George Grigsby again demon. strated his remarkable ability as cue wielder by winning from Wallace Smith by a score of 400 10 I6o at the Board of Trade bil- Hard annex last night. Smith, who is handicapped at $50 was not at any time in the running after Grigsby had reached his stride. Runs of eight, ten and twelve were easy for Grigsby and the remakarble exhibition was topped by run of 63 points, which is an exceptional score at the fourteen inch balk line game. Jrigsby also made runs of 10 and 22, just to show that the run was not all that he could do. The game was watched throughout by l packed house. The average of he winner was 5.7I, that ot the oser 2.44. Crowley and Mueller also played a match at 100 even, Mueller won by score of 100 to 5I in Io9 innings

 War and politics aside, what is now commencing to disturb the public mind more than any hing else is the forthcoming All Alaska Sweepstakes. Speaking of the race, we are informed that there is to be given Tn the near future a show for the benefit of the doggies that will outclass any previous Kennel Club road show ever given in Nome or anywhere else. It is said that much new talent has been secured, some of which is surprlse to those who are promoting the affair. Besides the new blood some of Nome's old favorites will be seen again in entirely new features. They say that some ot the ladies will be among the strongest Tn the cast and some gowns will be dis played that will be a treat to the feminine element of Nome. Some of the swellest gowns that have been seen in Nome this winter will be shown, several of which have been kept exclusively for this occasion. The date of the affair has been set early in April and the management states that The show will be replete with beautiful women, elegant cos tunes, new songs, new sketches and some double turns that will surprise the Nome public.

DECIDING ON TIME TO PLOW
Amount OF Water Accumulated From
Snow and That Taken Up by
Weeds Is Greatest Question.

In deciding the time to pillow, the,
advantages ana disadvantages of both
spring plowing and fall blowing must
be taken into consideration. Heavy
rains in August indicate that fall plowI
ing should be done, as the gain OF
moisture during the winter by the stub
BILE land probably would not equal the
loss OF moisture taken by the weeds
in the fall. If only light rains occur,
however, the moisture in the soil pro-
duced by these rains probably would
be more than offset by the greater
quantity Of snow held by the stubble
during the winter, and the reduction
OF the weeds in the crop. Spring
blowing would then be better. The
availability of labor in the fall will
influence the amount OF blowing done.
but greater effort should be made
to do the blowing If there is heavy
precipitation than IL the rainfall is
light. The only advantage in late fall
blowing is that the amount of spring
labor in preparing the seed bed Is re-
duced. This advantage. however. may
be Offset by reduction in the yield.
In deciding when a field should be
plowed the question of whether q
greater amount of water will be accu-
mulated from snow than ALL be taken
up by weeds is the greatest question
to be decided. and this also must be
done by the man on the ground.

PROPER HOUSING FOR TOOLS
All implements Should Be Protected
From Weather When Not in Use
to Save Depreciation.

The only way to overcome deprecia.
ton is to provide proper housing for
all tools and implements. This will

they are not in use. While the cues.

equally important that the defective
and broken parts be repaired.
A workshop is required to maize
these repairs. II need not be large.
