A REVIVAL OF BOXING
A revival of boxing is predicted as
(he result of the training the soldiers
received in the-camps.
It is estimated that the army is
turning back into Chilian life about
three million men who are trained
boxers, for boxing was compulsory in
many, of the training camps, and
where this was not the case there
was sufficient enthusiasm for it as a
sport to make up for the lack of com
pulsion.
As a result of the army training
and the new boxing rules establish
ed nnder It, this ancient sport Is to
be brought back to a point where it
need not be nnder the stigma of
public disapproval, as it has been for
o long. The Western Washington
Association for Government Boxing
Is one of the organizations undertak
ing "to place boxing upon a plane
that wfll make it free from criti
cism." Boxing is not a gentle pastime,
lint It requires that a man be in the
Pink of physical condition. Bad
habits and good boxing do not go to
gether. It Is excellent training
alike to mind and muscle, eyesight
and temper.
As practiced in the army one of
Its most evil features was done away
with contests for prizes or prize
money.. iAll boxing was done as sport
for sport's sake, and not for gain,
a safety razor being the highest re
ward to the winner even In the
great international bouts in which
the best mettle of the allied armies
competed.

KOLSHEY1KI ROADS
A prominent motor car salesman
calls bad roads "bolshevik!" roads.
The specialty of a bolshevik, he says,
is to destroy property and kill pro
gress, and nobody can deny that this
is exactly what the bad road does.
The bolshevik road keeps visitors,
tourists and new blood' away from
a town, and thereby retards Its
growth, discourages new enterprises
and investments and keeps realty
values down," says this apostle of
the better highway.

A RANKERS STRIKE
Sow It's the bankers that
striking or bankers' employes, who
are popularly classed as bankers,
and are generally willing to accept
that designation. Sixty people in
one of New York banks walked out
the other day when officials of the
institution refused to recognize their
union and reinstate an employe who,
they declared, had been discharged
unfairly.
It is news to most people that
bank workers have "been organlred
anywhere. The union in question
was started only a few weeks ago,
and members say that it has already
more than 2,000 members in
York City.
This is certainly a striking com
mentary on the present trend of the
organized labor movement. 'All sorts
of occupations never before associ
ated with "labor" ate being swept
into It. The spectacle of bank em
ployes joining such an organization
and adopting the established meth
ods of union labor is especially im
pressive because heretofore they
have represented the "capitalistic
spirit" almost as fully as their em
ployers absorbing the class spirit
from their business environment.
When they break away So spectacu
larly from the typical thinking of
"their class," what Is to be expect
ed In other occupations?

"Economy In the household," suys
a magazine contributor, "consists In
minimizing non-essentials. Econo-
London( Oct. 6. British labor
leaders have begun a general move
ment to increase production by in
dustrial workers. Complaints have
been made, for several months of a
decline in the amount of material
produced. This has been attributed
to refusal of the workers in many
industries to work full time.
John Hodge, a member of pnrlia
luent and labor leader, expressed the
belief that the adoption of the piece
work system as already applied to
the iron and steel industries, would
solve the problem. To this, he de
clared, many workmen wereaopposed
V. A. iAppleton, secretary of Gene
ral Federation of Trade Unions
urged the men to refrain front po
litical strikes, as the first move to
ward increased production.
"Political strikes must either fail
or end in revolution," he said. "They
are not against the capitalist but
against the community. It Is not the
capitalist that suffers but the peo
ple. The effect of such strikes Is to
decrease production and increase the
price of commodities."
M. Humbers tone, a Sheffield lead
er said: 'The surest way of Increas
ing production is to give payment by
results. Wherever possible It Is car
ried out in ours, the steel .trade. In
my opinion it Is time we called a
halt in regard to increases In wages
because It only means a further In
crease In the cost of living. The
sooner we can make the workers rea
lize that It Is more to their Interest
to decrease the cost of living than
to Increase wages, the better It will
be for all concerned."

This, officers of the veiwol said, wiim

YIELD 4 MILLION SACKS
Sacramento, Cal., Oct. 6. The
first rice shipment of this year's
crop in the Sacramento valley sold
at 6 cents a pound. This is the
highest price In the hUlory of Cal
ifornia rice growing, and Is one cent
above the figure predicted several
months ago. The first shipment
consisted of 11.000 sacks. Harvest
ing of the crop is now well under
way In various parts of the valley.
and It Is declared that the total yield
will be approximately 4,40ll,mio
sacks. This surpasses last year's
yield by 1,000.000 sacks.
Last year the rice acreage of the
valley totaled 110,000. This year It
is 140,000 and the value of the 191
crop will be a"t least 25,000,000 or
$12,000,000 more than the 191H
crop.
The yield per uere' In the valley
this year averages 30 saiks. This Is
10 sacks higher than the yield In
the Southern states. A number of
growers, experimenting with the
Edith or Western variety of rice, re
port an average yield of 3S sacks
per acre of this variety.
The high prices being paid this
year for California rice Is due main
ly to the shortage of crops In other
rice producing sections.
