 There are no secrets between the oarsmen and myself so far as the way they are rowing is concerned, and I maintain this attitude right up to the day of the race. Then they can figure out their chances as well as l. In comparison with the work of the oars men at other universities or with train ing ideas of quarter of & century ago, the work of the Cornell men is light. I truly believe that they do less actual work than the oarsmen at any other university. They take no exercise aside from rowing once a. day in Ithaca and twice Fl day at Pough- keepsie.

 According to MT.

ATLANTA BEATS
EAST FOR TRADE

Atlanta is the most cheerful spot

vice president of the Travellers Bank
and Trust Company, just returned
from a trip which included visits TO
Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia.
New York, Boston, New Haven and
small towns in the States of New
York and New Jersey.
Il made it my business to call on
the bankers in all the Eastern cities.
It is a relief to get out Of the atmos-
phere of the North and East back into
the realm of confidence" he says.
Atlanta is to be congratulated or
being in the best shape of any city
east of Chicago. Business is splen-
did here. compared to the East. Part
of it, indeed. is at the expense of the
East
lone of the loudest walls I heard
was from Baltimore. Atlanta jobbers
are cutting deeply into Balumore's
trade, particularly in the Carolinas.
and, to make it a little more painful
to the Maryland dealers, the trade
which is coming to Atlanta is the
cream
THE trouble in the North is that
the loans are based largely on Wall
Street securities, instead of on the
crops, as here Consequently, Allan
ia, looking to the fields for news, gets
cheerful tidings, while the East. look
ing at Wall Street, is depressed.
