that amounted to a stranglehold; that he had practically all the champions and stars tied up with agreements to fight solely under his promotion. and that he exacteo baksheeSh for permitting them to fight for outside interests. This was all true, for Jacobs was a money-making man, and didn't care to what end he had to go for il, or how hard he had to work.
 Since taking over the Garden for boxing in October. 1887. Jacobs staged fights that drew more than S6, 100000.

Jacobs Wouldn't Quit Promoting Wi

from his office for month. En- countering him in the Garden. Nat Fleischer. editor of The Ring and a close friend. remonstrated with Jacobs for coming out.
 You're killing yourself" said Fleischer. Why don't you retire? You don't have to do this"
 rive got s4.000 00O.' replied Jacobs, but l simply cant quit. It's in my blood. This fight is a Sellout, and I simply couldn't stay away" And the former ticket speculator with ill-fitting false teeth clicking, shrewd eyes darting here and there, walked jerkily down the atsles. giv- ing instructions out of the side Of his mouth to ushers and other em- ployees. mentally counting the house.
 Having grown up in the ticket speculating business, Jacobs knew the value of the pasteboards and how to sell them.
 Tex Richard said Jacobs could add e1O0, 900 to a big gate by direct ing traffic outside the arena, guid- ing patrons to the priced seats they wanted.
 When things weren't ss good as they have been since the outbreak of World War II, Jacobs used tc tell his employees: Keep hustling If the bucks aren't there, go after the nickels and dimes"
 Jacobs always had two complete sets of tickets printed. When things were on the tough side at the Garden. and the higher priced seats weren't moving, the promoter himself would go out in the foyer. and shout: Come on, you guys what priced tickets do you want?" and he would personally guide them 10 where they could be had. He called this going out with a shovel.
 For nine years the one-man dy- nasty created and ruled by Jacobs was the bane of rival promoters and disgrunteled managers who com- plained that he had a monopoly

DID is a chemical recommended
for the treating of soil in gardens
and orchards for nematodes and
fungus in the soil. do not confuse
DID with DDT). If your garden is
contaminated with fungus diseases
which cause tomatoes, cabbage,
squash and various other garden
plants to wilt or blight, your soil
can be safely treated to kill these
organisms and make your garden
free of such diseases. I'D is a BIZ
product from the Shell Chemical
Division of Shell Oil Company. The
method of application is as
follows.
First, prepare soil for the garden
planting, preferably work level and
free from grass and weeds. The soil
should be moderately loose and with
normal soil moisture, not too wet or
too dry. 1t is very important to have
soil in good workable condition and
with suitable moisture before treat
ing with DID. Apply DID equivalent
to one teaspoon for 6 inch depth 10
to 1S inch spacings n the garden.
Applications should not exceed 10
inches spaced equally over your
garden. Be certain to fill the holes
with dirt Immediately after apply
ing DID. Following the applications
of DID, the soil should be undisturb-
ed for two weeks, then is can be
reworked and prepared for seding
or transplanting. Allow a few days
to elapse following final preparation
of soil before seeding and thans-
planting. Do not use soil fumigants
within 80 inches of living plants as
this material is toxic to plants.
If interested in the use OF this
material, contact your County Agent
and he will be able to inform you
as to the source of securing DID.

Letter To Editor
THE ANGEBILT
Orlando, Florida

November /, 1916
Dear Miss Brannon:
What a pleasure it is to learn
(from Newsweek, November A.
that there is ONE person in Mississ-
ippi not in sympathy with the Hit
lerian treatment of negros there.
The only Mississippian l ever met
was the wife of an F. B. |. man in
New York and she had the brains
of a rabbit, so perhaps / am prejud-
iced against all Mississippi whites
other than yourself as they are
against negros. But certainly the
stories that come from your state
make even a damn yankees" blood
run cold.
Yesterday the local paper
here reported that Mississippi State
was unhappy about their game with
the University of Nevada because
two stars on the Nevada team are
negroes. Combined with the McAtee
story, this suggests that Mississippi
ans other than yourself never heard
of Christ, nor of His, "Inasmuch as
We have done it unto the least of
these my brethren, we have done it
unto me-" Are they all pagans or
little Hitlers or what?
More power to you and those
who feel as you do.
Sincerely yours,
ROSE PHELPS

ntse tea room.

orful tables and even growing
grass can be found on the roof

the garden are rooms, a music
studio, tailor shop, painting studio
craft shop and dark rooms for
photography.
The first floors of the club are
filled with the activities for the

Jauanese civilian personnel en-
ployed by the club. Through the
