Newspaper re- porters wait upon them, offer con- gratulations and in return are re- galed with a few words of wisdom wind' they dutifully broadcast. John D. Rockefeller, who was 90 years old recently, is the most illustrious of this band. He is the oldest, the rich- est, and never fails to say something that newspaper editors think well worth rpublishing. This year he ask- ed to be excused from receiving the large crowd of correspondents which generally assembles to greet him. He said that he would receive one journ- alist and one photographer. Mr. Rockefeller is apparently thinking more of his health than of publicity. For the past 30 years he has been as careful in guarding this treasure as he was in piling up his millions. Ev- en at 90 Mr. Rockefeller finds life well worth living. He is enjoying himself. But he is thrifty of his health, as he was thrifty of his sav- ings. He rises betitnes, has his -breakfast at a set moment, has the paper read to him and discusses matters with his secretary. He plays nine rounds of golf, generally on his private links. Then he has lunch, after which he plays a special kind of solitaire some- thing like "Canfield." He has a nap and then takes an automobile ride through his estate and along public roads. On these trips he is likely to stop and pick up anybody walking in his direction. To him he will chat in a democratic manner and as he sets his guest down will present him with either a shiny new nickel or a new dime. If he has not felt particu- arly edified by the conversation the presentation of the nickel will be a gentle hint. If he has been uplifted and has heard something bright or interesting he will contribute a dime. It has been estimated that his pas- sion for distributing these coins costs him not less than $1,750 a year On rising he fills one pocket with the nickels and another with the limes. He gets them from a bank before they have been in general circulation. Of late years Mr. Rockefeller has been associated more with the gratui- tous circulation of these small coins than with any other public activity. Generally when he hands over the coin he says: "This is for the savings account," but not invariably. Just why he has indulged in this CUri 311S passion is hard to determine, but Mr. P. W. Wilson, who writes intimately of Mr. Rockefeller in the New York Times magazine, believes it is a form of humor. Mr. Rockefeller thinks it perfectly killing that a man who personifies in the eyes of the LIVING BA °MEINERS Country folk do not have to rely on newspapers and wireless reports to tell thea what kind of weather they may expect, says a writer in Answers.

When they see the moon surround- ed by a ring or halo they know that rain is not far away, and the larger the ring the nearer the storm. But in bad weather a ring round the sun is welcomed, because an improvement is probable. The stars, too, tell their story. If they twinkle more than usual at night high winds and unsettled conditions are expected. Signs of red and gold at sunset are received well, for fine weather will follow, but any pretty silvery effects in the clouds at sunset are unfavor- a.ble signs. Country folks, however, do not re- ly entirely upon the sky for their weather broadcasts. Animals prove excellent baremeters. If cows cease to yield their normal supply of milk cold and stormy weather is ahead, and if they seem restless they know that rough winds are to be expected. and any weaknesses in the cow -hous- es are strengthened in anticipation. Pigs, usually so quiet, become agi- tated when a spell of good weather is about to end. Pigs also have a cur- ious custom of carrying mouthfuls of straw into their sleeping quarters just before a gale. Sheep in fine weather will scatter over a wide arch but if a change is approaching they will huddle together. Careful 'weather watchers have not- iced that spiders work strenuously to strengthen their webs before fierce winds.

The idea that he is trying to encouraee savings is ridiculous, for Mr. Rocke- feller knows that all the coins he thee distributes become souvenirs, and are more likely to be seen in glass cases p.m. than in savings accounts. We are 5.51 informed that Mr. Rockefeller hes a 6.04 keen sense of humor and that he 6.18 greatly enjoys the conversation of 6.22 those who have the art of telling good 6.22 stories. He tells stories himself, hut (165) none of them of a character to bring 6.52 the blush of shame to the cheek of 7.12 the most sensitive holder of Standard 7.21 Oil stoc. Indeed Mr. Rockefeller is a 7.33 pious man, a daily reader of the 7.55 Bible, a conductor of family prayers. It is true that the methods by which he built up Standard Oil were sometimes disreputable, and natrow- ly escaped being criminal. There was a time which many of us can rernere ber when his name stood for all that was odious and wolfish in business methods. But in those days Mr. Rockefeller was not less conscious of being a religious man than he is to- day. He believed .that he was doing right. Perhaps he saw himself inere- ly as the instrument of irresis;tible economic forces. He did not fail in his church attendance, nor in his generous contribution to worthy causes. In fairness to Mr. Rockeel- ler it ought to be said that it was not only after he had amassed his 'huge fortune that he began to give money away. He was always a giver, though not on the colossal scale that later attracted the attention of the whole world. But he always lived up to the principles that were instilled into him by his mother. To give a percentage of his profits to the Lord was more than a principle with him. It became a superstition. If he failed in it he would expect business reverses. 3.05 3.25 3.38 3.47 4.10 4.28 (164) 4.38 4.48 5.05 5.17 p.m. 2.20 2.37 2.50 8.08 8.15 3.22 Dublin 11.17 5.88 9.87 Clinton 11.50 6.08-6.58 10.04 Hohnesville 12.01 7.03 10.13 Goderiele 5.50 Menet 5.55 lutegar7 5.04 Myth 5.25 "Mika GAO neNtitglit G.52 IWZOW.1: 20.20 2140 22.02 itslo DEMPSEY WILL FIGHT FOR A MILLION DOLLARS STEWART EROS.

