charms, dirty shirts, the time of day
and many other little idiosyncrasies
play an important part in the settle

For instance. there's j. N. Bozeman,
Jr, the 27-year-old sensation from
Vallejo. Cal, who has won four
straight games, he wouldn't think of
stepping TO the table unless he's wear
ing slave bracelet given him by his
bride Of few weeks.
Alfredo DO Orc. 7l-year- old Cuban
who was champion before many Of
the current contenders were born,
knows he is at his best at night when

picture taken before a match.
Augie Kieckhefer. the Chicago
southpaw, is convinced it is bad luck

It Is Philadelphia's most important
boxing bout since 1926, the year that

Jack Dempsey.
Schmeling, dubbed by some the Ger

HUGE LEMON ON
DISPLAY IN PHOENIX

The only man Of record who
ever handed lcuttn" to q
president Of the United States
was Lewis Wolf. Phoenix. The
lemon Is Of the American Won
der variety and weighs three
and half pounds.
The tree on which IL was
grown is 30 years old. In 1910
Mr. Wolf transplanted the tree
from its original location TO the
present one. II is now twelve
feet high and has a spread Of
more than 10 feet. The only
protection il has ever had from
frost was in the keeping Of the
water away from 1t, beginning
with the middle OF November
until danger Of frost was over
in the spring. The only marks
winter ever left upon il was a
slight singeing Of the more ten
der twigs.
The crop this year consists OF
so lemons from two pounds and
up. 4 two pound lemon yields
about n pint OF Juice. The fruit
is slightly less acidulous than
the ordinary lemon, but more
aromatic.
The president who was hand
cd lemon was Mr.. Coolidge.
IL was dispatched by the Cham
Der OF Commerce by mail 10
Denver and thence by airmail
TO Washington.
Measured by the value OF the
front page space that was given
TO that lemon II was estimated
that it received S22. 900 worth

THE GOLDFN EGGS

The taxpayer, let il never be
forgotten. is the mainstay Of
government, says the Detroit
Times. He is as rule, the
man Of steady industry and
frugality, who labors early and
late producing, saving, pay
ing and supporting.
"Hc is socictys prop and re-
lance Without bin. recovery
is an idle dream and the great
projects OF government are fore
doomed TO failure.
This essential figure, the tax
payer. has few vocal defenders.
Public officials pile steadily in
crcasing burdens on him. They
take a large part Of his income
and often his savings. both thru
taxation aud through tax-ex-
empt governmental projects
which compete with his private
endeavors.
You don have 10 pav direct
taxes to be a taxpayer You
may never pay an income tax
or q property tax, but a sub
stantial percentage Of your earn
ings is taken for taxes never
thc-less. The grocer who sells
YOU food, the factory that pro-
duces it and the railroad which
transports it, are heavily taxed,
and the tax they pay IS added
to the cost Of everything ou
buy.
Everyone Of us is a taxpayer.
Everyone Of us is proud to sup
port our government. But each
one OF us is less secure in his
job and his savings, as oppres-
sive tax and Legislative policies
discourage industries and in
vestments which provide steady
jobs.
The taxpayer is the goose
that lays the golden eggs. viii
the public servants he employs
kill him in an endeavor to col
lect more eggs than he can pro-
duce?
