English Boxer
Touted a Comer
London, l>eo. 11.—Unless he forgets
himself and does something rash, Ted
“Kid” Lewis apparently has developed
a "meal ticket” In the person of Ro
land Todd, which should prove Justi
fiable for quite a spell. The twain
have been matched for their second
meeting, the bout to take place the
third week in February, and It !h not
Unreasonable to predict that still fur
ther engagements will be necessary
to settle the question of supremacy
between them.
Todd is a, former sparring partner
of Lewis and therefore absorbed most
pf his tricks from llie man he is try
ing to conquer. It Is extremely doubt
ful, however, if he has learned enough
to enable him to lift the European
middleweight crown from Lewi^'
brow at this stage of his development'.
Todd is an Eqgllsh youth of about
tO summers, who Is regarded by
British boxing experts as one of the
most promising mlddlewelghts the
country has produced In many years,
lie Is a quiet, unassuming lad, who
wears such honors as he lias achieved
with becoming modesty.
The particular phase of the mitt
game in which Todd shines is dc
"etise. He has perfected the art of
taking care of himself to such a de
gree that he Is a very difficult man
0 reach with a knockout wallop.
If T<»M can develop an offensive
ittack to combine with his defensive
Utilities he undoubtedly will become
1 very capable middleweight scrap

Buffalo Scrapper Takes Three
By RALPH WAGNER.
.W E SHADE. California welterweight boxer, eliminated
another opponent from his path to a bout with Champion
Mickey Walker when he won.a referee's decision over
Frankie Schoell, Buffalo, at the end of their 10-rOund
lx,ut nt the City auditorium Friday night.
The largest crowd that has ever witnessed a fistic
of any kind in Omaha pushed, shoved and filed
ough the fight shed doors. Every available seat in
the shack was occupied and the thousands or Tans went
to bed l ist night satisfied.;that they had seen the best
Scrap of the year and had also cast their glowing glim
mers on tlje lad.who is bound to give Mickey Walker
plenty of trouble, should they clash.’
The referee's decision in favor of Shade, was received
with applause by many. However, there are quite a few
v ho seem to differ with the third man in the arena.
Some fans are of the opinion that It was a good draw;
that Scboell landed ns many hard, stinging blows as
Shade, and that the Buffalo lad was as fresh at the end
as his speedy little opponent.

blows that slowed Shade up in Ills
work. The latter was the fastest of
the two and had a defense against
Schoell’s attacks that puzzled the Buf

Both missed many blows, but of the.
two. Sliade succeeded in making his
rival miss his mark the most times.
Schoell had an uppercut that If it
had ever landed on Shude's jaw Vould
have rocked Dave to sleep. However,
the clever Shade was wide awake
throughout the 1') fruhtes and when
Frankie picked his uppercut off the
floor, Shade picked up his heels and
managed to get out of the r.Vtd of
said blow.
Neither Mun in Trouble.
Not once during tlie bout was i

best and when he went to his corner
the crowd cheered wildly.

Schoell's followers were on their

of the fight, but it was only the short

Increase of 23 Per Cent
Shown in Pieces Sold—
Earnings Are
$7,348,421.
Akron, O.. Dec. 16.—With the low
est prices experienced in the history
' of tiro making, and in the faro of
keenest competition, the Firestone
Tire and Rubber company’s, sales for
1 the fiscal year, ending October 31,
were $64,507,301.77, representing an
increase of 23 per cent‘‘in pieces sold
over the previous year, according to
a statement made yesterday to stock*
holders at their annual meeting by
Harvey S. Firestone, president of the
company.
The .company's earnings, after pro
viding for depreciation. Interest, taxes
and other charges, were $7,348,421.59.
After payment of preferred dividends
and miscellaneous charges there was
shown a net Increase of $16 per share
in the common stock equity.
The company’s bank indebtedness
was reduced from $21,680,000 at the
beginning of tbe fiscal year to $12,
775,000 at its close, meaning a reduc
tion of nearly $9,000,000.
Mr. Firestone expressed optimism
regarding the outlook for the coming
year.
"We enter the new year.” lie said,
"with nur factories running at un
diminished production, operating at
the highest point of efficiency yet at
tained and producing the best qual
ity tire In our history. Sales and dis
tribution methods have been simpli
fied. resulting in marked decrease in
cost; our dealer organization enlarged
and strengthened. Inventories have
been very conservatively valued, and
our commitments for raw material
are on a most favorable basis.
•‘However,” said Mr. Firestone,
“unless the action taken by England
and certain colonipl governments j
relative to production and exporta
tion of crude rubber is rescinded or
modified in a drastic manner, the
effects of this uncalled-for legislation
will be far-reaching. The limiting
of production and exportation already
lias caused an increase of 100 per
cent in the cost of tho crude product
since announcement of the new pro
gram was made in October.
“This present advance represents
an increased cost to the United States
of over *100,000,000 on Its estimated
consumption for 1923. This must be
passed on to the tire user.
“This is .the time for the United
States to pass such legislation as will
encourage American capital to de
velop rubber plantations in the
Philippine Islands, where the Soil and
climatic conditions are equal to any
in tho rubber producing belt, andj
negotiate with South American re
publics to develop production in their
rubber regions."

