charged to the grounds last season.
This season 3 cents war tax must be

This sum may not seem great. but

Upsetting the dope, which pre-
dicted a Hagerstown victory be-
cause Doc Ferris athletes had
long been rehearsing, Country
Morris and his aggregation yes
terday copied the opening game
Of the 1918 Blue Ridge League
season by the score Of 3 to /,
and turned away about 900 Ha-
gerstown fans grumbling be-
cause their proteges had fallen
before club that had net even
praGticed.
To look at Martinsburg in the
field or at bat it would have been
difficult to tell that the men had
not been in harness for at least
week. The club played togeth-
er throughout the contest and
used as much 'inside stuff" as
did the losers. And, by the way,
a little more of that hit and run
game, for which the local squad
has always been noted.
Myers In Fine FettIe.
Brawny Brandy Myers, pride of
Shepherdstown, hurled the West Vir-
ginians to- victory, and perr5rmed his
task we'll, as the box score will in
dicate He paid no attention to the
fact that he had new club behind
him. the majority of whom he had
never seen or heard tell of, but got
on the slab and hurled in mid-season
form, with the above-told result.
Zinn, who hurled last year under
the name OF Hinldle, was sent to the
mound by Ferris and he pitched a
creditable game, but did not follow
the standard set by Myers. Seven safe
Wallops were collected off his delivery,
while the Hagerstowners touched up
Myers for but three blows, each OF
which netted a single cushion.
Rain Hats Proceedings.
Rain halted proceedings of the game
about ffhe fifth stanza, but as five in

and fans who Were there did not
have occasion to worry. Play was re.

ARMS FOR AMERICAN RIFLEMEN

The Arizona Council of Defense
is advised that the War Depart
ment now has a supply of more
than 100000 service rifles and
that 13, 900 a day are being added.
This happens to be two and a
hall times as great as the daily
product in England. In addi-
ton, on hand in the United States
are 280,000 effective rifles of
three other types, suitable for
training purposes. 1t is noted
that only about half the Ameri-
can troops carry rifles in service.
Ball cartridges are being turned
out at the rate of 1900, 600 a day.
The War Department claims that
its action in turning toward a
modified Enfield rifle, an i'm
provement on the English type,
to take the Springfield ammuni-
ton, has been proven the right
thing to have done and that
American rihemen now have the
best small arms in existence.

OLDER MEN IN WAR WORK

Walter Camp, the famous ath-
lete and trainer, warns the
American people that defeat
means subjugat.on. Perh a p s
there are nations and races meant
for slavery, but to an American
freedom means so much that the
horrors that would come from a
defeat and subjugation would
probably produce a suici d a |
mania Spiritually, a defeat at
the hands of Germany would
mean that our American youth
would turn from thoroughbred
racers to dreary draft oxen,
struggling with a hopeless load.
The picture seems impossible.
Shall we make it impossible? If
we are going to do this, every
one not only of military age,
but beyond that-must make
himself physically fit to stand
the strain of a long contest.
There are 100000 men in this
country between the ages of 40
and Cd upon whom the brunt of
the financial and executive work
must fall, and they must renew
their youthful vigor and endur-
ance, if they are to support prop
erly the men in the line. You
cannot whistle physical condi-
tion back like dog when you
need it.

THE FIVE LITTLE PIGS
"a Story for Children)

This little pig went to market.
He bought sugar and flour to
hoard away and the only reason
he didn't buy ten times more
butter than he needed, was be-
cause he thought the price might
go down.
This little pig stayed at home.
There was Red Cross work to be
done and she was badly needed.
This little pig had roast beef
and bacon on beefess-porkless
day in spite of all the food ad-
ministration has said, and know
ing full well what it meant to
France for him to be so selfish.
This little pig had none = but it
wasn't his fault. The butcher
shop was closed on Tuesday and
he squealed about it to beat the
band.
This little pig said wee. wee,
wee. Let George do it--don't
touch me. -
Have you a little pig in your
home?

WASTE YOU SHOULD PREVENT

Keeping quality is of vital i'm
portance in these days of high
costs and low supply of food
products.
No matter how high the quail
ty Of an article purchased, if it
lacks keeping quality it repre-
sents so much certain waste.
This is noticeably true Of Bak-
ing Powders. A Baking Powder
that is effected by time or eli
matte conditions one that de-
teriorates is bound to cause bake
day loss. Such a powder not only
necessitates using larger amounts
but invites failure thru it's uncer-
tainity. These powders should be
avoided. No matter how big a
quantity you obtain mo matter
how cheap they may seem be-
cause of low price, they are ex-
pensive as they waste in mater
ials many times more than saw
ing of cost. Calumet Baking
Powder is a quality Baking Pow
der with the greatest of keeping
quality. 1t retains it's wonder
full leavening power-regardless
of how long it may stand on your
pantry shelf. You use but a
level teaspoonful when the can is
first opened and you continue to
use the same amount to the last
spoonful. This means economy
in Baking Powder-and what is
more important it means econ
omy in bakings. Its moderate
price combined with superior
quality and dependability marks
the greatest of buying economy.
You save when you buy it. You
save when you use it. And you
save the materials it is used with.
Its economy, purity and unap-
preached keeping quality keep
millions of women buying Calu-
met in preference to any and all
other brands.

of the country's discriminating
play-goers.
Included in the company are
many of the clever principals

GODS BLESSINGS

The steel that has suffered the
most is the best steel. 1t has
been in the furnace again and
again; it has been on the anvil;
it has been caught tight in the
jaws of the wise; it has felt the
teeth of the rasp; it has been
ground by emery; 1t has been
heated and hammered and filed
until it does not know itself and
then it comes out a finished and a
perfect tool. And if men only
men knew it or, rather, if men
would only admit it what are
looked upon as their ''misfor-

for they are the molding in
fuences which give to them
shapliness and edge and durabil-
