THE VICTORY
By HAZEL V. PARIS.
(© 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
The game was nearly over when
Jack received a pass the length of the
floor and, cleverly dodging Hinge, the
opposing guard, made a pretty basket.
The enthusiastic audience cheered
wildly. As he ran forward, at the
next tossnp, and received the ball, the
big guard fairly ran him across the
floor, and giving him the brunt of his
shoulder, sent him crashing against
the brick wall of the gymnasium.
When Jack awoke next morning in
the college infirmary and tried to sit
up he found his leg In a cast A stiff
and swollen boy swore softly at his
fate. The game with Banford was
only two weeks distant! Just then
the door opened and In came the
nurse. Of course Jack realized she
was young and pretty, but he only
groaned: "How soon will I be out of
this harness?"
"Oh, soon."
"How long Is that?"
"Wouldn't you like your mail?" She
didn't appear to hear. "Or the cards
that came with these?" Indicating sev-
eral vases of flowers.
Jack turned his face toward the
wall just as the doctor entered, and
Miss Kimball, with a distressed ex-
pression, started for the door. "Here,
boy, what's this? Sulking so soon?
Nurse can't help it."
"Doc, is there any chance that I
can play against Banford?"
"Not one. That leg'll be in a cast
for three weeks yet." Assuming a
gentler tone, "Sorry for you, Knowl-
ton. I played not so many years ago.
Now do not take it out on Miss Kim-
ball. You fellows, when you come
here, get too impertinent. It's not the
fault of the nurses and doctors that
you kill each other. Be as decent as
you can to Miss Kimball. She's new
to the work, and we want to make
her happy. Pretty, Isn't she?" with
a twinkle in his eye.
Jack's only answer was ^another
groan.
For days Jack grumbled and sulked,
not because he was in pain, but be-
cause he was eager to get back to
the "gym" to practice. At other times
he responded to nurse's efforts to
cheer him and apologized winningly
for previous bad temper. She, on the
other hand, read and coaxed, ar
ranged flowers and gossiped, in fact
did everything she could to keep her
patient in good humor. Fraternity
brothers returned to the house with
the report that "Jack's all cut up,
poor chap. All he thinks of is the
Banford game. But say, he has a
peach of a nurse."
Th^ day of the big game finally
came, and Jack eagerly read numer-
ous accounts; statistics, lineups, criti-
dms. His heart sank as he saw that
betting was three to one against his
team. At five o'clock the sub-captain,
Allen, (9. "frat" brother and a
"freshiQ") came in. '
"Don't take It so hard, old boy.
We're bound to win."
"When you're my age, you won't
be so blamed <x>timisitc," growled
Jack.
"Well, you're to know the score at
the end oi' the halve?. The big 'bugs'
here\ saict it was a b other, but 'Doc'
insisted. Say, you oughtn't to be
lonesome here. The fellows are all
envying you." He winked signifi-
cantly.
Slowly the hands, of the clock
dragged around to eight Several
times Miss Kimball came In, once
with an armful of flowers.
"Your friends haven't forgotten
you."
"Room looks like a funeral. Way
I feel. Lucky I'm on the third floor
and weighted down."
She nodded sympathetically, but
even the pretty curl escaping from
under her white cap didn't compen-
sate for the lump in Jack's throat
His night! The night he had looked
forward to for three long years, since
he'd been a freshman "sub," and next
year he'd be—his thoughts trailed off.
Then he groaned. He not there!
Perhaps that "sub" was fumbling.
Then he tossed a bit, turned to the
wall, and sobbed violently. Gradual-
ly, tired by the strain of many days,
he fell into a restless sleep, punctu-
ated by more or less connected and
vehement " 'At a boy! Go it, A116n!
We've got 'em! Steady there, Ayer,
steady!"
As the door opened suddenly he
awoke with a start.
"Oh! I'm sorry I" exclaimed lthe
nurse.
"The score?"
"We've won. Fourteen to twelve."
His whole body relaxed, and with
a tremendous yell he threw off the
covers.
"Sh! You'll wake the others 1"
But he only laughed, held her hand,
and kissed it as he emitted shout af-
ter shout until orderlies and nurses
came running in from all parts of the
building. Just at that moment hun-
dreds of voices, it seemed, burst into
the "Victory Song," and as the last
echoes died away,
"In days of triumph our cheer will
ring:
Scorning defeat we'll laugh at its
sting.
