AMERICAN PHYSICIANS
 TREAT FRENCH VILLAGERS
(By J. w Pegler, United Press Staff
 Correspondence

With the American EXpeditionary Army, France, Oct. 27, (By Mail.)- American doctors this winter will try to clean up the civilian population of the American zone. Their success in the job depends largely upon the tactful handling of delicate situation. During three years of war the civ- ilian doctors of most of France have been with the armies. In their ab- sence from the civil districts many cases of disease have run either un- checked or with inadequate attention. Ailments have spread to many vic tims who in ordinary times would not have contracted them.
 With American troops moving into these dozens of tiny, isolated farming towns it became necessary as a pro tection for our troops. In pursuance of the program decided upon, our doc tors have opened dispensaries where civilians are sgiven free treatment for whatever ails them.
 If the French villagers were to think themselves the objects of charity or of a mechanical cleanup campaign, scores of sufferers would never apply for treatment. It is by tactful inquiry among the population that our people expect to find out who is suffering and by diplomatic handling of the situation they hope to encourage the people to come around and apply for treatment

PRESCOTT HI OvERWHELMS
 GURD0N; SCORE q ID s

Prescott won her first game against Gurdon Hi yesterday afternoon by a score of 57 to 6. The teams were evenly matched in weight, but not in skill.
 Prescott started off with a rush. Hamilton caching a forward pass from Haynie and scoring a touchdown in the first four minutes of play. Roseman followed with another four minutes later. Then one after another each of the back field men made one apiece. Meanwhile Roseman was making three more, and when the game was nearly ended Graham was called back and rushed through Cur don for another. Haynie kicked three of the goals from touchdowns.
 The only marring play for Prescott was when Hamilton caught forward pass and had run 70 yards for a touch down only to be called back because Graham had held would-be tackler.
 The only feature for Gurdon was the work of the referee and umpire, who gave Gurdon their only score. J. Majors, Spears, the referee and um- pire, starred for Gurdon. For Pres colt Roseman played great offensive and defensive game, although he hurt both knees. Haynie made some fine runs and passes. Parker hit the line hard every time. billiard made good runs and plunges. Hamilton played great game on the offensive, but was not tried very much on the defensive. Jones did some good tackling, one of his hard tackles being responsible for a touchdown. Graham made up for his only misplay by making a great run and doing some fine tackles. Cox, the chubby tackle, fought like tiger and hardly ever let man get through him.
 Gurdon could not go through Stew art and Scott at guard. Husky played
  his usual fine game at center. though he hurt his knee. Whitmarsh, sub ping for Cox, also played a good game.
 Captain Bemis was unable to play yesterday on account of his jaw bone being broken in the Texarkana game. Haynie acted as captain.
 The girls and boys. chaperoned by Misses Pitcock and Hesterly, strained their lungs yelling for the victors. At eight o'clock the boys and girls were entertained delightfully."- by the Gurdon boys and girls at the home of Mir. and Mrs. w. J. Stone and came home on No. 3, all saying they had a fine time in Gurdon.
 The lineup for Prescott was as follows
 R. e., Hamilton; r. t., Graham; r. g.. Stewart; C., Husky; l. g., Scott; l. t., Cox, Whitmarsh; l. e.. Jones; r. h., Roseman; f. b., Parker; q h., Haynie; l. h., billiard.

Win Bring Greatest Exhibit To National Farm and Live
 Stock Show.

The United States Is coming te tho National Farm and Live Stock Show at Now Orleans. Nov. 1919. preparod to tell the farmer all it knows, and 10 illustrate the reason fer all that it asks and advises.
 This is the first time that the Unit. ed States has sent its great agricul tural exhibit to this section. This Is war time and the government Is very busy. It is spsring the time and the men because it realizes that the south is bound to be the main food source of the future, and it believes that by coming to New Orleans 1t will be abls
 to reach most of the south at one time.
 The United States department of fagriculture had a great display at the Panama Pacific Exposition, and thou
 sands voted it revelation and mar. vel. The exhibit has been made much larger for the approaching occasion. It
 will be like veritable four-ring cir.
 GUS of agricultural acts and features, and it will have dozens of experts along to explain the displays and give l further information. 1t will run the
 finest kind of a moving picture show | all day. and it will have frequent lee | lures in addition. There will even be [ chiefs of departments like Dr. George II. Rommel, head of the animal hus-
 bandry bureau, and probably Dr. Brad
 ford Knapp of the states relations ser.
 vice. and others.
 AS the exhibit will crowd 12.00O square feet of space, and will be complete fair in itself it would require book to give the details Wherever | the products themselves are not used. there arc artificial duplicates, and there are models of all sorts of build,
 ings to serve as guides to the farm CTS. There ere collections of all the | insects that affect crops, stuffed ant, mals and birds that have direct bear.
 ing on agriculture, miniature orchards and forests, and a thousand other things. Meat inspection is shown III all its phases. with a tiny sbbatoir M action. There are types of barns and other buildings and equipment best
 suited to farm dairying, Poultry will have almost first place, not only the ideal structures being shown, but some of the very latest discoveries on the poultry experiment farm which tho l government operates near Washing ton. Reforestation is exploited in picturesque way. and the growing O. bacco industry is visualized in various ways. An entirely new exhibit com.
 pares and explains the newly estab. lished grades of cotton. The boys and
 girls clubs will be treated in their na. tional aspect, affordng a medium of I comparison as well as example. The
 good roads display will be of immense
 service. especially as 1t will treat with
 construction material and methods as
 we'll as the benefits which follow. Uncle Sam determined that if he
 would stop in his war rush to get up
 fair exhibit he would get up one
 that would De of as much help and
 inspiration as possible; and the people can make it of more service by taking
 fullest advantages of it's important lessons and demonstrations.

