A crushing right swing from the fist of the American fighter shattered the titular aspirations of Georges Carpentier in the fourth round of the so-called "battle of the century” at Jersey City Saturday afternoon. The pile-driving blow landed flush upon the jaw of the Frenchman, flooring him for the second time in a trifle more than a minute of fighting in the final decisive round. Although he had staggered to his feet after the initial knockdown, he was unable to survive the second knockdown and was motionless as Referee Harry Ertle tolled off the fatal ten counts. Although the knockout punch was driven to Carpentier’s jaw, the way to Dempsey’s victory had been paved by a continual bombardment of blows which landed on every section of the Frenchman’s body. Each swing jab and uppercut, scored to the stomach. Ribs or sides, contributed to the sewing up process of the speedy Carpentier. In addition, a clubbing right which landed flush on the back of Georges' neck in the third round, played an important part in his defeat. The Frenchman folded over in an attempt to protect his body, left the back of his neck exposed, and Dempsey, with the fair target in front of him, drove down a terrific slam to Carpentier's verdict. After the knockout, the Frenchman stated in his dressing room that this game was the cause of his pugilistic success. James J.

He said that the punch stung his entire physical and mental makeup and thereafter he was unable to carry on any effective attack. Regardless of just which blow caused the vanquishing of Carpentier, the Frenchman gave a remarkable exhibition of pugilistic skill and gameness against a heavier and more punishing opponent. The favorite, when he entered the ring, judging from the amount of cheering he received, he left the arena with even a greater amount of applause ringing in his ears, a tribute to an exhibition which in every way verified and upheld a record which had preceded him regarding his boxing ability and danger-defying work during the war. Dempsey as the winner ran true to his fighting form. Although Carpentier struck the first blow of the encounter, a flying right to the face, Dempsey never at any time backed up or showed a disinclination to avoid trading blows with his opponent. While the champion bored in at every opportunity, he devoted as much of his attention as was possible to close infighting. Kights and lefts were steadily driven home to Carpentier’s body, alternated at times by drives, jabs, hooks and cuffs to the Frenchman’s face, jaw and head. For the first round Carpentier did not appear to feel the effects of this punishment. He fought in and out at close quarters, using chiefly a right swing or drive to Dempsey's face and jaw with an occasional shift of the left to the body. Most of the body blows Dempsey blocked or partly checked with plows and forearms, but he was not able to protect his face as well. Time and again Georges shot over his right to Dempsey’s face and in the second round, when he turned loose. A FRIEND of mine. WHO C OULDN'T speak. A WORD of French. WENT TO Paris. AND THE first time.

AUDUBON, IOWA, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1921 the heaviest batteries of his blows, it appeared as though the champion might be forced to assume a defensive attitude. The pause in Dempsey’s attack, however, was due more to surprise and fluster at the savage ness of his opponent's rally. After a few seconds of indecision he gathered himself together again and although the round was undoubtedly Carpentier’s on aggressiveness and clean blows landed there was not the slightest evidence that Dempsey had been hurt by Carpentier’s punches. He shot out of his corner at the bell for the third round with every evidence of an intention to finish the battle. With a menacing scowl on his dark features, he followed Carpentier about the ring as the latter sidestepped and ducked the lungs, in an endeavor to corner the challenger. Crouching low and with body and fists swinging from side to side he crept after Carpentier until he caught him on the ropes near a neutral corner and then began the battering which pressed the end. There was little question in the minds of the most expert among the spectators as to the ultimate outcome. Carpentier, with his speed of foot gone, confidence shattered, blood running from his nose and mouth, and a gash over his cheekbone, looked like a hunted animal. NO FRUIT IN IOWA This is evidently not a fruit year in Iowa. Reports show that the fruit, particularly apples, has had many adversaries this season. First it was the frosts and freezes which came along in April. These cut short a big percent of the apple crop. Then along came the bugs, which are still on the job, and now the June drop, many of the apples which apparently weathered the freeze, falling off as soon as they start to develop. "Codding moth, worms and other insects, with the exception of curculio, appear to be more numerous than ordinarily," reports Secretary Herrick in his July report. "In orchards which are not sprayed well, a larger percentage of fruit is apt to be infected because of the small amount of fruit." Winter apples promise only about 18 percent of a full crop, summer apples 24 percent and fall apples 25 percent. Grapes promise 78 percent, black raspberries 68 percent, red raspberries 71 percent, blackberries 78 percent, gooseberries 31 percent, currants 32 percent. The final estimate on strawberries places the yield at 45 percent and cherries at 5 percent. With only a small crop of apples to work on, the insects are likely to play havoc with the apple crop unless spraying is practiced. Isle of Pines. The Isle of Pines is situated off the south coast of Cuba, its nearest point to Cuba being about 35 miles distant. It is 370 miles northeast of the British Island of Jamaica. The area of the Isle of Pines is 614 1-3 square miles, or about 521-381 acres. It belongs to the republic of Cuba and is officially attached to the province of Havana. The chief place on the Island is Neuva Gerona. The island was discovered by Columbus in 1494, and was long notorious as a resort of pirates, but that of course, was long ago. Its population is about 3,000. The climate is similar to that of Cuba, that is, tropical. HE'D BE polite. SO HE gave the barber. AN AMERICAN cigarette. WHICH THE barber smoked. AND MY friend pointed.

