The:‘clever Crosby fighter proved to bé'far above Tardy’s class and after the“first hit, Tardy was dreaming E t dreams and it was only a mat- ‘tek-of time: and ‘a few more: well placéd hits before Tardy took the count of ten. In consenting to fight Young, it is rather doubtful whether Tardy dis- played an unusual gift of nerve or ‘whether he displayed an unusual lack of sound judgment. The least. that|pared, ana has can be said is that Tardy is mighty lucky to get away with it as well as he did.for it was very evident that -Young still had something in reserve. Tardy, at first glance, could be seen to be out of condition to fight an artist like Young, and it is doubtful if he would be any match for Young even if he were in the best of condi- tion. Young has a poise, a delivery,; : action and -a punch which will win - him !flvor wherever he appears in the ring. Johnson Shades Raymond. Contestants in the semi-windup proved to be .very evenly matched and the five scheduled rounds were <ompleted with only a slight shade decision in. fayor of Johnson. The first round proved very close and was recorded as a draw. The seeond, third and fourth rounds went to Johnson by a margin. In the fifth Raymond came back strong and for a- time it appeared that he was go- ing to best Johnson, who later turned the tables on Raymond -and landed -several good blows which caused him to take a count of eight. Time and again throughout the bout “Pete” had Raymond .in -a- bad way but in- stead of following him up when he had him under ‘cover by the ropes, he brought him® back to the center of the ring. Johnson was able to land several gaod hard haymakers through Ray- mond’s defense and . succeeded in winning the press decision. Raymond ‘displayed good science but his blows lacked effectiveness, appearing to add to Johnson’s enjoyment. This bout \was well enjoyed throughout and was one of the two instances in iwhich ‘the contestants were well mated. Tibbits Knocke Out Reed. Thomas Tibbetts, K-L Pleasure * club boxer and champion of his class in four divisions of overseas troops, scored a technical knockout over Archie Reed in one minute and five seconds after the first gong in the first round of a scheduled four three- minute round bout. Reed started off well but only for a few seconds was he any match for Tibbetts, who sur- prised even his close friends and fol- lowers by showing remarkable speed and science. Tibbetts pushed through a heavy one that brought back re- turns and Reed started to take the count, then changed his mind about getting on his feet again and decided . to “sit it out” on the ropes, thereby taking a technical knockout. Back- ers of Reed were somewhat disap- pointed to see him get bluffed out by Tibbetts and not stick to the scrap as long as possible. g First Preliminary Close. With both contestants practically “all in’ ’at the end of the three- round preliminary, Chub Frost won over Harry Peterson by a slight shade in each of the rounds. The match w8+ good throughout and displayed fine work for the lads. Peterson was inclined to place all his confidence in _,%hlymgket style, .but failed to “any which ‘took ‘much- efféet on Frost. Frost displayed good science 2nd aggressiveness at all times. Each went down once in the second round — 0, %, Ve N %Y G. W.

The picture, together with the lecture promfsés to furnish an educational extertafnment for the business men gné clerks of this city and for that ‘reason .the showing of the film has been secured. The retail merchandising lecture, which has been preparéd by the Na- tional Cash Register company is de- clared-to be one of ;the most com- prehensive lectures.on’ the reasons for retail business fiilures ever pre- b%en ‘shiown: before commercial: bodies,Z¢onventions, and other orgn‘nintlons_the country over. By means &( stereopticon slides, the lecture d&ls with the value of newspaper advertising to. the merch- ant, tells him how to prepare adver- tisements, and also explains in de- tail the best metholis of window dis- play, how to solve Ygliyery problems, perfect a store organization, and oth- er interesting ideass iy, - ““The feature film, *“Troubles of a Merchant, and How to Stop Them,” which will be shown for the first time in this city, was prepared by the Iy Essanay company for the Natiomal Cash Register organization at a cost of $30,000. Expert actors were em- ployed for every character, and it is said that every scene contains a les- son fon retail merchants and .heir salespeople. i The film tells the story of Mr. White, a grocer, who was discouraged and disheartened because of his lack of success. The story shows the in- difference of his clerks, his bad store system, his poorly arranged stock, and other causes of his troubles. How he finally rose to success and prosper- ity through the introduction of mod- ern methods into. his store will be shown in the film. : Many ideas of importance t merchants and clerks will be brought out during the lecture. In other com- munities where it has béen shown, it has met with great enthusiasm. It is expected that every business man and clerk in the city will avail him- self of the opportunity offered by the lecture, and that