Sea Call Will Probably APP
pear for First Time
Under Canvas Late
in June.

The great American public loves q
true sportsman first, last and ali the
time. 1t found new and sincere one
last year in Alexander Smith Cochran,
the yatchsman, who, when there seemed
to be a lack of interest-or money
for the defence of the Americas Cup,
jumped into the breach and practically
challenging the Herreshoffs, built,
equipped and raced all summer at his
own expense the 70-foot sloop Vanitie
against the Resolute and the Defiance.
Captain Cochran, who is a member
of the New York, Larchmont and other
yacht clubs, is again in the public eye,
this time as the owner of the biggest
three masted schooner yacht in the
world. lie has named her the Sea Call,
and she was launched last Thursday.
Although William Gardner, who de-
signed the Vanitie, also fashioned the
Sea Call primarily for ocean cruising,
those who have seen the sweet lines
of her hull declare that there is speed
in every one of them, and all yachtsmen
will be ready TO congratulate the own
or OF the big schooner when she makes
her frs. appearance under canvas,
which will probably be late in June,
II is understood that the Sea Call will
accompany the New York Yacht Club
on its annual cruise in August. which
is likely 10 take the feet through the
Cape Cod Canal and across Massachu-
sctts to Marblehead Harbor.
So that he may enjoy TO the full the
pleasure of cruising in the Sea Call,
Captain Cochran has turned his sloop
Vanitio over TO former Commodore Cor
nelius Vanderbilt and William Butler
Duncan, who will race her this season
against the New York Yacht Club syn
dictate sloop Resolute. This is welcome

tihcally designed hump, where the ball
leaps into the air like the famous ski
jumpers Of Norway and Switzerland.
If the shot is properly directed, with
just the right amount Of force, ii will
enter the bull's-eye of the target,
placed sixteen feet beyond the hump.
In addition to the accuracy Of direc-
tion needed in bowling. skee-ball re-
quires the nicely Of force possessed by

Butchers Lose
Their Big
Trade
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 27.-Two thousand
butcher shops have been closed IN
England since the beginning of the
war. The increased prices of meat,
and the effort in most households to
economic closely, has been the cause
for the decreased consumption, which
hit the retail butcher very hard.
Probably more meat than ever be-
fore imported into the British Isles,
but large proportion of it goes inn
mediately into the hands of the gov
eminent for supplying the soldiers at
home and abroad. The business OF
the average retail butcher, according
to trade journals, has decreased 20
per cent.

FAT ACTOR LAMENTS
NOBODY LOVES HIM

That a fat man is the most sensi-
tive creature in the world is the con-
tention of Frank Harsh, who weighs
200 pounds, and is playing the part Of
Daniel Stuart, an eccentric comedy, in
the musical spectacle, The Prince of
Tonight" coming to the Opera House,
Tuesday night, March Both.
To look at Harsh, one would never
imagine that he had been a soldier,
his waist line of 100 inches or more,
it would seem, could never have fit
into one of Uncle Sans uniforms, but
Harsh explains that his corpulency
developed after his service in the
SPANISH war. If he had re-
NAMED soldier he would not now
be an actor-fat man. And which is
worse, he asks?
Harsh, who has been playing comedy
roles for several years, says there is
difference between a fat man and a
man who is fat. The fat man, accord
ing to his definition, is a fat-headed
slob who takes great pride and pleas
ure in patting himself, and gloating
over his avoirdupois. On the contrary,
the man who is merely fat feels that
he did not achieve it, but that nature
thrust it upon him. The actor says
that his battle against flesh has been
much warmer than any fighting he
experienced against the Spaniards.
Mr.. Harsh says with grief in his
tones, that he has found the old
phrase Nobody Loves at Fat Man"
literally true.
Il have never married because l
lave never found anyone who would
have me. If any nice girl wants to
propose, shs may drop me line, care
of the above company"

Chapter 4.
(BY PROF. SPADE.)


When you SOW the seed, the surface
Of your bed should be moist, but not
wet. The best way to plant seed is to
make drills. That is; take a stick
with blunt point and run it along the
soil in straight lines the length of
your bed, or the width, whichever
seems best to you after figuring out
how the sun will hit it. For large
seed the drills should be an inch or
little more in depth. Nearly all seed
packages give instructions as to the
righth depth. Finer seed should be
put in very shallow drills and the fin
est seed should be scattered on the
surface.
Cover the drills with the finest dirt
and press down lightly, but firmly.
Where the seed is scattered over the
surface take board and press the
soil down evenly all over. This will
set the seed into Mother Earth, assist
| ing termination.
After planting your seed moisten
the soil, but do not deluge it. The
soil should be kept in moist condi-
ton until the seedlings begin to come
through. There are some soils which
dry out to considerable depth in the
middle of the day under a hot Nav
sun. To keep them from getting too
dry while you are away at work, put
newspapers over the seed bed in the
morning. Sometimes straw or hay is
scattered thinly over the beds: But
whatever scheme you adopt be sure
that the roots, when they first peep
out, don't peep into dry soil. Similar
ly they should not peep in a soil so
wet that it is mud.
You are now waiting for your little
plants to come through the surface.
From now on until you pick your
crops you should do some work every
single day. This daily work will often
consist of nothing more than watch
fulness. There may be frequent rains.
A hot lun after a single shower will
soon form cake on the surface and
dry out the moisture from below This
cake should be broken up as soon as
you can get at it. If you can get TO
work on that caking while the surface
is still moist, but not muddy, it will be
better for your plants. Keep the sur
face loose. This means all the time,
spring, summer until harvest.
