UNIVERSITY TO LOWER
TRACK TEAM MAXIMUM
Only Ten Men From Each
High School to Be En-
tered in May Meet.
TOO MANY ENTRIES
Number of Teams Growing
So Fast That New Limit
Is Necessary.

The university faculty committee
which handles the annual interscholas-
tic meet held a session yesterday and
decided TO reduce to 10 the number of
contestants from one school. This is
the fourth time that the possible num-
Der of entrants has been reduced The
first few years of the meet one school
might enter as many contestants as
could pass the necessary examinations:
tered as many as 50 men in the va
riouS events.
Three Times Reduced.
AS the number of participating
schools increased, it became necessary.
in order to successfully conduct the
athletics. to- put limit upon the num-
OF men one school might enter. The
limit was placed at IL. The number
OF schools taking part in the inter-
scholastic continued to increase and,
during the following years the num-
Der OF contestants allowed to take IA TT
was reduced. first to Is then, in 1916,
to II. Now the committee finds IL
necessary to reduce further the num-
Der.
Montana field. where the inter-
scholastic meet is held each year,
though probably the best in the north
west. is nevertheless too small to ac-
commodate contestants in a larger
number than took part last year. Many
new schools have signified their inten-
ton of taking part this year and the
meet will be the largest interscholastic
meet in the world with the single ex-
ception of the Stage meet in Chicago.

and having a good. wholesome Christ
mas dinner. is guilty Of doing silly
thing and giving poor advice that We
think is wholly out Of place and not
warranted by conditions The country
as a whole is prosperous. Last years
crop, taken on the whole, was above
the average. and brought the producer
a good price. More men are employed
at good wages than ever before. There
is not a cloud on the horizon to darken
the future. In all probability the war
will come to an end next year, and OF
all countries in the world the United
States will suffer the least. Cheer up,
dear reader. The world is not coming
to an end. Give yourself the comfort Of
a good dinner and the pleasure Of max
ing some one else happy. Even if it
was coming to an end you could not
take anything away with you and a
normal man would rather 60 down with
a smile on his face than wrapped in
gloomy forebodings.

A Christmas Gift That Could Not Be
Bouqht

zone of my most valued gifts this
past Christmas was one that money
alone could not have bought" said
Dolly Wayne in the Philadelphia
Ledger. 1T was a pot of wild flowers
and MOSES which had been trans
planted from the woods in the early
fall and lovingly watched and tended
until Christmas time. When the gift
came to me the pot and saucer had
been prettily decorated, and on the
hepatica plants there were numerous
buds, which blOssOmed, some on
Christmas day and others later in the
week The gift still affords me daily
delight. l have enjoyed those sweet
purple and white hepatica blossoms
far more than | should have any
florists roses, for I know that the
plants were gathered and kept for me
by one who understood how dearly |
love the woods and the treasures found
there"

We Believe in The Gospel of Work

The movement to pass a law to
make idle men work has our hearty
approval. Not solely because just now
it is necessary for all to work to make
our soldiers efficient and supply them
with needed food raiment and
ammunition, but because such law
would tend to lessen crime in the same
proportion that the baniShmet Of drink
did. Such law would do good after
the present necessity passes. Idleness
breeds discomfort as surely as filth
breeds disease. Universal work under
wholesome conditions would be a cure
for most OF the social and economic
ills: The records show that the larger
number OF crimes are committed by
idle men The man who does not
work lives off those who do. II every
man and woman worked the cost Of
living would be materially reduced.
Every argument supports the proposition
that all should work. Not one argu-
ment supports idleness. By all means
pass law TO make all men work if
they would also eat.
