REDS MAKE LEAD TWO FULL GAMES; BEATJUPERBAS St. Louis Tailenders Turn on Giants While Leaders Romp Out in Front. Gl ANT-RED STANDING.

While Joha McGraw was tasting defeat from the St. Louis Railroaders, Pat Moran srd his dashing pennant chasers took the

Rupert as for a neat little victory at tne Red lot Monday afternoon, and copped the conteet, 7 to 2. Tho Reds tattered Sergeant C Mitchell's delivery for three runs in the sixth, and he hit the showers. He was relieved by Sherrod Smith, also cf the A. E. F., but the Reds V.d little regard for veterans, either of war or baseball, and two more were scored in the seventh. Just to make it Interesting. Not only were the league leaders forced to combat Brooklyn, but .1. Pluvius came in for his share of tne opposition, and for three Innings, it was necessary to play in a drizzling rain. Lead New 18 Points. By defeating the 8uperbas, while the Giants had an oft day. the Reds increased their lead to eighteen points Mid are now the undisputed leaders for at least two days, as it would take two full games to pull Pat's warriors from the top of the ladder. Much Interest has been manifested in Wednesday's game. Leon C&durc, who defeated the Reds, 2 to 1 In eleven Innings, on the last eastern trip, will face Hod Eller, who' has also an extra inning battle to his credit, a thirteen inning affair against tee same Puperbas. Eller shut the Superbas out for thlrten rounds, and Cadore allowed the Reds but five hits in. his eleven inning go, so the affair of Wednesday ought to be a clever exhibition. The Reds have one more game w'.th Brooklyn, after Wednesday, and then the Phillies come for a stay. The score : Brooklyn 110 000 0002 t 2 Cincinnati 200 003 20x 7 li 2 Mitchell.

FANS WILL SIZE UP INDIANAPOLIS PLAYERS SUNDAY Richmond fans will have an opportunity to compare the city league players of Indianapolis with Richmond's S. A. L. men. in the. game next Sunday against the Indianapolis All Stars, at Exhibition park. The Indianapolis team is composed of the Fame players that made up the Abbatoir team. Indianapolis Commercial league champions of 1918, and with two exceptions, all are men with league experience. Steinmetz and Sweeney have played several seasons with the Flint team of the Michigan state league, and Hamilton was for several seasons an outfielder in the Southern association. The complete line-up of the AllStars follows: Steinmetz, 3b: Hamilton. If: Brown, cf; Porior, ss; Stewart, if; Corridan, 2b; Scheib. lb; Brown, p; Schott, p; Sweeney, c; Gold, c. Even New York Fans Pulling For Cincinnati Evidently all the fans in New York City are not pullinir for the Giants to win the pennant. The folks who take in the games at the Polo grounds when the Yankees are at home seem to be very much against the McGraw outfit, judging by the following which appeared in the New York Times last Sunday. Cincinnati had a lot of friends among the fans at yesterday's game. When three runs for Cincinnati were posted on the scoreboard there was a long round of applause, and when another trio of tallies went up for the Reds the demonstration became an outburst." FOOD PRICES FALL IN KANSAS KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 6. Impending legislation to reduce the high cost of living is believed to have been responsible for a drop of 60 cents a barrel in the wholesale price of flour and a falling off of 75 cents to $1.00 a hundred on hogs here today. The possibility of railroad strikes, resulting in a general tie-up. Is also said by stock men to have influenced the hog market

