By the last census it appears that
the population Of France is now 3S,-
22s, $50, an increase in i've years Of
only 3,S1s, and this mainly through
immigration. For several years past
the death rate has exceeded the birth
rate. These facts become still more
significant when a comparison IL made
between France and her neighbors. In
Germany the increase Of population
during the last I've years has been
Asst, 49,, nearly 100000 a. against
La, 900 IN France. The contrast Il still
more striking when these figures are
compared with those Of the past At
the beginning Of the century France
outnumbered Prussia three to one. To-
day Prussia contains almost an equal
population. and as for the whole of
Germany, there are i've Germans 10
every four Frenchmen.

Reports In regard to winter wheat
are discouraging. The continuous rains,
followed by high water In the streams,
have flooded the low lands in many
portions Of southern Illinois, 90 that
what wheat was not winter killed has
been utterly ruined BY water. Reports
from nearly half Of the counties in the
state, including almost all Of the win
ter-Eheat growing counties, are that
two-thirds Of the wheat seeded last fall
1,74e. 900 acres was winter killed or
destroyed by foods. and the condition
Of the remaining third-5ss. 900 acres
is 50 poor that under the most favora-
BILE conditions only one-third Of an av-
erage crop may be expected. The out
look Ia that little more than enough
wheat for seed win be harvested In
Illinois this season. and the people win
have to depend on other states Cor
wheat for consumption. q condition
that has occurred but once In the agri-
cultural history Of the state.

A PITCHERS BATTLE,
In which the Hartfords Took the
Game.

NORFOLK. VA. August H.--(special)-
Hartford made II two out OF three to-

game. 1t was a pitchers battle from

miller doing splendid work with the ad-
vantage a shade in favor OF the former.
With a little faster fielding behind him,
though. the Norfolk twirler would have
won out by a score OF one TO nothing.
The locals made their lone run in the first
inning when A. Kelley hit, was advanced
to second on a sacrifice. and scored on
Netherlands single. a double play ended
the inning.
In the first five innings the visitors did
not get a chance TO score. getting only
two hits. In the sixth. however. after
two men had been retired Pfanmiller al
lowed Doherty to walk. Mack Knocked a
f1v TO short centre which Mch'arlan could
not get under. and then stole second.

About $3.50 people went out to SEQ the
