This company has this week notified all of its. agents in every city In. the United Slates that AllftderUmeni and publicity" will . be conducted .by. the head office of the'Ford Company. This means, that each agent will have no further control over the advertising of Ford Products. The object of this company's new departure along this line is to have uniform program of advertising. This Is almost impossible under the present system, and the Ford Motor Company have realized this fact for some time. The appropriation to cover the publicity work of the Ford Motor Company in the United States will run into the millions of dollars and will probably be the largest single item for this purpose ever made by any company in the world. It is only another example of the Ford way of doing business. The present move is the organization of publicity methods on a scale never before equaled in this country.

Around the ringside were men from all walks of life old men, young men, middle aged men and boys, all eager to watch their favorite fistic herb lambast the other fellow in real pugilistic style. Among the crowd were at least one hundred and fifty from other places, mostly from Fountain Green, who' had cotme over to watch the pride of. the "Wool City" Jess Stringham', put Hicks of Salt Lake in the scrap heap. On a small scale, the onlooker was reminded of what took place in New Vork recently when the great Dem-se- y met "The Wild Bull of the Pampas." The first preliminary was between Charles Christensen of this city, and This young Lundsteen of Levan. bout created considerable enjoyment and was declared a draw by referee Jones. ' 1 'The next preliminary was between Gardner and Kimball of Levan. Gardner, did the. greater part of the Jead-'in- g throuand was ghout. At the conclusion Gardner was declared the winner. Charles Stokes of Brigham City and Alebrto Velez of Mexico, furnished the excitment for the next preliminary, and it was a real go, each boxer trying hard to get in a punch that would turn the trick in his favor. Charles Stokes, was declared the winner although this decision was not received with unanimous consent by many present. The main event of the evening was next announced. This was a six round contest between the mighty Jess Stringham, champion of Idaho, and Hicks, of Salt Lake. It was plainly to be seen that Jess was the favorite as soon as he entered the ring, as he was given a big ovation by his many admirers from Fountain Green. At the tap of the gong both scrappers jumped to the center of the ring, with Stringham being the most agAfter 11 seconds of fast gressive. boxing, the ropes around the rinside broke which took a few minutes to re pair. After about 20 seconds more of boxing Stringham handed Hicks a jolt which put the Salt Lake man was apdown for the count.

LYNNDYL WINS FROM NEPHI With a six run lead at the commencement of the 6th innings Tuesday afternoon in the game with Lynn-dy- l, it looked like easy juoney for the local ball team. But you can never tell how a ball game is going tw end until the last innings is played. In the innings above mentioned, two men were already out when the boys from the railroad town commenced to slug the pellet in great fashion, and before the third man was retired, they chalked up 6 runs and tied the score. In the 8th innings the visitors added 2 more runs, while the locals were only able to add 1 more. In the 9th, both teams tried hard to score, but failed, and the game went to Lynndyl with a score of 8 to 7 in their favor. The battery for Nephi were: Bell-isto- n and Sperry, and for Lynndyl: Lindquist and Sudbury. Both pitchers twirled good ball. Umpire Geo. D. Haymond.
