The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1910-12-23

There he had spent one summer vaca-
ton of his college life. 1t was ten
years past. but this pose, the rope in
his hand, flashed IL oack to him.
Now they were almost on the Japa-
nese. For the moment he seemed to
waver. He glanced at the approach
ing launch, and reached uncertainty
for the boat hook. Yet it did not
seem to occur TO him TO yield.
And then, as for the hundredth time
he laid his hands on the motor, he
uttered a cry. 1t was plain to Orme
that the cause of the supposed break
down had been discovered. But was
there time for the Japanese to get
away? 1t was doubtful. He opened
the feed pipe and let the gasoline
again flow in. The launch was now
so near that Orme could almost have
leaped the gap, but the Japanese bent
his energy to the heavy fly Wheel tug
ging at it hurriedly.
The motor started. The boat began
to move.
Even now it looked as though the
collision could not be prevented, but
the Japanese, Selling the steering
wheel, turned the boat so quickly TO
starboard that the stern fell away
from the bow of the approaching
launch. There was no crash, no hard
bump; merely a glancing blow so
slight that in that calm water it
scarcely made the boats careen.
Then Orme threw his moose. The
distance was less than ten feet, and
the loop spread, quick and true, over
the head of the Japanese. But, swift
though the action was, the Japanese
bad an instant to prepare himself.
His right arm shot up. AS Orme, jerk
ing at the rope, tried TO tighten the
moose, the hand of the japanese push
ed il over his head and IL slid over
the side into the water. In a few
seconds the swift boat had disap-
-peared in the night.
Tightening his lips grimly, Orme
drew the wet rope in and mechanical
ly coiled it, There was nothing to
say. He had failed. So good an OPP
portunity to recover the papers would
hardly return.
Silently he turned back to the 9th
ers. Porter had. swung the launch
around and was heading toward the
distant lights of Evanston. The girl
was peering in the direction whence
came the sound of the receding boat.
Thus, for some time they remained
silent.
At last the girl broke into a laugh.
II was a ripping, silvery laugh, ex-
pressing an infectious appreciation of
the humor OF their situation. Orme
chuckled in spite of himself. If she
could laugh like that, he need not stay
in the dumps. And yet in his mind
ranlled the sense of failure. He had
made a poor showing before her-and
she was laughing. Again the corners
of his mouth drew down.
Il suppose the notion is amusing"
he saba cowboy at sea-"
"Oh, | was not laughing at you"
She had sobered quickly at his words.
Il shouldn't blame you. If you did"
1T is the whole situation" she went
on. And it wouldn't be so funny, if
il weren't so serious
Il appreciate it," he said.
And you know how serious it is
she went on. But truly, Mr.. Orme.
! am glad that we did not damage
that boat 1t might have been ter
rible. If he had been drowned" her
voice trailed off in a faint shudder,
and Orme remembered how tired she
must be, and how deeply disappointed
Now, Girl" he said, bending over

RECEIPTS OF BIG MILL

Reno. New, July 6.-TeX Richard
gave out last night an official state
ment of receipts and the attendance at
the big fight 1t shows the total gate
receipts were $270,775. Those that
paid admission number 1850.
In addition to those who paid to
see the fight, Rickard says there were
$50 complimentary tickets given to
the press and others. He estimates
the number that slipped in at various
places around the arena, breaking in
holes in the boarding or climbing up
the rim of the big structure at 1900
All told, the attendance is given at
1S.020.
There were sold 1858 seats at $50:
$50 at $40; ga at $50; 1,505 at s25;
1.457 at $50; 1,706 at SIS and 1850 at
$40.
The purse with the bonuses given
the two fighters amounted to 1921 900
and Rickard figured that his expenses
at San Francisco cost him about $780,
900. Thus he and his partner, Glea-
son. will have a profit of 100000.

WHO WILL WREST
BELT FROM NEGRO
Fight Followers at Sea as to Whom
They Can Turn.

