Jack Dempsey will delend his world's heavyweight champion ship title Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the arena in Jersey City against Georges Carp en tier, French heavyweight and holder of the European title. The con test promises to surpass anything of its kind in ring history. It will bring together two of the greatest gladiators of modern times in a test of brain, brawn and skill. The team representing the Rockingham Tennis Club played the team from Candor here last Friday, and the local team won the match. Fairley and Zack Long played for Rham and Ever ett and Paul Clark for the Can dor club. The score was 3-6, 7-5, 7-5. On Monday afternoon the Long brothers played Nash and Homer LeGrand, representing the Ham- et club, and again our boys came out victors, winning -o, 6-3, it not being necessary for the third set. Refreshments of chocolate and peach ice cream and cones were served to the spectators while the game was in progress. Games will be arranged with other towns, and later in July the club will have a doubles tournament. In the singles tournament re cently held Miss Emma Gray Ledbetter came out .ahead. In the men's singles the result has narrowed down to a decision be tween Fairley and Zack Long, and this will be played off in a day or so. this, woody taste. , j Rockingham should have its; . i a. a I own water, supply dui we nave confidence in the town authori ties to believe that they will leave no stone unturned to secure a better service.

On June 8th Admiral Sims made a speech in London wherein he strongly attacked the Sinn Fein propaganda now being waged in this country, and re ferred to the assistance rendered by the Sinn Fein in southern Ire land to the Germans in the recent war. As a result of this speech, Secretary of the Navy Denby cabled the Admiral to return home at once. But after cab'ing the recall, the Secretary and Ad ministration began "hearing' from the people. Practically all the big dailies carried columns of short letters commending Admir al Sims and denouncing the Sinnj Fein propaganda. And one of the best of these short letters that the editor of the Post-Dispatch read appeared in the New York Times from Prof. George W. Pas chal of Wake Forest College. In compliance with the Naval Secretary's order for his return, Admiral Sims reached Washing ton last week, reported to the Secretary and was duly repri manded. The Admiral took the "repreinand" in good spirit, for he as well as the people realize that it was indiscreet for him as an Admiral to discuss political matters in a foreign country, But even at that", there are many people who think he rendered a distinct public service in speaking out as he did; and no where in the "reprimand" is the matter of the Admiral's bold speech con demned. Secretary Denby warily avoided that rock. Instead he reprimanded the Admiral for publicly talking about interna tional matters in a foreign coun try, and said never a word about th TRUTH of what Admiral Sims said. , . The Sinn Fein propaganda has gone far enough, and the discord ant element that is trying to cause friction between England and the United States should be booted out of the country. . 33 inches .-.Waist 31 inches 16 1-2 inches.. ..Neck 16 3-4 inches 7 1-2 inches Wrist 7 1-4 inches 16 14 inches. ...Biceps 14 1-2 inches 15 1-4 inches Calf 16 3-4 inches 9 inches.

This analysis shows there are no colon bacilli either in 1 c. c. or 10 c. c. and no acid producing bacteria. The alkalinity (in terms of Calcium carbonate) 137. Total number of bacteria at 38 C. per c. c. is 800. The report shows there are no acid-producing bacteria m the water. Acid-producing bacteria in most cases are colon bacilli or other bacteria which indicate pollution.. So this analysis shows our drinking water to be free ot pollution. Speaking of "colon bacilli" it is interesting to note that typhoid bacteria do not origi hate in water. They get into water only from contact with human beings or from human ex creta. Their isolation from water is a rare occurrtnee, though un fortunately their presence is not so rare. The purity of water must be estimated by other means, chief of which is the pres ence or absence of the Colon bac illus. And this analysis made last week shows that the drink ing water of the town of Rock has no colon bacilli. However, there has been un questionably an oder about the water that smelled of swampy roots and a kind of woody smell and taste. A large number of complaint's have been heard as to this condition both here and in Hamlet. Town Commissioner R R. Simmons went to Hamlet Wed nesday to personally investigate He visited the source ot the sup ply, the lake above Boyd's lake, and then had a talk with Mr.' Bauersfeldt, of the Hamlet Water Company. The lake is a new one, being in use about three months, and it has a splendid head of water which is cleanly looking; but being a new body of water there is much undergrowth and stumps. And this probably accounts for the woody taste. However, other than the taste, the water is entirely pure from a health standpoint, according to the State Board of Health analy sis .made last week. It is free from pollution. Mr. Bauersfeldt states that the State Board of Health required them to use an extra amount of alum since the pond was a new one, and pos sibly this extra amount has been cutting rust from the pipes and catfeing the bad taste. At any i rate, Mr. Bauersfeldt this week 7th took the matter up with the at The State Board of Health to see if Look for it . anything could be done to remedy " Anna in in1 tAr Sodas end Fancy (Mnjg& Our rich, pure ice cream Is splendid, healthful FOOD.
