CARPENTIER STOPS COOK IN
\ FOURTH ROUND AT LONDON
London, Jan. 12—(By A. P.)—
Georges Carpenticr, heavyweight
champion boxer of Europe won his
mutch here tonight against George
Cook, the Australian heavyweight.
He knocked Cook out in the fourth
round.
A straight left to Uie chin and a
right to the jaw floored Cook for the
W)urt. Ife was up on one knee when
the referee, Jack Smith finished the
count. He was up on one knee when
Tl'.e weights were announced as
Cook ISO pounds and Carpenticr 170
pounds.
In the opening round Carpenticr
was the first to lead, scoring with
both his left and right without a re
turn. Cook tried lor a right swing,
but missed. Considerable in-fight fol
lowed in which neither man had any
marked advantage. Cook took a
nasty blow on the ribs, hut himself
scored well toward the close of the
round.
Both men sparred cautiously at
the beginning of the second round.
Carpenticr landed a left hook to the
Jaw and easily evaded un attempt at
a counter. The Australian had the
better of the in-fighting which en
sued and twice sent home hard lefts
which surprised Carpentier, who
continually failed to find openings for
his right.
In the third Carp, landed a light
left to the chin, but at close quar
ters Cook fought hard. Carpentier’s
best work seemed to be at long
range. Near the end of the round
the Frenchman scored well with
lefts and rights to the head and
body, and it was easily his round.
The Australian caught Carpentier
with a blow to the jaw after the bell
had sounded and was cuutloncd by
the referee.
Early in the fourth round the
fighting was mostly at close quarters.
Carpentier twice landed lefts to the
head and Cook scored to the chin.
The Australian then rushed Carpen
tier but only to meet with a straight
left to the jaw and two rights to the
same place, which ended the bout.
There was considerable betting
prior to the fight with Carpentier tho
favorite at 5 to 2.

Over Forty Hebron
Boys Out For Track
Hebron, .Mo., Jan. 12—(Special)—
The opening of tho track season at
Hebron has brought to light several
new men who have possibilities of
making good athletes. Wednesday
afternoon Coach Charley Dwyer held
the first trials in the cage of the
Cook Gymnasium. Ail the candidates
(or the relay team were put through
fast practice. The first- tryouts for
the running broad jump revealed at
least ono new man who has the mak
ings of a good broad jumper, Jimmy
! Cotter of New Haven. He was sub
I stitute half back on last fall’s cham
F pionship football team where several
j touchdowns were due to his speed.
| Although Cotter lias never broad
J jumped in any meet, lie shows good
form and with due coaching lie ought
i to be worthy to represent Hebron.
Tho interest that Hebron men are
taking in the. track this year seems
to be increasing. When tho call was
sounded by Coacli Dwyer only a week
ago, there were only 3<i mf*Tb out.
Tills number lias now increased un
til the number is well above 40.
The boys are training hard and will
attempt to go to Bowdoin on March
4 in the best possible physical condi
tion. They will probably have to go
up against Exeter and Huntington
as well as the Maine schools
In a speech before all the boys of
Hebron Wednesday night. Headmas
ter Howlctt spoke of athletics at
Hebron and expressed tho wish that
iliey might always have a prominent
place in the life of the school.

MR. AND MRS. STOTTS
GjtfTS TO LIBRARY
'The New Tear’s gift of Mr. and
Mrs. George Stott tb the Oakland
Public Library la worthy of reoognl
tlon. It consists of aU recently pub
lished books, each of which has some
special quality of value and Interest.
The “Biography of Queen Victoria"
by Lytton Stretchy stands high
among the publications of the past
year, reviewers asserting that It is
the best biography in the English
language. It Is an expensive hook
and library Is fortunate In acquiring
it. Another valuable work Is "Father
Duffy's Story." A tale of humor and
heroism, of Ilfs and death, with the
Fighting Sixty-ninth and other unite
o fthe Rainbow Division. Someono
has said: “This living record of
‘gray days and gold' will be read and
remembered wherever courageous
youth is known and loved.” "Won
ders of War in the Air.” by Francis
Roife-Wheeler is a realistic story of
the “Fighters of the Air" with «2
illustration* from war photographs
and sketched. It is a book that will
interest men as well as boys. Mr.
and Mrs. Stott recognised the rlslms
of the younger readers, completing
their gift with the Thornton Burgess
“Wishing-Stone Series" In three vol
umes; ‘Tommy and the Wiahlng
Stone.” “Tommy’s Wishes Come
True,” “Tommy’s Change of Heart.”
