CAREER OF GLEN WARNER.
Man Who VIII Coach Pittsburg One
VI of Country's Best Leaders.

Interesting facts concerning the
football career of Glen Warner, the
Carlisle Indian coach, who has signed
to direct the destinies of the Uni
Tersity of Pittsburg team, beginning
next season, have been brought to
hight. Twenty-Five years experience.
both actively and in deep stndy of
football methods, have given him the
distinction of being one of the coun-
try's best leaders.
Warner has the knack of teaching
football to raw recruits that perhaps
no other coach in the country pos
sesses, this being brought out prom
Inently by his work at Carlisle. where
he was compelled to develop a foot
ball team capable of meeting the best
trained teams in the country ont of
a squad of Indians, the ma ioritv Of
whom have never seen football until
they went to the government school.
It was he who first saw the possibili
tes OF an open game, and developed
that style of play for the Indian team
until 1t was the terror of all the big
colleges of the land. Warner S success
with this style of play caused other
coaches to follow after him.
tic Is keen student of human ma
ture, and while he rules over the squad
with an iron hand, he does so in such
"a manner that the PLAYERS become de-
voted to him. He does not forget that
he IS dealing with human beings. lie
deals with them as gentlemen. and
when he finds that such treatment
does not get results, he quickly shoots
them into the discard.

German Fleet Sought No Decisive
Marine Battle With English
Dreadnouehts.

Cincinnati, O.-Delay In receipt CT
news of naval fighting of any scope in
connection with the European war is
because the German fleet has not
sought the English fleets in the north,
and is waiting for a psychological mo-
ment to attempt general engagement
on the waters, according to the first
statement Of Imperial Consul Oscar
Merger concerning the German navy.
Seeming inaction of the German fleet
is not as enormously considered by
most war readers to be because of the
"bottling up, process at the hands of
the English fleets, according to I'm
perial Consul Oscar Merger.
The German fleet has sought no de-
cisive marine battle with the English
dreadnoughts because of the intensity
of the land engagements which at
present requires the fighting strength
of Germany on the French and Rus
sian frontiers, and makes it imprac-
teal to throw any force to the defense
of the. northern coast on the North
and Baltic seas. Instead of depriving
the land forces of a part of their
strength for coast defenses, while the
German feet goes in search of the
English feet, Germany has constituted
her fleet as the northern coast defense,
Mr.. Merger states.

WAR WILL END IN a MONTH.

New York.-Dr. Karl G. Bertling,
assistant director of the American In
stitute in Berlin, does not think Amer
lean students in Berlin need break
their studies because of the war He
believes the war will be ended next
month, and Germany will reap the vic
tory first of war and then successes
from mediation. Dr. Bertling has just
come from Berlin. my reason for
saying the war will be ended next
month" said DR.. -Bertling at the Har-
ward club, is that there is no war
spirit against France in Germany The
German people realize that Russia
forced France into the conflict; and
that lack of intellectual grasps got
England into it. England cannot af-
ford to allow France to be again hui
inflated, and will find some way out
of the trouble before Germany reaches
Paris. England has made her mistake
in failing to respect Germany's his
toric superiority on land, while Ger
many has conceded England's historic
superiority on the sea. England will
be forced to recede from that position
before many weeks"

SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Ideal Day for Task Is Quiet. Bright
One, When the Air Is Dry and
Cooi-Study Formulas.

(By G. M. BENTLEY. Tennessee Expert
ment Station.)
Before spraying it is best to prune
trees intelligently, to economic in the
surface to be covered by the spray.
also to rid the tree of perhaps its
worst affected limbs. Burn parts re-
moved. Prune out the dead wood, the
undesirable water sprouts and suck
ers Keep the trees from becoming
bushy. Do not spray right after a
rain while the limbs are still wet-try
not to spray just preceding a rain.
The spray should thoroughly dry on
the limbs, thus giving it the best
chance to adhere. An ideal spray
day is quiet, bright one, when the
air is dry and cool. Study the for
mulas of sprays and the different
makes of pumps and nozzles and use
only the best fitted for your condi-
tions, realizing that there is a proper
time to spray and the best results
are obtained only at such time Spray
thoroughly. l doubt if one-tenth OF
the people who spray do so correctly.

