The card started with a . battle royal between youths with the unanimous decision to Kid Hodson for his speed and general agressive-nes- s. Archie Sellers got the decision over Snub Peterson, both of Provo, in the next bout, which proved fast and furious. The award by Referee Leaf was decidedly unpopular as everyone seemed to think a draw would have been a fairer decision.

The above announcement appeared in the students funny paper at the Ohio State university at Columbus, Ohio, while Miss Eggertsen was in attendance at the National Intercollegiate Association of Women Students. Miss Eggertsen enjoyed the joke immensely, especially as it was the means of her forming the acquaintance of a number of very agreeable young men. "Oh, I enjoyed myself so much, beamed Miss Eggertsen; first it was a novelty to them to see a girl from Brigham Young; then they became curious, and wanted to know me. I lost nothing by telling them frankly duce.

This story of his life tells how he got 2 5 cents for the first two weeks work he ever did in his life. Now, at 42, he is reputed to be worth several million dollars. Saunders was born in Palmyra. Tenn., and his family was poor. The first thing Clarence Saunders ever sold was a five-cepackage of cigarettes, and the first job he had was during the Christmas holidays in the general store at Palmyra. His boss hadnt discussed wages with Clarence when he hired him. and at the end of the fortnight he asked the boy, What would be right for the time and toil that had been i . spent? Clarence ",!Whatever you think, answered. Heres a quarter, the boss said. Thank you, replied Clarence. And neither thought there was anything out of the ordinary or unusual in the proceedings, because wages were low in the Cumberland valley in those days. (Continued I His Home State Dr. Stanley M.
