Private Ownership of
Power Holds Favor

LONDON. = The discussions here
before the World Power Conference
seemed to indicate a preference for
private enterprise as opposed to gov
rnment ownership or control.
Guy M. Trip, chairman of the
board of the Westinghouse Electric &
Manufacturing Company, considered
that under the existing system of pub
lie regulation, the American people
were better protected by private In
terests against waste, extravaganza
and dishonest methods than they
would be by public ownership.
Among others who supported pri-
vate ownership were George Otis
Smith, director Of the United States
Geological Survey, and John w. Lieb
the New York Edison Company.

growing season permits their be-
ing set out, thus assuring early
blossoms or vegetables in advance
Of the regular season. A hotbed
also may be used to prolong the
season Of certain table vegetables.
A concrete hotbed is quite simply
and easily built. 1t consists OF
four light walls over which win
dows are fitted. The walls should
be made about six inches thick and
should be started at a depth well
below the frost line. Ordinary
light frame forms are used above
grade as well as below If the
ground Is not firm enough when ex-
cavated to serve as a form. The
north wall should extend 20 inches
above grade and the south wall 9
inches, giving the east and west
walls slope Of 1 foot In their
length of feet inches. A re-
cess 8 inches wide and 2 inches
deep is made on the inside edge of
the north and two end walls while
the south wall Is left fiat. This re-
cess is for the frames for the cover
to fit into. y Small cleats nailed
onto the under side Of the sash
prevent their slipping out Of place.
Standard hotbed sash are made
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1924-07-18

walls Of the hotbed are portland
cement, sand, crushed stone or peb-
bles and only enough water to
make a workable, quaky mass,
thoroughly mixed in proportion OF
1924, that is, 1 part cement to 2
parts sand and 4 parts crushed
stone. The sand should be free
from loan, sticks, or other organic
materials, the stone or pebbles not
more than one-half inch in diam
eter and the water of a quality
suitable for drinking.
AS It Is put in the forms, the
concrete should be spaded frequent
ly 80 as to completely fill the
forms, after which the top should
then be leveled off with straight
edged board. The forms should
not be removed for at least four
days, after which the bed is ready
for use and can be filed with soil
suitable for planting.
For hotbed 12 feet long, the fol.
lowing materials are required: II
sacks of cement, TX cubic yards
sand, 21a cubic yards pebbles. For
each additional foot Of length 1 sack
of cement, 2s cubic feet Of sand, I
cubic feet Of pebbles.

GLOUCESTER, England. Elec-
tricity has assisted bees in producing
an increased output Of honey, accord
ing to an announcement of the Glou-
cestershire chamber of agriculture. A
number of beehives were erected in
an apiary both lighted and heated by
electricity during the winter months,
with the result that strong broods of
bees started to collect honey much
earlier than usual and so obtained
supplies from the early blossoms Of
fruit trees. The output of each hive
has been greatly increased.
MOSCOW-The Soviet Russian au-
thorities are dealing drastically with
civilians and former officers in the
Red and Imperial armies convicted as
spies. During the last three months
several scores of persons have been
executed for espionage, and IL death
sentences were pronounced recently.
OF those newly condemned are four
charged with selling secret documents
and information relating to the Red
of the Polish Mission at Leningrad
who escaped death only by fleeing
( from Russia At Minsk, the capital of
| White Russia, seven persons convict
ed on charges Of espionage and con
veying secret information to the Pol
ish army, have been condemned tc
death by the supreme court, 20 others
receiving prison terms.

BASKETBALL. PROSPERS
At HIGH SCHOOL
Both Boys and Girls Are Getting
Underway NTH Much
Excellent Material

Before the closing of the high
school last week basketball practice
had commenced in earnest, both the
boys and girls teams having held reg
ular practice in Heselton Hall. The
girls and boys of the school are handi-
capped because of the expenses and
of practice weekly The girls prac-
the boys Tuesdays and Thursdays.
About twenty girls and the same
number of boys are reporting for prac-
tice. The quality of material is
good enough to warrant good teams.
Three letter girls are left from last
year: Louise Stincbfield, captain
and catcher; A. Chabot, forward; H.
Groder, guard. The girls making
strongest bids for positions are: Ag-
nes Cockburn, Helen Ames, Helen NJ.
lies, Marguerite Savage and Abbie
Stinchfield, guards, Blanch Cowette
That's Gates, P. Whitney, f. Laneas-
ter, center b. Cowette, Helen Nc
Quade, r. Tobey, forwards. The
girls schedule is the best in years.
Beside the unusual teams played
Gardiner appears on the schedule.
Miss Agnes Cockburn is manager.
The first call for basketball candi-
dates was answered last week by a
squad of about twenty boys. Prac-
tce was held in Heseton Hall and
the outlook for a snappy and fast
team of men is bright The veterans
Decker, Cole and Dysart are to be
seen in action again this year, while
for new men Coach Dostie' has much
promising material in Appleby, Car
penter MoAllister, White and C.
Dionne These boys have had little
experience on the basketball court,
but are fast rounding into shape,
and with three veterans in the lineup,
Skowhegan high school will soon put
team on the floor that will do JUS
tice to the school
Due to the inability to secure
suitable hall, Skowhegan high is
greatly handicapped, but it is hoped
that this will soon be overcome by
the much talked of community house.

GOOD ROAD TO THE
LAKEWOOD PARK
Citizens Organize for
Better Highway
Gathering OF Men from Bingham, Mad
isOn, S0lon and Skowhegan
ON Saturday Last

There was good sized gathering of
Somerset County citizens at the NUM-
cipal court room Saturday afternoon
TO consider the road proposition be-
tween Skowhegan and Solon, leading
by Lakewood Those present were
largely from Bingham, Solon, Madi-
son, Skowhegan and residents of the
section through which the road pass
es. r. r. Patten acted as temporary
chairman and was later elected gen.
eral chairman. John l.. Fish was
elected secretary and treasurer. Clyde
FL. Smith spoke upon the best way to
interest the State Highway Commits
sion. saying there were two ways of
obtaining favorable action for build
ing highway. one by interesting the
Commission by petitions and letters
and the other by obtaining an appro-
pration from the State Legislature.
The proposition is to get a good road
from here to Lakewood and thence
through to Solon to meet the state
road from Bingham f. l.. Hight of
Madison, representative-ele to the
State Legislature, pledged his support
and an executive committee to take
the matter in hand and confer with
the State Highway Commission was
made up of Forrest H. Colby of Bing
ham, Mark p Pollard of Solon, Clyde
II. Smith of Skowhegan. f. D. Clark
and George Clough of Madison. Ac-
cording to Clyde H. Smith. a third
class road is the only road available
for this section since the state high
way has already been built through
Norridgewock to Madison and thence
up river, while a state aid road has
been designated from Madison to
East Madison by the way of the White
Schoolhousc Mr. Smith believed
that it would be possible to have a
fund of $4,000 or $4,000 available f.
next year. f. l.. Ford, an experience
ed road builder of this place, thought
the only road TO build between Skow-
hogan and Lakewood was a hard sur
face road, and Earl r. Taylor of
Bingham. who has built much of the
Canadian highway during the past
season, agreed with Mr.. Ford. H. l..

result of the meeting was most en-
couraging and while the indications
are that macadam highway cannot
be built, the opinion seemed to be
that "A good third class road could be
built with foundation so planned that
eventually hard surface might be
applied.

ent beside those already mentioned
were Tracy Forsythe, E. e. Hurd, Or

in any way possible.
