LIMESTONE USED
FOR AGRICULTURE
in UNITED STATES

One of the Food Administrations
recent rulings concerning the use of
ground limestone has been construed
to exclude its use for agricultural
purposes. As a matter of fact, such
an Interpretation largely defeats the
purpose of recommendations made by
the agricultural advisory committee
and by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The use. of lime and it's relation to
crop production is so important in
some sections that Rhodes S. Baker,
assistant priorities commissioner, has
made the following Interpretation of
the rule in question.
The state official who supervises ag-
ricultural production or soil conserva-
tion-usually the director of the Ex-
tension Service of the State Agricul-
tural college-may supervise without
direction or permit from the fertilizer
division the distribution and use Of
burned lime and ground limestone for
agricultural purposes, and any man.
ufactuTer, producer or dealer in burn
lime or ground limestone may supply
such products for agricultural pur-
poses under such rules and regula-
tions as may be prescribed by such
state official. This Interpretation
does not in any wise modify the dis
tribution of I'm for use other than
agricultural purposes.

DOINGS IN THE SPORT WORLD
Columbia Eleven
Loses Star Back

Columbia's football prospects re-
ceived. a serious setback yesterday
when Charlie Shaw, the speediest half
back of the squad and intercollegiate
half-mile champion, had received
orders to report at an aviation train
ing school tomorrow. Shaw receiv-
ed the orders from Major Herbert c.
Earnshaw, commander of the S. A. I.
c., and unless a modification of the
command is received Shaw will be
unable to play against Amherst S. A.
T. C. game tomorrow, Columbia's first
intercollegiate game of the year.
Shaw's departure has wrecked
Dawson's plan for his backfeld and
will force him to send in a patch
work combination against Amherst
tomorrow. This is made necessary
because Of the fact that Houlahan, a
line breaker and punter, is still sui
fering from influenza and will be IN
able to play tomorrow, while both
Canapery and Memmott, who have
been out for more than a week, are
in no condition to play.
posaI Dawson will probably keep
Robb at quarter back, while Wesley
and Daley will be the half backs, and
| Zychlinski will be at full back. Yves
! ley started in the game against Mer-
| rift and was succeeded in the second
half by Daley. Zychlinski was at full
back all through the Merritt game.
Dawson kept the squad hard at il
again until after dark, devoting much
of his time to perfecting new plays
| that will be used against Amherst. L
is evident that Columbia will rely
chiefly on a running attack because
little attention has been given to the
forward pass save from the defensive
and in that phase Dawson has beer
especially careful in teaching hi!
team how to break up opponent:
| passes. In a scrimmage at the enc
of the drill the Varsity. showed it
superiority over the scrub in no IN
certain fashion.
No further information had beef
received from Yale relative to a gam,
with the Columbia S. A. T. G. eleve,
in the bowl at New Haven, and the
Columbia authorities were not in
clined to treat seriously reports tina
Yale was really DESTROYS of meetin'
their team.
Both Fred Dawson and Leverin!
Tyson, graduate manager, said, how
ever, that if the Blue actually wante
, a game an effort would be made t
accommodate it. Columbia ma
suggest that the battle be played a
the Polo Grounds.
Mr.. Tyson announced that De Wit
: Clinton H. S. and the High School O
: Commerce would play their annuf
game at South Field on the mornin
Of Nov. 16 instead of at the Pol
! Ground as had been originally SEIZED
= uled.

Anthracite Miners
Get 81 Day Increase

Washington, Nov. 1.-Wage in
creases of approximately 81 a day FOR
workers in anthracite mines of eastern
Pennsylvania were granted by Fuel
Administrator Garfield yesterday. The
readjustment will go into effect today.
In addition to higher pay it lays the
foundation for the sterilization of
working conditions in the fields.
The new wage scale basis is:

shall receive an advance of 40 per
cent. on their gross earnings; consid-
GRAFTON miners shall receive an adj
vance Of Is per cent. plus 81 day.
Contract miners laborers shall re-
ceive an advance of 40 per cent. on
their earnings. AS this increase of 10
per cent. ovee the agreement of Mo-
vember II, 1917, is less than 81 a
basic shift, the difference shall be as
sumed by the operator.
Consideration miners la1borers shall
receive an advance Of rs per cent. plus
81 a day.
Day machine miners laborers who
received not les than $2.72 day shall
| receive an advance of IS per cent
plus 81 a day.
Outside blacksmiths, carpenters
electricians, machinists, firemen
noisting engineers on shafts and slopes
where employment is limited by law
or by the award of the anthracite Goa,
errike commission to eight hours g
day, and engineers working on a IL
| hour shift basis, shall receive an ad.
/ vance of 50 a day. All other outside
company men who received $154 6

Of 81. so day.

Trade across the Pacific is NOW re-
ceiving special attention of those en-
gagged in our foreign commerce,
Whether this is due to the dangers
of navigatgion on the Atlantic or the
withdrawal of vessels on the eastern
frontage for war service, it is at least
certain that practically all gains in
trade now being officially reported oc-
cur ON the Pacific frontage. A COM
pilation by the National City Bank of
New York shows that exports by way
of the Pacific coast ports in the seven
months ending with July, 1918, show
an increase of 70 per cent. when COM
pared with the corresponding months
of 1917, while those of the Atlantic
ports show a reduction of about Il
per cent, and those OF the northern
border ports a loss of per cent. In
the imports the gains of the Pacific
ports are also striking, showing an
advance of about 80 per cent. over
last year, while those of the Atlantic
show fall of about per cent, and
those of the border ports are IN
changed. The only frontage which
shares the gain of the Pacific coast

While the figures show that the

present in the camps for some weeks,

chiefly to the constant arrival of new
men not before exposed to the dis
ease.

front are to keep warm this winter
The forestry section of the American
Expeditionary Force has promised to
deliver on the road ready to be haul
ed to the men at the front before
January 1, 100000 cubic meters of
fuel wood. This is equivalent to n
pile of wood a yard wide and a yard

Thousands of foresters are now
busy in the French forests gathering

from dead wood and refuse in the
forest. The fine trees of which the
French are so proud are not being
