Hickman and Fulton county: -
| Above is a letter from Gov.

of our President, Woodrow Will

l ask you to read this letter of
Governor Stanley s very careful

too feel that we people are not
taking this war seriously enough
and that everyone, it matters not
whether he be white, black, male
or female, young or old, should
lend every assistance that he
possibly can to the aid OF our
government.
Assistance does not necessari-
ly mean that You will be called
upon to volunteer, pick up your
gun and enter the ranks, as sol
der, but you can be Of assistance
in divers ways. One thing which
everyone can do is to stop any
waste or extravaganza, especial
ly in food, as there could be
thousands upon top of thousands
of people fed with the waste
that is now going ON in our conn
try in foodstuffs alone.
Never before in the history Of
our country has there been such
scarcity of crops, and anyone
who owns even a back yard
should plant it in something and
strive to feed somebody. Every
acre of ground, whether it be on
a farm, vacant lot, ball park, ETC.,
should b" planted in something
to go towards feeding and cloth
ing our people, and by doing this
you will materially decrease the
high cost of living. Along this
line call your attention to

that cotton also cuts quite a fig
ure, not only in the clothing OF
our people, but the seed products

Referring to paragraph No. 5,

Billy Sunday Says Boxing
Develops Needed Traits;
Every Boy Should Train

New York, April 10.-The Rev. Billy
Sunday, the evangelist, is a boxing as
well as a baseball enthusiast. Talking
on the ring game he said:
Nothing wrong with it. Boxing,
properly regulated, is not harmful and
does a certain amount of good Ger
tainly won't corrupt any ones morals.
There can't be any harm so long
as they don't slug with the bare knuck-
les, as in the old days" added Mr..
Sunday.
Boxing makes a fellow courageous
makes him self-dependent. The boy or
man who can box isn't afraid He
knows he can protect himself and you
never find that sort of a fellow seek
ing trouble.
Every boy should be taught to box
Bully exercise. / want my boy to be
able to box and protect himself. You
never heard of a good boxer going
around with a gun in his pocket, did
you? No, you bet you didn't.
81 believe in boxing and all manly
sports, just as 1 believe in universal
military training. Good things for the
nation at large. Makes boys and men
strong of body and mind.
That's what we want strong men,
not weak, old fossils. Athletics keep
you in good health. That's the main
thing.
And" concluded Mr.. Sunday, with a
wink, II don't mind telling you that I
can handle my own dukes pretty well.

of a boxer myself, and l haven't for

The National League
PRESIDENT JOHN X. TENER.

'Basing an ante-season judgment
upon conditions and expectations as 1
find them wherever I go. I am led to
believe that baseball generally will en-
joy prosperous season in 1917. OF
course / make this statement mindful
that the contingency of a war pressed
with vigor on land and sea might act
as deterrent on what otherwise un-
doubtedly would prove one of the best
years baseball ever has experienced
This applies to the minor as well as to
the major leagues.
Speaking especially of the National
League, | am convinced that the race
this year will be equally as keen and
interesting as it was last season. ]
look for q great battle for honors right
up to the end of the championship
schedule. l am conscious that the gen.
eral public expects the New York
Giants to win the pennant without any
trouble, in fact many think Manager
McGraw will take his team to the
front and gradually widen the gap be-
tween the Giants and the other con-
tenders until the former will make a
walkover race of the schedule.
"I do not entertain any such idea
The other clubs should give New York
stiff fight and stranger things in
baseball have happened than that the
favorite fail to win. 1t is true that Of
fensively and defensively the Giants
are q powerful combination but Brook
lyn. Philadelphia and Boston, all good
teams last year and the Quakers and
Braves contenders for the title right
up to the finish, will have something
to say about the disposition of the pen
nant this year. All three of these clubs
look stronger than last year.
Then again the west may furnish
some surprises that the public little
anticipate. Undoubtedly Pittsburgh
has strengthened. by the addition OF
young material. These youngsters
made the Pirates quite formidable al
the close of last season. Mathewson
may spring a surprise in Cincinnati
At all events the Reds are pretty GER
tain to be superior TO the form they
showed last year.
Chicago will begin the season handi-
capped by the loss of Captain Doyle
but the team may be expected to play
the very best ball of which it inher-
emily is capable under Manager Mitch
ELL for whose ability l have the high
est respect. In St Louis the new or
ganizers are beginning the season or
the policy of building new from the
ground up. Therefore Manager Hug
gins will be given free hand not only
to use all of the young blood at his
disposal but other new players will be
sought with the hope that the team
may be strengthened to become a con-
tender for the pennant."

Saturday at Baltimore. Local railroad
ers had hoped to win laurels in sew
eral of the events and Harrisburg

is up to the fans to get busy and
show no letup in boosting until the
