June 21 W Jack Sharkey weighed In at 205 pounds today for his heavyweight nuc fight with Max Schmellng In Madi son Square Garden bowl tonight, 17 pounds more than the German champion who tipped the scales at 188. I The weights were a surprise to both men, some three pounds over what Sharkey expected to weigh and two pounds under what Schmel lng thought he would do. Sharkey appeared to be in the best of condition, calm and smiling while Schmellng appeared drawn And a trifle pale. The champion was the more nervous of the two. Dr. William Walker, commission pnyslcian, examined both men and said they were In excellent physical condition. . Scr.rr.cling was the more nervous of the two, he said, with a heart beat of 79 as against 70 for Sharkey. Their blood pressure was normal. Their physical condition was the exact opposite of that expected. Heretofore Schmellng has always been as calm as a burgomaster out for a stroll while Sharkey always has been on edge. Several con strued the evidence as Indicating Schmellng might be a trifle over trained. DALLES TEACHERS ALLOWED TO SMOKE The Dalles, Ore..

Good Evening! Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN The new 3 -cent postage rok into effect on July . It would be a great saving to buy up a lot of the 2-cent stamps In advance. And the 2-cent check tax is now i. Every time you write a check it's the same as buying a box of strawberries, or paying for the pick ing of two boxes, personally we a rather sit around and write ehecks than to pick strawberries but it wouldn't do the government any good. And today Is the longest day in the year. It will seem like It with folks having to start in paying the new taxes. And also wth us being delegated the task today of keeping the lawn watered the rest of tne summer. We know where somebody will be able to get some already well cured hay in about a month, Well, well, people voted Wright at the school election yesterday. And decided that a Pound of cure was better than an ounce of pre ventlon. That's one place where a Perry didn't conquer at the poll, And the remaining candidate prov ed an easy Mark. Our old friends Ray Glatt lost out for school director at Wood burn by two votes. The co-operative didn't co-operate. By the time we get beer back the downy mildew will have clean ed out the hop crop. Doggone, Just one thing after another. "A three-egg meal for 25 cents," says a local restaurant sign. It's worth two-bits to wash the dishes after a three egg meal. We can't get the remains of a three-egg meal off our upper lip, let alone off , a dish.

There seems to be plenty of grub, but how to get it Into the right mouths at the right time is the big problem. And incidentally there seems to be a local overproduction of air ports. Seemingly a nice young wcu behaved airport can be had cheap by the right party who will agree to nurse it aiong ana oruig it uv to an age when Its services will be more appreciated. , BARRINGTON IS .

Raskob of the democratic national committee upon his arrival at con vention headquarters. Raskob stood squarely behind Jouett Shouse, chairman of the executive committee, as permanent chairman for the convention. He sold any attempt to supplant Shouse would be a breach or good laitn. It drew an issue with Governor Roosevelt's forces who were back ing Senator Walsh, of Montana, for the post. Raskob declined to name a choice for the presidential nomination.

Garfield, Cleveland lawyer who played a leading role In drafting the republican platform, told news papermen today Senator Borah had "totally misinterpreted" the prohibition plank. He flatly disagreed with Koran s contention In his senate speech yes terday that the plank was tanta mount to repeal, although observ ing that the suggested 20th amend ment would take the place of the 18th. Garfield, who was chairman of the resolutions committee at the convention, said'Borah's speech did not surprise him, as he was fam iliar with the Idahoan's views. Garfield said he expected to make a statement soon as to how return of the saloon would be guarded against under the republican policy. Garfield said the plank probably would not be approved by those who favor no change In prohibition or by those who favor outright repeal, but would meet the approv al "of the great mass of people Jn between those two groups." When Garfield was asked about his announced Intention to issue a statement about preventing re turn of the saloon, he said "there are a great many things that have not been tried."

June 21 UP) Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, told the senate today that Postmaster Gen eral Brown said to him in a pri vate conversation several weeks ago that he expected to see the return of the saloon and would rather have that than present conditions. Borah's statement came during a debate with Senator Fess, repub lican. Ohio, on Brown's views. It waa a backfire from the speech made by Borah yesterday in which he said the postmaster general was for repeal.

Callahan, member of the demo cratic national committee from Wis consin, has sent to all delegates to the democratic national convention, copies of letters Intended to show the movement for Franklin D. Roosevelt In the south received aid from the Ku Klux Klan. The letters purport to be corres pondence between Roosevelt, his pre-conventlon campaign manager, James A. Farley, and organizers of the Roosevelt Southern clubs. Calla han obtained the letter from these organizations, F. B. Bummers and C. W. Jones of Atlanta, who are now suing the governor tor money they .m. u f, mcnev thev said they expended In his behalf; Callahan, running unpledged as a supporter of Alfred . Smith, In the Wisconsin primaries, was defeat ed by Roosevelt delegates. In an "open letter" accompanying the co pies, he said "with such damaging Information In circulation it will be Impossible to win the election in November unless another candidate is selected at the convention in Chi cago." The attitude of the Roosevelt camp has been that neither Sum mers nor Jones has been connected with the Roosevelt movement for several months and that any im plication that the governor was aware of their alleged dealings with the Ku Klux Klan are too ridiculous to be dignified by a denial.
