Mitchell wont down. A right hand smash that lauded fairly, whirled the Englishman to the ground in the second. In the third round Mitchell opened up with his running and Sullivan asked him to do pi St. Kvery round was practically like this, except for the fact that Mitchell would run in occasionally and hit tin tdutmpion. These tactics earned him fiist blood, which was awarded to him by the. leferee iu the eight round, when a Muush opened a cut. behind Sullivan's oar, and another cut him over tho eye. I'lircwghout tho mill, after this, a slight trickle of crimson ran down Sullivan ' face, the blood finally became matted iu Liu musiaehe, but he obstinately re fused to have it removed. At the beginning of the fight Sulli van 1 ad treated Mitchell with couleinpt, but v.'he't the plucky rhiglishii'iui fought ou and on after tuking Sullivan's Mows, the contempt turned for a tiin.' to admiration and Hullivan whispered at the cud of the fifth round that he was going to let Charley slay awhile.

Jess Willard will fight someone July 4 next, accord ing to word reaching the United Press today from Jacksonville, Fla. Colonel J. C.

Cowler knocked Willard 's challenger off 1ii8 pins twice and on two other occassions had him apparently groggy, lie was going strong when Fulton found his glass jaw with a stiff right and knocked him down nnd out. Fulton hit the mat in the first rouud when Cowler reached him with a sling ing right1 to the jaw. He went down again in the fourth when the Britishei repeated the punch. Fulton fought doggedly in spite of his bad start and gave no indication of "yellow streak" his enemies lmv accused him of possessing.

STRAUS FreiiJent American Society Jor Thrift It is well to remember that the mental values of thrift are greater than the material ones. A mistake is made by many who as sume that thrift means merely saving money. Briefly, it elimination of mean the complete ivaste it means no wasted money, no wasted time, no wasted enersry. Ii is true that the saving of money is z coiiiineiuhilile process, and com prises tiie elemental principle of thrift. However, mere money saving with out an intelligent appreciation of its significance involves the danger of fostering close-tistedncss, if tut tvanre. At the present time we are in the nv of a campaign for the sale cf wr. ings stamps and to some ex ter is the most important thrift err so far inaugurated by our gr cut. T :ir savins stamp is essen tia' 'vice for the encouragement of -i:siim those the majority o! l ave not been consistent j.v, -.fwr.

Therefore it CONTRACT LET FOR COLISEUfi UMiT AT STATE Fi jEOOID Salem Finn Gets It Again, and Also $1,000 More for Doing die Work At a meeting of the State Fair Board this morning, the contract for the first unit of the new colis uui was awarded again to Siewcrt and Engstrom, of Sa lem, at $14,0,10, about a thousand dol lars more than the original contract. The increase was due to the fact that sub contractors on which the local company depended had failed to fulfill their part of the contract. The original specifications will be fol lowed iu the roof .of the building. The and the board decided to attempt to bor- row the money and start work on this at once. It will increase the size of j itHfti l.nilrlinir tn 200x300 feet, and will : littVe side walls. This will bring the j coliseium to the size intended, although other improvements are necessary before , the building is completed, it is announced that work on the first Unit will start at once .and it is hoped to finish it1 in time for the fall pro- gram. if the plans of the fair board are carried out, it is probable that work on the second unit will start this sum mer also, but this has not been defin itely decided.

And, like all other good works, the first step is the most important one. In the nation-wide campaign now going on for the sale of war savings stamps, an almost universal appeal is being made to the public on the grounds of patriotism. This is com mendable, for at the present tune we all must adopt the slogan: "Win the war first." We believe, however, that the sig nificance of the war savings stamp is not limited to patriotism. The benefits of thrift are cumu lative and its practices are progres sive. Almost without exception he who saves a little this year will save a little more next, and still a little more year after next, and so Tin. But the great point is not how much ens saves. The mere fact of saving is the prcat essential. The school child may save a few pennies in a year, but the reflex bene fits are greater than those -received by a man who possibly saves many dollars. The child his learned a vital lesson, one that will be of bene fit through life. One cannot, tl-erefore, too larjery masrnify the importune? rc the w.-.r savings stamp.

