 Benoit Is known not so much for his compositions as for the fact that he founded and developed the. Belgian or Flemish national school, and gave it a start toward international fame.

Oakland, Cal, Oct. 7- (UP) A convention of western young repub- licans, called to "revitalize" the party and indict the new deal, ap- peared today to have been turned into a buildup for Gov. Ali Landon of Kansas as republican presidential timber.
 In the minds of the 1000 dele- gates from II states was fixed 8 sharp contrast between Landon's conservative administration of pub- lie funds and that of President Roosevelt, whom the western youths found "eXtravagant."
 Fred A. Seaton, chairman of the young republicans of Kansas and Landon's personal representative. was the last speaker. Speaking of the governors fiscal policies and achievement in balancing his states budget, Seaton said:
 May suggest that in this con- nection the nation might well follow the example of Kansas"

The g. o. p. csrs will be used by the independ- ents to bring in votes against Mayor Hayes and his running mates.
 All this excitement in the repub- lican camp to-day was the result of overwhelming enthusiasm behind the democratic ticket shown over the weekend. old time democrats who might have had slight leaning to the independents or republicans have swung back to the regular or ganization after hearing such men as ex-Mayors William E.

TRACK Gets
FIRST CALL
At CENTRAL

Reams of youths IN nothing but
their birthday suits stalked over
scales yesterday at the Central gym =

education instructor, and an assist
ant spent all day weighing in gym
classes for class A, B, and c track
competition, and, though many of
last years regulars are back, the

ing prospects.
Dilbeck is the only regular back
in class A, but there are several
class B and G men who placed in
competition last year returning this
season. Jones and Stafford, who won
points in the pole vault; Edgar, who
won the football throw; Fujizawa,
who placed in the 100 yard low
hurdles; Gianola and Tamura, who
placed in the broad jump, and Du-
bois, who placed in the 1920 yard
run, are all present and raring to
go in. class B. In class c, Sugimoto,

Around these men, Coach Taylor
hopes to build track team which,

THE BIG, BAD, WOLF

Having killed off prohibition, correct
ed the banking laws, stamped out the
foot and mouth disease, and more recent
ly saved the nation from joining the
World Court, the Hearst papers, with
out even pausing in their constant Job of
fighting the Reds" and glorifying a fa-
nous film star, are now turning their at
tention to saving Imperial Valley-from
Harry Horton.
This is being done with no interruption
of the usual Hearstian function of giving
us the latest low-down on the intimate
details of scandalous divorce cases, or the
most gruesome facts, by means of lurid
writing and even more lurid pictures,
concerning the latest gang murder.
Imperial Valley must be saved from
Horton, who, according to the Hearst pa
pers, is a hydra-headed monster, stab
ber in the back, a seeker for 80 pieces of
silver or what have you, despite the
known fact in Imperial Valley that he
has the respect and friendship of large
number of residents, even to holding the
unique honor of twice being chosen to
head one of our leading fraterna1 organ
izations, is gentleman, successful at
torney, good husband, father and
neighbor.
Horton is such dire threat to Imper-
ial Valleys welfare from their viewpoint,
that the Hearst papers feel it necessary
to send a special correspondent down
here to write him up. Yesterday he got
q full eight-column banner and a full
column in the Hearst paper. Today, the
correspondent evidently having tired
himself by yesterdays effort, Harry gets
only two line head and half column.
The correspondent sits in Brawley and
gets the low-down on Horton by remote
control.
Maybe Harry is putting something
over on US after all. We strongly sus-
pect so after reading yesterdays and to-
days installments. 1t occurs to US that
many a lawyer would like to have such
extensive advertising, providing advertls-
ing in Hearst papers is deemed desirable.
Could Harry be pulling the leg of the
correspondent and the Los Angeles Ex-
aminer to get all this publicity for moth
ing?
1t is comforting to know, however, If
we are mistaken in our leg pulling idea,
that the valley is being guarded by the
Hearst organization. From now on We
won't be afraid to walk on the same
street with Harry Horton. In fact We'll
walk right on the same side of the street
and give him the ''razzberry.' II he
"razzberries' US back we know the Hearst
papers and their correspondent will get
him.
The big, bad wolf can't scare us.

two COWS and two heifers. Before
he was paid in the transaction the
animals were stolen from the pur-
chaser by a stranger and sold to w.
E. Rutherford. AS a consequence
OF this Bellamy sued Rutherford
asking the return of the COWS or
their values, $50.
In superior court this morning
Judge McPherin rendered judg-
ment in the case. He decreed that
Bellamy had failed to record the
conditional sales agreement and al
so that Rutherford had purchased
the animals from the stranger in
good faith. Ii was the court q
verdict that Rutherford could take
the COWS free CT any lien and Bel
lamy was TO have the calves or SIS

bravely held back her tears. Uncle
Wiggily gave the Bob Cat the pipe.
The Bad Chap put it in the soapy
water but, being very silly and
knowing no better, instead of blow
ing out the Bob Cat sucked in. A
lot of strong, soapy water got in
his mouth.

CHICAGO, Feb. l - Tony Can
zoneri of New York and New Or
leans, former featherweight, light
weight and junior welterweight
champion, today boasted his Tooth
ring victory.
He thoroughly whipped Leo Ro-
dak, Chicago youngster who had
scored % straight victories in Is
months in the professional ring, in
/ the Chicago stadium last night be-
! fore the biggest boxing crowd of the
year any place-l4,775 persons who
/ paid $33 ,546.67. 1t was a 10-round
bout, and Canzoneri deciSively won
seven rounds, probably had small
edge in two others, and lost only
one = the last. The decision was
unanimous. Canzoneri weighed 1929
and Kodak 130a4.
Canzoneri was pretty well worn
out chasing Kodak and trying to
pry himself out Of countless clinch-
es when the bell rang for the tenth
round. Canzoned's punches had lost
their sting, and Kodak waded
through them and landed almost at
viii in a final rally which saved
him from being one of the biggest
; fistic flops who ever drew a main
bout in the stadium.
Canzoneri's victory probably will
enable him to get another crack at
Barney Ross lightweight title.
which he lost to the Chicagoan here
in June. 1888. Competent ring cri-
tics believe it will be folly for him
to get into the ring again with Ross.

is, all except Baby Bunty, the or
phan rabbit, were taken to the moy-

Now wait a moment, please. Baby
Bunty didn t have to stay home be-
cause she was a bad little bunny.
The reason Baby Bunty couldn It go
to the movies was because she had
the sniffle snuffles and a coughie
offie and Mrs. Longears said
"Bunty is getting a bad cold 1t
would not be right for her to go to

catch a cold from her. Besides, if
