SEAL CENSUS SHOWS INCREASE

Washington, Aug. 5 - The annual census of the seals, now being taken by the Bureau of Fish cries is expect ed to show about 600,00O of the ami ma1s, or three times as many as when the government undertook the cus- tody of them a half score years ago.
 Although the seal spends much of it's life at sea, it's habits make the census-takirg comparatively easy. Hugh M. Smith, com missioner of the Bureau of Fisheries, explains the count of noses'' is of importance to prevent blind killing of the animals for their furs, possibly resulting in their extinction.
 Under present government control, MT. Smith asserts that the seals are increasing about 10 or 12 per cent. of their number annually. Last years count showed $500 of which 26,ooO were killed for their belts.
 In the middle of Boring Sea. lying 40 miles apart, are two islands--St. George and St Pauline only land to which the seals ever resort. Every spring they visit the islands to raise their young, leaving in the fall to winter the north Pacific and it is dur ing the summer that the census is taken.
 
 done in the summer. this under law being confined to the surplus males Last year lack of labor resulted in 10000 fewer animals being killed than government officials had planned. Japan and Great Britain, along with the United States, share the revenue produced from the seal-kil1, a treaty giving this country 70 per cent. of the animals, with the other two countries each receiving IS per cent.
 ''In the old days, '' says MT. Smith, when 100. 900 seals were being killed annually the government obtained s10 per skin, while now we are get ting $140, which nets us about $120 per skin. Increase in the value of furs and the different method of con- ducting the business explains this.'
 Besides the sale of pelts, the gov ernment is operating a fertilizer plant on the islands for disposing of the carcass, from which there also is ex tracted an oil used for dressing tops of automobiles.

TO INSURE COWS.

Washington, Aug. 4-Life insur- ance for cows, sheep, pigs, horses and other live stock on the farm has been provided for in Italy by govern ment decree. In the past, the Italian farmer carried all his livestock insur ance with local mutual benefit insur- ance companies, which were unable financially to protect him against abnormal deah rate due to plague or other calamity. Under the new decree branches of the National In stitute for Local Insurance of Live stock will be opened in all important centers, and it's large funds will be available for insurance against nor nal as wellsas abnormal losses.

SEED AND FOOD COSTS.

One reason why food production is unsatisfactory, and food costs the consumer high, is that so much of the seed planted by the farmer is poor The Iowa Experiment Station inc one year has examined $500 samples of seed corn for farmers. It found 19 per cent. Of these seeds dead, and q per cent. was too weak to be of any value
 It would seem as if every farmer would want to have his need tested before going to the expense of plant Ing it. Probably the experiment sta

PLANS FOR
 LARGE DRY DOCK

Washington, Aug. 5.-The largest dry dock on the Mediterranean is planned at Naples.
 Recent decrees of the Italian gov ernment authorizing the construction of this deck and a smaller one at the industrial port of Baia-Averno provide that work must begin within SIX months of the official date of the dee- laration of peace
 Besides the dry docks, it is planned to transform Lake Averno for the use of shfpyards, and to build a canal connecting the lake with the port of Naples proper.

unofficial figures place at 400, it
marked the first occasion In eight
years that a major league player has
reached the 400 mark. and gave the
St. Louis Americans their first bat

Records indicate. incidentally, that
It was only the fifth time in a score
of years that a big league mark OF
such proportions has been established,
and in every instance by al Ameri-

LaJoie Of Cleveland led the way
in 1901. when he finished the season
with .422. and il was not until 10
years had passed that his record
was approached. Ty Cobb and Joe
Jackson then hung up marks OF .420
and .4OS, respectively. Cobb held up
for another year, compiling an aver
age OF .4lO in 1912. but after that, the
400 genius became extinct until this
year.
The last time the National League

OCTOBER.

There's a charm in mild October,
When the red leaves turn to brown,
And the latest fruit of summer
Falls in ripened fullness down;
When the purple of the aster
With the gold of sunflower vies,
When the morning sun is tardy
And the daylight earlier dies.
There's hazy beauty yelling
Colors that too brightly shone,
When September touched the land
scape
With splendor all her own;
And we feel dreamy pleasure
Basking in the mellow rays
That aslant are softly falling
In these rare October days.
Sounds of sweet adieus are waited
Thro' the air from feathered Threats,
AS they time their southwark passage
To migration's farewell notes;
Mingled perfumes float about US,
Blended hues on foliage lie;
Nature dons mystic raiment
Ere she lays her down to die.
'Tis the month Of the fulfillment
or the promise Of the year;
In whose lap is the fruition
In whose arms the goodly cheer;
All her sisters, kind have garnersd

then her eyes closed and the golden
head fell heavily against his shoulder
Agnes was with the Lamb of God,

she had loved during her brief but

clear voice. Then he was gone.
The roses bloomed upon the grave
of Agnes and wreath of the same

epitaph. Valeria knelt beside the
grave, absorbed in prayer. She wore
a dress of deep black set off by white
collar and cuffs Her head was bare
and the wind played with her soft
black tresses. A sudden step on the
gravel path caused her to look up. A
young man in deep mourning stood OPP

sudden blush dyed Valeria's cheeks
and she hastily rose to her feet.

her hand, while his dark eye seemed
to read her very soul She dropped
her eyes and her hand trembled in
