To Charles Adams, the young Pitts

ton of the credit for winning the
series.
This is the third victory for the
youngster, as he won the first game at
Pittsburg, to 1, the fifth game, at
Pittsburg, to 4, and today's contest
He held the Tigers safely at all
times and allowed only six hits, two

REPORT ON SOIL YIELD.
Government Report Shows That Soils
Are Not Wearing Out.

Washington, d. C.-Soils Of the
United States are not wearing out
and the crop yields are rather In
creasing than decreasing. These facts
are demonstrated In a bulletin issued
by the bureau of soils of the agricul-
tural department, prepared by Profess
sor Milton Whitney, chief of the bu-
reau. The bulletin deals exbaustively
with the yields of crops from 1867
to 1906, inclusive.
"A careful study of the date which
has been presented appears to Justify
two ~conclusiong.n saws Professor
Whitney. First. that the productiv-
ity Of the newer agricultural soils OF
the United States and of the older
agricultural soils OF Europe, taken as
whole, and for the nation, are not
declining, as is popularity supposed.
Individual farming deteriorates and
soils wear out, as they have always
done, but as whole, 1t seems prob
able that we are producing more
crops per acre than formerly.
Second, that so far as our informa-
ton goes, there is apparently no sig
nificant difference at the present time
betweenS the composition of the old
agricultural soils of Europe and the
newer agricultural soils of the United
States, with respect to potash, phos-
phoric acid, lime and magnesia."
The bulletin gives averages by
states for the production of wheat per
acre from 1868 to 1907. The first three
are; Vermont 1876 bushels; Maine,
1876; New York, 1877.
Southern states mentioned have the
following averages;
Maryland, 13.3 Missouri, 1872; Tex
as, lis; Virginia, 81; Arkansas, SO;
Tennessee, 80; Mississippi, 81; Ala
bama 7.6; Georgia, Ill North Caro-
lima, So: South Carolina, SIS.

ENGLISH-GERMAN WAR PREDICTED.
Conflict May Come in 1912, Says Lord
Northcllffe,

Winnipeg, Manitoba. Lord North
cliffe, owner of the London Times, in
an interview here, predicted war be-
tween Germany and Great Britain.
He said in the Krupp works alone
one hundred thousand men are work
ing night and day and on Sundays,
preparing for war.
Lord Northcliffe said:
II will make the suggestion, with
respect to the Canadians who are
investing their money ane labor in
constructing railroads and building
grain elevators, that they keep an
eye on European affairs, and begin
to figure out why it is all the ship
building yards in Germany are busy
constructing rapid cruisers and first
class battleships, and why it is that
Krupp's works have increased their
hands to over 100000 men, nearly the
population of Winnipeg|
His conviction is that war can only
be averted by most complete and
thorough preparation on the side of
Great Britain. He said that some
Canadians have Utopian views, and
think such war a crime.
"The Germans don't think So" he
continued "They have magnii-
cent army and the second navy in
the world, and they ask what these
things are for.
They are thrifty people. They
made an immense sum Of money out
Of their last great war.
They will fight or threaten again
when they think that 1t will pay"
He said that some observers be-
lieyed such war might begin by
1912.

NAR ON RATS.
.Anti-Rat Clubs Urged by Government
Officials,

Officials.
Washington, D. C.-Rat clubs ard
other societies for systematic warfare
on destructive rodents may leap into
popular favor among housekeepers,
now that the government has official
~ sanctioned this method of extermi-
nation of the worst mammal pest in
the United States.
The rat has been recognized by the
government as problem. It's activ-
ity in disseminating infectus dis
eases has long doomed up as a danger
signal to the health authorities, and
losses from it's depfedations run into
many millions dollars year, accord
ing to an official statement just is
sued by the department of agricul-
ture.
DIR. David E. Lantz of the bureau
of biological survey, has taken vigor-
GUS hold of the question and says:
However valuable cats may be as
mousers, few of them learn to catch
rats. The ordinary house cat is too
well fed and consequently too lazy to
undertake the capture of an animal
as formidable as the brown rat
The department in a bulletin en-
phasizes the Importance of rat clubs
and suggests that interest in organ
lied rat hunts may be stimulated by
altering prizes or rewards in various
communities to the individual hauling
forth the greatest number Of dead
rats after one of the crusades.

GENERAL GRANT A TEETOTALER.
Would Give His Life to Free Country
of Whisky Curse.


Chicago, Ill.-Major General Fred
erick d. Grant, who Is to lead the
temperance parade here September rs,
was quoted by the Rev. r. f. Dorm
blazer, pastor of Grace English Luz
theran Church, in addressing union
rally of temperance people at Willard
Hall, as saying:
'Ten young men that General Grant
does not drink drop OF liquor and
has not for eighteen years, because
he is afraid to drink. | tried to drink
with extreme moderation, because 1
knew that alcohol is the worst poison
that man can take into his system,
but found that it was an absolute
impossibility to drink moderately. Be-
cause moderate drinking is an impos-
sibility, / became an absolute teeto-
taler-a crank, If you please. / will
not allow it in my house. Drink Is the
greatest curse of mankind, because
practically all the crime and disaster
are the result of it. Ninety-five per
cent of assertions and acts Of lawless-
ness in the army are due to drink If
| could, by offering my body as SAG
rifce, free this country from the fell
cancer-the demon drink-I'd thank
the Almighty for the privilege Of do
ing it. If had the greatest appoint
i've power in the country, no man
would get even the smallest appoint
ment from me unless he showed
proof Of his absolute teetotalism
"As it is, of the member of my
staff, not one of them touches drink.
They know better"
