STILL HAS PUNCH.

New York, May 26.—That Georges Carpentier, the French heavyweight, has not lost his punching or boxing skill as a result of his three years service in the army was conclusively demonstrated recently at the expense of an American boxer who took ring liberties with the French pugilist. It was Sergeant Ray William, of the American army, who tried to rough it with Carpentier in the first round of a boxing exhibition at St. Aignan, Loir-et-Cher. As a result William was knocked out in the second round and the memory of that right swing to the chin will linger in Sergeant William’s memory for years to come.

LIVESTOCK BREEDERS MEET.

“Individuality, breeding and feed are all essential to progress in the pure bred cattle business,” declared Prof. H. E. Allen, of Purdue, at the meeting of the Jasper County I Livestock Breeder’s Association last Saturday. Professor Allen traced the development of the present breeds from the old original foundation stock and showed how the progress had been made, giving the 'history of the principal breeds and the characteristics most desired in each. He cited the records of the showings to prove that individuality alone cannot be depended upon to give improvement as several winning individuals have made no impressions on their breeds. He urged more liberal feeding of pure -bred stock and congratulated the breeders on the results they are accomplishing. Walter B. Krueck, fitted a Shorthorn heifer for show, polishing the horns, clipping the legs and tail and curling the hair, and improving the appearance with very little effort. President Fred Phillips presided at a business meeting at winch it was decided to hold the Annual Show October 10, 11, 12. Plans were made for enlarging the existing departments and creating a few new ones. The secretary’s report showed the affairs of the organization to be in good condition. J •

Not a cheer was heard when the Austrian royal couple passed through Bulgarian Stations there being only comparatively small military demonstration.

The Red Cross chapter has had instructions from Division Headquarters to discontinue the cutting and making of hospital garments and supplies until it has received an assignment of articles needed. The reason for this ruling is the necessity of conserving material and avoiding an overproduction in some things and dearth of others which would occur if the making of supplies were left indefinitely to the dis- * cretion of the chapters. Division headquarters will be constantly advised by Washington as to the immediate needs and in turn, they will instruct chapters to meet the situation, making no more nor no less than the quota named. The Red Cross is Working with the government to furnish chapters the necessary supplies at the best possible prices and chapters are asked to co-operate by purchasing supplies through the Division supply house. Our chapter has been instructed to furnish a list of supplies on hand so that the quota can be made according to our materials. Public notice will be given to Red Cross workers as soon as the assignment has been made. Meanwhile, those persons who have knitting and sewing already out are requested to return them as soon as convenient so that the -books can be cleared for the new arrangement. / MRS. A. H. HOPKINS, Chairman Woman’s Work.
