Last year the farmers down on Prince
Edward Island planted large acreages to
potatoes. They were unable to market
them all, although there was an apparent
shortage IN the United States Rather
than haul several miles TO the starch fac
tories, Prince Edward Island farmers left
their surplus crop Of potatoes out in the
field to spoil.
Oysters are so plentiful in the waters and
bays around Prince Edward Island that the
farmers haul tons OF them IN onto their
land and pillow them in for fertilizer. Oys-
tiers are so plentiful in st Peters Bay. p
I. l.. that when the water Is clear and still
the bottom OF the bay can be seen to be
literally covered with oysters

SPORT STAND is
Still INFORMAL
Dean Briggs Of Harvard Explains
New Plan Evolved at
Yale Conference.
t-sa.-..-
BIG GALA DAYS ABANDONED
Games Being Arranged to Satisfy
Healthful Love Of Sport Rather
Than for Purely Spectacular
or Financial Ends.

An explanation Of the new stand on
sport taken by Harvard, Yale and
Princeton as the result of the confer
enec among Dean lie Baron Briggs.
Professor Corwin and Dean McClcn-
nanahan, Is made by Dean Briggs in a
statement In the Yale News. He de-
clares that sport ut the three colleges
will be continued on an informal basis
with the exception of schedules. He
adds that the term informal has been
mlSlnterpretcd. The deans statement
follows:
"There was general agreement I'm
our conference as to the wisdom of our
procedure with regard to athletics last
fall, for we were all glad that the foot
ball interests were put aside and that
the big games were omitted. If for
nal collegiate sports are resumed they
VIII be held on as inexpensive a basis
as possible. They will not be scheduled
for big gala days and will not be as
publicly advertised as before, games be-
Ing arranged with a view to satisfying
u hcalthfnl love of sport rather than
for purely spectacular or financial
ends.
Uphold Military Interests.
"The military organizations of the
separate colleges and universities are
now on firm basis. BY re-establish.
Ing formal athletics / think that we
can relieve the unnatural strain on the
men and generally tone up the college
spirit. II is, however, most important
10 keep the athletic interests interior
Ing with the military duties or inter
ests, and We must further see TO IL that
the public does not mislnterpret oul
action and continue to regard tho
games as the big events of the colleg,
year.
"The newspapers have derided tht
term informal entirely too much. hav
Ing quite missed It's significance. BY re
establishing formal athletics we do no
In any way mean TO feature athlete
contests, nor do we propose to maxi
athletics any less informal as regard
their relation to military work. The
will be more formal merely in the mat
ter Of the resumption of modifie
schedules with our old competitors
The change, am sure, will show goo,
results both in the military and ath
letlc interests.
Players in Military Units.
''The decision whether men not 4
the military organizations of their un
versitles shall or shall not be able {
play on the athletic teams of the con
ing season was left entirely to the al
thoritles ut each college, but 1 see n
reason why the ablcbodled man whor
we pick TO represent us In vigorou
outdoor life should not be in the exis
Ing military units. In fact, / think
is unfair to Yale to allow her OppC
nents to use men not In the military OF
CARNATIONS. and consequently we Ill
not allow one member of the freshma
hockey team to play against Yale i
Saturdays game, nor viii we alo'
such men to play on future Harvar
teams"

She took q look at the encompaSsing
woods, and her heart sank at facing
those shadowy stretches alone and un-
guided. The truth of his statement
that she would never reach Cariboo
Meadows forced itself home. There
was but the one way out, and her wom-
ans wit would have to save her.
"Go on, then" she grltted, in swift
surge of anger. II am afraid to face

"Whew!" Roaring Bill laughed.
"Those are pretty names. Just the
same, admire your grit. Well, here
we go!"
He took up the lead rope. and went
on without even looking to see if she
followed. If he had made the slightest
attempt to force her to come, if he had
betrayed the least uncertainty as TO
whether she would come, Hazel would
have swung down from the saddle and
set her face stubbornly southwark in
sheer defiance of him. But such is the
peculiar compleXity of q woman that
she took one longing glance backward,
and then fell in behind the packs. She
was weighted down with dread of the
unknown. boiling over with rage at
the man who swung light-footed In the
lead; but nevertheless she followed
him.
All the rest of the day they bore
steadily northward Hazel had no idea
of Bill Wagstaff's destination. She
was too bitter against him to ask, after
admitting that she could not face the
wilderness alone. She knew nothing
of the North, but she thought there
must be some mode of communication
or transportation. If she could once
get in touch with other people-well,
she would show Roaring Bill. OF
ows meant n new start in the world,
for she had no hope. nor any desire,
to teach school there after this cpl
sode. She found herself facing that
prospect unmoved, however. The i'm
portant thing was getting out of her
present predicament.
Roaring Bill made his camp that
night as If no change in their attitude
had taken place. To all his efforts Mt
conversation she turned deaf ear and
a stony countenance. She proposed to
eat his food and use his bedding. be-
cause that was necessary. But socially
she would have none of him.
