blows. Herman's wallops carried the

downs. Some of the Baltimore ban
tam's blows found their mark and
Herman was in distress on two occa-
sions.
Williams was the favorite in the bet
ting and when Rocamp raised Petes
hand the public sat spellbound.

NOT SIGN A SOx CONTRACT

Joe Woods claim that he is a
free agent, under the operation of
the reserve clause in his contract,

The Boston club claims Wood I'M

a contract, whereupon Wood, if re-
ports are correct, will repudiate it
and demand his unconditional re-
lease.

Come, All Women!
~ OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1915. by Frank Crane)

Come. all women! Here is your chance
to do your bit. In crisis like this,
when the men are shoulderng muskets
and marching away. it is terrible for the
women to feel they can do nothing but
must sit in idleneSs and eat their hearts
in anxiety.
Here is something you can do. Join
the United States Food Administration
Uncle Sam is asking every housewife
in the country to become member.
Copy on a postal card and send the fol-
lowing:
Food Administrator, Washington d.
c.: am glad to join you in the service
of food conservation in our United
States and | hereby accept membership
IN the United States Food Administers

direction and advice of the food admin
istrator in the conduct of my household
in so far as my circumstances permit.
There are no dues or fees to be paid.
The food administrator wants rs a mem

On receipt of the pledge, preliminary
instructions are mailed together with a
household tag 10 be hung in the window.
This is a handsome card bearing the
insignia of the Food Administration,
which consists of the national shield
surrounded by heads Of wheat It is
hoped that this shield viii be displayed
in every home in the United States with
in the next few weeks.
When you Join the Food Administra-
ton you are helping your country, for
you are doing your part in the great or
ganization to feed the Allied soldiers in
their struggle against the enemies of
There is not food enough and will not
be enough, to meet the enormous de-
mands to be made upon US With the
greatest wheat crop we can hope for we
will only get IS per cent Of the amount
the United States needs to export to her
Allies.
We have been the most wasteful peo-
pie on earth, because we have had such
abundance. Let US see now if we have
not loyalty, seif-control and cooperative
capacity enough to rise to this occasion
of our country's need.
That Food Administration member
ship card ought to hang in the window
Of every dwelling in the United States.
Let the Boy Scouts see TO i'll

their way and according to their oppor-
tunity. are falling in line and doing their
share in Americas supreme hour
DO not reply that you cannot observe
any scarcity Of food and that you do not

Don't argue! Fall in Obey orders
Trust the experts and officials in charge.
BE good soldier As good and loyal
in your kitchen as you want your son
to be in the field.
