Pirates Drive Summers Out ul Box In First Inning. DETROIT MAKES PLUCKY FI6HT American League Champions Refuse to Be Discouraged by a Lead Their Opponents Gained Early In the Battle and Keep Up the Struggle Until Their Last Batter It Retired —Three Umpires Watch the Hitt and Plays. Detroit, Oct. 12. —Pittsburg defeated Detroit by the score of 8 to 6 in one of the most spectacular and fiercely contested games ever played In a world’s championship series. This gives Pittsburg the margin of two games to one in the series. Detroit showed In the final innings of the battle that it is far from a hopelessly beaten team. Rain fell frequently during the nine innings. Despite the weather the attendance, 18,277, broke all local records for the world's series. Pirates Get Six Runs Lead. Pittsburg jumped into a lead quickly by scoring five runs In the first Inning. They batted Summers out of the box. Another run in the second Inning gave Pittsburg a lead of 6 to 0. Detroit came to the fore with one of the gamest rallies ever made and scored four runs in the seventh inning, hatting Maddox hard and playing like fiends. With the score 6 to 4, Pittsburg connected with some of Works’ curves in the ninth for two runs. With the score 8 to 4 against it, the Detroit team even then did not realize it was beaten and smashed out two more runs in the last inning. Detroit outbatted Pittsburg by a margin of one hit, getting twelve to the winners’ eleven. Willett succeeded Summers in the first inning and did well until he was taken out to allow Mclntyre to bat for him in the seventh. Mclntyre struck outj Maddox was hit hard in the closing innings although Detroit could do nothing with him in the early sessions. Four Hits by Wagner.

Corporation Tax Is of Doubtful Constitutionality. By Hon. WILLIAM S. BENNET of New York, Congressman and Former Judge. CHE corporation tax as enacted at the last congress IS UNDULY BURDENSOME. It is a new and additional tax of a character utterly foreign to precedents in times of peace. r TO MEET A CONJECTURAL DEFICIENCY, WHICH IF IT EXIBTB CAN BE BUT TEMPORARY, WITH AN ELABORATE SYSTEM OF TAXATION OF A PERMANENT CHARACTER, IMPOBES ON THE BUSINESS OF THE COUNTRY NOT ONLY THE NEW AND UNNECESSARY TAX. BUT THE UNNECESSARY EXPENSE OF INSTALLATION AND OF OPERATION. THIS IS NEITHER STATESMANSHIP NOR BUSINESS. IT WILL NOT PRODUCE REVENUE WHEN NEEDED. IF THERE IS ANY DEFICIENCY EN THE CURRENT REVENUES, IT WILL BE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. NOT A DOLLAR CAN BE COLLECTED UNDER THIS LAW UNTIL JUNE, 1910. It unjustly discriminates. The small stockholder in the large corporation pays his share of the tax; THE LARGE BONDHOLDER DOES NOT. The few large industrial corporations can shift their share of the tax on to the consumer, while the ordinary corporations must pay theirs from the profits due their own stockholders. The thousands of insurance companies and associations must pay the full tax on every dollar of receipts, less losses and the comparatively small salaries paid to the few officers, while the large industrial corporations pay only on that portion of the income remaining after the deduction of all operating cost, including labor. THE HOLDER OF EVERY INSURANCE POLICY IS AFFECTED, BUT NOT THE HOLDER OF EVERY BOND NOR THE PREFERRED STOCKHOLDER. HOLDING CORPORATIONS, THE FACILE INSTRUMENTS OF MONOPOLY, SHALL PAY NOTHING. In some states —New York, for example—it is double taxation. Its constitutionality is doubtful. A tax of this character is alwavs in doubt until its constitutionality has been passed upon by the supreme court. It is unrepublican and un-American. So far in the history of our nation our national government has not levied taxes in times of peace based on class distinctions, express or implied. EACH CITIZEN HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT AS HE HAS USED ARTICLES PAYING A DUTY OR TAX. This system we have consistently maintained, and generally with popular approval. THE ENACTMENT OF THE CORPORATION TAX LAW MARKS A POLICY THAT SUGGESTS THE BNARL OF THE LAWLEBS MOB, THE SNEER OF THE ENVIOUS AND THE WHINE OF THE UNSUCCESSFUL. IT IS NOT PROGRESSIVE AND HAS NOT THE CONSTITUTION AS ITS GUIDE.

