Notes on the Game

The game was intended more or
less for a farce, but developed into
a rafting good exhibition of the ma
tional pastime.
DR.. Rounds was adorned in a pair
of stockings that would do credit to
a stage star. The doctor is the An-
nette Kellerman of his six and the
vari-coored hosiery drew marked at
tention to his we'll shapen ankles,
etc. Doe proved that he wasn't
in the outer gardens for display only
when he speared what looked like
sure two-bagger in the sixth frame
He also came through with two nice
singles during the fracas.
Lee Allen drew a pair of baseball
trousers that were devoid of pockets.
He had to carry his Piper Heidsick
in his stocking, al la Carrie Nation.
DR.. F. L. Ball played an exception
al game from the roofing bench.
Sanger got Coach Blaemasters
goat when he whitfield the U. athletic
mentor on two occasions. The coach
displayed his ire in great shape, too.
Prof. Isaacs and Forrest were us
ing the stomach massage machine in
the U. of l. gym after the game when
Coach Blaemaster took them to task
for using the machine for a back

Allen got by all right with the ma
chine.
The greater part of the audience
consisted of some 35 /. w. WIS who
were locked up in the bull pen"
near the diam fond. When the game
started they climbed to the top of
the fair grounds buildings and used
their lungs to good effect.

CONTROL OF FOOD PRICES
= -

government control of food supply.
The lowest winter wheat crop for
years, due to unfavorable weather, al
though on close to the largest acreage,
may be made up by increased spring
demand from our allies abroad, there
will be no oversupply for ourselves.
This holds good of most other foods.
Prices will probably be high enough
without being boosted further by
spectators. 1t will be Mr.. Hoover s
business to keep an eye on these gentry
and keep the country posted so that
there can be no duplication here OF
the hiding and boarding for specula-
tive purposes which has harried the
European nations.
Secretary Houston and the Depart
ment of Agriculture, aided by the Agri-
cultural Departments of the various
States, can do much to encourage the
farmers to increase production. But
the growers must in turn have assur-
ance of protection against exploiting
middlemen. The people expect to pay a
good price for food products, enough
to pay the farmer properly for his
labor and investment, but they are in
no mind to be held up by a lot of spec
ulative middlemen, who interject
themselves between the producer and
consumer. If there is no other way out
they will insist on the government
protecting the people by taking the
matter into its own control, as the
governments in Europe have been
forced to do-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

New Brunswick's smelt exports in

Japanese petroleum has recently
come into general use in South China
as result of the high freight rates on
American oil, which formerly supplied
the market.
Shanghai suffered from a coal ia
mine this winter, while in other dis
tricts of China fuel was cheap and

low water in the rivers, which made
the floating of loaded barges impos-
sible.
Peruvian exporters want a market

INTEREST IN HIGHWAYS

NOTHING more significant of the
IN increased interest in improved
highways with special refer
ence to the William Penn trunk line
across the State has come to the no.
tice of the TELEGRAPH than a SYM
postum of opinions printed by the
William Penn Highway Association in
the March bulletin. The opinions are
from Governor Brumbaugh, u. S. Sem
ator Penrose, Secretary of War Baker,
Governor Edge, of New Jersey, State
Highway Commissioner Black, Clifford
Pinchot, Major General Leonard
Wood, Senator Eyre, Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Roads, and Rep
resentative Robert S. Spangler, Chair
man of House Committee on Roads.
These leaders in public affairs indi-
cate through their statements the
widespread interest in the improve
ment of the highways of the Com
monwealth.
Governor Brumbaugh declares that
the mobilization of the troops of the
country cannot be accomplished sue
cessfully without the establishment of
great trunk line highways over which
artillery as we'll as infantry could pass
speedily and safely. Senator Penrose
declares the William Penn Highway
would constitute valuable unit in a
natural system of roads. In his opin-
ion this particular highway, in scenic
attraction and in commercial and in
dustrial value, would be unsurpassed
by any similar stretch of road in any
part of the country.
These opinions all strengthen the
purpose of the William Penn Highway
Association in urging the completion
of the proposed roadway from Phila-
delphia to Pittsburgh without unnec-
essary delay. Governor Brumbaugh
realizes the Importance of this road
and is familiar with every inch of it.

