underwater was recently drafted into
the army and Immediately upon his

lowing is from his book: "They took

 Gleason then explained that he was hooked up in a partnership bsu win Golf froth and also that he was going to put in a bid for the Ocean View Athletic club of San Francisco, which he controlled.
 But in both instances these are to be percentage bids" said Gleason. 'In neither case am I bound to make joint bids with anyone else or put in an indi- vidual bid"
 Well then. what do you say about our putting in a joint bid?' asked Rickard.

ALABAMA OFFICERS NAMED INSTRUCTORS
 IN FOURTH CAMP
Men at Camp Wheeler Are Much Interested in Com
 ing Athletic Events

Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga, May D. (special.) l.)-several Alabama officers have been appointed as instructors in the four officers training school to open May 15. The commanding officer of the school will be Lieut.. Col. Will liam H Beck. Maj. Frank c. McAl- pine of the 117th field artillery is the senior artillery instructor, and Capt. Archie M. Watson, formerly assigned to the 12Sd infantry but now with the 106th trains, is senior infantry in structor Captain R. l.. Nathan, 106th trains, is adjutant, and First Lieut.. D. G. Buckhead, e. M. C., quartermaster and mess officer.
 Surgeon and instructor in sanitation. Lieut. Edward B. Beasley M. R. C.; assistant instructors in field artillery, Lieut. D. o. Hickey, Lieut.. John H. Ca to and Lieut.. G. M. Cheney.
 Assistant instructors in infantry, Capt. Miles D. Savelle, 123d infantry; Capt. J. G. c. Bloodworth, 122d infan- try; First Lieut.. E. s. Hathaway, 121st infantry; First Lieut.. Alexander D. Cameron, 123d infantry; First. Lieut.. Thomas W. Dupree, 124th infantry; First. Lieut. Thomas E. Lipsconb, 124th infantry; Second Lieut.. Oliver Kemp, 124th infantry.
 Every regiment and other separate organization at Camp Wheeler will have big time in athletics when more than 5000 soldiers will take part in the regimental athletic meets. Every soldier will get an opportunity l, h. i- 6n of in all-round test, which will call for skill and ability in jumping, throwing gren- ades, chinning the horizontal bar, sprinting and long distance running.
 Although there will be about fif- teen different athletic meets taking Ilace at the same time in various parts of the camp and each meet will determine which company has the win- ming athletes, the real purpose of hav- ing the events take place on the fields IS to get as many men as possible into competition.
 The events will be: 100-yard dash for time, high jump over fence, grenade throwing for distance, pulling up body or horizontal bar, broad jump over trench and half-mile run in heavy marching uniform.
 Colonel Graves is one of the most interested officers at the camp in box ing exhibitions. Among the best box CTS of the Alabama artillerymen are Sergeants Forbes and White, Battery B; Private Green, Battery A; Private Bowers, Battery A; Private Carey headquarters company; Private King Battery F; Private Sweringen, supply company; Privates Page, Davis and ] Rounsley, Battery F; Cook Watt, Bat 5 tery F; Jones of Battery E. and Cook of Battery A.

 Every fight promoter of prominence in the United States was anxious to submit

BEST RESULTS FROM CHICKS
Those Hatched Early Are Stronger and
More Vigorous Than Those to
Come Out Later. IA

GPrepared by, the United States Depart.
= ment Of Agriculture)
All things considered the early
matched chicks give far the best re-
suits. AS a rule they are stronger and
more vigorous than those Matched later
in the spring. They are produced from
eggs laid while the hens are in their
best breeding condition. After a long
period Of laying hens lose something
of their vitality and their capacity to
transmit vigor to their offspring, and
so late-hatched chickens are, on the
whole, decidedly inferior to. early
matched in inherited vigor and consti-
tuition. h +
Because they are more thrifty and
vigorous, early-hatched chickens make
quicker, better and cheaper growth
than late chickens. Thrifty chickens
get more from given quantity Of feed
than others. Weak and understood
chickens often consume as much feed
as much larger and better-developed
birds and still make no perceptible
growth