thorough work by covering not only

ORDERS QUARANTINE
CATTLE IN SEVERAL COUNTIES OF
ILLINOIS WILL BE, EFFECTED
BY THE ORDER.
BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS CAUSE
Secretary Of Agriculture Houston
Takes Action to Prevent Spread Of
DJsesse-Lake, McHenry, kane, Du-
page and Cook Counties Named.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Secretary
of Agriculture Houston ordered a
quarantine, effective October l.
against cattle In Lake, McHenry,
Kane, Dupage and Cook counties, ILL
nois. This action was taken to pre-
vent the spread of bovine tuberculosis,
which Is said to exist among the cat
tie in these counties.
Under this quarantine, no cattle can
lie shipped from these counties for
dairy or breeding purposes unless &C.
companied by a certificate showing
they have been subjected to the tuber-
culin test and found free from disease.
These certificates must be issued by
an employee of the bureau Of animal in
dustry, department of agriculture.
THE necessity for this quarantine.
which has been recognized by the
state authorities. arises from the mis-
use on the part of limited number Of
cattle owners and shippers of the
privilege OF inspection by private vet
erinarians,' the department states.
In some cases it has been found that
health certificates have been issued
for cattle which were obviously dis
eased. AS a result IL states now re-
fuse to accept Illinois cattle unless ae-
companied by a certificate of federal
inspection. In order therefore to pro-
tect the live stock in Illinois and
neighboring states from the danger of
tuberculosis infection it has been
found advisable to do away altogether
with private inspection and to place
in the hands of the department of ag-
riculture the regulation of the entire
interstate movement of cattle from
the quarantined area, and in the hands
of the state board of live stock COM
missioners the regulation of the move
ment of cattle from the quarantined
area to other parts of the state. With
rigid federal inspection healthy Illinois
cattle will be freed from any suspicion
cast upon them by the practices of the
small percentage of cattlemen who
have misused the privilege of private
Inspection in the past"
The secretary also amended the reg
ulations governing the interstate ship
ment of cattle to cover the quarantine.
Under these regulations cattle may be
moved from the guaranteed area un-
der permits for feeding or grazing pur-
poses. Cattle intended for immediate
slaughter also may be shipped, pro-
vided the cars containing them are
properly placarded so as to prevent
the animals from being diverted TO
other purposes. The meat of such cat
tie is of course subjected to examina-
ton by United States meat inspectors.
The department states the governor
and sanitary officials of Illinois will CO.
operate with the federal authorities In
making the quarantine effective.

Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 2S.-Hun-

from Germany penniless. Many of
the refugees report that they have
been robbed of important documents

liable state.
The situation is particularly bad at

refugees were among the 81 first cabin,
1873 second cabin and $50 steerage pas
sengers that were brought to this port
by the Italian steamer Taormina which
sailed from Italian ports.
The steerage was well crowded with
Americans who booked that grade Of
passage when nothing else was avail
able rather than stay longer in Europe.
The officers of the boats permitted the
American steerage passengers prac-
tically the same privileges as those
who were booked in the cabins.
The Taormina was halted August

METHOD OF GROWING GRAPES
Vines VIII Bear Fruit No Matter How
Much Misused-Grower Usually
Leaves Too Much Wood.

Grapes are easily grown. The vines
will bear fruit no matter how you use
or misuse them, or whether you .prune
much or little. The tendency, how
ever, is to set too much fruit, and for
the grower to leave too much wood for
fear of reducing the chances of a crop
more than necessary And when the
vine is overloaded so that anyone
might see and know that it cannot pos
efbIy bring all this fruit to perfection
and maturity. we often still hesitate to
remove q good lot of it before it has
Slapped much of the vines vitality.
Muster up courage and cut out the
surplus. A fair amount of good
grapes on a vine is better than an
overload Immature and sour grapes
in the fall are perhaps good for Jelly
making, but good for nothing else
Cut the vines closely Relieve the ex-
cessiye setting.

GOOD PRACTICE OF THINNING
of All Defective Fruit Crop Is
Made First Grade.

Whenever the crop on a tree is too
large for normal maturity, thinning
should always be given. Under such
conditions it increases the size OF the
fruit; avoids breakage; reduces drain
on both tree and soil by avoiding I'M
necessary seed production; and prob
ably increases quality by affording an
opportunity for normal development.
1t also doubtless tends to increase the
crop of the succeeding years, though
this has not yet been actually proved
experimentally. When needed, thin
ming should be done as soon as pos
sfble after the June drop is largely
over. In some localities. later thin
nfngs are also made as the demand
arises. with special attention given to
the removal of defective fruits, so that
the crop at picking time may be
practically all fret grade

This cage is divided into compart-
ments and it carries one man, whose
duty it is to throw down the bombs
The cage is sufficiently strong to make
rife fire against it ineffective and be-
cause of its small size and the fact
that it is kept constantly in motion It
is very difficult for heavy guns to
