Houston, Tex, where | shall make my next
long stop, is almost 500 miles farther. From
there to Ell Paso, near where the western
state OF New Mexico begins, is a 24-hour
ride by fast express train, and as far away
from Washington as London is distant from
Constantinople. From Baltimore to FL Paso
is almost as far as from Boston to Denver.

Among the big problems OF today is how
we can keep down the prices of clothing
and food. We are short of both bread aud
meat, and everything is sky-high Just be-
fore coming south | talked with Bradford
Knapp, who has charge of the demonstra-
ton farm work now going on in the south.
He tells me that our salvation lies in this
region, and that with diversified farming
it may be made so to increase the size of OR
bread and meat baskets as to greatly re-
lieve the present high prices and supply
what we need for our armies and allies.
AS it is, the south itself has 35,OOO,OoO

it is only lately that it has begun to put
much in corn, wheat, oats and hay. Never

worth more than 81, 2OO,OOO,OOO. This in

When Wallie Schang, Athletic
catcher, appeared in ball game ear
ly last spring wearing a small nous
tache of the misplaced EYEBROW var
iety, players on other clubs began to
yell trick" and declared Wally was
trying to disguise himself SO the pitch
ers wouldn't know what. to pitch to
him. -,
Wonder what these same players
would say if they happened to run in
to team like that Of the House OF
David at Benton Harbor, Mich.
Camoflouged behind Dng boards
and maiden-like tresses and led by
their ruler. King BENJAMIN, the House
of David team is the most unique In
baseball today.
The barber trade is sadly neglected
among members of the House of Da-
vid, which has several advantages.
They never have to listen to the bar
bers ideas ON how the war should be
conducted nor try to evade his subtle
advances regarding singes, messages,
tonic sir, and the rest of It,
The first requisite of a House OF
David devOtee is mass OF foliage
draped trellis-like over the face. They
must never shave nor cut their hair.
But there is nothing in their relig-
ion to keep them from playing ball
and accordingly, few years ago,
King Benjamin started ball team
which is the terror of semi-pro teams
from Chicago and southwestern Mich
igan.
The "kink" himself is the catcher
and Prince Joshua plays short. Most
of the other team members are prOph-
cts. To see Joshua, who is the cham
pion batter of the team steal second
with his beard and hair floating be-.
hind him and gathering up most of
the excess dirt from the diamond
when he slides into the. base is truly
an inspiring sight.
There are 700 members of the sect.
They believe they are descended from
the lost tribe of Israel They came
to America originally from Australia.
They have an excellent ball park at
Eenton Harbor and at every game the
team is cheered on by the House of
David band, composed entirely of
women.
