Still Time to Plant.


aeh, lettuce, radishes, beets and turnips
Early kinds that mature rapidly are
the ones to plant. A thorough prep.
aration of the soil, either new ground or
soil which has produced a crop is urged.
Straight rows, you will remember,
make cultivation a joy, and you should
plant turnips, radishes and beets with
but a half inch of soil over them. Spin.
ach and lettuce do not need that much.
After being up nicely theeplants should
be thinned to about these distances:
beets and turnips three inches; lettuce
six inches; radishes and spinach one
inch However, beets should be thnned
first to one.half or one inch, then later
on after half TO two thirds of them
have been used for greens the remainder
should be allowed to mature. In case of
lettuce young tender leaves may be pro-
duced by not thinning.

TROOP Ut DOWNS TROOP v AT
BASEBALL

The regular meeting of Troop III was
held on Wednesday. January II, al
though it was a brief one. At 1880
p. m. the long expected game of in
door baseball between Troop V and
Troop II was played. Hosea was on
the mound with Tyau behind the bat
for the Queens, while Alexander
Perkins occupied the pitchers box
for the Warlikes, with Guam Chew
behind the slugger's tail In the
eighth inning Hong Ying went
to the rescue c. Perkins, who had
been practically overwhelmed by the
Queens tidal wave.
In the first part OF the game Troop
III played too easy but in the fifth
and eighth cubes Of the score board
the Warlikes did some fancy stunts
on the battlefield that drove the
Queens to the long grass:
Annoy, the chief of the Warlikes
and Judge of the golden plate, did not
allow his soldiers to drive the enemy
away for keeps and Troop v made a
gallant attempt to save their bacon
but just failed. And so at last the
battle was decided in favor of the
Warlikes and treaty Of everlasting
grand feast, which consisted of
dip. in the tank as a refreshment.

FINE SWIMMING POOL FOR
PRISONERS CAUSES TALK
IBy Associated Prsssl

. DOUGLAS, Isle of Man.-There has
been sarcastic comment in the British
newspapers about the huge swimming
pool and luxuriously equipped gym
nasium which the government pro
vides for its war prisoners at the Cum
ningham camp The pool is about 100
feet long and is housed in an ornate
building of gaudy stucco, and the gym
nasium is as large and as we'll equip
ped as that at Yale university.
Cunningham Camp, before it was
taken over for prisoners, was a sum-
meT school and recreation camp for
En- Elish schoolboys The swimming
pool and gymnasium were retained
and have naturally proved popular
features with the prisoners. With a
few exceptions every man in the camp
visits the swimming pool at least once
a week. Tie average daily attendance
at the gymnasium is well over 1000.

Fifty-three cases of infantile paraly-
sis have been reported to the State
Department Of Health during the
present month. according to figures
given out yesterday by DR.. Ennion G.
Williams. State Health Commissioner.
The cases are confined chiefly to tha
Valley. the epidemic radiating from
Rockingham County. where twenty-oR
cases have been reported this month.
The August toll OF the disease has
already passed that of July. which
was the worst IN tho history of the
State. Forty-eiEht cases. the majority
in the same region. were reported dur
ing July The death list has reached
an even dozen, several being adults.
DR.. Williams reiterated yesterday
that the epidemic should not be con-
sidered as alarming. Both State and
Federal health officers are in the field
and efforts are being made to trace
the disease to its source. Particular
attention Is being paid to the theory
that the Infection Is spread from the
mouth secretions and from poor saR-
itation.

moned by this division for yesterday,
but only thirty-eight put in appear
ance when their names were called, Out
of the thirty-eight men examined
twenty-four were physically qualified.
but seventeen Of these filed claims for
exemption, thus leaving only seven ad-
ditional men available for service when
the first quota of men leaves for the
training camp.

they have failed to file any exemption

Those In charge of the boards are

they are confideat that they will be
able to get the rest of the men to make
up their quota from the nbsentees and
