Benjamin FrankIin's Motto Does Not

Early rising hours for students with

the annual report Of the dean Of Co
lumbia.
A sound and time-saving reform,
maybe, for the academic world. But

Grafton ago. Yet nobody would assert
that less work is done or that brain
workers are lazier than they used to
be.
The obvious explanation is, Of
course, that labor-saying devices, like
telephones, typewriters, index sys-
tens, etc. enable the modern business
or professional man TO use the time his
father passed In pushing a pen or
studying ledgers In concentrated, rap-
id-fre attacks upon the days work
which dlsposes of 1t IN half the time.
CorrespondIngly, the modern way Is
far more firing. The tendency Is to
begin the days task later and leave
It earlier.

Bird Preservation.

Ornithologists have been saying for
good many years now that the de-
crease in the number OF insect-eating
birds and the increase In the depre-
dations of the cotton boil weevIl, the
gypsy moth and the Hessian fly are
closely related. But the government
regulations merely provide a means.
Such regulations are worthless unless
officials charged with their enforce
ment are vigilcnt not only in appre-
hendIng offenders, but in enlistlng the
aid Of the public In the work of con-
servation. The boy who looks upon
a bird as merely a target upon which
TO practice with his new airgun must
be educated, for he soon becomes the

M'CONKEYS PLAY
c. A. C.'S SUNDAY

There will be a regular game played
ut Tunnel Green Sunday. when the Cen
trail Athletic Club Of Bellaire meets the
East Wheeling McConkeys. The McCon-
keys have defeated the c. A C.'s once
by small margin and 1t is said tho
Ohio team comes to the field with re-
venge in their heart.
The McConkeys. however. are also con-
fIdent. They bank on Burkhart to play
in his usual style In which event tho
C. A. C.'s Will have to work. 1t is said
by sonrr people that the McConkeys
would stand fair chance Of flaying
the Stroehmanns. Although the Stroeh-
MAINS defeated the East Wheeling as
sembly earlier in tho season, they have
seemed little dubious about meeting
them Of late.
The Smokers have been putting UP q
solid line of bail for the last few games
and there Is a general anticipation OF
the game when the Bakers" will meet
the 'Stogies."
The following men are requested by
the manager Of the C. A. C.'s to report
at the city park at 80 Sunday after
noon: Mack, O'Brien, Ross. Snively. To-
bin. Larelle, Johnson. ". Patterson. r,
