exactly what everybody had been pre-
dieting they would get-two bits for
their wheat But we are told that IN

Course here is one thing where the
Farm Board is right Il haven't heard
that in so long that 1t scared me

Farmers NOT to plant so much wheat,
they said there was going to be big

Board in that. You know the Farmers
don't use their own heads whole lot
Some Of EN- don't even use anybodys.
Now 1t was last year that the Farm
Board bought up all this wheat, and
had nothing to do with 1t. From the
day they started buying the first
bushel 1t started going down. and no
matter how fast they bought. 1t went
down faster. Well there you was. You
hadent put in this years wheat yet.
Now Russia had an awful big mess of

especially us. You knew that they
would perhaps under the five year plan
put in more wheat than ever before,
because they amt supposed to know
how to raise anything else.
Now the Argentine had bumper
crop. They had their last years crop
still to sell. Then you got to take Into
consideration that every country both

To Hold Weed Killing
Demonstration Aug. "a

The use Of sodium chlorate for weed
control work has proven to be one of
the most efficient methods for the
control OF Canada Thistle Quack
Grass, and other pernicious perennial
weeds. The efficiency of this method
apparently varies greatly with the
soil moisture, dir humidity size and
age OF plants, and possibly other fac
tors. Trials with this material have
been made In King County for two
or more years on small scale with
varying results In some Of the trials
05 percent to 90 percent kill has been
obtained
The use Of sodium chlorate and mix
lures containing this material is COM
parativeiy new In weed control work
and there are apparently some details
regarding Its use which are not yet
fully understood. Their use, however,
has become more general and the

worth consideration by those who own
lands infested with perniclous peren-
mails.
The County Agricultural Agent has
received very large number Of re-
quests for detailed information on the
use of the CELEBRATES for weed control
and he Is at present making definite
plans for the holding of demonstra-
tons showing methods Of preparing
and applying the material during the
week of Angus "a. A definite schedule
for demonstrations will be made and
individuals or communities interested
should get in touch with A. E. Lovett,
county agricultural agent, room 3O2,
County City Building, Seattle, at once
If demonstration is desired. During
the week visits will be made to plots
where applications of sodium chlorate
and other chlorate mixtures were APP
piled during the season of 1890

Macs Sweet Shop
Changes Management

On Tuesday, Mr., and Mrs A. H.
johnson took possession and became
the owners Of the Sweet Shop at
vashon opened and operated for the
past two months by Mrs Mae Naugle
md Mrs. Cleo Gordon. Poor health
forced Mrs. Naugle to give up the
work, and Mrs. Gordon did not feel
that she could carry on the work
alone. Both were sorry to rclinquish
the business, rs the popularity Of their
shop had proved that they were giving
the Island people satisfactory service.
The future plans OF Mrs. Nauglc and
Mrs. Gordon are indefinite, but there
is q possibility that both will leave the
Island for the winter, at least.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson have O wide
circle Of acquaintances ON the Island
who are glad to learn that they are
going into business here. They have
successfully operated their poultry
ranch in Paradise Valley for several
years, and both have been helpful in
various Island activities. 1t Is par.
ticularly gratifying that the new own
crs Of the shop are Island people, al
ready established here as worth while
citizens.
The Sweet Shop Is an up-to-datc
eating place, md MIR. and Mrs. John
son will continue to operate 1t In the
same acceptable manner in which the
former owners have.
Mrs. Naugle and Mrs. Gordon have
appreciated the patronage and inter-
est of the friends they have made in
the business, and would not have
voluntarily given up a business that
has been so popular from the very be-
ginning. Their only consolation is
that they are turning 1t over to others
whom they feel to be so eminently
capable OF carrying on what they
started.

to ask one question. What In the
World made any Farmer think that
things could possibly be any better
than they was when he planted the
wheat? Had he been listening to
Chamber OF Commerce speeches2 How
did anyone think that just over night
we was going like we used too? So why
would man, knowing the amount Of
wheat that was going to be on the mar.
ket the next year. knowing that nobody
was going to have anything to buy 1t
with II they did want 1t, why would he
go and gamble everything he had In
more wheat?
We used to think that wheat
Farmer was smarter than a Cotton
Farmer, and the Wheat one thinks so
yet We'll maby not now. But, by
golly. 1t looks like there amt no way
to get any people to cut down on any,
thing as long as they think the other
fellow ought to do the cutting down
first. There is some excuse for the Cot
ton Planter. especially the renter one.
for he has to put in what he is told
too or else, and he hasent -1ough ma
chinery and stock to put in anything
else. But with the wheat Farmer its
most generally man that is bis own
boss. He generally owns the land, or
has 1t rented to do with what he likes

