Cnlcago, April SU-The nrst Oruer
by great industrial concern mobiliz-
ing all its men and resources to fight
the danger of worldwide famine
through the threatened crop shortage
in North America has been issued by
Cyrus H. Mccormick, president Of
the International Harvester Company,
in response to President Wilson's re-
cent appeal TO the country. This
order goes to all the company's thou
sands of fields employees in the United
States and Canada, and will also
reach the attention of $4,000 dealers
handling its farming implements.
Employees are directed to consider
as of first Importance all activities to
meet the hunger peril which Mr.. Nc
Cormick regards as even more inn
minent and grave than the presidents
message indicated. They are espe-
cially instructed to cooperate with
all local organizations and movements
seeking to enlarge acreage and pro-
duction.
In addition to urging reduction OF
waste as of no less importance than
increased production, and to calling
on the patriotic women Of the coun-
try to help, especially in home eeonO-
mics, the order says:

SPORTS Gossip About Events of National importance and the Persons Who Are ln the Head
 Liner Classss.
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO. April Il - Chas. J. "Chick" Evans, Jr., national open amateur golf champion, who has just announced that he will retire from active competition for titular honors after the close of the season, will do so because of the demands made on his time over which he has no con tral.
 Evans says he has been attempting for several years to devote less time to the game and more to his business, but has found this impossible, as long as he is seeking championship honors. He says that an athlete in any line of sport, which places him in the pub lie eye, is more or less the servant of the followers of that sport, and he finds 1t difficult to refuse the many invitations extended to him by the clubs whenever he visits the various sections of the country.
 According to the champion, golf is a business initself, even for the anna teur, and if he is continuously com peting in championship events, the expense involved runs up into impress sive figures.

Word comes from Kansas City that there is considerable speculation among amateur sport followers there, over the possibility of a track and field meet in that city in May with teams from California and Leland Stanford. Jr., competing against Mis- souri and Kansas. Tentative appro- val of the plan already has been ob- tained, but a doubt still exists as to whether the proposed arrangements will be consummated
 The plans took form at the recent indoor meet between Missouri and Kansas. The rival coaches - Schulte of Missouri and Hamilton of Kansas leach has been asked to arrange a dual meet with the athletes of the two coast schools. The proposal of joint meet was considered favorably.
 The two middle western teams, it is thought, could turn out a we'll bal anced squad. Missouri, strong in hurdles, and weights and relay, would share almost equally with the fast Kansas long distance runners and cap able jumpers and vaulters.

WHILE IRELAND BOOSTERS ;. POORER GLASS SUFFERS
(By Associated Press)


 DUBLIN, Ireland, April II. - While the Irish farmer is prosperous beyond precedent and wages in many trades are higher than ever before, the con- dition of the poorer classes in the cities is in many cases worst than for years. At the present moment the artisans and the poor in Dublin are reduced to a state of privation that causes great feeling of alarm and dismay," said the lord mayor at a meeting of the corporation this week.
 Members of the corporation com plained that the work of regulating the city, which had been expected to do much to relieve Restitution, was not going forward as had been planned. It had not been found pos sible, he explained, to import the ma terial necessary for the work of re- building, although the ministry of mu- nitions had promised to facilitate it in every way.
 A deputation was appointed to wait upon the chief secretary and impress him with the great need of employ ment, especially in the building trades.

k|LbANE WAN TS TAKE LIN THREE
 OPPONENTS
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, April II. Johnny Kilbane, the champion featherweieht, having beaten all the featherweights they can dig up for him. has been trying for a long time to get crack at the topnotch lightweights with but little success. So just to show what a good fellow he is, and what a whale of scrapper he is, today issued def to the three best who claim light weight class. and offered to meet them all in the same night.
 He began with Freddie Welsh and went right down to Benny Leonard and Richie Mitchell, the two latter having been extremely persistent in telling what they would do to Xiii bane if the opportunity ever offered.
 However, there is the cutest little joker imaginable in Johnny's chal- lenge that tempers his boldness to considerable extent. He specified in his death-defying edict that he wanted each of these men to weigh in at 133 pounds ringside, which long mas been recognized as the legitimate light weight poundage.
 They aren't lightweights," Johnny announces, "and they won't take my offer. However, I am willing to fight any of the three or all of them at any old weight they name, one Light. And I'll do the best job of houseclean- ing in the lightweight division this country has seen for many a long day"
 The champion featherweight is a most awful lonesome boxer. Instead of all the boxers in his class following him around the country and clamoring for matches, an experience most of the scrappers of high rank have, they all get out of his way when he starts travelling. A great many of them have felt the full force of that deadly right, and more of them have heard tales of 1t that fill them with respect.
 So Johnny is rather forced into it. If he can ever get Welshs consent to meet him in a ring the fight fans in this nation will wear out the railroad ties getting to the scene of the mill

TAXES PAID WHEN BOOZE

STOCKHOLM, April 12. - A sudden rush of delinquents to pay up back taxes has been the immediate result of a new regulation providing that passbooks entitling the holder to buy intoxicating liquor will not be issued to persons on the delinquent tax roll. Loss of the electoral franchise until their taxes were paid had not prevent ed hundreds of delinquents from ne glecting to square accounts with the tax collector, but the threat to make it impossible for them to obtain in. toxicants has brought some thousands of crown into the city treasury.
