From eight acres of land Joseph Blust
harvested and delivered to the sugar
company 105 tons, 1, GAG pounds of beets
for which, after paying for his seed, he
received $511.S0. These beets were
raised on the old North farm on the
Plank road, and averaged from 1876 to
1913 per cent. After a. very liberal al
lowance for labor Mr. Blust estimates
that his net profit for the use of his land

MISS CROSMAN,S CUSTOM.
No Social Gayety for Her in the
Busy Season.

Public report often narrates social tuii'-
tions having stage folk as central figures thaI
the impression is general that the footignt guId
plunges deeply into the vortex Of gayety NOT
always is this true. Not a few persons pronh-
nent in the dramatic profession regulate thelr
lives on lines exactly opposite to social ENJOY
uent and during their working season are as
strict and rigorous in routine as the VerleS'
anchorite OF this class is Miss Henrietta Cros-
man. In the course OF her professional season
during her working weeks-she follows rule
of conduct which gives all her time TO the the-
atre and her home. This rule is based on
experience and conscientousness and courtesy
She contends that she cannot give time to So
ciety and do justice to her work in the theatre
and 10 the public Hence as she is an enthusiast
In her art and just in her attitude to patrons or
the play, she centres her energies upon work
On the road she adheres more closely 10 TINS
policy than when she is in New-York. and 1t is
a fixed principle of hers never to accept over
night hospitality at any private house. Time
was when she visited friends in the course of her
professional travels. but she soon found IL un-
wise. She reasoned in the first place that be-
cause OF her necessarily unreasonable hours, she
upset all domestic arrangements. She felt that

THE girls who had roles were wild with
delight. They had had committee meetings at

WET WEATHER NECESSlTATES
ANOTHER P0STP0NEMENT
Rain Always Marks the Arrival Of the
Cubs In Southern California.
Play Tomorrow at Santa
Monica

A certain worthy yclept Hatfield,
who claims to make the heavens weep
in startling volume whenever he un-
corks a harmless appearing brown jug
on a hilltop and looks at his shadow
over his right shoulder, appears to
have a rival. Frank Selee's inten-
tions may not be so damp as Hatfield's,
but it is nevertheless true that when
ever the Chicago baseball manager
journeys to the land Of sunshine he
has to wear his goloshes and oilskins
almost continuously. If the wet
weather would "hold off" for a few
days so the scheduled games between
the Cubs and the Looloos could be
played, the Windy City manager would
burst into one glad song of thankful
ness. He says 1t would be harmony
but there are many Missourians. Any
way, Selee is annoyed at the continual
upheaval Of the elements and he de-
clares that he will take his Cubs and
make a midnight assault on the r. M
abode in the Pasadena hills on the
ground of his intended victim being an
accompllce after the fact.
1t was hoped that one of the post
poned games could be played on the
Chutes park diamond this afternoon,
but Jupe Pluvius has been working
overtime, and the condition of the
ball grounds prohibits the scheduled
binplefest being held
Tomorrow afternoon at Santa Mon
lea the Looloos will pursue the sphere
in company with the men from Chicago
town. The game will be called at 2:3(
and will form an added attraction fol-
the seaside town carnival.
The remainder of the series will be
played on the Chutes park diamond
as, the weather permits, it being the
intention of the Chicago management
to take the team northward the latter
part of next week.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
EXPECT VICTORY
CONFIDENT OF DEFEATING U.
S. C. THIS AFTERNOON
Preparatory School Athletes Engage
In Their First Track Meet Of
the season-High School
Entries

The first field meet Of the season in
which the track squad of the Los An
geles high school competes will be held
on the oval of the University of South
ern California this afternoon, begin
ing promptly at $3.50 o'clock. The high
school boys are hopeful Of defeating the
varsity squad, and the most enthusi-
astic of the preparatory school sup
porters have figured out a victory by
about nine points. Harvey Holmes, the
athletic instructor at u. S. c., comedies
the high school boys chance of wrest-
ing the final honors from the Metho-
dists, but does not seem particularly
depressed over the prospects of his
pupils.
On the probable inability of Comstock
of U. S. c. to enter in the pole vault,
the high school has tossed the event in
among their laurels, figuring on john
son winning and Andrews securing sec
ond place.
! All the sprints are given to the Meth
odists on the strength of Parsons,
there being no high school partisan with
the hardihood to forecast anything but
an uninterrupted string of victories for
the experienced U. S. G. sprinter
Donnell is expected to press Parsons
in the 100 yard dash and take second
without much effort. Wilson of U. S.
c. is figured to show in this event.
The contestants in the 22O are also
figured "on form by the prep school
men to string over the line in the same
order. Hussey is conceded second place
man in the 44O yard dash and Goodwin
is counted upon to just get within the
points. After mature cogitation and
deliberation the high school laddies
have arrived at the satisfying and
encouraging conclusion that they will
capture the field day by final score
OF 81 to So. But certain u. s. G. men
promise to demonstrate the fallacy of
such calculation this afternoon.
Entries for the high school squad in
today's events follow:
One hundred and twenty yard

Lady Walker was heavily backed by
the wiseacres on the strength of her
fast morning trials. The odds against
her at one time were 3 to 1, but. the
money came in so fast that at post

in the going.
Ell Dinero ran cracking good race
for a green youngster and will win
soon.
Meadowhorn ran out on the first

keen contender. This one is a heavy

Lauretta Phillips showed a lot of
early speed but quit when the pinch
came.
Uppercut warmed up like wild
horse for the first race. The public
went to him heavily, forcing his odds
from Is to 10 to 1. He ran a bad
race and is evidently a false alarm.
Henry Ach was heavily backed to
win. One bookmaker had an agent go
down the line and place a $1OO in each
book and then the public went to it.
He fiattered his hackers to the head
of the stretch, where he stopped to
nothing.
Metlakatla, with McDaniels up was
made favorite. She never showed
a liking for distance and always
quit after going seven furlongs.
Stem Winder made his first appear
ance yesterday since he broke down
last year. He showed a turn OF his
old time speed for a quarter, then
quit badly. This race should do him
good and he will score brackets be-
fore the season is over.

CLOCK BUYER MAKES
EXTRAORDINARY FIND
Jewels Worth Thirty-Five Thousand
Dollars and a Will Discovered
Inside the Case

VIENNA, March 11.-Passing recent
ly through the Hungarian town of
Fiume, on the Adriatic, a gentleman
from Budapest noticed in an antiquary
shop an old silver clock in the form
of an. apple, which he bought for a
few shillings His astonishment was
great when on cleaning it he found the
following inscription in Italian:
81, Nicolo Geranddich, master of
merchant vessels Of the firm of Siver-
ich Brothers, leave all my treasures
hidden inside this clock to my cousin
Antonio Geranddich, living at Laibach
(Carniola) so that my unworthy son
may never find it.-Fiume, Jan. +,
1854"
Hidden among the mechanism of the
clock the fortunate buyer found large
number of precious stones of great
size, including seven large brilliants,
six emeralds and three sapphires, the
whole worth about $4,000.
After depositing the gems with the
authorities at Laibach, the owner of
the clock made inquiries which show
ed that Antonio Geranddich was dead,
and had left no descendants. The Lai-
bach officials, however, declined to
hand over the precious stones on the
ground that they have reverted to the
Austrian government.
AS the deceased however, was a
Hungarian subject, and the treasure
was found in Fiume, the Hungarian
government has begun an action
against the Austrian administration for
the recovery Of the gems.
