Try War Savings Stamps

N/ERf many people are wondering if there
is not something which they can do to
help the country win the war. They are not
content merely 10 reduce the amount of meat
they eat or the amount of wheat bread they
consume. nor are they satisfied with the
purchase of few Liberty bonds. They
would really like to feel that there is some
definite job which they can do, and the doing
OF which will be more satisfying than the
practice of small sacrifices or self-denial
little advice may be offered to such
people. They might undertake the sale OF
war savings stamps. 1t Is not enough, of
course, that they should buy few stamps
on their own account The thing to do Is to
sell stamps, and in order TO sell great
many stamps, go out in the highways and
byways and find people who have taken no
interest in these issues and have not invested
25-cent piece in them.
If $4,000, 100000 Is TO be raised by the
sale Of savings stamps, it is estimated that
100000 Americans must become sub
scribers. That means that at least one in
every four people must put money into them
and experience has shown already that per-
sonai solicitation is the only way to make
the issue success. Advertising helps
speech making helps, and appeals from the
government help, but the best way to get
man, woman or child Interested is by personal
craftsmanship.
Hlittee5 are being formed TO push the sale
OF these stamps. There is nothing easier than
10 attach oneself to such committee or to
organize new one. Or if the individual does
| not wish to work in committee harness he or
| she has the privilege Of working as an in
| d!vidual. The field is broad, and no crcden-
Tails are needed from any authority. The
money buys the stamps, and when the two

! other security OF the government. Interest

Shortage OF physicians in Virginia, par
ticularly in the rural districts, as d result
OF the cal TO the colors is becoming so acute
as to present grave health problem While
no relief is in sight, and there probably will

his preliminary stunts as he does into
his work, be it batting or pitching, in
a game, he viii have no trouble in

at the same time. make himself a
better BAH player"
That is the theory OF John McGraw
and though it IS. on the face Of Il, a
sound and logical theory, he COM
plains that there are few ball play
ers today who adhere to IL.
I'm the days when I was player"
he said. we practiced hard all the
time. we'd get out TO the ball park
In the mornings. even Wnen II was
not compulsory for US to do so, and
practice at top speed for a couple Of
hours in preparation for the after
Moons game. Nowadays you'll see

around with scarcely any effort

Of putting something on it. No Won

THE PROBLEM FOR BOTH FRED
AND JACKLSTOAVOLD BILLY MISKE

THERE is keen competition for the
L worlds heavyweight champion
ship now that Jess Willard. its winner
by right Of conquest, has retired. Fred
Fulton and Jack Dempsey. perhaps.
are foremost among those levying
claim TO the vacated title. but they
are not alone in asking for recogni-
tion as titular potentates. The pro-
posed, and it may be pending. match
between these two would net decide
the disputed issue. There is one other
heavyweight whom both Jack and
Fred must conquer before either
proves himself master Of all heavy
weights in active service in the ring
at the present time.
That man Is Billy lIlsIze. on past
performances this crack boxer, Of
ST. Paul, Is as well qualified IN
claiming the title as Dempsey and
Fulton. Billy has not been accord
ed the recognition given these
two but he deserves IL just the
same. He and his manager. Jack
Aeddy, have been in town and
they propose to force both Full
ton and Dempsey Into a match.

Rug1llstlc titles are not TO be ac-

Failed on Billy.
Miske has already fought them.
The results OF these bouts gives him
a rating that puts him on a par at
least with them. Last February, Billy
and Fulton met in Minneapolis. It
was a nip and tuck bout. but the con-
five Minneapolis and St. Paul papers
Miske got three decisions and Fulton
two.
Just two months ago 1uske met
Dempsey in St. Paul This also was
a close call The consensus this time
was a draw. Billy and Jack each re-
ceiyed two decisions.

ers for the championship. If there is
any claiming TO be done 1liske has

should do is to conclusively prove
that he stands alone in his class. and
