one and two-round k~nockouts. Joe

ring adversaries.
history occurred in Helena in the
summer of 1904, when Montana Jack"
Sullivan kayoed Bud" Johnson. The
l bout consumed less than five seconds.
Bout Lasted Five Seconds
The usual count of 10 was dis
pensed with. Referee Dune McDon-
aid raised Sullivan's hand as soon as
Johnson hit the floor, then walked

! Sullivan dashed from his corner and
landed a left hook to Johnson's chin.
Johnson half turned, then fell forward,

lying prone on the mat, saw the blood;
and without any hesitation declared
Sullivan the winner. Before the crowd
knew the score, the referee had left the
operahouse. Only one blow was struck.
Not more than five seconds had tran
spired from gong to the hand raising.
Montana Jack" was working as an
struction work at the military post was
under way. A colored infantry troop
was stationed there. A dusky corporal
named Bud" johnson not only was
the best boxer at the fort but was sup
posed to be the heavyweight champion
Of the army. His captain was proud OF
Johnson and was ready to back him
against all corners.
Sullivan was pointed out to the cap
tain as a boxer, while the officer was
inspecting work on the building. The
contractor, Elliott by name, was called
to the headquarters office that after
noon. Thinking that the captain wished
to question him about some work, he
brought along blue prints, but work
charts didn't intrigue the captain that
afternoon. He asked Elliott about Sui
Ivan. How good was hep" and Gould
he take it?" and would he be willing
to meet the negro fighter"
Elliott found out that johnson
weighed 17e pounds: He told the cap
tain that Jack weighed 1853 pounds, |
and the wide difference in the weight
might prompt Jack to decline taking
on the bout. The captain told him to
see Jack and find out if he would be
interested.
When Elliott preached the subject,
Jack told him to 60 ahead and make
the arrangements. He insisted on TAX
ing two weeks off to get in shape. Jack
also told Elliott to cut him on any bets
that could be made. The infantry Of
ficer was delighted to get word that
Sullivan would fight johnson. He told
Elliott that he would have a ring built
in the canyon above the fort. All was
set, and the willy captain then preached

bran, one part by weight. Corn or bar
ley may be substituted for the wheat.
Should milk be scarce the lambs may
be gradually weaned after they are one
month to six weeks old, providing they
are given a grain ration. If skim milk
is available the lambs may be changed
gradually from the whole milk to skim
milk after they are three weeks old.
Lambs that are to be grown out for
breeding purposes should be fed the
following grain ration: ground wheat,
one part by weight; crushed oats, three
parts by weight; linseed meal, one part
by weight, and wheat bran, one part by
weight. Or in place Of this mixture,
whole oats may be fed.

With indications that lambs will

fall, farm flock owners may well
afford to hand feed those lambs
that cannot be- raised on their.
mother or another eve that has
lost her lamb, advises i. M. C. An
derson, extension livestock special
ist at Montana State college. The
percentage of loss in raising these
bum" lambs depends upon the
care exercised in feeding them and
the huskiness of the lambs.
In raising bum lambs it is best that
they get ewes milk for the first day,
if possible, Anderson says, and after
that they may be changed to cows milk
Lambs that are strong and have a
good drink Of milk soon after birth US
ually are very little trouble to raise.
lambs is cleanliness of all utensils used
and always having the. milk at a tenn
perature of 80 to IS degrees F.. The ex-
tension specialist cautions against feed
ing in too large quantities at M time.
Growers who find it impossible to get
ewes milk for the first feeding should
feed two tablespoonful Of cows milk

lambs by feeding two tablespoons of
milk every two hours for the first "a
hours. This amount al be gradually
increased and the number of feelings
decreased until the lambs are being
fed about two ounces each feeding every
four hours. The amount of feed is in
creased as the lambs grow older until
the number of feelings has been de-
creased to three q day when the lambs
are two weeks old.
When the lambs are two weeks old
they will begin nibbling at grass, hay
or grain, if it Is available and Ander-
son recommends the following mix
lures to have before the lambs; crushed
oats and bran mixed $3.50 by weight,
or dry beet pulp alone, or dry beet pulp
and oats mixed $3.50 by weight.
BY the time the lambs are three
weeks old, they will be regular feeders
on the grain mixture and 1t should be
before them at all times but not al
lowed to become contaminated. Ander-
son advises that it is a good practice
to clean out the grain troughS at least
once each day and put in fresh grain.
If the grower plans to fatten the
lambs out for immediate slaughter. the
grain mixture could be changed grad
ually after the first month to mt con-
sisting of the following mixture: ground

