That the ball can be seen as well by players and spectators as in the daytime is nu longer in question. The only prob- lem is whether the ueople will want to have their baseball at night. For generations they have been used to having,it in the daytime, and it might be as difficult to get them to turn out to night games, after the novelty has worn off, as to get them to go to the theatres in the morning or to spend Saturday afternoon in church. We are inclined to think it will not. \Va know that the main reason for the tremen- dous popularity of dog racing, wher- ever it is legalized, is that the races are held at night and that the aver- age working man whose time is occu- pied between eight in the morning and FOR POULTRY lttf Platt Pavduttaarrttpthurn;n¢d teeneeorIWTre Pommy BO011-FREE Pratt Food tborpanq ofCeneda.Llminsd J28 Cert.,.

Eleven runs were scored in the first inning by Des dVioines, which eventually won the game by 11 to 6. But all the runs were made ,.as th°e result of solid hitting and wild pitch- ing. There was not a play spoiled by the light or lack of it. Everything that happened might just as well have happened on a fine summer after- noons, and no player offered the arti- ficial illumination as an excuse for his work. Only one fly ball was. mis- judged. In fact, in the special ac- counts of the game which we have read only one complaint was made and that concerns the netting to pro- tect the spectators in the stands. The light is powerfully reflected off the wire and bothers the spectators rather• than the players. This would seem to be a detail which could be reme- died easily. The playing field was•,A.11uminated beweights on the top of six galvanizers steel towers, all of them erected out- side the playing field itself. Two o2 then were behind the home plate, one each behind first and third base and the others behind right field and left field, respectively. It is estimated that at current rates the lighting cost $25 for the evening's sport. T h e towers cost about $20,000, So it will be seen that the financial outlay is not prohibitive. Bud Tinning, the Des Moines pitcher, said after the game: "There doesn't seem to be any difference to me." Felix Vigare, Wichita third baseman, reported:— "Although I didn t get any hard drives down the third baseline I be- lieve a fielder could judge there just as easily by night as by day." Les- lie Nunamaker, former big league catcher and now manager of the Lin- eoln team of the Nebraska State League, says: "I am thoroughly con- vinced and feel that the minor league attendance problem has been solved." Claude Davenport, manager of the Des Moines team, testifies: "The lights have no effect on the players' actions. This talk of the pitcher hav- ing such an advantage over that bats. man is bunk. The white ball against the black background of the sky af- fords a fine target for the batter." Sec Taylor, sports editor of the Des Moines Register, writes:— "On the other hand many brilliant steps and catches were made, and most of the skeptics' questions were answered by things that occurred. For instance August Dugas raced into deep right field and captured as lona; and as high a fly as one will want to see. Later Torn Hughes, Des Moines centre fielder, had to handle a tough, hard-hit liner. which did not rise higher than the grandstand, but he went almost to the left -centre. fiell fence into a crowd of fans standing along the boards and made the catch. Vigare hit a sizzling liner back at Tinning, but the latter succeeded in getting his glove in front of the ball, knocking down the drive and com- pleting the play at first. ground bells were handled with all the eclat of day baseball. Another thing point- ed out by visiting baseball men to prove that the light were efficient was the fact that the outfielders invariab- ly started in the right direction with the crack of the bat against the ball." It is said that there were hundreds of .baseball men at the game, nearly all of them skeptical before it and nearly all of them enthusiastis after- wards. The Wichita club plans to er- ect towers at once. Others will fol- low. Nunamaker's comment is sig- nificant. Ordinary week day attend- ance at ball parks everywhere, espec- ially in the smaller cities, is invar- iably poor and barely pays expenses. Profits are made by holiday and Sat- urday crowds. In this respect base- ball owners are like amusement park proprietors whose money is practical- ly all made on the big holidays, the 'ot'her days merely carrying them a- long on an even keel. The larger the cities are, of course, the more people there are who work at night or otherwise have leisure in the af- tel'hoons so that they may attend ball games when they choose. But the great mass'ks of wage earners and ball fans work in the daytime and rarely get a chance to see a game on n week day. Night baseball, if it comes, will be a tremendous boon to them. It might also abolish the dou- ble-header nuisance which is an undue strain on the players but is made nec- essary by the avariciods tactics of club owners who start the season too early and continue it too late.