These books have many colored pic
tures and are among the most attrac
tive of the stories by the children’s
favorite author.
Many valuable additions were
made to the library during Decem
ber; Miss Clarissa Wheeler pur
chased expressly as a Christmas
present to the Oakland Public Libra
ry one of the most attractive and in
teresting of the 1921 books for girls
entitled “Then Came Caroline,” by i
Lila Richards Howe. This- Is a !
kindness that will glvs pleasure to
many girls front 12 to 16 years.
Lawrence Leavitt hae also shown
generous thought of others In giving
three of the Thorton Burgess “Bed
time Stories,” of which the children j
never tire. "Adventures of Reddy
Fox,” “Chatterer, the Squirrel,” i
"Jerry Muskrat.” A new Story of
California, “The Pride of Palomar,”
by Peter Kyne, has been received
from Mrs. Lester Andrews. It |
touches upon the Japanese peril and
ranks high among recent fiction. ;
Mrs. Guy Buleier gave a new copy j
of Bertram Sinclair’s popular story,
"Big Timber.” Miss Marlon Brown I
has again remembered the library
with an interesting book. “Richard
Chatterec,” by Ruby Ayres. From ;
the same good friend who in No- i
vetnber gave 610 to the librarian to ;
use for children's books, has come
another present, “Sister Sue," by
Eleanor Porter, and “Old Rose and j
Sliver,” by Myrtle Reed. Mr*. An
drew Knox, who has in the past
given many desirablo books to the
library, has shown her continued in
terest by the gift of 12 volumes.
These are books that Mrs. Knox
has read and desires to pass on to !
to other readers. They are all In ;
pood condition and are ny wen
known authors such ns Zane Grey.
Joseph Lincoln, Grace Richmond,
John Fox, Jr.. Bertrand Sinclair, etc.
A charming little book for children
from five to seven has been con
tributed by Mrs. Frank L. Given.
It Is “Bobby and the Big Road," by
Maud Lindsey, and tells how Bobby
and his father follow the “Big Road"

Praa. Fogg's Address
Never has there been a tlmo In the
history of the newspaper in ths Stato
of Maine when ths Influence which Is
being exerted by the papers in ths
several counties, counted for as much
as it docs today and there are very
few of you gentlemen present today
who realize the power to mould public
opinion that is within your grasp.
During the unofficial meetings of the
Press Congress of the World, which
I attended, It was discovered that the
papers which exerted the most In
fluence In any community wera not
ilm “big" dallies, so called with ths
circulations mounting into the thous
ands that wars moulding publls Opin
ion, but the smaller ones in cities of
25 to 50 thousands, whose editors were
known personally to the great ma
jority of its readers that wars ths
power of the communities, rather
than the huge papers like the New
York Times, the Chicago Tribune and
others of a like nature. These larger
papers are read more for the "news"
than for any Interest that tha reader
might have in knowing or caring,
what the editor might think person
all v, for the most of the large dalllea
referred to etbove are conducted by
corporations Which are organised
more for the purposes of giving fair
returns to ita stockholder! than for
any personal interest in the psople
or the towns and cttles In Which they
circulate and what is true of the
smaller dallies la squally a# true of
the weeklies for they held the same
relative position to the peoplp where
they circulate. The large dailies are
doing#perhaps more for their sub
scribers than the smaller papers are,
but the personal element is missing
and that perhaps Is one of the rea
sons why the representation of the
larger papers at the prese congress
was not aa large as ef tbs smaller
papers. The representation di pagan

"In New York City thci - are C30 to
HOO homicides every year, and not
half of them sro even mentioned l»y
the newspapers. The details of every
one are known In every newspaper
Othce, but nothing la printed l>r<au»«
they possess no Patur* of general
public Interest. Now had the Mg
banquet or the murders or the other
things happened In a small town the
editor would have printed Columns,
for the very good reason that lt»
smaller rotnniumt'ea everybody
knows everybody else and all ars In
terested In one another. K\crybody
who attended the banquet would bo
especially Interested in the account
of It for rrople like to rend about
things in v. hlch they tHcmsclvcs par
ticipate."
