BASEBALL STAR MARRIED
Grover Cleveland Alexander and Miss
May Arrant Wed.

Grover Cleveland Alexander. the
famou, baseball pitcher. and Miss
May Arrant. of Omaha. Neb.. were
married Frida. in Manhattan, the
ceremony being performed by Judge
E. E. Morris. of the probate court.
Alexander is regarded by many as
the greatest baseball pitcher in the
world, and made a remarkable record
with the Philadelphia Nationals in
1915, 1916 and 1917. He has pitched
more shutout victories than any other
.rler in the game.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander first met
each other in ST. Paul, Neb., when
they started to school together. 1t is
said that their Courtship began when
they used to make mud pies together
and lasted all thru their school and
college days. When Alexander took
to baseball as a profession Miss Ar
rant closely watched the papers for
news of his efforts and it is safe to
state the news was usually good news.
Alexander was drafted and ordered
to Camp Funston. Last week Miss
Arrant, who is employed in Omaha. de-
clared she was going to Manhattan to
be married and the Beaver City Sun
of Nebraska published in full the story
of their long and romantic courtship
and engagement.
That man has a mighty big heart
commented Judge Morris, land his
wife is certainly a good looking girl. u
Judge Morris ought to be a good
judge in such matters for he has is
sued 100 marriage licenses this past
month.

Records Show Camp Funston
Has Written $357,26s,OO0.
One of First Lessons Given New
Men Is Lesson on Insurance.
AVERAGE POLICY IS $3.50
Uncle Sam Establishes Great
Record in Insurance Business.
More Insurance Written Than
Total of % Largest Companies.

One of the first things done for the
new recruit, after he has been issued
his wearing apparel and after he has
been assigned to his quarters. is an
urgent appeal that he take out gov
eminent insurance. The welfare of the
soldier Is carefully safeguarded In
this respect by the war risk insurance
bureau at Camp Funston, in charge
up to the latter part of May show that
total of $357,26S,000 in insurance
has been taken out since this bureau
was established at Camp Funston. A
total of 41.158 policies have been
written. The average amount OF the
policy is $3.50.
Uncle Sam has established a great
record in the insurance business.
Figures show that the total insurance
on the lives of soldiers is greater than
the total insurance on the books of
the twenty-eight greatest life insur-
ance companies of the world. And
this record has been made by the
United States in only a little over
six months. During the rush in the
insurance office there have. been days
when as high as five hundred million
dollars of insurance was written In one
day.
AS soon as possible after new men
arrive here they are congregated to-
gether in the big Y. M. c. A. audi
torium or some suitable building.
where an insurance lecture is given
them by Lieutenant Werner and others
from the war risk insurance office.
They are told of the many benefits to
be derived, the cost, and urged to take
out the maximum amount of $1,000.
In connection with the insurance
lecture q very instructive moving
picture entitled His Best Gift" is
shown.
Men entering the service have 100
days from the time of their enlist
ment in which to take out insurance.
However. everyone is urged to make
application just as soon as possible so
they will get the protection from the
very beginning Of their military career.

But here's little incident that

the whole story of the religious work

He had had the experience before,
and was in an agony of anticipation.
He was Catholic. and, as such,

! The Y. M c. A. woman running the

a Catholic priest, in Y. N. c.. A.
