IMPORTANCE OF SHIPPING
Boats Could Be Released for Trans.
ferring Troops If Food Was Out
of the Way.

About 100000 tons of shipping
could be saved if we made 1t possible
to Withdraw ships now taking to Eu-
rope food from Australia, India and
South America.
Were this done, it would BE possible
to transport and maintain In France
a much larger army of American sol
diers. Many Of the difficulties of
CONVOY could be overcome If the bulk
Of shipping piled the single lane be-
tween Europe and North America.
Interpreted in terms of men on the
fighting front, every ship diverted
from Australia could perform an
equivalent service from American
ports and in the time it had taken for
one round trip from Europe to Aus
tralia could make two additional trips
from Europe to the United States.
In other words, 1t could furnish Eu-
rope with the same amount Of food
and in the same length Of time could
make one trip as a troop ship and
another to transport additional food

Spanish influenza
Yields to Old Fashioned
Remedy

Recent research tells us that the
Spanish Influenza germ and the
Grippe germ are much alike.
The sneezing, the racking cough
and the inflammation in chest and
throat of Spanish Influenza is swift
ly relieved by the old-fashioned cold
remedy Of goose-greese and turpen-
tine.
Science has improved this splendid
old remedy by aiding to it Menthol,
Wintergreen and other healing oils,
whose fumes, inhaled, bring relief
in twenty minutes
This new-old remedy is Nen-Tho-
Eze.
AS Spanish influenza is still
spreading, there should certainly be
a 3O-cent jar Of Men, ho-Eze ready
at hand in your. home preparedness
pays. For sale by most druggists.

August.
475 to 575 pounds. .$21.9O
$50 to 700 pounds. 22.65
700 to $50 pounds. ............. 1855
The average weight of cattle market
ed this year, it was brought out, is 80
pounds lighter than last, 40 pounds
lighter than in 1916 and 60 pounds
below the 1915 average. This is due
In part to excessive marketing of i'm
mature cattle owing to drought condi-

To utilize cattle below 475 pounds in
weight, the minimum now being sup
piled on army specifications, house,
wives and proprietors Of public eating
places are asked by the food admins

WAR MAY BREAK IN MAJOR AND
 MINOR LEAGUES Old System of "Draft" and Farming Out of Players Detriment to Minor
 Managers.

Peoria, Ill.,, Nov. 14.---War between the major leagues and the minor or- ganizations of the country threatens to develop as a result of action taken at the annual meeting of the National Association of professional baseball leagues here today, protesting against the privileges of the major leagues to draft star players from the minors.
 The protest was embodied in a reso- lution drawn by A. R. Tearney, of Chicago, president of the Three Eye League, and presented by Jack Hol- land, owner of the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Club, of the Western Lea que. The resolution demanded that the American and National leagues relinquish the right of the draft and also the practice of farming out, " players under the optional agreement. It was adopted without dissenting vote.
 Thomas J. Hickey, president of the American Association, urged the minor league organization to with drawal from the National agreement with the majors if the demand is re- fused. A committee consisting of Hol- i land, Tearney and Joe Tinker, owner of the Columbus Club of the American Association, was appointed to present the protest to the National baseball commission, at it's first meeting.
 "We shall demand the right to dis pose of our young stars to whom we see fit instead of having them drafted ; by the major league clubs at prices ranging from $2,500 down to s750 as prevails under existing conditions, President Tearney said. "It is the minor leagues that develop the stars of the majors and the smallest lea. gues should reap the financial re. ward"
 The minor leagues, however, desire to reserve the privilege of drafting players in their own organizations higher leagues drawing from lower class organizations under present regulations.

AIDS GIRL WORKERS

Girl war workers in Washington are gradually finding relief from the un- promising living conditions hereto helpful measure has been the recent taking over by the United States Housing Corporation of many of the stately old mansions of the capital for the use of these newcomers Sev- eral of these houses have already been opened and are being operated successfully.
 The establishment of the Ord nance Club" at I'll 1 Street NV. is an interesting case in point. Commod- iously built, this house is to be used as a combination home and club house for the woman personnel of the civilian branch of the Army Ordnance Department. The extensive ground floor suite has been fitted up as read ing and recreation rooms, while the two upper stories, of five rooms each, will furnish uncrowded sleeping quar- ters for fortunate 1o of the unit. Open fire-places, old fashioned ma hogany furniture, and well-filled book shelves contribute to the atmosphere of general comfort and refinement which distinguishes the whole place Winter recreational plans for the members include occasional dances musicales, plays, and other feature entertainments.
 The membership fee is $2, with an additional monthly due of 30 cents Girls who occupy the sleeping rooms pay, of course, moderate rental for their quarters. As soon as arrange ! ments can be completed cafe is to
 be opened, where nourishing food, ir sufficient quantity, will be served the members.

 The salary limit of class A leagues was fixed at $2,600 a month; Class B at $2,OO0; Class at $1,400 and class D at $1,200. The clubs will be re- quired to deposit substantial guaran- tees with the league presidents and failure to enforce the salary limits will result in fine for the first two offenses and forfeiture of their fran chise for the third offense.
