Tex Offers Money

It was Lawyer Floyd Lanham
who was fighting the injunctions
and half million damage suits
that had been slapped ON Jack
by the Harry Wills crowd who
claimed a contract was in ex-
istence for Jack to fight Harry
at the Chicago Coliseum.
Lanham revealed the utter
trust that ahided between Jack
and Tex Rickard by citing an
incident whereby 100000 cash
bond was being asked by the
Judge to postpone the case until
after the Tunney fight was over.
"I may need a hundred grand
to put it over" Lanham told
Rickard, adding, "do you sup
pose Jack has that much where
he can put his hands on it?"
Richards countenance became
wreathed in both alarm and
assurance.
IF you need that much money
TO stem this Injunction, don't
bother Jack about it, but come
to me. I'll give it to you and
get 1t from Jack after the fight
Is over-we just can't worry
him now!'
Greater faith than that have
few men-in that particular
business!

home. This is not affected
either. His restaurant training
has made him a genuine host,
ever mindful of those within his
gates.
So you gather that the old
mauler has not merely given his
name to an enterprise for con-
sid era ions forthcoming, but
rather he is throwing his own
effervescing personality into a
venture to give value in full.
There is no man Of DempSey'S
years who might not well envy
his waist line.
And how do you think he
keeps in condition?
Well. in the first place he has
an outdoor gymnasium atop his
New York restaurant where his
faithful old trainer, Jerry "The
Greek" LevadiS, puts him
through daily PAGES.
On All FOurs
And in the second place, he
claims to receive a great amount
Of physical good from getting
down on the floor while at home
and playing with the two young
daughters.
Eyes, sir" says Jack with
CLINT in his eye betraying a great
parental pride. there's nothing
in the world so good for a man
in his middle years who wishes
to keep the rolls of fat off his
stomach, as getting right down
on the floor with the youngsters
and romping.
"If there's no kids, do it with
the poodle or the cat, but down
on all fours you must get if you
want to keep your figure with
out spending time and money at
Q health club"
B0er a Puzzle
And say, Jack Dempsey has
some ideas about the forthcom-
ing fight between Tommy Farr
and Max Baer. He leaves the
inference that Baer is the better
man but that much depends on
his intentions when he gets in
the ring.
as funny about Make" Jack
was telling a group of admirers,
"that fellow can hit like an OK
and fight a pretty heady go
when he makes up his mind.
"But nobody knows when he
takes to the ring whether he's
going to be serious or whether
he Is going to clown. Tell me
his mental attitude that night,
or any other night he fights,
and I'll pick you the winner"
One of the luncheon guests
was an old Chicago friend of

Yes, all the verve, flash, color
and enthusiasm which marked
Jack Dempsey in the ring he
has carried into his private life.
Success is written in his every
move and every word.
When you can't take your
eyes off a man, that individual
has magnetism. His score and
more of guests were rapt in
attention every minute that
Dempsey spoke and, in truth.
each second he was in the room.
Could it be conceivable that
this nicely poised fellow indeed
rode the brake beams or ever
fought in the smoky squalor Of
small.time clubs? Hardly; but
he did.

MERCHANDISING
By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON

The rural community IS a merchandising, social and
cultural 1t the people Of the town and OF
the farm homes surrounding the town. 1t creates real es
values for both town and farm property These real
estate values provide for schools and government which
supported by taxes.
Of these three functions of the rural community the
st essential is that of merchandising center Without
me places in which to buy and SELL without merchandise
assingwoud go property values both in the town and
the farms The schools sto banks, and all
things which make for social and cultural life for the
people would, in timey disappear.
It the rural towns of America that make, to very
large extent the difference between the culture and iv
ing conditions American farm people and the peasants
European nations makes the difference between the
culture and opportunity of American farm homes and the
drab dull mere existence Of the average French farm
'amy.
There is continuous effort to centralize merchandise
ing in the cities Merchants and mail order houses seek
ing the trade of the country peopethose of the towns
and farms-and succeeding to very considerable eX
tent Their efforts supported by good roads, automobiles
and cheap and convenient bus transportation have been
responsible for the death of hundreds of towns whose
merchants did not offer reasonable successful compe
ton These towns died because their people and those of
the surrounding farms did not appreciate the value to them
selves of what the town provided
