suPERBAs SEAT PRICE O. K.
President Tener Says Brooklyn is Justi-
fed in Charging S..

The management Of the Brooklyn team
has been unjnstly criticized in the matter
of seat prices for the world series games,
as the prices were fixed by the national
commission, according to statement
made at New York yesterday by John X
Tener, president of the National league.
"The prices that have been announced
in Brooklyn were determined by the ma
tional commission at meeting held in
Cincinnati on the 18th to arrange a tenta-
tive schedule, Mr.. Tener said '.The com
mission allowed some latitude TO the
Brooklyn and Detroit clubs IN the matter
of s. seats because Of their limited grand
stand and box seat capacity and because
of the added fact that all seats listed al
S. in each park were as choice in location
as regular box reservations This consid
Grafton and allowance were also made in
other parks of the same character in pre-
vious world series games"

Getting Lost in the woods.

est. Johnsbury Caledonian.)
The experience OF Mr.. ana Mrs. Joe
Dcnnison of being lost in the woods OF
northern New Hampshire for five days
is sure to bring out q lot of advice
about travelling in the woods. The
Boston Transcript is one of the first to
give advice and it lays down some max
inns that all should be familiar with
They are:
Never 90 a rod into the woods without
matches, and when lost, 90 to the top
of hill, build a fire, and put upon it
evergreen branches which will cause it
to send up tall signal column of smoke.
, Train your eve and head in the sense
of direction, in the power of orienta,
tion; you can do it. Always carry the
best map you can get of the region Won
are III, and on your arrival at the place
you are going to visit, study it long
! and carefully from a hill top, so that
the lay of the land will be imprinted
on your brain. And finally, do not be
too confident of your specifically ac-
quired woodcraft; hook up to someone
who knows, when you 90 into the woods,
until the ridges and streams are A, b
G to you.
/ We would add that when you have
built your fire stay right by it. 1t is
much easier to find fire than a man
in the woods.
a. 1t is surprisingly easy to get lost
in the woods because no Zone can get
am idea of all the irregularitv of thu
surface by an outside view. One look
ing up a wooded mountain side viii

he starts for the top he win find an un
Expected number of tops and must keeI
his head we'll not to 90 down the wrong
side of ono of them. An expcricncec

and found his way out, is altogethe
the best assurance against getting los
in the woods.

Farm Horses Indispensable.

Today, when the tractor is coming
into favor as q source of farm power,
there are those wildeyed extremists
who would have us believe that the
horse is bound to be abolished from
the farm. This same propaganda was
preached at the time when steam pow
or replaced horse power for driving the
old-time threshers. As a result of this
recent awakening in favor of tractor
power, horse breeders have become
alarmed again at what seems to be a
direct blow at their business.
Horses have been the farmers help
ers and companions when the stress of
farm work was greatest. They have
been a part Of his big farm household
in which family ties really exist, and
it may be said that he has perhaps re-
scented, for this reason mainly, the idea
that he should go back on his friends
and replace them with a mechanical
substitute.
With all our automobiles and trac-
tors, no sane man should make the
claim that there is no need of horses
on the farm. There is a great amount
of work which the horse can do well.
For instance, in cultivating growing
crops, like corn, where the work IS
light and where the natural instinct of
the horse can be trained to follow the
row and allow the farmer to attend
strictly to the job of getting rid OF
weeds, no tractor of the present stage
of development can be said to be IN
competition with the horse. For the
small garden or truck patch the horse
viii always have first call.

JAPANESE SCOUTS WAR.
Time to Drop Talk of Clash with Us,
Saws G.. KaSai.

G.. Kasai, the japanese writer, who is
the author of the widely discussed
book, 1.-THE Mastery of the Pacific, =
discusses in the latest issue of the Jap
an Magazine of Toxic the relations of
Japan and the United States. He de-
clarcs that such \ thing as a war be-
tween Japan and this country is an I'M
thinkable thing, and that the time is
at hand when the people of the two
countries should refuse to pay any at
tcntion ''to the rawlings of the lingo
press. -
cit is evident says Mr.. Kasai,
"that certain persons and their fol
lowers in the United States are at pres
Ient doing all they can to create fear
land suspicion Of Japan. Notwithstand-
ling that Japan has never acted i'll any
aggressive or belligerent manner to
give ground for such surmises, these
detractors of Japan keep up their cam
paign. Although our relations with the
United States during the last ten years
have. not been wholly satisfactory, we
have nevertheless remained friendly
toward the American people. Our atti-
tudc has always been conciliatory and
sincerely peaceful. In regard to the Cal
ifornia question, Japan has amicably
endeavored to meet America more than
half way, and she still trusts to the
wisdom, reason, and sense of justice
characteristic of the American people
to see that justice is done toward Jap
cncse subjects in the United States.
Although, so far as Japan is con-
eerncd, the immigration question is at
rest, certain american politicians are
still busy with immigration bills at
/ Washington, aimed chiefly at stil fur
! therfcxelusion Of japanese subjects
JAPAN has faithfully adhered to the
gentleman s agreement entered into in
1907, limiting the migration of Jap
anese nationals TO the United States
During the last seven years the number
Of Japanese returning from the United
states has greatly exceeded the number
going to that country, and the japanese
/ population of America has in that time
decreased by 4,40s. Yet the politicians
! arc still trying to impose a Chinese
exclusion bill on the japanese, while
JaHan 5 only desire is that her subjects
in America shall receive the fair and
equal treatment accorded all Other
aliens.

a Now Hot Weather Drink.

One does not need to be a 2rohibi-
zionist to realize that alcohol does not
make for either efficiency or comfort in
hot weather. We are 50 welded to ice
water that they are apt to drink too
much of this if it is taken plain. Fla
vored in some way, less fluid seems
more thirst quenching. A very old
fashioned drink which can be made at
home and costs but very little is called
Switched. To make this take a good
sized enameled ware pitcher or pan
and put in it a half cup of black mo-
lasses to two cups of water. Stir
briskly until the molasses is entirely
dissolved in the water. Molasses, odd
ly enough, discolors most of the metal
lie kitchen wares, but it has no effect
upon the hard, impervious surface of
cnameled ware. Add tablespoonful
of powdered ginger to pint of the
mixture. If not in an immediate hur.
nv it is better to make this with hot
water AID set away to cool. This is g
particularly wholesome drink fol
young and delicate children.

The idea of COWS wearing speetaeies
seems ridiculous. Nevertheless there
are cows that do wear speetaeles, and
they may be seen on the plains or

with snow more than six months of
the year. The cows subsist on the tufts
of grass which crop above the snow,
and the rays of the sun on the snow
are so dazzling as to cause blindness.
