the government 90 cents a day to feed
q soldier. Thus the cost has more
than doubled since 1906, and since
1897 1t has almost trebled.
No one who has done the buying
for the family table during these
years will question the figures, for
while the parallel is o exact, owing
to the special kind Of food given to
soldiers, and the fact that the cost. Of
food for children could not be esti-
mated on the basis of the govern
ment's army ration. the figures never
theless provide an illuminating COM
ment on the increased cost Of living.
They show in particular that since
the outbreak Of the European war the
cost OF army rations in this country
has increased about rs per cent, and
this means q food shortage and a de-
mand for economy in food consump-
ton which is very necessary to the ma
TONS weli-being.

maple peas, are now being eaten as
substitutes for potatoes in the north

Experts have declared that his work

DELAWARE COUNTY
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
President j. Borton Weeks
Gives Reasons for Such
a Forecast
CLUBS NATURAL RIVALS

The Delaware County Baseball League
tpaugurated its tenth consecutive season on
saturday With its record of nine success
sive years Of uninterrupted playing. the
league stands undisputably as the foremost
as well as the oldest semiprofessionh
league in the state. as the only one in
Pennsylvania that is incorporated. as the
only one that maintains throughout the en-
tire season the double umpire system and
as the only one that has fully equipped,
inclosed parks for all its clubs.
The present campaign has been prose-
cuted with vGor greater than any pre-
Nious season. The league has again been
reduced from six clubs TO four, as in 1915.
when with Frank Baker in the circuit.
the league experienced its most successful
season Last year baseball was so hope
lessly outclassed especially during the nnal
two months that there was certain to be
one game each week that almost completely
lacked interest with the result that the
average playing strength of the league was
lowered and n decided financial loss en-
dured by the other clubs in the circuit. On
the other hand, Clifton Heights which
struggled courageously through the season
until within two games of it's close, was
at the time a worthy rival of the other
clubs, although unable to re-enter the race.
This year Media. Upland. Chester and Brill
comprise circuit strong in natural rivalry,
well backed financially and equal in play
ing strength
An important change in the playing
schedule is the division of the season into
two series Of twelve games each, instead
of the usual single series of twenty flour
games. Tho rule affecting this change pro.
vides that in the event OF one club winning
both series. 1t shall be awarded the pennant.
but In the event of the first and second
series being won by different clubs, the
winners of the two series will play a post.
season series of three games for the cham
pionshp
The controlling reason for this change is
that in n season made necessarily short
by playing only OH Saturdays and holidays
each game is of such Importance in the
final standing that club that gets off
to a bad start, no matter how carefully it's
plans may have been laid. is frequently so
severely handicapped that even though 1t
develops into club of championship cali
ber by the middle of the season, its chance
of overtakng the leading club is extremely
remote.
