KOKOMO YOUTH IS UNIVERSITY STAR 4 Evanston, 111., .May 4 (U.R 1 Russell "Rut" Walter, who noithwestern university coaches hope, will give the Purple its fit st place on tiie track squail of an American Olympic team, will have his first test In individual c liege competition when the Purple ! track team meets Indiana at Dyche Stadium tomorrow. Walter will match strides with ; Stephenson and Abrotnson, Indiana ■ stars, in the 440-yard event. "Rut’s p. evil us efforts this spring have been , f. om a flying start as anchor man on the Reljy team at Kansas and Drake. In both these laces Walter ran the i distance under|4S.s seconds, and it is expectdil that he will better this time in Satin day's contest. The Kokomo runner is showing be--tei form and speed in every workout I and begins to loom as one of the best quarter niileis in the country. At the Kansas relays lie cutsteped "Bibs" i Cuhel, great lowa speedstei, to give the Hawkeys their first mile relay defeat in several years at the hands of a (Big Ten opponent. Walter will have his big chance May ■ 25 and 2d, when the Big Ten outdoor track and field championships are held at Evanston. Tiie meet will lie an Olympic tryout, winners of first and I ’ sec nd place in each event being eligible to compete at Harvard in the | final trial. Northwestern never has placed a Hack man on the Olympic squad and is counting heavily ou Waiter to bring that Honor to the school f r the first i time. o Ray Keech Seeks Mount For 500-Mile Auto Race Indianapolis, Ind., May 4. —(INS)— i Ray Keech of Philadelphia, Pa., holder I of the woild’s speed record was in InI dianapolis teday to arrange to enter the 16th annual 500-mile race at the [ Itldiinapolis Speedway on May 30. Keech may drive either a Duesenberg | car of the machine which the late 1 FYank Lockhart expected to drive in I the race. Keech set the world’s speed record at Daytona b«-ach Florida, ou April 22 when he averaged 207.55 miles an hc.ur in his White Triplex 36-cylinder racer. — -o— — Jack Dempsey To Do His Fighting In The Movies Next Fall New York. May 4—(U.R)-Jack Dempsey will return to the ring this fall, but only as an actor. He will play the : oleos a prizefighter in a play. "The Big fight to he staged under thp direction of David Belasco. Estelle Taylor, Dempsey’s wife, will play the leading role, that cf a manicure girl. They will receive, it is said the largest salary of anyone on the stage exceeding even the $12,000 a week paid to Al Jolson. Dempsey is enthusiastic about the . play. He will go through a period of I training to condition himself for las part, whicii will include two rounds of boxing at every performance. WALSH CONSIDERS DROPPING OUT OF DEMOCRATIC RACE I CONTINUED FROM PAGE «>NE) they have been in the minority. The candidacy of the Montana Sen-! ator is considered by Democratic i leaders to be in an untenable posl- ! tion. As matters now stand, Walsh is assured of but eight delegates at Houston, these being from his own state. And it is well known in Demo- ; cratic quarters that the Montana' delegation was listed in the Smith camp before Senator Walsh formally announced his candidacy some weeks ago. The apparent hopelessness of stacking eight delegates up against Smith’s total of approximately 532 out of the 682 thus far selected has impressed the senator himself as well as his friends. • If Senator Walsh does efface himself from the picture, it will leave Senator Reed the one outstanding candidate against the New York governor. However, Reed is not much more acceptable to some of the forces that have been behind Walsh than is (Tov. Smith himself. Reed will not withdraw under anv circumstances. He made that plain ’n his message to Josephus Daniels, the Raleigh publisher, denying imputations that he would 113-V0 anything to do with a third party movement. ‘‘l am a Democrat,” said Reed, Inferring that, as a Democrat he was willing to stand or fall by the convention’s verdict.

■ —-— Copy of petition to the Indiana Public Service Commission, asking for an increase rate by the Preble Tilephone Co. PREBLE TELEPHONE CO. Preble, Ind.. April 26, 1928 Pub ic Service Commission. Indianapolis, Indiana, Gentlemen: RE: an increase of rates, desire to say that this is a Mutual Telephone Company and we assume that we have a right to make assessments on the members for funds to operate the system other than what the income from non-members provides. At the present time we have 102 members and 80 non-members. We petition that the Commission allow us to increase the rates from SI.OO per month to $1.25 per month to nonmembers. WlP’e not definitely settled, it is thought that the probable assessment of members will be SIO.OO per year, while the past assessment has been $R oo per year per member. We feel that, after raising the assessment dues on members and the increase on non-members will produce sufficient revenue for the operation of the plant and the upkeep and repairs on lines. This company was not organized for profit and we do not bel’eve that we are out of reason in our demands for an Increase of Hoping that our plea will have rates to non-members. your kind consideration, we are, Respectfully, PREBLE TELEPHONE CO. Per O. A. Hoffmann. President. Date of hearing to be set later. • i i 1

SAY’ ORS MOTOR CO. 213 No. Ist st. 5c BUYS A REALLY i GOOD CIGAR You say it can’t be done? Man, read this! The five-cent cigar purchaser is as much entitled to enjoyment out of his smoking®s the man who pays more. Here’s the cigar that'll give ( it to hint: Havana Ribbon. Don’t say it’s “just another five-center.” Try it. Then let your judgment rule. Havana Ribbon is as different front ordinary 5c cigars as green or over-ripe bananas are different 1 from ripe ones. And for the same reason: Havana Ribbon contains no “green” under-ripe tobacco; nor over-ripe. No bitterness; no flatness. You get a smoke that’s marvelously fragrant, cool, mild, mellow —fine-tasting. . . . Because it’s ripe tobacco —every bit. And long-filler too! No “scraps” or “cuttings.” Havana Ribbon has been going great guns for thirty years. Millions being smoked! It’s the “nickler” of the century, and 5c will prove to you that this is no idle dream. Sold everywhere. Also Practical Pocket Packages of five cigars. MAJESTIC i FORT WAYNE Beginning Sunday, May 6th Farewell Week Mats. Wedn. and Saturday.