TOZEIITER -OU SPECIAL - This week we offer two unusual Caerselette Jack Dempsey has announced that if any promoter comes along and of- fers him a million dollars to return to the ring he will take it. He does not say that he expects to win the fight but he observes that if anyone thinks he is worth a million dollars as a drawing card he will be pleased to hear from him. Dempsey is al- ways more or less fit. He works out at the gymnasium every day but this, he says, is to keep himself from get- ting fat rather than to fit himself for a prize fight. He observed to his friend C. William Duncan not long ago that he probably would have won his fight with Tunney in Chicago if he had trained more lightly and long- er. In his desperation to get fit he overdid it and left in the gymnasium that vitality and energy that he should have had when he went in the ring. Proper training, he believes would have enabled him to go after Tunney and lay him low after the champion arose from that famous long count. Mr. Duncan asked Dempsey to name the best heavyweight he had ever fought and Jack said promptly, "Jess Willard." It is to be expected, of course, that a prize fighter would say the man he defeated was a bet- ter man than the man who defeated him. That is human nature. The implication is of course, that the Dempsey who defeated Willard was not the Dempsey whom Tunney de- feated in Philadelphia, and that is pretty well agreed upon by ring ex- perts. "Willard in his prime," said Dempsey, "would have licked Tun- ney in his rprime without any trouble. He was by far the better puncher and was so much bigger and stronger that Tunney could never have hurt him. And Tunney could never have kept that big fellow with his size and reach away from him because he didn't have the punch to do it." Ask- ed who was the best boxer he had ever met, he said, "Tommy Gibbons," a reply that also agrees with the critical consensus, for Gibbons met Dempsey when he was not far from his prime and though defeated, was not knocked out or even seriously punished. The toughest fight he ever had was with Luis Firpo who knocked him out of the ring with a swinging blow that landed Dempsey in the lap of a newspaper reporter sitting beside and below the ring. Mr. Dempsey did not mention the fact, but if Firpo bad had a smart manager he would have claimed the fight and probably been awarded it since the rules do not per- mit a boxer knocked out of the ring to be assisted back by spectators. Firpo was the hardest puncher that Dempsey ever faced. Asked to name the best he had ever seen at other weights, he compiled the follovving list: Tommy Loughran, light heavy- weight; Jack Dillon, middleweight; Jack Britton, welterweight; Benny Leonard, lightweight ; Johnny Kil- bane, featherweight; Kid Williams, bantamweight. It is notable that he GENERAL HARDWARE We sell Gold Medal TELEPHONE 61 For the past thirty years or so he has not been active in business, thought it is a mistake to suppose that he does not take any interest in the stock market.

Good -will, co-operation and the square deal make a successful part- nership, not dissension and rivalry. Residents of Seaforth and the surrounding districts niust practice co-ordination and unity of effort to ensure the success of the entire community. Farmers, your market is in Seaforth. Sell your wares in this town and buy your necessities here. Merchants, the farmers of this district are your patrons and friends. Buy their products and give them what their goods are worth. Then sell them your mer- chandise on an honest and co-operative basis. Good -will and combin- ed support for Seaforth will result. With such a system in practice, this town will soon become a lead- ing community. The money which the farmer pays for his necessi- ties will remain here and that which the merchant pays the farmer will come back to him. The profits a trade will build up this C91311- munity and not go to the support of competing cities. You are residents in your community must adopt the spirit of eo- ordination, as well as team work. Make a concentrated effort to bring to Seaforth the outlying trade, and by doing this you will build slowly but surely for a bigger and better business, and a better community in which to live.

