Jordan High of Lewiston is still
without a track captain, but his cleo
ton Will probably be made the latter
part Of this week. The election has
been postponed until after the time

Those that survive the trials are the

ton is as Vet uncertain. Track men
Lave been practicing daily on Gar
celon Field. Several finds have
been reported and Jordan is expect
ed to be a real threat in the Bates
schoolboy meet.
Speaking about knockouts-an ex-

showing.
This week bring together Jordan
High Of Lewiston and Edward Little

Followers of track in Boston think
that Ralph Jackson, the University
of Maine shot puttcr. will make a
better man in a year or two than Bill
Allen. the old Maine weight thrower
A first place his freshman meet in
the New England is a remarkable
achievement for any youngster. The
former Dcering High boy is n hard
worker and is much improved
weight man since "Cuddy" Murphy
took him in hand at the State COL
lege.
In hooking up Ruby Levine Of New
Auburn and Jimmy Kid Rice Of
Portland, Charlie Turner. match
maker for the Boost Sports club, has
grabbed plum that other Maine
clubs have been angling for all sea-

in demand should be clearly in evil

There is no foundation for the re-
port that Art Smith, now track
coach at Anes college, is to return
to the University Of Maine. The
University authorities, comes the re-
port from Orono. are perfectly sat
isfied with Coach Flack and he will
be given his contract gain in the
spring. it is reported. This report
squelches stories that Flack was to
be ousted.

In stacking up against Rice, Ruby

Giovanni Mariana has sailed from

turn to America in the spring. Far
Mariana is man OF quality, a man OF
rare good sense.
This l venture to say albeit Ishave
never laid eyes on him. | say it on
the strength of little incident con.
nected with his departure, as recorded
in n Boston newspaper.
Mariana. it appears, marched aboard
ship carrying not only the baggage or
but the shovel by which he had gained
the wherewithal for that journey and
for the vacation he intends to take.
And he had spared no pains to me-
sure that this shovel would reach Italy
in good condition.
He had polished it until it cleaned,
had 'oiled it as protection against
ocean rust. and had wrapped it's
curely. To others it might seem a
common ditch-digging shovel but to
Mariana it was precious as jewel.
at is a shovel in one thousand"
he explained TO the inauring reporter.
at hangs just right The SCOOP of the
blade is perfect. 1t is shovel with a
SOUL" fg
He might have added. though he did
not. so far as the reporters statement
shows. that he was taking it back to
Italy because it was TO him symbol
Of achievement. because it embodied
for him memories of work well done,
work into which his own soul had been
put. - 9f
No doubt there were times when
exhausted Mariana. No
doubt there were hours when the
shovel was very. very heavy in Mar
iano's hands. But. quite clearly. it
meant so much to him. in the way of

the freshly-painted table reminded her
to touch up the dining-room window
sill. also marred before it was dry by
Pussy Purr-Mew's mischievous paws.
In the bathroom she painted the
hooks on the back of the door that the
painter had left untouched. The hook
on which hung Warren's shaving strap
also received attention.
In the bathroom she touched up the
electric wire that ran along the mould
ing to the bedside lamp.
"What the Sam Hill you doing
now?" Warren, impatient at her pro-
longed absence stood at the bedroom
door.
Just painting this wire. It was
old gold but it's all soiled-itll look

tpportunity to accomplish and to gain
sclf-realization. that it brought him a
far greater measure Of joy than OF
pain.
Else he would have pitied himself
for being obliged to dig bitches. He
would have grown to hate his shovel,
not love it. When, after years of toll.
he was for the first time able to return
to the country of his birth, he would
not have taken the shovel with him
would, rather, have tried to forget that
he ever had used a shovel.
I am reminded of the saying OF a
sagacious observer of life:
.Any work is good enough for any
man, if the man is good enough for the
work"
And of another, equally sagacious
"AlI work is noble-work alone is
noble"
These sentiments, beyond doubt,
are Mariano's. too. He has not an
iota of false pride. He rejoices that
work was given him to do. he CLOVIS
with the satisfaction his worthy SHOW
cling has brought him.
For all of us. whatever our work,
and most of all for those of us who
chafe and rebel against the necessity
of working. there are thoughts worth
bordering to be drawn from this little
episode of Mariana and his shovel.
Through work, even the humble
work of ditch-digging, he has found
the way to happiness. He has found
it because he looked at work from the
right point of view. And happy he
will remain so long as work means to
him what it means today.
bravo, Mariana! May the sun of
the soft Italian skies shine brightly
for you throughout your well-earned
holiday.
But forget not to come back. Amer
lea always will have room and well
come for men Of your kind"
