won for himself high place in the
esteem of every one in the community.
Fred Funkhouser was the last man

NOTICE OF ORGANIZATION

The Beet Growers OF Northwestern
Ohio have perfected an organization
for the purpose of cooperating with
the Michigan Beet Growers Associa-

peace terms are impossible and that

The News declared the people should

the councils lack of appeal to the

The Times attitude was typial of
the remainder of the morning papers.
"The councils statement tends to
dispel the deceptive peace fog that
gathered artificially and thickened in
many allied capitals during the drear
months of winter" declared the Times
The Post said: "The supreme war

effort by the allies could change the

CLEVER GENERALSHIP
Of PH|LLY LEADER
More Than Anything Else
MOran'S Management Has
Helped Quaker Club
Following Is the seventh Of a series
comparing the major league clubs. The
eighth will appear in an early issue.
By H. O. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Feb. 5.-Clever field gen
eralship, hard work at keeping his men
in condition, and constant application
at all times to business by Pat Moran
is the thing that has kept the Phillies
in the National league race ever since
ne succeeded Charley Doom as leader of
the Philadelphia club
Moran has not mad team of stars.
He has had fairly good club at all
times. He has had the best pIrcncr III
the National league, one of the finest
Ishortstops in either league, brilliant
catcher, one sterling outfielder, and
just fair assortment of other ball
players. Most of his men are veterans
and have been considered so for years.
They are not whizzes at running bases,
but they can hit.
There are the reasons why anyone
who picks the Phillies as team which
is due to collapse had better think again
1t is certainty that the Phillies are
not going into the race this year with
the backing that has followed them for
some years The team is not so good as
it was year ago, nor is it SO good as
1T was two years ago-but it still is a
first division aggregation, and that s
where it doubtless will finish.
In bewailing the loss of Grover Alex
ander it is well to remember that after
all Alexander may heave few games
for the Phillies, for the purchase of
that star by the Cubs became null af-
ter he had been drafted. Chances are
Alexander will not be ordered to re-
port until some time during the sum
mer. If Charles Weeghman cares little
enough about a lot of dollars to pay a
huge sum for the hurler he can have
him for that short period. But it ism It
likely he will. Even if Alexander does
IL t pitch a game for the Phillies there
still remains good staff in Quaker
town. Chief Bender did some funny
things with baseball last summer and
when it gets hot again he may be
able to repeat.
In addition to the Chief, Moran has
Fittery, Buckles, Mayer,
Oeschger, Davis, Prendergast, and
Woodward. Davis, in Moran S expecta
tions, will become a real big Lacquer.
He was credited with being among the
best of the American Association s
right handlers last season and has had
a lot Of experience.
The Philly infield is intact, with
some units slowing up. The outfield
isn't quite 50 good as last year, but it
still has one remarkable star IN George
Whitted. Moran expects Eddie Burns
to capably fill the place left by Bill
Killefer and has fine understudy in
Jack Adams.
Moran gets the last thing in eff
cheney out of his ball clubs. 1t may be
his year to spring another surprise.

had struck San Antonio causing much
sickness and suffering among the men.
He writes:

No doubt it would interest you to

l am alright and if 1 keep well j. B.

throw up the sponge. because there are
so many men here, the officers can It
half take care of them. 1t gets so
terribly cold and the boys aren t used
to it. One day it will be very hot and
in two hours it will be freezing cold.
For instance, yesterday it was about 90
degrees in the shade and before z
o clock last night the wind was blow
ing a gale and it was freezing. 1t s what
the people here call northerners, and
they come up in Is minutes and last
probably two or three days.

San Antonio is city of about 100,-

nice buildings and nice stores, but the
streets are very narrow, worse than
Portland, and with the 100000 soldiers
stationed here it s almost impossible to
get anywhere in the evening. The
streets are just packed. Nearly all the
men you see are in uniform A young

From Southern Camp

lowing letter from her son. Ivert H
White, who is with the fourth engiR
eers stationed at Camp Greene:
Camp Greene, Charlotte, n. c.
Jan. 20, 1918.
Dearest mother:
l received your letter Friday even
ing and you don't know how glad /
was to hear from you. Could be in a
lot worse camp than this, they say that
the cold weather is over here about
the last of January and that is NOT
very far away. From what I hear they
are going to build a bunch of concrete
roads and the 4th engineers are going
to oversee the job. The engineers do
the bossing and the infantry do the
work, so if that is the case we will be
here quite while don t think ]
could transfer back to Vancouver be-
cause 1 never worked in the woods
and don It know much about it and an
other thing it is a long way back
there so l think chances are pretty
slim.
1t is sure too bad about Mr.. Pratt
L
nice if I could have been there for
Christmas dinned As near as I can
remember it was the first one in my
lie that / missed ism t it? Well any
way will have to keep stiff upper
lip and bear it, and will make it up
when l do come back.
1 am glad I came in when I did, got
used to it before winter came and in
stead of waiting and worrying about
being drafted
The reason it seemed so cold to us
when we first landed was because we
had just came out of steamheated
building and we had steam heat all
the way up here. And the people here
said it was the worst spell they had
had this winter, any way we all lived
through it and nc body froze to death.
We had a chicken dinner today, chick
en- and dumplings and buckwheat cake
and oranges for breakfast and dinner,
got the piece of chicken that got
over the fence last.
We got ten new wagons the other
day and have been puttino them to-
gether, it is some job too
Mother, i wish you and blanche
would make me some candy and send
me, most all the other fellows here
in my tent have got some candy from
home and I have been eating it, so
want something to pay them back; or
you could bake a little fruit cake, one
that will go in stationery box and
it will come through all right.
am sending a clipping cut out of
a newspaper, but you don t want to
read the wrong side of it like [ did
This guys little game might have
worked out all right if he hadn't got
caught at it, but now he will get about
five years and marked for the rest of
his life. I would rather go across the
pond and take chances cf coming back
what do you think about it9
Well, I have run out of about any
thinc to write. AS ever,
Your Son,

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
RrsJiasnt AsEerfeaH Society for Thrift

OF course the intrinsic value of
pure, fresh homegrown food only
represents a small part of the gain.
The cultivation of the garden af-
fords most invigorating exercise and
a form of diversion which saves
money-spending in other directions.
Possibly the greatest value, how
ever, lies in the thrift lessons gained
by the children in the home. They are
given the impulse to be thrifty in
such an impressive manner that they
will continue it throughout life.
We are not losing sight of the
fact that every square foot of ground,
devoted to food production, gives
added strength to our nation and
hence brings peace and victory lit
tie nearer. So we could, with pro-
priety, call them not only war gar
dens but peace gardens and gardens
of victory. Hallowed ground are
these hitherto waste places now dedi-
Gated to the cause of liberty and
democratic progress.
We must remember always that
every great event is but an accumu-
lation of small incidents. A sweep
ing victory on the battlefield is the
aggregate result of individual effort.
Each soldier does a little and a great
army c-nquers. Here at home we
eacn must be a soldier and do what
we can.
The cultivation of a small bit of
ground or the raising of few chick
ems in the back yard may seem small
enough, yet, in the aggregate, II will
prove one OF the decisive elements
of victory.
