The Sox Jubilee.

A world series between New York
and Chicago clubs would carry the
greater effect in spectacular way, as
these two crowded citadels have never
met in any post season championship
debate.
But this doesn't mean that New
York and Chicago are to meet. Boston
has arranged a world series affair in
four of the las, 1--WE years, until now
she begins to look upon the October
windup as an institution. The Red
Sox won in 1912. the Braves in 1914,
the Red Sox again In 1915 and 1916.
SO with one exception 1913. a world
championship banner has been flut-
tering above the Massachusetts me-
tropolis since 1912.
A good many of the present Red
Sox outfit have already known three
world series championships. Most OF
the others have known two. They are
a seasoned. hard fighting bunch-at
their best under heavy fire or out upon
hostile soil. They have Ruth, Leonard,
Shore and Mays. all in first class con-
dition, with Foster and Pennock show
ing improved form. The White Sox
have their work cut out to keep this
delegation in subsection. once the two
clubs get within sight of the stretch.

The 1916 Deficit.

The White Sox look to be a better
ball club than they were last year.
They have been getting better pitch
ing and have been more consistent in
their general play. And last years
finish between the two was close
enough. Here it is:

this margin was established on Bos-

P0PULACE WAR WILD
Night of Disorder in Argentine Capital
Followed by Neutrality Parade.

Buenos Aires, April 25.-Buenos
Aires had another day of demonstra-
lions today.
1t started late at night with free-for-
all fights between various groups of
pro-war and pacifist enthusiasts in
which the meleeS became so vigorous
and stones and other missiles flew so
fast that the gendarmes were COM
PEELED to take a hand. There were a
number of arrests, but no great dam
age done on either side.
The mix up started with a huge
neutrality meeting. After the speeches
scores of professions started with
cipal streets. For three hours they
paraded up and down, orderly enough,
except when the pro-war enthusiasts
made sudden sallies.
The neutrality advocates. however
apparently outnumbered the war en-
thusiasts.
The demonstration convinced me- -

today, that the neutral adherents

USE 1000 STATE ACRES
Illinois to Grow Food Crops on
Ground About Its 81 Institutions

Springfield. Ill. April 25.-As part
of the state program to increase the
productiveness of Illinois soil and to
utilize every possible foot of arabic
land, the state board of administra-
ton has determined upon a program
of intensive cultivation which will take

twenty-one Illinois charitable institu-
lions.
This announcement is made by
Fred J. Kern of BeIIeville. president
of the board of administration, who
has had the heads of the institutions
in conference.
Il believe we can increase the pro-
ductiveness of lands administered by
the board by 100 per cent" Mr.. Kern

careful use of the proper fertilizers
with reference to which we will seek

Domestic Science Departments
of High Schools to State.
Give Uncle Sam Advantage OF
Training in Case of War.

Domestic science departments of all
Kansas high schools should be turned
over to the state and government dur
ing the war. according to a statement
by Mrs Cora G. Lewis, a member of
the state board of administration
There are 225 high schools in this
state which carry domestic science de-
partments Mrs Lewis would place
domestic science instructors m charge
of community canning, preserving and
drying of fruits and vegetables.
In 4 statement today Mrs Lewis
said:
schools with domestic science equip
ment The school board in each of
these towns where it is possible could
help in the food situation by employ
ing the teacher of the Domestic
Science department for the entire va
cation and offer the equipment to the
community for canning, preserving,
and drying fruits and vegetables. A
most important part of the food drive
is the preservation of garden and
orchard products.
Clubs of the high school girls may
be organized by the domestic science
teacher and the equipment divided
into two periods a day-from to IL
and from to 3. Mother and daugh-
ter clubs also may be organized. EX-
ira pressure cookers should be bought
for canning. where the money is avail
able. and the investment of a small
canning plant put in the basement
would be worth to the community
far more than it costs, in the encour-
agement of canning provisions. With
motor cars 1t is possible for both coun-
try and town women to use the do
mestic science departments of the
high schools for canning clu os."

THEY MADE Good
Wishes for Yankee Fighters in

Baseball Experience Qualities
Them as Expert Grenaders.

London, April 24.-The American
Legion made good.
Drafts of men from the Yankee bat
talon have fought SO well in France
that Colonel Hill of the Royal Cana
dian Rifles says he wants more of the
same kind With the prospect of an
American expeditionary force on the
western front some time hence, par
ticular attention is directed today at
work of the Americans with Canada'S
armies. Drafts on the Yankee bat
talon have fought we'll in France.
Sand lot practice in the grand old
game from early boyhood proved to
be real preparedness in the case of the
American bombers. The science of
speed and control made their hurting
superior to that of troops who never
tackled baseball.
The American legion lost its identity
as a separate union several months
ago, instead of going to the front as a
battalion, these Americans have gone
out as drafts of reinforcements of oth-
er units which suffered loss. The
Princess Pats, the Royal Canadian ri
files and the Thirty-eighth battalion
received most of these drafts. 1t was
while visiting the training camp where
the remaining Americans are quarter
ed today that Colonel Hill paid his
compliment to the American fighting
qualities.
