Waterville, Me, May 14.-(SpeciaD
The dope was slightly upset Satur-
day in the Kennebec Valley Interschol-
astic track meet on the Colby Athletic
field at Waterville, when Skowhegan
High, admittedly strong team, beat
out Cony High by seven points, TAX
ing the track championship Of the as
ISOLATION with a total of IS. The Cony
total was IS. Another surprise was the
showing Of Good Will High Of Hinck-
ley with Is points. Ma olson High made
-, Gardiner High IL. and Lawrence
High of Fairfield Z.
Gardeners Three
Perhaps the real heroes of the meet
were the three men who represented
Gardiner. Although small in numbers
they took one first and two seconds
and If there had been more Of their
timber the result would have been even
larger. One of the most interesting
events of the afternoon was the 220-
yard dash in which Dennis Of Cony
beat out Haskell of Skowhegan in %
and 20 seconds, which was pretty
good school boy time. The quarter
mile was taken by HUMPHREYS of Mad
ison, who made a determined fight all
the way around with a good SHARP
sprint at the finish, negotiating the
distance in 81 and 4-5 seconds.
The relay race proved to be rat
thing good school boy exhibition. Cony
took the event in 40 and Is seconds
with a dead heat for second and thirt
between Good Will and Madison. The
other schools did not compete in this
event.
There was but one event in the
weights, putting the 12-pound shot
and this was taken hy Lawry of Law
renee. whose best distance was g.
feet, 81 inches.

THE Etiquette
OF THE WOODS"

SportSmen everywhere will instantly
recognize in this article the fulfillment
Of a long-felt need, an essential ad-
junct to the outfit Of anyone not IA
miliar with the Big Woods and which
should never for moment be left be-
hind. Advice is cheap and easy to
take, and right here we would en-
phasize our belief that anyone who
doubt the following statement is no
more of a gentleman than we would be
to burst into loud, hoarse laughter at
like statements of his'n. Going into
the woods is serious business, either
one should go prepared for anything
Uncluding the worst), or one should
stay by his own fireside.
No gentleman should think Of going
into the wilds with less than four suit
cases full Of clothes for all occasions,
neither should he demean himself by
trying to put this raiment into a pack
basket, for it will look as though you
were trying to emulate class Of peo-
rle below your own social level. Be
sure and include a complete toilet out
fit, cologne, talcum powder. rouge for
fingernails, etc. Decency demands that
you appear at your best always. A
couple Of hot water bottles are essen
tial to the we'll ordered camping kit,
and a small soapstoEe is also handy to
have along. If you have mirror that
will cover one nd of your tent, take it
by all means, you can then realize the
picturesque effect Of your hunting toys
as never before.
For cooking kit a few simple things
like a coffee percolator, double boiler
of size sufficient for cooking young pigs
or turkeys, a chafing dish and 10 gall
Ions Of alcohol, a griddle cake or
waffle iron. and a complete set Of cleo
trical cooking utensils, bread toaster,
egg boiler. ETC., will do for a small
party. Supplies are optional, but a
few essentials like Worcestershire
sauce, pimentoes, a case Of cream
cheese, key Of olives, and if possible
a carton Of caviar must not be left out
Of the list. If you premeditate Staying

Nashville, De- 9.-The first strike in the history of the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railway has been won by the shopmen employed in the shops of that company here. as the result of con- l ference of representative of the shop men and the railroad, held late Friday night.

The company in sisted that it would be a hardship on the railroad to increase wages a- this time owing to pending suits instituted recently, and the managers appealed to the men to withhold their demand un> til these matters were settled when their request would be considered.
 The railroad company made every effort to avoid compliance With the de- mana of the strikers at this time, hav- ing moved their equipment to Glen wood with the view of having the re- pair work done by the employees of the Clark Lumber Company. These men refused and the equipment was moved back to Nashville, and the con- pany called on the carmen and the bridge carpenters to do the work of the strikers, but these in turn refused The only repair work done for the company since the strike was begun was Gone by some of the officials themselves and this was very little.
 In the conference Friday night the strikers were represented by Frank Seers, chairman, and Elmer Hickerson, and J. B. Campbell, the assistant gen eral manager, represented the com pany.
