Rural Patrons I'm
prove Mail Boxes

Postmaster Boone wishes to con-
gratu!ate the patrons of the Coo
lidge rural route for the fine re-
sponse they have made to the re-
quest by the Postal department in
regard to painting, numbering, and
otherwise improving the looks OF
their mail boxes. Mr.. Boone is
quite sure that with this kind OF
cooperation on the part of the
patrons any future request made by
the patrons for improved mail ser
vices will have a greater bearing
with the department, when inspect
ors are sent to to investigate such
requests. With the patrons CO.
operating, it means better co-opera-
ton for better service all around.

alloy bus capable of carrying up to
140 persons. The first bus ever
built with trolley car capacity it
is nearly so feet in length and
steers with both front and back
wheels like a hook and ladder fire

Hank Armstrong Gives Lie to
Supremacy Myth, N, Y. Tribune

New York, Aug 19-The con-
sentative New York Herald Tri-
bune, in an editorial published
August 10, poses the question:
What has become of the quaint
old theory known as Nordic
supremacy" An d proceeds to
answer it in terms of the amaz-
ing fistic record of three world
title champion, Henry Arm
strong.
The complete text of the
editorial, Three Champions
in One" follows
"Devotees of boxing, the
Sweet Science Cor the sour
science, depending on tn point
of view, are for f r O m being
agreed that Henry Armstrong
is the greatest fighter that ever
laced on gloves, but he at least
has done something that no other
pugilisto ever did: he holds 8
world titles at one tim e, the
featherweight, lightweight, and
welterweight. That is to say he
is titular master of all pugilists
weighing from 1875 to lat lbs.
However, Wednesday night
he came out of the fight with
Lou Ambers for the lightweight
championship victorious, but
with his PRESTIGE dimmed. His
winning margin was extremely
narrow, and he seemed by far
the more badly punished fighter
at the end of fifteen savage
rounds. Some experts say that
he cannot last long because of
h tremendous energy he ex-
Ponds; he is a relentless furious
fighter who always attacks.
"Be that as it may, not even
his critics can laugh off the fact
that he holds three titles, some
thing no other man, BIZ a c k or
white, ever did in The history
of boxing. There is9tf6Y bnly 1
division, the ia.ghtwaig ht, cf
which a Negro is not the
champion. What has become of
that quaint old theory known as
Nordic supremacy"
