ditioning at this resort, which is the
winter home of William Wrigley, part
owner of the club.
Mitchell is credited with a great
deal of the success attained by Geo.
Stallings with the Boston Braves, but
the most enthusiastic follower of the
club knows he faces a Herculean task.
"The Cubs this season should be a
great improvement over last season,
for in Mitchell have one of the most
able leaders in the country" said
President Weeghman today "He is
very progressive and constructive and
knows how to handle the players.
With the addition of AL Demaree and
a few youngsters the pitching staff
will shape up to be one Of the best in
the country.
"Although l do not wish to predict
pennant, l believe the Cubs will be
in the fight all the way and will fin
ish in the first division"
One of the greatest problems for
Mitchell will be his catching staff.
Archer is slipping. Art Wilson Of
Federal League fame had a poor time
last season, but may come back. Row.
dy Ellit, the pudgy youngster from
the Coast league, showed up well last
season and many pin faith on him to
become a first string catcher. Bill
Dillhoefer, obtained from Milwaukee
in the draft, is hailed as a second
day Schalk.

LADIES! DARKFN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sui
phur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 50-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell
it has been applied. You simply
damped sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two it
becomes beautifully dark and CLOS
sy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youth
full appearance. 1t is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease. 66

is GIVEN CHOICE OF
HANGING OR SHOOTING
(By United PresS)


Salt Lake City, Feb. 14.-Convicted
of murder and given his choice of
being hanged or shot to death, Ora
zio Rapole, Italian farm hand who
killed his employer in a quarrel over
a horse, elected to be shot and will
die at the hands of a firing squad
here Friday morning. He is to be
shot to death by firing squad at
the Utah state penitentiary. Rapole
killed Amos B. Neff, ranchman, at
the latter's home in East Mill Creek,
June 26, 1916, using a shotgun.
Following the shooting Rapole fled
across the hills and was captured at
Park City. Following his conviction
of first degree murder, a motion for
a new trial was entered by newly re-
tanned counsel on the contention that
attorneys who defended Rapole were
under the influence of intoxicants at
the time of the trial. Judge Morse,
after having the motion under ad-
visement two weeks, overruled it and
sentenced the convicted man to be
executed.

believed by many to have been only
temporary. Fred Mollwitz and Ed
ward McGinnis, the latter from the
sand lots Of Boston, are candidates
for Saier's job.
Larry Doyle's case is causing local
fans much worry. The custodian of
the keystone sack broke his leg soon
after he came here. Steve Yerkes
will be Doyle's understudy.
Mitchell has four youngsters who
will try to fill the hole at shortstop.
Bill Workman did we'll during the last
few months last summer. He came
from Kansas City with great rep,
but his hitting was minus. The others
are Frank Murphy, a semi-pro Of Jol
let, ILL.,; Arthur Shay, Boston sand
lotter, and Harry Wolfe, drafted from
Duluth.
Charlie Deal, who played third base
for the Braves in 1914, later Hopping
to the Feds, may be given regular
berth at his old position. Another
possibility for this job is Herb Hunt
er, obtained from the Giants in the
Zimmerman trade. Rollie Zeider will

Mitchell has a wealth of outfield
material. Cy Williams, the elongated
star, will be seen again in center field.
Leslie Mann is the strongest candi-

outfield candidate. Harry Wolter,

are: Jacobson, obtained in the Zim

Barley Raising In
the Imperial Valley

to stool heavily. The early sown
barley is used as pasture and in Jan
ary allowed to go to grain.
The seed is usually broadcasted on
land previously irrigated, disced and
narrowed. The seed is then har-
rowed in and the land irrigated If
the soil crusts, much of the seed is
apt to be destroyed. Drilling in the
seed on land still moist from previous
irrigation gives excellent results, as
a perfect stand is almost assured, if
the soil is we'll soaked before plant
ing. 1t is good practice to drag
the field with a broad drag after
planting, to compact the earth about
the seed.
rrigation-Barley is irrigated by
flooding, the frequency of irrigation
dpending upon the character of the
soil. The idea is to maintain a fair
ripening time, when the last irrigation
ly even supply of moisture until
is given.
Insects and Diseases-The only in
sect pest of Importance is the aphis
This attacks the young barley in Feb
1uary and in many cases totally de-
stroys the crop. Barley planted early
often escapes, when young succulent
barley close at hand is destroyed.
Smut is found on some grain, but
can be prevented by soaking the seed
in formaldehyde solution.
Imperial Valley press., 1917-02-15

Adaptability-Barley is the princi-
pal grain crop of the valley. 1t is
better adapted to a warm climate
than any of the other small grains,
although the hot weather rather than
he cold is te limiting factor in its
growth. 1t sig rown for grain, for
winter pasture and for hay, the usual
practice being to pasture the fields
in the fall and early winter and to
let the barley go to hay or grain
in the spring. In this way it forms
a valuable green feed in the winter
when the alfalfa is practically dor
mant. The barley ripens in April and
May in plenty of time to prepare the
land and plant corn or milo maize.
Varieties-Common California bar
lev is almost universally planted. Bel
di, new early variety OF the SIX
row type, yields well and has the ad-
vantage of ripening from week to
ten days earlier than the common bar
ley.
Market-Barley is sold in the sack
at from S5 cents to $1.5O per hun
dred f. O. b. local points. A good
deal of the barley raised, however, is
fed locally.
Yields-Barley yields from 10 to
25 sacks per acre, IL to 18 sacks
hainu about an average under Ordi-
narily good care.
Soil and Cultural Requirements
Barley is less sensitive than other
grains to adverse soil conditions and
does much better on medium soil
than on a loose sandy type. Bar
ley is planted any time from Septem-
ber Is to February 1. From 80 to 35
pounds of seed is used for early
planting and from so to 60 for later
planting, when the barley is not apt

Submarine improvements.

Since April 1 German submarines
have been, equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render it more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats, to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface, or
anchor themselves to the bottom; but
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only cOnserveS
fuel, but prevents it's enemies from
hearing the throb of the submarines
propellers. Telescope periscopes give
further assistance to the submarine in
concealing it's position. A mixture of
oxygen and strained gas is now used
in the engines, and the exhaust is
washed free of smoke and broken into
small bubbles, which do not leave a
wake. Finally, new listening devices
enable it to hear and judge the size of
ships at a considerable distance.-Ex-
change.
