CANADIAN HARVESTS

Last year Canada s soil production
was the greatest in the history of tho
country. This year the crops will not
be so large. In Ontario aud Quebec
they will probably fall below the av.
erage. In the prairie and maritime
provisions they will from present indi-
cations, be good. If, ON the whole,
the harvest yield shall fall consider
ably short of last years, its value, ow-
ing to higher range of prices, s
likely to be greater One crop OF im-
mense Importance to Canada, in view
OF its relation to the empire and to
imperial interests at this time, is hay.
The yield in this particular will, per
naps, exceed that of any previous year.
So abundantly have the grasses grown
in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
that observant travellers through those
provinces recently have marveled o,er
the opportunities they afford for stock
raising. Everywhere, on countryside
and roadside, clover, timothy and har-
garian have carpeted the land. The
early rains and dry weather later have
made il possible TO grow and to harvest
record hay crops throughout all easte.l

"The Censor Is Not
The Damn Fool You
Take Him to Be"
By Hal o'Flaherty,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Aug. l.-(By MaiD-"The
censor is not the damn fool you take
him to be-"
The above line was penned by a
officer at the front to his wife, in
which an ingenious code was discov-
cred. 1t meant to disclose to the anx-
ious wife Just where her husband was
fighting, but it was spoiled by the
censor and an order was issued by the
war office prohibiting such practices.
Before the officer who wrote the
code letter, left for the front, he Sc
cured two maps showing the entire
British fighting line. The maps were
identical. One he left with his wife
and the other he took with him.
Thereafter, each time he wrote let
ter, he placed the stationery on his
map, stuck pin through it directly
over Paris, another directly over Brus-
sells, and third at the point where he
was stationed. Upon receiving the
letter, his wife would superimpose it
on her map, adjusting the extreme pin
holes over Paris and Brussels, and her
husbands whereabouts would be indi-
Gated by the middle hole.
This is but one of a score of codes
and secret signals discovered by the
censors recently. England does not
censure the relatives of men at the
front for wanting to know the locality
in which they are fighting and perhaps
dying, but such disclosures became a
menace. No one knows how extensive
Germany's espionage system may be,
and England is taking no chances.
Another code system used by Ger
tain officer was more elaborate than
the one pointed out by the censor, with
his "damm fool" notation. 1t was ar
ranged by the officer with his wife,
Just before he sailed for France, and
consisted of two charts of the battle
line, one of which he retained while the
wife kept the other. Each map was
laid out in blocks an inch square; each
square could be identified by c0mbina-
tions of letters indicating each line of
squares from left to right. Down the
left hand side was another row of let
ters.
In writing home, the officer would
say: "Give my regards to l.. A,
Smith" Being fictitious name, the
wife would know it as key to her
secret code. Putting her finger on the
"A' line of the squares OH her chart,
she would follow along under the 81 -
squares, in which was her husband g
positions at the front.
It is improbable that any informa-
ton contained in these code letters has
ever reached the Germans, but there is
possibility Of such mischance and
England is losing no opportunity TO de-
feat IA spy system that has made Eng
lishmen gasp.

at least 40 infield taps into hits.
Anson was slugger of the long
distance type so rare in baseball. Old
Cap used to aim his drives for spot
beyond the fence and where the ball
didn't clear it the chances were it
would slam up against the wall for
an extra base or two. Speed never was

laced the ball to the far carners of the

Wagner, however, was different than

Daring Drivers Ready
For Great Speed Event

Speedway Park, haywood, ILL.,, Aug.
l9.-Daring drivers in speedy mounts,
having qualification record of bet
ter than 100 miles an hour in trial spins
lined up at the tape on the mile wood
oval here this afternoon and waited
for the official signal to dasn away on
the Speedway Grand Plix Cup race of
six laps, for $4,000 in prizes.
The Grand Prix takes the place of
the Elgin road race which for many
years was one of the big sporting ev-
ents in automobile circles.
Copying after the running of horse
races, the event here today is divided
into six Cheats. Five heats of twen-
ty miles each are to be run, the win
'ner of each heat qualifying as an en-
trant in the final 30 mile prize award
ing event. 1t was a process of elimi-
nation, those winning in the first five
heats being the entrants in the final
spin.
Because of the way the race was to
be run, fans predicted that records for
the distances would be smashed. Keen
rivalry between drivers entered added
to the genaral interest of the big
crowd that assembled here early. The
race is being staged under the rules Of
the American Automobile association.

