DON'T COMPETE WITH
YOUR UNCLE SAMUEL

"Don't enter into competition with
Uncle Sam" is valuable bit of adj
vice offered by DR.. f. S. Harris, Di-
rector Of the Experiment Station of
the Utah Agricultural College. Ev-
cry time we buy a suit of clothes
that we don't need, every time we
purchase an extra pair of shoes, ev-
cry time we get any unnecessary arti-
Gle, we are competing with the Gov
ernment, according to DR.. Harris.
The reason is plain. Every bit of
labor that is used to make something
for you that you don't need is jus.
so much labor taken from useful pro-
duction that Uncle Sam needs. Every
bit of material you buy for which you
have no immediate use is just so much
material taken from the soldiers who
need it now.
Buy only for your present needs.
Don't keep an extra pair of shoes in
your shoe box when some soldier is
likely without. 1t is not only patriot
ism, but also economy to wear your
old suit few weeks longer. Don't
compete with Uncle Sam.

MIDDLETOWN. Del. April 5.-The

tomorrow afternoon when the Middle
town High School combination will
line up against the Cecilton High
School nine at Academy Park. u has
often been asked II this town was
really baseball mad. but now. the
scheduling of game so early in the
season would indicate that the local
fans would rather see the grand old
game than eat.
The lineup for neither team is fully
known as yet because the captains
and managers have not had long TO
see their men in practise. However.
the most probable lineup for the Blue
and White should be: r. Jones, catch
er; Bill Meyers or Shorty Schuman,
pitcher: Shelley Meyers. first base
Monk Mcdowell. second base; Claude
Fouracre, third base; Robert George.
shortstop and Sam Berkman, Allen
Johnson and JEFF Poole in the field.
This combination looks like a world
beater and should have little or no
trouble in defeating the Cecilton High

Devere Making Trouble for The Heavies

Maybe the old fight fan made It a
little strong, but II is interesting TO
note the climb Of the youth -
lie came to New York and had a
few alleged fights around the small
clubs in the metropolis, and then one
day they matched him with jim
Flynn. Flynn grinned when he heard
Of the match.
That's the kid I used to spar with
at Excelsior Springs he said. Hes
got a stout heart, but I'll beat him
sure"
Devere was carefully conditioned for
this bout He went into IT with in
structions to use his left hand at
every opportunity on the fireman. II
was the first time he had ever at
tempted to do any damaging punching
with that hand.
He used his left with jab. and he
hooked with IT, Between times he
rammed home his right with an up
porcut that had Flynn's face split
from his forehead to his chin. In
all his battles it is probable the
Pueblo iron man never took a more
thorough beating and Devere. the
former pupil OF the formidable Flynn
left the ring without a scratch.
