TEAM. WORK.


Base ball games now blossom
forth in. every company street.
Even the language Of camp has
changed, and you hear rumors and
echoes of home runs, base hits
and marvellous catches. We are
glad to welcome this old friend to
camp life.
Every time we play the game
the same old desire to win it
comes back just as strong as it
did when we played as boys on
the corner lot. But we have
learned some lessons in the days
that have passed since we first
swi,ng bat. At that early period
our one effort was to knock the
cover off the ball every time we
went to the bat. Hard expert
ence and much coaching finally
taught us that we could not be the
whole show. We wanted to win
the game, and to do that we had to
work with the other fellows. The
crack nine was not the one made
up of nine >boys all striving for
individual records. The winning
team was the one that played to-
gether; individual records were
Sacrificed. Instead OF trying to
Knock the cover off the ball, we
learned to try for a sacrifice hit.
We, forgot Our record in the eff
fort to help the other fellow score,
so that our team might win.
We have to apply this lesson
to cur new conditions. We are
building a bigger and better team
than the old one we used to boast
about. We are playing bigger
game than base bali. The Army is
our team and the war is the game.
As team work wins in base ball,
SO it wins in war.~-A ball team
that is composed entirely Of cap
tains would be sure to lose. 1t
takes discipline and obedience to
signals to make a crack nine.
So we must mind our signals
in this bigger game.
The commissioned officers alone
cannot win the war. The COM
missiohed officers and the nom
CONS together cannot do it. It
takes complete team of officers,
fnon-coms and men to do teach
map jim his place and every one
working for one end. That makes
a winning team and it also makes
a victorious Army.
You cannot win a base ball
championship with only pitchers.
You need a good man for each po-
sitio6. SO an army cannot win
with only one brapch of the serv-
ice. Il takes infantry, artillery,
aeroplanes, engineers, signal
corps, etc, to make the victory
certain. Here again there must
besteapl work. Each must do his
part, but he must be- also willing
to- let. the other fellow do his
share.
It takes a we'll rounded man, to
help build up the team. He can
not be all feet or he will simply
be a stumbling block If he is all
hands, he will be sure to muff the
ball. He needs to have his feet
and hands coordinate, and seach
member of his body working in
harmnrlv with the other members

Parcel post as means Of transpor-

is no reason why farmers cannot make
extensive use of 1t under certain condi-

that one Of the chief factors In pre-

of parcel post marketing has been the
price asked by some farmers for prod

GERMANS MURDER
AMERICAN SAILORS
SCORES KILLED OR WOUNDED
BY SUBMARINE WHICH SUNK
THE TlcoNDERoGA.
All But Twenty Of the $50 Men on
Board Believed to Have Perished
When Ship is Torpedoed 1900
Miles Off Atlantic Coast.

An Atlantic Port.-Scores of Ameri-
can sailm's were killed or wounded by
shrapnel fired by German submarine
after it had torpedoed the steamship
Ticonderoga, 100 miles off the At
lantic coast, according to the story told
by twenty survivors who arrived here
Thursday aboard a British freighter.
There We're $50 men aboard the Til
conderoga, an American steamship of
5l30 tons, and all but the twenty who
arrived here are believed to have per-
ished. The survivors got away in the
only boat which was not demolished
by the shellfire from the submarine,
they said. Seventeen of the men who
reached port We're members of de-
tachment of soldiers detailed to care
for horses which were being trans
ported.
The Ticonderoga was attacked, pre-
sumably on October 2, when she fell
behind her convoy because of engine
trouble.
According to the story of the suryiy.
0rs, the submarine was not sighted un-
til she has sent torpedo crashing into
the side of the ship. The torpedo did
not strike a vital spot, however, and
the captain crowded on full steam il
an effort to escape, at the same time
ordering the gun crews into actor
against the submarine, which appeared
about a mile off.
Our gun crews did not fire more
than five or six shots" one of the sur
vivors said. The forward gun wa:
shot away almost at once. The aftel
| gun and its crew were done for almos
as quickly. Then the men went int
the boats, but it was no use, as tn

well-prepared, Attractive Parcel Post.

