It was definitely decided to start the
championship series on Saturday. Au-
gust q. The teams that will be in
this series will be the winners in the
above circuits, with the possible ex-
CeptiOn OF the Navy Yard League.
Manager Crooke of the ClOffeps team,
probable winners in the Navy Yard
League. stated last night that owing
to the fact that the Navy Yard
League was a closed league his club
would stand very little show in the
post season games and would not
enter unless a picked team is allowed
to represent that circuit.

stretched about one or two lnches I'M
der the surface in order to prevent
roofing. Furthermore, dirt floors
should. be wetted down az frequent in
tervals to prevent the accumulation of
dust, which is particularly injurious to
hogs where they have to breathe it
continually in their sleeping quarters.
The use of crude oil is very helpful in
remedying this difficulty. The floor Of
che hog house should also be well
drained, particularly in the case of
dirt floors, so that when heavy rain
occurs the run-off water will be car
ried away instead of being centralized
within the hog house to form a mud
wallow.
The matter of ventilation is often
overlooked in hog-house construction.
Facilities for air circulation are es-
sential, as in properly ventilated
houses there is much less danger of
the hogs pi,ing up and little, if any,
danger Of them going out from the
houses in the morning reeking with
steam, conditions which usually are
present where the hogs are housed in
poorly ventilated shelters. 1t is also
essential, the department specialists
say, that the hog quarters be provided
with plenty of fresh, bright, dry bed
ding which may be changed at frequent
intervals.

The first message from the tx

dispatch to all wireless stations in the
army area tnone of which actually ex-
isted), in the new code OF course, d.
recting that none of the stations an
swer or make use of their sending in
struments, for fear of the enemy locat-

alert at fixed hours to receive mes

Germans that a large number of wire

advise them of the hours when the en-
envy intercepting stations should be

This was followed by a series Of
messages designed to indicate that the

the enemy of the geographical limits

messages were directed to imaginary

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Goats are of great advantage to a
pasture that is brushy.
Short rations and laxative may be
used for slightly sick hogs.
Good teams have more TO do with
good farming than most people realize.
Few farmers can afford to get along
without feeding few hogs for mar
ket.
More teams should be raised to take
the place of horses and mules now In
use.
Every farmer sooner or later must
replace his teams. Why not raise
colts to take the place Of old work
animals?
Pasture is very important for pigs.
Those who depend upon concentrated
feeds alone for pigs are apt to ma
feeding costly.
Pasturing the brood SOW and her lit
ter keeps them all in good health, the
pigs will make satisfactory gains, ana
there will be decided saving of grain.
Hogs should not have to drink Ice
cold water. The hog. feeder who does
aot provide water other than by chop
ping hole in the ice of pond is los
ing money.

WOMEN ARE HELP in
FINLAND POLITICS

Having thus such an excellent
foundation to build upon, it is small
wonder that the womans movement
soon found many active supporters.
In 1868 the diet had accorded the mu-
nicipal vote to woman taxpayers living
ir the country, and In 1872 to women
living in the TOWNS, all of whom were
also given the right to be elected
members Of certain local self-govern-
ing bodies. In 1900 the woman social
democrats included the suffrage in
their program, but the special activity
for the suffrage began only in the year
1904, although in 1897 petition had
been officially presented to the diet at
the request of the Finnish Woman's
association.
'"The reason why so little was done
in direct furtherance of the cause of
woman suffrage between the years
1897 and 1904 is that just at that TIME
Finland was passing through severe
political crisis.
Women as Strike Managers.
"After the outbreak of the October
revolution in Russia (1905) sympa-
thetic strike was declared in Finland,
and several of the members of the CEN
trail committee elected by mass meet
ing to manage the details of the strike
were women.
"The first action taken by the COM
mittee was to close all the liquor
shops, saloons and barrooms and to
organize volunteer police force to
keep order. After the second day
the markets were reopened and the
strikers were not allowed to cut off
the water supply. In short, the strike
was managed in a most orderly and
systematic way and no outrages Of
any sort were committed.
During the course Of the strike nu-
merous Populations were sent with Pc
titions to the governor general, and
in each deputation there were women
members. Thus, even in moments of
grave political danger and at times
when the utmost moderation and fore
sight were needed, the Films were not
afraid to trust their women.
"The very great interest that the
women took in the elections may be
gathered from the fact that in Helsing-
fors, the capital, at the time of the
second elections Tin 1909, there were
1860 woman voters and 1856 men
voters registered. 1t is true that the
majority of the women voted for men,
as there were only 26 women elected
in house of 200, but one woman re-
ceived a larger number of votes than
was given to any Of the men candi.
