Jeff Smith.
Jerome Jefferds is the new middle weight champion of France. Being as how Jerome is an American, we greet hinii "Congratulations, Jeromei" Know Jerome? Well, his ring moniker is Jeff Smith. Not wanting to start In tho ring game under a needless handicap, he slipped the Jerome name under the corner of the barn. As for the other part of the name, he wanted to see whether or not he could add anything to the family glory before bringing the Jefferds into the limelight. Jeff won the aforementioned title the other day in Paris by knocking out the French middleweight champ, Ercole de Balzac. Jeff was born April 3, 1891, in New York, and broke into the fistic record ten years ago. He has met practically all of the good American middloweights. Haven't the complete record of Johnny Wilson, new American middleweight champ, at hand, so can't say as to whether Jeff has met him. Among the stars Jeff has met with much success are Jimmy Clabby, Mike Gibbons, George Chip, Eddie McGoorty, Gus Christie, Harry Grcb and the late Les Darcy.

King, the last game of tne rcea-uianr. series was to have been played at Redland Field, Thursday afternoon. This series wasNmly to have included three games. The second was postponed until August 27 because of the downpour that drenched the playing field Wednesday. Manager Moran was undecided as to his pitching choice for Thursday, although his choice will either be Reuther or Fisher.
Quaker Nettists Meet Butler The weatherman permitting, Earlham and Butler tennis teams were to have clashed at the Quaker tennis courts Thursday afternoon. This will give the Quakers opportunity to atone for the overwhelming defeat received at Indianapolis three weeks ago. Butler has not lost a tennis meet this season, however.
College Games
Wheat has improved Bom& around Cottage Grove, according to Gardener and Lewis, but even so the outlook is for but one-fourth to one-third of a normal crop. The fly did a lot of damage in that section, and while there is no report of Its return this spring, wheat isn't doing well. Many farmers sowed their wheat land in oats, others sowed oats In the wheat for a feed crop, while here and there is a little late planted wheat, which will make a fair crop. Mr. Lewis reports pastures pretty good, but not up to average. He says, too, that the spring pig crop was light and farmers generally are complaining of loss of pigs, particularly of those which came early High priced seed potatoes are limiting planting, there being no commercial growers. Farmers are all supplied with help. Corn will be planted in the place of wheat. In many instances, and the oat crop promises to be. large Have All Help Needed. "Labor conditions around Oxford seem satisfactory so far as farmers are concerned," said Howard Coulter. "Haven't heard any one complain of being shorthanded of late. Wheat looks better from day to day but there is far from a bumper croi4in sight, too much fly last fall. Lots or wheat land has been put in oats and some will be
planted to corn. As to hogs the demand for feeders is being cut because of advance in corn and feedstuffs, though we are still selling a few In spite of weakness in the hog markets." Quit Raising Potatoes. "No I am not raising potatoes for market any more," said Frank Morion, of College Corner. "I quit last year, potatoes making a whole lot of work, and uncertain crops and prices make potato growing a rather risky deal." Mr. Morton is doing general farming. He has 85 acres in wheat, some of which has been sown to oats and clover, and some of which looks fairly good. The fly got some of his wheat last fall, but so far, hasn't come back for the rest of it. He will plant 65 acres in corn; has all the help needed, and so have his neighbors, he thinks. "There's No Food Shortage." J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, says there has been no shortage of food in America. "If food Is high it is not because it is scarce. To increase the amount of food would not cheapen it. Moreover, it is not the price paid to the farmer for his product that determines the cost of food. Reduced costs of living must mean reduced costs of transportation, distribution and marketing." Mr. Howard said: "Just now the
country elevators are filled to the roof with wheat, corn and oats, with no outlet. Cash corn has for many months been above futures, because deliveries are impossible. Hogs and cattle iave been held In feed lots because of car shortage, congestions or embargoes. The 1920 grain crop will be harvested and threshed before the 1919 crop can all be marketed." Mr. Howard recently spent three weeks In the south. He states that he found the cotton farmers in the same shape as the grain growers. They are unable to sell their cotton for lack of transportation.
21 Youngsters Want To ' Join Duroc Pig Club The first result of the mailing out of pig club cards on Monday was the receipt of 21 cards on Wednesday from school children in all parts of the county, who wish to raise a pig. The children are asked to designate the breed of pig preferred, this being left entirely to their choice. The Duroc breeders met recently and decided to back all the youngsters
who wish to raise "red" hogs. A number of cards are being mpiled to the I children daily and it is er-.nected that
pig clubB will be formed in every township. Additional pig club names are coming in by every mail.

