Mount Carmel Group
 Plans Riddle Event
Juvenile Parishioners to Be Featured in Show This
 MOnth-Society to Sponsor Boy Scout Troop
BROOKLYN NEWS

Plans for the presentation of a kiddies revue were formulated last night at the monthly meeting of the Noly Name society of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. The entertainment will take place at the parish recrea- tion hall Sunday evening, March 29, and will be followed by dancing to the music of Mad River or chestra.
 Since the completion of the re- crcational hall, it has been learned that among the children there was found to be sufficient talent to war rant the presentation, of a separate performance other than having them take part in the minstrels held annually under the auspices of the Holy Name society. The show will be under the direction of Alex Comardo.
 The society will sponsor parish Boy Scout troop now being organ izcd. Fathers were asked to send their sons to the meetings of the unit which will be held in the near future.
 An interesting talk on the life and activities of St. Patrick was given by Rev. Michael Lynch, pas tor, who reviewed the patrons ac- complishments through his lifetime. Father Lynch complimented the group on their turnout at Sundays parade.

COUNTY YIELD BASIS
FOR FLAX PAYMENTS

Flax payments to farmers cooper
ating in the agricultural conservation
program will be based upon average
flax yields for the county and the
productivity index of the individual
farm, and not upon actual production
this year, according to J. @. Taylor, d.
rector, Montana extension service.
This means, Taylor states, that even
where flax crops planted this year
were destroyed by drouth, grasahop-
pers, or other causes, farmers PARTED
pating in the program will be entitled
to the flax payments.
To obtain payments, a farmer who
has filled out a work sheet must file
an application and have an accompany
ing acreage in soli-conserving crops
equal to one-fifth of the acreage In
flax.
Payments will be made upon the
flax acreage planted by each farmer
participating in the program. The pay
ments will be 20 cents q bushel ON the
normal yield for the farm. This normal
yield will be computed by multiplying
the county average yield by the pro
ductivity index for the farm. This N-
suit will be the number of bushels per
acre on which payment will be made
for each acre planted.

Realizing that many professional

Of the Butte public school system, last
fall evolved a project unique through
out the United States.
A dozen unemployed librarians and
teachers are making 1000 scrap books
for use in the Butte schools. From
thousands of magazines which have
been donated, pictures and articles r
clipped. The material is then classified
by subject, with the most interesting
items under each subject pasted and
bound into scrap books.
A wide variety of useful informa-
ton is contained in the well-bound
books, which are being made specific
ally for the various levels of pre-
school, grammar school, and high
school youth. Not only will kinder
garden tots find a realm of picture
enchantment in the books, school Off

in supplementing old text books in
history, science, geography and other
subjects.

in a row. The Detroit world champion
team of 1885 lost more than 40 games
last year, most of them to weak clubs.
It is an annual story, the champion
team loses Is percent of games played.
Notre Dame, u. s. c., Stanford and a
score of other great football teams have
lost games when rated as cinches;
Great Falls high eleven last year was
considered unbeatable, yet the Hodge
men were beaten. And so on, in all
branches of sport. Cinches aren't always
what they seem to be. Enthusiasm, plus
believing all we hear and read, whether
written by experts or spoken by fans,
causes us to lose our reason and shirts.
Fight experts, almost every man jack
of them, told you and the world that
Louis was the quintessence of par ex-
cellence. You and the world believed it.
Yes, Louis was supposed to be a cinch-
a big cinch. Schmeling was counted as
a set-up, an underdog, a battler who
was in his fighting dotage. Next time
you are promoted to bet on a positive
cinch, remember, there amt no such
animal.
Anyone, anything, can be beaten;
man, team, horse, dog, car. boat or
what have you.

