ESTELLA LENCI
CANNOT APPEAR
Virginia Grand Opera Star
Promises to Honor Ely
Later in the Year.

Arrangements had been almost COM
pleted by Frank v. DiNino, director of
the Ely Municipal Band, for the ap-
pearance here next Sunday of Miss
Estella Lenci, the Virginia grand opera
star, who was acclaimed at Virginia
concert, Sunday evening.
Howver, before the arrangements for
Miss Lenci's appearance in this city
could be completed, she was notified tc
appear in New York for the opening
of the grand opera season and her Ely
appearance was cancelled
Miss Lenci is Virginia young lady
daughter of Michael Lenci, of the firm
of Lenci, Lenci and Englund. The
junior member of the Leci firm has
been supervising the work of construct
ing the Ely Community Center and also
the Moose Temple. Both projects are
just on the verge of completion.
That she would have had a crowded
auditorium on her appearance in this
city goes without saying She regretted
her inability to be present with the
promise of singing to an Ely audience
later in the year.
The next concert of the Municipal
Band will take place at the auditorium
on Sunday, February 9Th, when Miss
Elizabeth Wilkin of the Ely schools will
be the guest artist.
Miss Wilkin is singer of attain
ments and will draw a large attendance
The band is also rehearsing some extra
fine selections for the occasion and
another of the enjoyable musical even
ings for an Ely audience is in prospect

lesson and Booth Lowery.
Ted realized, also, that there was
something screwy about the whole
business. He was smart, this Ted
Vaughn. It was brains that had put
him at the top of the heap. He in
tended to stay there.
For three months Ted watched Larry
Grant at work. But it wasn't until
one day Larry lost his temper or his
head or something and knocked a
sparring partner across the ring, that
Ted saw what he was looking for.
SATISFIED and not too greatly sur
~ prised, he went back to his stable
and had talk with one Of his fight
managers. Two weeks later he signed
with Jim and Booth, matching Larry
Grant against fighter belonging to
the Vaughn stables named Jaris. Jaris
wasn't an especially able man, but he
was conner; Ted Vaughn had hopes
for the boy.
The match was scheduled for the
Fourth of July. The gate was tre-
mendous. The odds favored Larry
Grant by margin that was ridiculous.
Only Jim lesson was worried. Jim
lesson knew Ted Vaughn of old. He
didn't like the SNUG look on Teds
face. And it developed that his fears
were justified.
The fight went IA rounds. Then the
referee stopped it. If he hadn't Larry
Grant would probably have dropped
from sheer exhaustion. After all, he
wasn't an outstanding specimen Of
physical strength. He was almost
puny. There was limit to his endur-
ance
That was Larry's last fight. Good
ness knows what's become Of him. But
we all know he'll never come back
to the ring again. The reason Is that
now every one has read in the papers
about that left of his. The left, you
know, is one full inch longer than his
right. Sure, he was smart. He kept
his left crooked up near his side in
defensive attitude. He used his right
chiefly, and when an opponent sized
him up, the opponent gagged Larry's
reach by the right. So when the time
came and Larry let go with his left
well, any fight fan can imagine the
result.
Ted Vaughn gave the story to the
papers. Ted was smart. He knew it
wouldn't do to let Larry continue
not so long as Ted made his money
promoting fights with Larry on the
opposite side of the fence.

Ladybird Bettle
Mazilla maculata.
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
ADYBIRD beetles have always
proved to be efficient workers

allied with farmers and all
IL who work with plants. 1t be-
hooves those interested in a garden
to know what the offspring OF the
ladybird beetles look like, for they
are very important to the grower
and there have been several instances
when the little black caterpillars
working in the cause of the plant
and its owner were put to death
because they looked like worms!"
Ladybird beetles have become so
valuable through the work their chill
dren do for us, that they are even
shipped by airplane in specially con-
structed capsules.
There are many ladybird beetles;
most of them are more or less hemi-
spherical, yellowish or reddish-brown,
with black or reddish spots over them.
though some are entirely black and
very small.
There have been imported to the
United States some extremely deter
mined insect foes, and at one time
the n?tter looked very serious. Then
were sund several species of ladybrid
beetles which made war on them in
their own coutry, and so we imported
the ladybirds, which have proven
their worth to us.
Many of these beetles, toward the
close of the summer season, collect
in vast numbers in protected places
and under debris to hibernate. In
fact, so great have been the numbers
that they could be gathered into
boxes by California growers and
placed in the fields where melons
and other crops were planted, and
where also f1ocked millions of aphidS.
The wise little mother beetle almost
seemed to know what was expected
Of them. OF course, they really did
not, but it worked out that way.
Eggs were laid on the under sides

plants. BY the time the aphids came

sary to keep the paid admission fight
ing for tickets.
CuriouSly, Larry was a paradox. He
had nothing by way of appearance or
performance that marked him as bet
ter or even as good as your run the
mill pugilist He was almost puny
His weight barely allowed him into
the light-heavyweight class. But he
packed a wallop. and that's what
counts in boxing circles
1t began a year ago in Suffolk. Larry
was being handled by chap named
Booth Lowery. Lowery was a broken
down fighter himself. He ran gym
nasium for kids. and promoted anna
teur bouts on the side. When Larry
signed up with him, Booth didn't give
the kid second look He figured here
was another sucker willing to pay
good money to be working in the once
famous Booth Lowery's gym.
Six weeks later Booth wrote to his
friend, Jim lesson, in New York. Jes-
son was big man in the fight world.
He and Booth had been friends.
THE yokels are having tercente-
nary celebration up her." Booth wrote,
"and they've asked me to put on an
exhibition bout. Be good scout and
send up some one who's good. I've a
boy who can offer any one you have
Q run for his money"
I'm had always liked Booth. For old
times sake he sent up Kit Glow,
a coming champ, and came along
himself to witness the slaughter. He
didn't tell Booth how good Kit was.
He thought it would be a good joke on
his old friend to have Kit slap the
yokel around bit
The yokel was Larry Grant. In the
third round Larry let go with his left,
and Coming Champ Kit Glow smacked
the resin and didn't get up until Larry
helped CLOVIS seconds pick him up.
No one was more shocked than Jim
lesson. He got hold of Booth and the
two of them went into conference.
They talked for half an hour, then
summoned Larry and Jim looked Larry
over and signed paper that Booth
had already made out.
The next 18 months are history.
Larry was matched against Horseface
Hennessey, Dapper McGrew, Slug
Yeaton and Tom Riley. He put them
all to sleep in less than five rounds.