New York, July 6.-For the first
time in the prize ring, a negro is the
undisputed heavyweight champion of
the world. And what white man is
there in sight today who can wrest
that title from John Arthur Johnson?
That is the question which the fight
followers of New York, as well as of
the whole country are asking today.
The only answer is an echo-"Who?'
The only hope the fans can see to-
day lies in Al Kaufman, but it is ad-
mitted generally that this hope has
not very solid foundation. Kauf-
man, while young, big and strong, has
hardly given evidence as yet of pos
sessing the qualities of a first-class
fighter Aside from him the pugilistic
horizon can be scanned in vain.
Despite this situation, however,
followers of the game are cheering
each other by recalling some not too
ancient ring history. II is pointed out
that after Sullivan had defeated Kill
rain, it was predicted that no man
could be found to defeat the mighty
John L., but along came Jim Corbett.
the young eX-bank clerk, who sent
Sullivan down to bitter defeat. Ad
mirers of Corbett, calling attention to
his admittedly great cleverness and
quickness, were equally sure that
there was no man in sight to wrest the
title from him. And yet Bob Fitzsim-
mons. at that time fighting as a mid
dleweight, came out of his class and
took the crown from Gentleman Jim.
And so. they reason, somewhere there
may be even now a sturdy youth who
is destined to bring the ring laurels
back to the Caucasian race.

LESS WATER WASTE
Large Volumes Are Lost by Alb
4 sorprtion and Seepage.
Ono Of Most Common Sources Of Loss
10 Poor Preparation Of Soll-
Too Shallow irrigation 10
Another Cause.

Recent investigation made BY the
experiment station have shown that
the quantity Of water which plants
use forms but . small part Of that
which Is diverted from streams for ir.
risa,ion purpose. Largo volumes are
lost by absorption and sespage in the
earthen channels Of canal systems.
Similar losses occur in tho bitches
which supply farms. and . large part
Of the remainder 10 wasted In irri-
eating crops. The farmer 10 chiefly
concerned In lessening the waste Of
water in his supply ditch and on bis
farm. In localities where water 10
scarce. the supply ditch should be
made warer-tight. This may be done
BY lining the channel with cement
concrete. cement plaster. asphalt,
heavy crude oil. or clay puddle.
Fumes or pipes may also be used ~ .
substitute for an esrthen ditch.
One Of the most common sources Of
loss OF water IL poor preparation Of
the surface. When the soil II irrigated
by flooding from field laterals an un-
even surface causes needless waste OF
water. extra labor in spreading It over
the surface. and smaller yields. Tho
water flows into the low places. which
receive too much and may become
water-logged. while the high places
are left without water and the crop
thereon Is dwarfed. The surface be-
tween field laterals should be so even
ly graded that water will flow In .
thin sheet over the entire surface. the
excess being caught up by the lower
lateral.
Another common cause of waste IL
the lack Of attendance. Water Ia Oft
en- turned on q portion OF q field and
permitted to run without attention for
hours and even days. On some farms
the irrigators look after the water for
ton hours and turn 1t loose for the
balance OF the day. Under this prac-
tise the low places receive too much.
the high places little or none. and
. large part flows OF the field to tho
injury Of the road and adjoining
farms
Too shallow and too frequent irri.
CATION Is another source OF waste.
Wcttihg the surface and neglecting to
cultivate 1t afterwards may result In
the loss by evaporation Of three
fourths OF the water which Is applied
in this way. For most plants. and for
all deep-rooted plants In particular. the
ground should be so prepared that wa
ter would readily percolate to con-
siderable depth beneath the surface
and enough water should be applied
to moisten the subsoil.
Again. in farming by irrigation
thorough and frequent cultivation is
of first Importance 1t not only pre-
vents the escape Of large quantities
of soil moisture. but 1t greatly I'm
proves the condition of the soil.

CABBAGE NEEDS MUCH WATER
Frequency and Number Of IrrIsations
Depends on the Soil and Amount
Of Rainfall.

Few crops are more particular about

ponds on the character OF the soil and
the amount of rainfall. II soils are
Light and gravelly. with good under

be gone over twice or three times be.
fore all the crop IL taken OF.
II the crop Is to be shipped the
cabbages are hauled direct to the
cars. After being weighed the cab
bages are either Grated. sacked. or
sometimes loaded on to the cars loose.
One Of the most serious insect pests
up to the present time Is the little
black fea beetle (Epitrix cucumeris).
These insects feed on the stems and
cotyledons of the plants Just a. the
seedlings break through the ground
II the insects are plentiful they some
times destroy all the plants. Growers
frequently fail to locate the trouble
because OF the small size of the In.
sects and their habit Of jumping away
from the plants when disturbed. This
pest Is particularly troublesome II
the soil forms q crust SO that the In
sects can find protection under the
crust a. the Seeding comes up.
Several remedies. such as ashes,
ground tobacco stems. lime and insect
powder, have been used with varying
degrees Of success. II the insects are
numerous the only method of prevent
ing the trouble il to grow the plants
