The manning of Safer is a hard
blow. Reuther is doing his best at
first base, but he lacks experience in
fielding the position and therefore

THE CATTLE TICK MUST GO

The serious meat shortage IN the
United States and the urgent neces-
sity for removing every handicap to
increase production, including eradi-
cation of the cattle fever ticks in the
quarantined area, has been emphasiz-
ed by government authorities recent
ly.
The inventory of food stuff stocks
in the country show that the meat re-
sources are as deficient as the grain
resources. The latter can be RENE
died within year by planting increas-
ed acreage of grain crops and by cul-
tivating city lot gardens, but the
meat problem requires a longer time
to develop much increase in produc-
ton.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture,
Hon. Carl Vrooman, in his address at
the Southeastern Food Crop confer
ence in Atlanta, Ga, on April 5th,
stressed in the following statement
the necessity for hurrying the work
of eradicaring the cattle fever ticks
THE cattle tick eradication cam.
paign nov being waged in the tick fe-
yer guaranteed area of the southern
states is one of the most wonderful
campaigns for good ever carried on
in America.
IF actual warfare comes to this ma
ton, do n0t let that campaign stop
until the cattle fever ticks are com
pletely err ldicated, for we must es
tablish solid foundation for prepar

that economy be introduced by cut
ting off one dollar of the amount Of
appropriation necessary to complete
this work at the earliest possible mo
ment, for profitable live stock in

The counties, through their Off
Gals, also must make appropriations
to purchase material for dipping vatas
and to pay salaries of inspectors tC
help the state and federal representa-
tives. The government is willing and
anxious TO do all it can toward Grad
icating the ticks, but it will not at
tempt to carry on the work in any
county without hearty cooperation OF
county officials.
The bureau of animal industry at
Jacksonville will cheerfully assign
skilled leaders to help county Off

Gals are ready 40 build watts and car

Every person can demonstrate their
patriotism by energetically pushing

help the government solve the meat

BOX RECORDS OF PITCHERS GIVEN

Much stress has been laid upon the respective ability of the pitch CTS of the clubs and the part that these twirlers will play in the win ming of the worlds series. For this reason comparison of their box records during the period under consideration may be helpful to the followers of the game. The Gi- ants have used Sallee, Perritt, Tes- reau, Schupp and Benton for an average of 34 35 innings each in the twenty-day period while De- maree and Anderson have worked an average of IT 1-2 each.
 For the White Sox Cicotte, Will jams and Faber have borne the brunt of the pitching, having av- eraged forty innings. Danforth and Russell between them pitched twen- ty innings, an average of ten in- nings.
 The work of the pitchers of both teams showing innings pitched, hits allowed and earned runs scored off their delivery follows:
