have to do Is get that herd over

barn.
I would have as much chance
getting a deer that way as shoot
ing one with bow and arrow. or
even with a rife.
Incidentally, I hope they don't
start hunting deer in Loudoun.

plants during the winter. If
possible keep It out Of doors

dry as to be hard work.
Put Soil on Compost
Don't overlook the value Of
mixing soil into the compost pile
as the leaves are dumped. Ferti-
lizer to speed the decay and make
% richer compost Is most desir-
able. II properly used the plant
foods win not be lost, just held
by the bacteria that carry on the
decay processes.
Check That Chickweed
Chickweed is growing like mad
in many gardens. It may be
killed with 2,4-D II not among
|perennials or other susceptible
plants. Potassium cyanate is
another killer but like the 2.4-D
cannot be used In the perennial
beds. Ammonium sulphate or
nitrate Of soda scattered on the
foliage when wet with dew win
often kill the chickweed at this
season.
Madonna lilies are available
from several local plant supply
houses In pots. They may be set
out now II they were overlooked
last August. the normal planting
time.
Examine the roses and shrubs
before planting to make certain
they are free from root-knot
(nematodes). There is no point
in planting infested stock that
will spoil the productiveness of
your rosebushes for years to
come. If there is any question
about the presence 6f root-knots
on purchased plants take them
back to the store or have them

Because the average garden

0 site for q new rose bed usually
poses several problems. In the
first place 1t ID not reasonable to
expect roses to thrive and pro-
duce fine large blooms when they
are In competition with tree
roots.
Deep-rooted trees are seldom
serious competitors. but shallow
rooted trees are likely to be dis

Moreover, roses should have sun
for at least 5 or 6 hours Q day.
Shade, unless high and mod
erately light, is not conducive to
show quality bloom.
Roses need lots Of water II

but cannot get out except
through evaporation.
Rose beds in such soils should
be provided with some form Of

Protection Is Important
Roses should be protected from
strong winds that suck the mois-

pany transported thousands of prospectors to and from the gold fields and millions of dollars in gold, but from 1908 until the cop per mines became exhausted in 1888, copper from Kennecott and Latouche provided the only sub stantial year-round traffic that moved from Alaska.
 Altogether during The Alaska Lines so years of service, the company has lost IS ships through marine casualties. Three of these occurred during World War II.
 Long identified with Alaska through their salmon cannery in terests the Skinner and Eddy Cor poration of Seattle purchased the Alaska Steamship Company fir q Kennecott Copper Corporation in 1924 and Gilbert W. Skinner be- came president.
 The most advanced type of con- tainer service, a seatrain opera ton, is now receiving intensive study by the company.
 In October 1853, Gilbert w. Skinner died and his son, D. E. Skinner, who had been vice presi- dent and general manager of the line since 1850, succeeded his father to the presidency.
 One of the early carriers in the coastwise passenger service, The Line was. the last Ameri- can line to withdraw from this business. Now Alaska Steamship Company completes it's 60th year of Alaskan operations and begins its 61st specializing in cargo transportation.

Alaska Line Completes 60th Year of Operation

March 3 marks the completion of 50 years of AlaskA Steamship Company service to Alaska. With the sailing from Seattle of the motorship Square Sinnet schedul- ed for March 4, The Alaska Line will have commenced it's 61st year.
 Organized in the rough and
 tumble nineties, Alaska Steamship Company served Alaska through the gold rush period. It carried cargo to Skagway before the White Pass and Yukon Route was constructed, to Seward before the Alaska Railroad came into being, and irto Valdez when the Rich ardson Highway was a trail.
 Seattle was but one of num- Der of Puget Sound ports serving Alaska in 1895. Most of Alaska traffic was carried by vessels headquartered in San Francisco. There had been a number of. gold discoveries in Alaska and the de- mand for shipping to the North land was brisk. Charles E. Pea body, the father of Capt. Alex M. Peabody, the present president of Puget Sound Navigation O., to- gether with Capt. George Rob erts, G. H. Lent and C. E. Taylor, citizens of the Puget Sound re- zion, figured that a Puget Sound Alaska steamship operation should pay off and announced plans for a service to Southeast ernI Alaska.
 On January 28, 1895 with ESQ., 900 capital Peabody and his asso- ciates organized the Alaska Steamship Company at Port Towns nd. They purchased the 136-foot 450-ton steamer Willapa and set bi-monthly schedule from Seattle with the initial sail irg date of March 3.
 Three years later, on January l, 1908, the Northwestern Steam ship Company and Alaska Steam ship Company joined forces as the Alaska Steamship Company of Nevada under the presidency of Charles E. Peabody. This extend ed the service of The Alaska Line to include all Alaska routes.

Richard Dirksen's talents may
not be limited to music, but
they unquestionably include
great capabilities in every field
of that endeavor. His conduct
ing, directing and coaching
made "Ruddingore" a worth
while evening.
How worthwhile is perhaps a
question. The operetta has un-
deniable merits, but is its proper
locale not either in big thea
ter like the Carter Barron. where
the thousands who appreciate it
can attend. or in a church or
lodge hall where even an indif-
ferent performance can be
counted on to raise money for
some worthy charity?
The boys and girls of the two
Cathedral schools have the time,
the resources, the enthusiasm
and obviously the talent for al
most anything they might want
to attempt. Should they not at
tempt something a bit beyond
their capabilities rather than
"Ruddigore," where the skies are
blue but the horizon not unlim-
tied?
The performance will be re-
peated tonight at $3.50.

seemed to be always capable to
turn them out, even when unable
to bring them off.
William Weber, as Richard,
is an actor of great breezi-
ness and unfailing attractive
ness. and he has a good
voice for the part. 1t has
the quality of old rubbed brass.
and reminds me of the sound
made by De Wolfe Hopper in his

tration of Millard Fillmore. Rob-
ert Ellinwood, as Robin Oak
apple. surprised nobody by the
suppleness of his voice and the
musicality of his singing, for
these qualities he has demon
strated for a good many years,
but he showed himself to be a
very stylish comic actor to boot.
The diffident Rose Maybud,
whose formidable aggressiveness
is matched only by her impeturb-
able adaptability, is certainly the
most promising part in the show
She was played and sung by
Yvonne Hawkins with charm and
with a clear, true and winning
voice.
The lesser parts were without
exception satisfactory. and the

handling of stage business and
the lighting deserve high COM
mendation, and the colorful
