THRIFTY UNCLE SAM.

The federal government noted for lavish expen-
diture. has certainly shown itself thrifty re-
spect and thereby fine example to private citi-
A report of the treasury department shows that
in the last year and a half the government has
bought, in the market Liberty bonds with
face value of $953OOO OOO For these bonds the gov
eminent has paid only s9O79O5 900, or about s45-
100000 less than original purchasers paid for them
and has a clear profit difference.
Uncle Sam is really not engaged in speculation
The purchases were made in pursuance of a plan
authorized by congress whereby the treasury de-
partment given fund in buying up war
bonds its own discretion. in order to stabilize
the bond market If the heavy purchases here in
dicated had not been made the bonds unfortunately
low they are would have sunk still lower. Gov
eminent buying helped to strengthen the demand
for them. The profit was Incidental rather
than intentional It is. however, a welcome and
legitimate addition to the treasury and it affords
good object-lesson for the public.
To sellers of Liberty bonds teaches the fool
ishness Of letting go their perfectly good bonds
since the government, by buying them up for less
than they worth. has been able near
" $1,000 100000 Of war debt at "a cents on the
dollar. is impressive lesson TOO. people
with money TO invest Instead of throwing away
good money for worthless oil mining stocks or
spending it in extravagant purchases and transient
pleasure. why not take advantage of Liberty
bond market just as Uncle Sam has done and buy
bonds while they're low?

kckomo and Hamilton
May Send Bowlers Here

With the state bowling tourney ap.
preaching, the managers of Twigg's
bowling alleys will attempt to schedule
bowling matches with several out-of-
town teams in an effort to intensity
the training.
Negotiations are already being made
with kokomo for a gene either this
week or next, and Hamilton is on the
string for two games. Games prob
ably will be played both at Richmond
and on the visitors alley. P. S. Twigg
announced Monday that he would stop
at Hamilton this week to clinch a
game with that team if it was not
settled the early part of this week.
Several Richmond teams will be en-
tered in the state handicap bowling
tourney at indianapolis, April IL. The
remainder of this month and the first
part of the next will be spent by the
Richmond pin knights in preparing to
make good showing at Indianapolis.
All the teams planning to go to the
capital city are going strong and show
prospects of taking some of the money
offered
The army training has produced
some good bowlers in the younger men
now rolling at the Twigg alley, and
the competition has been stronger
this year than ever. The Coca Colas
is probably the strongest team combi-
nation on the alley and has made its
entrance in the state meen a certainty.

non.
Every possible man in the school Is
expected to report for the work. Thus
far students of the lower classes are
more predominant among those to
sign for track, which has always been
the case at the Richmond high school.
The two lower classes always pos
sess a certain amount OF good mate
rial, but the two upper classes should
possess a greater amount OF material
because of the size and age, say high
school officials.
Since last week several other men
have reported for track, bringing the
total nearer the seventy-f1ye mark.
Special work in cross-country running
will be started by Coach Eckel Mon
day and later after the men have be-
come trained to take up the sitter
work, some tough track workouts Will
be given. Coach Eckel has only a few
weeks in which to whip his material
into shape and select track team.
1t is probable that no regular track
team will be picked but that team
will be chosen just before each meet
by fair tests of all track participants
By this method every boy who makes
the team and sticks will have to stay
in training and work to hold his posi-
ton on the team. Coach Eckel has
not stated when he will make the
final tryouts for the track team.
BY not choosing the team for the
entire season, other track artists can
keep training and possibly develop in
to better men

will be settled.
II the committee has the schedule
ready for adoption, the different club
managers will draw for places on the
schedule. The matter of how the
teams will meet and in what order
will be settled by lottery. The sched-

etc. The following Saturday, team
one will meet team three and team
two will meet team five ard so on.
Each manager will draw a number
from one to six and that team will
be substituted for the number.
The biggest question to come before
the s. A. l.. moguls is the matter Of
obtaining place to play on Saturday
afternoon. If the Central league does
not start, the management has assured
f. A. Clapp, chairman of the grounds
committee, that the s. A. l.. can play

Twenty-eight of them were doubles,

Connie turned him over to the Yam

His batting average was .256. He
pasted eighty-three hits in ninety one

eighty-three smashes were good for

doubles, six triples and three homers.
The story about Bodies sacrificing

His speed began to wane while he
