HIGH SCHOOL MEETS
POLY AGAIN TODAY
BASEBALL TEAMS FROM TWO
SCHOOLS CLASH
Second Game of the Series for County
Championship VIII Be Contested
This Afternoon at Chutes
Park

Today the baseball teams of Poly
technic and Los Angeles high schools
will battle for victory in the second
game of a series of three being played
between these two schools for the
championship of Los Angeles.
Polytechnic won the first game of the
series by the score of 1 to 0. This con-
test was one of the fastest ever played
between prep schools in the city,
neither team getting a man around the
bases until the eighth inning.
If Polytechnic can take the second
game from the L. A boys this after
noon they win with it the county league
championship, while If the lads on the
hill can turn the tables and win from
the fast bunch of mechanics they have
still another chance to win the coveted
rag. The game will be called at Chutes
park at $780,
The lineup of both teams will be as

SAY LIMIT is REACHED
IN OUR LUMBER OUTPUT

Washington, Dec. 5.-That the top
notch of production of lumber IN the
matted States was reached during last
Year and that from now on the annual
Production would either remain the
same as last year or would show de-
crease, was the startling announcement
made before the national conservation
commission by Overton W. Price, asso-
clate forester in the United States TOT
est service He also said that the an
nual cut Of timber last year would COW
er piece of land 1000 acres in area
and would make pile as high as the
Washington monument.
1t has been estimated" continued
MI. Price, ''that our industries subslst-
ing wholly or mainly upon wood pay
,he wages of more than one and one
,laf million persons; that the or1gina,
forests covered one-half of the United
states and existing forests cover one
fourth; that only one-fifth OF al! our
sanding timber is publicly owned ano
mat only 70 per cent of our public TOT.
eSts and less than per cent OF oul
private forests are conserved by us
The average growth in all our LOT
ests Is about twelve cubic feet per acre,
VI about seven billion cubic feet. bu'
we we take from the forests twenty -tnree
uiillon cubic feet each year, or owe,
''iree times what the forests produces.

Negotiations for purchase of rights

the Cooperage company, says that a

the railroads. If accepted he says that
the sale will necessitate the entire re-
construction of the plant, since seven

company wants. All these would nee
essarily be removed and would force
the cooperage company further into

had been made was considered reason,

Fun Is a Necessity.

Most people have the impression
that fun and humor are life incident
ais, not necessities; that they are lux
uries, and have no great bearing on
ones career.
Many think Of fun as frivolous, indi-
eating a lack of serious purpose IN
life. There are parents who rebuke
their children because they want to
have fun and go in for good time.
These parents have yet to learn the
great part which fun and humor play
in the physical economy, and their in
fluence on the life.
What a complete revolution In your
whole physical and mental being comes
after seeing a really funny play! You
went to the play tired, jaded, worn OUT
discouraged. All your mental facui-
ties were clogged with brain ash; you
could not think clearly. When you
came home you were a new being.
A business man, on returning nome
after a perplexing, exhausting, exasper-
ating days work, experiences the same
thing. Romping and playing with the
children, spending jolly evening with
his family or friends, telling stories ana
cracking jokes, rest his jaded nerves
and restore him to his normal conol-
ton.
I have been as much refreshed by
a good, hearty laugh, by listening 70
good, wholesome fun-stOries, jokes
or by spending an evening with frlenos
and having a good time, as by long,
sound nights sleep; and look back
upon such experiences as little vaca-
