Mike Gib ; i oi.s of St. Paul, who is generally i.r.'uite.i with beinsr the cleverest fieMer in the rinp today, and Paokey McFarland of Chloaco, who was gen- . oriliy ireilitoil wun an mat iwo oi ! three years ago. will come together ' i,t the Hrighton Motordrome tonight. The tilt is scheduled to last ten ' tour.ds and there Is no reason to : doubt it will be any shorter, barring i . . .... .... ; up for a month for this bout. Past ; records have been delved Into, almost everyone who ever heard of a boxing glove has speculated on Its outcome, ; and when it is all simmered down I this big feature stands out above the '. rest that no one .not even McFar land or Gibbons themselves knows any more about it than anyone else. ! And that is nothing! I Jim Jeffries proved, to the boxing ' world at Reno five years ago that t there Is no"dope'' on a fighter who 1 has been out of the game several : years. Jeff was going better than he had ever gone in his life, according ! to the men who watched him train 1 he had speed, agility, the punch ev ' erything that had carried him to the 1 front ranks of boxers. But after he 1 got in the ring he didn't have any ' thing except a memory of what had been, and a mighty sore head. McFarland has been out of the game over two years. In that time he hasn't boxed much even in prac tice and any duj of an athletic Judge ' can testify that it doesn't take a man long to go back when he isn't work- i ing; that a paunch Is easier to ac quire than to remove. Jot mat i Packey has a paunch, however, at least externally. He looks, and says he is. in shape. ' There can be but little doubt that the St. Paul phantom Is right. He has been boxing steadily, working right along, and boxing critics consid er him now at the zenith of a suc cessful career. There Is plenty of Gibbons dope There Is none of McFarland. And for that reason fight fans have pick ed the little Minnesota man to win. Chances of a knockout, either way. were regarded today as about -as probable as Bryan's ascendancy to the Whitehouse. It takes a good man to put away even a second rater in a ten round affair, particularly if that second rater has a pair of leg9 that conceal the Bpeed in getting away from a sleep wallop that Mc Farland's does. McFarland is more or less noted for the fact that he never acquired a tin' ear or any other disfiguring marks in the ring.

Right oi! tor of the announcement of the go between George Ingle of Seattle and Jack Carpenter, scheduled for the Oregon theater on the night of Sept. 24, and of the bout at Athena next week between Tommy Clark and Bobby Evans, Promoter Farell an nounces that he will probably match Clark and Al Hosier for a ten round bout on September 21 and on the same night will tend his younger brother, Joe, against the veteran Jockey Bennett. At the same time Farrell states that Clark has readily promised to give him a return bout in about a month or as soon as he (Far rell i has recovered from the Injuries which he sustained in the ring the other night. The double card for the night of September 21 would be one to draw a house. Clark and Mosler have boin made many friends here by their exhibitions with Farrell and the fpns would be glad to see them go after each other. The fans are also eager to see the younger Farrell In action as he has shown plenty nt stuff in the short bouts he has boxed He is too young yet to send over 20 rounds but In 19 rounds with Bennett ! he could learn a great deal from the veteran bantam. The return bout between Farrell and Clark will undoubtedly draw one : of the largest houses ever attracted Jr a local boxing bout. Each of the ' two boys having won a battle be- I cause of a ring accident, opinion Is j yet divided upon their comparative merits. Each of the fighters, too, Is ; positive he is the better man and Is j eager for the return. Cllark, before j leaving for Portland last night, post ed a forfeit for the bout with Mos- ler and offered to put up one to bind the return go with Farrell. Farrell. however, does not know how soon ( his cut eye will heal and will wait until he knows for certain when he 'an enter the ring again. The phy sidarn have ordered him to keep out of a gymnasium for three weeks and ' it will be at least a month before he j can consider going Into a battle aiiain.

