PRESIDENT TEnER A
MIGHTY STRONG MAN
National League Did Not Fully
Appreciate Him Until Term
Had Expired.

The reelection Of John KinIey Tener
rs president Of the National league on
Lis own terms shows that he is a
mighty mig man in baseball.
No league in the history OF the game
has ever elected a president under the
conditions laid down by Tener and ac-
cepted unanimously by the mother
league. No league may ever do so
again.
The National league did not fully
appreciate Tener until it faced the
problem Of dlling his shoes. He has
often been criticized for his reucent
nature and his refusal to become in
volvcd in the wransles that are 50
common in baseball circles every
where.
He has steadfastly maintained
kindly dignity in the performance Of
the duties of his office, and the only
time during his regime as prexy Of
the National league that he accepted

Those Who Eat Must Aid Those Who
Fight to Win War.

The United States is lust T-vou
and | and the folks next door and the
people across the way-iust US.
All the government does is our doing.
Its strength is our striving; its resources
are our saving.
What We do counts to make or break
the power of the United States-every
minute. every act-to save or DESTROY
lS.-In all we do, all we spend, all we
eat-we must have care.
Food is our first and last resource. the
the dominant resource in this war. Our
food supply is the final dependence of
our allies; the food situation is the worst
worry in Europe-worse now than when
we began to figure. On our food supply
hangs their fighting power, their chance
OF avoiding famine, their hope Of sur
viyal.
We already have shipped to Europe
every grain of last year S surplus
wheat. To keep them going we must
stretch out our remaining supply--eat
more corn and oats and potatoes. We
must send them more meat-eat poultry
and fish and beans.
That means team play-going without
wheat one meal every day and Wednes-
day every week; it means going without
meat one meal every day and Tuesday
every week; no pork on Saturday; a
weekly sugar limit Of three-quarters
pound apiece.
Team play-you and I and the folks
next door and the people across the way
will do all that needs to be done.

The Vermont regiment is now known

tached The depot brigade as consti
tuted at Westtield has been done away
with. since there was never any au-
thority for the formation Of such an
organization. 1t appears that the com
mander of the 26th division designated
the remnants of New England troops
as the depot brigade, but this was neg-
er recognized by the war department as
separate military organization. The
change is preliminary to the re-estab
lishment of some of the units as use
full organizations. 1t is expected that
the Vermont regiment will be made in
to an independent regiment and Will re-
tain its identity.
