DARCY WANTS TO BE CITIZEN
 AND BENEDICT
English Stacker Thinks He Will Settled in
 United States
 and Marry.

Les Darcy may become an Amer ican citizen. Likewise his pal and manager, Timothy O'Sullivan, plans to take out papers which will ob- tain for him the protection en- ioyed by ali Americans.
 Darcy and O'Sullivan have been greatly impressed with this coun- try, so far as they have seen it. They say that the customs of the people here, not to mention the advantages the United States has over their native land in many ways, have won them over to the idea of becoming naturalized.
 Darcy, it is said, plans to bring his parents and his brothers and sisters to this country if he takes out citizenship papers. And list. Darcy intends also to bring a spouse from Australia and settle down as an eighteen-carat bene- dict in one of the smaller cities, where the noise and hubbub of the metropolis will not always be dinning in his ears.

Fans Speculate on New


 With the major league clubs preparing to leave their Southern training camps, the fans throughout the country are interested in the struggle that has been made by the rockies" for regular jobs in the majors this spring.
 In all, the sixteen big league clubs have tried out in the neigh borhood of 160 to ITO recruits, an average of ten or twelve per club. Of this number very few will make good. but there arc several who will stand out as finds. New York's trio of major entries will start number of newcomers.
 Pitcher Middleton from Louis vile and Joe Wagner. infielder from Montreal. apparently have earned regular berths with the Giants. Infielder Kraupp is the only recruit sure of place with the Yankees. The Robins have Tavern Fabrique, a shortstop, and Hickman an outfielder. who are practically sure to stick.
 A number of other youngsters now with the Greater New York teams will be brought north to de corate the bench as the season opens. but the players mentioned are the best bets uncovered by Nc Graw. Donovan and Robinson.

Morris, Weinert--each has been eliminated. Who's left--why Full ton. And why is he left? Most probably because he won't meet the others.

Until the pub lie decides that some man would stand chance against the cham pion, Jess Willard has every right to go out with the circus and make as much money as they will pay him to exhibit his huge bulk.
 Champion two years ago, he has fought ten rounds-thirty minutes. Sounds as if he hadn't done his duty, but who has there been for him to fight? A real sport would not want to see champion strike a child.

Has Been Feeding
Germany.

Now that the United States is
at war with Germany, it is per-
tinent to call attention to the
fact that this country has been
large source of supply for Ger
many during the present war.
Although we have sold little to
Germany direct. because of the
British blockade, we have been
selling as freely as Great Britain
would permit through the med
numship Of Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and Holland. We sold
Denmark eight times as much
corn in 1916 as in 1914. OF
course these sales will no be made
in future and Germany will lose
this source OF food supply.

sets, including good business Judgment
and a pleasing personality, that will

WASTE PAPER WILL BUY
NEW LIBRARY BOOKS
School Has Hit on Novel Idea for
Raising Funds.

The pupils of the different grades
of the Welsh school are entering a
contest in collecting waste paper. All
old newspapers and magazines as well
as any other form of waste paper will
be collected and sold. The proceeds
from the sale of this paper will be
used to purchase some of the most
needed library books.
A bonus will be given the room col
lecting the greatest number of hun
dredweight.
1t has also been planned to make
press in which the paper from the
waste baskets will be baled for ship
ment.
1t is reasonable to believe that
within the homes of the children at,
tending the Welsh High school theri
is waste paper enough stored up, il
it was baled and marketed to purchase
an entire library for the school, or al
least calculation, several sections.

NEW ORLEANS ASKS COUNTRY
TO HELP THEM CLEAN UP

Next Tuesday night the second mass
meeting of the people of New Orlanse
and of Louisiana will take place under
the call of the Citizens League in the
ilean-up movement. Monday night
it was unanimously resolved to make
it statewide meeting in order to
call on the Governor to compel the
enforcement of the law.
The American has advised the edi-
tors of all newspapers published in
Louisiana to ask their people to lend
their presence and influence on the
next cleanup night here.
The country press is on the side of
law and order. An immense majority
of the people of the parishes are with
the good citizens Of this city in the
great movement to make New Orleans
worthy of Louisiana and its noble ira
ditions.-From an editorial in the
Wednesday morning edition of the
New Orleans American, the paper
which is leading the great moral clean
up in the Crescent City. The Amer
lean speaks we'll when it says the
country press is on the side of law
and order, and should have said that
the country press is honest and
straightforward in this moral stuff
The country press has never asked
nor ever will ask, the New Orleans
papers for assistance in cleaning up
the country.
The New Orleans American is t.
be commended highly for its unselfisf
efforts in bringing to a head the only
: ulcer on the fair face Of our state, ant
the country press will be glad to give
two columns each to the heralding o.
the ultimate success of their move
ment, but no publicity can we give t.
the awful stencil while it exists-w'
can't afford to do it we have too man,
readers in neighboring and northern
states, whom we do not want to ap
prize of the presence Of a skeleton
in our closet.
Our final advice to New 0rlean
is to clean up and shut up-both a
the same time.