 Having read Stewart Edward Whites various articles on the AL aSkan brown bear and his plan to perpetuate the speciae, which may sound all right to persons who are not acquainted with con- ditionS under which they are per- petuated, or the future prospects of Chichagof Island, l consider said articles hysterical ballyhoo. Attached is the paragraph of the Alaska Game Laws relative to the conditions under which these bear may be killed by residents of Alaska.
 Thereis not the slaughter going on that MT. White is leading peo- pie to believe. There was, for a time, some imported cannery help who wree doing lot of incri- minate killing, but that has been eliminated by the Game Commis- sion, and all non-residents em- ployed at canneries are now for bidden to have firearms in their possession.
 The people of Alaska are pro- bably the best game conservation iSts in North America and do not stand for unnecessary slaughter of any animals or birds, and they feel very resentful toward Mir. White for his interference in their affairs and his advocating Chi chagoff Island as a reserve: To go after brown bear in Southeastern Alaska, a resident, if none of his friends have a sea- worthy boat, must hire a boat, which will cost around $25.00 per day at least, buy food and ammu- milton, leave his work for several days, and then go out and do some hard work climbing hills and mountains that are heavily timb- cred and very rough going at times, and be exposed to all kinds of weather. Do they go to all this trouble just to shoot bear for the sake of killing? They do not.
 They go after deer and goat, ducks, geese, grouse and ptarmigan, something good to eat, but not out of their way to kill bear.
 This spring two ladies were driv- ing their car on the road from Juneau to Mendanhall Glacier and had to turn back because a large brown bear occupied the road ahead. When they came into town again and reported it, did a mob go out with rifles to kill the intruder? Certainly not. The local paper just made mentor of it in that days issue.
 Aside from the few killed by licensed hunters from the States, the Game Warden informed me that he only knew of four brown bear killed by residents in his dis trict, Southeastern Alaska,) dur ing the past year, and three of these I knew of myself.
 Most of MT. Whites experiences with brown bear appear to have been around the salmon streams when Bruin was gorged with sal

defeated Holtville high school, 10
to 0, on the Holtville gridiron.
BY this showing it became assured
the junior college first string will
have at least six strong subs when
it goes into action against the Cal
exico Alumni here Friday night.
Coach Robert Finn was well
pleased with the showing made by
his second and third team men yes
terday afternoon. Their strength
was graphically shown when Holt
vile took the ball to the one-yard
line, plunged hopelessly for four
Gowns, then fumbled and lost the
ball. Ell Centre kicked out of dan
ger.
Line plunges netted the Jaycees
their chief gains. The Holtville
team was practically helpless in the
face of power drives through the

CHICAGO CUBS
60 MARKETING
FOR new MEN
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. Is. U.P) - With
Pat Malone and Hack Wilson as
trading material and plenty OF
cash to throw into the bargain, the
Chicago Cubs are expected to
make several important trades dur
ing the coming winter.
The Cubs want a pennant-win-
ming ball club next season and
Messrs. Wrigley Veeck and Horns
by are going to make every effort
n land at least two National
League stars within the next month
to bolster third-place club.
One of the players the Cubs want
Ks Ed Brandt, Boston Braves, south
paw who won 18 games and lost
IL the past season. The Cubs have
made many deals with the Braves
in past years and they are prepared
TO offer several players and bun
die OF cash for Brandt
If Brandt is unavailable the Cubs
would be willing to talk trade on
Pred Frankhouse, highlander who
is said also to be coveted by the
New York Giants.
Hack Wilson is likely to land up
with Brooklyn or Cincinnati. The
Cubs would like to use him in a
deal with the Robins for outfield-
er, Babe Herman or in a swap
with the Reds for pitcher and Red
Lucas. The Cubs attempted to
buy Lucas year ago but the price
was too high.
1t has been reported that Brook
lyn is willing to trade Dazzy Vance
fsr Wilson, but the Cubs do not
want Vance. who is nearing the
end of his career.
Another player that the Cubs will
dicker for is Outfielder Paul Wan
er OF Pittsburgh. If the Cubs can
make a deal for a catcher from
some other club they might be will

he needs at least one new outfield-
0, and possibly two, a star left
handed pitcher, a third baseman,
and another capable catcher.
Hornsby is expected to confer
with President Veeck within the
next month, and outline his plans.
Whatever players Hornsby thinks
are needed To make the Cubs Il
pennant contender, he is going TO
get full authority to go after.
