A LIGHT DOCKET

The regular term of the Mont
gomery Circuit Court convened
here Monday, and the docket
is a small one. The complete docket
follows: Ordinary = appearances
10, continued %; Equity-appear-
ances "a, continued 80; Common
wealth so. There is only one muir
der case on the docket, that of
Cleveland Pergram, transferred
here from Bath county. The most
of the other Commonwealth cases
are trivial matters, such as selling
whiskey, etc, and few felonies.
Much Improvement is being made at
the Courthouse, and it is thought
that the new stairway will be com
pleted from the Clerks office by the
opening Of court. 1t is thought that
the term will not last longer than
two weeks.

LET THE GOVERNMENT ACT

The foodstuffs of the country are
in the hands of horde of unprin-
cipled scoundrels who are sucking
the nation dry in their efforts to
get rich quick from speculative
profits.
They will continue to such and
bleed as long as there is a pound
or a dollar left unless the govern
ment is quick to act.
With the young manhood of the
nation marching out to war and
death, it is a crime against the
state for these dastardly leeches to
be allowed longer to prey upon
the helpless public.
The government should act with
out an hours delay. 1t should
Jail every one of them, and if the
jails will not hold them there are
plenty of lamp posts and limbs that
will.
We are a peace loving man, but
pleading and cajoling will not con
troll the savagery of wild beast.
We crush the serpent beneath
our heel, but we allow these heart
less and soulless baby robbers TO
thrive in our midst.
1t is unthinkabe-it is intolerable.

ARMY OF GIRLS WANTED

Girls, here is your opportunity to
do something for your country and
at the same time be Good Samari-
tan to the young men who are GO
ing out to fight and die in order
that you may have country in
which to live in peace and security.
Every young man who goes to
war needs from two to three pairs
of wristlets to wear around his
wrists in the chilly trenches of
France. They will prevent thous-
ands of bad colds and many hun
dreds of deaths from pneumonia.
But wristlets are not part of
the equipment furnished to each
soldier by the government. Hence,
if you, the warm hearted young
ladies Of our country, do not make
them our boys will not get them.
Colonel Daniel E. Mccarthy, de-
partment quartermaster of the
Central Department, U. S. Army,
Chicago, ILL.,, is so warm hearted
and generous and patriotic that he
is working nearly twenty hours a
day in his efforts to make every
arrangement for the comfort and
well being of the troops. But Colo
mel Mccarthy, strong and brainy
man that he Isl can not furnish
them wristlets because the govern
ment does not authorize him to
do so.
Will you help Colonel Mccarthy
out in this, girls7 Will each of you
constitute yourself his aid and knit
at least one pair of wristlets for
"some girls brother7" The colonel
has beautiful young daughter, and
she is knitting them, too.
The wristlets should be of tan
color, if possible, or dark gray or
some other subdued color, so they
will not attract the attention of the
enemy. They should never be red
or any other bright color. They
should be knit loosely enough to ad-
INIT of drawing them on and off over
the hand, and should be about FIVE
inches in length.
The editor suggests that inside of
each pair you pin or sew a little
slip of paper, with your name and
address plainly written thereon, so
the soldier boys may know who
sent them.
And to aid the movement, and
also to do something for his coun-
try, the editor wants to publish in
the paper the names Of every
young lady who joins in this worthy
undertaking. Let us have your
names as fast as you knit them.
Write Colonel Mccarthy a note
telling him you are knitting some
wristlets and ask him where you
are to send them. He will answer
your letter promptly and will tell
you just what to do with them in
order that they may get to the
right place. And he will be i'm
mensely pleased to hear from you
because of what you are doing
for "the boys"
Girls, the editor makes this APP
peal to you in the name of our
country, which we all love so well.

SIDELIGHTS ON THE BATTLE

CHICAGO, October 13.-The Giants de-
parted for New York shortly after the
game ended and the Sox left on spe-
cial at pm. Indications We're that it
would be gloom on the Giants train and
joy on the Soxs.
The crowd was disa appointment. Just
as it was in New York, and although
the weather conditions here had more to
do with it than in New York, it does
somewhere between fans and magnates.

us from the start, We're the only rel

Truth of the axiom tina: ball game
never is decided until the last man has
been retired is generally recognized.
This you-never-can-tell angle Of the
game is one of the principal reasons for
the great fascination the game holds
for the sport-loving public. There have
been few instances in world series his
tory. however. where sudden rever-
sal of form was less looked for than
that of the Sox yesterday. Russell, Chi.
cago's starting pitcher, failed to last
one inning. Cicotte, who succeeded
him, was hit hard, and Williams, the
third of the four hurlers who perform
ed for Rowland, also was accorded a
warm reception. In the meantime the
Sox had been performing afield like a
bunch of bushers. no less than half a
dozen misplays being charged against
them.
But in the seventh the tide turned
The Chcasoans started playing like
f1ends. pounding out seven hits, which,
with a brace OF errors by the Giants,
netted six runs in two innings and
again gave them the lead in the series
for the championship Of the world.
Sallee's work for the first six in
nings indicated he was going to turn
in another such neat performance as
he showed in the opening contest of the
set in Chicago a week ago. but when
the Sox finally opened their heavy ar
tillery on him his slants were pun
meied to every corner Of the lot. both
left and right handed hitters in the
Chicago ranks fattening their series
averages at his expense.
