Pacific Coast League;

Conditions in California and in the

such an organization. but at best out

HEAVY MAT TITLE
UNSETTLED QUESTION
Caddock and Stecher May Settle
Argument in Finish Bout Soon.

Who is heavyweight chamsion

Earl Caddock, a farmer boy.

Stecher made a brave attempt 10
step into the shoes of the willy
Gotch- when the peer Of them all
decided to retire with his escutcheon
untarnished by defeat.
He toured the country meeting
all Corners and defeated them all
until last year when he was matched
to grapple with John Olin. a Compare
lively unknown Finn in Boston.
Stecher refused to go through with
the match when his famous scissors
hold failed to send his opponent to
the mat
Stecher. however. still claimed the
championship and it was not until he
met Caddock a few months later
that his claims were seriously ques-
toned.
The Stecher-Caddock match was
held in Omaha. Stecher won a fall
and lost one. Then he refused to
return to the ring for the final fall.
Gene Malady, the Omaha promoter,
who refereed the match, forfeited the
fall to Caddock
Caddock Immediately claimed the
title. So did Stecher.
In the meantime Caddock has
worked faithfully, being coached by
Gotch and Farmer Burns. He US un-
doubtedly in better shape than he was
when he met Stecher last.
Little has been heard from
Stecher. He is always in training
and should be as good as ever when
he steps into the ring in New York.

HARVARD ROWING PUT OFF.
Voluntary Work on Machines Not
to Beoin Until Iannau

Cambridge, fass. Dec. s.-There is
to be no rowing at Harvard until
early in January. With the approach
OF winter it has been customary to
throw open the tanks in the Var
sity boat house for voluntary work
on the rowing machines. This year,
however. the advisory rowing COM
mittee voted to keep the boat house
closed until after the Xmas recess.
This move is in the interests of
economy, since considerable saving
in coal, help and other expenses can
be made.
During the first week in January
voluntary rowing. however, will start
at the boat house, with Coach Bill
Haines being in charge Of the candi-
dates for the freshman and Var
sity eights. He will direct the men
individually on the rowinE machines,
and as they become proficient,

Garden Plan Saves Labor.

A little time spent in planning
a garden will save a great deal
of subsequent labor. C. G. Car
penter Of the Missouri College
of Agriculture suggests that
the rows of vegetables run
north and south so that one side
will receive sunlight in the
morning and the other in the af-
ternoon. This is the best ar
rangement wherever it is pos
sible. The slope of the garden,
if it is on a hillside, may pre-
vent running the rows north
and south. It is also advisable
to space the rows so that the
horse-drawn implements can be
used. Sometimes it pays to ar
range even such small plants as
lettuce and radishes so that
they may be cultivated with
labor saving Implements.
In general, planting should be
begun on one side of the garden
and continued to the other.
This will enable the gardener to
keep the weeds down on the UNI
planted area with minimum
labor.
Vegetables planted at the
same time and requiring SINH
lar cultivation should be group
ed in adjacent rows. However,
the time of planting is more inn
portant than the kind of cultiva-
ton required.
Rhubarb, horse radish, aspara
gus, winter onions, and other
plants which occupy the ground.
longer than a year should be
set apart. Parsnips, satisfy, and
similar crops should be placed
near the perennials. Vegetables
which require only a short
growing season such as onions
!. cabbage, lettuce, ~radishes, peas
and beets, and second paintings
these crops may follow in ordel
as planting proceeds across tn,
garden.

ever between the two cases.
Mexico was in a state of such
internal turmoil that we had
very good reason to fear that
the arms we should sell to Mexi-
cans might at any distant date
be turned against ourselves. 1t
was an act of common prudence.
And the Chancellor knows that
there is no reason in law or
right why we should not sell
munitions to the European bel
ligerents. It is an immemorial
right of a neutral, more than
once exercised by Germany her
self. We can never be quite
sure whether a German states
man is actually capable of be-
lieving what he says, or wheth-
er he is Intentionally defying
reason and misstating fact in
order to deceive the German
people. But surely the Chan
cellor's speech in the Reichstag
was pretty strong meat even for
German digestion.

England promised that Ameri-
can and neutral lives should not
be destroyed. She mas faithfully
kept her word. We need waste
little time over the German
Chancellor's perversion of the
truth of history. A far graver
matter is the profound moral
difference between the conduct
of England and. the conduct of
Germany. England, with the
bad example of Germany before
her, pledged herself to take no
innocent life. She has kept her
pledge. Germany has now
twice warned the world that she
would destroy the lives of any
and all innocent persons who
ventured within the limits of
her u~nlawfully prohibited zone.
To the extent Of her powers she
has kept that horrid pledge. 1t
is a dreadful record to put upon
the page of history, but there it
stands and will forever stand,
written in blood, a chronicle of
German infamy. "The Prus-
slams are savages," said Goethe,
civilization makes them Zero
cious." With fury and every
contrivance of ruthlessness they
are striving to deserve that
Characterization.
Why does the German Chan
cellor direct the shafts of his
censure and his misrepresenta-
ton solely against the United
States? The other neutral ma
tions almost without exception
have protested against Ger
many's criminal assaults upon
their commerce. They have thus
far refrained from a rupture of
diplomatic relations because in
their case there was no pledge
to be broken. But their atti-
tude, in law and in morals, is the
same as our own. Mr.. Won Beth
mann Hollweg says that Presi-
dent Wilson on Jan. 81 "brus-
quely broke off relations" and
that his act sis probably without
precedent in history" This is
the very audacity of untruth.
1t was on April 10, 1916, that
we warned Germany that II she
did not Immediately declare and
effect an abandonment Of hel
methods of submarine warfare
| against passenger and freight
carrying vessels we should "havC

HATCH CHICKENS NOW.
POultryman Makes His Greatest
Profit from Birds Hatched Be-
fore the First of May.

greatest profit from the chickens
which are Matched before May
1. The early Matched cockerels
are sold as broilers when the
broiler market is at its best. The
flood of late Matched broilers
brings prices down and congests
the market. The greater returns
received from early Matched go
far toward defraying the cost of
raising the pullets. These pullets
in turn begin laying when eggs
are bringing the highest prices
and when there is the greatest
shortage Of strictly fresh eggs.
Still more important, early
Matched chickens grow more
rapidly than those matched late
in the season and are much less
likely to become sick. The late
Matched chickens always are the
first to catch cold and spread
disease throughout the flock.
Chickens Matched late in the
year will not mature before cold
weather and usually will not lay
until well into the winter, or
even toward spring. This means
that they will have to be fed and
carried over for several months
at a constant expense, with no
return, and this at a time when
feed is at it's highest.
The early Matched pullets can
be developed to a large extent
on range, and a saving in grain
feed is possible in this way.
The highest producing pullets
are those which begin laying
early. To get into the 200-egg
class a pulIet must lay 60 or
more eggs before March L. In
order to do this, pullets must be
Matched before May l., so that
they will begin laying by the 1st
, of November. In the section of
Z the country north of the Ohio
: River it is advisable to begin
Matching not later than March
and to continue Matching at in
t tervals through March and
April, so that pullets of different
! ages will be coming on, and the
!, broilers will not all be ready fol
: market at the same time.
