 Giants in Last
 Game of Series
Napier Turns In Fourth Victory for Reds, Stopping
 the Pirates

Brooklyn, September 26.-Brooklyn went one step nearer the National championship today by defeating New York to ?, and now needs only one more victory to win the pennant. As the race now stands, between the Su- perbas and Giants, the former can lose all their remaining games and the best the Giants could do by winning all they have to play would be to make it tie race. The two clubs will resume their series at the Polo grounds Thursday and also will play Friday and Saturday.
 Brooklyn's victory today was due to the masterly pitching of Marquard and timely hitting by his team mates. Toney started in the box for New York, but was touched for four hits and one run in the first two innings. Douglas, who succeeded him, kept the Brooklyn players off the paths until the seventh, when he was directly le- sponsible for two runs. Meyers walked and took second on passed ball.
 Konetchy and Kilduff sent fly balls to King and then Douglas intentional ly passed Krueger. Marquard also walked and a hit by Olson scored Meyers and Krueger.
 Salee pitched the last inning for the Giants and the Brooklyn team added another run.
 Meyers, batting for Griffith hit for two bases and after Wheat went cut, scored on a single by Myers.
 George Burns scored both runs Tor New York, getting to first in each in- stance on an error. In the third John ston's tumble gave Burns lift and he completed the circuit on hits by Ban croft and Young. In the eighth Grif- fifth dropped an easy fly by Burns. The latter advanced when Bancroft was passed and took third on Young's hit to left. Burns scored while Young was being forced out at second on Friscl's grounder to Olson. Score: R. H. E.

The wier problem is one which is of

Just what action will be taken is doubt

That Unusual Profits Are

eratiOns in Imperial Valley
Imperial Valley is the greatest cat

Imperial Valley is the greatest cat
tie feeding section of the world"
This is the assertion of Salvatore
Creel, nephew of the famous General
Terrassas, former cattle king IF
Northern Mexico. Mr.. Creel, together
with 7. j. Lewis, feeds from 900 to
1000 cattle annually in Imperial VAL
"From $4,000 to 10000 head of cat
tie have beed fed each year in I'm
perial Valley for the last three years, "
said Mr.. Creel in recent interview at
Calipatria, his headquarters. z
During the past year practically
all cattle feeders in the corn belt and
elsewhere lost heavily" Mr.. Creel stat
ed, "but of the thousands Of head feed
ing in the Imperial valley nearly all
showed small margin of profit or at
least broke even" Citing last year
as one of the most disastrous in the
cattle feeding game, Mr.. Creel con-
siders this achievement one of the
greatest inducements of Imperial Val
ley he has ever encountered.
Another great factor in our sue
cess in Imperial Valley" said Mr..
Creel, "is the fact that loan companies
regularly advance 100 per cent of the
cost Of feeder cattle to any Imperial
Valley operator having feed on hand
or contracted for. This indicates also
the confidence of bankers and money
lenders in the results obtained by I'M
perial Valley feeders.
"In fact, no more ideal conditions
exist anywhere than we have during
the feeding period Of five months. The
cattle do not receive pound of grain
being fed on green alfalfa and barley
pasturage all winter. Towards the
last they receive small quantities of
dry hay in order to harden them some
what before shipment.
"The usual practice is to rent pas
ture from various farmers. For this
privilege the usual pay is about SIS
head for period of two or four
weeks, depending on the size of the
alfalfa"
Summing up his operations as g
farmer in Imperial Valley, MrA Creel
stated that he had bought section
| which held three years later as grair
land, at an advance Of some $50 tc
/ $65 per acre. In raising alfalfa, ht
said that his winter income average:
SIS per acre, in addition to his regular
production of about seven tons Of hay
per year. In one year he asserted
he raised nearly 30 sacks of barley PEE
acre, following this crop with a tol
of milo maize. At that time the bar
ley sold for $2.75 sack and the corr

MUST SEND FOOD
 INTO ARMENIA

Only the continuation of the Ameri- can food supply for Armenia and Georgia stands between the people of these two young Transcaucasian re- publics and Bolshevism, according to Lieut.. Col. James Ulio, of Fargo, N. D., who has just returned from a years service with the Haskell Mis- sion to Armenia. in charge of the Near East relief work.
 The Armenians are anything but Bolshevists," Colonel Ulio declared, "and they are bitterly opposed to the ernment. But if the people of the United States lay down on them, they will have to choose between a Soviet government and starvation. The withdrawal of the Haskell Mis- and the cessation of the American relief Administrations program of supplying flour to the starving Ar ate a desperate situation. We were busy night and day all last winter getting enough seed wheat for the people of Armenia to sow this spring, but the need was so great that a good. many people ground up the seed wheat into flour and ate 1t, and even with that there would not be enough grain availab ble' this harvest to see the population of Armenia and Georgia through next winter. If American aid stops, by next Christmas the whole of Transcaucasia will again be in the grip of an appalling famine, and tens of thousa nds of Armenians will die like flies.''