'WEAR 'EM AND PATCH 'EM" SLOGAN OF OL' CLO' MOVE (By Associated Press) NEW ORLEANS, May 13. Threadbare coats, shiny trousers, last year's straws and re-soled shoes were the
I order of the day signalizing the open
ing of the city s second organized drive on the high cost of living. "Proclaimed old clothes day" by acting mayor Hicks as a part of the campaign begun at Tulane university, the celebration was intended to arouse interest in the organization of "Wear 'tm and patch 'em clubs", designed as were the overall clubs to force down the costs of clothing.
Junior High Sports
j Athletic interest at Garfield school centered on the annual inter-school track and field meet at the TwentySecond Street Playgrounds on May 22. This meet is participated in by boys and girls. It decides the supremacy of the Whites or Purples for the school year. F. Kessler was recently elected captain for the Large Whites and T. Phillips for the Small Whites. Fred Throckmorton is captain of the Large Purples and J. Lasy for the Small Purples. Both squads are at the playground three times a week and speed shown ,!n practice indicates a fast meet will be held. No records will probably be broken, however, as they were hung up in the days when boys did not go lo hieh until about 16 years old.

Tobacco Imports Decreasing This Year, U. S. Report Shows A diminishing volume of impojt
trade in leaf tobacco is indicated by
the official government statistics for the month of February, 1920, which show a falling off in the quantity of Philippine leaf brought into the country of 45,779 pounds, or 19 per cent, contrasted with the corresponding month last year. Wrapper leaf, principal shipments of which come from the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies, decreased 18,426 pounds, or 5 per cent. All other leaf imports decreased 2,2S7,C26 pounds, or 33 per cent. The total quantity of all unmanufactured tobacco brought into the United States during February, 1920, was 2,351,831 pounds, or 31 per cent less than for the same month last year. For the eight months of the current fiscal year, however, there has been a slight increase, amounting to 2,222.735 pounds, or about 4 per cent. The total values for February show a decrease of $2,427,894, or 34. per cent, and for the eight months' period an increase of $7,516,414. or 19 per cent.
SIMS' POLICIES
(Continued from Page One) over again that this dispatch made him "about ready to Jump overboard," and that it was algned with my name, conveying the impression that the civilian secretary of the navy had personally passed upon the question of a particular method to protect shipping and was resisting the adoption of the convoy system. I knew I never entertained the opinion stated in the dispatch he displayed." Wants Him Produced. "Admiral Sims Bhould produce the person who changed the signature," Mr. Daniels declared, adding that "the admiral owes an apology to me and to the country for the impression undertaken to be made by his testimony based on a false signature." Much of the secretary's testimony today was devoted to the controversy over convoying troop ships. He insisted that Admiral Stms had not agreed with the department's views as to the necessity for protecting transports and told the committee he had found It necessary to remind Admiral Sims several times during the war that the first duty of American destroyers abroad was to protect these vessels. The admiral's course regarding the protection of troop ships caused the department "much anxiety," Secretary Daniels declared and finally he "bluntly" told Sims that everything was secondary to the safeguarding of vessels carrying American soldiers. Withdrew Convoy, He Says. Mr. Daniels charged that Admiral Sims withdrew the destroyer escort from the first convoy as soon as it arrived abroad, leaving the transports
without protection for the return
voyage.
"Sims' various attempts to discredit
the submarine attacks reported by Admiral Gleaves and other officers," said Mr. Daniels, "are a piece with his attempts to throw doubt on the conduct of this first expedition." "We had no reason then and have no reason now to doubt Admiral Sims' own positive statements, made at the time, that the convoy was attacked; the reports of Admiral Gleaves and the official report of the French general staff to the same effect. This is
not the first or only Instance In which Admiral Sims-has stated before this committee that statements made in his official dispatches to the department during the war were not to be relied upon." Mr. Daniels also testified that Admiral Sims had objected to the use of the former German liner Leviathan as a troop ship on the ground that her great length made her a better target for torpedoes than smaller vessels. Ho also nald that the admiral had contended that the ship should be operated to Liverpool rather than to Brest, because of better facilities for handling her cargo. Made Blunder, Charged. The navy department, the secretary
6aid, followed the admiral's advice in the matter with the result that the Leviathan because of her great draft, had to await an entire lunar month at Liverpool before she could get out of the harbor. Admiral Sims views were then disregarded, the witness said, and the Leviathan operated out of Brest where her turn around "was measured in hours Instead of weeks, and she broke all records in the number of troops transported."
Mr. Daniels presented various offi
cial documents to support his contention that the convoy system was
originally sponsored by the American navy, and that it was not adopted
fully until months after the United States entered the war and had sent many destroyers and other craft overseas, thus providing the ships to make
the operation of the convoy system possible.
