Other News Of the City.

After successfully defending the
Hunting and Fishing trophy cup for
ten wears. the Marshalltown Gun Club
today lost it to Eldora in a very pretty
match before the traps. Eldora Won
by the narrow margin of one target,
the contest being close from start to
finish, and undetermined until the last
man stepped to the traps.
The total score of the teams repre-
senting the opposing clubs was EOS to
204 Each team was made UP of five
men, and the match was at thirty sim
giles and ten doubles each. The sim
giles were from unknown traps and at
unknown angles, while the doubles
were at known traps and angles.
When the singles were shot Eldora had
a lead of one target, Brown, OF the Wis
iting team, having made a score of
thirty straight. During the shooting of
the doubles the race was exciting, and
several times Marshalltown was in the
lead. Abbott was not shooting in his
usual form, and Cook had been i'll and
was out of condition. The individual
scores in the singles were as follows:

to the method of preparing the soil and
of sowing the grain. with the variety
of seed used also factor The seed
was sown on oats stubble which was
disced thoroughly to loosen up the top
soil and make it mellow. This top soil
was then turned under with a plow, the
field thoroughly narrowed, and the seed
was sown by disc drill, a machine
that is coming into general use where
winter wheat is raised with success.
AS a strong argument in favor of
THUS method of preparation and plant
ing, Mr.. Greene calls attention to the
fact that Mr. Will H. Wilson, on soil
that is equally as good and perhaps
better, soWed the same variety of seed,
but continued the old method of pre-
pairing the soil Mr.. Wilson'S yield
was heavy for Iowa, but was less than
Mr.. Greene's by about ten bushels per
acre. Mr.. Greene is preparing to SOW
twenty acres on sod ground this fall.
He says that this method will not work
we'll on corn ground, because of the
lateness of the corn crop and the pres
ence of the stalks. He is of the opin-
ion that the Turkish Red variety is the
only seed that will Whilst the win

LOVING CUPFOR DEvlNE
Citizens of San Francisco Honor Red
Cross Superintendent on the Eve Of
His Departure-Tendered a Banquet
at Which Prominent Men Are Pres.

DR.. Edward T. Devine, a former
principal of the Marshalltown high
school, and brother of DR.. w. S. De-
vine. of this city, was highly honored
by the officials and citizens of San
for the east, after completing his task
of experimenting the relief work fol-
lowing the destruction of that CITY,
The citizens rendered him banquet,
and presented him with loving cup,
as tribute to the man who success
fully distributed supplies to the refu-
gees.
The banquet and presentation were
at the ST Francis hotel, and were in
spired by M. H. De Young. Addresses
were made by Mr. De Young, Mayor
Schmitz, Senator Perkins, Dr. Devine
and others. All the addresses by the
San F,ranciscans were replete with
words of commentator of the work of
DIR. Devine, who was sent to that city
by Secretary of War Taft and the Red
Cross Society. The address of Mayor
Schmitz was typical Of the others. The
mayor said in part:
1--WE meet tonight to show our appre-
citation Of the man who has appreciat-
ed our needs. DR.. Devine came here
few days after the calamity with
the purpose to do all in his power to
help the people of San Francisco to
help them selves. We were amateurs
Thank God, we had had no experience
in administering relief to large num-
bers of needy people. We needed the
assistance Of some one Of experience.
someone who would not he carried
away with the excitement of the mo-
ment. who could lead in the work Of
relief l use that word, for it was not
charity. That will begin now We
needed intelligence, and there came to
us man who spoke as with knowl-
edge. I have watched his work and I
have found it without flaw. 1 have
found him painstaking day and night;
and have had some pretty late meet
ings with him. There is no man who
ever did. anything that was worth while
doing that was not criticised. But the
strong man does not fear criticism
DR.. Devine was severely criticised
when he was stranger at our gates
But he knew that he was right, and he
went ahead. We are here tonight-not
large gathering, but a representative
one-to say to him that what he has
done has been appreciated, and that
when he leaves he will leave behind
him friends, who have not been able
to show him the appreciation he has
won.'
DIR. Devine, in company with his
brother, DR.. w. IS. Devine of this city,
who was called to assist him, is maxi
ing the journey to this city in an auto
mobile, and is expected to reach Mar
shalltown during the latter part of this
month.

The Bioness of Brazil.

Brazil has an area of 3,280,000 square
miles, or that of the United States
with half of Alaska added. This Is,
approximately, five-siNths of the whole
of Europe. or almost one hundred times
the SIZE of the mother country. Com
pared even with Australia, Brazil not
only holds her own but has a surplus
area that would overlap the state OF
Texas, while on her own continent she
almost equals the combined areas OF
the other twelve republics and colonies,
one-half of Argentina only having to
be deducted. This will readily be ap-
parent on consulting an atlas, as will
the equally astonishing statement that
her extreme length from north to
south is approximately thirty-eig
and one-half degrees, or the distance
from The northern extremity of Maine
to the coast of Venezuela.
Finally dividing the land area of the
new world by language into English,
Spanish and Portuguese (Which in
cludes all but Haiti and the small col
onial holdings of France, Holland and
Denmark) we arrive at the following
remarkable facts: The United States
with Alaska, Canada including the is
lands within the Arctic Circle, New
foundand, British Guiana, British
Honduras. and the various British is
lands of the West Indies make total
of As per cent of the whole; the eigh-
teen Spanish speaking republics, with
Porto Rico, 80 per cent, Brazil alone
making up the remainder, orr % per
cent. And yet, to the average Ameri-
can, the Portuguese language is re-
garded practically as a negligible
quantity. while many of our exporters
complacently classify Brazil as Span
ish- speaking, regarding it, no doubt.

referee, and A. B. Hoover and Willard
Hull as scorers. At the close of the
trophy shoot several events were ar
ranged in which members of both
clubs participated. Accompanying the
Eldora team were Jake Abbott and
Mike milford.
The Hunting and Fishing cup was
put up about twelve years ago by a
New York paper entitled Hunting and
Fishing, which has since suspended
publication. 1t was first won by the
Highland Park Gun Club, Of Des
Moiaes, which was then challenged by
the local gun club. Marshalltown won
and has since successfully defended it
from Waterloo, Ottumwa and Grinnell,
which mas made two efforts to secure
it. The cup is open at all times to
challenge, but the challenged team has
the privilege of naming the place and
date for the match.

Gently purchased separator with ~
inch cylinder, 5O-inch threshing separ-

gasoline engine and is threshing oats
at the rate of 100 to $50 bushels an
hour. His son Merritt Jr., tends the
engine, separator, ETC., and six teams
are kept busy hauling the grain to the

with separator, corn shelter and

All the boys finally succeeded in getting
back on the coal barges with the exception
Of William Wiederseim, aged ten years, Of
Allegheny. Just as he was about to pull
himself up on the coal float the big fish
sunk its teeth into the calf of the lads
right leg. The boy was rapidly being drag
ged down under the water again when his
screams brought Jacob Miller, the watch
man of the coal fleet. to the rescue. He
seized the boys arm and then picked up
base ball bat which was lying on the float
With the bat he beat the fish over the head,
but even after life was extinct in the body
of the big fish the boys leg was still in it's
jaws. Its jaws had to be pried apart before
the boy was released.
The lad was taken home, where ply

fish measured about six feet in length and
weighed 50 pounds.
