PARRY IN FORM
WITH THE WEIGHTS
Maroon Athlete Gives Promise of
Broken Records in Confer
ence Meet.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service
Chicago, May 12-Not content with hurting
the discus further than a college athlete had
ever cast it before, Parry, the powerful maroon,
yesterday afternoon threw the sixteen-pound
hammer 154 feet inches.
This remarkable throw nearly comes up to the
great cast made by Thomas of Purdue, who
beat Ralph Rose at the conference last year
with the throw Of 157 feet inch
This performance Of Parry's augurs well for
Chicago's chances in the conference, and the
duel between him and Thomas should be a
pretty one, as should be the fight between the
big maroon and Garrels Of Michigan for first
honors in the Grecian weight

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

News from the orange belt shows
that 70 per cent. of the 100000
boxes of oranges and grape fruit
remaining on the trees has been
frozen. A large portion of this loss
falls upon the buyers, who bought
the crops on the trees, although
some growers have been heavily hit.
Oranges on young trees and practi-
cally all vegetables were killed, but
the grape fruit was only slightly
damaged. The temperature went
down to Is above zero.
DR.. James p. Lynch, a Chicago
specialist, is of the opinion that in
the short space of seven hundred
years all the civilized people of the
world will be crazy, unless there is
reform along many lines. Here are
the causes which he thinks will run
the whole world mad: Drink, the
use of drugs, the mad race for gain,
the worship of the dollar, the neglect
of religion, the constant overexertion
of physical endurance, mental glut-
tony, the lost art of the total relsxa-
tion of mind aud body, the high

WHO WANTS THE Josq

Some people seem to think it is
an easy matter to run a newspaper,
but one weeks experience would
likely change their opinion. Did
you ever count the words in a col
umn of the average newspaper
There are in the neighborhood of a
thousand. Now suppose you sit
down and write q thousand words
upon some subject, and then another
thousand and another until Won
have written eight or ten thousand.
Try it and seeif it's easy. Keep it up
for month"; year. Then chase
q local item all over town and after
you have gotten the facts condense
them into few lines-an hours work
that can be read in a few seconds.
Then have the item criticised and
inaccuracies pointed out when it is
too late to correct them. Think of
the complaints that come from dis
appointed subscribers when their
paper fails to arrive in due time, and
the vigorous kicks from advertisers
when there happens typographical
error or wrong position in their ad.
Remember that paper and type and
ink and presses and labor, et cetera,
all cost money, while hundreds get

lutely indifferent about paying their
subscriptions, and will not even so
