Brooklyn National Owner Prepared

Ily II. C. Hamilton,
(United Preu SLatf Correspondent)
NEW YORK. April 28. Charles
H. Ebbets, owner of the Brooklyn
National league club, is going Into
the next National league meeting
prepared to howl and rave until the
magnates agree to some changes
which wilt allow a lator opening of
the baseball season.
Ebbots Is mad clear through this
tlmo. Ho is going to give no quarter
and he's collected the statistics to
give him a fighting foundation.
"It's too ridiculous to argue on
he declared In a recent talk on the
subject. "I'm unable to see why
a man who has a business to protect
will go along year after year, opening
his business In weather that's too raw
for a man to sea a baseball game.
"Yes, I've soon some big crowds
at opening days when It looked llko
It might snow, but I've seen tho
aa mo stands the next day with a
bnro corpornl'8 guard In thorn. Poo
plo who go to tho curly games got
chilled and half-frozen and thoy go
away vowing thoy won't return un
til it gets warm. And thoy do stay
away.
"Every fall wo hnvo splendid base
ball wenthor at the end of tho sea
son, but because we agree to play
154 games we have to miss all those
games, but we meet next winter,
sot tho opening for mid-winter and
go happily along our ways.
"Pooplo accuse me of wanting Co
lumbus day In the schedule Well,
I' do, but I'd want tho extonslon If
thoro was no Columbus Day. I want
that good wouthor. I'm going to
mako nn awful tight for the chnngos
next wlntor and If tho rest of tho
club ownors In this league don't
como ovor to my way of thinking,
I'll think thoy don't care n whoop
about tholr pntronago, tho health of
tholr ball playors or anything also."

Dispatches from the front stated that
violent fighting is going on, but
that good progress is being made.
Army Demand Heavy.
Germany la draining the empire of
men to throw against the onrushlng
wave of the Allied offensive. German
chiefs sec the necessity for checking

cause of growing discontent In Ger

CAREFUL SELECTION
OF CROPS NEEDED.
County AKKriculturalbit (Jives Valu
able Hints In Choosing; Moot Hull- ,
able Crops for Urban Gar
dens Planting Time.
Ity R. A. Blunchard,
In making final arrangements for
the planting of the back yard gar
den such that the greatest number
of vegetables can be produced in the
smallest amount of space, companion
cropping and Inter-cropping must be
practiced. Dy this Is meant the
Onnting of those crops which arc
i;ujck growers in wun inose wmca
wili last throughout the season ard
can be followed by a crop of later
maturity. This will call for a litt.o
advanced planting and the following
of one crop after another in tho
same place. It is well to keep iu
mind that tboBe plants of the famiiy
will usually be attacked by the same
Insect and diseases such as those of
the Cruciferae family (Brussels
sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.),
or tomatoes and agg plants. Tben
again, those plants can be divided
into those producing roots, those of
a leaf value, and those of a fruiting
value. Such early crops as radishes,
which take from 5 to 7 weeks to ma
ture, could be followed by plants of
longger season. Usually the crop is
not harvested all in one day and the
roots can be used when mature by
pulling in proper spaces so as to
allow room for the planting of let
tuce or cabbage. In this way the
two can occupy practically the same
amount of ground, or another ar
rangement could be made with on
ion sets, pulling at proper intervals,
the sets as they become mature, leav
ing room tor cauliflower, beets, Brus
sels sprouts, tomatoes. Radishes
spinach, lettuce, beets, peas, beans,
sweet corn, can be planted at inter
vals of one week to give a succession
lot green, fresh vegetables, as long
as possible.
In order to have the matter of ma
turiay in mind, the following table
is presented:
Crops maturing in 5 to 7 weeks
Radish.
Crops maturing in 6 to 9 weeks
Lettuce, turnips, peas, beets, beans.
Crops maturing in 10 to 12 weeks
Cabbage, potatoes, peas (early),
onion sets, greens.
Crops maturing In 11 to 13 weeks
Corn, early beets.
Crops maturing gin 15 to IS weeks
Potatoes, root crops.
Perhaps the first crop that will
be planted by most gardeners will
be peas, since they are not easily
injured by light frost and can be
put in the soil as soon as it can be
worked up well in the spring. The
smooth seeded varieties are usually
the hardier, the wrinkled seeded kind
should be planted later In the season.
After the ground has become thor
oughly worked up and allowed to
settle so that it becomes compact

CHAPTER ORGANIZED
HERE LAST NIGHT.
Work Is for All, Declares W.
Hush, Coast Representative
eed for Hospital Supplied Is
Emphasized at Meeting.
With 200 Bend men and women
in attendance, the local chapter of
the National Red Cross society was
organized last night at the Hippo
drome, with J. P. Keyes president,
H. J: Overturt and Frank R. Prince,
vice presidents, Mrs. A. E. Trahan,
secretary, and C. 8. Hudson, treas
urer. William H. Hush, Pacific coast
organizer, was in charge of the meet
ing after it was called to order by
H. J. Orerturf, and sketched briefly
the work of the Red Cross as a pre
liminary to organization. He la re
maining in Bend today to assist In
giving the work of the chapter a
flying start.
In his address before the Bend
residents who have made the Red
Cross possible, Mr. Hush emphasized
that the organization is the human
itarian arm of the government. "In
time of peace,' we also bare need of
It, but not of course, to the extent
that we have now. It Is up to us to
care for the army and navy," he de
clared. Needs are Great.
The need for a 125,000,00 endow
ment fund, and for the establishment
of base hospitals, was pointed out.
Mr. Hush mentioned that in the work
of the society on the Mexican bor
der at the time of the militia occu
pation, $340,000 was used, a large
part of tins being for the refugee
fund.
Especially did the speaker seek
to destroy the opinion that the Red
Cross society is an organization for
women. "This is not a sewing cir
cle," he declared, "but an organiza
tion for everyone. We want men as
well as women, and we want school
children, too. All can help in the
work.
Wires to Capital. .
"Do you know that If the United
States were to have one great battle
tomorrow, that the supply of lint.
bandages and other material of the
kind available would last for only
24 hours? We have only one hos
pital ship, and God knows how many
we are going to need if this war gets
under way in real earnest."
At the close of Mr. Hush's address.
a nominating committee composed
of W. D. Barnes. Mrs. H. K. Brooks
and A. Whisnant, was named, their
report resulting in the election of
the chapter's officers.
' As soon as the meeting had ad
journed, Mr. Hush sent a night let
ter to headquarters at Washington,
D. C, announcing the organization
of the Bend chapter.

the executive committee held at the
