The Old Mans Call to Duty.

J. III. Snowden, a retired farmer and
capitalist, told a Seattle reporter that
he is on his way back from southern
California to his old home at Calgary,
Cam, to go back to the fields. He
supposed that he had earned a rest
for the remainder of his days, but now
sees that he was mistaken. II am now
fifty-five years Of age" he said, "and
have not done any manual labor for
eight years, but I am going to hire out
this summer and fall to help my for
mer\ neighbors to harvest their crops.
1 figure that as long as / nm too old
for military duty, l can help win the
wal by helping produce crops" Thou
sands of Americans as well as Cana
dams will see their patriotic duty and
take similar action before the war is
over. The call to the colors is by no
means confined to men and youths
under thirty-two. - Nebraska State

RUDE OLDRING ONLY
VET WITH ATHLETICS
Connie Mack's Lineup Has Been
Completely Changed.
Stars of Old White Elephant Machine
Which Won Four remnants in
Stretch of Five Years Are Re-
placed by Youngsters.

RUDE Oldring, persuaded to come out
of retirement by Connie Mack this sea-
son, is the only player on the Mackian
roster who was actively engaged in
the pennant-winning campaign of 1914,
when the Athletics won their last
American League streamer.
Gone are the stars of the old White
Elephant machine which rolled through
the American league, winning four
remnants in a stretch of five years,
and in their places are players upon
whom Mack is depending to regain the
laurels of his once famous club.
The once famous infield Of the old
Mackmen composed of Baker, Barry,
Collins and McInnis, has been re-
placed by Burns, Gardner, Shannon
and Dugan. Baker is with the Yanks,
Collins with the White Sox, McInnis
with Boston and Barry in the navy.
The old Athletic outfield has faded
away completely. Strunk has been
sent to the Red Sox and Oldring has
been used as a pinch hitter for the
most part since coming back to the
club.
Bender, Bush, Coombs, Plank, PEN
mock, Shawkey, Wyckoff and Bressler
were the mainstays Of Mack's pitch
ing staff only four years ago, yet not
one of them is wearing a Philadel-
phia uniform. Bender is helping
Uncle Sam build ships at Hog is
land. Bush is with the Red Sox,
Coombs with Brooklyn, Bressler with
the Reds, Plank retired and Pennock,
Shawkey and Wyckoff in the service.
Lapp, Schang and Thomas, catchers,
have also passed along, Schang being
the only one still classed as a star.
McAvoy, who was with the club in
1914, was a fourth string catcher at
the time and is now doing half the
b2ckstopping for the rejuvenated club.
Gardner, Walker and Cady, from
Boston; Jameson, from Washington ;
Burns, from Detroit, and Gregg and
Kopp, from the international league,
have stepped into the shoes left va
cant by Mack's many deals within two
years. In short the Athletics are per-
fectly camouflaged.

New Compact Fire Escape.

One of the boys aboard u navy's
fleet has invented a fire escape which
is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object was
to provide a collapsible fire escape
which could be compacted and con-
v~eniently arranged at the window of a
dwelling. 1t consists of a container
hinged to the sill in such a name
that by opening the window and fold
ing the c~ontainer on its hinges the
metal ladder may be unfolded and
dropped. When this operation is gone
through, a means is automatically pro-
vided whereby the ladder is held at a
distance from the walls of the build
ing. The advantage of such precaution
is obvious.

GOOD PLACE FOR Y0UNGSTER
Kid Pitcher Who Worked Out So Well
in Morning Practice Saved for
Decoration Day.

Many years ago, when Connie Mack
was the Milwaukee catcher, the club
opened the season with several sore
arm veteran pitchers. There was one
youngster with the club who did not
complain of this trouble, SO they sent
him to the slab. Milwaukee was beat
en- something like 16 to 4. The kid
pitcher was downcast. 'The umpire
didn't give me any the best Of it," he
said by way of an alibi.
NO." replied Joe Cantillon, who had
overheard the remark; neither did the
opposing batters give you any the best
of it,
The kid walked off in a huff. Connie
Mack turned to Cantillon. "Tll say this
for the boy" he said. "I've worked
out with him every morning for the
last two weeks, and he looked mighty
good"
Cantillon pulled a schedule out of
his pocket and glanced owe it rapidly.
"The next morning game is on Decora-
ton day, Connie" he remarked. "Save
the kid pitcher for then"

A piscouraainu Precedent.

There is nothing original about Mar.
shall Won Hindenburg's boast that he
would drive the English into the sea.
In the Peninsular war Soult made the
same remark about the British under
Wellington that Won Hindenburg has
now uttered about the British under
Haig. Wellington did retire perilously
near to the sea, just as Haig has. But
Soult looked at the position and chang
ed his mind. Is Won Hindenburg, in
apparently still planning to give battle,
going to show less sense than his re-
nowned French predecessor?-Chris-
tan Science Monitor.

What Exporters Should Know.

A needle factory had sent to Aleppo,
Turkey. needles that were tied up with
green Irvine. The Mohammedan mer-
chant who had ordered them returned
the package, for the aso that the
use OF the green, the color consecrated
to the prophet, for such a purpose was
a derision of religion. Another con-
signment of the same factory to China
wrapped up in white paper was return
ed because the Chinese recipient would
not accept goods packed in paper Of
mourning" White is the mourning col
or of the Chinese.

TY COBB, IN 32D YEAR
is BEST DRAWING CARD

Ty Cobb is in his thirty-second
year. He has been playing with
the Detroits since 1905, the only
year in which his batting aver
age was less than 300. The
Georgia Peach has been the
champion batsman of the Ameri-
can league at the end of each
campaign since 1907, excepting
1916, when iris Speaker had a
better average. Cobb's great
est batting record was APO, be-
ing hung up In 1911. Last year
he batted 1888, and never played
more brilliantly. In spite of adj
vancing years, Cobb still is In
his prime. He is easily the
greatest ball player of all time,
and he is worth the $4,000 sal
airy which the Detroit club has
been paying him since 1914. AS
a drawing card Tyrus Raymond
stands at the head of the class.

FOREIGN TRADE TO FORE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.--Plans are be-

here for series of shipping agreements
and arrangements that will. make ship
tonnage available to American industry
for expectation Of manufactured prod
ucts as Il reconstruction measure of the
first Importance.
The question OF foreign trade is rap
idly becoming paramount In Washing
ton. Cabinet members and other high
officials have full realization that upon
foreign trade depends to a large extent
the salvation OF American industry,
As a result of this situation activities
of the Department OF Commerce arc to
DO enlarged, and during the reconstruc-
ton period It will be able to depend on
the War Trade Board in securing ship
ping space. The Department will aid
American manufacturers in every way
to ind markets in the New and the Old
World. The War Trade Board will OK
ercise its functions in securing the ship
space that will be at n premium.
The coming OF peace is not expected 20
refcase n great amount OF ship tonnage
for commercial tse because OF the neces-
sity of troop movements from the theatre
Of war. American ships, however, trans
porting our soldiers home will be used
on the trips to Europe to carry manu-
features for the reconstruction Of the
devastated areas.
