Big League Magnates Have

one or more deals of importance.
Cubs Started 1t.
Tho David Harum stuff started
carly in December when the Cubs
and Phillies cooked up the deai
Which sent Alexander and Killifer to
chicago. In return. the Phils got
Prendegast and Dilhoefer and
promise of much cash. Later the
same two clubs engineered the swap
which sent Paskert to chicago Aoi
Next came the big deal between
the ped Sox and Athletics which
eventually brought about the trans
fer of SchanS. Strunk. Bush and Nc
Innis to Boston for Gregg, Thomas'
Kopp, Gardner, Cady and walker
That was some deal, too.
The Browns got busy about mid
December. They sold Shotton and La
van to Washington and got Pltcher
GalIia. Later St. Louis sold BOD
Groom to Cleveland and figured in
deal which sent Lee Magee to the
Reds.
Big Three COrnered Deal
The Giants. Cubs and Braves fig
11red in a three-cornered deal. George
TYLER went to the Cubs for Doyle and
Wilson. Doyle and Barnes then came
to the Giants for HerZog and later the
Braves got Jimmy Smith from Nc
Graw.
The Browns came back with anoth-
err big deal. trading Plank and Pratt
to the Yanks for Nunamaker. Cullop
Shocker. Gedeon and Maisel. Then
came the purchase of George Burns
by the Yanks from Detroit and the
swap of Burns to the Athletics for
Bodie
The Dodgers and Pirates had their
fling, too, trading Stengel and Cut
shaw for Mamaux, Grimes and Ward.
Several other deals were started, but
did not materialiZe.
The Cardinals and White Sox were
the only clubs which did not figure in
deals of Importance. The David Ha-
rum fever surely did not hit the mags
by chance.

whole of Stone County will be
clean from a Sanitary stand

-, 400 by the County, $500 by
the Town of Wiggins and 5000 by
the Town OF bODQ.

Triangle Collections In May

Atlanta, Ca, April. - "Clean Up"

tions on the last campaign.
In a report by R. H. King, director

cent OF the collections had been made.
It is his aim to make that percentage
climb to IS per cent by the end Of
Clean UP" week and local committees
will act accordingly.
Two states have already exceeded
the SO per cent mark; Mississippi and
Florida. Georgia comes next with 71h
per cent, the others are as follows:
Alabama, 70; South Carolina, 68;
North Carolina, 6S; Tennessee, 90.
"The mobilization Of dollars In d.
rect gifts to be applied to national de-
Tense is q shortcut method Of winning
the war;" said A. H. Whitford, ma
tional financial campaign director,
when told Of the Clean Up" week plan
Of pushing collections of subscriptions.

He sold some cattle and bought
Liberty Bonds. But while he
was in the COW lot trading on
the cattle, Mr.. Davis remarked
in the presence of old Jersey,
(who seemed to be listening) that
we must feed the boys at the
front, and that Kaiser Bill must
be licked.
So after the cattle buyer
drove away he turned old Jersey
back into the pasture, and She
walked away very indignant, on
the next day she brought up to
the lot tw fine heifer calves. He
says it's good investment. Try
buying a few Liberty Bonds.

Red Cross Picture Coming.

'THE SPIRIT OF THE RED CROSS" great
war film, will be shown at the STAR Tt1EATR RE
in Virgins Thursday, May 16.
a. The scene of this play was laid in New Orleans,
perhaps the most typcaly French city in the United
States and for that matter outside of France itself There
is about every atmosphere of France which lends to it
an instant and gripping appeal.
sS The Battle scenes staged at Camp Shelby and
were participated in by real soldiers of the United
States army James Montgomery Flagg the great Amer
lean artist wrote the play and staged personally Into
it he has woven simple heart touching romance of
ammy" who goes to give his all to his country and his
weethear who in the the world loved uniform OF the
Red Cross follows him to France,
''Sammys" good byes to his home folks brings tears
to eyes accustomed to them and when the Red Cross
follows this American boy the SEAS picks him up
on the battle field and him back to health Red
Cross hospital after he has been desperately wounded
begins to understand what the American Red Cross
is and why it is asking the American people to contr
butte war fund of hundred million dollars.
It presents in two reels the subtle and appealing
story and leaves the picture mbued with the thought
that helping the Red Cross do such things is the next
best thing to actually fighting for ones country.