Cut Bank Resident
Lauds Honesty Of
Well Water Users

Alex Johnston Of Cut Bank says
most people are honest and conscien-
thousand he has proof of it.
MI. Johnston has a pure spring water
well on his ranch about three miles
west of Cut Bank and in recent weeks
people from the town have been flock
ing to the place in ever-increasing
numbers to secure water for drinking
purposes.
MIR. Johnston some time ago fixed the
nominal sum of one-half cent a gallon
to users, permitting them to tender
the payments when they saw fit.
Most of them, he says, leave the
amount due when they secure the water.
others pay at certain periods and a few
have come and gone without rendering
payment. The number of those who do
not pay is very small.
Sometimes, when all members Of the
family are absent, money for the water
is placed on the doorstep or other
places where it can be found.
So Mr.. Johnston still has a lot OF
faith in human integrity.

of the planet. The next few nights were cloudy
and he waited with impatience. On the next clear
night he saw only two stars to the east and
fourth star. He found other planets with stars
circling round them. From all his study, Calico
became convinced that Copernicus had been right
in thinking that the earth and the other planets
revolve around the sun, just as the smaller stars
revolve around the planets.
But such ideas as Galielos, which up
set the belief of centuries and made 1t necessary
for men to change their whole way of thinking,
were not to be generally accepted by people in
day, nor in a century.
IN NEVERTHELESS the work of Coperncus
N and Calico revolutionzed mems ideas
about the earth, and in time there was not to be
found in all Europe thinker who did not accept
their belief But if the earth is great ball in
space how is it held in its place? Why do things
stay on it? Why don't they fall off into space?
Questions like these puzzled thinkers for CEN
turies. Early peoples, knowing from experience
that everything has to be supported in some way,
reasoned that the earth, too, had to be sup
ported The early Hindus believed that the earth
rested on the backs of four elephants, that stood
on huge tortoise which f1oated on the universal
ocean The early Greeks thought that mighty
man, Atlas who had rebelled against the au-
thority of the gods was punished by being made
to stand in the middle of the ocean and support
the world on his shoulders.
MANY, many centuries later, great English
scientist, Isaac Newton, was pondering over
these same great questions in his garden 1t is
said that as he sat quietly thinking, an apple
from a nearby tree suddenly snapped from it's
branch and dropped to the ground. The sound at
tracted his attention. Why did the apple fall to
the earth 2 Newton, the scientist asked himself;
and then he answered, because the earth pulled
it Gradually the idea unfolded in his mind that
everything the earth is pulled toward 1t by
a great invisible magnetic force, which he called
gravitation and he reasoned that the earth and
all the other planets were held in their places
through the attraction of the sun by this same
great force. What inspiring picture of the
heavens Newton's theory gives us, with the
heavenly bodies swinging in great circles about
the sun, all securely held in their places in space
through the working of a single all-embracing
force!"

the nursery comfortable. The great
gray owl. however, makes every effort
to do so. A cozy cradle is lined with
feathers or moss. The home may be
in a hollow tree or a house built o.
twigs.
From two to four white eggs are
laid. In Alberta this would occur
about April 10. Each parent shares
the hours of brooding and later the
care and education of the children.
Like all owl babies, their natal clothes
are soft, fluffy down, a contrast, in
deed, to their fierce expression and
businesslike beaks.
This Is the time of the year when
owls are most valuable to their human
brother. 1t would be impossible to
know just how many millions Of mice
are caught while owl families are be-
ing raised, for the babies are greedy
little rascals and keep their parents
busy all night long. AS they are never
in hurry to leave their nursery they
are quite grown-up looking when you
see them sitting outside their home
close to the nursery door.
They have their feathered foes.
Blue jays love to tease sleepy headed
owls. Crows even kill them and so
do hawks.
When owls are out for tiny bit Of
sun their own ce,oring is so incon-
spicuous it is not easy to find them.
Your local Audubon Society will have
the list of owls living in your neighbor-
hood. Then you can look for trees
with inviting little openings. Some

YOU can visit these silent hunters o.
