RACE
Cornell won the varsity freshman
eight race. Wisconsin was second,
Syracuse third, Pennsylvania fourth,
Columbia fifth, Washington sixth.

REGATTA COURSE, POUCH
KEEPsIE. N. Y, June 21.-CorneI to-
day won by a length and a half the
varsity four our race, the first event
Of the intercollegiate regatta. Penn
sylvania was secind, Columbia third,
Wisconsin fourth, Washington fifth.
The official time was 10 minutes 472-5
seconds.
Syracuse collided with stake boat.
The sky was slightly overcast with
thin veil of clouds and the river lay
stiH and quiet under the dead weight
of moist heat when the six varsity
fours lined up.
About 10000 people sat on the
banks on the high hills and railway
embankments and sweltered through
out the afternoon. The observation
trains on the west bank were crowded
! to the last inch, and crowds Of persons
watched the races from the river craft
which lined the course from the rail-
road bride, mile down the stream,
to the finish mark.
Syracuse Takes Lead.
At 4:o2 they were all lined up wait
ing for Instructions from the referee
Syracuse took the water first and had
half length lead before they had
rowed 100 yards Cornell was second
and Columbia third, Pennsylvania
fourth, Wisconsin fifth and Washing
ton sixth
At the half mile from the finish
was terrific race between Cornell,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Cor
nell hit up the stroke and In the last
200 yards she hit a terrific squirt and
won by a clear length and half.
Pennsylvania rowed magnifcently
and Wisconsin showed surprising
stamina and speed.
PoUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, June q.
Poughkeepsie was, astir early for the
big regatta in which seventeen crews,
representing six colleges will fight
for the inter collegiate championship
over the famous Hudson River
course.
A threatening morning gave way to
a warm sunshine and at noon large
patches Of blue showed through the
broken clouds.
According to the oldest experts, the
throes in Poughkeepsie this year are
the mildest that have been thrown in
the annals of college rowing. This
assertion is borne out by the gloomy
aspect of ticket spectators and the
distress of bookrnakers.

nell will beat Columbia. Cornell also
is backed against the field at even
money. but not the field against Cor
nell at the same odds. None cares
to back the field against Cornell
at any odds, but offers to on the
chance OF any of them other than
these two.
The regatta committee, to protect
the public from inconvenience and de-
lay, ordered all boats housed at the
boat house of the Columbia crew,
mile from the starting mark. In this
way the long wait for the boats to
come up one at a time from their
quarters all along the river front was
eliminated

CONSOLIDATION SUCCEEDS
Telephone Company Is Provid-
ing Better Service

President E. B. Field, of the
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, has issued COM
munication to all of the employees
of that company congratulating them
upon the work of the great public
service organization, and upon the
successful results of the second year
of the company's administration.
Tat company, which operates the
entire field in the so called noun
tain states, Colorado, Utah, Idaho,
Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming
and Arizona, is the largest single
unit of the Bell telephone system
and serves over one-fifth of the
total area of the United States.
The effect of combining into one
single organization the several sys-
TENS which formerly operated in the
mountain region is of great public
benefit in that it enables the COM
pany to provide better and more
uniform service than was possible
when the territory was divided
among several competing organiza-
tions. The company has over six
thousand employees.

THE BAND BOYS"

The Americans have not been
considered musical people. If you
wish to finance first-class concert,
platoon of society girls must COM
monty put on their most fluffy frocks
and sell tickets. Usually their
smiles are the winning considera-
tion, rather than the technique of
the artists.
But the custom of open air band
concerts during the summer has be-
come so general as to suggest the
growth of real musical feeling.
Treasury watch dogs may look ask.
ance at providing the concerts at
public cost, feeling that the choir's
sonorous rendering of Coronation"
and the prattling melodies of the
dance orchestra provide all needed
artistic culture.
But there are few appropriations
that slip through with less general
opposition. In many of the smaller
towns the band music is provided
without any compensation.
No community can afford to deny
encouragement to its musicians. 1t
has been said that Americans take
pleasures sadly. But the band con-
cert is democratic festival which
brightens many lives. The town
without a good band seems slow.
The most rustic hamlet may have
been known to remark that it sounds
as if they were bilin' pertaters in
them ere horns" =" At heart they
enjoy even the discordant sounds of
practice, as relief from the mono-
tony of silence.
Shall the band boys" play classic
or popular music will be asked. No
program is complete for an outdoor
recital that does not appear to all
tastes. The Racket at Gilligan's
will draw more hand clapping and
motor horns than the overture to
"Tannhauser." But no band ever
grows in facility, rhythm and imagi-
nation if it merely rehearses infants

A GOOD START

Stafford public school will open fol
the school year 19i3-19l4, Monday
September 9Th. A new corps OF
teachers, from principal to the pri'
mary grade, has been engaged, and
they all come here highly recon-
mended.
Beginning this year. the ninth
grade, or first grade of the high
school, will be taught. The princi-
pal, Mr.. Hibner, will teach this
grade as we'll as the eighth grade,
and will be assisted by Miss Frances
Dewitt, who will also have the
sixth and seventh grades.
In connection with the high school
work. Mr.. Hibner will start several
classes in manual training. and the
building of the M. E. Church, South,
will be used for this purpose. Man.
ual training will be new feature
in our school work and will un-
doubtedly prove very interesting to
the pupils who will form the classes.
BY establishing the first grade of
the high school this year, the trus-
tees will accomplish the first steps
toward higher education at home
and this will lead to the other grades
being taken up each year; so, that
by the end of the school year, 1916
1916, the four grades will be estab-
lished and ready for high school
building. the construction of which
should start in 1S15-l916.
Beginning this year free text
books will be furnished the pupils,
SO there will be no excuse for par
ents keeping their children at home
on account of not being able to pur-
chase school books.
The school laws should be rigidly
enforced and every child of school
age made to attend school.
With the beginning of high school
work and course in manual train
ing. Stafford public school starts out
this year better equipped than ever
for successful school year.

CUT OUT ROOT OF EVIL.

Strange as it may seem and seri-
Gus as it is there is but one political
party that will regard the prohibit
ton of the legalized liquor tarffic as
both a national and a political issue.
While a majority Of voters, we be-
lieve, know that traffic to be ma
tional evil-.a prolific cause of dis
tress and crime--a menace to busi-
ness and prosperity-a curse to its
agents and patrons both at home
and abroad, vet they prefer to re-
strict it by piece-meal process than
to wisely and bravely prohibit it
through legislative, congressional
and executive action.
They are quite ready to accord a
nationwide Importance to other and
minor measures, in fact they give
them place in platforms and cam
paigns, but because prohibition an
tagonizes habit and custom, because
1t is destructive of so-called busi-
ness, because it cuts off a revenue,
because it imperils certain political
parties. they are insistent that it shall
be wholly a local matter.
When will the voters rise above a
fossilized party spirit to the need of
the hour? When will they no longer
hesitate to make the prohibition of
the greatest national evil the great
est political national issue?
When will the people rise in their
might and insist upon law to pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale Of all
spurious liquors, thus cutting out
the root of the evil? This is the
only way to enforce prohibition, for
we know that local option is farce
and a crime breeder.

ORIGIN OF "DEADHEAD"

The origin of the word dead
head" takes us back to the theatres
of ancient Rome. R. H. Broadhead,
in A History of Pantomime." gives
the following realistic explanation.
He says: Persons were employed
to give applause with skill. The
proficient hired themselves out to
the poets, authors, ETC., and were
so disposed as to support loud ap.
plause. The free admission tickets
were small ivory deaths heads, and
specimens of these are to be seen in
the Museum of Naples