One rea- son may be that Walker is the fav- orite of Jack Kearns, the former Dempsey manager, who hopes some day to see the snubnosed Irishman seated on the heavyweight throne. Another secret to which Jack made Mr. Duncan privy and which Mr. Duncan in turn reveals to readers of the Philadelphia Public Ledger is that his famous scowl which he used to turn on his opponents as he sat wait- ing for the bell was mere showman- ship. The public liked to see Jack look tough mid he obliged to the ex- tent of not shaving for several days before a fight, and glaring ferocious- ly upon the man sitting in the op- posite corner. But once the fight started there was nothing fictitious about the scowl. It was authentic. So was the growl that accompanied it. In all his fights Dempsey was in there to put away his opponent in the shortest possible time. He dia riot permit his mind to dwell upon , moving picture rights which wouldebi intieh impaired if the fight ended 'eeteruptly. BLe did not make a short fight with Gibbons be- cause ‘Gibbotie Vas too clever, and he did not make a sheet fight with But he was trying all the time. The point; out that 00'w-ea/min of fight- ers to -day it' that few of them will take a ehimen. %let lei what made the Sharkey-SWFaifig boot se tainiatio- were cautiono. In" the mind of each was the thought that a moment's recklessness might lead to his being knocked out. Instead, each should have been determined to knock out the other fellow. Had this aggres- sive psychology ruled the affair, one or the other would probably have been put away, but the winner would cer- tainly be in better odor with the public than either is now. Speaking of aggressive fighters, Dempsey mentioned Kid Cholocate, who recently fought in Toronto, a young fellow whose name does not came readily to mind. In any event, it was Chocolate that the fans went to see. They know that he is like Dempsey in that he does not carry along a weaker man for a certain number of rounds just to give the spectators a treat. He is there to win in a hurry, and in consequence is making money so fast that he doesn't know what to do with it. Dempsey says that he is intensely interested in the husiness of promoting prize fights. He believes that some of the qualities that made him a successful fighter will make him a successful promoter, althmegh he can starcely expect to make money so fast. His first essay in promoting was auspic- wie Wpglo ious, for when he took over the Rick- ard plans for the Sharkey-Stribing bout the Madison Square corporation expected to take a loss of $250,000. Instead, it made $100,000. IT SOUNDED COMICAL TRIM WAY HE SAID IT Premier J. E. Brownlee, of Alber- ta, was a school teacher before he became a lawyer in Calgary, which in turn led him into politics and into the premiership as head of the Farm- ers' party in the foothills province. Those years in the school room are often drawn from by Mr. Brownlee to drive hotme a point in the cJear, forceful manner which is his. In a recent address to a co-operative geoup the premier pointed out that men are like bOys-they sometimes get badly mixed up in their thinking and in their speaking. To illustrate he told of an incidebt 1 that occurred during his early teach- ing days. He said he wrote a Tenn- ber of sentences upon the blackboard with one word omitted asking the class to place the proper word in the blank space. One of the sentences was this: This brought the expected crop f answers such as "A lion is a beast of prey" and "A tiger is a beost of prey." Then one email lad who had been eyeing the sentence for some time but saying nothing thrnat up his "All right, Johiniy, how would you make the sentence re i" Said the future premier. Johnny's prompt answer was: "A preacher is a beast of prey." PUSHED IN The visiting elder had found it in- cumbent upon him to talk seriously with Tammas about his over indulg- ence in strong drink. Tammas admitted his failing with a solemn shake of the head. Do you know what you should do, my man?" said the elder. "Every time you feel inclined to go into el public house you should just say to yourself firmly, 'Get thee behind ms, Satan! Will you try that plan for a week or two?" Tarnmas agreed, but the very next week the elder met him coming out of Poosy Nancy's bar. Without waiting for the elder to say anything, Tam- mas reeled up to him and remarked: "Yer plan didna work, elder, for whenever I said the speil Satan got behind me an' pushed me in?" A N OTHER SCOTCH ONE She was engaging a new maid, and by way of recommendation rather than explanation said: "We're Scotch, you know." "Oh, that's quite all right," seitil the applieant, reassuringly. "I was once vrith a Chinese couple." Any sport, 'such as football, that can teach a pedestrian to be quicker on his feet hall its talking points. -Detroit Free Press.
