P, B. & v. QUO|TERS
BEAT. .EASTLAKE
Railroaders Under Kid Baldwin
Hot After State Cham
pionship.

The QUOT team of the =. Il. & w. II. r.
A. A. continues TO win its games and last
night II took three out of five games from
the Eastlake NJ T.. Ushers Union in the
second set of their series OF five games. In
the opening set of the series last week the
rallroaders won five straight and the three
victories last night gave them the series,
s games to 2.
Included in Eastlake's lineup were
several players considered among the
premier Quot pitchers of the State and
members of the team that claimed the
championship last year. The Railroaders
after defeating this team-the Young
Mems Republican Club--early IN the
season claimed the championship and have
defeated every team they have faced, on an
average of one every two weeks, with
the exception of Manitou Tnbe of Red
Men. Manitou by virtue of its victory
over the F., b. 4 W. Is also claiming
the championship and the two teams
will get together TO decide which one
has the right to the title within the
next few days.
In the games last night which were
hard fought throughout Harry Dem,
for p, b. 4 W, proved the leading star,
his all around work pulling the Railroad
was present and the roofing of Kid
Baldwin, the livewire leader Of the
Pennsy pitchers, was one of the big fea-
lures.

WHY.

Millions of men have been taken
from wheat raising and have gone
into the trenches. Fields have been
laid waste By the enemy. Food sup
ply ships have been sunk by subma
rines. Crops in other countries have
5een poor. These are some of the
easons why there is a shortage of
wheat and why we are asked by Mr..
Hoover to conserve in our kitchens
and at our tables.
Four hundred million bushels of
wheat Is large amount, but we must
supply it. In one way or another we
must get 1t together here and send it
across the water to those associated
with us in this war. w canneot do
this unless we are willing to use some
other food for part of the wheat we
would ordinarily consume. That is
why we are urged, as patriotic duty,
to observe wheatless days strictly,
and on other days to use only the
minimum amount of wheat foods,
wasting absolutely none. The aid of
every individual is needed. Are you
saving your share of that 100000
900 bushels of wheat?

Dear Mother and All: q
T Well how are all the folks by this

since last wrote, but will write again
anyway.
l am still on the job and like 1t
better every day. Its been pretty
cold here but 'iss Kabibel" the Red
Gross gave US mufflers and wristlets
and sweaters so We keep quite warm.
And our overcoats and outer clothing
are also warm. When 1t is bad wea-
ther we don't 60 out anyway.
We sure had a taste of real soldiers
life night before last. had just
gone with my mess kit for supper and
just came back into our squad tent
when our tent began to rip, so great
was the pressure Of the wind upon 1t.
And 1t was a strong, cold wind too,
fresh from the ocean. Our corporal
got upon the shoulders of couple OF
the boys and started to tie up the can
vas when gust of wind ripped 1t
down and down came Mr.. tent. I
grabbed my chuck" and went in an
other tent and ate. Then it began to
rain ice. Oh say, it was cold but l
| just laughed at it. 1t made all the fel-
lows jolly to have little tough luck.
So in a drenching rain, 1--WE had rain
coats on) we moved our hunks out
into other tents; cot here and there
where our partners could make room.
l found a place in the tent where
the rain was leaking through, but il
was better than outside, so l got
fellow to help me move in. Say 1t
was great sport, most of the boys en-
joyed Natures bath and storm Well
had my half tent over my cot so my
blankets were dry, although the
water was running off my bed. Moth
ing got wet to speak of, and just
think how great it seemed to sleep
in warm dry blankets with all the
rain beating through and the tent
tapping vigorously and threatening
to 60 over.
We went to bed about seven that
night as we were afraid our tent was
going down in that awful blizzard,
and decided If it did we would stay in
bed until morning About or 10
o'clock lieutenant came wading in
to cur tent and asked us if we wanted
to go over to the "Y" that night. as
there was high ground there, but we
decided to stay there and trust to
luck that the water would not raise
very much higher, as it was half way
up to our cots already.
Some boys from other tents wad-
ed knee deep carrying their cots to
the "Y", but we stayed there. l was
afraid my Testaments would get
wet under my mattress so l found
them and placed them at my side and
then went to sleep. Next morning,
Sunday a., m. the water was all gone
and the cooks had hard time get
ting breakfast, SO l stayed in bed till
8.

AmApbreciatiOm

The passing Of Miss Irene Leirn-
bacher, one Of the, youngest and best
loved Of the members Of the Fine
Arts club. IS loss which mere
words are powerless to express.
A member of the Writer'S Section,
Irene was undoubtedly at the begin
ming, Of a literary career for which
her natural talents and her expert
ence.. as g. newspaper worker were
fitting her.
The unselfishness which brought
this bright young life so soon to the
close Of its earthly existence was
characteristic.
One Of the strongest evidences of
the sterling worth of her character
was the esteem In which she was
held by the middle-aged and elderly
residents of the city as well as by
those OF her own age.
Homes which lacked the presence
Of young people were often frightened
by her visits. Not seIfishly seeking
her own pleasure. but striving to
bring sunshine to others was her
strong trait. In her fittings about
the city either in a professional or
a social capacity she left good cheer
and sunshine behind her. while sin
certify OF purpose and freedom from
affectation made her. a young woman
whom one instinctively admired and
trusted.
We. the officers OF the Fine Arts
club realize that the loss to the
club, to her friends and to the com
munity at large is irreparable, but
feel that her passing is but a tran
sition to a broader, brighter vision.