BOOKLET ON MOORE MUSEUM, TRIBUTE TO FOUNDER, TO BE ISSUED BY EARLHAM

A publication soon to be issued by Earlham college is a booklet on the Joseph Moore Museum, which is generally recognised as the best college museum in the state and one of the best in the middle west The unique character of the work is indicated in the first place by the fact that it is the result of a co-Opera-live effort which is enlisting the enthusiastic assistance of a great number of those who were once pupils of Professor Moore, or who knew him well. One feature of the booklet will be a list of all who are thus co-operating In producing the work, and it is probably largely ' on account of this feature which thus makes Of the booklet a real tribute to the memory Of Joseph Moore, that so large a measure of interest bas already been created in the enterprise. Responses received to date include representatives from every year of Professor Moore's connection with Earlham college from 1854 to the time of his death in 1905, with the single exception of the year 1855; and with the present rate of additional responses as they are new coming in. some representatives of that year will no doubt soon be recorded. . May Have Been Missed While great care has been taken to see that announcement of this work reaches all former pupils and associates of Professor Moore, it is of course quite certain that some have been missed because of insufficient knowledge as to their present location. All who read this statement are therefore asked to consider it a personal invitation- to join with those who have already responded In making a tribute of this kind to Professor Moore possible. For the sake of a clear understanding it should be said that the amounts of money contributed will not be published. It Is, nevertheless, perfectly proper to state that the contributions so far received vary in amount from 81.00 to 825.00 each. But since the emphasis is being placed on the tribute to Professor More rather than upon a financial campaign, and since It is the hope that every former pupil and associate of Professor Moore who can be reached by the announcement maybe listed in the booklet when published. It should be understood that any Shells Scattered Over Fields Injure Peasants (By Associated Press) JERUSALEM. Aug. 6. Many children are injured each day in Palestine by shells and explosives which were scattered throughout the country during the open warfare between the Turks and the allies. The battlefields cover such a large area that careful salvaging has been impossible, and the result is that children, farmers, or peasant women are mangled almost every day by accidental explosions. A large number of the cases treated in the American Red Cross surgical hospital here have been bomb or abdominal cases, according to the physician in charge. The hospital was operated for seven months, treating a total of 668 patients. In the various clinics and dispensaries operated by the Red Cross in connection with the hospital, 24.000 men, 46,000 women and 70,000 children were treated in eleven months' time. The hospital now has been turned over to the city health department. Antioch, 0. Eva Potterf.

The college considers itself particularly fortunate that one of its recent alumni, Howard Leigh, who hat even in the short time he has been at work has demonstrated hl unusual ability as an artist, has consented to make a series of drawings for the Museum booklet . The booklet will, of course, be dedicated to the memory of Joseph Moore, and will tell something of the remarkable development of the museum as an institution in the United States within recent years, a development which demonstrates the wisdom as well as the courage of the few who like Professor Moore were the pio neers in this field of public work long before the necessity for the development of such an institution was generally recognized.

An effort is being made to secure an additional consignment of about fifteen tents to relieve the situation, but it is improbable that these will arrive before next week.

Two hundred fifty-two tents and spaces have been rented and requests from both city and county are still coming in. Amie Tschaen, out-of-town advertis ing manager is finding great interest in the surrounding community where he is still receiving calls for hundreds of programs. Sales of tickets are coming up to the average, all the merchants having sold a number. Prince Of Wales Sets Sail For Canadian Tour PORTSMOUTH. England, August 6.

The Prince of Wales sat beside his mother and the two talked much about the trip and the sights awaiting the Prince on his tour. The Renown was in gala flag dress, the Union Jack fluttering from her bow mast.

