ball travelling around and you will be
surprised to find how fast it can come off
the walls. One of the beauties about the
game. too. is that it is two handed sport,
unlike tennis. II you are going to be any
good at all you will have to learn to take
the ball off either side.
The motions that you go through are a
lot like those that are essential in boxing.
The swing to hit the ball either from the
left or the right is similar to hook D.
the ring. Then you will get the ball low
and have to come up on it from close 10
the ground, which is nothing more nor
less than right or n left uppercut Of
course you seldom are called on for q
shot that would be the duplicate Of a.
straight jab, but you get the motions OF
practically every Other. punch that is used
in the ring.
Furthermore, there is hardly a better
game in sport for the development Of leg
work. You are constantly shifting about
from one side to another and you must
develop speed in your quick changes OF
position. 1t is a great game for reducing
the waist line If you are a bit fat, if you
will bundle yourself up warmly in sweat
ers.
There are a couple OF games closely akin
to this which have recently seen which
I should think would be corking good
exercise for boxers or almost any other
sort of athlete who wanted to keep in trim.
These are squash tennis and racduets.
These games. though, are rather costly
because of the expensiveness of building
courts and the high costs of balls and
racquets. They are becoming very popu-
lar. though, especially squash. and hun
dreds of star athletes Of years gone by are
keeping in trim by playing them. To me
they are nothing more than handball
played with racquets.

In my talks on training to build up a
healthy and sound body l should like to
impress on my readers that most of my
hints on training have not been alone for
the boxer. Most of the advice have
given in the past articles from my train
ing in getting up to the championship
may be useful TO a man or woman in any
walk Of life. 1t Is not necessary that you
should aspire to be head liner in the
athletic world to heed some of the things
which / have learned from actual ex-
perience and from what have been told
by those who have been my predecessors.
The ordinary citizen who seeks some di-
version to get him out of the rut of his
work and benefit his health may find
many things in sport to help him forget
his cares and at the same time keep down
the doctors bills.
One of the best sporting activities that
1 know of in training for a bout or in
keeping a man fit for his business is to
spend his spare time on the handball
courts with some of his friends. 1t is a
game that is easy to learn from the
of scoring, and you will not
have a lot of technicalities to bother
about, as you will in other sports. Most
handball courts are indoors, but there are
places where you may find them in the
open air, and 1 would advise the ones
outdoors. The more fresh air you can get
into your lungs the better will your blood
be. for as doctors have told me. the pure
oxygen you breathe in cleans out all the
impurities.
Handball gets every muscle into action.
If YOU play on the regulation four walled
court you will find it one of the liveliest
games that you have ever seen. The one
wall game is fair enough If you can get
nothing better. but when you can rattle
the ball to the far corners OF the back
wall then you get the real enjoyment and
full exercise.
Nothing could be better for a boxer You
ought to have quick eye to watch the

SEE TO THEIR ELECTION.

The independents have nominated
enough men to insure control of the
state house Of representatives, If they
are elected, and the prospect looks
good for control Of the senate, But
the nomination of the candidate does
not end it. The independent forces
scored a notable victory in June, but
1t will not do to rest satisfied now
with what has been accomplished and
decide to take things easy for another
two years, when a complete cleanup
can be effected. Men who are nom-
mated in June do not go to the leg
stature in January unless they are
elected in November. and the efforts
of those who are interested in the
success Of the independent cause must
be conferred on the election of all in
dependent candidates at the fall cleo
ton.
The Socialist managers will not quit
with the defeat of their. candidates Al
the primary. They will seek means,
applicable to the conditions Of each
case. to secure the election Of men
who will be s~ubservient to them. and
nothing hat ingenuity can devise will
be overlooked.
No man who yields allegiance to A,
c. Townley ought to be elected to any
position in the government of North
Dakota and it is incumbent on eli
who have the welfare of the state Al
heart to see that the men who stand
for good government and Independent,
thinking are elected in every case.

RELIEF FROM HoPPERs.

The old saying that great bugs have
little bugs to bite 'em finds illustra-
ton in the report that in sections of
northern North Dakota where gras-
hoppers are numerous, a disease
which has attacked the insects threat
n to exterminate them. This dis
ease is described as a fungus. and a
local entomologist believes that there
is a reasonable prospect of the eradi-
cation Of the pest through this agency.
In the meantime, farmers whose fields
are infested are urged to avail them
selves of all the aid that the state
n nation give 20 dispose Of the in
sects before they have wrought dam
age which cannot be repaired.
The hoppers which are found in
the section referred to are not i'm
migrants from other states, as has
sometimes been the case, but are of
native growth. They are the direct
product Of a method of farming which
has been condemned on other grounds
than that it breeds hoppers. Some
years ago it was found thai some
crops. especially rye, could be grown
with considerable success if the
ground were seeded on the stubble
without being plowed, the surface be-
Ing scored and the grain covered by
being disced. 1t was easier to disc
than to plow. and a good deal of it
was done. Insect eggs which had
been deposited in the soil were left
1ndtsturbed, and Matched out healthy
youngsters in the spring. The pre-
sent swarms Of hoppers are largely
the result Of this treatment contin-
lled over for several years.
Aside from its effect on insect life
this method has been recognized as
highly ind esirable, as one of the es.
sentials of continued productivity is
the frequent stirring and aeration OF
the soil to a considerable depth,

The sound OF his voice was cut

the night in a climbing aria from
Faust. Suddenly the sound wavored.
swerved n fell to q wrangling OF
frightened notes al though some one
had swept the instrument from its
balance. A second later there was
the thud Of a heavy boot on wood;
Trevor's door flew open and the still
wailing photograph was hurled as
from a catapult fifteen feet through
the air. 1t fell to the hard-beaten
ground of the patio with a terrific
sp%lintering crash rolled over on one
side and was still. Andrea's eyes had
been watching it. fascinated: nov
they swerved and stopped almost
with a click Of the suddenly arrested
muscles.
Between her and the door of Ire
vor's hut stood the towering figure OF
a man in quarter profile. She could
see his great shock of bushy red hair.
a bit of his shaggy beard, his enor-
mously broad shoulders and the white
CLEAN of his two hands hanging al
most at his knees. He was hatless
and dressed in faded blue dungarees
many sizes too small for his bulk.
AS she watched him he raised his
arms in a wide still gesture and be-
gan to sing. At the first note, quite
unconscious Of action. she let the
door swing open and stepped out on
the veranda. 1t was the aria from
Faust, the same aria, but oh! how
different. The voice Of this ma was
like a huge and glittering serpent OF
air, challenging the dome Of heaven
itself.
If there was ono thing that Andrea
knew better than another, 1t was the
accurate valuation of every operate
voice that had sung in Europe during
the last decade. She had been taken
to Drury Lane regularly before she
was out, as a matter of education
and, and no less regularly after hel
eighteenth birthday. as a matter OF
matrimonial business.
She knew instantly that this extra.
ordinary apparition in the wilde. ness
was nothing less than the solution o.
world mystery. He could be but one
man and that a person whose ire
mendous triumph had been SO short
as to leave him with fame but with