Future of the Flying Machine. By THOMAS A. EDISON. 'fM I E ar $ f fice to face with aerial navigation ON A SCALE lf| OF WHICH WE HAVE NEVER DREAMED. In ten years flying machines will be used to carry the mails. They’ll carry passengers too. THEY WILL GO AT A SPEED OF A HUN DRED MILES AN HOUR. There is no doubt of it. Anything within reason can be accomplished. The commercially SUCCESSFUL FLYING MACHINE IS WITHIN REASON. I NEVER BAW AN INVENTION DEVELOP MORE RAPIDLY. I WtBH MINE WOULD COME THAT WAY—MINE COME HARD. 80ME 8 WAY OR OTHER I FEEL THAT THE VERY FACT THAT THE FLYING MACHINE 18 COMING 80 EABILY 18 PROOF THAT THE PREBENT EXPERIMENTERS WITH THE AEROPLANE ARE ON THE WRONG TRACK. My criticism o's the aeroplane type of flying machine is that it is a machine for sports. The flying problem now consists of 75 per cent machine and 25 per cent man. That’s not right. THE COMMERCIALLY BUCCEBBFUL FLYING MACHINE MUST BE A DEVICE THAT ANY MAN OF INTELLIGENCE CAN LEARN TO OPERATE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, AND, HAVING LEARNED, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MACHINE MUBT BE CERTAIN, SURE. LITTLE OR NOTHING MUST BE LEFT TO THE PECULIAP SKILL OF THE OPERATOR.

Farm and Garden

CORN AND FODDER TIME Progreulvg Farmers Curs the Crop as They Do Wheat. 1 All through August and far Into the autumn months, according to locality, the corn harvest will be nnder way. tn the south It la called “fodder pulling time.” Wherever corn Is grown the season for gathering It in is always Interesting. There seems to be more sentiment In the corn harvest than in any other. At the same time the Work of stripping corn from the stalk and in stackiug the fodder shocks Is bot«altogether play. The progressive farmers of the northern and middle states are more expert In the saving of fodder than are the farmers of the south. The plan Is simple. They cut down the stalks, blades and all, and cure them in the shocks as many farmers do with their wheat and oats. Many southern farmers have tried the plan of cutting and curing In ihocks and afterward snapping off the ears and shredding the blades and stalks. For a year or two the plan was very popular. It looked as If it would be almost universally adopted. Those who were fortunate In getting first class shredding machines and who exercised ordinary judgment and skill In handling the corn crop in this way were delighted with their experience, and many are still following the practice. For ten or twelve years the Georgia experiment station has practiced the cutting and shocking and shredding, system, aqd this plan is still pursued with satisfaction. One or two years, owing to unusually bad seasone in

CORNHUSKING TIME.

September (a rare occurrence) or a little unskillful handling, more or less of the shredded stuff was badly damaged by dampness and heating. When sweet and free from damage the horses, mules and cattle ate it freely, rejecting but a small percentage. Work animals and milk cows are kept in good condition on it, with no other roughage for months at a time. The stalks by this process are out of the way of the sowing of small grain. The refuse stalks are not left to be In the way next spring. The illustration “Cornhusklng Time” is the good old way in all sections, and, although it is tedious, it is always sure. Quality In Farm Labor. The time has come when the barrier known as the contract labor law should be modified so that farmers could hire the right kind of tyrm hands in England and northern Europe, advertising for them in a cooperative way in the foreign farm papers or securing them through American consular agents. First class men could be obtained if they could be legally promised jobs in advance. As It is now, only a few of the best class care to run the chances of coming over with no definite prospect In view, and the bulk of our immigration is not well suited to labor on northern farms. Importation of trained, reliable help from northern Europe would help to solve the immigration problem and that of farm labor as well. Sift out the low grade immigrants, but take down the bars against those who make the best kind of raw material for citizenship. Value of Cowpeae. The cowpea Is a large beanlike plant that produces a large amount of forage. It is valuable for a green fpod or for plowing under for green manure. It has been used successfully for improving wornout soils, especially those that are light and sandy In texture. Its greatest advantage for this purpose is Its ability to gather nitrogen from the air and mineral elements from subsoil. When the crop is plowed under these are left near the surface, where they will be available to shallow rooted crops and those which cannot get nitrogen from the air. It has been little used for hay in the north, because it cannot be readily dried in this climate. It makes a good green feed for milk cows between Aug. 15 and be preserved in the silo by mixing with corn fodder. Pumpkins For Fall Feed. It will pay to sow plenty of pumpkin seed. Pumpkins are one of the best fall and winter green feeds for almost all kluds of stock, especially dairy animals. They are especially relished by hogs and cows, and they are excellent to mix with dairy feed for the production of milk, the cows relishing them greatly. , > Baskets For Barrios. In making provision for the crop of red raspberries order pint baskets instead of quarts. The fruit carries much better in the smaller package, and profits are generally larger. The oblong pint basket may be used in thi ordinary thirty-two quart crate.
