New York, - Dec. 28.—Few new kings were crowned during the most eventful year of sport just coming to/| a-close. | ‘Champions came and_ champions | went, but most of the old tinjers like | Willie Hoppe survived the rush of an-| other year and retained their places on the throne. | The list of 1920 “bests’” includes: | Boxers—Heavyweight, Jack Demp-!

Georges Carpentier won the light heavyweight title by knocking out ‘Battling Levinsky, and Mike O'Dowd lost his crown to Johnny Wilson on a decision. Joe Lynch annexed the bantamweight championship by out- pointing Pete Herman. The mooted question of the heavy- weight wrestling champion was set- tled when Joe Stecher threw Earl Caddock in a bout accepted as a world’s title affair and was himself | reaten by “‘Strangler” Lewis in New | York the night of December 13. Willlam M. Johnston lost his ten- nis championship to whlliam™T. Til- den, who also annexed the British court championghip. S. Davidson Herron also failed to hold the ama- teur golf champlonship, which was won by Chick Evans. Ted Ray, the British star, took the American open title from Walter Hagen, to hold the amateur golf championship who went down. He lost the title in skating to Oscar Mattieson, the Norwegian. After being missing from the top circle for some time, Ernest Barry, the British pro-sculler, returned to the select circles by beating Felton for the championship. By Resolute’s victory over Sham- rock IV, America retained the cham- pionship of the seas, and the Olympic championship was again annexed by the Yankees. Chick Evans.

As these musicians must be back in Bemidji at 2:30 o'clock, it will be necessary to have dinner over at 12:30, at which time the concert will begin.

Little Marjorie Peterson as “Peg”,| showed talent and faithful work in preparation. Mafie Boyer, as an overworked housewife, Helen Davis as her spoiled daughter, Gladys War-| ner as a love-sick gld maid and Mamie Van Poll, a reporter, were major| characters in the play and c:lrried: their parts well. There were many| minor parts equally well done. The| Indian make-up was especially attrac- tive. Miss Young of the Grammar| department coached the play and the| “between acts” were under the direc- tion of Miss Mead and Mrs. Volk- man. The whole entertainment car- ried throughout the sacred Christmas spirit in its deepest, truest sense. | After the play candy, apples and| gifts were distributed and the men’s| lunch baskets were sold, the ladies' doing the bidding.

Why waste time and | money on cows that do not pay for | thelr keep?—W. E. Spangler, Colorado | Agricultural College, Fort Coilins, Colo. SALT ESSENTIAL IN RATION Material May Be Supplied by Mixing|! With Feed, or It May Be Left,in Convenient Box. A Practlcal observations and scientific | investigations have shown that salt | is essential in the ration of a dalry | cow. From one to three ounces per day is needed, depending upon the amount of milk produced. Accord- ing to Babcock's investigations at the Wisconsin experiment station, a cow needs one ource per day per 1,000 pounds live weight with an gdditional 6-10 of an ounce for each 20 pounds of milk produced. Salt may be sup- plicd by mixing the proper amount with the feed, or It may be placed in some convenient place where the cow can get at it daily and take such amounts as her appetite demands. Many dairymen prefer to place a lump of rock salt where the cow can lick it at will. This Is really cheaper and there is less work. But, however you feed it, don't forget that the cows | must have It—not once every week | or two, but at least each second day | and each day is/etter. P —— FEEDING COWS SAWDUST The facetlous statement, re- peated in a joking way, “Put | green goggles on the cows and fool them by feeding sawdust and shavings,” Is apparently not going to be necessary in future | to feed them that product. Tt || | has been found by experiment || | that sawdust from non-resinous soft woods can be used, but it first must undergo a process of treatment with certain acids, which change a part of the dry matter, into carbohydrates. How- over, the low protein content of sawdugt as a feed would not augur well for its future use.

