Official Investigations prove that the
statements put forth in a recent mag
azine article, concerning the burden
laid upon the agricultural interests Of
the country by the ravages of field
mice, while having the appearance of
sensatiOnalism, are in fact far within
the bounds Of truth. The tield-mice
are counted by billions. They breed
four times a year, and average six to
q litter Therefore, if unmolested, the
progeny of single pair, in five sea-
sons, would number 100000. So it
is very easy to see how even the use
Of the term "billions" involves no eX-
aggeration. AS every mouse con-
sumes and wastes about thirty pounds
Of the produce of the farm in a year,
even a single billion of them requires
100000 tons of food for it's support.
Supposing all those tons to be hay,
and feed at $12 ton, they represent a
value of S1SO,O00,O0O a year. But
these things are cheap in comparison
with the fruit trees, the grain and the
garden vegetables which make up that
immense tonnage. The calculation
fairly takes ones breath away as it
reveals the immensity of the tribute
which the Man-the American Man
pays to the Mouse.

came through the open window:
"Your lilies are beautiful, ImOgen,"

"They are uncOmmonly handsome"
returned Imogen stiffly, making a
movement to close the window. Her
rather sharp black eyes were looking
absently over Huldah's shabby hat.

large head. Henrietta Owen was

"Small wonder" remarked Mrs.

Imogen paused in her task of dust

"Whatever do you mean, Henrietta
Owen?" she demanded, with asperity.

though it is not over, nothing but the
most surprising reversal from the form
shown in the three games played thus
far will prevent the Athletics from win
ming the supreme honors of base ball for
1911 from the Giants. And If all hands
attend to their knitting the series will
not be prolonged oyer five games. With
Bender right-and he doubtless will be
after full four days rest-there should
be nothing to the next game but the
Mackmen, and that. too, irrespective of
Manager McGraw's selection. 1t is
doubtful if he will send Marquard
back, but will probably reserve him
for the fifth game in New York. That
will reduce his choice to three men, Gran
dali, Ames and Wiltse. 1t may be that
McGraw means to take desperate
chance. and will send in Marquard again
tomorrow, and sending Mathewson back
for the fifth game. But no matter what
he elects 10 do in the pitching line, he
appears to be up against it. There is
not the slightest reason for SuppoSing
that Marquard will be whit more eff
fective than he was Monday, when he
held the Athletics down to four hits, and
after Tuesdays game in New York. il il;

bound to even themselves up. But no
matter who McGraw may send to the
mound, il is good betting that the Ath-
letics will make more runs off him than
the Giants Will make off Bender. That is
the dope.
1t is the bulge that Manager Mack has
got on McGraw in the matter of pitching
talent that makes the Athletics chances
for the next two games look good
McGraw is practically depending upon
two men to carry him through to victory.

Manager Mack has worked three men,

There have been only two men spiked
Baker. One was Cobb, and We will not
