non compliance Is publication of the

II was only this month, however
that the commission made use OF It's
powers to the extent of publication OF
names, Until the latter part OF 1918
II was prevented from making com
plete inspections to determine com
pliance with its DEGREES because the
constitutionality OF the minimum
wage law was contested. The state
supreme court finally upheld the com.
missions right TO make such inspec

After this decision things went SO
smoothly that the commission was a
to obtain compliance without legal
action. But 1t struck a snag in July

while everybody realizes in a

millions OF dollars on fertilizers. and
to reap and gather and thresh, is no
mean task. And yet compared with
tue part that nature plays in the
process, mans work seems very
slight labor. For instance. II takes
about 20 inches OF rainfall to grow

2.2GO tons of water to the acre.
That seems preposterous figure.

New York, Oct. 6.-New York
Americans made world series history
today by shutting out the Giants, three
to nothing in the second game, the
struggle leaving the Nationals runless
after eighteen innings played in the
first two games. The Yankees did this
lively work on bases and the best pos
slble use of their hits, supported
throughout by brilliant twirling with
their young right handed star.
Hoyt allowed only. two measley sim
giles. Nehf, for the Giants. pitched
three-hit game, but his own error was
one of the breaks in the Giants de-
Tense
The first run came in the fourth in-
ming when ward, seemingly trying TO
dodge tbe bali, popped one into short
right that fell safe. Nehf took Nc
lNalIys grounder and threw wild to
second. shank walked and Ward
scored while Rawlings was throwing
H0yt out az HfSl.
To start the eighth Frisch dropped
Peckinpaugh's fly. Ruth forced Peck
inpaugh at second but Bob Meusers
single sent Ruth to third and MeuseT
took second on the throw TO third.
Ruth tailed while Rawlings was
throwing out Pipp at first. Meusel
went to third on play and then pro-
ceeded to steal home, duplicating Me-
Nally's feat of yesterday.
Ruth walked up the other three
times and stole second and third In
the fifth, while the crowd of thirty
four thousand. nine hundred and thir-
ty-nine fans, roared. Nehf seemed TO
be pitching to Ruth but trying to cut
corner, resulted in bases on balls.
