was soberly explained to him that, to
every Carter who reported for foot
ball at Yale and who was good enough
to get into a game, the handle Nick
was given.
1t was not explained, for the Har.
ward man didn't remain long enough
to listen, that the first Nick" Carter
at Yale wore his title more accurate
ly true to traditions of the dime novel
hero than the present mick" who is
the son of clergyman and most
quiet, unassuming young man, and
who, if he did not possess sense OF
keen humor, would resent the title OF
'Nick." But the bravest Yale ath.
lete dare not defy an invading nick
name.
The origin of the forename, "Pie,"
with which Way, the guard and base,
ball pitcher, was "nicked,' has been
shrouded in mystery. Had he been
termed High" Way the title would
have seemed broader, more enduring
and more harmonious. The explana-
ton came from a friend who was ac-
quainted with Ways lunch habits.
More than a decade ago there was a
Yale player named Brown who was
given the nickname Skim" Hence
forth, as long IS Browns Joined the
Yale football squad, they were known
as Skim This may be the reason
that Browns stopped joining the
squad

lad who was arrested last week upon
charge Of escaping from quarantine,
waived preliminary hearing to the
grand jury through his attorney, o. G.

Several Fremont boys took down with
the smallpox as a result, and in retail

of the boys father and were fined.
The facts noted above constitute the
latest chapter in the story. The case

Iowa produces fruit of maximum
quality when nature is assisted by

waited. 1t is believed that these figures
are quite representative OF conditions
throughout the state Is it any wonder
then, that the average orchard does
not pay?
Many farmers would be willing to
prune and spray their orchards If they
knew how and when the work should
be done. Perhaps the average orchard
in Iowa is neglected more than any
other one thing connected with the
farm. Every farm in Iowa should have
a good cared for home orchard on it.
Tell your friends and neighbors
about the pruning ana spraying DEM
onstration. An apple tree selected by
those present will be pruned and rea-
sons given for making such and such
cuts. The time of year for pruning
will be given. Every phase pertaining
to orchard tree pruning will be dis
