THE SNOW FLEW.
And Lincoln Campus Skating Rink Is
Ready for Frost.

The Lincoln campus. sleeping peace
fully under its heavy blanket OF snowr
received rude shock yesterday after
noon when a tractor, a road machine,
several large sleighs and crowd of
high school students armed with snow
shovels swooped down, threw back the
covering and brought the slumberer out
into the slowly fading light OF the
finest afternoon Barre has seen since

of the attack palmer than words. Mr..
Balls ambition TO have a skating rink
on the campus was in the process OF
realization. Mr.. Ball is now mem
her OF the winter sports committee OF
the Board of Trade.
As no attempt can be made to food
the campus until the ground freezes, 1t
was decided that the snow would have
to be removed TO allow the frost to get
in its work. A call was, therefore IS
sued for volunteers to asst IN the
work II. A. Richardson responded
with two sleighs, horses and drivers
and the ID. NJ. Miles Co, with one. The
CITY sent the tractor and road-machine

out the shovelIers. However. peculiar
feature of the cleanup was the fact that
no senior. but one junior and three
sophomores from the high school an
swered the call while l3 freshmen
brought snow-scoops and manned
them. II took the crowd only about
three hours to have the section TO be

Physicians nowadays lake q blood

You can tell when your blood is
