men HEAR CALL
FOR FOOTBALL
Players Have Been Notified
to Report to Coach Her
man Olcott.

Great Lakes, Ill, Aug. 10.-Great
Lakes naval training station has heard
the first call for football. All halfbacks
and ends among the $4,000 sun-burn-
ed sailors at the station have been
requested to report to Coach Herman
Olcott early next week for summer
practice.
For days and days husky jackies,
eager to play football. have been
leaving their names at the coach's Of
fee. Some of the greatest football men
in the country are now wearing the
navy uniforms. Others are entering
come u~nheralded and until they re-
port to the coach their presence at
Great Lakes is unknown.
Olcott will not be worried by a
small squad nor will be he bothered
by raw material. His list Of available
men now numbers exactly 1853 and it
Is still two months before kickoff
time. His players are the pick Of
varsity squads, many of them already
veterans Of three and four years in
tercollegiate experience.
The first practice will consist only
OF forward passing and punting.
That's why 0lcott called out the backs
and ends. He wants to get an early
line on his kickers and passers.
The football program at Great
Lakes is an extensive one. Besides the
regular station squad-probably 80
men-it is planned to hold an inter
regimental league of 20 teams playing
a regular bi-weekly schedule for the
championship.
= Such a league has proven decidedly
successful in baseball and in basket
ball. 1t has brought athletics to all the
sailors instead of the gifted few on
the station teams. With 20 football
teams of 20 players to a squad and
20 second teams almost 1000 sailors
will participate actively in the games
"a remarkable record for war time
athletics.

CONVALESCING u. S.
SOLDIERS MAKING
TOYS FOR AMERICA

Detroit, Aug. 10.-The much vaunt-
ed supremacy of the German toy
makers of Nuremberg is being chal-
lenged, as is the Teuton military ma
chine, by soldiers Of Uncle Sam.
In a tent on the parade grounds of
historic old Fort Wayne, near here,
convalescent soldiers are speeding
along the weary hours of recovering
their health by carving out II rough
wood ferocious looking lions, cats and
dogs; airships and a variety Of other
objects that win the hearts Of children
at Christmas time. Sc
Miniature reproductions Of Noah's
Ark seem to be most popular among
the soldier-toy makers. It is said,
however, that the designers are MAX
ing many improvements in the D
pearance Of the flood survivors, refuge
50 many in fact. that some Of the
products of the ark building depart
ment will have to be placed among
the stock of more modern water craft
Another toy the convalescent soldiers
are turning out is q war poster pug
zle. Many OF the attractive posters
used for various war fund campaigns
are pasted on strips Of wood and
sawed into small pieces of odd shapes.
Furniture for doll houses also is being
produced, and one soldier is making
a reputation for himself at the fort by
weaving rag rugs.
The toys are to be placed on sale
in a downtown shop at Christmas
time under the supervision Of the To-
cal Junior league. The proceeds will
be turned over to the toy-makers az
compensation for their work.
Production Of toys is one of several
activities being worked out for tenn
porarily incapacitated soldiers to

New York, Aug. 1o.-The short
session Of the stock market today

success of the Allied forces in
France. War issues and shippings

recording similar advances. The
movement was featured by United
States steel. which attained it's high
est quotation in several months.
Coppers also improved with fertiliz-
ers. Rails played only a nominal
part in the rise and General Motors
lost 3 points. The close was strong.
Sales Appropriated 10000.
Additional victories of the, Allied
forces on the Western front infused
further strength to stocks at the open
ing of today's trading. War equip
ments and shippings led the advance
at large fractions to a point with the
usual active specialties. Rails and
coppers shared only in minor degree
with tobaccos and oils. Liberty 3 1-2s

AN OPEN LETTER
From the Editor to the
Farmer.

We are facing third Liberty Loan
Tor the sustenance OF the war and.
perhaps no time h more fitting to get
together and have q little honey talk
TO the farmers of Our community.
We are engaged in a tremendous
undertaking, one that calls for sacTi-
fee and money, munitions and sup.
plies. The day for conservation has
passed and merely talking patriotism
viii not get US anywhere.
1t is not believed that the majority
OF our farmer folk realize this vet.
We say this advtsetly because recent
statistics show US that of the income
wealth of the United States during.
the past fiscal year. AZ per cent went
directly to the farmers. and in looking
the matter up we find that only two
per cent. of them subscribed for or
were holders of Liberty Bonds.
We make this statement reluctantly
because we were always prone to push
the farmer forward as representing
the bone and stnew and real stability
of the country. we thought he was the.
anchor cast to wtndward.
And we don't want to think that
this lapse was Intentional on the part
of our agricultural friends. We would
rather hold that It Is due either from
carelessness or hack of appreciation
of the condition of affairs as they real
7y are.
Shall We lay it up to setfshness or
greed or miserltness or disregard for
others? We don't want to hear the
people of the cities say that the farm
ers are not doing their part and, in
passing, it might be mentioned that
accusations Of this kind are not in
frequent.
This war is long way off which is
a good thing until We come to con-
slider what would happen IN the con-
duct of some Of our people were it
closer because It then would be
brought right home to them and no
matter how self-centered they were
they would be pried loose from their
SNUG satisfaction and their precious
dollars
II is a lamentsbte fact but never
theless true that sometimes a dollar
grows 20 such proportions that it oblit-
crates the Whole surrounding land.
scape and when we come 70 sum it up
in cold, hard figures, 80 per cent. Of
our farmers IN thts United States Of
ours are war sfsckers That is an
ugly term 10 use and strikes the ea7
with peculiarly ddscordant note, but
these are figures substantiated by au-
thoritatiye report and the question is,
what are you going to DO about it be-
cause It IS up TO you"