FANS PREFER SLUGGING
 TO FREAK PITCHING
(By H. C, Hamilton, United Press
 Staff Correspondent.

New York, Nov. 10.-Day after day new falls are being taken out of the spitball, the particular delivery of baseball against which Gov. John K. Tener, president of the National League, has set his head.
 Some real support from the minor leagues is beginning to crop out, for E. w. Dickerson, president of the Western League, has gone into the list against the shower spreader. The Western League, while not powerful in a financial sense, has lot of power in the National Association, by reason of its age and the dignity that goes with it. Dickerson, while a new per sonalty in the leagues affairs, is an old head in the baseball game and re- cognized as something of leader. If he really carries out campaign of extermination against the spitball in his league and takes it into the minor league meeting this winter something probably will be heard from it.
 The recent worlds series games probably will be sufficient to open the big league campaign against the de- livery once more. While Eddie Cicotte was brought under the eyes of the umpires on several occasions he sue ceeded in keeping his delivery going over fairly well. Cicotte says himself there is nothing mysterious in his CO., called "shine ball' but he would have trouble convincing National Leaguers who had felt the tearing attack of John McGraw's huskies.

PRETTY WAR STENOS PROVE
 SHERMAN WAS ALL WRONG"
(By George Martin, United Press
 Staff CorrespondentO

Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Nov. 10.-The record of Americas part in the greatest war in history is being hammered out on government typewriters by the pret- t;est and smartest stenographers in the country
 There's dynamite in that statement. of course. But it's perpetrator will de- pend on the gratitude of the Washing ton stenogs to protect him from the wrath of the Washington group, and proceed with details.
 Of course, it is impossible to quote President Frank A. Vanderlip, of the National City Bank, now a treasury employe, or Food Administrator Her bert Hoover, or Chairman Howard Coffin, of the Air Board, or Edward N. Hurley of the Shipping Board, or Barney Baruch. But it's all right to camoufage and say that "big business men assembled here from all over the country say the click-click corps com prises the best looking and most effic- tent of the kind in America"
 The cream of the nations Georgette Crepe Battalions have come here. They have enlisted, powder puffs, and all for the duration of the war Sher- man didn't take everything into con- sideration when he uttered his we'll known definition. If you don't believe it, stroll down Fourteenth street any morning, or along Pennsylvania ave nue any evening, and be convinced.
 It's enough to make the man who said that brains and beauty are not pals, mighty sorry that he spoke. It's sufficient to make your head swim and your heart come to the surface and bounce around on the waves.
 Far be it from us to particularize. The holy bonds of matrimony and general acquaintance with at least couple of hundred of these typing tan tilizers demand broad generalities and nothing more.
 However, if you are curious, wander through the offices of the Council of National Defense. Take a peek around the Food Administration build ing, and the Fuel Administration.
 Nor has this galaxy, of The Glorious left Washington masculinity un- scathed. More than one snowy haired he-head has been turned and many, many youthful and semi-youthful hearts have been geared up to a mile "a minute gait, since America entered the war. And, it wasn't patriotism that did it, either. As one venerable and disgusted departmental chief put it:
 "They're making love while we're making war"
 Nor are the lads in uniform immune
 It is safe to say that Cupid, com paratively speaking, will at the end of the war be found to have scored as many casualties among flashing off cers with carefully aimed batteries of flashing eyes as Fritz. the Boche, will score against Uncle Sam. with his carefully aimed munitions.
 That may put it a bit strongly, but gosh it certainly looks reasonable from where we sit.

Big Attendance From Tropics Expected By National Fair
 Manager.

Indications are that a greater mum. Der of Latin-Am orleans will attend the National Farm and Live Stock Show, s: New Orleans, Nov. 70 to 1a, than have ever visited any fair in the Unit ed States. with the possible exception of the Panama-Pacific exposition. Own CTS of "haciendas" in South and Cen tral America, the West Indies and Mexico see in the New Orleans show an opportunity to acquire the superior grades of foundation live stock which all of them are seeking
 Wide publicity for the show has been achieved throughout all the Latin American republics. More than one hundred export houses in New Or. leans and other southern cities have assisted the fair management H the distribution of over 100,0 900 pieces of advertising literature tn Spanish and Portuguese. Advertising and news matter has been carried in a number of periodicals circulating in the tropics.
 Governor Pleasant Of Louisiana has extended to the presidents of the vari- Gus republics, with their staffs. an official invitation to be present. The great white fleet of the United Fruit Company, the Mexican Navigation Company. the Cuysmel Fruit Com, pany. Vaccaro Brothers, and other steamship lines are making special passenger rates for the term of the fair from all their ports, and also will make low rates on shipments of live stock purchased at the sales during the fair.
 Now that two great packing houses, Morris & Co. and Wilson & Co, have begun operations in New Orleans and are making that city the principal market for cattle imported from the tropics, a great impetus is being given stock production throughout the Latin republics. At the sams time logical reason has been Drought to exist why the Lat!n'Ainsriean raisers wlh regard the Crescent City as the best point of contact with the United States in all matters bsrtaipipg to the cattle fin. dustry. All the vnitA States con suls In tha Latin, ,AtasHean countries are aiding ln the distribution 9t infor- nation pertaining to ths New Orleans show.
 The Pan-Americsn Club of New Or leans will be host to the Latin-Amer ican visitors at the fair, and will pro vide interpreters. These visitors will be enrolled in the Live Stock Buyers Convention and will be among the most eager purchasers at the auction sales which will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Nov. l5 to F. Several hundred personal letters have been written by the fair management in response to inquiries from the Latin American territory.
 With the show covering such a great foreign field breeders in this country will find 1t an excellent medium for disposing of pure-bred live stock.