Home Built Power Pump Draws
Water From Sand Pit For Fields

With q homemade centrifugal pump
constructed at low cost and driven by
an old automobile engine, j. J. Howell.
Gallatin county farmer, solved two
problems on his farm this summer.
The pump enabled him to dry out an
flowing and swapping part OF his
farm, and at the same time utilize the
water to irrigate q field Of alfalfa after
his bitches had gone dry.
Enthused yer the pumps success,
Howell decided to carry it a step far
ther. He reasoned that a pit dug in
the gravelly subsoil would collect water
as the gravel pit had done. After dig;
ging such a pit eight feet square mi
enough water seeped into it to furnish
about 100 cubic feet at each pumping.
He pumps the pit four or five times
q day and uses the water to irrigate
a potato patch.
TO handle the water in his dug pit,
Howell constructed a new pump, small
er than the first but of similar design.
attached a four-vane propeller. This IS
housed in a box-like wooden shaft
and the spinning of the propeller
forces the water up the wooden shaft
and into the flume which carries it to
the ditch. An old automobile serves as
a power plant. The belt from the pump
shaft is placed over the tire of the
left real wheel of the car.
A theory of the state college irriga-
ton department that where too much
water IS used for irrigation, it soaks
into the ground and travels for long
distances under the surface and may
provide a supplemental supply during
dry years, is given added significance
by the success of Howell's latest install
lation.
BY writing the irrigation department,
Montana Experiment station, Bozeman,
farmers may obtain detailed plans for
low-cost centrifugal pumps such as
Howell has been using.

Sullivan was a resident Of our native

greatest OF the ring great, and I think
she told US, too, that she hoped the
story wasn't true. She was pro-Sulli-
van, and her class Of IS boys put on
a weeping act for her benefit, and I
know we believed for a time that Sulli-
van not only lost the fight, but was
dead.
Many years later, when I first met
Corbett, I told him this story. In fact,
at his request, I told him the tale every
time we met.
Mourned Corbett's Loss
But idols fau-new ones take their
place; we become reconciled to changes,
and find that we like and respect the

afterwards, when Fitzsimmons knocked
out Corbett at Carson City, I took the
news hard and hoped its wasn't true.
I was still attending the same sisters
school, and I recall that we kids pre-
vailed upon the Mother Superior to
telephone into town and get the news
Of the fight before we were sent to our
beds. The news of Corbett's loss was a
shock, too. When the account of the
fight was read to us the following day,
we did get some consolation, because
Corbett was miles ahead of the Aus
tralian up to the time the fatal solar
plexus blow was delivered in the 18th
round, that caused the death of one
champion and the birth of another.
Personal impressions and reminisc-
ing aside, the two most stunning ring
upsets occurred miles apart-in 1892
and 1886. The victims Of the upsets
were John L. Sullivan and Joe Louis.

Sullivan to kayo the pompadoured bank
clerk, who came out of San Francisco
to inject clevernesS into boxing, so did
all the experts and alleged wise birds
pick Louis to make short work Of
Schmeling.
Ring history is dotted with many
upsets, but the two greatest upheavals
OF all time were the fights that saw
the pronounced favorites lose by the
Knockout route. Sullivan and Louis
were veritable cinches. Their losses
stunned the boxing world.
Butte Man Boston Scribe
Towne, in 1892 a reporter on a BoS-
ton paper, recalls that the city of cul-
ture became the city of doubt. The
home town of the great John l.. re-
fused to believe that the rough and
ready idol had fallen. Towne recalls
writing a series of articles dealing with
the near mystery of the decline and fall
of Boston's favorite son. Many per
the fight was faxed; that Sullivan was

and Schmeling affair looked like a bad
match when 1t wa made, Just as did
the Corbett and Sullivan brawl. There
was some difference in the two setups.
Corbett was the youngster, not re-
garded seriously. In the fight at New
York, Schmeling, a veteran, was con-
sidered all washed up.
The Shock of 1892
I was talking with a Philipsburg
man the other day who recalled list
ening to the wire report of the Sulli-
van-Corbett fight. He doesn't want his
name printed, and, so he is labeled
Mr.. A. The report of the New Orleans
fight was received in a saloon at the
burg. Mr.. A recalls that the place was
jammed with Sullivan boosters, and
that there wa hardly a Corbett SYM
pathizer in the place. The wire report
was poor; delaysi occurring between
each round. Whoopee was being gen
Grated in the saloon fashion Of the
nineties. It was a holiday for miners,
all work being called off for the day.