NAY GRANT MORE TIME TO NATIONS FOREIGN NATIONS OWE UNITED STATES GREAT SUMS IN PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. "Yes, you read something about that a long time ago and I..." We talked about the lot of money owed the United States by foreign countries. WHY don’t they pay up? It was Jack talking to a bunch of his schoolmates who were gathered under a big tree trying to keep cool away from the beating rays of the noon-day sun. "It is easy enough," spoke up Uncle Ted who had been cutting the grass, "It is easy enough, I say, to talk about all this money and what we think ought to be done but we really have no right to unless we study the situation a little and learn the truth." "Tell us something about it, Uncle Ted," said Ruth. "Anyway, you ought to rest from that heat." "All right, Ruth, I’ll rest from the heat, but of course I mustn’t rest too much — at least I must tell a story. You are a tease, Ruth. I think the best way is to tell you what President Harding did the other day about this matter. He received a letter from the Secretary of Treasury on the subject and after going into it carefully sent a copy to Senator Penrose, chairman of the Committee on Finance of the United States Senate, together with a letter of his own. In his letter, President Harding stated that Secretary Mellon had asked for broader powers to deal with the situation so that he could arrange for the refunding or conversion or extension of the time of payment of the principal and interest on these obligations, and the adjustment of other claims of the United States against foreign governments." "In Secretary Mellon’s letter to the President the first thing he stated was the amount of money due the United States by foreign governments on account of the European war." Children, that total amount is $10,141,267,585.68! Just think of it? That money was loaned in this way: $9,435,225,329.24 was advanced to these countries under the various Liberty Loan acts. That is the money raised by you and everybody buying Liberty Bonds. $84,093,963.55 totals the obligations received from the American Relief Administration. The amounts due from the sale of surplus war materials to Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Latvia, France, Lithuania, Romania, Poland, Russia and the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes total $565,048,413.80 and for grain sent by the United States Grain Corporation to Armenia, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland, the debt is $56,899,879.09. “Now, kiddies, you see the money owed on the various classes of debts is due largely from the same countries. When Secretary Mellon went into the matter, he found, as he states: “This Department is without authority to consent to any extension of the time for the payment of the principal or of the interest of these obligations or to proceed with the refunding.” Later on in his letter, he said: “In some cases, the debtor nations owe large amounts to other countries as well as to the United States, and it may be advisable, and in some cases indeed necessary to consider comprehensively the entire debt of such countries financial condition and resources, so as to work out a refunding plan reasonably within the ability of such countries to carry out.” You see, Secretary Mellon is not going into this matter as a man who is sorry for these countries, who feels we should say ‘Oh! it's all right, we’ll forget it.’ Neither is he going to say, ‘You MUST pay at once,’ without looking into the future to see what the result will be. He is looking at it as a successful businessman and banker—a man who has always handled money matters with success.” “Doesn’t he say just what he wants?” asked Jack. “Indeed, he has said that. With his letter to the President, he sent a draft of an act to Congress which he wants to have passed and which the President sent along to the Senate committee with his letter. The act is short so I think I will read it to you: “ ‘Be it enacted (etc.) that the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the President, is hereby authorized from time to time to refund or convert, and to extend the time of payment of the principal and interest or both, of, any obligation of any foreign government now owing to the United States, or any obligation of any foreign government hereafter received by the United States of America arising out of the European war, into bonds or other obligations of such, or any other foreign government and from time to time to receive bonds and obligations of any foreign government in substitution for those now and hereafter held by the United States, in such form and of such terms, conditions, date or date or date or rates of interest, and with such security, if any, as shall be deemed for the best interests of the United States, and to adjust and settle any and all claims, not now represented by bonds or obligations, which the United States of America now has or hereafter may have against any foreign government and to accept securities therefor.’ "As President Harding said in his letter, if Congress will promptly sanction such a grant of authority, the Secretary of the Treasury may proceed to the prompt exercise of the powers granted to him, and we reasonably may expect a satisfactory handling of the obligations due and the claims of our Government which are awaiting settlement. Congress may very likely add some limitations to the act before passing it, but the steps will undoubtedly be taken to get our financial relations with the Allies on a more definite and satisfactory basis. HOPE TO EQUALIZE LAND TAXES Representatives of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation will meet with the Executive Council in July when that body will sit as a board of equalization of land values for purposes of taxation. In order to have accurate working information for the occasion, the Federation is conducting a careful, statewide survey to determine present values as compared with those of two years ago when speculation was rampant and prices seeking new levels every day. Some of the older counties of the state were not so upset by the late land boom. Values remained fairly conservative, with taxes in proportion. But in most counties, prices soared to the skies, and now, with a marked reaction in progress, leaving taxes based upon the maximum figures reached, the problem has become distressing. The Federation officials realize perfectly that an equitable apportionment and distribution, one of the “burned up” CHAUTAUQUA Broadway "Broadway Jones" has taken the town by storm.—N. Y.

This information the Federation proposes to furnish. When completed, the survey will show land values by counties, both in 1919 and 1921; it will show whether the inflation experienced two years ago has been discounted and to what extent; it will show the percentage of bankruptcies resulting from the boom, the proportion of cases where owners have been compelled to take back farms that could not be paid for, and much other information of a similar nature. JOHNNY JONES AT DEDHAM Johnny Jones again made the acquaintance of Mayor S. H. Johnston Sunday night. A special session of police court was the occasion of the meeting. The police had been watching Jones and his actions for weeks and at two or three different times have raided his place, thinking that they might be able to cope with the situation. To unearth a quantity of corn whiskey, which it was suspected he had for sale. Each time the fellow must have been tipped off, for the raids were without result. On Saturday, information came to the officers by the underground route that Jones was mixed up with liquor again and a raid was planned. Meanwhile, Jones took a car and lit out for Dedham. About this time, the officers were ready to hunt Jones up. Then, his wife secured advance information that they were looking for him. She took a car and started for Dedham, intending to tell Johnny the officers were on his trail and to straighten up. When she got to Dedham, Johnny's wife had the shock of her life. There was Johnny, but he was chasing around with another woman. Without saying a word, she came back and swore out information against him. He was finally arrested and brought before the mayor in a semi-drunken condition at nine-thirty Sunday night. The mayor intended to give him 30 days for drunkenness, but Jones pleaded that he had to appear Monday before the Federal Court at Fort Dodge for violation of liquor laws. As he thought Jones would probably get thirty days or more from the Federal authorities, the mayor released him. The wife was still hostile toward her husband. At first, she was afraid the officers would get him, but after her Dedham trip, she was afraid they wouldn't get him. Mrs. Jones had signed her husband's bond when he got involved in a bootlegging deal in the spring, and now, it is said, threatens to withdraw. Maybe, before Johnny gets through, he will wish his wife hadn't seen him in Dedham with that other woman Sunday.—Carroll Herald. The story of Lalla Lookh in short is this She was the supposed daughter of Aurungzbee, emperor of Delhi. She was betrothed to Auris, sultan of Lesser Bucharia. On her journey from Delhi to Cashmere she was entertained by Feramon, a young Persian poet, with whom she fell in love, and unbounded was her delight when she discovered that the young poet was the sultan to whom she was betrothed. The story is beautifully told by the Irish poet, Tom Moore.
