Proclamation by Mayor
for old GIory's Birthday

ON JUNE Ia, 1777, 14o years ago,
~ the Continental Congress, sitting
in Independence Hall, passed reso-
luton that a national flag be
adopted. Today, therefore, we cele-
brate the 140th birthday Of Old
Glory, and in every city, town and
hamlet of our broad land men,
women and children will pay hom-
age to the flag which means more
to the world today than it ever has
meant in any year since it was first
unfurled here in Philadelphia.
Since the country entered the war
every day has, in deeper sense,
been flag day for all true Ameri-
cans; but today let each citizen, re-
membering how many have followed
the flag into the. valley of the
shadow of death that the principles
for which it stands may prevail,
come into a new sense of the dignity
and responsibility of American
citizenship and so, realizing the
duties as we'll as the privileges in
herent in citizenship of the Republic,
rededicate himself to the service of
God and country.

A sizzling double play--one Of the kind
that pulls ouy up from the bleachers In
the open-was effected in the only peanut
less ball game on record, which IL taking
pace IN the United States District Court
before Judge Dickinson, where the owners
OF the defunct Baltimore Federal League
team are suing Organized Baseball for
100000 and alleging that the aforesaid
organized sport is operating contrary to
the Clayton and Sherman antitrust laws.
The play was made by George Wharton
Pepper and Ex-Governor Tencr and even
the victims were forced TO laugh and their
own discontinue.
The sizzling play came after the plaintiffs
had startled bleaChoritcs by resting their
case after the testimony Of :. Edwin Gold
man. John *. Tener. who rose from Cow
ernor of Pennsylvania to president OF the
National League OF one jump, was put on
the stand by Mr.. Pepper. He had testified
that the National League was not a money
making proposition, but was organized as
m absolute essential in the maintainance
Of successful professional ball playing. He
named the sources of income Of the Ma
tional League, and said. among other things,
that company Of sporting goods makers
paid the league $4,000 annually for the
privilege Of supplying the league with It's
official ball.
Mr.. Pepper then asked Mr.. Tencr about
the peace meeting held in New York city
on December II, 1915. Mr.. Tener named
those present at the meeting, and among
others President Raisin. Of the Bawlfcds

ELECTED the statement that the owners Of the
Bawlfeds had offered $25O,000 for a fran
Chise in either the American or the National
League. Counsel for the prosecution had
been objecting strenuously to the intro
duCtion of the testimony concerning the
presence Of the Bawlfcd owners at the
peace meeting Judge Dickinson here took
a hand lie intimated that If Mr.. Pepper
object was to show that the Bawltcd own
ers had at one time been eager to join
an organization which they now brand as
operating illegally, he thought the jury
would infer 1t without any more argument
along the lines taken up

as to whether or not Mr.. Tener
would be allowed to tell of baseball condi-
tions i'm Baltimore as he knew them and
Of how they affected the value OF the Bait

Michael j. Smonds, the architect who
designed the Baltfed's grounds, told Of
the construction Of the stands. Following
this S Edwin Goldman testified that when
the club went out Of business every player
on its roster was written to and advised TO
get another job. He said that the total
value of the players contracts for 1916 was

FREE LOAN TO FARMERS

FREE LOAN TO FARMERs.-On
the food question in the United
States the statement in The Sunday
Tribune from bankers that the farm
ers can have all the money they need
to induce increase Of spring work,
seeding, cultivation and later har-
vesting a big crop and the induce
ment created to cultivate and plant
on vacant lots, back yards and mill
tary farming, is hardly enough en-
cOuragement to obtain what we
need. It requires a herculean effort.
If farmers and tenant farmers Of
these United States were offered a

ming on the farms of this country.
Farmers are, in general, used to the
strictest economy. Once out of
debt he is slow to create further in
terest-bearing contracts; hence this
statement and offer of the bankers
that the farmers can have all the
money they need, fails in many in
stances. For it takes an extra en-
enlargement to induce the farmers
to use more money. At least in this
case there should be no strings tied
to the offer. (This seems a ridiculous
remark) It is well enough to guard
money and be careful in making
loans, but in an extreme situation
which is confronting this nation, like
the present war, crops and food
questions, an unusual act and deed
must be volunteered to obtain the
desired resuIts.-August Olson, 3216

Why go to amusement parks and
waste your hard-earned money and
come back home all tired out?
There are plenty of public parks in
Chicago where young folks can get
getting together in groups. Form an
outdoor club and go out ever Sun
day to some public park. Enjoy play
ing all kinds Of games, etc.
would suggest that all the young
folk readers of The Day Book who
are interested in such plan should
meet the first Sunday in May in Lin
coin park at a certain place. Each
one should wear a red ribbon or a

outdoor club.

CREASE PRODUCTION OF

AS part of the governments plan
to increase the production of poultry
and eggs the famous Federal Poultry
Exhibit in charge of experts from the
Department of Agriculture will be
shipped direct from Washington and
displayed here in Convention Hall
from November 26th to December I'd
Inclusive.
This exhibit occupies $500 square
feet of floor space. 1t will be part of
the Heart-of-America Poultry EXPOSE
ton at which thousands of prize win
ming birds" of all varieties will be
entered from every part of the United
States.
The Governments exhibit and the
poultry husbandmen in charge will
demonstrate the most practical and
profitable ways to breed poultry and
produce eggs according to the expert
ence of the nations experts on record
in Washington.
1t will be shown how you can ma
terially lower your living costs and
at the same time conserve the coun-
try's supply of expensive beef and
pork by raising chickens and gather
ing eggs for your own table.
Eggs and poultry meat contain more
food value for the money now than
beef and pork. An enormous extra
production of these delicacies will go
far toward augmenting the work of
the United States Food Administra-
ton.
Eggs and chickens are classed with
fish, fruits and vegetables as local
foods, which you are expected to on
sumo in preference to less perishable
staples, which are needed for ship
