THE CASE AGAINST RATS AND
MICE.

Rats and mice are among the worst
animal pests in the world, according
to biologists of the U. S. department
of agriculture, who asks the news
papers to spread the facts in two ed
itorial articles, of which this is the
first: ,
From their home among the filth
they visit dwellings and storerooms to
pollute and destroy human food. The
rat carries bubonic plague and many
other diseases fatal to man and has
no doubt been responsible for more
untimely deaths among human beings
than all wars of history. In the
United States rats and mice destroy
each year in homes, in factories!

on ships, crops, poultry and other

PRUSSIAN PEACE.

Do not entertain any decisions with
reference to the Prussian people talk
ing peace. Only believe this story
when it comes from the poor people
of Germany. The Prussian idea of
Hamburg to Bagdad" was world
grabbing scheme, and any peace talk
from Prussians has stilletto in it.
Give them peace now, while they
have Serbia crushed, Montenegro
overrun, Roumania conquered, Turkey
and Bulgaria as their vassals, and
Austria Hungary bound hand and foot
we say, give them peace now, with
Poland in her power, with Russia tot,
tering and Italy fighting for her very
existence, and with Belgium in their
possession, and you will simply be
opening the way to their domination
of Asia little later, and finally Ger
many would lead her legions to the
valleys of the Indies.

BARLEY IN BREAD MAKING.

Experiments at the North Dakota
Agricultural College in the use of
barley in bread making gave the fol-
lowing results: When 80 per cent of
the barley kernel was made into flour
and 10 per cent Of it used with 80 per
cent second clear wheat flour the bar
ley was not noticeable; when Is per
cent of this barley flour was used a
mild barley flavor resulted. When GO
per cent of the barley kernel was
made into flour, 10 per cent of it gave
slight barley flavor, while rs per
cent gave strong barley flavor. If
Is per cent of the barley flour (68 per
cent? were used in bread making, the
saving of wheat would be 79,650,000
bushels per year and it would take

1t was an interesting time they

from a company of the 32nd Infantry
which had sent out raiding parties IL
to No Mans Land and which kept up
a constant series of raids throughout
most OF the night.

Captain Charles F. Leonard and the
other army officers at the camp are

READY
FOR BIG GAME
With ST. Louis

The Braves will clash with the St.
Louis team tomorrow afternoon at
1:30 o'clock at Moiliili Park for a
second time in the Pacific League
second series. Should the Braves
emerge victorious the championship
of the second series will be theirs. II
they should fail in tomorrow's en-
counter 1t will result in triple tie
with the Hawaiis, Filipinos and
Braves playing off for the honors OF
the second series.
Taking into consideration their past
performances, the Saints and Braves
seem to be the best amateur teams in
the island. When they opposed each
other in the first series both teams
played twelve innings of fast ball be-
fore the collegians won the game.
Lee Working Hard .s-...- "
Bill Lee, manager and catcher OF
the Braves, has been busy person
the past week. In his statement to
the loup he said that not a single
stone has been left unturned in shap-
ing out his fast aggregation. Let
them all come" he said, I'VE are ready
to meet our old rivals. Although they
beat us in the first series, ] am con-
WINGED that the stunt will not be du.
plicated" =.s..
The Braves piled up total of so
runs and IS hits in the last two
games of the Pacific League, aver.
aging about one run to every hit. This
is going at a fast clip, and If past sta
tistics are to count the Braves should
have the edge on their rivals.
Miles 10 Silent
BILLY" Miles, manager of the
Saints, is not saying much. He has
without doubt unearthed some bril-
liant stars from the college and may
present to Lee and his aggregation
surprise package for the coming Hal
lowe'en. Brother Elmer, coach of st.
Louis, has had his boys out for prac-
tise for the past two weeks and con-
cedes nothing whatever to the Braves.
Captain Kurisaki Of the Saints will
do his usual backstopping, while Lee
will don the big mitt for his ball jug
glers. Concerning the pitching de-
partment, the Braves have somewhat
little edge on the saint boys. Harry
Sam Ku will be Lees logical choice,
while Billy Miles and Brother Elmer
have Markham, Hayselden and Stew
ard to depend on. 1t was Steward
who defeated the Braves dn the first
series and he may again be Miles
pick for the mound.
Braves Line
The Braves infield will be Rosa at
first, ]. Reid at second, Anahu at
third and F. Comes at shortstop. The
coIlegians will have Markham at the
initial sack. George Haneberg at the
keystone, King Tan at the difficult
corner and You Bun at short field. In
the infield the Saints quartet has the
edge on the Braves.
The outer garden of the Braves will
be composed of A. 0rnellas at left
field. p. 0'Sullivan at right field and
Arthur Nelson taking care OF the cen
ter garden. st. Louis will have Fun
Luke. Kekipi and Poepoe at left. cen
ter and right field respectively.
With both teams confident of vic
tory tussle will be the result As
the Braves are composed in the ma
jority of Portuguese boys. il will be
