BASEBALL CIRCUIT MAY USE MOTOR GAR Manager Cites Convenience of the Automobile Over
 Railroads

Bill Rodgers-as he is known to base ball fans all up and down the Pacific coast-may transport his Sacramento ball club over the Pacific Coast league cir cult this season in motor cars.
 Last fall Rodgers announced his re- tirement from baseball and joined an automobile sales staff. Later on, how ever, came an offer to manage the Sac ramento club and Rogers accepted. He had driven a car for several years, and he naturally turned to it, in place of railroads, when it came to scouting for new playing material.

"The transportation difficulties with which the automobile industry is con- tending Is not an unmixed evil,r says R. G. Pierce, local Dort distributor
 "The inability to obtain sufficient freight equipment has made it neces- sary for dealers to drive thousands of cars from the factories. and this traffic has resulted in greater interest than was ever before manifested in the sub- ject of good roads.
 Merchants and hotel keepers have felt the effect of this increased cross country travel and are consequently boosting highway improvement Ns they never boosted before. This is bound to have its effect"

MISS MARY CHADWICK
NAMED LOCAL CHAIRMAN

The people of Jefferson county are
asked to take upon themselves before
Christmas the support of ISL French
orphans. To care for one of these lit
tie fatherless children for one year
the small sum of $3.50 is required. 1t
is not asked that one person should
always do this; there are many ways J;
clubs, church societies, Sunday schools
and public school classes, rural
schools, groups of grown people or
boys and girls may take one or more
to suppOrt-the one question to be
settled is that it must be done and
done at once. The need is urgent The
French people fought our battle long
before America went in and it is only
justice that we make this return. Let
each man and woman, every boy and
girl, think of the catastrophe it would
be to our country to have thousands
of homes deprived Of the bread winner
Think of it, home without a father
All teachers and heads of districts
are asked to interest the children in
this work; it takes but the small sum
Of 10 cents a day to save one French
child, to give it food, clothing and
education, and to permit it to be
brought up in it's own home under it's
mothers care. In this connection, G..
P. Cary, state superintendent of
schools, speaking to teachers and
principals, MANY schools are adopt
ing one or more French orphans and
pledging themselves to pay the $3650
for it's support. Anything you or your
school can do to assist in this worthy
enterprise will be effort we'll spent.
Broadening the sweep of children's
interests and sympathies is in itself
worthy end, and this l confidently
believe would result where children
respond to such an appeal"
