NATIONS CORN CROP IS slim
BUT AT THAT is WORTH MORE
THAN ANY OTHER CROP.
Department Figures Its Value at
81, 1853 Half a Billion
Bushels Below Last Year.

WASHINGTON.-This years corn
crop promises to be the most yalua-
BILE this or any other nation ever has
produced, although the department
of agricultures preliminary estimate
of production, issued today, indicates
it will be more than 100000, 600
bushels less than the record crop of
last year and,the smallest since 1903
Based upon the departments figures
of 707 cents per bushel, the average
farm value on November /, the. crop
as now estimated, is worth $1,741,-
353.O19. while the value of the 1912
record crop was $3.50, asa. 1000. The
previous most valuable crop was that
of 1909, when it was worth $1,652,-

Damage From DPOuth.
+ The departments preliminary esti-
mate of production today increased
by 10000, 900 bushels the estimate
made in October, and also that made

BULGARIA FORCED
TO SIGN PEACE
AGREEMENT
Other Balkan States Joined
Forces Against Little Nation
NEW FRONTIER ESTABLISHED
Bulgars Protested But Were Brought
Into Line BY Threats from
Rumania

London. Aug. Peace was conclud
ed at Bucharest last night between
the Balkan states and the prelimin-
airy treaty will be signed today by the
delegates of Servia, Greece, Montene-
gro, Rumania, and Bulgaria. The
agreement was arrived at only after
another exhibition of the utter help
lessness of Bulgaria to face her ring
of enemies The discussions in the
peace conference last week threaten
ed to become intermiable, but Nj. Ma
ioresca, the Rumanian premier and
president of the conference, clinched
matters by threatening that unless
Bulgaria accepted the modified front
Ter proposed by the allies, Rumania' S
army would occupy Sofia Saturday.
This threat had the desired effect and
an agreement was arrived at yester-
day. after numerous private consulta-
tons between the delegates and a
four-hours' sitting of the conference.
The new frontier as agreed to
starts at a point on the old frontier
west of the Struma river, follows the
watershed to west of the town of
Strumnitza, thence runs almost
through the Struma valley to the Be-
lesh mountains and thence easterly
in almost straight line to the Mes
ia river. thus leaving the town of
Strumnitza, the port of Lagos and
Kanthi to Bulgaria and the port of
Kavala to Greece. The new frontier
is deep disappointment to the Bull
gsrians who still nurse hopes for IN.
eventual revision by the powers.
II is believed that an agreement for
the rehabilitation of the various arm
les will be signed today The news
that peace had been arranged caused
great rejoicings in Bucharest.
The war between the former Bal
kan allies, who had fought shoulder
TO shoulder against Turkey. began on
July l. when the Servian minister Of
the interior declared that Servia was
at war with Bulgaria; on the same
day Greece also announced that a
state of war existed, but did not make
a formal declaration Rumania declar-
ed war on July 10 and moyed her
troops over the Bulgarian frontier TO
occupy the strip of territory from
Silistria, on the Danube, to Varna, on
the Black sea, which she claimed in
order to re-establish the balance of
power in the Balkans.
The trouble between the allies
arose over the division of the terri
tory captured by them from Turkey
in Europe Severe fighting occurred
in which many thousands of me-.
were killed or wounded and pillage
4 IA.
ed by the various armies. The Mon
tenegrin troops never came into ac-
ton during the period Of hostilities,
although they also were nominally at
war with Bulgaria.
A dispatch from Sofia says that
there is no foundation for the reports
published abroad of the arrest of DR.
S. Daneff. former Bulgarian premier,
at the instance of the Bulgarian gov
eminent.

