Naval Recruits Wanted.

Every time new ship is launched, +,
whether it be intended for the Naval
Service or to carry food and other
necessities to the forces overseas, the
need for men for the Navy is increas-
ed.
Very few ships pass through the
war zone, or so called "barred area"
without their complement of Naval
gunners, ready to protect their ship
aginst attack by the Kaiser's under
sea murderers.
Since the declaration of war the
Navy has grown to proportions little
dreamed of by even naval experts in
peace time and there is yet need for
a large number of red -blooded Amer
leans for this branch of the service.
Nearly all the ratings are open in
the Naval Reserve and the best of the
ratings of the regular Navy are not
yet filled,
Men of the draft age can enlist in
the regular Navy or enroll in the Ma
val Reserve if they can furnish the re-
cruiting authorities with a certificate
that they are not needed for the cur
rent quota of their local draft board.
In some ratings in the regular Ma
Wy the term of enlistment is for the
duration of the war only.

ments can be obtained from the near-

with the meeting in Red Mems Hall on
Sunday afternoon and the the sermon IN
St. Johns Reformed church on Sunday
evening, May 10, and ending with the
presentation of Somewhere in France -
in St. Johns on Saturday night, there
was scarcely an hour when some enthLs-
iastic worker or group of workers was
not presetirg the aims, and needs and
work of the Red Cross. At the Sunday
afternoon meeting, which was well at
tended, Mr.. Dorsey Etchson and Mr..
Urner were the speakers and held the
interest of tie audience with their fine
addresses. On Thursday night another
meeting in the interest of the Red Cross
was held at State Sanatorum at p. m.
and at Sabila-yille $50 p. m. Large
and enthusiastic audiences were present
at both places. Rev. Mr. Firor presd-
ed No one present can ever forget the
addresses made by Judge Worthington
and Guy X. Motter, both of Frederick.
1t was a great evening in the history OF
the village. Hauyers district has indeed
over subscribed, the total having reached
six hundred dollars. State Sanatorium
is included in this. On Saturday night IA
Red Cross Benefit given by st. John 5
young people was attended by record

way that enabled them to pass on the
thought and prtriotism to the audience.

AGAINST AGENTS OFFERING
 APPROVED BOOKS
Government Gives Away or Sells at Cost All Publications Under It's
 Authority, Officials Say

Montgomery October 27.-(Special) Because of the appearance of book agents in Alabama who represent cer- tain books have been approved by the government the Alabama food ad- ministration has found it necessary to issue a warning against the purchase of any books claimed by the agents to have the sanction of the government The statement says agents are charg- ing as high as $4.75 for the publica- |tions
 Agents in many places are canvass
 ing from door to door with publica- tions purporting to be issued by the government representing that they have government sanction" says the statement "They are charging as high as s475 for the publications. The food administration has been requested to publications have been authorized by the government.
 "The publications issued by the gov ernment are always given away or sold at cost, or in the case of certain school textbooks prepared by the food ad- ministration, sold under contract with the publisher to charge the price fixed by competition, ranging from 20 cents to 50 cents Anyone who engages in the scheme, such as above describ ed, is guilty of false representation, if no more.

Montgomery, October 2T.-(Special) Following request from John H. Wal lace, commissioner of game and fish of Alabama. Robert Lansing. Secretary of State, has suggested the drafting of conventions for the purpose of protect ing migratory birds in Mexico and Cen tral and South American countries. MT. Wallace has received an answer from the secretary in which the statement is made the matter of drawing up the treaties has been placed in the hands of the department of agriculture at Washington
 MT. Wallace, at meeting of the international Association of Game, Fish and Conservation Commissioners in New York in September, drew up resolu- tion asking the President to propose a treaty with these countries in order that migratory birds might be protected during the winter period. The atten tion of the Secretary of State was called to. the resolution, which was unani- mously adopted, and it appears now that the treaties will be proposed with the Central and South American and Mexican countries
 In the letter to Mir. Lansing MT Wal lace said The convention between the United States and Great Britain for the protection of migratory birds in the United States and Canada, pro claimed on December 8, 1916. is of the most tremendous importance In the matter of protection of migratory wild life, although in order to complete our programme in this regard it is impera- lively necessary that migratory birds be protected in the republics of Mexico and of Central and South America, in which countries they temporarily SO journ during the winter period of their migration"

EDUCATION LAWS
 . HARD ON V|OLATORS
Alabama Teachers Must Obey State Regulations
 or Lose Out
By $. J. MnL1NGHAM.