Price $875, f. o. b. Lansing, Mich. WE FEEL WE MUST EXPLAIN to our more intelli gent readers why and how it is possible to place such cars in your hands at such unheard of prices. FOR WITHOUT THAT EXPLANATION without reasons so logical they must satisfy you you could not accept these values as genuine. OF COURSE THE PRICES ALONE would not aston ish might not even interest you. For mere price taken by itself, indicates nothing to the intelligent buyer. BESIDES YOU'VE BEEN SURFEITED with an nouncements of "big cars at little prices" this year more than ever before. MOST MAKERS SEEM TO HAVE lost their heads in the fierce battle of price competition. As a result you've seen price reductions that we think must have indicated to your mind clearly one of two things either that the value wai not therm hit season or couldn't be this. SO MERE PRICE EVEN THESE sensational new Reo prices would interest you only mildly if at all. BUT KNOWING AS YOU DO, REO standards of excellence in materials and manufacture; knowing as you do the Reo reputation for making only cars of sterling quality; knowing and estimating as you will, Reo integrity in selling as well as in making, you must marvel at these prices. FOR TAKEN WITH THE QUALITY of these two famous Reo models, these prices represent, we verily believe, the greatest values ever offered in an auto mobile. BOTH REO MODELS Reo the Fifth, "The Incom parable Four," and the Reo Six have long since passed the experimental stage. Both have been tried and proven and not by factory testers, but by thousands and tens of thousands of owners, and in every land. IT WASNT NECESSARY either to improve the quality or to reduce the price except that it is and always has been the Reo desire to give Reo buyers greater value than could be obtained elsewhere and just as much more as our greater experience and su perior facilities could give. BUT IT WAS POSSIBLE and that was sufficient. A COMBINATION .OF FACTORS and conditions that are, we believe, unique with Reo, made these prices for these quality-cars possible. NO; PRICES OF MATERIALS had nothing to do with it prices of no important materials are lower, while prices of many are higher now than a year ago. ONLY WAY COST OF MATERIALS in a car can be reduced this year is by reducing quality of materials using inferior or substitutes. YES; THERE IS ANOTHER WAY the simple expedient of reducing the amount of materials. In other words, reducing the weight of the car, FOR IT IS A FACT THAT YOU CAN reduce the cost of an automobile twenty -five percent by simply cut- ting the weight down that much. Some do to the danger point we believe. REO CARS ARE LIGHT CARS but not light to the point of flimsiness. They are as light as may be with out sacrifice of safety or durability. SO THAT EXPEDIENT of cutting down the amount of materials that go into the car was not to be thought of, any more than was the other of using materials of inferior quality or substitution. IN THE MAKING OF REOS this year we are using not better because they are not to be had but the . same quality of materials as formerly. So that isn't the reason for the lower price. COST OF MAKING, IS HOWEVER somewhat less thanks to the fact .that in many ways we have been able to reach a still higher degree of efficiency. ONE BIG ITEM IN COST REDUCTION of these two models was the f3rt that both had passed tie experimental stage. IT TAKES AT LEAST THREE YEARS, to perfr-t any new automobile medci. ANYWAY IT TAKES THAT LONG to get a car to the point of perfection where we are willing to offer it to Reo buyers and back it with the Reo guarantee. THE MOST IMPORTANX factor in the reduction of manufacturing cost and at the same time the making of a better product, was to be found in Reo itself. NEVER SINCE THE DAY RZO WAS incorporated has there been a single change in the personnel of the executive organization. THE SAME PRESIDENT presides who occupied the chair at the first meeting of the Reo. THE SAME GENERAL MANAGER directs; the same engineer designs; the same expert handles the funds; the same purchasing agent buys; the same factory superintendent oversees; and finally, the same men direct the sales, who have handled these impor tant departments since the first Reo was designed and made and sold. ALL WE'VE LEARNED WE'VE KEPT right In the Reo organization. AND IN THE FACTORY do you know there are scores of men in the Reo factories today working on these latest Reo models who worked on the very first Reo? Hundreds who have been here six to ten years. SO THERE AGAIN WE CAN SAY "All we've learned we've kept." Every man has become a specialist is an expert at his particular task. REO DEALERS ARE RESPONSIBLE however, the credit is theira for the biggest item. For, but for . the unprecedented action and the hearty co-operation of hundreds of Reo Distributors we could not have placed these cars in your hands at these prices. LIKE THE FACTORY ORGANIZATION the Reo Dealer Organization has been with us from the first. Many of the principal Reo dealers have sold Reos exclusively ever since the first Reo was made. WELL, THIS SEASON WE WERE confronted with a problem price competition to an extent greater than ever before. OUR DEALERS INSISTED that, even though fortified with Reo quality and prestige, still they cquld not wholly ignore price competiton. WE CONTENDED that price did not matter, that it fooled no one or at most only a small