BILLY SUNDAY IS
FOR PREPAREDNESS
Noted Evangelist Gives His stand
On This Noted Cues
ton Of Today

The high note sounded most con.
sistently by "Billy" Sunday through.
out the week has been one OF national
preparedness. which he coupled with
an invariable plea for militant Christ
ianity. Having preached the gospel
of big guns. uperdreadnamghts. sub
marines and dilated upon the prowess
of Napoleon and other great generals
of the world at nearly every meeting,
Trenton was quite prepared for de-
claratiou by Mr. Sunday Saturday
that he would like to follow In the
footsteps of Roosevelt or Bryan by
becoming colonel of q regiment In
the event of this country getting tang
led up with any foreign power.
Mr. Sunday was trimming over
with military enthusiasm and war
spirit when he outlined the part he
would like to play in the event of war
God is a God Of war as we'll as or
peace" he declared. I'VE must fight
as we'll as pray. We must be mill
tant as we'll as persuasive, ! believe
in arbitration, but sometimes a strike
Is the only way to settle difficulties.
''If 1t hadn't been for war, we would
be singing God Save the King" In
stead of MY Country. 'Tis of Thee"
II 1t hadn't been for the war the
boodhounds would be chasing the
negroes through the swamps and
canebreaks today. II 1t hadn't been
for war, Spain would still be tearing
at the heart of Cuba. RI II hadn't
been for war, the flag of Mexico
would be waving over Teas. New
Mexico, Nevada and California.
Preparedness? Yes, I believe In
that, too. ! believe in battlaships
and submarines, and IL any of the
nations across the sea should care
to find out whether the Americacn
people believe In the Monroe Doc
trine, let them start something. RI
they do. would like to be the colonel
OF regiment"
Billy had AM audience of barely
1000 at the Saturday afternoon ser.
vice when he preached on Cleansing
the Temple" He said he had known
boys to make a success in life, who
had an irreligious reprobate for a
father, but had never known of one
to succeed who had a goddess, card
playing mother.
"You can put library ON every
corner and let every church member
be college graduate, and that will
never save you from hell" shouted
Mr.. Sunday. you need the old time
religion. You don't need more cult
ure or money, but foodtide OF re.
demption."
do you suppose God wants to
look through eyes red with dssi-
patton of the night, spent in
bauchery? Do you suppose God
wants to work with hands that ars
lifting a beer glass one moment, and
a deck OF cards or q novel the next,
DO yoaI suppose God wants to use
feet that can walk into booze joint
or house Of Ill fame one night and
into church on Sunday?
'TThe holy Spirit will not live a.
mong lot of fimberger cheese It
will not swim in tobacco Juice up to
Its eyes. You have right to keep
your body clean.
"If God would convert all the |
preachers until they would stop fight

DRIVE BY BLAcKLIsTED FIRMS
Congress Hears from Association to Re-

New York, July 27.-Copies OF resolu-
lions calling upon the United States gov
eminent to take prompt measures to
bring about the recall OF commercial re-
strictions placed upon American citizens
by Great Britain We're sent yesterday to
members of the Senate and House of
Representatives and the governors of all
the states. The resolutions were adopt
ed by the Association to Resist British
Dominion of American Commerce, com
posed OF 80 or more representatives of
firms and individuals who have been
placed on the British trade blacklist.
Maurice B. Blumenthal, counsel for the
association, left for Washington late
Tuesday night carrying a copy of the
protest, which he hoped to hand to Pres
ident Wilson yesterday.
The preamble to the resolutions saws
that the measures adopted by Great
Britain are intended "to compel Amer.
lean aid in destroying the commerce of
her adversaries, regardless of conse-
quences to American trade or rights"
1t also declares that the facts upon
which the blaeklisting of American firms
was based were gained by unlawful
seizure, detention, and examination of
American mails" 1t is also stated that
it is manifest that Great Britain's trade
ships cannot be accorded the hospitality
OF American ports or negotiate CONNER
cal affairs with any American citizen or
firm on these shores "or elsewhere" so
long as other citizens are restricted in
their rights of trade

BIG DECLINE IN
FOOD PRODUCTS
Peach Crop 100000 Bushels Less Than
in lof5-Decline in
Apples

Washington, July 27.-The 1916 fruit
crop will be below that of 1915 in prac.
tically every class, il was predicted by
the United States bureau OF crop esti-
mates yesterday.
Especially marked will be the decline
in the peach crop, if present indications
hold good In this line, the output, it
is estimated, will fall off II ,000, 900 bush
els for the year; the government ex-
perts placing the probable figures at AZ
1913 900 bushels.
The national yield in apples, the fore
most fruit crop, will decline, says the
from total OF 766700o0
barrels in the 1915 season to 1881 900
for the present season.
Little loss is expected in the pear
crop, the estimate being l0.703,000 bush
els, loss of 100000 bushels.
The grape outlook is disappointing,
a drop of about 100000 bushels from
last years crop of S5,400,000 bushels be-
ing anticipated.

