much less of the sacrifice of precious
lives of Yankee boys in khaki, be-
cause food In these modern times Is
an absolutely essential part of the
sinews of war"
During campaign week a House
Card" bearing valuable suggestions as
to just how food conservation and
substitution can be effected will be
| placed in every home. And in every
| home that has enrolled in the con-
servation army by signing a pledge
card will also be placed an artistic
card showing that the family residing
there has shown its loyalty in a prac-
teal way and is DESTROYS of lessening
| the sacrifice of precious lives Of
Yankee boys in Khaki. These cards
are to be displayed in the windows
who the real supporters of the gov
eminent and our armies are.
Food Administrator James Hart

the saving of American lives, but
also because in a very definite way

The Vermont Food Administration
officials know that if Vermont house

COBB SENT TO DETROIT
IN RETURN FOR C!!COTTE
White Sox Star Twirler and Georgia
Peach Once Played Together
Down South.

Batting averages for the season o,.-
close the fact that Ty Cobb of tho
Detroit Americans is the premier hats
man OF both leagues. At the same
time Eddie Cicotte of the white Sox
is enjoying publicity through his world
series activities. Peculiarly enough.
TINS is not the first time that the names
OF these two have been associated
although 1t has been more than ten
years since they We're first linked.
back In 1904 there was youngster
paying at Augusta. Ga. in the South
Atlantic League. He attracted the at
tention of other managers in the
league in peculiar way He was con-
stantly running. Each time he came
70 bat he trotted out to the plate. and
after he once managed to get on base
nothing seemed to be able to stop him.
His speed on the paths was SO remarka-
ole that he rarely was compelled to
slde. IhlS "phenom" was none other
than the now famous Tyrus r. Robb.
During the winter of 1904 the man
ager of the Charleston IS c. team of
the South Atlantic League made sew
erai attempts to land the speedy young
ster from the Augusta nine. and at
one time is said to have concluded ar
price to be paid being So5. Before
delivering the player, however. the Au-
gusta management remembered the
agreement with the Detroit team and
was compelled TO call the negotiations
off.
In the spring of the same year the
Detroit team happened to train at Au-
gusta, and when 1t departed for the
north It left behind young pitcher
who. although an exceptionally good
finger. was not considered big league"
material at the time. In cor sideration
for the use of the pitcher during tho
season. the management Of the Augusta
team agreed to give Detroit first pick
Of any players the Augusta team might
find or develop. The pitcher was Eddie
Cicotte.
Detroit, therefore. owes Cobb to CT
cotte. And had it not been for the
peculiar agreement made at Augusta
the demon of the diamond" might be
wearing another uniform today. There
Is little doubt that he would not have

council of five which has held sway
since the korniloff revolt. plotting the
country through perilous political
crisis The council of five apparently
carried out Premier kerensky's pro-
gram in full. 1t succeeded in ending
the korniloff affairs except for some
agitation on part of the radical coun-
ellis of workmen's and soldiers dele
gates. Seemingly it turned the demo-
cratic congress. which was planned
originally to overthrow the Kerensky
into a force of support.
The new cabinet consists of six So
four constitutional democrats
and seven members of other parties.

reported, will be sent to Paris to repre-
sent Russia at the allied conference.