TWO GAMES At PLAYGROUND
All-Stars and HuckIeberry Juniors
the Winners Wednesday Afternoon

There were two more games in the
Recreation league played Wednesday
afternoon at the Playground. The
first was between the All-Stars and
North Bennington, the All-Stars win
ming by a score of 6 to 5. In the sec
Ond game the Huckleberry Juniors
defeated North Bennington in five
inning game by score of to 2.
Both games were very well played in
spite of the weather conditions, which
made the ball wet and hard to handle
In the game between North Benning
tion and the AllStars, both teams
made eight hits, but the hits of the
AllStars were punched in the fifth
inning and four of the six runs were
made. IN" the first inning, four hits
we're made off Mcclure, who pitched
the first inning for the All-SJars and
Two runs were made. With two men
on bases. Mcclure struck out two men
and closed the inning. In the second
inning. Purcell began pitching and al
lowed North Bennington only four
hits during the remainder of the
game. One of the features of the
game was one-handed catch of
line drive by Mcclure in the second
inning The ball was hit by the North
Bennington catcher and looked good
for two bases but Mcclure pulled it
down after a hard run and jump. The
score.

LEAGUE BALL TOMORROW
Bennington viii Play off Tie Game
With North Adams.

The Bennington and North Adams
Northern Tri-State league teams
will play at Morgan park at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. This game is
to take the place in the schedule OF
the recent game at Fowler park
which went II innings and ended in
a tie score. 1t is probable that Con-
nelly will pitch for Bennington and
that Harrington, the little left
handler, will be in the box for the
Tunnel City.
For Saturdays game Manager
Morrissey has secured the Brother
hood team of Wateryliet, N. Y. The
team has been playing good bali
during the season and comes well
recommended.
The Fowler park game will be
with the North Adams team. The
Tunnel City outfit is at present
leading Bennington by fairly good
margin in the race for the champ
ionship but if Bennington can win
both the Morgan park and the Fow-
Ter park games the Vermonters will
be in the running.
Manager Morrissey has an oppor-
tunity to book the Troy team of the
New York state league at Fowler
park on August II and it is more
than probable that the game will be
arranged

MOTHER OF
Diffraction Grating Causes Its 5eauti-
full lridescence.

The apparent color of mother-of-
pearl was for long time somewhat
of puzzle to scientists. Later it was
found that the surface of mother-of-
pearl consisted of fine situations or
ridges, with, Of course, little hollows
between. This explained everything,
for it was then To- the scientists moth
ing more or less than an ordinary diff
fraction grating. To prove 1t still fur
Their an impression of the surface was
taken in black wax, and the wax It
self exhibited the beautiful display Of
color shown in the original mother-of-
pearl surface. The color is not due to
pigment, but TO the cancellation in part
Of the light falling on the surface.
TO understand this better it will be
well TO explain n diffraction grating.
1t consists of piece OF plate glass
upon which are engraved many paral-
lei lines. Rowland has been able TO
scratch lines on glass so that there
are 10000 TO the inch and the distances
from one to the other do not vary by
one-millionth of that distance in the
10000.
As white light, or sunlight, consists
of every color known and as light

light is coming from several different
directions very close to one another

II can be easily seen what is meant
by opposing phases from a considera-

Agent Vermont Humane Society,
Bennington. VT.
My dear Friend:
am sorry you are in the midst of
a dog muzZling period. Personally
have no doubt the scare is practically
needless, for in all my experience
have yet seen a genuinely mad dog.
However. we have had the same thing
to go through with here in Massachu-
\setts several times. and | have had to
experiment with my own dogs in the
matter of muzzles.
From my own experience and from
that of our agents. do not hesitate
to suggest the leather muzzle such as
is described in the rude drawing am
sending. This seems TO worry the dog
least Ii permits him to open his
mouth enough to drink, if it is proper
ly adjusted a dog can't fight unless
he can get his mouth open wide
enough to get a grip of something. If
the muzzle is adjusted so that he can
open his mouth. say "a of an inch he
won't be able to do any harm. The
wire muzzle | never could use. for ii
seemed to make the dog nervous. and
he had no peace until he had torn 1t
off