newspaper writers may enjoy turkey,
once or twice year we may have a
nice broiled steak with mushrooms;
yes. and every SO often a pot of boiled
cabbage. oh, not a very large pot, of
course, but still O pot. You may not
believe it, but we assure you it is true.
Time was when we hated boiled
cabbage with that deep and abiding
hatred the Kaiser is said to entertain
for England. Yea, we fairly strafed it.
But times have changed. If lobster
sold for five cents a pound there never
would have been a lobster palace
along Broadway and if terrapin could
be had for a nickel apiece nobody
would want them. So with boiled, cab
bage. When cabbage sold at three
cents the head, nobody ate it who
could afford something more expen-
sive. Now that it is worth its weight
in gold it has become great delicacy.
1t has even broken into poetry and we
sympathize with Francis Morrison, of
the Indianapolis Star, who sings thus
sadly of the days of plentitude of
cabbage which are now no more and
of his own lost opportunities to in
dulge his appetite therein:
Farewell! thou art too dear for my pos
sessing.
I called thee Observation-Disclosures
too late
I see thy price soar far beyond my
guessing;
And like enough thou knowest thy
estimate.
No more will thy rich fragrance. per-
meating
The block wherein 1 live, our humble
lunch betray:
No more will my proud family, zeal
abating,
aware, of thee, pause on their home
ward way,
Unless, perchance, sometimes, we may
be giving
A festive meal for some great, honor
ed guest.
Then will dare defy the cost of living
And thy fair name unto my cook suS-
gest,
Oh, one-time friend! whence comes this
dreadful ban?
Is it the. war or that archfiend, the
middleman?

PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM

| NAPTAlN HENRY NJ. STINE is a
~ practical patriot. Not only has
he donned the army uniform every
time there has been a call to service
since long before the Spanish War
days, but he has been and is an in
sistent and persistent advocate of pre-
paredness, not only in military way;
but for the civil population as well.
Several times recently the TELE-
GRAPH has urged upon the people of
this city the wisdom of employing one
or more garden experts to organize
the boys and girls of the city into
vegetable garden squads and teach
them how to use the vacant lots that
will be at their disposal the coming
spring and summer.
Captain Stine has been the first to
comply. Yesterday he brought to the
TELEGRAPH offices his hearty en-
dorsement of the plan-but he did
more than that, he brought also his
personal check for 500 with which to
start the fund.
That is patriotism of the practical
kind. Anybody can wave a flag and
cheer. Anybody can boast of his
AmeEcanism. Anybody can condemn
Germany and swear everlasting al
llegiance to Old Glory. But it requires
man of sincere loyalty, with the love
of country in his heart and the spirit
of sacrifice in his soul, to go down into
his own pocket for voluntary contri-
buttons of money with which to help
put the country in position to fight the
enemies of food shortage and unpre-
paredness within as well as armed
foes from without.
Captain Slime has started the ball
rolling. Who will give it another
push? Small contributions will be quite
as acceptable as large gifts. The
TELEGRAPH will cooperate with
the Agricultural Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce which has
taken up the work this newspaper has
recommended. Only competent in
structors and organizers will be en-
ployed. A dollar spent in this way
will earn immense dividends. Garden
ing must be understood to be success
full. Scores of city boys and girls and
men and women TOO, are desirous of
having gardens, but they know little
or nothing about planting and culti-
waiting. Paid instructors not only will
tell them how, but will make efforts
to arouse additional interest in gar
dening. The boys of Harrisburg must
do their bit" this summer. They
must be producers as we'll as con-
sumers. Money is needed to help
them. Who will be the next to follow
the admirable example of Captain
Slime?

LABOR AND THE WAR

THERE are strong indications that
organized labor intends to make
an earnest effort to avoid dis
putes that will end in strikes during
the progress of the war. President w.
s. Carter. of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
is quoted as saying, for example, that
the application of the eight-hour law
will be made by the Brotherhood lead
ers and the railroad officials sitting
together. They will debate the vari-
GUS points at issue and reach an ami
cable agreement With that both the
companies and the men will have to
rest content. This joint Cancellation
board will consider Fall disputes aris-
ing out of the application OF the

c. Hoover, head of the Belgian

He has had exceptional experience in
dealing with the Belgian problem and

and regulation of food supply. His
chief work will be to coordinate the

1t may as well be understood now as
later that the public opinion which de-
mands there shall be no exploitation of
the nations necessities through excess
sive profits in military supplies is as
determined not to submit to being ex-
plotted by food spectators of high or

In the filling of vacancies which now

ernor Brumbaugh a day or two ago,
great care must be exercised that there
shall be no criticism of this form of
legislation. This act was introduced
in the interest of economy and is in line
with a SIMILAR provision in the State

In the matter of the abatement of the

it must be realized that the whole mat
ter has been treated with weakness
from the official side. There is no doubt
about the power to enforce a contract,
and it is obvious that failure in this
regard has been largely responsible for
the constant complaints about the ash
nuisance. 1t would seem that political
considerations ought to have mighty
little show against the welfare and

Stories of disloyalty here and there
are not indicative of the general senti-
ment of naturalized aliens in the United
States. These outbreaks are frequently
the result of temperamental weak
nesses rather than actual treason. How
ever, the caution of Attorney General
Gregory that foreigners will not be
molested here so long as they do not
break the laws and keep their mouths
shut ought to be the guiding thought
in the minds of every alien resident.
