THE COST OF CLEARING
LAND CAN BE REDUCED

Washington State College, Pullman.
The cost of clearing an acre of land
may be reduced from $3.50 to $l20
through the use of the stump burning
device recently invented at the State
College, according to r. N. Miller ex-
tension economist.
In introducing the novel stump
burner to farmers of the state, the
college experts have. conducted several
demonstrations. In Whatcom county
1850 people attended the demonstra-
ton where one siX-foot stump was
completely removed at a cost of Is
cents. At this exhibition an eight
foot stump was in the process of burn
ing and another stump was fired, in
order that farmers could see all the
stages of stump removal.
Similar demonstrations conducted in
Pierce and Clark counties served to
acquaint lural dwellers with the adj
vantages of the device. Information
regarding the demonstrations or the
machine will be supplied to any one.

And it is that spirit that will win
victories for any community. In every
community there are men who have
vision and capability and the will to
do great things for the neighborhood
or the town in which they live. The
thing for the people in any such COM
nunity to do is to run interference
for these men, to clear the field and
give them a fair chance. Team work
counts in business as in football, in
cities and in country neighborhoods
as in college.

u only semi official body, having been
appointed by the board of supervisors
to investigate public utilities matters in
the county and recommend action to
the board, as is being done in this case.
In a letter to the board. which will
be brought up at Saturdays meeting,
the commission asks that Common
wealth's Attorney William G. Cloth be
designated by the board to conduct the
case before the State commission and
that the latter body be asked to hold
the hearing in Arlington County rather
than in Richmond.
Based upon the figures of the COM
pany as of the first of this year, the
commission claims that the reduction
should be minimum of IS cents per
1000 cubic feet, but that these figures
will not be the ones to be considered
when the company has mixed natural
gas with its present product. The msins
for the natural gas are now nearing
Washington, the commission claims,
and after the gas becomes available the
manufacturing cost will be considerably
lowered.
While it was not stated by the body
just how much of reduction would
be asked it was indicated that the re-
quest would be 40 to so cents per 1000
cubic feet.
The commission will, if the SUPER
visors act favorably upon its request,
make all of their figures and techni-
cal knowledge available to the common
wealths attorney. 1t will be necessary
to ask the washington Gas Light Co.
to produce figures to show Just how
much their manufacturing cost will be
reduced by the addition of the natural
gas.

Mai. Robertson said surveys conduct
Cd by the commission indicated short
age of game and food supply for game
in the counties listed. The public meet
ings are being held, however, before ac-
ton is taken.
The commission feels the chairman
said, that on the basis of present infor-
nation, hunting in the counties mem
toned should end December s, except
the hunting of waterfowl, turkeys and
grouse in the counties of Shenandoah
Rockingham, Augusta and Allegheny
It was not proposed to change the
Statewide law permitting land owners
to hunt rabbits and squirrels on their

Existence Of Crisis.
Announcing the meeting, Mai. Rob-
Ortson said, I'm view of the crisis that
undoubtedly exists in the Valley and
Northern Virginia. the fact that no
funds are available for the purchase of
Mexican birds next year, and that the
production at the State Game Farm
will not exceed 5000 birds to be dis
tributed to the 100 counties, the chair
man states that the farmers and hunt
ers of this drought area must make a
decision between saving brood stock this
Winter and an extermina ton that will
be felt for years to come"

New York, April ? P-With the Boston Braves, perennial holders of the Grapefruit league champion ship, showing the way, representa- tives of the National league have taken comfortable lead over their rivals from the American in inter- league encounters this spring.
 An even fifty games involving teams from each major league have been played so far and twenty-seven of them have gone to National league clubs. The American has won twenty-five and, one was tied.
 The Braves have accounted for ten of the National leagues victor ies, five over the New York Yan- kees and five over the worlds cham- pton Philadelphia Athletics. Boston and Cincinnati are the only other clubs with better than an even break against teams from the rival circuit.
 Cleveland and Detroit are the only American league clubs with better than .50O percentage in inter-leaeue warfare. The Indians beat the New York Giants in their only start against a major league club while Detroit has won five and lost four.

Siege of Indictment Weather Pre-. vents Kaye Don From Try At
 ShattcrinG Record

Daytona Beach, Fla, April , (UP)-A new siege of indictment weather has made it probable that Kaye Don's attempt to break the automobile speed record set by his countryman, Sir Henry Segrave, will be postponed indefinitely.
 Late yesterday the wind shifted to the south, making the smooth beach a veritable washboard, and later forecasts gave little hope the adverse winds would cease. Don's unsuccessful attempt a few hours earlier had done little to increase optimism.
 An indefinite extension of the A. A. A. sanction for the trials has been asked, but Don and some of his officials expected to leave here today to await favorable weather. The series of msfortunes which has followed the trials continued last night when the huge wooden grandstand at the record mile" Of the race course was moro than half destroyed by fire. Firemen came seven miles front the town near here but were able to save only the officials stand and the press box which contained the electrical tim, ing apparatus.
 No cause was given for the fire

 IN BOWLING CONGRESS
Dc NcsO Pair Packs the Strongest NaHop Into the Final Game
 On Cleveland Alleys

Cleveland, O.. April (UP)-Be. cause they could pack their strong est wallop into the final game, the De Feso brothers of Buffalo are out in front in the team competition of the American bowling congress. Late last night the Bison City five wound up a fine pin topping ex- hibition with a mighty 1056 game to ramble into first place with a grand total of 2976.
 With a chance for a place among the leaders after banging out counts Of 952 and 96S, the De Eesos didn't fold up in the last tilt like so many other outfits who have enjoyed the same opportunity. Led by Frank Caruana, the kcglcrs from Buffalo stepped right out and topple ] enough timber to give them a lead ot l1 pins over the former first place holders. the Schwartz Ball rooms of Hartford, Wis, and the Spartans of New York, who are tied at 2959.
 Ranking next in importance to the rolling of the De Nesos was the 29o game chalked up by Sidney Baker of Peru, Ind, in the singles during the afternoon. Baker turn ed in average scores of ITS and 19a in his first two games, thereby fail ing to place.

TANKS NEED EDUCATION
Members of New York Team Be- licNc Uni, crsity Boys Have Been Able to Out think Them.

Austin. Texas. April P-New Iork's Yankees have just about de- cided that what they need to win more ball games is d college educa- tion. They played just major league baseball against the University of Texas team yesterday and found on at least two occasions that the Longhorns could out-think them.
 In the fourth inning Lou Gehrig made a break for second when the Texas first baseman left his bag after Lou's single, and found that the Texas catcher, Lewis, had slipped up to take the throw from shortstop to tag him out. In the eighth inning Mark koenig was the victim of a similar play on a quick relay from shortstop. These tactics proved so effective that the Yankees had to stage a ninth inning rally to Gain a 4-2 victory.

As the first round play continued there were discussions as to the eventual fate of the various favor tics, but it was admitted that Sparkle has stolen the individual show and the consensus was that it's going to take q real basketball team to put his club out of the championship running.
 Sparkle and his team have class and that's why such clubs as Chi nook, Mont; Denton, Ark; Athens Tex; Lakeland, Fla, and other fav- orites today were wondering what plans to use to stop Wade, who led his team to 49 to 21 victory yes terday.