a large attendance will result. No charge will be made for admission. MEXICAN TROOPS RIOT REBELS. (By United Press.) Mexico City, May 4 (By Ralph Turner). — Government forces have routed rebels in battlc on Temuan- tepec, in the region of Salina Cruz, killing the rebel commander and sixty troops, it was announced offi- cially. Carranza troops also forced rebels to evacuate in Morelos state, according to a statement made. Other engagements of minor importance in various parts of the country were reported. but in addition to this Frost knocked Peterson to the ropes once, winning the round by a slight shade. With better wind, both contestants would promise an exceptionally interesting preliminary for any exhibjtion. Legion Thanks Supporters. Ralph Gracie post of the American Legion, under which the exhibition was staged last night, wishes to thank those who were in attendance for the support which was given in this un- dertaking. The show was staged at a heavy expense to the local post and a financial loss resulted from the lack :ef zn;pgor:.h TMIB md‘j'l“ the first at- mpt by the Bemidji post to put on such a match and only those who have had experience in arranging athletic e;dxibit{opl can realize the amount ‘of work: required to stage a boxing exhibition;'and to secure con- testants who are evenly ngueehed. w7 BEMIDJI,"MINN., TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1920 PREPARATION BEING MADE AT SCHOOL FARM FOR HATCHING CHICKS Pupils Showing Keen Interest in Both Practical and Class Room Studies At the Bemidji school farm prep- arations are being made to care .for a large hatching of chicks which is due on Thursday. Four Cyphers in- cubators are being operated in the incubator cellar which is so arranged as to insure proper heat and ventil- ation. Two of the incubators have a 400-egg capacity and the other two| have a capacity of 250 each, making a total of 1,300 eggs which are being taken care of there at one time. This will be the second hatching this spring and from all present appear-~ ances should be a large one. Three of these incubators are due to become “mothers” of a large bunch of baby chicks about Thursday of this week. In addition to the hens eggs which are under incubation, there are approximately 50 goose eggs in four settings being mothered by two geese and two hens. More goose eggs will be put in incubation later, ac- cording to the plans of Harry J. Olin, Agricultural instructor -in the Be- midji public schools under whose su- pervision the chicken hatching is be- ing conducted. The present poultry flock on the farm consists of over 100 single comb White Leghorns, about 30 Ply- mouth Rocks, nine geese and about 60 baby chicks which were kept for the farm from the first hatch of the year. Through the instruction given by Mr. Olin to the students of agricul- ture, they are becoming to know the essential points of successful poultry hatching and raising. Practical ex- perience as well as class room work is accomplishing this result. Stu- dents are taking great interest in the work and many have eggs under in- cubation which they are caring for themselves. COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION HOLDS Belle Granted, Several Bids The county board of education met at the Court House on Monday with all members present and disposed of several business matters which had been brought to its attention recent- An application for a echool house at Belle was granted and the clerk of the HHAPE was instructed to mo- tify the pPeople there that not more than $300 was to be expended by the county ‘board on the new building and that as far as possible lumber for the building be purchased at the Hal- vorson mill. ‘ Bids for transportating pupils to school No. 44 from Clear river and from school No. 43 to organized dist- rict No. 25 were laid over for further investigation. The bid from R. A. Ferrier to furn- ish lumber for the school No. 24 was accepted at $77.75, the lumber to be delivered at the school house accord- ing to the terms of the bid. In ad- dition to these matters several minor business propositions were discussed. TORNADO CAUSES BIG DAMAGE AND LOSS OF LIVES IN OKLAHOMA Oklahoma Suffers From Loss of Life and Injury Through Severe Storm (By United Press) Muskogee, Okla., May 4.—Fifty- one persons were killed and more than 100 injured by a tornado which swept away the little town of Peggs, in Cherokee county, Sunday night, according to reports sent here by re- liet workers. Many of the injured are seriously hurt, it is reported. Only three houses were left stand- ing. - The first train load of injured numbering between 30 and 40, reach- ed Muskogee early last night. Wire communication with the storm swept area was impossible yesterday. Four persons were killed and seven injur- ed in the tornado which swept parts of Rogers and Craig counties Sunday evening. The storm struck just west of Chel- sea and moved northeast, advancing about five miles before it rose. Its path was about & city block wide and it swept through southwestern Okla- homa. 0DD FELLOWS MEET TONIGHT IN METHODIST CRURCH Remember Odd Fellows meeting at Methodist church at 8 p. m. tonight. The Public