BRIGHT

If the testimony adduced at the

For fifteen years Brown has been hunt

finding them is an easy matter when one
knows how. A dozen rattlerS in a single
nest is not an unusual record for Brown.
One day last fall while working in the
hills south Of La Crosse, he killed thirty
one snakes. The next day he foraged in
nearby townships and killed twenty-seven.
The following day he killed forty-two.

President Diaz is deeply interested in the

made in the past few years In the direc-

"One thing which impressed me greatly
about Pres Gent DiaZ," continued Mr.

such broad knowledge of the forestry

as one might expect to find in thorough

needs of his country In this direction

which the conservation commission will

rapidly adopting modern methods of farm

Mexico is not following copying

Is stated on good authority that Capt.
Jack Carney, the big Holy Cross first
sacker. is slated for the Philadelphia
Athletics at the close of the college sea-
son. Carney broke into the base ball
arena at Holy Cross in the spring of 1907
Carney had tried out for the pitching
staff, and though possessed of tremen-
dous speed. he had more than the ordi-
nary southpaw's share of wildness, and
failed to land.
DIR. Carney, the present coach, put the
big fellow on the initial sack. and his
work that season stamped him as the
best first baseman in the college world.