We 'stayed the rest of the day and night in Banff and saw a few of the sights which have been much advertised. It is certainly a beautiful place. We started out a- gain next morning for our . trip through the mountains by way of the Banff -Windermere trail; The. high- way winds in and out along the foot of the mountains till we .passed Castle Mt., with its turrets and battlements and dungeons, all fashioned by nature, and looking more wonderful than can be imagined. We then began to climb zig-zagging back and forth, up and up till -we had gained a height of over five thousand feet. Hee we passed Oastle 1VIt. BungaloweCamp. It was a lovely spot; then we began to t4escend and the going down was cer- tainly more thrilling than .going up, doubling on our tracks over and ov- er again till we were down to level if it could be said we were ever on level again. Following Vermillion river and foot of the Mts. for a distance, we again began to ascend and we repeated the same manouvering over Kootenay and Sinclair Pass. They are all on the Windemere trail, each one pres- enting new beauty and grandeur and coloring. At the foot of the Mts. we passed under overhanging rock; that looked ready to drop. Radiurn Springs, just beyond Sinclair Pass, is simply magnificent and must be seen in order to understand the beau- ty of it. The rocks there are red like red brick, hundreds of feet high ir. places. There are several hotels and we stopped and watched the bathers for a while and saw a flock of mountain sheep \feed•ing on the side of the mountain, where we won- dered how they ever found a foot- ing. We had hoped to make Cran- brook that night;"'but stopping so of- ten by the way to get ;better views through the mountains and then striking a piece of bad road between Fairmont, Hot Springs, over Stanford Pass and Ta Ta Creek, we did not make very good time, and we did not drive after dark; 8.30 or nine o'clock was the latest we drove, I think, on account of the children, they got so tired, so we put up at Ta Ta Creek for the night, which consists of one 'general store and four tourist cabins. Why it was ever founded there did not appear to us, but it serried us to good purpose that night and may have done so for others. We reached Kingsgate early next day, having stopped at Moyie on Lake Moyle for lunch, and being able to give' the customs officers satisfactory answers, we passed .through the gates into Eastport and put up for the night in a homey little cabin on the banks of the Kootenay River. We had a real rest there, and had good roads next morning after getting about 30 miles ourt, and practically level; through green timber like great walla on either side of us, it seemed cool and refreshing after our previous climbing and we enjoyed it very much As we neared Spokane we passed by lovely orchards laden with fruit and the entrance to the city seemed very nice, but after reaching the centre of the city, as we had to do, the going out was through a more condensed part of the city. The streets were narrow and very dirty, and at the outer edge there were a number of bridges, both traffic and railway bridges, which was very confusing to us as :grangers, and made it difficult to find the right trail. (-However, we nllanaged it in time and spent the night in Davenport, where we had our one poor accommodation of the trip. We lunched at Soap Lake next day having passed througih just ord- inary country. Soap Lake is a sort of health resort, the water in the lake being of a soapy quality frothing like suds when stirred quickly, and the lake is very shallow for n long piece out, and the mud at the bottom was (black and is supposed to have medicinall qualities that cures rheum- atism. They have a tpostital there for the treatment of patients and seemed quite busy. In the afternoon we pass- ed or travelled along the foot of mountains entirely different to any we had yet seen. They looked like huge walls built of great bricks that had been through a fire; the tops were quite leel, just like the tap of a wall and in places had started to crumble away, the bricks or blocks having rolled down right to the edge )t. p crop You 1,�(l 4lhi l lbkq't nee, gee, Mestre ii' of the bigfiway. The Weeks, although of different sizes, were Cleanly cut like bricks, The whet# range looked to us as though it had been built by hands about a thousand years ago and was I eginning to •deoay. I have some flowers that I picked at the foot of them. After passing these we be- gan to conte to the fruit orchards, but it was not till we reached the Wanatclhee Valley that/ we saw the fruit gpowring country in all its beau- ty. We travelled for miles through an.avenue of fruit trees, loaded so that they had to be propped up in or- der to keep them from breaking down undertheir load and almost hanging over the curb. Then they would be on a .slope far above us and • then again we could look down on the tops of the trees and see- the fruits glis- tening through the foliage far below us. It was all very beautiful, but I should like to be there in blossom time. Leavenworth was our stopping place ter that night, and we were advised to take the .Stevens Pass Trail rather than the Blewett trail, which we did, but would not do again. We passed through about three miles of snow sheds on Tuesday morning, formerly used by the trains, but albandonedr for an eight mile tunnel through the mountain as a shorter cut. We be- gan to clin-iib steadily up the steepest climbing we' had yet drone with the poorest roads, in and out, back and. forth, and always up, no level to rest the driver, till we were 4,061 feet high .and the trail was so narrow that it was only where they had widened it a bit that you could meet another car, and in one place there was a three-mile stretch that was just wide enough for one car. Thousand* of feet .high we could look down over three tier of trees to a narrow gully et the bottom then the mountains on the other side, just as high, but were just barren racks. There was a lady vrith two little folks managaing a gas station at the top and seemed quite happy. I certainly admired her pluck; it was a lovely spot when you got there. Then down the other side doing the doubling of our tracks a- gain, turning hair -pin curves (they call them and well named, too)and seeing a track or trail about five or six hundred feet below us wondering what road it was, then after coasting for some distance,` with the brakes held tight, turning another curve and finding ourselves on this same trail and looking up at the one we had just gone over and looking down at an- other below. There was no fence or anything else ,between us and hun- dreds and in some places •thousands of feet (below us, if we had gone too near the side. However, we arrived to level again without any mishaps and turned into Stevens Pass Tourist Camp and had diidner. It was a love- ly spot and we all thoroughly relax• ed after our strenuous forenoon and enjoyed the rest very nvueh. We had the car gone over and the brakes tightened at the first garage, which Your ' : reakfast Shot from Guns so you don't have to kook it Read how this amazing in- vention gives Puffed Grains the virtual nourishment of hot cooked cereals. WHEN Professor Anderson found the way to shoot wheat and rice grains from guns he solved an important problem. He gave these crisp, delicious, ready -to -eat cereals the virtual nourishment of hot cooked cereals. Every grain of wheat and rice contains 125 million food cells. Every food cell must be broken before the grain can be completely digestible. It takes lqng hours of cooking to do this. But Professor Anderson found a better way.. He seals grains of wheat and rice in bronze guns. Revolves them in fiery ovens. Then fires the guns; This causes 125 million explosions in every grain. It blasts open every tiny food cell. Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice are thus' made completely digestible. Hence practically as nourishing as hot cooked cereals. The ains become 8 times normal size. They have all the' buttery crunchiness of fresh toast. They ,are made to taste like sweet new nut -meats. Never before was rich grain nourishment made so delectably good to eat. You owe it to your family to give them this extra delicious grain food that tastes like nut goodies. Order Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice from your grocer today.
