HOLY CROSS ATHLETES
TRAINING EARL

Training for the usual winter sports is
now occupying the attention of the Holy
Cross athletes.
On account of the forming of the New
England intercollegiate League much in
terest is being shown in basketball, which
heretofore has been given little attention
at Holy Cross. Last year a team repre-
senting Holy Cross was on the floor, but
1t was run Independent of the athletic as
ISOLATION. This year it has been made a
part of the association, and the progress
of the team is being watched with great
interest
All of last years team are playing with
the exception of Quinn, who did not re-
turn to college. His place at left for
ward is being filled by Landers. Connor

is playing centre, and his six feet of
height makes him an undisputed candi-
date for the position. EX-Captatn Lawlor
of the football team, who played centre
on the team last year. has been moved to
right back, and, with Monagan on the
other side, Holy Cross has a fast pair,
Capt Quigley is playing a fast game at
left forward and Is the most accurate
thrower on the team. The first college
game of the season will be with Dart
mouth tomorrow night.
The track team, under the direction Oh
j. Fred Powers has begun training ear
lier than usual this season. and, judging
from the material at hand, Holy Cross
will present a speedy team at the meets
this winter. OF last years runners, be-
sides Capt, Sullivan, Baldwin Reedy,
Carpenter OConnor, Timony, Devlin
McDonough and Forney are in training.
Among the new candidates are Brennan,
who holds the interschoastic record for
the high jump, and is also speedy man
on the track; d. ]. Sullivan, who won
the medal for the best all-around athlete
at the fall meet, and DOnahue and Dowd,
formerly of the Worcester High School.
All Of the new men are showing up
well. and the trainers are much elated at
the prospects. In former years the Holy
Cross relay team was one of the winners
at the meets, but for the past two years
no attempt has been made to put team
on the track. This year, however 1t
looks as though Holy Cross would put

hand there is every opportunity to

The Absence Of l.

If there is any truth in the saying
that happiness is the absence of all
pain, mental and physical, the enjoy
ment of it can only be found in
heaven. But so far as the physical is
concerned, it is within easy reach; at
least measurably so, as far as cure will

this line is made up OF greater or less
degrees of physical suffering. The
minor aches and pains which afflict
mankind are easy to reach and as
easily cured. There are none In the
whole category, which, If taken in
time, cannot be cured. They must
in some form afflict the nerves, the
bones, the muscles and joints of the
human body. They are all more OF
less hurtful and wasteful to the sys-
tenn. st. Jacobs Oil is made to cure
them, to search out hidden pain spots,
and to cure promptly in true reme-
dial and lasting way. Very, very
many have not known happiness for
years till they used it, and very many
are putting of cure and happiness be-
cause they don't use it.

4 MASTERPIECE IN THE WAY.

How an English Artist Escaped Win.
ming an Unenviabie Notoriety.
When Irving Montagu. the war art
list. was very young man. before he
had mastered the elementary princi-
pies of his art. he narrowly escaped an
adventure that he says would have
brought him a sudden notoriety In the
art world which few would have en-
We'd. He was wandering through
Marlborough House, then Vernon Gal
lery. with a party of friends, and as
they were exploring deserted passages.
his companions playfully shut the
door. not knowing that 1t fastened
with a spring lock. and expecting him
to turn up presently, ran off to continue
their work In the galleries.
Thus "cribbed. cabined and confin-
ed" says Montagu. remained patient
enough at first. hoping 1t would be but
q short-lived jest; but half an hour hav-
ing elapsed, my patience began to d.

means of exit.
l commenced by slowly feeling OF
the walls around me. Now. strangely
enough, and much to my relief, the
back part Of my prison house was as
flexible as IL the paper Of the adjoining
room were only strained on canvas
across 1t.
An idea struck me- Nothing could
be easier than to take my penknife and
cut a slit sufficiently long for me to
step through into the next apartment.
I was just on the point of carrying
out this idea when l heard footsteps.
and CHEEKY voice without exclaiming:
"Oh. say. old fellow. you there still!
We'd forgotten all about you till a mo-
ment ago. This is almost too much of
joke. You might have been there all
night"
Then, seeing the knife in my hand, he
inquired If had contemplated suicide
during my solitude.
Certainly not; only wasn't going to
be shut up in such place when l
found that l could cut through that
partition"
Partition! What, that canvas at the

His look Of horror startled me.

How Things Grow in Hawaii.

How great are the possibilities Of Ha-
wall as fruit and vegetable growing
country will be understood when 1t be-
comes known that four crops of pota-
toes have been produced In succession
on the same piece of land within twelve
months. Radishes become edible ten
days after sowing. Strawberry vines
bear fruit all the year. The berries are
of the finest flavor.
Cabbage grows all the year and 1t ap-
parently makes no difference whether
it Is planted in the spring, summer, au-
tumn or winter. Parsley once sown
grows forever, apparently. Lima beans
continue to grow and bear for over a
year, and they have to be gathered
every week after starting to bear. Gu
cumbers bear the entire year and so
do tomatoes, which, with proper atten-
ton. bear for years. Raspberries bear
for six months.
Pineapples come into bearing when
the plants are four months old and
bear in abundance for years. Lettuce
can be planted at any time, and 1t de-
velopes quickly. The same Is true of
celery.-Fruit Trade Journal and Pro-
duce Record.

REPAIRING FENCES.
By Using "Anchor Clamps" You Can \ axe
Your Fences a Good as New.

Your Fences a Good As New.
Every time a man goes out in the
morning and looks around his pla 6
he thinks of his fences. Are they in
good condition? Are they what ID
needed? Will they last? These
questions he asks himself, and many
times he finds himself in sore straits
as to what to do to provide bimseli
with economical and durable fences.
The matter of fences is the largest
and most important item of necessary
expense to the landholder.
There are thousands of miles OF
old barbed wire fence in the north
west. The wire is fairly good in
them-half as good as if it were new.
And yet because the wires have
sagged and some of them have become
loosened from the posts, the fence is
nearly worthless. 1t is when the
wires are loose and wabbly in barbed
wire fence that damage is done to
stock.
Have you ever noticed fence in
that condition?
A few upright stays and some
"Anchor Clamps" will repair an old
barbed wire or smooth wire fence and
make it as good as new. 1t makes
the fence as rigid and firm as when
new-and will make it last for years.
Now is the time to save money.
Wire is high, excessively high, and
an entirely new fence is an expensive
affair-if you get the best. The best
is one composed of all large and
strong wires-which cost more at first
but will last forever. You can get
along without buying new fence for
awhile by repairing the old one. The
"Anchor Clamp" is the only positive
fence lock on the market. 1t pre-
vents sagging; it prevents loose wires
it can be used on any kind of wire; it
is simple, can be applied by any one,
and it is cheap. 1t will pay you to
send for free sample and full informa-
tion to the Portland Anchor Fence
Co., 742 Nicolai ST., Portland, Ore.
