OUR ATHLETIC OUTLOOK

as can be expected; although we will

The player are gradually getting
into form, and getting back their old
ways of sinking the ball in the bas-
ket. Owing to the fact that the sea-
son has just begun, they do not have
the endurance or the wind" they
will have; therefore the scrimages
are shortened. The first string men
practice with the town team after
supper. They also practice three
time a week after school.
Although the first squad has
turned out fairly well, our second
squad does not turn out. We must
have a second string to develop a
second team, which will play the
first team Also the second string
is a great help for they play in the
preliminaries to the main games.
1t is in these games that the sec
ond string men get most of their ex
perience they will get over stage

an audience once. Many times a

has never played before crowd, gets

best of their ability. Therefore for
your own benefit (this applies to
second string men) come out and
practice.

"WE''

We are the Sophomores in general,
The Freshies look up to us all.
We study each night by lamplight,
And never grow tired at all.
Each morning we assemble together
And tell tales of the night before,
And when our lessons are over
Our spirits begin to soar.
When our days occupation is ended
And our minds are at rest once
more,
We go to our homes with pleasure
And begin to study some more.
The thought of the futures before US
When we'll all be in glory to-
gether,
When the friendship through hard
work
No Islander viii be able to sever.
When downfall threatens to ruin us
And SANDER our name to make
small,
Be thankful to God for the past.
That it didn't threaten us all.
Then you will be loved by your
friends
And your friends will be loved by
ALL
So don't give up like traitor
And your standard will never fall.

words formed in his mind Jas of

Ills of the Present-Day Civilization
Existed in Babylon - Raids on
Roadhouse Parties Were Common.

The Ills of present-day civilization
existed In Babylon. Raids on gay
roadhouse parties were common. Wine
selling was regulated and the enforce
ment was put squarely up to the ven
der. One section. Of the penal code
provided, "If wine merchant has al
lowed riotous characters to assemble
In her house and those riotous char
acters (she) has not seized and driven
to the palace that wine merchant shall
be put TO DEATH"
A maid might sue for breach of
promise, a landholder had to pay a
heavier tax if he did not cultivate his
allotment, guardians were provided for
estates of widows and orphans. For
NAL contracts and deeds had TO be at
tested by a notary and in swearing the
person taking the oath raised his right

ton, on a clay tablet. with the notary's
attestation, was deposited in the tenn

at Is" she asserted. II am not mis-
taken about that. But mes the only
person who can do anything about it.
When he gets around to it, l suppose
he will. When he's got over the thing
that drives him to it. 1t is CHASTITY, of
| course, but / don't believe anything
like that will ever get Joe perma-
nently"
These revelations were so appalling
! TO Henry that he quite forgot what
Jennie's original errand to the North
had been, along with the apprehen-
sions which had caused her to under
take it. Not so, Jennie, however. She
came back to flax.
They aren't as happy up there as
they were when Joe was organizing
those subsidiaries" she told Henry.
They're furious over the way wheat's
gone down. They think it's all the
doings of the spectators. They're
worried over tight money and the way
the banks are shutting down on new
credits. They think that's part of a
conspiracy, too. You see, practically
all those little flax companies Dor
rowed the money that they bought the
straw with. 1t was easy enough TO
get then. But now the local banks
are wanting those notes paid up, and
that means that the subsidiaries won't
be able to give us any time at all.
We're all right for a while, Of course,
but this is going to run into millions,
Henry. And the stuff we're going to
buy, until we've established market
for it, isn't anything the banks will
take for collateral, either.
A prediction of John Williamson's
stabbed through Henry's memory like
neuralgia. Sooner or later, this
man Greer will bite off more than he
can chew" Had he already done It?
Henry wondered. And then Jennie
startled him by mentioning John, her
self. She had suggested that Henry
go and talk to him.
Henry uluH uluCIl Wdnl 10 40 InlS.
He'd been avoiding John Of late, on in
stinct rather than from any formidable
reason, but this wasn't fact he cared
to confess to Jennie, Sc he said he
would go. He telephoned IN that
same afternoon, and John invited him
to lunch at the Union League the next
day-to Henry's relief at getting out
of a visit to Johns office.
Henry talked with John about 1t,
who proved, in the upshot, rather re-
assuring than otherwise. He seemed
to think 1t natural enough that their
progress had been slow with the big
jobbers and that nothing much would
be gained by trying to hurry them. If
Greer was coming back in fortnight
or so he could run down to New York
and very likely close up everything in
week. Those things usually hap
pened all at once.
