Our National Game.

The restrictions on baseball have
now been removed, to the pleasure
Of very large proportion of our
people.
The interest which is taken in
professional baseball indicates the
nations healthful appreciation of
clean sport. Baseball is the delight
of American boys from. the time
when they can hold a bat. During
the season every vacant lot in our
cities bears a sinoothly-worn base
ball diamond. and on Sundays and
holidays is occupied by party of
muscular young fellows. gaining
both strength and recreation from
the fresh air and exercise.
Not only does baseball train the
body, but the mind as well. 1t re.
quires quickness of eye and hand
aud immediate swift judgment.
Every young fellow at a base must
not only be prepared TO catch a ball
coming in his direction. but know
instantly what to do with it when
he does get it. He knows that the
game, after he has caught the ball.
may be made or marred by his in
slant disposition of it. so he must
know without a seconds hesitation
what to do with it. No doubt many
of our fine young maries at Chateau
Thierry or doughboys in the
Areonne Forest we're trained in
vigor and quickness and resource.
fulness by the national game,
That training is just,as helpful
toward the pursuits of peace. The
business man needs both vitality
and the power Of instant decision.
Long live baseball When you
see LOT Of kids busy after school
hours with bat and ball, don't find
fault with their shouting Remem,
Der that you are looking upon
Americas citizens in the process Of
training. and cast kiadly glance
upon them.

About Farm Products.

That farm production in 1919 is
nor likelv TO exceed the worlds de-
mands, is forecast by the U. s. De
pertinent Of Agriculture To what
extent these demands are 70 be met
by the farmers of the United States
is a question. Over production d
long any line is not desirable. nor
profitable, so the department is
urging a program more or less con

now that farming is about TO be re-
stored to a peace. time basis. The
farmer must return to his crop rO-
talions. and his production Of live
stock balancing all farming opera
tons around them, much as he did
before the war, if he is to keep his
business on firm basis
A detailed survey OF the agrCui
tural situation has been made. and
the department concludes that "a
wise live stock program will in
volve maintaining the number Of
horses and mules without material
increase. a normal increase in the
number of dairy cows and dairy
products, normal increase in the
number of beef cattle; a conserva-

facilities for feeding and pasturage
and farmers knowledge of sheep
husbandry and skill in handling
them, and with adequate protec.

| The signing Of the armistice al
the close of 1918 found the United
States with relatively large suppl,
of food crops and relatively shor
supply of feed crops. A live stock

MEMORIAL DAY
PROCLAMATION

Under date of May 10th, Governor
Sleeper has issued the following Mem
orial Day proclamation:
Each year as Memorial Day comes
around, we are glad to pay homage to
the brave men, living and dead, who,
by their splendid achievements nearly
six decades ago, saved this nation
from disruption. Their heroic deeds
will never die. Their memories will
be cherished while the Republic lasts;
for in the hour of their country's
need they left their homes. and loved
ones and went forth to do battle for
the life of the Union. Our debt to
them can never be paid, but it is our
high privilege to hold these men and
their achievements in lasting remem-
brrance and honor.
Again, two years ago, our free in
stitutions and our national ideals were
menaced by fierce and powerful foe.
Our young men betook themselves in
thousands to the training camps and
later crossed the seas to uphold on
foreign soil the honor of the flag.
With fortitude and valor befitting
the sons and the grandsons of those
patriots of an earlier day, they grand
ly bore their part in the struggle.
Now they are. coming back to US, but
not all; and through our proud joy
today, as we greet the returning hosts,
there runs a not of sadness. We
mourn with those who mourn for the
noble fellows who will not come back
to us. God help US all so to live, so
to keep and guard our birth-right of
true freedom, that we may be worthy
Of the great sacrifice they made for
us.
Therefore, that we may pay trib-
ute of respect and esteem to the sur
viving veterans of the Civil War, the
Spanish-American War and the recent
World War, and honor the memory of
the men who gave up their lives in all
these wars, /, Albert E. Sleeper, Gov
ernor of the State of Michigan, do
hereby issue this my Proclamation
and sincerely urge the observance of
Friday, May 30th, 1919, as Memorial
Day.
"And earnestly appeal to the peo-
pie of Michigan for hearty co-opera-
tion in plans for the observance of the
day in their respective communities,
and for special provision this year for
the comfort and convenience of the
old soldiers. Age is telling on them
physically but the same undaunted
spirit is there as of yore.
"On that day flags should be dis
played at half-staff until noon, and
then hoisted to the top of the staff
