One Farm Problem If We Have War.

The country is calling for men in every
direction. The people are calling for
more food, or rather for lower prices OF
domestic supplies, which means the same
thing. Our allies in the war doubtless
soon to begin want the food we can bring
them quite as much as anything else.
In other words, a very exceptional de-
mand for the product of labor as applied
to the land has sprung up. And farm
help has long been very scarce. Farm
owners, as a rule, work more hours than
any other class of people. They cannot
do much more themselves.
Now what are we to do in the situa-
tion? Is the government to lure the
young men away from the farms, and in
evitably lessen their output If so, are
we to get along with smaller supply,
and face the resulting prices2 Here is a
serious question. 1t can in part be met
by inducing everybody who has few

May Is One Of the Largest
Dry Goods Months of
the Whole Year

Wiz w AholS NdI
We are planning on a large
increase this month. Our stock
is in better shape, and as the
market goes we can save you
some money and sell you lots
of very beautiful styles that
you cannot find any other
place.
The best way to please
yourself is to look around in
your home town, then come
here, expecting to find a larg-
er assortment at better prices.
You won't be disappointed.
You will see this just as we do.
One often enthuses over his
own line of goods, but when
the trade enthuses there is
something more than the usu-
al kinds to interest.
Parties living at a distance
can have any of these values
by just 'phoning or dropping a
postal in the mail. We main
tain a parcel post department
for out of town trade that
takes care of your orders i'm
mediately. We pay the parcel
post.

MILITARY TRAINING IS
FIRST AT PRINCETON

PRINCETON, Nov. u.-rhat ath-
letcs are not to occupy the position
of first importance in the life of
Princeton university in the future was
decided TODAY hy the faculty commit
tee on military affairs.
An athletic teams have been asked
by President Hihhen TO reserve Mon
day and Wednesday afternoons OK
clusivcly for military training. and no
candidates will be allowed to report
for any sport who are not taking this
training.
Similar action was taken ne Yale
some time ago, shortly after Tad Jones
announced that no one could play
football who was not a member OF the
reserve officers training camp.
The freshman football team and
crews will be excepted from this rule
for the remainder of the season, but
winter sports will have only three
afternoons each week in which to
practice All other campus activities
Will be subordinated TO the training.
The future OF the informal varsity
eleven that defeated team OF college
stars from Camp Dix on Saturday is
stlll In doubt. The athletic board has
not decided TO arrange any more
games, but for the present head Coach
Rush will remain in Princeton and
keep the team in condition.
The announcement In New York
that this team would play the Maine
heavies at the Polo Grounds next
week has been denied by the authori-
tics. and II this game is played IL
will be staged at Princeton.

Back in 1907 travelling salesman
sat in" at a sand lot ball game in
Weiser. Idaho. watched a tall angular
youngster wiizzing over the ball with
the speed of a rifle and muttered:
"A wonder-a wonder"
SO the salesman, who was n friend
of Joe Cantillion, wired to the man
who then was managing the Washing
ton Senators:
Come out and grab the greatest
pitcher in baseball today" .,
Cantillion didn't answer the wire.
He received too many invitations each
year to grab sand-lot phenoms to get
excited about the advice of his friend
even tho he had lot OF faith In that
salcsman's baseball judgment. But
when Cantillion's friend continued
shooting along telegcams Cantillion
sent Cliff Blankenship out to the
Idaho team TO look over the pitcher
A few days later Cautillion got q
telegram from Blankenship;
Advise signing the pitcher. Ho
looks great"
Cantillion wired:
IAN right; sign him"
