PLANTING SEED
WHEAT BY PLANE
IN CALIFORNIA
Machine Is Partly Wrecked
but a Second Attempt to
Be Made as Soon as An
other Is Obtained

Fresno, Calf, Dec. 27.-Forced
to land in Tulare Lake bottom
mud, an airplane piloted by Dick
Doane, flying for Loxla c. Thorn
ton of Fresno, was partly wrecked
shortly after noon today, delaying
experiments with planting seed
wheat from the air over 10000
acres of Kings county farm lands,
Doane and a mechanic We're un-
injured, the ship nosing over and
breaking minor parts in the coils
ion with the ground.
A second attempt to complete
the experiment, which is being
watched with interest by about fif-
ty Kings county reclamation dis
trict land owners, will be made as
soon as another plane from Thorn
ton Field can be procured and
equipped for the work, Thornton
said.
Land included in the aerial seed
ing plan lies both within an un-
protected area Of the lake and be-
hind a levee built to hold back
lake waters, according to Harry
Eastwood, author of the seeding
plan. and representatives of own
ers in that territory.
Soil is of a rich floury nature
requiring no cultivation or turning
previous to planting, Eastwood
said.
It is the belief of Eastwood, he
said. that grain dropped from an
airplane will automatically plant
itself by the force of gravity from
100 feet altitude.

been reported in Bernalillo county.

Since the public health bureau
began keeping records, two persons
have died from this disease in
Bernalillo county. one an employe
Of the Santa Fe who was brought
into the city to be treated, and the
other q resident of the city whose
name was not given out as the rec
ords are regarded as confidential
matter.
DR.. George S. Luckett, public
health director, said nobody had
discovered how this disease was
spread, or what caused It; but il
was known not to be highly conta-
gious since rarely two persons in
the same family had the disease,
There was no connection between
the two deaths in Bernalillo coun-
ty he said.
1t was stated here yesterday that
the most recent cases reported
from here might not be sleeping
sickness, as developments since the
first diagnosis seem to indicate
that it is no so serious an ailment.

BY NORMAN E. BROWN

All around utility player
In baseball leaves the majors
with the passing of Harold jan
vrin, late of the Brooklyn Dodgers
to the Seattle club of the Pacific
coast league.
Janvrin served little time as
regular during his career in the
big leagues, dating from 1913 to
the present winter, 1t was as sub
stitute that he drew his pay-and
earned 1t.
Janvrin Jumped from the high
school diamond to the major
leagues. He was playing with his
school team in Boston in 1911
when grabbed by the Red Sox.
They gave him a tryout that sum
mer and then sent him to Jersey
City in 1913 to acquire finish.
The next year he returned to the
Red Sox and played there until war
interrupted his career In 1917.
When he re-entered the game the
Washington Senators acquired him
and he played the role of utility
man for Grif until sold outright
to the Buffalo club in the Interna-
tional league in 1919.
Branch Hickey Of the Cards
wanted him, however, and bought
him from the International league
club before that season ended. In
1920 Janvrin played such n brill
liant game whenever he was sent
in that the Brooklyn Dodgers de-
cided they needed him--he had
even played first for Rickey-so
Manager Robinson traded Jeff
Pfeffer for Janvrin and Ferdie
Schuff.
The greatest job Of subbing jan
vrin did, If memory serves me COR
rectly, was when, he was called
into the breach by the Red Sox
during the pennant race of 1916,
As the race tightened down to the
closing weeks Jack Barry, brilliant
second sacker, was injured. jan
vrin was forced to play his post.
The eyes of the American league
were on Janvrin when he took the
field. His playing was all that
could have been asked Of even the
great Barry.

great medical profession in the
treatment Of certain diseases, but
also erected barriers against all
disease"

the greatest benefactors Of the
human race in all history by Chief
Justice Taft.

Native of st. JOhnsbury
and Had Lived in Dan

Funeral services were conducted
at the Soldiers Home, Chelsea,
Mass, Monday, for SilaS Hubbard
Stone, an old resident Of St. Johns
bury and Danville, a Civil War
Veteran and noted for his even
temperament and lovable diSposit-
ion. He was in his 85th. year re-
tanning full consciousness and all
faculties until a few hours before
his death, at II p. m. October 26,
1922. He had enjoyed unusually
good health until taken i'll with a
cold about a week ago which de-
veloped into bronchial pneumonia.
The end came quietly and without
any evidence of suffering.
The Chaplain of the Massachu-
setts Soldiers Home officiated at
the services and spoke in feeling
manner, reading the war record of
Mr.. Stone; praising his sterling
characteristics; referring to etern-
ity in a way that took much of the
sorrow away from the mourners
and concluded with the reading of
a beautiful and appropriate poem
entitled "Good Night" The hymns
"Jesus, Lover OF Ny Soul" and
"Abide With Me" were sung during
the services. Taps were sounded

RUTLAND. Nov. with 100
merchants each one vitally interest
ed in the problems confronting the
mercantile heads of today the sec
ond annual meeting of the Yer
mont State Merchants Association
opened Tuesday evening in Grand
Army hall with an instructive adj
dress by Thomas NJ. B. Hicks, Jr.,
of Boston, secretary of the Ma
tional Association. of Retail Secre-
taries, on "Heavy, heavy, what
hangs over?"
Mr.. Hicks, head of the research
and planning department of FL
lene's store in Boston stated that
the average merchant attempts to
carry on his business like a guess
ing game and the result is what
might be anticipated. Their main
problems, he said, are those of eX-
pense, mark-up and volume and he
took up the solution of some of
these in a clear al.c concise fShion.
Mr.. Hicks said in part:
"The difficulties of retail stores
generally resolve themselves into
three main probiems,-those of
expense, mark-up, and volume
and the most serious problem is
that of volume. 1t is my purpose
to discuss these three questions
with you, in an effort to point out
how some of these problems may
be solved.
"Mark-up,-the margin between
the cost of merchandise and its
selling COSTS a most important
element. 1t must be great enough
to allow the merchant TO pay the
expense of operating his store and
leave him a profit. 1t is not easy
to control, because it is affected by
so many things
"The selling price of merchand-
ise is set by competition, and you
can't control your competition.
The price you pay for merchandise
Is largely affected by your buying
ability. which of course is within
your control to the extent that you
can become a more Skillful buyer,
but not within your control where
the amount you can buy is con
cerned.
"There are two adjustments in
the markup,-wise judgment in Sc
lecting stock large enough to meet

Main street and passing through
the playground of the Summer

sure known as the girls common"
when a man arose from behind the
fence and inquired where she was
going. Mrs. Davidson was some
what startled but did not reply
and continued on her way, where
upon the stranger jumped over the
fence and grasped her in both
arms from behind. He seized her
left wrist on which she wore her
watch. Mrs. Davidson attempted
to get away from her assailant and
received a severe blow on the
back of the head which rendered
her unconscious.
About 11.45 p. M, Dr. Cramton
who happened to be passing that
way heard means and faint cries
fo" help. A search in that direc-

that she obtained of him before
being struck down, as tall and
wearing a "sheepskin" coat and a
dark cap pulled low over the eyes

not having her purse with her at
the time, but the unknown ruffian
