sunken types OF house, and under some
circumstances they will be preferred
to the other type.
The length of time ice may be kept
depends upon the character of insula-
ton provided. This will naturally
vary with the location of the ice house
and the method of construction. An
other important factor will be the cost
of construction.
The simplest type of ice preserva-
ton consists In stacking the cakes in
a compact mass on well-drained'slte,
as well protected as possible by nat
ural or artificial barriers from sun and
wind, and covering the mass with saw
dust, shavings, fodder. marsh hay, or
any other good insulating material.
Such a crude method is not to be rec
commended except as temporary
makeshift for ice which is to be used
early In the season.

PROHIBITION IN LOS ANGELES NO

TERESTS

Real estate in Los Angeles expert
enced an unexpected boom. when on
April l the city passed under the dry
regime. Before the real estate offices
closed for the day, more than a score
of the liquor shops were rented for
other purposes, and there was heavy
demand for choice locations In the
downtown section, especially for the
corners formerly used for saloons. The
manager of the rental department Of
one large real estate firm said:
"Of the fifteen saloon properties list
ed with US we had FIVE rented before
noon and negotiations were on for the
renting Of five others before the close
of the business day.
"We could have rented great many
of the saloons month ago had not
the owners desired to hold onto them
in the hope they would win their fight
In the courts.
There has been very little reduc-
ton in the rents. The passing of the
saloons will bring healthy business

Save Garden Seed.

Every boy and girl who has had a
garden this season should, whenever
possible, save seed for next years
planting. In many cases it is possible
to gather beans and peas that have be-
come too old for eating, thus assuring
a supply of good seed for next years
planting. AS rule. with limited gar
den areas 1t will not pay to grow beans,
peas, sweet corn and other vegetables
for the production of seed, but when
surplus is allowed to become too old
for eating it does pay to save this sur
plus for seed. Sufficient tomato,
squash, melon, cucumber. and corn
seed may be saved from the product Of
almost any garden provided little
attention is given the matter.
Seed should be saved only from
strong, healthy plants. In the case Of
beans, peas, and sweet corn, the seed
should be allowed to ripen on the
plant. In the case of such plants as
tomatoes, cucumbers, etc, the fruits
from which the seed is to be saved
should be well ripened. Remove the
seed and spread it out to dry. ALI
seed must be thoroughly dry before
being stored. Garden seeds must be
kept in vermin-proof, well-ventilated
receptacle. A tin bread box is ideal,
as it supplies the proper amount of
ventilation and mice cannot destroy
the contents. Care should be taken to
label every package Of seed to avoid
confusion at planting time. Keep the
seed box in dry, well-ventilated
room, such as a room on the second
floor Of the dwelling.

For the courts he deducts the fines

Outside of the desire of the gener-

Most of these clubs have big over

their parks are used.
This especially is true of the local
clubs The Giants have q thirty five
year lease on the grounds on which
the Brush Stadium is built and pay q
pretty big rental for it. The Yankees
pay $4,000 q year for using the Polo
