Was the improved form shown by the

If IL is to be permanent why has It

These questions are Of great interest
20 the fans, and the true answers would
be interesting. That the team on Fri
day and Saturday played % per cent
better baseball than it had played for

$40, and we raised ia American vine
yards during the sa,ae period 1,500,-
! 100000 pounds Of grapes, which crop
brought our American vineyardists over
S15.OO0.OOO more. Nearly one-third of
these grapes went into wine, but the
bigger portion went to the consumer
in eight and four pound baskets and
were presumably eaten. American
subtropical fruits brought the produ- /
GERS nearly $40 100000 and we import .
ed from the West Indies and southern .
Europe S2J.OOO,OOO worth of tropical .
fruits.
We paid the American farmer over
S2J.O00.00O for his berries during the
short summer season Of 1905. and, put
ting the latter in the lists with fruits,
we enriched the producers of the vari-
ous fruits which found the American
