baseball through war taxes and the
advanced cost of living, Mr.. Foster be-

the player limit to IS or 20 players.
Foster is an optimist concerning the

the clubs will be hit hard through the
draft, he sees no reason why the clubs
cannot go right along with the players
who are available.

Blind Faith Put in Prophet at
Oklahoma City.

Camp Doniphan, Okla, Jan. s.
Speaking of weather, there is mere
variety of weather at Camp Doniphan
in less time than most any other place
in the world. The weather here
changes faster than boy can hide MS
first corn silk cigaret when he hears
his mothers footsteps coming around
the corner of the barn.
The soldiers will start out to drill
after dinner. 1t will be so warm tnal
most of them will leave their WOODEN
blouses behind and drill in their shlrt
sleeves. Probably it will keep up-that
way for an hour or two and then the
wind will swerve around to the north
and come whistling down off the mis-
carrying froStbite in every pull "A
drop of from 20 to 80 degrees in tenn
perature in an hour or so isn't any
thing at all. 1t happens frequently.
But forewarned is forearmed, and the
men nearly always know when there
is to be any sudden changes for the
worse or when a blizzard is on its
way here.
The government weather bureau at
Oklahoma City takes good care of the
soldiers. Every time a blizzard makes
up it's mind to sweep the camp, every
time the thermometer gets tired hold
ing up the mercury and wants to drop
it, the weather bureau knows about

fifth division onsthe long distance tel

Watch Forecasts Closely.
Sometimes it is blizzard, some
times it is a cold wave, sometimes
snow, maybe sleet. But whatever it
| is, the weather bureau seems to get
i advance information and is kind
enough to let the guardsmen in on the
secret.
| At first no one paid any attention to
the advance information. The first
| tip was that a drop of thirty five de-
4 grees was expected within four hours
/ Headquarters Immediately telephoned
all the organizations and passed on
the information so the men could be
prepared for it But no one paid any
attention to the warning. 1t was the
same old thing. But the drop did
come, and at the time predicted.
1t was the same way the second and
the third time, for soldiers are just
| like anyone else-they cannot be told
anything. They must learn from Their
| own experience just what is best for

been caught several times unprepared
for the cold weather when they were

received Saturday night that the Their
mometer would drop approximately
thirty degrees in the night The
weather was just as clear and warm
with the wind in the south as it is
back home on the most beautiful OF
spring days. Ordinarily no one would
believe that it would change so sud
denly. But the men knew from ex-
perience just what to expect when the
weather bureau sent out its report
for the weather has a habit of stand
ing by the predictions to the letter.

THINKS 1T DOESN'T PAY
Doctor Helped Soldiers and Is Out
Auto Tire for His Trouble.

DR.. C. c.. Stillman of Morganville,
Kan, is wondering great deal these
days whether or not it pays to play the
good Samaritan to an auto party that
is in trouble. He says that party
of soldiers, including a captain, he
thinks met him on the Silver Lake
road nine miles west of Topeka just
before Christmas and that the party
was in distress because of flat tire.
It was zero weather, the doctor says,
and thru sympathy he let the soldiers
have one of his tires with the under
standing that they were to leave it at
the Cremerie restaurant for him. To
date, he says, the tire has not been
heard from, nor have the soldiers.
and he vows that the next time he
will show q little less sympathy and
a little more judgment in accommo-
dating strangers.

ONE DELIVERY DAILY
Hutchinson Firms Go on War Econ.
omy Basis to Reduce Help.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. S.-Hutchinson
grocers and other retailers have COM
menced making war time deliveries to
customers as a result of a conference
last week. Only one delivery will be
made daily and for all deliveries of
small purchases an extra charge of Is
cents will be made.
The object is to cut down the cost
of operation and ito relieve the short
age of men. The move has the APP
prevail of the food administration be-
cause it will enable grocers to handle
provisions on a smaller margin of
profit and enable them to sell food
cheaper than heretofore.
Other cities of the state that have
not done so are expected to inaugu-
rate a similar saving.
The government has asked all mer-
chants to conserve in time, men, mon
ey profits to- be made. 1t therefore
becomes necessary for the retailers to
in turn economic, and the matter of
deliveries is one of the things that can
be "cut down" on.
When asked how long this order
would continue, one of the leading
grocers said that he has no idea, but it
will be at least as long as the war
continued.
