body.
There was time when a job
in the city brought more money,
if more discomfort, than a job
in the. country. That time has
passed and the man who works
with his hands can now get a
better home, better wages, more
of comforts and better food, with
better chances. for saving his
wage on the farm than he can in
the city. The hired man on the
farm will be better off in money,
in health and in morals than the
hired man in the city, provided
his ability is equal.
A farmer who does not wish
his name used states that he
finds the horse situation to close
ly parallel the hog situation.
The large number of losses which
have occurred among horses
caused by the feeding of wormy
corn and 'drouth-grown fodder
will make work horses scarce in
the spring, with a consequent
advance in price. This farmer
thinks that, except for the raw
ages of cholera, the hog popula-
ton would have been so dense
that there would have been scar
cely any market for the pork
makers, while under present con-
ditions he sees the probability OF
a strong demand, especially for
breeding animals.

Middle Names.

In England middle names were once illegal. English statues of other days were most definite as to the naming of children, as will be seen from Coke, who states that a man cannot have two names of baptism" Tt is requisite," states the old English law, that the person be named by the name of his baptism and his surname and that special heed be taken to the name of baptiSm."
 Persons of royal extraction in England have always been allow ed to possess more than one giv- en name, but, it is said, so late as the year 1900 there were but Tour persons in all the kingdom wh" possessed two given names. Even one hundred and fifty years ago duubl" narfn ns wore very un- common.

 He must not be outside the college gates after 9 o'clock at night. If he comes in after that hour he must knock for admis- sion and pay his fine. He dimes every evening lin hall," not as a di: tinguished guest at the high table, but on the benches with his fellow students. He will mix with them freely in the junior common room. He is known to be fond of cricket and will be often seen on the college ground, one of the most beautiful fields i'll the world of smooth clipped turf.
 His studies are to he in the nndrrn school, where history, English literature, and modern languages are prominent. He will attend the usual college lectures, and very likely some of the new inl"r-cOllegr lectures, where some professor of special rcputc meets the students from four or five colleges.

CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE.


 grrsS of chambers of commerce. and commercial and industrial aSSOciat ions of the world was held at BnSlun during the last few days.
 The congress met under the auspices of the Aerican honor ary committee, headed by the President of the United States, and the secretary of commerce and labor, the Honorable Char les Nagcl, delivered the address of welcome in the name of the government of the United States.
 No less than TO delegates at tended this commercial parlia- ment. Or these 535 were from fOrrgn nations and 23J from tho United states.

Hardly a nation on thd wide earth, whose commerce with sister na- lions was of material value, fail ed to appear, and too take part in the discussions.
 It was a wonderful gathering --and the harmonious meeting of rivals in trade, and the univcr- sal effort for adjustment of vary ing practices and rules and reg ulatiOnS was the keynote of their Alterations.
 The special subject OH thr first day was the promotion of an in trrnatiOnal court of justice for suits between individuals and foreign states. This brought up the establishment of an inter- national arbitration court for disputes between private prrSnns and foreign states. Sn anticipai- ing suits. Then came. of course, the whole question of intrrna- ti"naI arbitration. These rrsolu- lions were all referred to the permanent committee for action.
 Then came questions of ere aLing uniform international prac- lice on checks and bills of rx- change, and of an international court for Interpreting the laws on this subject which each na- ton should pass. Then follow "d commercial stalisiirs' and "an international statistical Of- flee.

the workouts. The Tech crews are being
shaken UP by Coach Hecox In the hopes
of getting a balanced eight. Several
substitutes vii lbe taken on the trip. In
the event that the Tech crew wins the

Germany Is After
The 1916 Olympics

BERLIN, June 2s.-An invitation to
hold the next Olympic games in Ber-
lin in a new $500, 900 stadium will be ex-
tended to the international Olympic
committee at its coming meeting in
Stock holm. 1t has been understood
that Germany would be awarded the
games as soon as Berlin was in a posi-
ton to offer suitable accommodate tons,
and as this condition has now been met
by the patriotic offer of three Berlin
organizations to assume the financial
responsibility for the construction of
the stadium, the American athletes will
probably gather here on their next trip
across the Atlantic.
At the last meeting Of the German
imperial committee President Won Pod
bielsky announced that the Union Club
the Berlin Steeplechasing Association,
and the Berlin Racing Association had
offered to build the stadium and to
raise the money by bond issue Of $500, =
OOO The German Olympic committee, in
which all branches of athletics are rep
resented, hopes as soon as possible to
take over these bonds among the vari-
Gus organizations represented. Count

on the International committee, was
thereupon instructed to tender the for

average he maintained last season. His
