A FATHERS PRAYER.

Dear Lord, I do mot ask for wealth Sor
fame. or place Of pomp.
But let me keep my spirit young and
with my children romp;
Let me with dignity and strength
meet every morning task,
But let me be a boy lat !, night. No
more than this Task.
A boy at4night! o, Father OF US all,
grant this to me-
Let Time not take ,awayrthe lad that
once.I used to be; ~ II
By day afman's worhsI will do, obey
ing each command,
But make OF me a child at night that
children understand.
I would not grow too old for them,
too old to ace and shout.
p want my eyes to glow with mirth
whenever they're about.
By day I'll face the heat and strike
and battle for the right,
But o. dear Lord, I pray to be a little
boy at night!
Dear Lord, I ask no lofty place or
jeweled diadem,
I pray to keep:nay spirit young and At
to play with them;
Though Time may wrinkle deep my
face and turn my hair to white.
Let me come to those / love, 4 little

AMERICAN RELIEF IN RUSSIA.

There is a rather popular impression that the
American relief in Russia is in some way under the
direction OF the United States government. This is
not correct. The government is not associated in
this work except through the activity Of Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce, who is head of the
American Relief administration The two duties,
however, are entirely separate, and the government
is not involved in the relief work in any direct man
to the cabinet, he stipulated that he be permitted to
continue his activities in the relief work in which he
was interested, and he took the office with Ms I'M
Outstanding.
While the government is not directly associated
in the relief work, its attitude toward it is that OF
this would have been sufficiently indicated BY the
willingness of the president and other members of
the administration that Mr.. Hoover should consider
his relationship to the relief work. That work is be-
ing prosecuted vigorously and effectively. After
long consultation and negotiation and repeated eff
forts on the part Of the soviet government at Mos
COW to bring about a different arrangement, the re-
lief work is being conducted without regard 10
race, religion, social or political status. The Lenine-
Irotzky element sought for a long time to obtain
some sort OF control over the work 50 that it could
pc used as a basis for the promotion Of their own
political interests. This was successfully resisted
and the work is solely under the control Of Mr.
Hoover and the Americans who are associated with
him. So controlled, the work is purely benevolent
without an Interior purpose.
In one particular, among Others, the attitude
[of Mr.. Hoover has been very unsatisfactory to the
soviet authorities. The relief administration Is pnt.
ting forth every effort to feed and Otherwise relieve
the necessities Of suffering women and children, hui
az an adult relief in general Mr.. Hoover has stated
that until the soviet authorities exhaust the q.
|sources IL gold and other metals they are known "a
possess for the purchase Of breadstuifs abroad, they
should not ask heiPfrom outside, and ii IS the policy
Iof the administration to withhold donations to
adults except y extreme eases, until the Moscow

GRADING FARM PRODUCTS.

Is only a few years since the shipment of po-
tatoes from this section of the northwest began, vet
the potato industry is today one of the most i'm
portant OF this district. Occasionally there is heard
some complaint of what is regarded as undue rigid
lty in potato grading. Potatoes are graded as to
size, regularity of form, smoothness, etc, and occa-
gre rejected which, though not quite perfect, and
asear*enough to perfection to pass muster.
n As to whether or rot this criticism is warrant
Cd IN any particular case, The Herald is not pre-.
pared to say. 1t is a fact, however. that the careful
grading of a commodity is one of the essentials fer
the maintenance of a desirable reputation and the
consequent ability of the people of a district to mar
ket their products to advantage. By means of care
p this particular Red River Valley potatoes. have
Acqu,red a standing in the great central markets
Which IS a tremendous asset to the district, an asset
81 great value. and which it is possible to destroy in
single season by careless grading.
81 q no particular has the value Of careful grad
9lng been better demonstrated in this country than
r. the history Of the apple industry. While that in
sdustry in the far western states was still in ;+s in
fancy those engaged in it organized themselves into
4eeo-ofperative associations for the marketing of their
product. and one of the methods which they en-
SPaoyed was that Of placing on the market only fruit

any kind, and of the exact size represented on the

That III police had visited Captain

What had happened was thai on
me very evening Of the day On which
Hart In Upper Scotney the police had
paid . visit to the rooms which Can
tam Wharf had been occupying in
Duke street, st. JameA,' and he'd
found, as the sergeant had told me,
that he had gone. He had gone In
q manner which indicated either 1
considerable haste in his going or else
some other motive which had induced

Seuen and Half Games Behind august 24 McCra,o's
Team Staged Comeback That Earned Them the
Pennant--Pirdtes Came Struggle

| four game lead that was gradually in
creased until on August "a, ready for a
FIVE game series with the Giants, the
Bucs sailed into Gotham with seven
| and half game lead. That series
was the beginning of the end for the
Pirates. At the start of the games
newspaper writer's and dopesters the
country over could see nothing but the
Pirates. Seven and half games they
contendcd was too great lead for any
team to overcome.
The Pirates were expected after their
great series with the Boston Braves
during the previous series to win at
least three of the five games. The
Giants previous to the series had been
playing in-and- out bnll, losing as con-
sistcntly as they were winning. while
the Pirates, riding on the crest of what
,, , looked like certain pennant wave,
were winning with sickning regularity,
according to the New York fans.
The Giants Great Fight
With their backs to the wall the
Giants staged n whirlwind fight during
the series that gave them the verdict
| IN each of the FIVE games. Nehf took
the measure of the Bucs twice while
Barnes, Toney and Douglass came
through with victories. The five
straight wins heartened the Giants and
from then on they started fight that
| landed them on the top.
The Pirates stung by the sudden turn
of the fates seemed to lose heart and
sink rapidly. On the following day,
August 30, after the conclusion of the
series with the Giants the Pirates lost
another game. while the Giants were
Winning and the lead was reduced to
one and a half games. On Septem-
Der 2, the Pirates still in the race and
lighting grimly had lost half game
of their precious lead.
On September the Pirates increased
the lead by half a game only to lose
that much of their margin on September
8, two days later. On September 10
the Giants and the Pirates were tied
the former winning and the latter los
ing. On the following day each scored
q victory and the tie continued.
On September 10, the Giants went
into the lead for the first time since
June 6, winning while the Pirates were
losing. The margin was eight points
On September 16. the Giants held &
lead of two and one half games after
defeating the braves, while the Red.

On September 10, the Giants had four