CHANGING DEFEAT
TO EASY VICTORY
Score in League Game at
Intercity Park Was
6 to 4

With the score 4 to 3 in Montpelier
favor, Joe Comolli came TO bat with TIVE
men on bases in the eighth inning Of
yesterdays game at Intercity park anC
drove one OF Canales shoots far over IN,
outfelders' heads and when the bal
landed it struck the mud far across the
river back OF left center, Comolli gal
Looping around and making the sixth tally
OF the game, which proved TO be the
final run, the score finally standing o 70
4 in Barrels favor.
Tommy Davidson seemed to be a little
off form and at times the Montpelier
team connected hard and often, but with
the breaks coming his way Davidson
pulled out OF the tight places in good
style and, aided by the mighty swat by
Comolli, he proved himself to be a win
ner. Cannles outpitehed Davidson and
with proper support and the breaks of
the game should have won.
Montpelier started the scoring in the
first inning when Bartlett drove Da.
wilson shoot into center for two bases
and was followed by a daisy cutter off
Murch's bat through short which was too
hot for j. Davidson to handle, Bartlett
running home on the hit. Russell fol-
lowed with another single, putting
Murch on second; Butler came along
with the fourth straight hit OF the in
ming and drove Murch to third Murch
scoring a minute later on an infeld err
ror.
This ended the scoring for this frame,
but the Italians came back with a ven
geance in the second and tied the score.
Gaco, the first man up, drew a pass; Ora
mai reached first on an error by Russell,
both moving along a notch on Tomasi's
sacrifice and scoring on Russelrs second
error of the inning when he dropped Da
Wilson's pop fly in short right field.
The scoring ended here until the Ital-
ians half of the fifth inning, when
Brown raped out a single TO right went
to second on Davidson's sacrifice hit and
took third on Stuart's infeld out, scor-
ing when Lavoe singled to center, La
vote being caught trying to stretch his
hit into double.
In the Montpelier half of the fifth,
Bresnahan reached first on Stuart's error
Of Layoie's throw, went to third on
Bartlett's second two-base drive and
scored on Murch's safe hit back of second
base, Bartlett taking third on the play,
md scoring when Butler singled to cen
.er
This finished Montpelier's run getting,

COST OF GROWING BEEF CATTLE.
The Business Adds to Farm Income in
Corn Belt.

That cattle in meost cases add 20 the
farm income in the corn belt is indicated
by the results OF a recent investigation
conducted by the United States depart
ment of agriculture as part Of COM
prehensive study of the meat situation
in which its specialists have been en-.
gagged for some time. The direct profit
from the raising OF calves in this sec
ton, the averages seem to establish, is
usually small but the investigators point
out that there are other factors which
make the practice more advantageous
than would appear at first sight.
Among these advantages are the fact
that livestock on the farm provide a
home market and a means of utiliza-
tion of farm roughage, some of which
might be wasted if not fed, and the use
of pastures which could not be employed
proftably in any other way. Livestock
also afford ready home market for GER
tain other crops, which at times would
have to be hauled considerable distances
TO be sold. Finally the presence of live
stock on the farm gives productive EN-
ployment through the year to labor
which at certain seasons might other
wise be idle. Livestock also gives some
interest on capital invested on equip.
ment which would produce nothing if
not utilized at all seasons. The fertility
ing value of manure also must be consid-
cred. When these factors are taken into
consideration, even though there appears
to be little or no profit as shown by
cost figures, it is believed that in most
instances the farm income is greater be-
cause of cattle having been kept on the
farm. The keeping of livestock, there
fore, is to be recommended on farms
having large quantities of cheap rough
age available or having land which can
be best utilized as pasture.
Summary of Results.
The figures of costs cited by the in.
vestigators are purely averages based on
actual farms and herds investigated. The |
obtained in 1914 and 1915, |
$50 records from farms in Indiana, Iii. |
nois, Minnesota. Iowa, Missouri, South |
Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. These |
records dealt with 1864 cows, 62l bulls |
and 1851 calves produced from them. |
Of which 2,023 were elassed as baby |
beef
These were arranged in six groups
based on six distinct practices followed /
by the farmers OF this region. These
are:
/. Beef-Farms where all the cows are
Kept strictly for beef Except baby beef
m which there is no sale OF milk and but
Ter.
p Baby Beef-Farms devoted to the
production of high grade calves fattencd

3. Dual Purpose-Farms on which all

veaned at birth and raised on skim
milk.
l. Mixed-Farms where the best cows

Tomasi made a nice three base wallop
in the same inning that Comolli made
his long drive but was not credited with
