Rich Coffee

THE limitation of production of glass jars, plus the increased
] demand for Nashs Coffee, make it impossible at this time
to pack all of our volume in glass jars. We are, therefore,
temporarily offering Nash's Coffee in paper bags, in addition to
the glass jars. If your grocer is out of Nashs Coffee in glass jars,
he will be supplied again in a very short time. Meanwhile, we
suggest that you purchase the paper bag. It's the same rich and
fragrant Nash's Coffee that you've long enjoyed. Buy it with
~confdencel And, the bag sells for a few cents less. The Nash

Bum" lambs on the Herman
Gunther farm near Richland lead
a happy life. These offspring from
the Gunther herd, refused recogni-
ton by their mother ewes, are all
cared for by Theodore CTeddy)
Urban, l2-year-old son of Mrs.
Gunther.
Last year, Teddy raised 81 lambs
and cleared SIS on his work. He
helped at home during lambing and
harvest, too, so that he was able
to buy a total of s275 in war bonds
this year.
The feeder shown in the picture
he built himself. This mechanical
eve feeds a dozen lambs at one time.
1t saved not only time but, as his
mother commented, also conserved
which are on the critical
list with the rubber shortage. Every
lamb was fed three times a day for
about three months until all were
able to range for themselves or eat
other feed.
Teddy plans to use the feeder
again this year after lambing time
and put still more money into bonds.

Was This Hen Just
Absent Minded, or
What Did Happen?

After discussion by various agri-
cultural authorities, people are
wondering if an egg brought to The

hen who didn't have her mind on

The egg came from the Joe
SCHNEIDER farm neal Glasgow and

The regular shell was covered by
a soft membrane, about the same
consistency as the ease" one usually
finds just inside a normal egg. Be
tween the membrane and the egg
proper was a liquid. Some theorized
that the outer membrane was the
beginning of a second shell which
is sometimes found in a double
egg" Others, not quite so expert.

James j. Corbett, cleverest
heavyweight boxer who ever
lived, started to run away in his
first fight, continued to do so
ever after-but with disastrous
results for the other fellow.
Little Jim had his first fight
with a much bigger kid named
Fatty Carney in st. Ignatius
school in San Francisco back in
1873. Corbett was IL, Fatty Is.
Corbett won by dancing out of
reach of Carney's wratful swings
and popping Fatty in the eye
with counters. Result of fight,
both kids were expelled from
school.
Young Jim's father conducted
a livery stable in San Francisco,
encouraged the boy to fight. Got
the youngster a job as messen-
ger in the Nevada Bank of San
Francisco. Evenings Corb I t
boxed and wrestled with pal,
Lew Harding. who owned set
of boxing gloves. They'd freeze
four quarts of ice cream, wrestier
half an hour, eat half the cream,
box half an hour, eat the re-
mainder of the ice cream. Won
der is, it didn't kill them. But
kids thrive on anything, and
Jimmy Corbett developed his
natural talent as clever boxer.

James John Corbett, 81, 178

children in the Corbett family,

Francisco. He got his first box

English professional imported as
instructor at the Olympic Club
in San Francisco, who taught
him the finer points of scientific
boxing.
Corbett's brilliant record is
too we'll known to dwell on here.

Ted MeElroy
Is Quoted As
Considering Deol'

BOSTON. March 2 Up
A radio-tinker man, who ran a
two-by-four repair shop into a
million dollar war industry now
operating in the shadow of Bos-
tons Fenway Park - home of
the Boston Red Sox may
purchase the controlling interest
in the fabulous Brooklyn Dod-
gers.
He is 225 pound, five foot,
eight inch Theodore Roosevelt
McElroy, who. according TO re-
ports out of New York, is head
ing a group Of baseball fans and
businessmen in negotiations aim
ing toward pure base of the
Buns.
McElroy could not be reach
ed Immediately for comment -
he was reported as somewhere
between his Boston plant, his
home in nearby Milton and his
summer place in Littleton, N.
H., last night. But associates said
he is considering the deal"
Here in Boston Ted is a fav-
orite with newspapermen, par
ticularly the sports writer's. For
years before he began to invent
radio gadgets, which reputedly
blossomed into a $4,500,000 war
contract business this year, he
was a telegraph operator. He
used to sit in the press box tap
ping out the Morse Code OF the
playby- play action for baseball
editions.
Should McElroy gain control

gang will have a headman after

you the boss is "the worlds
greatest guy, who pays the high

own companys dance band mu-
sic and pays luncheon tabs for
the entire plant at nearby res

McElroy. who is reported to
have $1,500,000 ready to invest
in the Dodgers, was one of a
flock of little McElroys who
scrambled in the public base
ball lots before he took up teleg-
raphy as his life work.

Gentleman Jim Was Cleuerest
of All Heavyweight Champions

the redoubtable bare knuckle
champion.
Jim had received only $4,000
for his memorable 6l-round con-
test with Peter Jackson, May 81,
81, which Referee Hiram Cook
called mo contest, because the
Olympic Club went in the hole
on that fight. 1t was decided to
give Corbett a benefit in the
Grand Opera House.
Sullivan was playing in Hon
est Hearts and Willing Hands"
in S. F. at the time, and was in
vited to appear and spar with
young Jim.
John L., even then past his
peak, agreed but stipulated they
appear in evening clothes. In
that four-round exhibition Cor
bett discovered he could outlook
Sullivan. which he did in their
historic battle a year later.
After being kayoed for the
title by Bob Fitzsimmons' ia
nous solar pleXus punch at Car
son City March II, 81, in ID
rounds, Corbett was the only
heavyweight champion worthy
of the name who twice fought
the champion in trying to regain
the crown. Each time he was
knocked out by Jim Jeffries.
Corbett was handsome, POM
padoured, blue-eyed, quick as
cat. Even in repose he looked
as if he were on his toes.
AS man, Jim had one weak
ness - he was prouder of be-
ing called a gentleman than of
all his ring exploits, tried hard
to live up to the moniker. AS a
fighter, he had one weakness
there was nothing brutal about
him. He delighted in a fight, but
lacked killer instinct. He was
fast physically and mentally, but
slow and d G i b erat c in his
speech.
In and out of the ring he was
always a great actor.
Jim Corbett died at his home
in Bayside, l.. l., Feb. 10, 1898.
Cleverness among heavyWeights
died with him.
