Buy Kid Gloves
For Xmas GIVING
This Is the Time to

For more than one reason, you are urged
to buy Gloves! Gloves! Gloves land buy
them NOW!
One reason is that we are now facing the
very grave uncertainty of whether or not
we shall be able to replenish our stocks
with the full assortments they now con-
tain-some popular lines or colors in stock
now we know we cannot duplicate.
Then. again, is the ser;ols situation Gre
ated by advance on top of advance of Glove
prices since even before the present season
opened-and the end is not yet.
The fact that we can and do, buy Gloves
Of quality as cheaply as any house in Amer
lea has nothing to do with the situation; it
is simply this: If one waits till one or two
weeks to Christmas to buy GIoves-for
gifts or any purpose-one will be lucky if
thy find what they want at any price.
And SO it is that security against disap-
pointment, as well as economy, demands
that orders for Christmas Gloves be placed

War relief funds of the Red Cross
and the Y. NJ. C. A. are to receive
another boost tonight from the pro-
ceeds of the Bachelors Romance"
play staged in the High School audi
torium by the school dramatic club.
The play is strictly a benefit perform
ance, and except for about $40 incl
dental expenses, the entire proceeds
will go to the war work fund on the
basis of 70 per cent to the Red Gross
and 80 per cent to the Y. NJ. G. A.
The play is put on under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Golde E. Mccoy. Music
will be furnished by the High School
orchestra under the leadership of Miss
Minerva Hall.
The story of the play is based on
the winning of a $4,000 literary
prize, the plot being complicated with
the interviewer threads of three love
stories According to Mrs. Mccoy the
play is well cast and will not only
rebound to the credit of the partici7
pants but will furnish an evenings
entertainment well worth ones time
and money.
The faculty has not gone off and
left the students to their own devices
in pushing this play but have instead
got both shoulders to the wheel in
their efforts to make the play a sue

dent get-together innovation which
was installed at the school this year.

which began operation Thursday.
Other results of the movements are
cooperation of the faculty in stu

kinds, a series of war work speeches
for the students, and the establish

those students who hear the call to
arms.

MOVE CATTLE NORTH
Santa Fe Rushing Stock Out of Dry
Area in Texas.

Amarillo, Tex, Nov. 23-The Santa
Fe railroad has shipped 1881 cars of
livestock thru Amarillo in the week
ending yesterday and 531 empty cars
were sent west and south over the
Clayton division, each division hand
ling an average of 1OS cars a day dur
ing the week. This has not entirely
relieved the shortage of cars, tho the
conditions have greatly improved.
In large area south of here there
is no grass, no present prospects of
pasture next year. Trains of covered
wagons, carrying everything that
migrating families could move, have
been going out of the dry area for
months past.
The upper plains are in splendid
condition so far as crops and range
are concerned. but there is need just
now for cotton meal cake for the cat
tie. Big ranchmen who placed large
orders months ago have been unable
to get cake. The board of city de-
velopment of Amarillo wired for re-
lief to Edward Peden, of Houston,
state food administrator, and he in
turn sent the appeal to Mr.. Hoover
at Washington. The government has
confiscated considerable cotton seed
meal in the ports of Galveston and
Port Arthur that had been assigned to
neutrals in Europe, and is having this
meal placed with the promise of de-
livery at as early date as cars can be
found.
Washington, Nov. 23-Railroads in
Texas today were ordered by the
priorities board to give preference in
transportation, beginning tomorrow,
to all shipments of cotton seed cake
and cotton seed meal for points in
Texas and New Mexico over all other
traffic except livestock and perish
ables, human foodstuffs railroad sup
plies and materials, coal and govern
ment SHIPMENTS.

HAS THEM GUESSING
Draft May Put Rollers Under Major
Teams Next Season.

Cincinnati O., Nov 23.-"Baseball
can be made to play an important role
for the United States in war time and
believe Ban Johnson's plan of ask
ing the government to exempt eigh-
teen players for each major league
team from army service may help
keep the game alive" said Garry
Hermann, chairman of the national
commission, today.
None of US can say right now what
effect the next call TO arms will have
on baseball. We may not be hit as
hard as Johnson seems to think we
will be. But if we are, I believe the
two leagues will get together on john
sons proposal, or some angle of it,
and appoint a committee to see what
can be done in the way of retaining
enough players to keep the game go
ing.
Baseball can be made a source OF
considerable revenue for the govern
ment if the high standard of the game
is maintained and it also can be a good
work in helping entertain the soldiers
in camp.
81 am certain major league baseball
will not operate on as large a scale
next year as in recent season For
some time 1 have felt we will have to
cut down the number of players on a
club. JohnsOn's suggestion of eigh-
teen men team strikes me as being
about the right number"
Hermann added he believes major
league baseball will be preserved next
season, but that considerable time
must elapse before the way of keeping
it going can be worked out

GOV. BR0UCH SIGNS
 NEWPORT lEVEE BILL

Little Rock, March 1.-The gov ernor yesterday signed the Newport levee bill. There was considerable opposition to the bill, and some of the opponents of the district have made the statement that it will bring about county seat contest between Newport and Tuckerman. A petition was filed asking for the passage of the act, and investigation shows that 60 per cent of the property in the district is represented by the signers of the petition. It is said that 75 per cent of the citizens are opposed to the act, but they do not represent majority of the taxable values.
