In the current issue of the trade
Journal of the paint trade, which car
ries lifelong name of Pacific Paint,
Wall Papaer, Picture and Art Goods
Trade there appears an editorial ar
ticle and a communication which shou
interest Wash. farmers, particularly
,tn Puget Sond. The articles are in
relation to this flax crop.
There is required in the United
states over 81 100000 bushels of flax
seed. or linseed as it is called i'm the
trade, and of this the United States
prodces onuly about 46 per cent.
On the Pacific coast there is used a
nually upwards of 10000 barrels of lin
seed oil to produce which requires n
bout $4,000 tons of flaxseed, the seed
Welding about nineteen lbs of oil to a
fifty-six pound bushel.
BY reason of the increased demand
all over the world the production OF
flaxseed has not kept pace with the
demand and the valus of flax have in
creased from about to cents h.,
andthe writer of the article in the Pa
cific Paint Trade believes that with
these conditions of planting of flax pro
misses to be very profitable for the
American farmer for some years to-
come.
Some years ago experiments in flax
growing. specially with view to the
linen industry, were made on Puget
Sound and, so far as plant and seed
wet, were wholly suce essiul, though
o.her circumstances stopped the thea
proposed establishment OF the linen
industry here. Then the United
Safes was an exporter of flax in its
serious forms. Today thiss county is
heavy importer.
Now appears to be good time to
renew the effort to establish flax
should be grown if only for the sake
of flaxseed meal. by-product of jim
sedgrowing on the Sound where flax
seed oil making a most valuable and
needed stock feed. The Experiment. is
worth looking up and trying by pro-
gressive farmers.

A certain playwright relates how

At last the applicant did succeed In

There were. Of course, number

prevent the seedy man from interrupt

with requests for job.
Exasperated, the stage manager at
length turned to the pianist and Or
dered him to play an accompaniment
for the stranger. With considerable
hesitation the seedy person raised
what voice he had in song. The result
was bad as bad could be.
The manager suddenly commanded
him to desist.

The Art Of Carpentry.

How many common figuratlve ex-
pressions in our language are bor-
rowed from the art Of carpentry may
be seen from the following sentence:
"The lawyer who filed the bill, shaved
the note. cut an acquaintance, split a
hair. made an entry, got up a case,
framed an indictment. impaneled a
jury, put them into a box, nailed a
witness, hammered a Judge and bored

SCARED FROM FIRST
ON DROPPED STRIKE

Mike Mitchell, of the Cincinnati Reds
claims the oldest play he ever saw in a
ball game came up during game be-
tween the All-Nationals and Athletics on
the Pacific coast.
Larry Doyle as on first and Dick
Eagan at bat" says Mitchell. ICY Nor
gan as pitching. and ara Thomas catch
ing for the Athletics. a fast one bounc-
ed out of Thomas glove. and rolled into
the diamond Thomas lost the ball, and
Egan stood between HIM and the sphere.
The bali was only few feet away, and
all of our players pointed in opposite
directions TO confuse him.
Doyle noted Thomas confusion and
ran from first to second. lie stopped at
that base, and saw the catcher had not
located the ban. He then went to third
and trotted into the home plate from that
station.
1.-THE center fielder could have run in
and recovered the ball IN time TO keep
Doyle from scoring. but every player
stood stock still with the ball IN plain
view expecting Thomas to discover It
any moment.
"All the boys enjoyed good laugh at
Thomas expense, when Egan finally
steped out Of the batter's box. and show
ell him that the ball had been within a
few feet Of him all the time"

BRIDGE OPENED
Structure Over SuSquehanna
Designed For Heaviest
Trains

The new double track steel bridge across
the susquehanna river at IIavre dc Grace.
built by the Philadelphia division Of tho
Baltimore and Ohio was opened for traf-
hc yesterday. The now bridge was con-
structed at cost OF more than s2.oOo,OOA
and is one Of the most imposing structures
of its kind in the country It is slightly
more than mile in length and the track
is 100 feet above the river.
More than year ago the work OF con-
structing new bridge on the site OF the
old single track one was begun. It was
hardly started before the false work
erected to take the place OF the span on
the eastern side Of the river fell as
freight train was passing. Part OF the
train dropped a hundred feet into the
river and several lives were lost. Since
that time all Baltimore and Ohio trains
between Philadelphia ana Baltimore have
used the Susquehanna bridge Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad at Havre de Grace IN
crossing the river, a connecting line be-
tween the two roads about a mile apart
having been constructed In two days time
following the collapse OF the Baltimore
and Ohio bridge.
Tho completion Of the new bridge viii
probably result in a quickening OF the
Royal Blue Line train schedule between
New York and Washington.
