HATCHETITES Land
FROM MARYLAND TEAM
University Proves Easy Picking for
Coach ColliRower's Quint.

The spark that kindled athletics in the
sporting circles OF George Washington
University in the early days OF 1916, broke
forth last night into 2 real flame, when
the Hatchetites' basketball team took the
floor once more and played its opening
game OF the season. The Hatchetites
handed a decisive trimming to the Uni
versity Of Maryland team from Baltimore
by tune of - TO a.
II was due to the brilliant success OF
Coach George Collifiower's quint OF lSl5-
1876 that athletics were once again estsb-
lished on the sporting calendar Of the
downtown institute and from the form
shown in last nights contest IL appears
that George Washington will again be in
the Iimelight in the great indoor game
Although the visiting quint proved TO
he one Of the early season kind, IL gave
George Washington just enough opposi-
tion TO AFFORD Cotch Collifiower a chance
Of obtaining a line on the candidates for
his quint. The University OF Maryland
team failed 10 show anything in the
passing game while il seems to be the
hobby of its guards, Harnish and Brazill,
to shoot from the center of the floor.
Two field goals were all that the visi-
tors could register as Williams added tSn
POINTS to their total by the free toss
route. williams missed seven chances
In his seventeen attempts.
George Washington demonstrated some
brilliant passing i'm the first period but
they seemed to tire in the last session and
resorted to a rushing game with Groes-
beck. Hills and Almon taking part in
some brilliant dribbling play.
Giacomo in the forward position with
Almon, made three sensational back
armed shoots and was easily the feature
OF the contest at cageing the old ball.

me?" Surely few people have had bet
ter reason to ask the question. But
God had not forsaken her entirely.
About this time former lackey of
the Comte de Montgomerie's felt with
in him spiritual yearning. He real
lied that his sins were as scarlet, and
he would be as white as snow He
wished to become a priest, and devote
his life to good works. With this
praiseworthy ambition in his breast
he set about undoing the evil he had
wrought, SO far as he could. He knew
the truth about the robbery at the
Montgomeries'. and he wrote an anony-
nous letter to friends of the dan
glades, giving them information which
enabled them to bring the facts to
light. And the facts showed that the
unfortunate d'Anglade had nothing
whatever to do with the crime.
The chief criminal was the Comte de
Montgomerie's almoner, priest
named Gaynard. who had obtained
wax Impressions of the comte's keys
From these impressions a man named
servants of the comte we're in the plot,
including the writer of the anonymous
letter. They were al taken into GUS

from her black dungeon. with her

and she was nursed back TO health.
The people of Paris raised a fund for
her, amounting to 100000, and the
courts made De Montgomerie dig up
large sum to make restitution for
the property confiscated.
There is only ons bright spot in this
tragic story. One morning the lieu

FLOWING LAND FOR
OATS NOT FAVORED
Greater Yields Obtained at Ohio
Station by Disking-Doesn't
Pay to Clean Seed.

Does 1t pay to plow ground for oats
and to clean the seed for this crop:
The Ohio station says that farmers
are frequently misled by such prac
tices. Six years results at the state
experiment station show that disked
and has given greater Yields than
plowed soil. and the cost OF preparing
the seed bed has been much less. The
only objection to disking is on land
where weeds arc unusually abundant
or on exceptionally heavy soil.
Cleaning seed oats to remove all
the small grains 1t ia said has like
wise been Improbable. Yields are
Increased SO slightly by repeated
cleaning of the oats In tanning mill

Good sows improve for a number -
years in the number and size of pigs

sows averaged rs pigs per litter with
an average weight of 14.2 pounds PEI
litter, while sows from four to five
years old averaged nine pigs per litter
with an average weight of 26 pounds
per litter. The United States d spart

ords of over six thousand sows and
found that yearling sows averaged
6.65 pigs per litter and five-year-old
sows averaged S.4 pigs per litter.

The success OF the prosperous hog

back should be strong. slightly arched

Where well-built tractor costing
less than $1,000 will displace three
good work horses, think 1t can cas-

1t is really a matter of balancing
the cost OF keeping and operating the

time, the work for which 1t is adapt.
ed can be done better and in better
season. 1t should be kept in mind
however, that the matter of success
or failure OF tractor operation lies
largely in the farmer himself and his
ability and willingness to master the
details OF operation.
In general, l lave not advocated
very strongly the use of tractor on
