Would Keep Canadian
Grain Within Empire
OTTAWA. Ont., Oct. Canada's grain
ahould be kept within the RrlUah empire
for fear that otherwise It might find Its
way Into the hands of England's enemy
In war. In the opinion of the Baakatchawan
Grain Growera' association.
It was learned today that a memorial
had been prepared for the situation by
Sir George R. Foster, minister of trade
and commerce', asking that the dominion
government arrange to co-operate with
the Brittah government to sell Canadian
grown grain direct from the farmer of
the prairie provinces at a price of 21 per
buahel for i wheat and M centa for oats
for thse next three years.
The memorial point out tho atorage
facilities at the disposal of the Canadian
government and urges that the harvest
ahould be secured for the empire's needs
rather than be exported Into the United
States whence It might be ahlpped aboard
and reach Germany.

Council Bluffs
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 8. Today's
weather predictions for the world's series
base ball game here tomorrow and Sat
urday saddened the hearts of the fans.
They were for low hanging clouds with
occasional light rain.
Chick" Davles, the young Now Eng-
tand college player. Is the latest to go on
the hospital list of players. Physicians
diagnosed his ailment as catarrh of the
appendix. Davles was advised to submit
to an operation for appendicitis, but he
has refused to think of It until after the
big series is over. Davies Is a pitcher, but
Maek Is developing him as an outfielder.
Managers Stalling and Mack had a
torrid conversation over the telephone to
day, according to the leader of the Boston
ten. Stalling said Mack called him up to
protest against Interviews In newspapers
In which Stalling characterized Mack's
refusal to let the National league cham
pions practice af Shibe park this after
noon "as unsportsmanlike." Mack at
tempted to "call him down" snid Stall
lngs, for such talk and hot words fol
lowed. The Boston manager appeared to
be greatly worked up.
Take Place. In Lin.
More than a score of fans took
their position In a line outside of
the bleacher entrance to Shit pork last
night. It was more than thirty-six hours
before tho time set for the opening of
the gates for the Initial contest when
George Ross of Camden, N. J., took his
place at the head of the line.
A cold, drisxllng rain, which fell Inter
mittently during the night made It very
uncomfortable for the prospective pur
chasers of bleacher seats, and many of
them sought protection on tho porches of
nearby residences. In spite of the fact
that they had spent long, weary hours
waiting for the opening of the reserve
seat sale, several of the same men and
boys were noticed In the bleacher line
today.
"peculators Are Arrested.
Hundreds of the reserve seat tickets
fell Into the hands of speculators, who
are aaking 2.15 for a set of three $6
tickets. The price for a set of 23 seats
was 226 and for three 22 tickets SIB was
asked Several arrests already have been
made, and the Athletic management an
nounced that they would prosecute the
prisoners to the full extent of the law.
Never before. It was said, has there
been such a demand for admission to the
big games. Thousands of persons were
unable to purchase tickets, and dissatis
faction with the arrangement of the sale
was heard from many quarters.
All the players of both teams were said
to be In the beat of condition, with the ex
ception of Smith, Boston's third baseman,
wno i in a urooKiyn hospital witn a
broken ankle. His place, however, will
be ably filled. Manager Stalling declared,
by Deal, who waa described as an artful
and courageous player, although not pos
sessing, the hitting ability of Smith.
Itfclnnls Ready to Play,
afclnnls, th Athletics' first baseman,
has not played In s. regular game for
ten days on aooount of an Injured hand
but It was stated positively today that he
would bo In the line when the Athletics
fsoed tho Braves for the opening contest
tomorrow.
While neither managwr haa Intimated
who the pitching selection for the first
gam will be. It was generally believed
by base ball followers that this honor
would fall to Bender, the Athletics' vet
eran Indian twirler. and Rudolph or
James, stars of the Boston pitching staf
The Athletic team, in all probability, will
be the same nine men who started the
world's series last year against the New
Tork Giants.
There appears to b very little betting
on the series. The Mackmen are the pre
vailing favorites at long odda In the wag
ers that ara being made. Several large
amounts, however, hav been placed on
single games.
In If Harry la Boston.
BOSTON, Oct. 8 The fortunate pos
sessors of approved application for world
series seats were In no hurry today to
exehange them for tickets, the manage
ment allowing them until Monday fore
noon to "cash In."
Less than a score of holders of appli
cation cards wore In lino when th box
offtc opened and at no time during the
dsy was there a rush. Speculators lined
tho streets loading to Fenway park with
offers to buy either tickets or approved
application cards. For sevaral hours ther
was a near approach to a curb exchange
with bids ranging between 300 and $00 per
cent above oar purchase prices.
The management reported that SJOO
applications for IS, 23 and $3 seats en

Yellowjackets Are
Out in Full Force
Millions of yellow Jackets are swarming
around' Council Bluffs. Their numbers
have been so great that in some Instances
they have' driven painters from buildings
upon which they were working.
On the north side of the Auditorium
building- for the last few days the Insects,
seeking winter quarters In tho Interstices
of the outer walls, have collected In such
numbers that they have resembled
swarms of bees. Myriads of them creep
into homes through the smallest aper
tures around window and door screens.
They belong to the hornet family, vindic
tive, oulck to resent Intrusion upon their
nesting places and abundantly abhi to
punish the Intruders, but reared for years
under sheltering gables and window
ledges of human abooes, great psycho
logical changes have taken place in their
natures. They will not attack a person
except upon great provocation, and then
only In self-defense. The number are
indicated by a swarm that literally filled
a vacant store building on South Main
street when it? was opened yesterday. At
tention was attracted by a steady stream
of them entering through a keyhole.
When opened tho room was found to con
tain thousands of them.

to II aire Water to Float
Sewsujre.
There win be no further official testing
of the new West End sewer system until
some means are found to secure a suf
ficient amount of water to keep one of
the pump) at tho lifting station of Sixth
avenu In operation for at least more
than" ten minutes. This decision was
reached at a meeting of the city council
aa a committee of the whole yosterday
afternoon. The Water board refused to
permit the use of the water from the
city mains unless paid for.
In an unofficial test made a few days
ago 1.500,000 gallons of city water was
poured into th sewers above the pump
ing station. It required this amount to
fill the pipe, and when the pumps were
started, it was gone In less than fifteen
minutes. It waa sucked up by th
pumps, lifted to th main discharge
thirty-alx-inoh sewer and sent on its
way to the Missouri river. The pump
waa beginning to attain the moat ef
ficient speed when the water supply was
exhausted. It began to suck air.
Although the big Snow pump at the
Lcentral pumping station of the water
plant was working1 th level of the stor
age basin In Fairmount park rapidly de
otlned and Superintendent Etnyre was
obltfe-ed to call a halt to prevent a
scarcity of water for the regular service.
The shop test of the pumps was made
In the presence of Engineer Klersted at
Kansas City, who designed the plant and
acted as the city's representative. He
pronounced them to be fully up to the
required specifications. In accords, two
with the terms of the contract, this test
was sufficient, but Contractor Wlckham
wanted a practical test under working
conditions and ha insisted on the tryouk
that he has been trying to bring about.
Aldermen Stone, Hochman, Kelly and
Hardin expressed their conviction In the
committee meeting yesterday that a se
vere publio test was demanded to satisfy1
the taxpayers that the ' system is scien
tifically and mechanically perfect and
will do all that is exr-eoted of it. Con.
tractor Wlckham is sr xlou to show that
it will do more than will be required.
Plans for securing; a sufficient amount