UNDER THE CAMOUFLAGE INTIMATE WAE EXPERIENCES! AND OBSERVATIONS OF LOWELL MELLETT (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, Jan. lo. "If thine eye be, single thy -whole body shall be full otjtime," said the admiral. "We used to ligi; Spencer Wilkinson, professor of war at Oxford says the greatest attribute a war leader can have is the single eye. I met such a man today, Vice-Admiral Sir Kosslyn Wemyss, Sir John. Jellicoe's successor as first' sea lord. By hi3 singlenes of vision, I do not refer to the monocle that figures so prominently in all his youthful-looking portraits, but to the quality that Prof. Wilkinson had in mind. It came out as Sir Kosslyn explained the justification for the general belief that he proposes to recognize youth iu the British navy to a greater extent perhaps than ever before has been the case. It is intended, he said in effect, to recognize youth no matter how old in years the possessor of youth may be. "Give youth a chance," he said is apt to become a parrot cry and now is no time to pay attention 'to parrots, not even to patriotic parrots. But young men are needed, young men of thirty, forty, fifty or sixty. In peace time the rule of seniority, in the new first sea lord's opinion, is a good ono; it has given the British navy splendid leaders and helped to build up a wonderful organization. Time of war changes conditions. Men wear out. He gave me some idea or the terrific strain imposed on men ill the service. Whether a man lasts out the strain and con tinues capable of his own best efforts is apt to depend on hidden qualities un suspected iu peace time even by the man himself. Physical, moral and mental attributes all are put. to the test by war. Those who prove equal to the strain, that is to say those iho remain young, are the men who must handlo the work. Beyond this it is the first sea lord's purpose to make certain that every man iu the service finds the right billet, as far as war's acid test indicates tho way. No effort will be spared to pre vent the hiding of real talent1. The rule of seniority will not be a barrier. Meeting the new first sea lord was rather an interesting experience. "Greatest interest hero Weymss' per sonality. Mail character sketch anec dotes etc," said a cablegram from New York. Ransacking newspaper libraries revealed that all the real information that had been printed concerning Weymss could be told iu a couple of , pa-igrapus. n effort was made through the cus tomary channels to obtain an interview with the subject himself. It wa3 a complete failure, he knew him, he said; knew him in Scotland when a boy, went to school with him, seen a lot of him -since. "Let's see," the colonel went on, " why, hang it' all, there aren't any stories about Bosie!" Pried my way iuto the presence of Sir Kosslyn 's private secretary. He rum maged around iu his memory awhile and gave up the job. Said he knew a man who would cerl.ninlv know rill there wns to know about the man of mystery, how- ever. Introduced to Admiral ; . :4cli aid How To Gain It Instead of Exercises, Patent Foods and medicines. Take Phosphate with Your Meals The demand todav is for men and women who are strong in every sense of the word possessing the physical strength necessary to endure hardships and tatigue; the mental strength to grapple with difficult problems; the nervous force which endows tho bodv with vigor and vitality; the will pow er to triumph over adversity and turn ileti-at into victory. . But such glorious strength is impos sible so long as your nerves are weak and exhausted, and therefore if you would be really strong you must first care .for your nerves. Weak, exhausted nerves need food, and for this purpose physicians strongly recommend the use of the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro-pliosphate and put up in 5-gr. compressed tasteless tablets. Jf you feel vour strength is failing from any cause, eet sjnipplr of these bitro-phosphato tablets and take one witn every meal. Practically all of the minor ailments afflicting mankind, as well &s manv of the more serious mal adies, can be traced to nervous exhaus tion and lowered vitality, and probab ly this explains why such a remarkable improvement in the general health is invariably noticeable when bitro-phos-phate U taken as directed, as t he nerves are hereby revitalized and made strong.

He asked mo to wait a minute, went out, returned and led me down the hall. Stopping outside a door, Se said. "Now. you can stop inside here just five min utes no more. The man I'll introduce to you knows Sir Kosslyn better than anybody else." The man he introduced to me was a naval officer of slightly less than med ium height, sturdily built. Above a humorous smile, he wnre a monocle. If it hadn't been for the singlo eyeglass, I should not have recognized him as the first sea lord. His portraits do him an injustice. Prom them one gets chiefly the impression of smooth, unworried youthfulness; but from tho man himself the first impression .obtained and the one that remains with you is that of forcefulness, a reserved yet command ing strength. When 1 recounted the trouble I'd had penetrating the camouflage about him, he seemed to enjoy it, but remarked, "You wouldn't put that down to extra ordinary cleverness on my part, would you?" "Keally," he said, "there isn't much you can tell about me, I've been lucky that's all." And he insisted on letting it go at that. Before the meager fivo minutes had elapsed, however, he had given me his views on youth and seniority ,a sub ject productive of more newspaper edi torials and discussion by naval experts than perhaps any other one thing in reeent months. Everything else about him has been told. The fact' tljat his mother was the granddaughter of William IV and the beautiful Mrs. Jordan; that it was at Wemyss Castle ,adjoiniug Sir Doug las Haig 's estate in Scotland, where Mary, Queen of Scots, met and fell in lovo with Dariiley, whom she married a few months later. That he entered the navy when .13 and progressed steadily until the debarkation of the troops from Gallipoli found him in charge of the naval end of it, as a rear admiral, and managing that incredibly hazardous en terprise as smoothly as though it were all iu the day 's routine. Tho Toledo Sratinel understands that enough rails have been purchased to build six miles of standard gauge railroad, which indicates to it "that it is the imrpcse of the spruce contractors to build to f'iletz at any rate."
