ANDERSON KNOWS ATHLETICS.

Coach Carl Anderson, of the Cen
trail High School, who has turned out
many athletes, is to be commended
for the showing made by his boys
in the recent exhibition given at the
First regiment armory before the
members of the American Physical
Education Association. Coach Ander-
son has proven that he can pick out
runners at first Sight. The teaching
OF calisthenics, the Lings system used
by Mr.. Anderson, is beneficial to the
growing boy. The boys who per-
formed in the exhibition were almost
perfect in answering the commands
of their instructor. Decked in white
trousers the athletes presented pic
ture as they marched upon the floor.
The boys went through their drill In
great style and were easily the fea-
ture of the afternoons work. Con-
sidering the small time allotted him
for practise, Coach Anderson certain
ly brought out first-class squad.

Late in February an athletic as

track team started in burst of
glory by winning the Columbia in
door meet. AT the Princeton indoor
meet, declared by many to have been
the fastest of the 1912 season, Cen
trails relay teams captured two beau-
tiful banners as tokens of their
prowess in the junior and senior re-
lay races. Since then CentraPs track
team has won six cups, of which the
entire school is justly proud.
The football team was not very
successful, owing to lack of proper
material and proper school spirit. In
spite of adverse circumstances, Cen
trail succeeded in winning three
games. 1t lost five.
Central Wins Two Cups.
The most important event of the
1918 season was Central's first an
nuaI athletic meet, which was held
on February in the First Regiment

won by Central. At this meet Central

CONDITION OF THE
FARM WORKINGMEN
Many Farmers Do Not Know
How to Use Help of Any
Kind, Says Hired Man.

There Is no doubt that the condition
of the farm workman has been great
ly improved during the last few years.
That this better condition is the re-
suit of the scarcity of help nobody can
deny. The plain truth is that there
were too many farmers who did not
know how to use help of any kind.
They imagined that $40 per month
entitled them to the last ounce OF
muscle in a mans body without re-
gard to hours. decent food, bed or
any of the ordinary comforts of life.
These men have done more to drive
good workmen from the farms than
anything else. Good workmen with
self respect refused to labor under
such conditions and the result is that
thousands have left the farm to work
In the cities where they at least be-
lieved they would be better of. Now
that farmers are learning that 1t pays
to give their help fair treatment and
better pay the tendency OF many good
workmen is again towards the farm
and | for one believe that IL the con
ditions continue to improve, as they
must under the prosperous times we
are having, that the question OF farm
labor will soon right itself and we
will not only have a better class Of
workmen but higher wages and richer
farmers.-A Hired Man.