Antiquity of Peat. The use of peat as a source of heat goes back beyond the historieal period in the ancient history of the early tribes In northern Germany. Pliny, the Roman naturalist, gives us possibly | the first indication of the use of peat. e reports that the Teutons on the border of the north sea dried and burned mud, what we now would call peat. sin, In Ireland, Great Britain, Ru Seandinavia, Germany, Holland, jand parts of France peat has heen used as a fuel since time immemorial. The peat was cut from the hog very much in the same manner as it is still being done in many parts of Eu- rope, where it is cut in brick shapes, allowed to dry in the wind and sun. Talent Served Him Well. A story Is told that in the time of Frederick the Great there was a sol- dier who played the jewsharp so well that his fame spread. When on guard one day he was asked by Frederick to go to the palace to play for him, | the soldier refusing, as he would be punished if he left his post. How- ever, when he at last played at the ' palace the king was so pleased that | he gave the soldier honorable dis- charge from military service. | ADDITIONAL WANT ADS “ LOST—Black purse containing about $56 in bills, $2.50 in silver and a ‘fh“ki plants, which it has washed out of | 1 ‘Great Northern marked Greenbush. leave at Pioneer office. 3t 120-3 LOST—Left hand grey suede glove. suitcase MARKETS lll Must Have Shown to Readers the | Finder please LITTLE STORY CARRIED STING Neglected Industrial Possibilities 9f the South. D. A. Tompkins, the father of the cotton-oil industry, who built his for- tune on his Inextinguishable faith in the industrial possibilities of the South, was fond of quoting this little | story about a Georgia funeral, says his | biographer, Dr. George Tayloe Win- | ston, in “A Builder of the New | South.” i } “I attended a funeral once in Pick- ens county, Georgia. It was a poor, ‘one-gallus’ fellow. They buried him | In the midst of a marble quarry; they | cut through solid marble to make his grave, and yet a little tombstone they put above him was from Vermont. They buried him in the heart of a | pine forest, and the pine coffin was Imported from Cincipnati. They bur- ied him Wwithin touch of an iron mine, and yet the nails of his coffin and the iron in the shovel that dug his grave were imported from Pitts- burgh. They buried him by the side of the best sheep-grazing country on earth, and yet the wool in the coffin bands and the coflin bands themselves were imported from the North. The South did not furnish a thing on earth for that funeral but the corpse and | the hole in the ground. There they | put him away and the clods rattled down‘on his coffin and they buried him in a New York coat and a Boston pair '; of shoes and a pair of breeches from | Chicago and a shirt from Cincinnatl, leaving him nothing to carry into the next world with him to remind him | of the country in which he lived and for which he fought four years but the chill blood in his veins and the | marrow in his bone: | Mt. Washington 6,293 Feet High. | Many persons believe tliat Mount | Washington, in New Hampshire, is the | highest mountain in the eastern part ) | of the United States. Mount Wash- | ington stands 6,203 feet above sea | | level, according to the United States | | geological survey, department of the | | interior, but many peaks in tha.south- ! | ern Appalachians are several hundred | | feet higher than New Hampshire's | famous mountain. The highest moun- tain in the Appalachian system—the ‘ highest point in the United States east of the Rockies—is Mount Mitchell, in North Carolina, which stands at an | elevation of 6,711 feet. The highest mountain In Tennessee, Mount Guyot, stands 6,636 feet above sea level. Best Sprinkler. { Many persons must have noticed | hat the most diligent sprinkling of | awns and flowerbeds fails to impart | o the grass and plants a vital stimu- | us equal to that that comes from a | tood shower of rain. | | It is because rain, falling from a , | great height through the air, brings | | with it a considerable quantlty of car- | 1honlc acid, of nit2ogenous particles, | and of other elements nutritious to ' 1 ‘ i | i the atmosphere. So a sprinkler used | | from the top of a tall building might e slightly more effective than when IDEA WOULD PLEASE DICKENS | First Free Children’s Library in Eng. | land to Be Opened in Old Home of Novelist. There is to be opened Soon the first free library for children in England in | @ building fn which that lover of chil- dren, Charles Dickens, spent several | eventful 'years of his own childhood. It is an idea so appropriate and fitting that all supporters of the scheme must wish for fts success, remarks the Christian“Science Monitor. The house in question is 33 Johnson street, Som- ers town, and the Dickens family lived here after they left Chatham, being tenants of the house for five years. From this house Dickens, the father, was taken to the Debtors’ prison, the Marshalsea, an incident- which after- ward supplied his son with “copy” for two of his most famous books. “The Pickwick Papers” and “Little Dorrit.” Dickens is a striking example of how much can be accomplished by a case of real genius under adverse condi- tions, and it is he himself in “David’ Coppertield,” who tells us what help and enlightenment he got in his wretched .surroundings from the few books which made up his father’s tiny library. Though small, that library was a rich treasure trove to a clever child. Don Quixote and Gil Blas— each of these masterpieces is com- posed of many. stories—and from Fielding, Smollett, Goldsmith and De- foe, Dickens must have learned the | music of words, and the grace and dig- nity of a tale of life well told. If his old house now becomes the home of a free library for children who, like him, may have a chance to forget the hard facts of their lives in the wm:k's of great authors, everyone who has‘the welfare of .children at heart, must rejoice. Ivory Does Not Rust. One cold afternoon several school- girls were standing on a corner wait- ing for a car. A man invited them to come into his office to wait for the | car. They accepted: The conversation soon turned to the color of a certain girl’s hair. One insisted it was red, another that it was auburn, and an- other that it was brown. At the height of the discussion two children entered the office. As soon “as they understood the nature of the argument, one of the youngsters cx- claimed : 8 “Oh, shucks! Her hair ain’t red.