CONQUEST OF THE AIR.

For many years the navigation of the air presented a problem which the foremost scientists and inventors of their times strove in vain to solve. The balloon was invented, at an early date but no method of steer ing such an aircraft could be discov- cred so it was rendered useless for all practical purposes.
 The FTanco-Prussian war occurring in 1870 stimulated efforts on the part of France ito invent an airShip which would answer it's helm. During the investment of Paris by the Prussians no less than siXty-five balloons as cended from the French capitol with the object of esta ab1ishing communica- tion with the outside world. Out of all this number not one succeeded in returning. The helplessn essz of the balloon in that crisis set the French people to thinking. New types of aircraft sprung up like mushrooms over night. But few of these proved in any way practical. Tissander and Clifford were the most successful of the French inventors during this pe- riod but even their airships left great deal to be desired.
 In an attempt to develop a success full airship the French governIn ent organized an aeronautica1 bureau. Captain Renard was placed at the head of this bureau and he immedi- ately commenced to experiment with the various types of aircraft in the
 hope of iproving upon them. After considerable difficulty he designed an electric motor superior to any known at that time. Having supplied motive power he then construct an aircraft of spindle shape and 165 feet in length. In fitting the craft with a propeller he departed from all pre- cedent, placing it in the front instead of at the rear.
 Captain Renard chistened his in- vention The, France and on August
 9, 1884 he esssayed a trial flight. Ac- companied by his assistant, Captain Krebs he entered the balloon and the weather conditions being favorable took the air and sailed away. After
 covering two and half miles Renard turned the craft, which answered per- fectly to its helm, and came back over the course to settle down on the exact spot from which it had started This feat was unparelled in histor and it aroused the world to applaud It became the chief topic of conver- sation all over the globe and hun dreds flocked to the Paris Worlds S Fair in 1889 to see the new inven- ton.
 Spurred on by Remarks success tn other great European powers bent their efforts to further perfect avia-
 ton and the great dirigible ballons of today are the result of their experiments. Count von Zeppelin was accorded much distinction for his in ventfons but during the World war the German dirigibles failed to come up to expectations.
 The balloon is a French invention. MnntOn1fiar trn l first balloon in 17S3. Francois Pilatre ! de Rozier. a young naturalist, was the first to ascend in an airship He | survived the first flight but wasxaf- forwards killed in an attempt to cross the channel in balloon.

''The boy whose skill in drawing or design includes him toward archMec. ture as a profession should be warn ed beforehand that artistic success is difficult, requiring years of earnest eff grow rich" says an article, 'Waen You Grow Tp-Archhtect? ?" in the August Boys Life. "A prominent member of the profession says that the only certainty about an archi- tectS earnings is that he may earn nothing at all, and that the very few men who have made money in the profession have not always achieved a real success as judged by professional ideals. The financial returns are far below those in other professions

In the face of these facts, hard work and real talent will usually win an honest liv- ing, if nothing more, with the addi- tional rewards of pleasant associa- tdons, variety of outdoor and indoor work, a profession unlimited in possi- bilities and the artiEic satisfaction which comes from creation and self expression"

THE CAR THIEF SPEAKS.

Any man who owns a motor car can make it practically thief-proof by the use of a really efficient lock. You hear great tales of automobile thieves who can pick any lock that was ever made. and probably a lot of them can, but none of them in his sensess is going to bother with a car that is locked when right around the corner he can find one without the sign of a. lock on it. Thieves aren't looking for extra work any more than honest men are. Put a good lock on your car and the chances are ninety-nine out of a hAn- dred that it will never be tampered with, unless you insist on giving the thieves such an opening that their self-respect won't allow them to neg lect it." Thus spake a man less than a month out of one of our most ex- elusive states prisons, where he served a term of three years for ap- propriating to his own uses a motor car belonging to another member of the community.
 His interesting story is related by Alexander Johnston in the August iS- sue of Motor, where the ingenious methods used by a skilled gang of car thieves are barred to the advantage of every car owner.
