like experience. The bulbs in the
electrically heated frame are now eight
inches above the ground, while those
in the unheated frame have hardly
sprouted.
These electric hotbeds are extremely
economical in construction, allow all
the advantages of greenhouse with
out the high cost of maintenance. The
current is applied usually at night,
from p. m. to 8 a. m.
The Puget Sound Power & Light
Company is cooperating with the Ex-
detrimental Station at Puyallup in
finding new uses for electricity to as
sist agriculture, horticulture, dairying
and poultry raising.
An interesting booklet entitled
Electric Heat for Starting and Grow
ing Plants has been published by the
Agricultural Engineering Department
of the Puget Sound Power g. Light
Company. 1t is intended for free dis
tribution. 1t describes the material
used and plan of construction for cleo
trio hotbeds, together with the method
of operation. Copies can be secured
from Mr.. j. G. Scott, Agricultural En-
gineer of this Company, or from the
Western Washington Experimental
Station at Puyallup.

WHAT ARE OUR COMMISSIONERS
GOING TO no?

We have heard lot about the
model jail cell purchased some months
ago by the county commissioners for
Vashon Island About two years ago
the board made an appropriation for
the erection Of Jail but the year
elapsed, nothing was done, there was
more or less arguing locally and In the
county office and the appropriated
funds We're lost for that purpose
1t was just luck that Deputy Sheriff
Shattuck could secure help from the
mainland when he made the arrest of
the Fort Lewis bandit. He did not re-
quire their help in making the arrest,
but he needed 1t during the night
while the prisoner had to be guarded,
There was no place to lock the man
up. He would have stopped at no OPP
portunity for escape. Had Shattuck
been called out on another case during
the night he would have had TO
deputize some Island resident to guard
his prisoner.
Fortunately we don't need a Jail
often, but in case like Monday
nights it's like man falling over
board and life preserver; when we
need one we need it mighty badly.
Jails haven't gone out of style, and
having one the Island would not be
any confession of lawlessness. When
an outlaw is apprehended life doesn't
mean an awful lot, and if he has to
kill someone in escaping he isn't go
ing to stop to do much arguing, Steel
bars usually stop any arguments that
might arise over a bandits unwilling
ness to be arrested, The question is
settled for the time being, Let's have
the Jail before something tragic hap
pens.

IRISH EXPECT
 BIG CROWDS AT
 FOOTBALL GAMES
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

NClhtNu AICSo Stuh OOIICSPOAuCHtJ
 The Notre Dame football team is looking forward to one of most successful seasons in 1882, both financially and artistically.
 J. Arthur Haley, business man. ager of athletics at Notre Dame expects the 1892 team to play to more than 450,000 persons. Heartily Anderson, head football coach, ex- poets the 1892 eleven to be very touch indeed to beat.
 At least five games on the Notre Dame schedule will be sell-outs. These include the Southern Cali fornia, Army, Navy, Northwestern and Pittsburgh games.
 The attendance expected for each game follows:
 Haskell at South Bend. ..15,000 Drake at South Bend. ..15,O0O Carnegie Tech at South Bend 10000 Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh. 65, ,000 Kansas at Lawrence. 5000 N'rt'western at South Bend 53,OO0 Navy at Cleveland. 900 Army at New York. SO,OOO So. Calf. at Los Angeles. .1O5, 900 46s.oOo
 Unless bad weather or other un- foreseen circumstances interfere, the above estimates are likely to be fulfilled. There is little doubt but that the Northwestern, Army and Southern California games will be sell-outs. The first appear ance of the oNtre Dame team at Cleveland and Lawrence is likely to result in capacity crowds for the Navy and Kansas games, respect lively. Pittsburgh always has turned out huge crowds to see Notre Dame in action.
 Despite the loss of Marchy Schwartz. all-America back, and Capt Tom Yarr, center, the Notre Dame team probably will be stronger this year because of stronger reserves and the improve ment of a number of players who were just short of stardom last year.

according to some baseball auth critics, the St Louis German boy has developed into one of the smothest first basemen since the incompaYable Hal Chase.
 Charley was raised in St Louis. He washed bottles in the brewery where his father worked, read gas meters and, on afternoons, hung around Sportsman's Park to shag flies and sell peanuts.
 Connie Mack saw him one day cavorting around the infield, pick ing up what chances came his way. Mack, desperately clutching at anything that looked like a ball player, asked Grimm if he's like a try at big league baseball. Sure he would
 Mack sent him to Durham, S.. C., in 1917. He went up with the Cards and, in 1918, found himselif playing with Little Rock, Ark. He finished the year playing with Pittsburgh.
 Charley covered first base for the Pirates for about six years and was traded to the Cubs ip. 1925 in a deal that involved six players.

 His absence from the lineup gave Manager Mike McNally some sleepless nights. The team struck a slump and missed Grants time- ly bat.
 But the rookie soon returned to the lineup, the Barons regained their stride. and McNally steered his third pennant winner within five years home.
 McNally, former Yankee, led Binghampton to title in 1929 and captured the crown as skipper at Wilkesbarre this year and in 1890. Teams he managed finished sec- ond in 1928 and 1881. In 1928 he lost by one game and in 1891 by three.

 His start in professional base ball came when, as pitcher for a rolling mill team in Middletown, he set down the St Louis Browns in an exhibition game in 1921. Though Charley was tied down with family, he accepted an offer from the Browns and was farmed out to Terre Haute.
 It was while with this minor league team in 1922 that Root got his biggest thrill. He pitched 8 no-hit, no man. reach first game against Evansille, his team win- ming by a score of 10.
 The big right-hander was shunt- ed around between the midwest and Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast league until 1926, when the Cubs called him back to stay. His best year with Chi was in 1927, when he won 26 and lost 15.
 His first world series chance came in 1929, after he had a suc- cessful season, winning 19 and los- ing six. This year he has lowered around the .500 mark.
