School Children to
Teach War Economy
By George Martin

| Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Aug. 2O.-Uncle Sam
has just recruited and trained an army
of 100000 American boys and girls,
who will be on duty at state and coun-
ty fairs everywhere this fall.
Their work now consists of helping
their fathers and mothers preserve,
pickle, dry and can the enormous sur
plus of America s war gardens. Their
work at the fairs will consist of prac-
teal demonstration of methods.
1t is estimated that this juvenile
army will exhibit its prowess and pro-
duets to about 20,0000O0 Americans.
They will be the principal attraction
at the series of food training camps
the department of agriculture is or
ganizing for every section Of the coun-
try for late August, September and
October.
The boys and girls in this great food
drive are the members of the thousands
of boys and girls clubs organized by
and working under the direcCIon of the
United States department of agricul-
ture
The national headquarters is at Wash
ington with a specialist of the juvenile
ex ension department in charge.
Each day at the food training camps
the children will can and dry food pro-
duets in different ways, giving the
public a correct idea as to how it
should be done.
The particular boys and girls who
will demonstrate for the state colleges
of agriculture and tor the government,
are now being chosen through series
of competitive tests in practically ev-
cry community in the country. These
contests are being held in the schools,
at community fairs and picnics, who
have shown by their work that they
are capable of discharging the tasks for
will give them, will be per-
mitted to demonstrate at the food train
ing camps.
In addition to this the girls will con-
duct exhibits and demonstrations on
home baking, cooking, methods of ar
ranging the canned and preserved
foods into balanced menus for the fam
lily, efficient home management, AMI
garment making.
The boys in addition to their work
in the field of canning and drying, will
conduct exhibits on poultry husbandry,
and the raising of farm crops, and
demonstrations with farm animals such
rs calves, pigs, sheep and horses.

TRAP AND FIELD NOTES
NO CLOSED SEASON.

There is no closed season for the clay
bird.
The trapshooter may shoot 12 months
in the year unhampered by game war
dens and certain that the size of his
bag will be limited only by his ability
to hit 'em.
Also, for the information of the be-
ginner, we will state that while any of
the four seasons is a good time for
starting in at this sport, winter has
this added adyantage-that the blue
rocks break with less provoeation when
they are well frozen.
If your fall hunting doesn't pan out
as well as you had hoped, it is probable
that taking up trapshooting will enable
you to do better with your chances next
fall. If you were hitting them about
as often as you saw them, attendance
at the club shoots will give you a
chance to enjoy every week the same
thrills Of satisfaction you felt when
a-field.
In the sunny Southland, once upon

White SOX LEAD REDS
BY TWO FULL GAMES
Team Is Weakened Bul Sill
Strong = Red SOx Fight
Best Underneath
(By H. G. Hamilton)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Aug. 20.-The question
whether the Red or White Sox carried
the greater amount of nerve win be set
tied in the deadliest of series that begin
today in Chicago.
A display of cast iron feelings stuck
out now and carried down through Sep
tember will give the White Sox the
right to meet the National league pen
nant winner in the world Is series. A
false step now and they might as well
begin to make plans for next year.
The Chicago Sox have kicked away
several chances to sew up the race, but
today, in spite of their failings, they
lead the procession by two full games
They now are scheduled at home for
stretch that will carry them up to
September II The list Of games should
mean a flag.
Injuries to Buck Weaver and shat
tered pitching staff have made the
White Sox task hard, but the season
gives them a well developed edge over
the Red Sox in series played in Chiea-
go. However, the present series is one
of the kind that can hardly be measured
with that rule. The Red Sox, history
proves, have won their last two pen
nants in the face of just such odds
as they are called upon today to bat
tie.
They have the determination and no
nerves. They compose one of the great
est "money teams the game ever
knew" If they should slaughter the
White Sox no one would be greatly sur
prised.
Ernie Shore probably will be sent
against the White Sox in today's en-
counter, with chance pointing at Eddie
Cicotte for the Chicagoans