Lajoie, on the other hand, was a
slugger, but oddly enough, not of the
long distance type. With perfect
judgment eye and mighty pair of
shoulders, he was able to drive the
ball through the infield so fast and
so hard that none of the players cared
to chance broken hand in trying to
intercept it. Lajoie never tried to
break the fences. His hitting, in the
main, was the rifle-bullet shot, through

Cobb combines speed with great bat

THE TARIFF
A PARAMOUNT ISSUE

The results of the primary election
in Michigan and in Wisconsin have ex-
cited no little comment among politi-
clans. In the former state, Mr.. Ford's
large support is shown eonclusively to
have come in large measure from the
city of Detroit where his own EN-
ployes are numbered by tens of thous-
ands; and the consequent result upon
the vote of the state, where only a
hstless interest was manifest, is looked
upon as merely in the light of a per-
sonal tribute to Mr.. Ford.
In Wisconsin, however, a far differ
ent Interpretation is put upon the fail
ure of Senator LaFollette to secure the
full endorsement of Badger Republi-
cans for his presidential aspirations.
Not q few are asking if it means that
the Senator has finally lost his grip at
home. LaFollette s career in Wiscon-
sin has been one of steady manifesto
tlon of power. From the days of his
first attempt to secure the governors
ship, down through his stirring activi-
ties as an executive and later as Sen
ator and the leader of his party and as
the dominant power in the state, he
has never failed to demonstrate his
control. 1t is remembered, of course,
that he was unsuccessful in his purpose
to defeat Governor McGovern in the
senatorial primaries of 1914 when the
issue was drawn between the governor
and al adherent Of LaFollette-but it
is also recalled that a LaFollette man,
! inning on nomination papers, brought
a out McGovern's downfall at the
polls and gave one of the three add
t'Vnal senators with whom the Demo
c. ats have swollen their majority in
t Q upper house. But, taken by and
l. 'ge, LaFollette has Of right consid.
{ ID himself invineible at home.
This primary, however, has afforded
IL first opportunity to make a direct
tgst of his standing with his constitn-
eats since he gave the only Republican
vote for the passage Of the Underwood
tariff bill in the Senate. Wisconsin has
felt the effects of Underwoodism, in
common with other states-and it is
believed that LaFollette's failure to
carry more than a bare majority in
his state this spring is in more or less
direct consequence Of his cooperation
with the Democrats in striking down
protection in the Senate. If this con
elusion is correct, it emphasizes to an
unusual degree the extent to which
protection is lodge in the minds Of the
voters as a cardinal issue in this year 3

CHICAGO JUDGE SETTLES
BACoNIAN CONTROVERSY

One day last week a Chicago Judg'
solemnly decreed from his bench tina
Francis Bacon was the author o.
Shakespeare works.
Were Ignatius Donnelly alive, h'
would doubtless feel highly elated a
finding an ally in the Chicago jurist
This gifted author spent several of the
best years of his life in evolving a CT
pher which he claimed run through
Shakespeare's works and proved con
c~lusively that they were written by
Bacon. At the conclusion of the work,
Donnelly visited England, and while
he was royalty entertained and shown
the greatest respect for his scholarly
attainments, he found few %sympathiz-
ers.
Upon his return, in about 1883, the
book was placed on the market, but
met with a very limited sale, from the
fact that the masses of the people were
not interested in the subject.
OF the merits of the cipher, the
writer is unable to judge. However,
the Pioneer Press, of ST. Paul, disposed
of the subject in a very few words.
While its editor, the hate Joseph Wheel
oek, found much to admire in Don
nelly, the two were poor friends. Don
nelly's claim was that a certain cipher
that run uniformly through the differ
emf works, was obtained by taking the
first letter of a certain word, number
ed from the first in the line, and TAX
ing lines counted by the same number.
For instance, if the word was the third
in the line, the first letter of the third
word in every third line would be
taken. Donnelly's contention was that
by applying this cipher to one of
Shakespeare's most popular plays, the
result was, "This play was written by
Francis Bacon" Editor Wheeloek ap-
piled the same cipher to another play
and obtained the astonishing declara-
tion, "Donnelly, you re an old suck
err
Donnelly (who was Familiarity
known as "Pugnacious') Immediately
brought suit against the Pioneer Press
for $4,000 damages, and after a long
and hard fought legal battle, was
awarded one cent. AS this carried the
costs of the suit, the Pioneer Press
found it rather an expensive joke. In
addition to the heavy court costs, the
newspaper lawyers charged a fee of
$4,000, which they collected by suit.