HOG PRICES DROP $1.50 ON MARKET HERE IN TWO DAYS

Hog prices dropped 81-50 a hundred pounds on the local market in the last two days, according to Rome Shurley of Gaar and Shurley stockyards, Wednesday. The greatest break came Tuesday when hogs dropped $1.0u in price. Wednesday the price went down 60 cents more. Hogs that sold for 322.50 on the local market Friday brought $20.50 today, Shurley Said. Eight hundred hogs were sold at the Richmond yards last week. Uncertainty of prices, and threats of rail strikes have deterred farmers from marketing in great quantities so far this week. While it is impossible to guage the probable break in price during the day they take a chance at the price that is offered at nearby markets, according to Shurley. Up to the present time the yards have not been affected by the strike of railroad employes, it was said Wednesday. All Returned Soldiers Are Not Placed In Positions The employment situation in Richmond is tightening up considerab'r, according to W. S. Rayle, Y. M. C. .'i. returned service men's secretary. During the first six days of Augu. t Rayle had eleven calls from men waning jobs. Seven of these men he placed and the others including a high grade orfice man, a high grade farmer especially fitted for dairy work and bee culture, and two young married men wishing farm work, are not established. Rayle hopes to place all the men by the end of the week. A month ago, however, he was having as many as seven or nine Inquiries a day and was able to place nearly all men imediately. More applications are coming in from near-by towns and the country than are coming from Richmond, and Rayle says it appears that most of the men who want jobs have them here. ' A majority of the applicants now ore newly returned soldiers. Several have just been released from camp3 in this country, and a few have been back some time but have not been emplayed. Macey Booster Of Farm Truck Against Tractor Harry Macey, president of the Wayne county branch of the state farmers federation, is a booster of the farm truck against the farm tractor, he says. The only thing that the tractor can do that the truck cannot is to plow, says Macey, and it is really handy for this only in the case where plowing is needed in a hurry. The truck furnishes a flexible source of power, for many farm purposes, is worth several teams for transporting large amounts of pro duce or things needed on the farm, is faster than the horse, In a hurry, and can be used in many other ways, he says. Farmers Federation May Meet Sept. 1, Says Macey The Wayne county branch of tbe farmers' federation will probably have a meeting about September 1, said Harry Macey, president, who was in the city Wednesday. He has had no word from the state federation, he said, about the quota f.r the $200,000 fund, which the state federation has announced it will raise, nor has he heard from Purdue on the question of a county agent. Steady growth is being enjoyed by the county federation, Macey sa'd, and another drive for members :s planned this fall. How to Can Rhubarb (U. S. Department of Agriculture) Rhubarb for canning should have grown quickly and be very tender. Cut in lengths to fit the jar or in twoinch pieces. Pack in a jar which has been boiled for fifteen minutes. Only glass-top Jars should be used with rhubarb because of the action of the acid. Cover with fresh, cold water and allow jar to stand ten minutes. Drain off the water and again fill to overflowing with fresh cold water. Put rubber in place. (Rubber should first be boiled for fifteen minutes in a soda bath made with one tablespoon soda to one quart of hot water) Because of its extreme acidity, rhubarb can be canned safely without heat. Rhubarb contains much water and a better product and one more economical of can space can be secured by canning rhubarb sauce. Cut rhubarb into one-inch pieces and steam until tender. Add one cup sugar to one quart of sauce. Pack hot in processed jars. Put on jar rubber and top which has been sterilized, and place one wire bail In position. Boil (process) quart Jars in a hot water bath for ten minutes in a steampressure canner or hot water bath canner. If a washboiler or lard can is used for the processing, put jars on false bottom of wood. Have the hot water come over the tops of the jars. Start to count time of processing after the water is boiling. When Jars are cold test for leaks. Store in a cool, dark and dry place. Henry 3. Pohlmeyer Barry C Downing Ora B. Etegall Murray O.

WHEAT CROP IN U. S. NOT SHORT SAYS DIRECTOR

Billion Bushels Assured No Hope for Reduction in Price is Seen. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. Director Julius Barnes of the United States grain corporation, in making public his statement regarding the world wheat situation, said that the wheat crop in the United States is not short and that 1.000,000,000 bushels were assured. There was no warrant, he said, however, for statements that the price had been inflated. He announced definitely that as far as be could see there was no hope for a reduction in the near future, and that he would not sell wheat at a price below the guarantee. Figures were given on the world price by Mr. Barnes as follows: Average farm price to American farmer under guarantee, $2.05 per bushel. Average farm price In the United Kingdom during the last calendar year, $2.28. Average farm price for four big producing countries. United States, Canada, Argentina and Australia, producing 1,500,000,000 bushels, $1.94. Average grower's price (largely guaranteed) of Europe's fifteen consuming countries, producing 800,000,000 bushels, $8.75. Average of all wheat growers, weighed according to the size of their contribution to the total crop of the world, works out an average world grower price of $2.46. Theory la Unsupported. There is no support for "the theory of intimate relation and Influence between wheat price and other foods," the statement said. Figures were presented to bear out Mr. Barnes's contention. "Britain, France and Italy," the statement continued, "all have artificially reduced flour and bread prices, buying their raw materials at the world's price and absorbing their loss by national taxes. Any sale of wheat or flour at reduced prices to them, would only save their national treasuries, while depleting ours, without any possible reflection on the bread price to their people, which is alreadv fixed." Mr. Barnes also gave figures to show the relation of the price of wheat to the price of bread and contended that bread now was the cheapest item in the diet. If all other foods were at the same rate as bread, the annual cost of food for each person would be about $50, or a total national food bill of $5,000,000,000 instead of $18.000.000,000. "This, of course, Is Impracticable." the statement continued, "but let us spend a few millions in teaching housewives and throughout schools how and what to buy to get food value at reduced expenditure and without sacrifice of taste and palatability."
