TAKE MANY STARS
The Army Will Get Some OF
BasebalI's Best Talent.
PA Big Leaguers Will Be In on
the First Call.

New York. April O.-Baseball-to
use the words of Ban JOhnson-will
be honored and glorified by a war call
to its young men who are eligible to
military service, according to present
plans of the war department.
Someone asked Ban if baseball
would suffer thru selective conscrip-
ton, and Johnston instantly resented
the word. Approximately PA men in
both big leagues will be drafted if the
call goes out before the end of the
season. 113 OF these will come from
the American league and 1Ol from
Governor Tener's circuit.
May Finish Season.
The fact that the American league
clubs, for the most part, are being
drilled constantly will have little eff
feet, for what they are learning in
baseball drilling camps would be only
beginning to the instructions they
would receive in a big army encamp
ment.
The only hope for a respite seems
to lie in the fact that mobilization
at the camps probably will not begin
until September. when the baseball
season is rapidly drawing near the
end. A month might be granted the
men to finish and then report The
worlds series might suffer badly.
Among the stars of the game who
are believed to ne eligible to service
are: Benny Kauff Giants: Howard
Ehmke, Detroit Tigers; Dave Daven-
port and Allen SoIhoron, Browns; Joe
Judge and Harry Harper, Senators:
Jesse Barnes. Walter Maranville, Ar
thur Nehf and Bill James, of the
Braves; Leon Cadoro, Dodgers: Reuth-
er and Workman, Cubs; Cueto, Kopf,
Mitchell. Rousch and Sanders, Reds:
Walter Holke. Fred Ichupp and Kill
duff, of the Giants: Bancroft,

IN TRIS'S SHOES
lilly Walker Makes Good With
the Boston Red SOx.
He's Holding on to Job With
Might and Main.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, April 3O.-Inspiration,
coupled with what learned Boston
might call inherent ability to ca
wort on the baseball greensward," has
made ''Tilly" Walker valuable asset
to the Red SoX.
Had it not been for the baseball
deal which sent Iris Speaker to
Cleveland and resulted in the Red
Hose securing Walker from the
Browns at the start of last season
"Tilly" would have lacked the inspira-
ton.
Tristram, the mighty. is alone re-
sponsible for ambitions that have
spurred Walker on to become one OF
the American leagues best all-around
outfielders
When lilly was called upon to
fill the boots left vacant by Speakers
departure from the City of Culture he
knew he had a big job on his hands,
for Speakers are few and very, very
far between. But "Tilly" buckled into
the job. laced up the large sized shoes
and went to it.
He Is Making Good.
Luckily for Walker the deal which
sent him to Boston helped him to
cut of the worlds series pie and made
him a member of the worlds cham
pions. And 'Tilly'' is holding onto his
job with both mitts these days.
Last season Walker hit .265, which
is not considered terrific hitting for
an outfielder by any means, but many
of his hits were for extra bases, and
he showed the pitchers a mean stick
when there were men on the bases. In
the field he finished with an average
of $50.
Boston fans are watching Walkers
work this year in the belief that he
will show great improvement. He has
started off the season hitting like a
demon, and, altho the fast pace he has
been getting will be hard to keep up
when the crafty pitchers get settled
down to steady heaving, his work with
the Red Sox has helped Bostonese to
forget the disappointment they felt
when Speaker was sold to Jim Dunn's
Indians.

lay championship in their class. re-
ducing by AS seconds the former

On Writinq Letters.

The soldier now has the sense of the situ- alton pngrained in his thinking. He sees through the need of keeping quiet even on matters that call for some criticism. There is more humor and matter-offactHess about his letters One of my men. who can't write very veil was telling me the other day that one letter a week is all that he can summon up his courage to write. and he gave this as q reason: The people at home don't, can't understand life here.

Women Drive War Automobiles.

Between 15O and 200 women soon will be driving military motor ears be- hind the French front.
 Women have tried since the begin hing of the war to enlist in the auto mobile service. The Club Feminin Automobile was the center of this group, and it had secured the sigma lures of several hundred of the thou sand women in Paris who hold licenses to drive motor cars. The passive re- sistance of the different war bureaus held them back until now.
 The women are obliged to enlist for three months and to agree to submit csrupulously to military rules and dis cipline, They will in the beginning replace motor ambulance drivers in the foreign sanitary sections who are transferred to other services Later on they may replace men in other au- tomobile sections.

SCOURS IN YOUNG ANIMALS
Generally Result of Overfeedinu or Use of Unclean Utensils-Best
 to Reduce Feed.

Scours In our animals Is generally the result of overfeeding or feeding from unelean troughs or buckets, or from feeding food that is stale. Milk fed to calves should either always be sweet, or always be sour. If 1t Is one thing one time and the other the next, it will result in SCOUTS.
 The buckets should be as carefully scalded out as are the pails in which the milking is done.
 Musty or bin-burned grain should not be fed. particularly to young animals.
 When the calf gets too much milk or the young pig gets too much feed. we have SCOUTS, possibly thumps in the pig.
 The best remedy is to reduce the amount of feed, clean up the troughs and buckets, and give good dose of castor oil. Two ounces Is q dose for q calf, and from a teaspoonful to a des- sertspoonful to growing pig, accord ing to its size.

WORK OF MILKING MACHINES
Test Made by United States Depart ment of Agriculture in Dairy
 Regions of Many States.

The United States department of az riculture has put out a bulletin or milking machines. They made studies in dairy regions in New York, Michi. gan, Ohio and Illinois. They found that in herds of 15 cows or less the average time required to milk a COW by hand is q fraction over seven min. utes, and by machine fraction under five minutes. In herds of 50 cows the average time required Is seven min. utes, but by machine just little more than four minutes.
 The cost per year to milk COW in 6 herd of 15 cows or less is S1091 by hand. and S10.45 when the herd mum. bered 30 cows or more. With machines the cost was $11.75 per COW in herds oi 15 cows or less, against S7.34 per COW per year with 50 cows or more in the herd.
 In computing these figures, a total of 156 farms were investigated. Inter, est on the investment, the value of gas and oil, the cost of repairs, de. preciation and labor were all consid. cred.

RAISE CALF ON WHOLE MILK
Various Supplements Which May Be Combined to Lower Cost of Ration
 Skim Milk Economical.

(By R. s. HULCE and w B. NEVENS.
 Illinois Agricultural Experiment Sta tion.)
 Raising the dairy calf on whole milk alone is too expensive. There are a number of supplements which may be combined with whole milk in order to lower the cost of the ration. The feeds most commonly used as whole. milk supplements are skim milk, home. mixed meals, commercial calf meals and hay and grain.
 On farms where skim milk Is avail. able, it may be substituted for whole milk in the ration of a healthy calf when the animal is three or four weeks of age, few days being necessary to
