NEW YORK, April 2S.-The
success of the phenomenal Phil
lies has affected Doc Prothro
strangely. He says the Dodgers
look to be a flrst-division ball
club to him. If you're looking
for Derby dark horses, how about
Lightspur and Hash? Joe Nc
Carthy (who once was an en-
gagged guy himself) is fretting
lest Joe Di Maggie Jump the gun
and decide to get married in mid
season. Bridgeport (Conn) is
looking for a miracle man who
can find room for 100 softball
teams on the five available
fields. Louis Feustel, who trained
Man O. War. has shifted to
Johnstown in the Derby.

Lear MT. L.. WQaC is C1e WOrlQ
record?-Frank j.
Answer-Fourteen and two-flfths
Dear Mr.. Larkin: A little group of
us here at the Tuesday bridge and
luncheon club are anxious to know
something about the life and record
of Joe (Yussel the Muscle) Jacobs,
whom we recently voted the most
glamorous man in public life. We
think he is too good-looking for
words-Elsie S.
Answer-Your question raises a
battling problem, Elsie Joseph ia
cobs (born Joseph Jacobe) undoubt-
ly is too good-looking for some Of
the words that have been used to
describe him, but it's hard to say
where truth ends and exaggeration
begins. This hard-riding son of a
family of famous polo players.
known in his own set as 'Laddie"
Jacobs, is the author of such best
selling phrases as He fouled my
fighter!", 1--WE was robbed!", Il
should Of stood in bed!" and IF
I had only one life to lose for my
country, would be in a predica-
ment." Jacobs wears underwear
next to his skin, and is a constant
first nighter, as well as a second,
third, fourth, fifth and sixth nighter.
He smokes imported cigars and his
cellar is famous for the rich and
mellow grade Of coal that he stores
there.
Dear Mr. Brown: Please return
the five dollars ($0 you borrowed
from me In 1931.-Howard K. Whit
un.. .
Answer-Mr. Brown no longer is
connected with this firm.
Wrestling Is on Level
All Its Own.
Dear Mr.. Lardner: Here Is
technical point which came up at
the local ball park. There were
runners on first and third. the score
was to 0. the batter got into an
argument with the umpire at the
plate over which is the better first
baseman, Jimmy Foxx or Hank
0ACCAANCA6 g. AAAC SAAAPAAC AuACA AA
favor of Greenberg, though he ad-
mitted that there was nothing in
the rules to cover the situation. He
then instructed the batter to stand
up there and hit. What do you
think?-Bewildered.
Answer-As between Foxx and
Greenberg, it is very close. Some
believe that Foxx is closer than
Greenberg, and some feel that
Greenberg is closer than Foxx. Both
boys lead splendid lives off the ball
field.
Dear Mr.. Lardner: What has be-
come Of Jesse Owens?-Curious.
Answer-Jesse Owens was born and
educated in Ohio, the State which
produced such famous Presidents as
Taft, Mckinley, Harding and Ben
tamin Harrison. I'll have him PACED
for you in the lobby.
Dear Sir: Is wrestling on the
level?-Mother of Three.
Answer-Wrestling is the most
ancient form of combative sport
There have been a great many
wrestlers, including Francis the First
OF France, Cain, Abel, William Null
doom, Abraham Lincoln, Jim Londos
and Frank Gotch. Wrestling is on
q level all its own.

Tells AII-Then Some
BY JOHN LARDNER.


