Want WILMINGTON IN
Old BALL Came AGAIN

Efforts are being made by some
local men interested in league base
ball for Wilmington again to secure
the old South Side Park grounds,
over Market street bride. For many
years it has been the hope OF local
men to have Wilmington represented
in a league again. but owing TO the
fact that no suitable grounds could
be gotten, the plan had TO be aban-
dOned.
The Front and Union grounds drew
small crowds while the Tri-State
team was here.
That Wilmington will be represent
ed in one of the leagues is almost
certain for 1t is understood that back
ers for club in AL. Lawson's new
circuit have already been sought
here. It could not be ascertained
whether they have been found or
who they really are. Fans of this
city are looking forward to seeing
some fast team in a strong organiza-
tion placed here this season.

UNITED STATES IS
FEEDING THE WORLD
Despite Short Crops Is Ex-
porting More Food Stufs
Than Ever Before


Washington, Nov. 17.-With an in
crease of $50 per cent in exports of
meats since the outbreak of the war
and with constantly greater proper
tion of her grain crops leaving the
country, America is assuming an even
greater share of the burden Of feeding
stricken Europe.
This, in the wake of short crops, is
given by government officials as one
of the foremost reasons for high prices
on foodstuffs.
During the first eight months of this
year-ending with September THE
United States has shipped abroad more
than $200,000,000 worth OF meats and
dairv products. This presages a total
expectation of these products for the
year of nearly a third of a billion dol
lars. During the same eight months per-
iod of 1914, just preceding the outbreak
of the war these exports totalled but
$50 100000.
Even with a season OIL unusually poor
crops in practically every grain, the
United States has contributed a great
er share this year, proportionately, than
at any time during the period of the
war and ever before in its history. Ex-
portation OF the six major grains
wheat, corn, barley, rye, oats and buck
wheat, thus far this year has approxi-
mately doubled since 1914.
Shipments of vegetables abroad also
have jumped by leaps and bounds. Dur
ing the eight months period of this year
$l1 1,75S,2S7 worth of vegetables has left
American ports, against $7,750,00O last
year, and $5,4l3,271 in l9l4-a rise of
more than one hundred per cent during
the war.
The American hen also has been call
ed upon to do her bit Against an ex-
portation of So, ll7,0 900 in the first eight
months of 1914, the United States has
shipped $3,450,000 worth Of eggs during
the like period this year.
In conjunction with the increased ex-
portation of eggs, it is reported from
many farming districts throughout the
country that laying this year has been
below normal. Storages also are far be-
low average for this time of year, the
agricultural department reporting fall
ing off of 24.2 per cent in the number
of eggs stored, indicating thousands of
eggs previously stored are now being
shipped abroad.

that should the Adamson eight hour

great vaudeville magnate was present,
she split five cards held in the fingers
of her partner, she shooting a regular
% caliber Remington rifle and a solid
lead bullet cartridge. This was a special
test of her wonderful ability, she how
ever does a great many more shots with
a rifle or pistol at every performance
that are equally if not harder. For in
stance, she shoots six small targets out
of her partner fingers, shoots small
targets out of his mouth and off the
head. Introduces series of shots
guaged by the reflection in a mirror,
these at both moving and stationary
objects. Strikes two different targets at
the same time shooting rifle and pistol
together.
This act is entirely different than
any other Of its kind and is really in
teresting and entertaining. While it
is thriller, it is safe and sound as far
as the audience is concerned, as for the
party holding the targets, his job may
be all right but from comment of peo-
pie who have seen this act they all
would rather it. be he holding them
than they.
Let it be understood right here that
this is real shooting, not trick OF
fake as is commonly thought. If any
one is doubling the realness of this
shooting let them hold few of the
targets to be shot OUT of their mouth
fingers and off the head and they will
change their minds.

NOVEMBER 50 IS
THANKSGIVING DAY
President Calls On Americans
to Aid In Relieving the
Distressed

Washington, Nov. 7.-Calling upon
America to Contribute out of our
abundant means, to the relief of those
living in belligerent nations, upon
whom the curse and terror of war has
so pitilessly fallen" President Wilson
today issued his thanksgiving procla-
nation.
He set November 30 as the date for
Thanksgiving. His appeal for its OBJ
servance follows:
at has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
of the year in praise and thanksgiving
to Almighty God for His many bless
ings and mercies to us as nation. The
year that has elapsed since we last OBJ
served our day of thanksgiving has
been rich in blessings to us as peo'
pie, but the whole face of the world
has been darkened by war. In the midst
of our peace and happiness our thoughts
dwell with painful disquiet upon the
struggles and sufferings of the nations
at war and of the peoples upon whom
war has brought disaster without choice
or possibility of escape on their part
| We cannot think Of our own happines:
without thinking also of their pitifu
distress.
"Now, therefore, I. Woodrow Wilson
president of the United States of Am
erica, do appoint Thursday, the thir
tieth of November, as day of nationa
! thanksgiving and prayer and urge ant
advise the people to resort to their sew
eral places of worship on that day t
render thanks to Almighty God for thu
blessings of peace and unbroken pros
peritv which He has bestowed upoi
our beloved country in such unstinte'
measure. And also urge and sugges
our duty in this, our day of peace anC
abundance, to think in deep sympath.
of the peoples of the world upon whom
! the curse and terror of war has so pit
| ilessly fallen, and to contribute out o.
our abundant means TO the relief .
their sufferings. Our people could, in M
better way. show their real attitude to
ward the present struggle of the ma
tions than by contributing out OF thei
abundance to the relief of the suffer
ings which war has brought in its train
/ "In witness whereof have hereunt'
set my hand and caused the seal o.
4 the United States TO be affixed.
4 "Done at the City of Washington
this seventeenth day of November, il

nine hundred and sixteen and of th'
independence of the United States, tn
