sity.

New York, Sept. 30.-Benny Kauff,
ex-Federal league star, and Walter
Holke, just up from the minors, ap-
pear to be in their present form
Just what is needed to make the New
York Giants a pennant winning team
in 1917. Had the Giants reached the
form they are now enjoying a month
ago they would be fighting it out with
the Dodgers, Bostons and Phillies
for the bunting that goes to the win
ner of the present campaign. But
they arrived too late. Now all the
New York Nationals can do is 60 on
their way, winning as many games as
possible and planning for the future
Kauff, a disappointment early in
the season, through his desire to kill
every ball that was pitched to him,
has at last listened to the counsel

and is batting properly. He is now
willing to wait 'em out a bit and in
stead OF putting everything he has

scientifically. He times the ball nice
ly and meets it as it should be met
to get the greatest results. As a
consequence he is hitting them out
far and every once in a while getting
homer, than which Benny likes
nothing better.
The improvement in the ex-Federal
is one of the big things McGraw
banks on for the success Of his team
in the year to come.
Holke is another bright prospect

Des Moines, Aug. 9.-Canada'a trade
balance has increased since the war
proportionately as much as has that of
the United States. 1t is two or three
times when it was before the beginning
of the war. Canada is on the best
financial footing she has ever known.
These facts were stated by George
H. Funk, Of Winnipeg, brother OF In

Des Moines, who is here on visit. Mr..
Funk left Iowa some fifteen years ago,
having formerly lived at Spirit Lake.
He has since made Winnipeg his home.

wheat crop last year and received o"
an average 81 per bushel for it. Can
ada's wheat crop last year was estl-
mated to be worth $250,000,00O 1t is
estimated that the crop this year will
be worth practically as much, for
while it may not be quite as big yield
it will no doubt be somewhat higher
in price.
II think the yield in wheat will be
around twenty five bushel" per acre.
Last year it was about that Some
Yields as high as fifty bushels have
been reported.
Right now there is a million dol
lars worth of wheat passing thru Can
ada every day. This is last years crop
of course. Last fall and winter there
was much mere than this. But OF the