NEW YORK, April % (NANA).
People all over the world have
formed the habit of writing in to
the Lardner letter box for informa-
tion-and I want to take this oppor-
tunity to say, from the bottom of my
heart, that resent it.
With this brief acknowledgment,
now We will plunge elbow-deep into
the weeks mailbag and see what we
can do to solve the problems of the
baffed and heartsore, from coast to
coast, and 1t doesn't make h
of lot of difference which coast we
start with.
Dear Mr.. Lardner: Please settle
bet. claim that Firpo knocked
Dempsey out of the ring in 1923. My
mother-in-law claims that Dempsey
knocked Firpo out of the ring. 1
have showed her the record books
and the moving pictures and also an
affidavit from Mr.. Dempsey admit
ting that he was knocked out of the
ring, but my mother-in-la claims
she does not trust Mr.. Dempsey as
far as she can throw a double bed,
and she says that the movies were
faxed. How am I going to convince
her?-Unhappy.
Answer-Luis Angel Firpo was
born in the Junin Province of
Buenos Aires on October II, 1896.
His father was italian and his
mother Spanish. He was known as
the Wild Bull of the Pampas to his
critics and as "Mr. Firpo" to his
friends. He was a nice fellow, but
restless. hope this answers your
question.

HOLLY SUGAR PLANT.
HELPS pAYR0LLS IN
MONTANA INDUSTRIES

One of Montana's leading agricul-
tural crops is sugar beets. Among
the outstanding beet sugar COM
panies operating in Montana is the
Holly Sugar Corporation.
The Holly plants are completely
%unionized, not only in Montana, but
over tleir entire organization. Oper-
alton Of the company is extended
over Montana, Wyoming, Colorado
and California.
Pictured herewith is a picture of
the Holly Sugar plant at Sidney,
Montana. The beets a be seen
still growing in the foreground. Beet
trucks are seen near the plant haul
ing beets to the plant to be pro-
cessed. The large white bins at the
right are bins where the sugar is
stored before shipping.
The Sidney plant will normally
produce each year in excess of half
a million bags of sugar.
Holly is the only sugar company
operating in Montana which has two
separate plants within the state. The
original plant is located at Sidney,
while the latest plant completed is
at Hardin, Montana.

WORKERS ALLIANCE
PROPOSES STATE AND
NATIONAL ACTION

A meeting of the state executive
board of the Montana Workers ALI
ance held in Helena on May 6 out
lined a general program for the or
carnations IS locals in the state to
follow in defeating the serious crisis
existing now because of WPA and
relief cuts. During the one-day ses-
sion board members, after hearing
reports Of STATE leaders, worked out
a program of action that included
the following points:
1. Sending a full quota of dele
gates to the national FRIGHT TO
WORK CONGRESS" being held in
Washington, D. c.
2. Calling a statewide demonstra-
ton of persons affected by welfare
cuts to take place in Washington,
D. c.
8. Organization of support for the
$50 at so pension plan being spon-
sored by Jerry O'Connell and the
Workers Alliance.
The meeting also worked out pro-
posals along the same line to be sub
mitted to the State Conference on
Unemployment and Relief Needs
which was held the following day.
William Davey, state Alliance presi-
dent, presided over the meeting.
National Work Congress" Postponed
The national office of the Workers
Alliance Of America announced May
IL thai they had found it necessary
to advance tine date of the RIGHT
TO WORK CONGRESS by one
week. It will be held on June 3
instead of the original date they had
scheduled, May 27. Two important
factors were considered in making
the change, they stated. First, the
new date would coincide more close
ly with congressional action on the
appropriations bill which would
cover the government work pro-
gran for the fiscal year of 1910. Also,
the extra time would allow for more
preparation on the part of organiza-
tons who are having a difficult time
tc finance their delegates.
The Butte Alliance has for the
past week been in full swing carry
ing out its end of organization for
the state and national program. A
special open meeting will be held
on next Monday, May %, at which
all persons on relief are invited to
attend. Plans will be made at the
meeting to arrange for local action
and, in addition, arrangements for
the state demonstration will be
worked out.
The local Alliance is also con-
Quoting a drive to raise 5000 as a
Fighting Fund with which to finance
both their state action and the dele
gates chosen to represent them at
the Washington work congress-"
Two drive committees are busy
contracting individuals, unions, bust
ness men, ~fraternai organizations
and others in sympathy with the
unemployed, asking their moral and
! financial support.
