Johnny Jones may be at home a
veritable imp of Satan, yet when

imitation of the angel child. and
it's the same thing all through life

WILLING TO PAY; BUT
FEW HAVE ENLISTED AS YET

ATLANTA, Ca, May 3.-Atlanta gol-
fers, few of whom have yet enlisted
for the war, are discussing a new and
unique scheme to raise a fund for
building hospitals and relieving the
wounded when the United States gets
fully into the war, as now appears to
be a dead moral certainty in view of
the growing menace of the German
submarines.
Every time a golfer tops his ball off
the tee, or sends it ito a sand trap, or
dubs brassie shot, or rims the cup
and misses a putt, he will fine himself
FIVE cents, paying the fine to his OPP
ponent; while the opponent will col
lect and in turn pay his fine to the
other
AS all golfers know, topping ball
off the tee and shooting into sand
traps and dubbinb brassie shots and
trimming the cup on the putting green
are common faults, and it is believed
that if all golfers followed the plan
above outlined, and didn't desert the
game when it became too expensive.
there would be raised in this country
a fund of thousands of dollars for re-
lief of wounded soldiers.

ALFALFA CHAMPIONS WANT

OWOSSO, Mich, May 3.-When
farm hand looks for a job in the Ma

farmer doesn't ask him: Can you
run a gasoline engine?" He says:
Can you run the bases?' 1t isn't.
Can you drive in a rum"
And just now it isn't important
whether farm hand can pitch hay
it's question of whether he can pitch
ball That's because Maple River,
champions of the Alfalfa league, are

The baseball fever here is a result
Of a 'back-tO-the-farm" campaign.

ment to keep their sons and hired help

CORPORATIONS TRAINING WOMEN
TO TAKE PLACE OF ATLANTA MEN

ATLANTA, Ca, May Blanks, in
surance companies. real estate firms
and other lines of business employing
large number of men in clerical po-
s,tions are beginning already in At
lanta to train young women to take
their places when the president issues
the call for registration under the Sc
lective CONSUMPTION act of congress.
Practically all the leading business
firms of Atlanta have pledged their
male employees that positions will be
held onpen for them when they return
with their honorable discharges from
the service of the government.
Meanwhile, it will be no uncommon
sight in Atlanta for women to handle
tie money in bank teller's cages, to
write life and fire insurance, to keep
books, solicit freight and perform
scores of other services which the men
are now performing.

Scratch Mixture.

/ pound cracked corn,
/ pound wheat,
/ pound oats.
Dry Mash
2 pounds cotton-seed meal,
2 pounds beef scrap,
4 pounds bran,
5 pounds middlings,
8 pounds corn meal.
The scratch mixture is fed sparingly
so that the hens eat about equal
parts of this mixture and of the
dry mash.
A large per cent of cotton-seed
meal in dry mash without any
beef scrap has not given satisfactory
results. Pullets fed ration with 80
Ger cent cotton-seed meal averaged
only 1872 eggs apiece in one year. A
considerable per cent of these eggs
had discolored yolks, with green or
brownish- spots, making them
unfit for market. The renS ola not
like this mash and had to be forced
to eat it by feeding a very limited
amount of scratch grains.
These results appear to indicate
that cotton-seed meal can be fed at
the rate of about 10 per cent of the
mash, or per cent of the total ra-
ton, with an equal per cent of beef
scrap with excellent results. In sec
tions where cotton-seed meal is pro
duced, half of the beef scrap in the
mash apparently can be replaced by
cotton-seed meal with excellent re-
suits.

MRS. ANNA FIERY ON TRIAL
HERE ON CHARGE OF MURDER
LET US REMEMBER.

That one way in which we
can help win the war is to eat
less of : the food which our
armies will need in the field
and more Of the foods OF WHICH
we have an abundance and to
waste less Of all foods.
We must increase the exports
of our food products made
from milk.
Use all Of the milk. Waste
no part Of it. The children must
have whole milk, therefore, use
less cream. There is great
waste OF food by not using all
skim and sour milk. Sour milk
can be used in cooking and to
make cottage cheese. Use but
termilk and cheese freely.
The American people are not
being asked to starve them.
selves.
Eat plenty, but wisely, and
without waste. But do your
part to help save food for the
nation.

BREAKING LEAGUE RULES.

At Hagerstown yesterday, as
will BIO noted in another column
of this paper today. the Hagers-
town club was awarded the pen
nant in the Blue Ridge League
for the season Just finished.
The protest made by Martins
burg was not allowed. principally
on the grounds that Hagerstown
was not the only club in the
league which violated rules. II
was pointed out by President
Jamison that otter clubs. includ-
ing Martinsburg had also been
yiolators. He stated this and
said that Secretary Farrell, Of
the minors. had received con-
tracts from IL Martinsburg play
ers while the Mountaineers had
80 mon in uniform at various
E times.
1t seems a shame that clubs in
the Blue Ridge League should
violate the rules governing them.
1t had far better be in outlaw
baseball than BE under the ma
tional commission, IL rules are
no more to the club owners and
directors.
II is quite probable that If the
inside history of each club were
known to the public, it would
mean a black eye to baseball in
practically every town in the cir.