Stearng-Knight Agency
Opened by Leon Nelgon
Leon Nelson, president of the
Stearns-Knight Auto Sales company
of Omaha, has been a booster for
Steafns cars for six years. Nelson
Brothers at Lincoln own and use six
Stearns-Knights.
"We are pleased with the Stearns

Record Broken at Flint

Cadillac’s production schedule for
December will be one of the two
greatest December schedules in Its
history, according to J. H. Hansen,
distributor for the Cadillac In Oma
ha, Lincoln and Sioux City.
“W. P. Abbey, district manager for
tho Cadillac factory, spent last week
with me and outlined some of the
plans of tho factory for meeting tho
demand, it has been the custom of
the factory to shut down two weeks
in December to take inventory. This
plan lias been abandoned for this
yea/, and the factory will run straight
through with a gradual speeding up
in production. This makes employ
ment for thousands of automobile
workers, not only during these two
weeks, but during tho entire winter
months, for the factory is adding
workers and extra machines are being
installed In almost every manufactur
ing department to make heavier pro
duction possible.
“January and Fobruary, ordinarily
lean months In motor car manufac
ture, will be big months in Cadillac

INSURED INVESTMENTS.
I am introducing a new kind of insur
ance. You probably have life insurance
and may have your home insured, but have
you ever had the opportunity to insure
your investments. 1 am selling stock in
an enterprise that should pay very large
dividends, and the stock is insured against
the loss of the money invested by a strong
company with a capital of $1,500,000, and
to further secure your investment, the in
surance company deposits real estate »e
curities with a trust company to hold
until you investment is paid.
So you have 3 large companies behind
your investment, the one you invest in,
the insurance company and the trust com-,
pany that holda stakes.
The investment I am offering is a very
promising one and if you have a few dol
lars you wish to place where it will earn
you large returns without any ri?k on
your part, I will be pleased to send you
full particulars on request.

LINCOLN
SERVICE
The satisfaction to be derived from the operation of an
automobile is in direct proportion to its duality, the facih
V .tries provided for its maintenance and the care which it
receives. Only when these elements are well balanced docs
the purchase of a motor car become a good investment.
to * ' »
Lincoln owners know that Lincoln cars
in ordinary usage demand little attention
other than the replenishment-of-gaso
line, oil and water. That is because the
service requirements of motor cars arc
in inverse ratici to the quality and char
acter. built into them by the manu
- facturers....
Periodic inspection, proper lubrication
and minor adjustments, when necessary,
■ are essential to the proper and prolonged
functioning of any piece of machinery.
With quality as a prime factor, it is the
secret of economical and dependable
transportation.
To insure the operation of Lincoln cars
as a source of uninterrupted satisfaction
and enjoyment, through the medium of
adequate and convenient service facili
ties, it is the purpose of the Ford Motor
Company that its entire dealer organi
sation be equipped to render efficient
and intelligent service to Lincoln owners.
Thousands of Ford Dealers in the United
States are being equipped with specially
trained Lincoln men, competent to make
minor adjustments and of providing for
ordinary service requirements.
Under this arrangement, a Lincoln
Owner, whether touring a continent or
crossing his own city, may with confi
dence enter a Ford Dealer’s place of
business and be assured of prompt, cour
teous and intelligent treatment by an
organisation with a personal interest in
his welfare.
It is not intended, or necessary, that all
Ford Dealers be equipped to do major
repair work or overhauling on Lincoln r
cars. Adequate provision is made, how
ever, whereby such work will be done
in each territory, when necessary, by
dealers who arc especially equipped to
render high grade service in keeping with
the character of the product.
Wc believe that the Lincoln will run
farther and require less mechanical
attention than any other car in the
world. It is significant and a matter of
utmost importance to prospective own
ers of quality cars that the incomparable,
world-wide facilities of the Ford Motor
Company should make the ownership
of a Lincoln even more desirable than
ever before.
