TODAY Alumni
GAME POSTPONED
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Waterville. May 6--The game be-
tween the Waterville high school and
the Alumni was postponed yesterday
for the second time because there
was no available field. This made
the fourth time this season that the
high school was forced to postpone
game.
Today at o'clock the team will
stack bats with the Hallowell nine
on the Colby diamond. in a game
earlier in the season the local team
was victorious but a harder game is
anticipated for today. McMullen
will start in the box for the Elm City
men and Dulac will be ready to re-
lieve him if necessary. Coach Hen
bricks will keep Captain Trainor Tor
the Cony game Saturday. The short
stop position is still q puzzle to the
coach and last night he was not
certain just who he would start. 1t
is possible that Richardson, one of
the two short stops will get chance
, in the field because of his ability to
sock the apple.
The game carded for the tennis
team today was postponed because
the courts in Skowhegan were not in
good condition. 1t is possible that
on May IA. The team is practicing
under Captain Talberth daily and
look as if they were able TO meet all
corners and send them back with
defeat.
Twenty-four track suits were is
sued yesterday afternoon to the most
promising candidates out for the
team. Saturday morning the inter-
class meet will be held on the high
school athletic field. 1t looks s II
the Sophomores will have an easy
time in winning the meet but the
Juniors and Seniors can't see things
that way. In the distances the SEN
iors looks the best but they have no
men in the dashes or the jumps.

WHO PROFITS FROM
FIRE PREVENTION?

In answering the above question,
Thomas r. Baird Chief Engineer Of
the Fresno, California. fire depart
ment says that as 65 per cent of fire
alarms originate in homes, it is ap-
parent that fire prevention should
be taught in the homes as they are
responsible for not only a majority
OF the alarms but also home fires are
responsible for a majority of the
lives lost each year.
Fresno adopted an organized citi-
zens' fire prevention committee which
has been n of the most valuable
assets the city has had in preventing
fires. Every building in Fresno has
been visited by members of the I'M
formed fire department, fire preven-
ton bureau and by the boy scouts.
Fire hazards were pointed out and
the cooperation of property owners
and tenants was asked.
Cooperation by the citizens was
necessary to wipe out the black re-
cord which Fresno had earned. For
the five year period prior to the re-
organization Of the Fresno fire de-
partment and its campaign for fire
prevention, the annual average fire
loss in Fresno was $S5O,2S9. Dur
ing 1923, the first year following the
reorganization, the loss was s187,435.
The preceding five year average of
fire alarms was 45S. In 1923, it was
only 279. The previous five year per
capita fire loss was s16.13. In 1923,
1t was $2.21.
Since the reorganization of Fresno
on a fire prevention basis, three re-
auctions have been made in insur-
- n-~ - t0 H. H.
city yearly savings of approximately
$350,00O. Add this to the reduction
in fire losses and it is easy to de-
termine who profits by fire preven-
ton, says Mr.. Baird.
The good work will continue in
Fresno and other cities should fol-
low suit.

and 100000 in 1922. The average
yield is 102 bushels compared with
los bushels in 1923 and the ten Year
average of 1875 bushels.
The shipment of potatoes to Oct
ober 2S, from Wyoming points was
263 carloads compared with 334 cars
to the same date last season. The
total movement from the 1928 crop
was 6S4 cars.
SUGAR BETS: The sugar beet
promises to be very good with good
yields from the largest acreage ever
grown in the state, which will give
the largest total production in Wyo-
ming's history. The beets have a
higher content and the harvest is
almost completed. Weather condi-
lions have been ideal for beet har-
vest.
GENERAL: Weather conditions
have been very favoroble for har-
vesting potatoes and other rops. with
almost no damage from unfavorable
climatic conditions. Conditions have
been ideal for farm work.
Fall own grains have done well
and the moisture supply which was
deficient early in the fall seems m
pie to start the wheat and rye.

WYOMING CROP REPORT
FOR NOVEMBER 1, 1924

The largest sugar beet crop In the
history OF the state. A short corn
crop, and the total potato production
below last year are the outstanding
points OF Wyoming Crop Report is
sued by the United States Division
of Crop and Livestock Estimates.
CORN: Wyoming Corn production
is estimated 2.124,000 bushels based
on an average yield ~ bushels from
lit, 600 acres planted. Last years
rop was placed at 4,O50,OOO bushels
and the five year average is 2,413,0OO
bushels, In 1928 the yield was 81
bushels and the ten year average
is 23 bushels.
The late season and unfavorable
growing conditions seriously cut
down orn yields, but a large crop
of feed has been produced. About
40 per cen Of the crop will be har-
vested for grain, 3 per cen for silage
and 81 per cent for forage. The
largest yields are reported from the
Big Horn Basin where only about 10
per cent of the crop is grown. The
five most important corn counties are
Laramie, Goshen, Platte, Campbell,
and Crook.
POTATOES: The potato crop i'm
proved during September and Octo-
Der SO that yields are a little larger
than indicated earlier. The crop is
placed at 100000 bushels compar-

The Homeless Cat

The residents of the neighborhood

an old alley cat. She sat on the fence
back Of our house one night. l stood
at the window watching her. The
creature, 1t was well to be seen, was
content with her elevated perch. She
sat gazing at the moon, her gray fur,
which was the only covering the
bones of her body had, glistening in
the silver rays of the moon. Her
green eyes were turned toward me.
The brightness Of them surprised me.
for they seemed like glowing balls of
fire.
This old cats daytime hobby is ly-

crept to the barrel in which the tin
cans are kept. her lean body moving

tail Of gray and white was stretched
out behind her curled at the end

paw was slowly and cautiously thrust
forward. Then she slipped around
the barrel.
waited to see why she had been
acting so queerly.. Finally l observed
a gray head long and peaked, and
touched here and there with black,
a pair of eyes with a happy glow in
them. and then the entire body glided
forward. She was breathing more
heavily than before and 1 could count
the ribs in her sides. At every step
her tail swung gracefully and showed
extreme happiness. In her mouth
elutched tightly between her teeth
was a poor gray mouse. She peace

Thanksgiving

y Thanksgiving
About three hundred years ago.
Yes three hundred years and four,
The Pilgrims came from afar and
landed on a foreign shore.
And we're landed at Plymouth by the
kindly breeze.
And their thanks they gave as they
knelt in the sand,
That they we're safe in another land.
So we have kept the day these many
years,
Fol a day to be in good cheer.
I don't know how they kept 1t indeed,
But we keep thanksgiving with a
great big feed.
With a turkey OF chicken, a goose or a
duck,
And cranberry sauce II we are in
luck.
Nuts and candy and lots Of good
things,
To all of us children enjoyment
brings.
And this is the way we keep thanks
giving day
By everyone being thankful as you
know,
For the memory of the Pilgrims of
long ago.
