NEW YORK, April 16.-John ].
McGraw, winner Of the 1917 National
league championship, with his Giants,
and chief title holder to the second
best worlds series Splinter, in the
person of Heinie Zimmerman, led
his Giants into their opening game Of
the season here today. Larry Doyle
and Jess Barnes, at last reports, had
become the real property Of the
Giants, so the band was instructed
to start 'er up.
Early dispatches from Philadelphia
were to the effect that HerZog had
signed contract with the Braves,
after a long period of threatening to
hold u2 the deal by which he was
turned over to the Stallings aggrega-
ton. Governor John X. Tener, presi-
dent Of the National league, had been
quoted as saying he would be forced
ITO order the Giants to return Doyle
and Burns to the Braves unless Her
zog consented to report to Stallings.
The Giants opening was the first
home appearance on the first day OF
the season since 1915. New York
fans are counting on them to repeat
to their performance year ago in
winning the pennant. But many crit
les are figuring on Cincinnati to
prove the stumbling block in their

CHICAGO, April 16.-There was a
lot of confidence among the White
Sox when they lined up today behind
Eddie Cicotte. that the story OF a
world championship for the Chicago
Americans would be repeated this
year. Opposing Cicotte was Grover
Iowdermilk. of the st. Louis Ameri-
cans, hero Of spring series in which
the Cardinals were swept from the
map.
Eddie Cicotte drew the opening job,
partially because Manager Rowland
yielded to q superstitious strain and
start the season as he did the 1917
worlu series.
The return of Captain Eddie Col
Inns. who had been Ill, permitted the
starting of the regular lineup which
this year includes "swede" Risberg at
third. Fred McMnllin, baptlsed in the
big series last fall. will warm The bench
temporarily. There was plenty OF
color at the opening. Comiskey had a
band in operation, 400 jackies brought
another musical outfit and group of
soldiers were led by still another.
The big stand was festooned from
one end to the other with allied flags
and cOlOrs.
Lefty williams, was a possible al
ternate for Cicotte; Urban Shcsker for
Lowdermilk.

REGARDING THE new
MILL FEEDS PLEDGE


A simple pledge, of honor is more
binding to an American than a signed
and witnessed treaty is to German.
That is why Herbert Hoover, fore
seeing disastrous shortage Of wheat
mill feeds and consequent loss Of dairy
herds. simply turned to the farmers of
America and asked them to pledge
themselves on their honor to use
wheat feeds for no other purpose than
the feeding OF dairy cattle. poultry and
young pigs and calves, and to keep no
more than a sixty7day supply Of wheat
mill feeds on hand
He KNEW that. the farmers pledge
handed to the miller from whom he
bought his feed WIS as good as LIB
ERTY bond. would be enforced by his
conscience without policing or inrpsc.

Marketing of Beans: The prob
lem of marketing the bean crop has
probably been cussed considerably
more than it has been discussed,
due to the fact that many growers
have received dockage on their
beans or have been unable to sell
them.
Buyers are in the market for
beans and do not desire to buy
ballast such as rock and dirt. What
they want is good, clean product
without split beans. A good prod

longer be served, or any cream con-

CEREALS: The serving of cereal,
il discouraged as they are greatly
needed by both the Armies and the
Allies and are ideal foods to store and
transport
Rigid economy in the use OF ice and
OF coffee is also urged upon hotel
men.
Labor saved.
Conservation of labor is recognized
as of as great Importance as conserva.
tion OF food Therefore. the order has
gone out that the use of china linen
and silver should be curtailed.
Serve food wherever possible in
the plate or dish from which 1t is to
be eaten. Plate service should be es-
tablished wherever possible; that is,
the meat and vegetables comprising
the main part OF the meal should be
placed on one plate instead OF servel
in several side dishes. Service plates
should be eliminated. Place only the
amount of silverwAnre on the table that
is actually to be used for the meal, =
read the new orders .
The old general bill of fare with its
great variety Of dishes is also to be
abolished, since this bill Of fare calls
for the carrying in the Ice boxes of
large quantities Of food liable to spoil
age. Three simple bills Of. fare for
each daw. each with a limited num-
ber of dishes, changed from day to
day to give variety. are recommended d
in its stead.
Table d'hote meals are also stern'v
frowned on since they encourage
waste. Serve only what the guest Is
going to eat Is the new slogan.
In addition, hotel and restaurant
men are ordered to display no food in
such manner as shall cause its de
terioration SO that 1t cannot be used
for human consumption, to feed al
waste to animals instead Of burning
it, and to trim and save all coarse fats
from meat before cooking, that the Sc
