All recruiting records for the army, navy and marine
corps were broken during April If to have an
army of several million men must school thousands
of officers and the fellows who get into the ranks early
will stand good chances of wearing shoulder straps be-
fore very long In this war it will be merit, and not
pull that counts in the distribution of responsibilities
and honors.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1917-05-02

whether we are to send an army at once or keep
it on this side to be trained is matter which the ex-
perts ought to be permitted to determine but non
experts are capable of understanding that the business
of raising an army ought to begin at once There ere
many people in the United States who do not yet realize
that we are at war. A little real war making would
wake them up.

SLUMP IN PRICE OF EGGS AT
COLUMBUS, MISS.

Although the high price of food
stuffs in northern cities is causing
rioting among housewives, local
prices are lower than for several
months past, and eggs, which for a
long time sold here at 40 cents per
dozen, were on yesterday quoted at
rs cents.
! The price of eggs, as of other COM
modities, is regulated by the law of
supply and demand, and the reason
for the drop in prices is that the sup
ply seems to be much more plentiful
than it was earlier in the winter. It
seems rather early for hens to begin
laying, especially as the weather has
been very cold, but it may be that
farmers are not using so many eggs
at home and are bringing NOR to
town. At any rate, they were being
offered freely in the local market
yesterday, and the ruling price was
rs cents per Observation-Disclosures Com

O BELLA COMING.

Read what the New Orleans Item
of Feb. Goth has to say about Flora
Bella.
"Flora Bella" this weeks attrac-
tive Offering at the Tulane theatre
sounds a new note in musical comedy.
1t is entirely different from anything
seen here in years, adele" being the
only thing which we can recall which
even vaguely suggests the same class
of entertainment.
In the first place "Flora Bella" has
a coherent, intelligent plot which
could have furnished the basis for a
comedy even if it were not the back
ground for a musical production. On
the other hand it has a big chorus Of
pretty girls, lively comedians, beautiful
gowns and all the good features Of
the less dignihed musical shows.
Florence Weber, who is fondly re-
m~embered here in Naughty Mariet-
ia" and "The Climax" is the prima
donna, and she not only sings well but
knows how to act. Her portrayal Of
"Flora Bella" is a notable bit of act
ing. .
Sundays nights audience was fas-
cinated by the colorfui production and
the general opinion was that the mu-
sic was the best heard here this sea-
son. It is by Charles Cavillier and
Milton Schwartzwald. Some Of the
especially excellent songs are "Give
Me All Of You," "Love Is q Dream"
Blossom Of My Heart,'6' and "Creep,
Creep, The World Is Asleep"

CHUM BOB'S SPORTING TALK.

New York, Feb. 27-(By Union As
ISOLATED Press)-The mid : season
graduations have robbed athletics o.
some of its stars, as far as intercol'
legiate contests are concerned. Tee
Meredith has received his ~sheepskir
from the University of Pennsylvania
and is no longer eligible to compete
in the Intercollegiate championships
Riley of Dartmouth, who ran second
to the Red and Blue flyer in the great
47-2-5 seconds quarter, also is out of
college ranks. Down at Princeton,
ton, however, Trainer Keene Fitzpat-
rick has an athlete who will prove a
worthy to great Meredith
should Fitzpatrick start him in the
quarter at the college title meet next
spring.
If he starts the sports followers will
see an old favorite in a new role. The
athlete we have in mind is Billy Moore
the present 22O yard Intercollegiate
champion. From March Is until April
1 the Southern Circuit Cup, for the
championship of the South, and the
Aiken and Partridge cups will be play
ed for. Schedule dates of these
events will be determined later.
Carl Morris, original type Of white
hopes" back in the days when Jack
johnson and his ebony color scheme
Swallowed the heavyweight section Of
pugilism, has begun active work for
his frolic with Frank Moran at the
Garden on March IL. Carlos and
Frank are merely renewing relations
on a dispute begun several months
ago, with Tulsa, Okla, named as the
site for reaching a settlement. Con-
ditions prevented the racket at Tulsa,
and the match here is the first move
toward a resumption of hostilities.
Biscayne Bay. is just now the cen
ter of attraction for the motor boat
The third annual motor
boat carnival, which was held there
recently was the most successful Of
any yet held in Florida waters.
Through the efforts of Carl G. Fisher
there were twice as many entries as
in previous years and the crowd was
the largest that has yet attended mo-
tor boat races in Southern waters.
Now that explanations are in order,
it is said that Fultz overestimated the
as we'll as the strength Of his
players. Many stars held follower
contracts-the Speakers, Cobbs, john
sons, Sisters, Bakers, Collines. Fultz
these signed stars would
strengthen his hand rather than
weaken it. He believed the drain Of
these stars, surrounded by
bush leaguers would force the major
leagues to do his bidding. He failed,
however, to figure on the strikers.
$4,000 and $4,000 men argued
that it is fine for Speaker to wire his
with the strike when he is
able to collect his $4,000, while the
smallfry is out in the cold fighting for
league technicalities.
