The Maryland Aggies and Catholic

E:rookland. The Farmers are hoping
for victory. although they realize that
they are up against one of the strongest
college teams in the country. Hoffecker,
the lad who beat Gallaudet in the open
ing game of the season. is the choice
of Coach Edmonson for the pitching
duty, and he thinks that he will be able
to hold his own with an even break in
the luck.
Both teams will use the same line-ups
they have in the other games they nave
played. Green will not pitch for G.. L.,
as he will be saved to face Harvard when
the BroOklanders meet the Crimson nine

Clancy will be sent in to do mound duty.

JOE TURNER WINS OUT.
Local Wrestler Defeats Kilonis in
Quick Order.

The wrestling match between Joe
Turner and John Kilonis, the Greek
champion, at the Gayety last night
demonstrated that the local man far out
classed his opponent.
The bout was fast from the start,
Turner using rushing tactics, and the
Greek, working out of one tight hold
only to get into another. found himself
pinned to the mat in twenty minutes
with a scissors and head lock.
Aftef seven minutes of lightning work
the Greek found himself defeated, Turner
picking up his opponent and dashing him
to the floor, exhausted
Immediately after the bout Kilonis
was taken to the hospital, where an ex-
animation proved he had fractured rib.
This must have occurred in the first
fifteen minutes, as the only rough work
was done then.
Lawrence Phillips, the well known an
nouncer refereed the match to the
satisfaction of all.
Announcement was made Of the coming
bout between Tom Duchesne and Sam
Anderson for next Wednesday evening.

public is apt to spur the entries in the
Remnant races and do them great harm,
by insisting on a good showing early in
the struggle. Forgetting that a six-fur-

WHY PEOPLE PEOPLE,! GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why tho
number Of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that it does, would not be so surprised
were they to accompany one Of the
numerous excursions that are being
run under the auspices Of the Govern
ment from several Of the states, and
remain with the settler until he gets
onto the free hQmesteads, which, as
stated by Speaker Champ Clark, in tho
U. S. senate the other day, comprises
$50 acres of the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditiOns. Then watch the results,
whether 1t be on this free homestead
OF $50 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre,
fully as good as the 500. and $3.50.
per acre land of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
purchasing. On the part of the mem
bers of the U. S. Senate and Congress
there is nothing but praise for Canada.
Canadian laws and Canadian lands al
though the reasonable desire is shown
IN their remarks, that they pass legis-
lation, (Which is very praiseworthy)
that will make the land laws of the
United States much easier.
1t Is the success Of the American
settler In Canada that attracts others,
and when experiences such as the fol-
lowing are related to the friend back
home" is it any wonder that increased
interest is aroused and a determina-
ton arrived at, to participate in the
new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies 1t.

lived at Alexandria, MIMI, settled in
the Alberg District near Battle River
and in writing to one of the Canadian
Government agents, located in the
United States says: 1--WE have had no

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ltched SO He Could Not Sleep

ION July ~, 1909, We left Boston for
trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave US medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of q
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars On
his face
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor. who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. It was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind Of Disagreement, and baby
