About the first thing the French poi
lus learned of the great American
game of baseball, after the French mil
itary authorities had officially ordered
that they be instructed by Yankee SOL
der details, was to "cuss" the umpire.
The Americans consider this a sign of
distinct progress among their pupils
to Grill into them the finer points of
the game. And baseball has taken big
with the French, and even now there
is talk Of an after-the-war League
National" with Paris, Marseilles, Ly-
Ons Tours, Strassburg, Bordeaux and
other French cities composing the cir
cult.
Sport Was Needed.
About the time the "work or fight"
law put a damper on the sport in the
States the French military leaders
who had seen the Americans playing
in every place or square in most Of the
cities and villages of France, decided
that it was sport conducive to ply
sique needed in military training and
| they asked the American authorities
for details to teach their 'men the
game.
Practically every French barracks
behind the lines was given a detail
from the American commands. They
procured the equipment and issued
guide books written in French for the
soldiers.
The procedure Of the instruction al

NO PROFIT IN STAR B0ARDER
Feeds Are Too High Priced to Waste
Them on Animals That Do Not
Earn Their Living.

Kick out the star boarder. This is
not the time to feed animals that will
not work. Feeds are too high priced
and too much needed for the winning
OF the war to waste them on slackers.
Nearly every farm has one or more
animals that are not paying for their
iced and care. They may be in the
beef herd, in the cow stable or the
hog lot. Try to spot them and then
get rid of them before they "eat their
heads Off" 1t is the patriotic duty of
every breeder of live stock to send to
tne butcher any animal that fails to

Liked the War.

They told me down South about a
negro who was drafted, big cornfield
darby who had drifted along through
life till then with nobody bothering
much about him. The draft took him,
rather frightened and protesting, and
he found himself in the army. After
the first daze of it wore off, he discov-
cred that he was being taken an inter-
est in for the first time in his life.
They took him over to one of the COM
munity service colored clubs in his
off time. There was piano there,
there were pool tables and games, not
to speak of temperance bar. There
was going to be colored dance that
night, and he heard of a dinner by the
Daughters of Zion ON Saturday. He
settled down in his chair, for the first
time in his stray-dOg life a recognized
member of the community, with a rec
oSniZed place in the world. Then he
leaned over to the comrade who had
brought him.

handed, 'fwhy didn't nobody start dis
war befo' ?''-Good Housekeeping.

NOT IN COLD BLOOD
Soldier Simply Could Not "Tilp'
His Prisoner.
But Though There Was an Impedi-
ment in His Speech, His Comrades
Found There Was Nothing
Wrong With His Courage.

He was the "baby' of the company.
This sobriQuet was not applied in
irony. His comrades had dubbed him
this because of his youth and an inn
pediment of speech. He couldn't pro-
nounce his C's, KS and SIS, especially
when those consOnants were the first
letter of the word. And consequently
his conversation had the sound of q
three-year-Old But those of his mates
who had poked fun at MIN one day
learned that though his speech and
manner might be childish, there was
stern stuff beneath.
During an allied attack the platoon
of which the "baby" was a member
was held up in an old trench by Boche
machine gun fire and snipers. The
''baby" discovered an enemy sniper in
shell hole and reported him to his
lieutenant.
go out and get him." ordered the
lieutenant.
Obeying orders, over the top the
baby" crawled, and creeping up be-
hind the Hun, forced him to surrender.
Unable to bring him back, ne took
away all his ammunition and craWled
back to his own lines again.
"What thai / do with him?" the
"baby" asked the lieutenant.
Better kill him, he's probably got
hand grenades and gun hidden about
him and we're in too ticklish posi-
ton to be bothered with prisoners"
answered the harried officer.
Out again went the "baby," all
primed for the execution. The Boche
saw him coming, dropped to his knees,
clasped his hands in prayerful en-
treaty and begged for mercy-a habit
of the Boche after they have exhaust
ed all their ammunition killing and
wounding all the Americans they can.
Twice the s'baby'' raised his bay0-
net to run the Hun through. And
twice the renewed entreaties of the
terrified German sniper made him hes
itate. Finally, with gesture of de-
spair, he ordered the Boche to crawl
ahead Of him to the American line.
! Reaching it, the 'baby" put his pris-
cner in a dugout. Then he went in
search of his lieutenant and reported :
Lieutenant, I tan't till that d.
Boche. sir. Please get tomeone else
to till him."
The officer couldn't help laughing,
and sent the "baby" back to his post
An hour later the "baby" was wound
ed by another sniper and ordered to
the dressing station in the rear.
He's all broken up, sir, because he
couldn't carry out the lieutenant's or
ders." said his comrade to the Ameri-
can Red Cross worker in the dressing
station.-From a Red Cross Scrap
