quilted on one count and the jury dis.
agreed on the second, both OF which
charged failure to suppress the disturb.
ances, Charles II. Hoyt, commissioner
of public safety, was acquitted on both
counts. The jury disagreed in the cases
of Albert E. Stickney, c. c. Cook and
Roswell L. Wood, three other members
Of the city government
The jlny's report followed elaboration
extending over 10 hours which was be-

Goddard on downs 1t was then that La.
vote and Smith, charging the center rush
line for repeated gains, enabled the latter
TO break through for the only touchdown
1t was wholly unexpected and for that
reason the more spectacular. Smiths
cunning stood him in good stead and a
moment later Mcintosh neatly booted the
ball over the bar. There was a triple
tumble when Lavoie kicked to Rubin and
the ball went to st. Peters.
In the second period Doxie and Me.
Deavitt negotiated a successful forward
pass ON the fourth down, but the ball
went to Goddard. Mcintosh, bayoie and
Smith brought the ball to st. Peters

yond the line again. On a fake punt
Tree carried the ball around the end for
20 yards but the ball returned to God

tumble, the ball going out of bounds.

length of the field for what everyone but
he knew wasn't touchdown. The ref

possession on its own 25-yard line.
The third period was notable only for
frequent Interruptions because of light
injuries and much wrangling over techn-
calities, Referee Wiley albeit he proved
himself a capable official was not the
stern disciplinarian that the situation
usually called for and in consequence
there were interminab bic delays. Layoie
used his toe to good effect in punting and
two OF his boots were on par with the
superior punting of Tree. Goddard took
the ball after Lavoe had kicked to Kel
lev at the outset and the ball went down
to Rutlands l0-yard line in an almost
unbroken monotony of rushes. But the
punch was missing and the ball went to
St Peters. the period ending with the
ball belonging to the visitors on their 30
yard line.
st. Peters started a slashing offensive
in the fourth period. but the advance was
too good to last. A five yard penalty
was inflicted for offside and then Goddard
intercepted a pass. Haskell performed
in this quarter Goddard
made its downs, and another touchdown
seemed inevitable until Shea intercepted
rryon's pass Cummings got away with
, good punt to Tryon, but Goddard could
lot recover and the game ended with the
lall restored to st. Peters in midfield.

WASHINGTON COUNTY FARM
BUREAU ASSOCIATION.
Report for Week Ending Oct. 20.

The interest this week centered about
the two demonstrations of the tuber unit
method OF selecting potato seed. The
value OF this work cannot be over-esti-
mated. When we wish to select a sow
pig we always look for one that came
from large litter because it is well
known that she is more likely to give us
large filters of pigs than a sow that
comes from small litter. The same
principle holds true in the case of select
ing our seed potatoes. When we take
them from the bin, there is no chance to
improve the yield because we are as like
y to get potatoes that come from small
hills as we are to get those that came
from large yielding hills. The tuber unit
method of seed selection makes our pota.
to growing more of certainty as regards
constant high yields under, sometimes,
unfavorable conditions
The method is very simple. For a
start it simply consists in selecting from
the bin few, say 80, potatoes or more
and planting them one at time, cutting
each potato in four pieces as usual and
putting the four pieces into consecutive
hills, then skipping hill and cutting and
Pi"HtihS tIe seconu potato III the same
manner. Then when the potatoes are
dug in the fall each unit can be kept
separate, that is, all of the products Of
one potato will be found in the four hills
together. The differences i. the yield of
the different hills will be startling. We
have noticed yield OF 81 marketable po-
tatoes from one unit, while the next one
to it yielded only two marketable pota
toes and a lot of small ones.
Following are the tabulated results of
the two plots, showing the percentage
of units in each class. Only 20 units
were weighed exactly:

SAYS EIGHT HOURS DAILY
is TOO LONG FOR WORK
DR.. Edward Anderson of Rockville
Writes to The Star That Six
Hours Is a-Plenty.

To the Editor of The Star:
l feel conscientiously obliged to express
my views on the subject that is vital to
all government clerks in the District and
of intense interest to their many friends
Perhaps l have given more attention to
the subject of proper time for mental and
manual labor than has the average mem
ber of Congress. In my medical expert
ence of many years I have attributed to
the injudicious regulation of government
departments many cases of i'll health.
Leaving aside the comparison between the
surroundings of the average clerk and
the legislator of the proposed bill, to say
nothing of the appointed and self-ap-
pointed hours of each, feel compelled
to call attention to the hours of seden-
tary employment and brain strain of the
clerk
No man or woman whose work is worth
remuneration can do justice to mental
work for eight hours. Sitting in one po
sition SO long, intestines packed together,
head bent almost constantly in one posi-
ton, taxing the spine, eyes strained to
an alarming degree. all these conditions
have been paid to remedy, invariably
diagnosing the case a result of too
many hours in office"-never too few. I
do not hesitate to say that six hours of
brain and eye strain is more wearing on
the entire system than ten hours Of man
ual labor the latter who considers the
clerk as having snap" could only real
iZe the truth of my statement by exchang-
ing places with him for while l have
taught school six hours day and when
young helped on our farm sometimes from
sunrise to sunset. so l speak with actual
knowledge / asked clerk of thirty
years experience and who is now in a
position to work when it suits him, how
many hours he thought should constitute
a days work for a clerk. and he promptly
said six hours" Why should not some
other member of Congress bring himself
before the public by proposing to save
still more money by prolonging the time
to ten hours-granting. of course there
is no other way to replensh the govern
ment's Golfers?
