Billy. Jones
By
WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

Billy JOnes-maybe your son or the
son OF a neighbOr-was in the front
line trenches in France when the Ger.
man bombing party was driven back.
His enthusiasm to get the Boches car
ried him over the top Of the trench,
and at the edge Of No Mans Land q
Hun bullet got him.
A comrade-maybe your boy-crawl.
ed out into No Mans Land and brought
BILLY Jones back to the American
trenches.
/ Other comrades carried him back
through the maze of trenches to a
dressing station, where his wound was
cared for.
medical department ambulance
carried him on to the field hospital.
From there Billy Jones was taken to
the base hospital, and there a Red
Cross nurse-yOur Red Cross nirse-
is tenderly. carefully, smilingly nursing
him back to health again so that lie
may not have to pay the extreme sac.
rifice that we-that you and and our
neighbOrs-may enjoy the blessings Of
freedom.
There are half a million of these
boys of ours in France today and
more going lover there" every week.
They are there to wage the supreme
conflict of the world with the brutal
forces of autOcracy that democracy,
our heritage, may not perish.

back to us, and it is the Red Cross men
and wOmen-Our Red Cross men and
wOmen-whO will bring thousands Of
them back who would not otherwise
come If our dollars will but keep them
there to minister to these boys of ours.
They are but doing for us what We
cannot do for ourselves.

Miles of SweatbandS.

The sweatbands of the 12I, 492, 81
hats and caps that were made in the
United States in 1916-an average year
would make a single band two inches
wide and 265,625,O 900 feet long, enough
to go twice around the world, with
enough left over to make a nice bow
somewhere along the equator. The
Scientific American is responsible for
these figures and for the statement
that In this tape there would be A.
100000 square feet Of leather; that the
trimmings of the hides used in these
hatbands amount to at least 11,OOO,OOO
square feet more. This leather would
make the tops for 2O,OOO,OOO shoes.
No wonder leather substitutes are now
being used for hatbands.

SUNDAY SCHOOL.

The annual picnic was held last
Saturday at the City Park at our
usual place. We left the church at
over on the third district ferry, on
the other side of the river we met
our car and then went to the Park.
All during the day more people kept
coming and everyone claims to have
had a most enjoyable time. The
weather was very good, the mosqui-
toes not so bad, not a serious acct
dent and nothing interfered. We
had a read good time, If you were
not with us you missed it.
On Sunday morning in Sunday
school, we had a real exciting time.
The Bible contest was coming to a
close and this was to be the deciding
time. The points required to win
were 500, the Juniors had $50 and
the Intermediates $40, the drill was
carried out as usual, but the Juniors
did exceedingly we'll. At the close
of the drill when the points were
counted the Juniors not only wor
but they went over the top, having a
total of $40 points, the intermediate:
total was $50. Although the In
termediates did not win they deserve
credit in keeping up as they did
and especially so close, some Sun
days leading and other times having
the same number of points. The
drill was not given to see who could
score the most points, but to hell

the books of the Bible, and theil
location.

All Lines During War.
intercollegiate Rowing Considered
Dead Letter-Younesters Given to
Forge Ahead In Tennis-Gof
Not Much Hurt.

Speculation continues to he me prin.
cipal activity among followers Of all
lines OF sports as to what will be the
outcome during the coming year In
the far western states.
Colleges, schools and clubs are prac.
tically agreed that all branches Of
sport should be continued on as broad
Il scale as possible during the progress
OF the war.
At the moment II would appear that
so far ms intercollegiate rowing Is con.
cerned on the Pacific coast. It will be
considered as n dead letter. With the
determination OF the University of Cal
lfornia and Stanford university not to
put crews on the water this spring,
varsity competition will be robbed Of
much Interest. On the other hand,
rowing clubs doubtless will continue 10
hold their various rcgattas.
Baseball! will be continued as nearly
as possible along prc-war lines ul-
though 1t Is believed by many that the
quality Of games offered may suffer
because OF the absence OF many stars

officials, both of the Pacific Coast
league and the newly named Pacific
Coast Intercollegiate league. formerly
the Northwestern league, appear opti-
mistic In this respect, however.
Practically all of the California ten.
mis- stars, who are nationally known
already are enrolled in the service OF
the country. This 1t is c%ontendcd, will
afford nm unusual opportunity for the
youngsters to forge into llmelight and
become known.
Golf, with its larger proportion Of
men above the draft age, seems to be
less affected by the war than most Of
the other branches OF sport.
That yachting will continue 10 hold
the interest of It's devotees, Is best at
tested by the fact that reports from
various parts Of the country Indicate
that many new craft, both sail and
motor, ATE being. or will be built for
the coming season. This n~otwithstand.
ing the fact that many OF the younger
amateur stars are working with the
various mosquito and reserve fleets
OF the United States.
There appears to be no question as
to the future OF trap shooting. With
the encouragement OF shooting bcgot.
ten OF the war, this sport enjoyed an
excellent year during 1917, and the
consensus OF opinion appears to be
that this condition Of affairs will be
repeated during 1918.
Track and field teams, like last sen
SON football teams. will be among the
heaviest sufferers rs far as candidates
are concerned. and while competition
Is expected TO be keen. n repetition Of
last year is looked for In the dearth
Of notable performances In the matter
OF record breaking.
