AN OPINION

Mr.. Hammargren was telling the
people at the crop school that the
merchants in one of the small cities
of the county had agreed mot To
Handle Nutmargarine Or Any Other
Butter Substitutes" A mighty good
move to help the depression of the
price of butterfat. If every merchant
selling foodstuffs in the county would
do the same. it certainly would help
to boost the price of butterfat in some
measure, and incidentally teach some
of the producers, who are giving aid
and comfort to their enemies by using
substitutes, to eat their own product.

GRlFFITHS SEEKING
REVENGE ON GAGN0N

CHICAGO, April 80 R.-Revenge
and restoration to his high rank among
heavyweights or virtual fistic oblivion
confronts fluffy" Grifith tonight as he
squares off for a return engagement
with Jack Gagnon, an upstart COB from
Boston with an Army mules kick.
The tough one from Sioux City, Iowa,
out to redeem himself for the Six-round
knockout suffered at Gagnons hands a
month ago in Philadelphia, was at the
crossroads of his brilliant ring career
and a capacity crowd of 10000 specta-
tors was expected to pay in excess OF
$4,000 to watch the battle, billed for
10 rounds at the Chicago Stadium.
For Gagnon, rugged type of fighter,
who unlike Grif1ths is willing to take
five punches to land one, the match was
equally important Victory would help
him prove that it wasn't lucky punch
that felled Griffiths in Philadelphia and
would lift him up as one of the serious
heavyweight championship contenders.
