A Better Tiger Team.


Yet we are confident that Coach Rush
will send n far better Tiger team to the
field than he has show nbefore this sea
son.
Last fall wit h a hard early schedule.
Rush was forced to try ana keep his team
on edge most OF the year. They were
ready for Harvard, but all through for
Yale
This season Rush has brought his ma
chine along slowly, making no effort to-
ward quick start, The result In that
by Saturday Princeton should bc coming
to her best--guite a different eleven from
the shaky Cornell team that Harvard
overwhelmed ten days ago.
Harvard IL going to he n hard eleven
to boat the rest OF the way, but she
hasn't enough margin over Princeton to
lose the breaks Of battle and stlll finish
ahead A tumble here and there. n lucky
turn the other way, and the upset may
como In flash. Ask Dartmouth.

boat in the summer. As a matter OF
fact, We have just this week hauled
her out. The winter has been very
late this year and none of the creeks
have frozen, so we kept her overheard
and took several ducking trips, etc,
down Delaware Bay. | guess you

If tobacco raising will give farmers
something profitable to do here, whoop-

there is no certain promise in that.
Fresh in our memory is Jared

ments have not been encouraging.
While recognizing that Kona is a
district of unusual resources, let us
acknowledge that, so far, we haven't
any one industry we can recommend
as an open sesame.
The gate is still shut to general

Jack London being a lovable chap
and devoid Of conceit and bitterness
CT any sort, his friends are glad to
hear good things said Of him. Some
such thing as We read in recent New

Among all American authors who
have gained popularity in Russia, Jack
London undeniably holds the first
place The sales OF his books have
reached tremendous figures. and ev-

his life among trampS, laborers and
sailors But. no matter how contra
dictOry critical opinion may be, 1t
agrees that London's works are pow
erfully written, that they are full of
life and have a captivating fresh
ness.
A mighty call to life for life's
sake was revealed in the Russian
reader by LondoRs writings, which
were heartily recommended by even
Tolstoy, who found in them the under
lying principles of a sturdy moral
ity." 49,. a.
In his Phoenix for January, the
editor. our old friend Michael Mona

Into this book London has. put
the best of his matured powers; 1t
has all his famous strength and viril-
ity, with artistic merits greater, finer

EXTENSION WORK GROWING.

In this demonstration work and other
forms Of extension activity, the South
has led. The national report Of ten
work as issued by the director of the
States Relations Service shows this
and shows how all of it has grown.
The federal and state system of CO.
operative agricultural extension work
inaugurated by the Smith-Lever Act
is now operatingin all the states. Much
progress has been made, the report
states, in settling general lines of
work in new fields and in shaping the
methods Of cooperation. Agents for
carrying on the extension activities
have been located in more than 1900
counties and have received the cooper
aation, not only of the states but of the
counties, local organizations and in
dividuals.
The report directs attention to the
unprecedented increase in the number
tural courses, and estimates the num-
tural coursces, and estimates the num-
Der of students enrolled in such cours-
es at more than 10000. In connection
with this school work the use of land
for Institutional purposes has greatly
increased and many of the schools have
introduced the home-project method
as a practical feature of the coopera-
tive agricultural extension work.

Catch question to spring on YOU
smart friends: What city in this coun-
try has the biggest vote? Everybody
will say New York, unless previously
posted Fact is that Chicago now has
the biggest vote, owing to the enfran-
chisement of women. Politically
speaking, Chicago is now the metropo-
lis of the United States; it is second to
New York in most other things, but it
now has more influence in government
than New York. The thing for New
York state to do now is to give the
women the vote, so as to even up with
the Western States that have set the
example. That is the only revenge
there is left for all the enuequal suf-
frage states. Can such great states
as New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
sit by and see the women of rival
states enfranchised and given power,
without doing the same by their wo-
men? They may not prefer to give
the women the vote, but they will be
by the cold law of competi,
lion to do so, otherwise they will con-
SANITY be at a disadvantage.-Ex