percentage of buyers and they not the most desirable. WE SHOWED THEM that the cost of making Reos could not be materially lessened without reducing the quality and our plan was to improve the quality wherever and whenever possible. WHY, WE REO FOLK wouldn't want to be in business if we couldn't feel we could make better cars this year than last; next year than thisl WE SET OUR OWN STANDARDS and will always ignore those of others at least when they trend downward. BUT THEY PROTESTED that the average buyer saw only the price tag. That while he saw the reduction in price, he did not notice the reduction in quality in value. So they wanted a competitive price on Reos as well as Reo quality in the product. THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY it could be done that was if the dealers would ajree to handle Reo carl on a smaller margin of profit than is the rule with other cars. We told them if they would agree to that we could set a price on Reo cars that would create a genuine Knwtion. AND THEV AGREED! It is ah uprecVd'cnted action we4be!ieve. And that the hundredsof Reo Distributors assented to the plan was due to another unique condi tionnamely, the extremely low cost of selling and of giving service cn Reo cars. A CANVASS SHOWE") this remarkable fact: That the averaRe cost of the dealer's guarantee on a Feo car the co3t of keeping it in perfect running order and its buyer thoroughly satisfied -was less than six dollars per car per yearl JUST COMPARE THAT with the cost of maintaining some makes of cars! WHY, ONE OF OUR DEALERS who handled two other lines last season but who says, most emphatic ally, he will handle Reos exclusively hereafter tells us that the average cost to him per car on one of those lines was $69 and on the other $49 whi'e Reo averaged in his case $4.75 per car per yearl AND THAT WASN'T ALL. The factor that Reo Distributors consider most important is the customer satisfied or the reverse. For you must kno-v that though that dealer spent $61 to keen a certain ear running he still could not keep the man to whom he had sold that car satisfied not even by taking it back and standing the full loss itself. HE COULD NOT REIMBURSE him in dollars for the delays, the disappointr.irnts and the aggravations he had suffered. SO REOS WILL BE SOLD in the future on a lesser margin from the dealer to user (and factory maririn has always been as close as was saf?) than oiv other automobile in the same class or of higher price.

Everything Is dependent in large part upon it to reach the ear of the pub lic and a newspaper that is alive, progressive, Is a mighty factor In the upbuilding or the retarding of the community life.

ItKI.KJIOX AND THE t OM-MlMTY NEWSPAPER (Continued from pace one.) dleton but a abort time, It has been of sufficient length for me to note the sympathrtic attitude of Pendleton's newspupers toward the churches and tlon to his Clod, which Is his religion, and the community newspaper. There should be no need of apology for a newspaper to give large space In the Interest of religion, and surely an edi tor could not use his pen to better purpose than that of getting before his many readers of the various faiths the moral and spiritual Ideal that make for contentment and happi ness. It is to be expected that the various denominations will be active In propagating their peculiar tenet of faith but with the community newspaper It I no denominational Ism or sectarianism of any kind hut the salutary tfachlnna of righteous ness and .Godliness recognized by all men as wholesome. Paul, the apos tle, was complimentary to Athens when he remarked, "For as I passed along, I perceived that ye are some what rellnliiu.'' True religion is not mere sentiment, It Is the best of sense, No city or community can expect to ever become Its best without a due and proper attention to the greatest of all things. "Seek ye first the King dom of God and His righteousness and all these other things will be added unto you." PLAN UP TO BOYCOTT FIGHTS. IN WISCONSIN CHICAGO, Sept. . Fight promo, ter and boxer managers of Chicago today took step to boycott Wisconsin fights. Headed by Harry James, fight promoter and manager of the crack litle bantam, Johnnie Ritchie, local promoter and fight fan will organ ize to' force the Wisconsin promoter, and particularly the Milwaukee fight club managers, to give more recogni tion to Chicago boxer. The feeling that Chicago boxer and promoter, haven't been getting FATAL EXPLOSION ON in end or tne norn from the Wis consin crowd, has been growing for some time, The Chlcagoans claim that although they take the Chicago end of boosting matches and through their local publicity' work send up delegations to every fight show, the Wisconsin manager overlook them completely when It come to engaging preliminary fighter. "There are a lot of mighty good boy down on their lace because they can't get fight, these day," said James. "There Isn't a reason in the world Why they shouldn't get some of the prelim picking. Thej help u get rid of a bunch of ticket every time Milwaukee and other Wis consin town pull a battle. Alt they get I a ticket to the show. What they sant, and what they ought to get 1 a chance to fight for more money." James ha behind him all the fight fans and newspapers of Chicago and In calling a meeting of the local pro moter today, deelared It will be a fight to a finish. DESTROYER DECATUR.
