toward the English system of distance
training.
He is in favor of increasing the
cross-country distance to the English
standard of seven and one-half miles
and making the course harder with
water jumps, etc., which We're new to
American competitors.
Attention to Boxing.
Boxing is also coming in for share
of attention. The international box
ing tournament between Canada and
America, the first to be staged under
the rules of international Amateur
Boxing federation, was a move to fa-
miliarize American boxers with the
rules that handicapped Uncle Sans
men at the Olympic games.
Development of good men for the
weight events to succeed Matt Nc

aid will also be sought through the
cooperation of college coaches.
Hope for Americas future rests
almost entirely with college men and
it is the plan of the American ~om-
mittee to work out q comprehensive
program of development in needed de-
partments through the cooperation of
the university coaches which in way
would amount to an annual systematic
training school for the Olympics.

years Of constant companionship with
the child the friend had become 50
attached to it that she refused.
Disappointed, Mrs. Brooks and her
husband moved from Kirksvil4 to
Enid to make their home. She con-
tinued her requests for the boy in
many letters sent the friend, to which
few replies were received. But at all
times did the friend maintain that she
could not part with one whom she DOW
looked on as her son.
When the boy was sixteen years old
the true mother heard that he had
married. Later she learned of his en-
Iistment in the United States army,
and his dispatch to the backgrounds
of France. FROM that time until a few
days ago she heard nothing of him,
and had given him up as killed in bat
tie.
But the boy, now young man, had
returned safely from the front. After
his discharge he went to Kansas City
to make his. home.
Soon after his return from overseas
fuckers foster mother was taken i'll.
He made the trip to the home, and it
was then that his mother" who died
soon afterwards, confessed that the
woman who had called at their home
many times, and who was always
spoken of to him as Aunt Milly, was
really his mother. She told him his
mother lived in Oklahoma.
Tucker then instituted search for
his mother. He succeeded in tracing
her to this city, and while here on
business called at her home. And thus
it was that mother and son were re-
united after separation of q years.

The United States Department OF

CONSIDERING OATS FOR HOGS
Not Worth While Unless Selling for
Less Than One-Half as Much
Per BusheI as Corn.

AS a general rule it Is not worth
while to consider oats as a feed for
hogs unless they are selling for less
than one-half as much per bushel as
corn. In case the hogs are being car
ried along rather slowly, however, or
the tankage is extremely high-priced,
1t may be worth while to feed as much
as a pound Of oats per pig daily. In
any case continue to depend chiefly
on corn and tankage, feeding at least
two or three parts of corn for each
part of oats and at least one-fourth
of a pound of tankage per pig daily.

AnswerNeither United State.

cial statement on which we could base
an estimate of the stock, SO we regard
the issues AS purely speculative.
Neither of them looks attractive to Us.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit stock depends

companies are treated at Albany. There
is no use trying to encourage YOUR

might make it harder for him to take
the rest of his medicine later on. If. on
the other hand, the stock turns out
the way he thought it would when he
paid S1.26 for it he will have a pleas