The Alabama education laws are less flexible than some of our federal laws. A few months ago an ex-wielder of the expire, decided, after he had tried "his hand" at several other jobs" that none of them were as congenial to his talents and mild temper as that of dispensing knowledge from his inexhaustable storehouse of invaluable facts to the urchns and lasses who were hunger ing and thirsting' for it, and the con stant and thorough exercise of the scep- ter of authority over the incorrigible subjects of his little empire. There- fore, he conferred with well known authority or educational law In order to find out if there were any provisions made in the state laws whereby he might have his certificate reinstated and resume his old position as peda- gogue.
 In view of the fact that he had taught many years and had held first-grade certificate for seven years, and on ac- count of the lack of 8 sufficient num- Der of teachers to fill the vacancies in the state faculty, he hoped to be re- instated. But in this he was sadly dis appointed. for the gentleman with whom he was conferring replied that there was no remedy for his case; that the education laws of Alabama are like the law of the Medes and Persians which alter not.
 On the other hand. those who wish to enter the civil service have to pass an examination upon certain subjects, but exceptions have been made during the present crisis and young men and wom- en have been given temporary employ ment in the government mail service without examination.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By LANES J. coRpETr

, cided that I would quit the window dressing business for good and go in l for managing boxers Up to that time had been window dressing during : the day and managing Griffin's affairs at night
 During the six years that Brown was under my management he took on and whipped two worlds champions and earned more than s170O00. I think his total earnings is a record for a non champion who never was anything more than very good second-rater. Brown was picturesque fighter and I seized upon that fact to get reams of publicity for him. I tried to get his name and picture in the papers every week or so with big spread stories. The public seemed 10 take to the articles concerning Brown and he became a big drawing card.
 Some years ago Jack Britton walked into my office. told me he had been boxing for more than 10 years-but hadn t been able to make a dollar. Brftton asked me to handle his affairs. So sent him to gymnasium and started him at rigid training. I kept him at it for many weeks. Then I turned Britton loose and ever since that day he has been one of the biggest drawing cards in pugilism He has earned more than s75,0Oo during the past three years-and his earning power is still undiminished.
 "A tall, thin youngster came into my office about five years ago and asked me if I would manage him. I said to him;
 What's your business"
 And he answered:
 Insurance agent
 Then said to him that I didn't make it business of managing insurance agents.
 But protested the youngster I want you to manage my boxing affairs. My name is Barney Lebrowtz and l have been boxing under the name of Barney Williams in Philadelphia l haven't had very much experience in the ring game, but think would make good if I had somebody to manage me
 T liked the appearance of the boy and said to him:
 All right I'll manage your affairs, but the first thing you've got to do is to change your fighting name. Barney Williams doesn't sound savage enough Your name after this will be Battling 2 Levinsky.'
 And since that day Levnsky has earned close to $150,0O0 with his fists.
 Managing a fighter isn't a very hard job-if you give a fighter a square deal I've never had any trouble with the 2OU men that I have handled. And it is all because I come to a perfect understand ing with them at the outset as to terms, as to what they should do and what they shouldn't do, and how far my power is to extend in guiding their affairs. I in sist upon strict obedience from my box CTS in everything that relates to condi- tioning themselves or to the fights I make for them. If a boxer is any good at all and will agree to work with me and be on the levef--Fll make bi. money for him."
 And Dan has never failed to make good his promise.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-28

The prize ring has known many managers who have wheedled big purses from promoters for their fighters. But I doubt if any ever has eclipsed the performance of Dan Morgan-who has been perhaps the most conspicuous mana ger of the past decade.
 Morgan, during his early days, was window dresser for a big depart ment store And he was earning good money at the business Invading pugil- ism was a thought most removed from his mind then. Morgan liked boxing as sport-but there his early fond ness for it ended.
 But. l went up to a gymnasium one day and saw a youngster there by the name of Charlie Griffin" relates Nor gan. "He arrived a short time before from Australia and he told me a long tale about his misfortunes in this coun- try. It seemed that during his shorc stay here he had had a half dozen managers and each and every one had trimmed him. About all the kid got out of the money he earned was the price for the next mornings breakfast. His managers kept the rest for them- selves.
 Griffin was very much discouraged and on the point of going back home. liked him and although I knew noth- ing about the managerial side of the boxing game. l told him that if he would stay in this country for a short time longer, I would try to see to 1t, that he got some fights-and that he got fair share of all the money he earned. Griffin gladly agreed to my plan and bac ciu Nf 25 per cent of the net receipts as my share, the 75 per cent to go to Grif- fin.
 Then I went out and got fights for the kid. Novice though I was at the time, I think I did something for him that no other manager has equslled. I landed 22 fights for him. He was soundly whipped in his first 21 bouts, yet for the 22d, I got him guarantee of s1000
 Tt was while managing Griffin that I encountered a cross-eyed boy who seemed to have quite a punch. wonderful endurance powers but no boxing skill whatsoever. The kid was ambitious however, and that particu- lar day was coaxing everybody in the gymnasium to put on the gloves with him so that he could get a workout. But all of them turned him down.
 Finally. he came to me and asked if I would let Griffin box with him. consented and the youngster, who then weighed only IA pounds. ham, mered Griffin all over the gymnas- ium, although Griffin at that time weighed 135 pounds.
 That boy was none other than Knockout Brown. I was so impressed by his showing against Griffin that I told him I would manage his affairs and assured him that there was ;a goSS future for him in the prize ring game. Brown gladly consented to have me take charge of his pugilistic af- fairs and right then and there I de-
