persons had gone far in taking the final
appeal and the message was designed to

And the footbalIers have been 60
ing on much as they did before the
war. Crowds of $4,000 are nothing
unusual for a big match in the Brit
ish isles. The authorities decided that
football was a good thing, because it
took the minds of the spectators
from the war mOmentaTily and gave
them relaxation which is necessary

No better trained set of men could be
found than the diamond athletes, so
far as physiqUes are concerned. They
would be valuable fighting units.
But they also have their place in
entertaining the nation, in giving it
an interest to offset the dread news
of fighting and carnage. The play
ers of the big leagues will be drilled
each day by army men, and, at the
close of the season, if such a thing
is necessary, they can be fused into
the army, hardened by several
months of active work in the open
and familiar with the manual of
arms.
The nation which has some inno-

BASEBALL TO GO ON-WAR MAY
HALT OTHER SPORTS
BY Mark Shields

Now that war has been declared,
what will be the outlook for sport in
the immediate future? What will
happen to the baseball races, what
will the golf bodies do with regard
to championship competition, and
how will the colleges act?
Those are big questions now, and
at least two of them are speculative
matters that must wait longer for an
answer. The couegians have already
acted, practically in concert, cancel
ing all forms of athletic endeavOr and
employing the time in military drill.
Yesterday the goIfing peopIpe were
of the opinion that their champion
ship fixtures would not be interfered
with. A day may change this opinion.
The war to US is not the same per-
sOnal thing it is to the British, COM
parable to us in sport, but the best fu-
ture line on the American conduct
of sport during waTtimes can be
cleaned from the way in which the
English have handled the question.
EngIand's cricketers put away
their bats and the golfers locked
their bags. They went to war. The
cricketers compare closely to our
college form Of athletics, the wicket
game being England's highest form
of amateur athletic endeaVOr. And
golfers are about on a par the world
over. Therefore, it is reasonable to
believe that college sport will die dur
ing the war.
The golf bodies will assuredIy cut
down their list Of events and may
cancel entirely. That doesn't mean
golf will be abolished. It will still be
played, but not with official sane
ton and in large tournaments.
To gain a comparative idea of what
the organized baseball people will do
we must look across the water to
England's football teams. Football is
England's professional game which

 On the Green river, which runs from the Yellowstone Park across Utah into the Colorado river, every mile of bed and bars contains gold dust. It is called flour gold because of its extreme fneness, and until re- gently there has been no method whereby the dust could be recovered. The problem finally was solved by A.. F. Cutler, mining engineer and prospector. Mir. Cutler built on that river the biggest sluicebox ever de- signed, and each day it is handling 2,OOO cubic yards of sand and gravel and recovering from thirty to thirty - five ounces of gold dust. From each cubic yard of the mixed placer-dirt the gold recovered is not more than sufficient to cover the end of a com mon pencil and its value is about 35 cents; but the total recovered each day is worth $7OO, while the cost of operation is less than $13O. Thus $57O is netted daily. The big sluice box is $50 feet long-twenty times as

Important rulings have just beer made in the U. s. land office concern ing the payment of inStallmentS or lots sold in government townsite. along the government railroad Numerous questions have arisen a Anchorage through the sale of lots O' fractions of lots, which caused con confusion to the townsite officials.
 The cases cited covered all of the difficulties which both land office or ficials and lot owners. in all the town sites where lots are sold by the gov ernment direct.
 The commissioners ruling follows
 In reply you are advised that tn, regulations governing the sale Of lot, in Alaska, signed by the president under date of June l9, 1915, publish. ed in circular 49l. page 54, approved July l9, 1916, state in part as fol. lows:
 Nothing herein will pre-, vent the transfer by deed of the in, tereSts secured by the purchase and the partial payment for the lot, but the assignee will acquire no greater right than that of the original pur- chaser, and the final entry and patent will issue to the original purchaser when all payments are made.
 The said regulations also provide further:
 If any person who has made partial payment on the lot pur- chased by him, fails to make any sue ceeding payment required under these regulations at the date such payment becomes due, the money deposited oy such person for such lot will be for feited, and the lot, after forfeiture IS declared, will be subject to disposition as provided herein.
 There is no authority of law for the issuance of patent other than in ar- codance with the official plat and in the name of the original purchaser.
 In the case of Cragin vs. Powell u2O U. S. 69l-696), the Supreme Court says:
 It is a well settled principle that when lands are granted according to an official plat of the survey of such lands. the plat itself, with all its notes, lines, descriptions, and land marks. become as much a part of the grant or deed by which they are con veyed, and controls, so far as limits are concerned, as if such descriptive features were written out upon the face of the deed or the grant itself.
 A concise answer, therefore, to he questions asked by you as heretofore set forth is that full payment must be made at the date due covering each annual iustallment on any particular lot; that receipt for such payment should be issued to and in the name of the person paying the money but should show thereon the description of the lot or lots and the name of the original purchaser on account Oi whose purchase the payment Is made and 10 be credited.
 Your office need not be concerned as to the party making such payments but you are not authorized to issue any receipt for remittances in any form other than those prescribed in circular 22S. Such payments cannot therefore be considered as made un- less tendered in the prescribed form on or before the date due, or if tend cred by personal check or other un- authorized form until the check or other remittance has been "collected or paid" and the amount thereof placed to the receivers credit on or before the date due.

81 know of just one practice that
may help cut the seed potato bill in
the long run for the man who is plan
ming to plant spuds in his home gar
den," says the experiment truck crops
man at Iowa State college. That is
to test all plants"
BY testing" his seed the gardener
may be sure that every piece he
plants will produce, thus eliminating
dead hills, and in the end saving
money. Here's the way to test:
Pack the potatoes, seed end up, in
tight mass in a wooden box. Cover
with damp sand and cover this with a
damp cloth. In a. few days the po-
tatoes will sprout. AS soon as they
begin to sprout remove the cloth and
expose them to the light as the sprouts
will stop growing and harden. When
ready to plant, cut the potatoes in
pieces, one sprout to a piece. Dead
eyes will not have sprouted and
should be thrown away. This practice
means earlier potatoes for the sprout-
ing process has been started already.
Plant as soon as the ground is warm
and dry. ~ to Is bushels to the acre,
three inches deep and as the vines
develop, work the soil in toward them