a lower price than they can obtain In
their local markets. 1t is needless to
say that such imperfect and erroneous
ideas as to proper and equitable prices
altogether defeated the possibility of
marketing produce by parcel post.
Business in marketing by parcel post
can be secured and held only by ship
ping produce of high quality and by
charging reasonable prices.
The larger the quantity, within the
postal limits, that is shipped at any
one time, the more economical is the
factor of postage and therefore the
more attractive from the viewpoint of
cost both to the producer and to the
consumer. This applies both to ship
ments and the return of empty con-
tanners. 1t would not be economical to
secure half dozen different kinds of
vegetables from as many different pro-
ducers, but If a supply Of half dozen
kinds of vegetables, or vegetables and
| fruits, could be obtained In one parcel
from one producer it would be both
advantageous and attractive.
Another advantage to the producer
| in parcel post marketing is that his
mail box or local post office becomes
his shipping station. This relieves him
| from any extra trip in order to make
| shipment, as the rural mail carrier
| takes the shipment from the mail box
or some member of the farmers fam
lily deposits it at the post office when
| going to call for the mail.
Many farmers often have a small
surplus of produce, not needed for
| home consumption, which could be
marketed if some ready means of get
| ting 1t to O consumer We're available.
The parcel post supplies this medium.
There are also many supplemental or
side lines of production which could
be developed for the same purpose.
Mutual confidence and helpfulness
are needed In order to succeed; COOP
| GRAFTON is needed. Consumers are in
terested in buying by parcel post only
when they can secure more satisfac-
tory produce, some advantage in price,
or both The producer will not be in
terested In marketing by parcel post
| unless 1t means some additional net
return to him. A high quality of prod
uce, well prepared, carefully and at
traetively packed, and forwarded so as
to reach its destination at the time de.
sired will go long way toward the es'
adjustment and continuance of bust
ness. Ordinary or inferior produce will
not only lose customer but hinder the
gaining of others. The producer must
aim to give satisfaction by supplying
his customers, as nearly as possible
with produce which meets their indi-
yidual desires. The consumer must
also aim to give satisfaction by proper
ly caring for and returning containers
making prompt remittances as agreed
upon and by doing his part In all
phases of the transaction. In Other
words, squ@e deal is needed.

rHRoNes APPLAUD PRESIDENT
Receives ovation When He Marches
in Liberty Parade.


New York.-Presiden Wilson, COM
mander-in-chief of the American army
and navy, marched at the head of the
American forces in the Columbus-Lib-
erty day parade on Saturday, one of
the most impressive and Inspiring
spectacles New York has ever seen.
Under "a canopy formed by the flags
of the twenty-five nations arrayea
against autocracy and with squadrons
of American airplanes lowering over
head, the president strobe with 25,O00
fighting men from five continents and
islands in every sea over the entire
three-lnile line of march along the
Avenue of the Allies" Then, at the
foot of Fifth avenue, beside the Wash
ington arch, he took his place in an
automobile and reviewed the long
column.
In according Mr.. Wilson what prob
ably was the greatest ovation presE
dent of the United States had ever
received, men threw their hats into
the air and yelled themselves hoarse,
while babies were hoisted on their
fathers shoulders that they might
tell, in the years hence, of the day
they saw the president march.

Two facts stand out prominently as
reasons for the increased production
and use of milk. The first Is that
milk as purchased on the market
usually supplies food material togeth-
er with the growth-producing meat or
eggs. The second reason is that the
dairy COW is the most economical pro-
Queer of animal food. One great law
of food conservation is to turn in
edible feeds into edible foods In the
cheapest possible manner. The dairy
COW will utilize coarse materials. in
