This is high appreciation, but there
are plenty who are sure that the kid
Coveleskie deserves it. So far this
season he has been winning a fat per-
centage of his games and under the
careful eye and direction of Lee Fohl
he should have a great year Fohl
had seen the value Of giving young
Covey his regular turn in the box and
this spring he has been showing
greater confidence than ever before.
There are several more younger
brothers in the Covcleskie family who
are playing ball and showing great
promise, but so far Stanley looks to
be the brightest star of an unusual
baseball family.

ELECTRIC SHOCKS FOR CROPS
Experiments Have Shown That This
Treatment Is Inclined to Increase
the Yields Greatly.

The government has decided to
conduct experiments in Hereford
shire with a view to finding out
whether the growth of varions crops
cannot be accelerated by means of
electricity.
The idea is not new. Years ago
Sir Oliver Lodge inclosed a field in
Worcestershire in a sort of overhead
cage of wires, strung upon poles,
through which a powerful electric
current was made continuously to
pass, says London Tit-Bits. As a
result the crops growing underneath,
we're found to be increased by near
ly one-third of their yield under .6Ts

materially increased; Wholesome ex-
perimenters have attained even more
startling results by means of power-
full electric arc lamps suspended
above growing crops and kept burn

the growth of the plants in much the
same way as continuous bright sun
shine does.

he grabbed the revolver with one

pursuing and firing at him with his
own weapon. Several days later the
police arrested Douglas Jeter, nine
teen years old, who admitted he bad

step in highwayman's career. Colo
