Quite contrary 20 the usual custom.

The William and Mary football

was called in pouring rain, which
continued without abating until n,
lsst few minutes Of play. The team
did not play with It's usual spirit
but this was no more than was TO b,
expected as the game was arranged
purely for the financial benefit ex-
Pected. Owing to the rain. how
ever. only little over half OF the
hundred dollar guarantee was Sc
cured.
The game was close and much
enthusiasm was displayed by the
enthusiasts who came out 10 back

first half here was no scoring but
the rall was kept in William and
Marv territory nearly all the time.

Work is being rushed on the new
athletic field. The board fencing

at an early date. The contract calls
Tor the completion of all the work

The Phi Beta Kappa celebration
Saturday night was an unusually

society. The society is the most
famous literary organization in
America and ali who are in anyway
connected with William and Mary
are proud of il; justly so. too. for
Phi Beta Kappa. although il has
many chapters scattered through the
north and south. is essentially a
William and Mary organization.
1t was here that the germs OF the
society originated and were per
fected. The idea originated with a
few bright students OF the college,
destined afterward to become the
most famous men in Americas his
tory. IN the stirring times preceding
the Revolution At this time. how
ever, the organization was not the
same as at present. Il remained for
later generations TO turn the society
into an organization requiring dis
unguished service in letters or sci
enoeas prerequisite for membership.
Today. il is regarded as the
highest honor even among the mos,
distinguished men Of the time. to
wear the badge Of the society and
particularly to be enrolled among the
members Of Alpha. the mother
chapter. The personnel Of this BODY
Of men IS clearly shown by the fact
that IN every meeting of a literary
kind held in the state. members OF
Alpha are almost invariably at the
mead OF it.
And so. the people of Williams
burg are proud of il. and always
flock 70 the celebrations. for it IS
one Of the few remaining relics OF
the little towns glorious past.

Jellied Chicken.

Take a large chicken, and after
carefully cleaning and washing it, cut
it up as though going to stew it.
Then place the pieces on a meat
board, and pound them with a potato
beater until all the flesh is mashed
and the bones thoroughly crushed.
Place them in a double boiler and
pour over them m quart of filtered
cold water. Stir in one level tea
spoonful of salt, fill the lower part OF
the double boiler with cold water, and
set it where the water will boil.
From time to time open the upper
part Of the double boiler where the
chicken. is, and stir it round. Add
no more water to the chicken, but
fill the lower part from time to time
as the water boils away, always
adding boiling water after the water
has begun to boil the first time. Let
the chicken cook at least six hours,
then take it off and strain through a
fine sieve into a bowl. Set away to
cool. When cold skim off the grease,
which will rise to the top. Under.
meath you will find a clear hard jelly.
This may be served cold, a table.

THE DECEITFUL FARMER.
His Outrageous Traffic in "atereo
Stock.

We might we'll cease our railing
at Rockefeller; the farmer is the real
monopolist. We might as well quit
hammering Hartman and cusslne
Carnegie until we can squeeze the
water out of the farm produce. Fol
the farmer is caught with the goods,
and science tells US the exact proper
ton of the water in his truck
For example, beef is 76.5 per e
water, mutton rs, lamb 63.9, ana
pork 60.9. Such a watering of stock
Is enough to make a traction monop-
olist look like a drought in the desert.
Milk is IT to 88 per cent. water
and cream 1922 to 4S, and this is even
before it has come in contact with the
pump. Potatoes, our old reliable
spuds, are 1877 per cent. water, vans
1875, carrots, 85.7, cabbage S9.6, tur-
nips 80, spinach 500, muchrooms
e3.7. and cucumbers SO. What com-
fort is there for a vegetarian in SUCH
figures as these?
And even the stalwart onion, the
Goliath Of the grocery, IS S9.l per
cent. water! Only a smell more than
10 per cent. of real onion!
Fruits are IS to 80 per cent. water,
and early spring strawberries are
nearly all water, and sour water at
that! Even the great American hen
has seemingly been corrupted by our
modern methods, and eggs are S5.7
per cent. water.
And is this water capitalized? 1t
it? Look at your grocery bills and
behold! At the sight of them we are
almost ready to sing a new 'Marsel-
laise," to cry, "Conspuez lie farmer!
A bas his watered stock" But we
refrain. Secretary Wilson tells us
that the farmers boy insists on com
ing to the city. Let the deluded VIC
tim come. Let him hasten to his I'M
doing. Let us send u boy out to
run the farm, and the next genera
ton shall see our revenge!-MilWau-

One Little Screw.

Advertising is a subtle science, so
subtle, in fact, that by most Of the
people it is regarded as more or less
Of a game of chance. This is a mis-
take. There is nothing in the world
more certain than advertising if it is
properly done. You can make a fail
ure in anything-any line of business
If you do not go about it with a
full understanding of its details and
careful attention to them. Leave one
single, little, insignificant screw out
of a locomotive, and sooner or later
there is going to be a smash-up.
Whenever advertising doesn't pay
there is a loose screw or a lost one
some place. Two many advertisers
do not look beneath the surface

found for her. absolutely nothing

Irving suggested that she might
look after the cats. The manager
telephoned back that there were al

To Make inexpensive Ties.

Take an old four-in-hand tie and
rip it apart carefully to get the pat
tern. I make them of pieces of light
print, white waist goods. bingham,
chambray or silk and some of them
could not be distinguished from 81
ties. I use a single thickness of
white cotton to line the cotton ones,
but use fannelette for the silk ones.
They are easily laundered lido not
starch them and will outwear a doz-

look fresher and are so inexpensive
one can have.a large variety to choose
from, Try it, especially if You have
boys in your family.-Boston Post.