Never before has the financial con
dition of the editors and printers
been as good as during the pnst year,
for all those who survived the hard
ships Incident to the war, have com*
to realise that the printer whether ha
be one producing Job work or pub
lishing a newspaper Is entitled to a
profit of his labor and material Just
the same as a grocer, clothlor or any
other merchant and It la only when
a man in the printing business com
mences to learn something of big
overhead costs and the percentage of
productive time, in relation to his
chargeable time, that be will com
mence to see that in order to live and
pay his bills be must take In more
money than he pays out. This condi
tion can only be brought out by a
thorough system of education whlch^
may be obtained by studying trade
journals, joining press associations,
etc., and coupled with a good atlff
■pine, enabling him to charge a fair
profit for his output.
Another great help to any man la
our profeseton Is for -him to take ad
vantage of every opportunity of get*
ting In touch with what other mta
In the same business are doing by at
tending such meetings as this or
meetings of the county associations
the aam« as we have m Aroostook,
[ ana tty Keeping: in touch with what
I others are doing: In the same busi
ness.
In some Instances more car* «
should be given In the editing of our
i papers, for if we realize the influence
that a paper may exert in the com
munity in which it circulates, then
care must bo given to the best
there is in us to our readers. This
idea was very ably expressed in a
paper read at the meeting of the
press congress by James Wright
Brown, editor of the Editor and
Publisher of Now York, when ho
said:
"We all agree, I am sure, that the
press should be used In far greater
measure than at present, to promul
gate ideas: scandals, crimes and so
called crimson nows have occupied
the columns of newspnpers the world
over since the signing of the armis
tice, to tho exclusion the Mve and
vital International and domestic prob
lems that must Inevitably engage tho
attention of the thoughtful peoples of
the world.
"With us In the states we have had
the Hamon murder case, the Htlllmnn
divorce case and the Arhucklc scan
dal all over our front pages for
months past. Professional baseball
and other sports have been given
apace all out of proportion to their
Importance and I for ons have felt
that this was just a natural and In
evitable reaction from the gooae
stopplng of war do ye, Just a massing
phase, on the road to more militant
public sendee by the f reea than cvr>r
before. American puhlishrra ar<»
Ending out that the clean dependable,
reliably accurate newapa|>er. Is the
newspaper that wins and hold* public
confidence and sound financial sup
port and It has been cicarty demon
strated In American Journalism that
character Is the first essential to sue
oese.',
These are a few of the things which
go to make up a successful printing •
or publishing business and are farts
which have been tried out by the suc
cessful men In the business.
The printing and publishing hits'
ness of today has taken a position
second to none in the country and It
Is up to svsry editor and publisher
to see that tho dignity of the profes
sion is upheld snd that ths oppor
tunities which svery man connected
with a newspaper has, should not ho
allowed to slip by without taking ad
vantage of them. The newspaper Is
a power in every community and as
such ths editor should not consider
that his duty Is to tie himself to tho
paper alone, but as a citlsen of any
esnudunity should work for tho wel-.
fans of that community by taking an
interest In the doings of tho town
and community where ho live* for
this would Indeed be n sorry old
world if eyery man in it was not
willing to give of Tils talents tor ths
benefit of ths community In which he
lives,
I hope that during tho sessions
that ws are to enjoy that everyone
or those present will feel ns though
they were held for his especial bene
fit and If there Is anything that any
one wishes to know somo of us will
try end answer his questions, for It
Is only by asking questions and dis
