Tired mothers sometimes feel that il

If the patriotic play week is held as
part of the county fair or other neigh
horhood gathering, the whole family will
be able to have a part in its pleasures
and benefits. From now on, there will
be none too much time for making ready
for a play week. and mothers are urged
to give such help as they can in this
community movement, both through their
own children and by assisting with the
community arrangements for the play
week.
One suggestion which should appeal
especially to the mothers of young chill
dren is for an exhibit of the materials
used in the home play of the younger
children. This might include sand

made toys and other devices for the en-

mothers and fathers are indispensable
to the success of all such undertakings,

Colored American Citizens

Americans of every section, of
every class, and of every race have
answered the call of their country.
"Twelve million colored people
have rallied to the defense of their
country in this crisis, and will do
their full share in helping to win
this world war for democracy"
DR.. Robert r. Motion, principal of
Tuskegee Institute, successor to
Booker T.-Washington in that that
office, said recently in an address
at the Twenty-seventh Tuskegee
Conference.
The colored American citizens
will do their part in producing
toodstuff on the farm, in conserv-
ing food in the home, and in fight
ing in the trenches in Europe, said
DIR. Motion, and in addition the col
ored ministry and the colored
teachers will preach and teach
thrift among their race.
1t has been impossible to obtain
figures on the amount of Liberty
Loan bonds purchased by colored
Americans in the first and second
loans, but it is known that accord
ing to their means and ability the
colored race were very loyal and
active and most liberal Subscrib-
erS to the loans.

Where Loyalty Belongs

The Herald has long entertained
the views expressed in the follow
ing excerpt from the editorial col
umns Of the Times-UniOn:
No man should go to a country
and enjoy its superior liberties
and profit by it's superior advan-
tages without becoming thorough
ly identified with it in feelings. If
he cannot do this he should keep
away, If it offers him no superior
advantages or greater liberty he
should stay at home. If after
coming he does not find the advan-
tages are greater or the means of
liberty are beyond what he enjoy
ed in his native land he should go
back. No man has a right to live
in one country and render his al
legiance to another.
No man should be permitted to
live permanently in a country
without becoming a citizen and
during the period before he can
become a citizen he should enjoy
no privileges or exemptions be-
cause Of his claiming allegiance to
another nation. For instance the
German or Italian or Frenchman
or Eglishmen who comes to this
country should have no claim on
the country he came from for pro-
lection. He should take his
citizen and no foreign nation
should be recognized as having
any right to interfere. Equally
true is it that if an American went
10 Mexico or Venezuela to live he
should by so doing divest himself
of the protection Of the United
States. He should take his chances
with the people of the country to
which he went to live. He should
be amenable to the laws and the
courts of that country and the u
nited States should not interfere
in his behalf. A man generally
gnows where he is going and what
to expect. If he does not it is his
misfortune or good fortune as the
case may be and what happens to
him should be no concern Of the
country he leaves.

Transportation For All Farm
Products

Representatives of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
after conference at the Office Of
the Director General of Railroads,
were informed that the Director
General has not promulgated list
of non-essential farm products
which will be denied transporta-
ton facilities, and does not con-
template issuing any such order.
Request was made that the De-
partment of Agriculture dissent
nate this information as widely as
possible to the farmers of the
country.
The Director General believes
that under the, plan now being for
mulated it will be possible to pro-
vide adequate transportation for
farm products this year. Farmers
should place orders for cars when
needed with local freight agents,
as has always been the practice.

Florida Leads All

The New York Evening Post
has issued its 1917-1918 Winter
Resort Guide; and from it's con-
tents it might truthfully be called
the "South Florida and West
Coast of Florida Resort Guide. "
Practically half of the seventy
odd pages in the book is taken up
with west coast Florida and CEN
trail South Florida advertisements,
pictures, and a signed article by
Mrs. Maude Littlefield Ballard,
running through the entire guide,
weaving into the whole the truth
that west coast Florida and CEN
trial South Florida are the most
popular of all the resort sections
of the country this season.
Mrs. Ballard has written a sto-
Try of actualities, and has clothed
them with the delighting garb of
simple truth told in language as
charming as is the country she
writes of. 1t is the climax of her
efforts this season to place the
west coast and central South Flor
ida in their true and deserved
light before those whose knowl-
edge of the regions is but a "smat-
tering" from the labor of some
publicity man. "
The quaintness and beauty Of
her introduction is an index to the
style and charm of the story:
Out of the hundred millions of
people who live in America only a
few thousands know of the state
where the ordinary hardships of
daily life are completely rubbed
off the slate because of the climate
"a climate such as Florida alone
possesses. The great mass Of
Northern and Western people
have fallen into the habit of be-
ieving that a winter in Florida is
only to be thought of by people of
unlimited leisure and plenty of
money. They do not realize that
the moderate cost of living in
Florida more than compensates
for the expense Of making the
trip, and the business man, worn
out by the grind of a years work,
overlooks the fact that a few
weeks spent in the rejuvenating
climate Of Florida will make him
fit to "speed up" the rest of the
year.
Hundreds of thousands of "cliff
|dwellers" in New York pay rent
the year around on a non-produc-
ing summer cottage for the sake
of having a place to spend six
weeks of the summer out of town
but it does not occur to them that |
they could own, in Florida, a Win
Ter home that would be a ear a.
round moneymaker. A house is a
house anywhere, but if you put |
that house on an acre of land that
will produce some kind of food
stuff every month in the year in
stead of putting it on a lot which
produces nothing but city taxes,
you have made an investment of
permanent value. Some day all
New York is going to wake up to
the fact that Florida has been con-
verified into a winter suburb Of the
big city and the trip of thirty six
hours to a winter home will not
seem more difficult than a trip to
Maine in summer-Tampa Trih-
une.

many of the squash players the Blue

surprise indeed when Yale won two
matches, one defeat being handed to
A. {. Scott, the Columbia captain. The
Columbia team only won when r. T..
Strcbcigh, Donald McClave and Harold
kellock, the three last men to oppose
Yale opponents, captured their respcc-
tive matches.
Lack Of Stamina
The defeat of Scott can be attrib-
utcd to his lack Of stamina. lie failed
to follow the gruellng pace Of Cyril
/. Cooney, the onc-time Yale athletic
star. Scott captured the first game,
Id, but during this time Cooney

ably mixed up his cross-court game
with placement shots and "kills" to
the front wall. but Cooney, playing q
magnificent position game, met this at
tack with coolncss and speed
The Blodget- kcllock meeting was the
most bitterly fought of the series In
the first. game Kclock displayed a lack
OF ability to ret tha ball over the tell
tale in his efforts to keep the ball at
a low angle, and consequently forfeit
ed many aces on errors. He also frc-
Quently drove out of court.
With kellock in this moor form,
Blodgct captured the first game by
l5-7 But kellock's play improved
considerably in the second game,
which was a nip-and-tuck fight. The
game went to sctt, Kollock being the
first to collect the three necessary
aces. w
Blodget Tires BADLY
Blodgct continued his pressing tao
tics during the early part of the third
game, when he began to tire badly.
kcllock then used placement shots to
good effect, and n change of pace also
found Blodpet not on the alert. With
the Columbia man playing stronger
and smashing the harder, Blodget was
defeated by the one sided score Of