is invited to attend. J.O. Urntz will speak. Music numbers will be furnished. Yo HOME STUDY One of the many reasons why we need more room in our schools: Our sewing class has enrolled twenty-seven students. Under ideal circumstances each stu- dent should have not less than thirty-one square feet in which to perfirm their work. Under the present conditions there are eighleen square feet al- lowed each student. The stu- dents taking this work make a complete, set of under gar- ments, two wash dresses, one middy blouse and one skirt. They are taught the methods of cleaning and taking care of their clothes. This work is . seriously handicapped by the close quarters they are com- pelled to work in. They have no way of exhibiting their work, unless same is taken from the department in which they work. _In the cooking department, which is under the same in- structor as the sewing class, the classes are taught the principal essentials of food, the proper methods of preparing and serv- ingrfood, canning, invalid cook- ery, household management and the general management of a home. In this department there skould be a dining room well furnished, a model kitchen and wel! aquipped sewing room. The coovking room or kitchen of the public school, should be the model kitchen of this city. CONCERT COMPANY GIVES EXCELLENT - MUSICAL PROGRAM h;t Number ;l-._yceum Course Given by High School of High Quality A fair attendance gave hearty sup- port fo the International Concert Quartette, who appeared at the Meth- odist church last evening, under the suspices of the High school in the 1ast npmber on their Lyceum course. Thié" Was, without doubt, the best of the five numbers. The personnel of the troupe included, Oswald Olson, basso; Peter D. Tkach, baritone; El- mer Aamodt, pisnist; Ted Kline, temor, and Hardesty Johnson, tenor soloist. All the performers showed exceptional talent, thorough training and experience. The numbers, all musical, consisted of quartette, duet and solo arrangement, and selections of opera, some of the favored classical songs, and some very good popular songs. The pianist also displayed splendid training. The High school are to be congratulated on the kind of..entertainment they were instru- mentalin bringing to Bemidji during the season. I SEVERAL SAW MILLS OPERATING ON SLIGHTLY REDUCED PAY ROLL Virginia Mil]s Are Running On About Ten Per Cent Reduction in Force The strike among the timberwork- ers in the mills of northern Minneosta Wisconrsin and Michigan was called yesterday and a number of mills are shut down today as a consequence.

ROOMS NEEDED FOR. - SUMMER SCHOOL PUPILS A year ago at this time a special canvas of the city was made to se- cure suitable accomodations for Nor- mal school students. Considerable difficulty was experienced in obtain- ing sufficient rooms for all the stu- dents throughout the summer. The summer term will soon be opened again and it is expected that a much larger number of students will be in attendance this summer than attended last summer’s session. The new dormitory will take care of about fifty students as far as rooms are concerned 'and about ninety boarders. In asihuch as there will be about one hundred and fifty or sixty students at least, it will be seen that there will be as many or more need- ing private accomodations as there was last year. M. W. Deputy, president of the school, has issued a notice in this con- nection which is as follows: A larger enrollment than last year is expected for the summer term at the State Normal school. Already many requests for rooms in private families are on file. Those desiring to let rooms to students during the summer beginning June 14th, should notify the Normal school office by let- ter or telephone 249. M. W. Deputy, President.

Democratic leader Under- wood let it be known that all plans for a democratic filibuster against the Knox resolution have bgag ealled off on advice from the whm& ouse. In view of this new attitude adoption of Knox resolution seemed likely when it comes up in the senate to- orrow. President Wilson is ready to in- stantly veto the measure and take the opportunity of presenting the issue to the country, the treaty Knox resolution. This manuever started considerable specu- lation as to its effect on the Knox boom for, the republican presidential nomination. With his peace resolu- tion as chief issue in the campaign, Knox himself would be the E\an to head the ticket, friends be- eve. 2 ] SCISSORS GRINDER TRAVELS IN AUTO - 1Y (By International News Service.) Delaware, 0., May 4.—Time was when the presence of the man, push- ing his cart or bearing a big pack on his back and ringing a bell, was one of the signs of the arrival of spring. He was the old-time scissors grin- der. For a dime he would sharpen most anything. Now, the scissors grinder—or & portion of this branch of industrial workers—travels in autos. The new-fashioned scissors grind- er's auto is equipped with cooking utensils and sleeping quarters. The approach of the old-fashioned predecessor was oftimes marked by wonderment ag to whether he was married and, if so, where his wife and kiddies lived. a No need for such mental question- ing now.
