WHEAT OUT OF GAME.

Brooklyn. N. Y., May 23.-zach Wheat, ono of the greatest outfelders in the game today. will not don a uniform for some time to come. He has been out of the lineup for the past week with an injured side. but when Manager Robinson needed pinch hitter in the ninth inning of Mondays game Wheat told him he felt we'll enough to take a slam at the ball.

President Writes New YOrk NeWs-
 paper Man That He Is Opposed to
 Abandonment of College Sports.
 Washington, May 23.-wholesale abandonment of college and school athletic sports during the war Is not advisable, President Wilson believes, not because of their value to divert tho American people, but because they contribute to national defense. In . letter to Lawrence Perry, of the New York Evening Post, made public yesterday, the president said:
 T entirely agree with the conclu- sion contained in your letter of May 15. I would be sincerely sorry to see the men and boys in our colleges and schools give up their athletic sports. and hope most sincerely that the normal course of college sports will be continued as far as possible, not to afford a diversion to the American people in tho days to come, when we shall no doubt have our share of mental depression, but as a real con- tribution to the national defense, for our young men must be made physi- cally it in order that later they may take the place of those who are now of military age and exhibit the vigor and alertness which we are proud to have as the characteristic of our young men.

ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE PUBLIC.

To the Patron. and Public of St. Tammany Ice and
Manufacturing Co.:
The St. Tammany Ice and Manufacturing 20. de-
sres to to the public generally the reasons
for the inadequate pressure on its present water sup
DIV to it's customers
On February IL, 1917, this company ordered from
the Fairbanks Morse & Co., of New Orleans La,
certain 9xl4x10x12 Duplex Pump at an approximate
cost of 1000
In a series of correspondence between this COM
pany and the manufacturer, which is too extensive
to set forth in this space but which is filed for pub
lie inspection at the Town Hall, it will appear that
the unsettled market conditions we'll as the difficult
ty of the manufacturer to secure raw materials for
turning out the pump such that, according to let
ter received July 31st, 1917, no definite promise
will be assured to when this pump will be OBJ
tanned, although suggestion is made that perhaps
by the latter part of September some relief can be
looked for
In the meantime this company has, since the plac-
ing of the order for pump above referred to, as
sembled various parts costing in the neghborhood of
$500 to be placed on the present pump, but which
cannot be utilized until the installation of the Du
pick pump above referred to without absolute
shutting down Of the plant for period of not less
than weeks time. This seems to be the only altern
alive lef if an immediate high power pressure de-
manded by the public.
A decision on this point can only be reached by
some definite and concerted act of our patrons by
which they will make known their will to the COM
pany In which event, should they elect to put up
with the inconvenience Of the closing down of the
plant for repairs, they must be advised that fire pro-
lection which at all times is so urgent, would be
duced to dependence upon purely local conditions for
water.
It is the earnest desire of this company to give the
best service to the public and its patrons, and if in
diligence from further criticism can be restrained
during the next thirty days it is than possible
that the inconvenience consequent to the delay of
the new pump will be overcome by that time.
Respectfully,
St. Tammany Ice & Mfg. Co.,

Marketing Assistance To Be Ex-
tended.
Producers will be given advice by
the Bureau of Markets regarding
improved methods of packing and
handling food products. The blu
reau also will extend its market
news service to include grain. hay,
and seeds, dairy and poultry pro-
diets, and to cover more fully vege-
tables and fruits and meats and meat
products, and will assist in solving
local truck marketing problems.
These services will make public facts
as to supply, demand, and move
ment of food products, intended to
help in the elimination of the lost
motion and economic wastes exist
ing in the marketing machinery of
the country. The bureau also Will
help producers and consumers to
the parcel post.
With the extra funds furnished by
this act the Bureau of Plant Indus
try will greatly increase its war
against destructive plant diseases
which annually bring about the loss
of considerable proportions of the
| crops of the. country. The bureau
also will seek to bring about increas-
ed conservation of food products by
encouraging natural storage and
drying of the products best suited
to these methods of preservation.
Conserving Farm roducts and
Ami Is
Under the food production act the
departments work for the conserva-
ton of farm products, including live
| stock, will be greatly extended. The
States Relations Service will add to
its staff many county and city agents
who will give instructions and dem
onstrations to all parts of the coun-
try in canning, drying. and the prep
aratiion Of food products in other
forms which will protect them
against sp0lage. The Bureau of
Markets will seek to reduce losses
due to faulty handling, packing.
shipping and marketing. The Blu
reau of Plant Industry will endeavor
! to arouse interest in the matural
storage during the fall and winter
months of semi4perishable products.
Forces making for the conservation
| of i've stock and animal products will
be put into operation by the Bureau
of Animal Industry. This work will
include, as already mentioned, cam
paigns for the reduction of losses of
live stock from animal diseases, loss
es of eggs through faulty handling
and from failure to produce Enfertle
eggs and movements to assist In the
more economical distribution of
hogs. In the latter work field agents
Of the Bureau of Animal Industry
will bring together owners of sur
plus hogs and farmers having facili-
ties for raising more hogs. This
should result in the distribution of
the surplus stock from regions Of
heavy animal production and expen-
sve feed to parts of the country
where animal industry is not we'll
developed and where pasturage and
feed are relatively abundant and
cheap. The bill also makes pro-
vision for the extension of other
lines of the work of the department.
