R | s . (By Hal Sheridan) New York as a boxing center is going to be handed a K. 0. wallop in the near future is the plans of Havana promoters don’t fall through. Returning impresarios bring stor- ies of how the natives down there are simply crazy about the glove .game and are willing, yet anxious, to shove their shekles through the box office window with astonishing regularity to see the boys perform. Added to the patronage of the na- tives, they say, is that of a great many American sportsmen who spend their winters there. Be that as it may, it’s a cinch if the promoters there keep offering the kind of money they have started out to, these United States are going to be as barren of pugs as Cleveland is of ball-players. In thie Young Ahearn-Willie Lewis battle a few days ago, the first fistic struggle staged in the new campaign, each received $2,000. If the promo- ters can pay this class of boxers two thousand per each and get away, what, oh what, would they pay a pair of champions or real contenders? Eastern fighters are already begin- ning to prick up their ears. That two thousand noise listens awfully sweet to their battered ears and if the promoters keep it up Cuba is go- ing to be as full of boxers and al- leged boxers as Ban Johnson’s of ex- pletives against the Feds. H. Connolly Pollack, whose chief aim in life seems to be keeping his champion, Freddie Welsh, from get- ting into a decision fight, is out with a new announcement. He says after Welsh and Willie Ritchie settle their little dispute at Madison Square Gar- den, March 11, he is going to send Freddie Welsh against all comers in twenty-round decision battles any- where the promoters will offer enough kale. Promises and announcements to this effect have emanated from Welsh and his manager at regular intervals since the Welshman won his ecrown, but up to date they have managed to sidestep all encounters where there was a chance for the Britisher to drop his title. .LAW WOULD TEND TO AID DEVELOPMENT (Continued from Page 1.) sale and settlement. Then they would inaugurate a campaign of land sell- ing that would bring tens of thou- sands of actual farmers upon this rich, reclaimed land. These settlers would call for all the products of mines, shops, factories and stores, thereby enlarging the business of our people. “The purpose of the bill we are in- troducing, which is the very oppo- site of the old Cole law, is to enable the state to proceed rapidly to con- vert its land into caslf and to make the purchasers rapidly to - change northern Minnesota into the richest, most productive, most healthful, most sought after portion of our most beautiful state.” SCIENCE GIRLS TO ENTERTAIN (Continued from Page 1.) table this: evening, and red candles and shades will be used to add to the attractiveness of the table. Miss Agnes Halland is the supervisor and the members of the class are: Doro- thy Carson, Dorothy Clark, Edith Mills, Lottie McDonald, Martha Lar- son, Mable Johnson, Olga Skinvick, Florence Hayes, Mildred Richardson, Elaine Boyd, Ruth Bentley, Florida Lacombe, Ella Otterstead, Marion Segal Ella Anderson, Margaret Rip- ple, Florence Thatcher, Jeanette Stechman and Myrtle Schmitt. The guests will include the mothers of the girls in the class and their friends, and a group of ten will be entertained at each party. THEY’RE ALL HER BOYS AND WRITE HER REGULARLY Indianapolis, Feb. 18.—Mrs. Emma Ellis received another letter today from one of her boys. She gets let- ters of this kind every day and ans- wers them quickly. The letters are from boys in the navy who have no mothers, and they write to mothers in Indianapolis who have adopted the young bluejackets by mail. The idea came to Mrs. Ellis half | g save the (fg a year ago, but no one mothers, commanding officers in the training camps and the sailors them- selves knew about it until today, fos | 3 Mrs. Ellis did not seek publicity. “I knew how lonesome* motherless boys in the navy must be,” said Mrs. Ellis. “I wrote to several command- ing officers in the navy training stations asking for names of. boys who have no mothers and who would like to correspond. The list has steadily grown. I never choose a mother to write these boys until I have learned to know her personally as ‘a good Christian woman, well educated, who can feel deeply. She must be an accomplished letter writer would be required to go upon it, and fence it, cutivate it, and build a house upon it and reside in that house, in that swamp, for twelve con- secutive months, “Under present conditions, the state does not, and will not, no the neces- sary preliminary development work. Therefore, the state should appraise its lands and offer them for sale in limited or unlimited acreage, to any and all who have the money to buy them. ‘“‘Oh, it may be said, ‘that would mean that the big land speculator would buy up tens of thousands of acres, and then proceed to sell it out at a profit’ That is just what they would do. They would buy large tracts of land, go upon it with pow- erful, expensive machinery, with hundreds of laborers, and they would blow up those millions of stumps sky high, empty through a thousand properly and systematically construc- ted ditches, the tens of millions of barrels of water, burn over the sur- face when dry; and lift the millions of acres of state swamp lands into the richest, most productive and most sought after lands in all of the Mis- sissippi valley from Canada to the Gulf. Would Be Financially Benefited. “In the mean time the state of Minnesota would have its money for these lands. Now, the interest on such money would be far in excess of the yearly increase in the state lands, under present conditions, so that the state would be financially benefited. “The people who bought these lands from the big land companies, would get their lands drained, clear- ed, developed, on a large scale, much more cheaply than poor, struggling, separated individuals could now ob- tain it. Therefore, the actual set- tlers would be benefited. . ‘“Again, the rush upon these fer- tile lands would add tens of thou- sands of people to our northern popu- lation, would help us who now live there, to bear the heavy burden of taxation now laid upon us, that we may have any sort of roads, schools and other necessities and convenien- ces of modern life. Therefore, all of northern Minnesota ~would be greatly benefited by opening up for sale, deyelopment and settlement of the state lands now lying idle, worth- less, useless, untaxed and not in- creasing in value. “Lastly, all of Minnesota, and all of her towns, villages, cities, shops, factories, farms, mines, etc., would benefit by the rapid sale of our state lands, in large quantities to develop- ment companies, because such private concerns would see to it that such lands were speedily put in shape for ADDITIONAL WANT ADS Too Late To Classify FOR SALE—Cash register.

Phone 31, MINTS HIS FROGS, HE GOES BACK T0 WORK St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 18.—Albert Kreuger, the man who carried 14 frogs in his tummy for several weeks, and found that ten of them were alive when ejected, resumed work today, after being off duty for over two weeks to think it over. Kreuger is believed by Dr. C. F.. Johnson of Winthrop, Minn., who vouches for the story, to have taken frog eggs into his stomach while drinking water. The eggs got into the intes- tines, where the digestive juice is less severe and there they hatched. They made their way back into the man’s stomach, where they created irritations that produced violent pains and nausea, which almost R S ) Ever, as a boy, tie a can to a dog’s tail and see him scoot?