Brothers united, one mighty band,
Strong in our hearts and truthful.
Truthful, too, —'s colors e'er shall
stand.
Brown and Blue."
And the last cheer was given:
•■•Knowlton! Knowlton I Knowlton"
He sanjk back and fell asleep.
BEAUTY REIGNS.
"There was a stir in court when
the fair defendant got on the witnesa
stand."
"I suppose the gentlemen of the jury
Slicked down their hair and fumbled
with their neckties?"
"Not only that, but one baliff whis-
pered to another baliff that if he had
known such a queen was to be about
the premises he would have had his
trousers pressed for the first time in
seven years at the imminent risk of
making his wife suspect he was lead-
ing a double life."
Non-Essential Problem.
"There are always some new prob-
lems to solve."
"I'm sticking to the old ones," de-
clared Senator Sorghum, "A man who
gets into the hapit of working on prob-
lems for the fun* of it might as well
give up statesmanship and subscribe
to the chess and checker magazines."
Duly Warned.
"Really, I consider you highly pre-
sumptuous in putting your arm about
my waist!"
"But you don't mind, honestly, now
do you?"
"I certainly do, and I'll call papa if
you do not remove it in ju.st one
hour!"

FEEDS FOR GROWING CHICKS
In Addition to Furnishing Right
Amount of Feed, Fresh Water
and Shade Are Necessary.
^Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
In addition to furnishing a sufficient
quantity and the right kind of feed to
make flesh, muscle and bone, and sup-
ply energy for the growing chicks,
clean dry quarters, green feed, fresh
water and shade should be provided.
The coop should be kept clean, which
can be facilitated by keeping sand on
the floor and raking of the droppings
at least twice a wee£, and oftener if
possible. The roof should be tieht so
Sprouted Oats Help Materially in Fur-
nishing Fowls With Needed Green
Feed.
that the house will always be diy.
Green feed is very essential for the
growing chickens, the ideal condition
being to allow them free range on
good grass land. Alfalfa makes an
ideal range. "Where the chickens have
to be confined to small yards it 1s
very essential to supply green feed
daily. Freshly cut lawn clippings and
short pieces of any growing grain
crop, such as oats, wheat or any quick-
growing crop, such as rape, make
splendid green feed. Where these
growing feeds are not available,
sprouted oats may be used and will
help materially. Where a hen Is kept
with a brood of chickens and the
chickens confined to a small covered
pen, move this coop and pen every two
or three days to fresh grass and never
let the grass be killed or eaten down
where the run is placed. Provide fresh,
clean water daily and see that the re-
ceptacles are thoroughly cleaned and
the chickens never without water. The
water should be kept in the shade In
as cool a place as possible. Using a
stone crock for watering fountains
will help to keep the water cool.
Where the chickens are confined to
yards or have free range, shade
should be provided. Trees and low
shrubs make ideal shade, but If not
available a corn patch or rows of sun-
flowers will help materially. Where
no growing crop or trees of any kind
are available it will pay to put up an
artificial shade, making a framework
two or three feet high and covering
this with the branches of. trees, weeds,
straw or any waste material that will
furnish shade.
BUILD UP PROFITABLE FLOCK
Possible Only by Continuous Selection
for Health and Vigor to Get
Egg Producers.
Only by continuous selection for
health nad vigor is it possible to build
up a flock which will produce fertile
eggs, strong chicks capable of making
quick growth, and pullets with suffi-
cient stamina to withstand the strain
of heavy egg production. The appear-
ance of a bird is not always a sure in-
dication of its vigor, but appearance
and action taken together are a fairly
reliable guide for picking out vigorous
birds.
CAP0NIZED TURKEY IS QUIET
Of Considerable Advantage in Getting
Them in Excellent Condition
for Marketing.
Very little has ever been done In the
way of caponizing turkeys, but when
it has been tried the capons were found
to be much quieter in disposition and
less likely to range over a wide area
than the toms, and this character
should be of considerable advantage
in getting them in condition for the
market.
SUPERIOR GRAIN FOR CHICKS
Kaffir Corn is Smaller Than Wheat
and Is Excellent for Young as
Well as Old Fowls.
The grain of kaffir corn is smaller
than wheat and it is good for the little
chicks as well as tlie full-grpwn ones.
The brood will begin to eat it before
they are a week old and those whe
have tried it say that It makes fine
feed.
