With the first of January, the food
administration in the United States
will be discontinued. A. D. Wilson,
federal food administrator for Min
nesota, was requested, December 10,
to release all his executive staff and
clerical force of the state, city, and
county except the city and county
food administrators and such as
sistance as will enable him to secure
final disposition and report on pend
ing enforcement cases and observe
the remaining regulations which it is
said probably will be further re-
duced the first of the year. Mr. Will
son was notified to close all pending
matters including the payment of
bills and disposition Of properties
and to give notice of the termination
of all leases where this order will
not interfere with the policies of
carrying out such regulations as may
continue into the new year.
The Grain Corporation and the
Sugar Equalization Boards will con-
tinue into the new year, beyond this
no one knows as yet what program
is to be applied after January first
nor will even the Washington au-
thorities be acquainted with the fut-
ure plans until Herbert Hoover has
consulted fully with the President.
The general opinion, however, is that
the food administration, as such, will
follow the course of other war emer-
gency departments and close it's Of
fetal life except for definite obliga-
lions to industries. Mr.. Wilson has
been asked by the food administra-
ton, however, to appeal to the vol
unteer workers, of which the state
has had a generous quota, to keep in
touch with the food administration
that they may be called together
again should Mr.. Hoover's program
require their services. Mr.. Wilson has
notified his workers throughout the
state and extended to them his sim
cere appreciation of the splendid
service they have rendered. service
which has put Minnesota we'll to the
front in food administration matters.
The food administration announces
that all restrictions pertaining to
the public eating places are to be
taken off Monday, December %.
With food restrictions lifted it is
we'll to remember that not before the
next harvest can the United States
expect to get back to it's normal ex-
ports of food. Until then the home
MAKER must continue her thoughtful
use OF food as an after-the.war duty.

"Unbroken custom, which has pre-

the reunion and several social events
have therefore been planned for
them. The two grand balls at the

1t will be of interest to many
friends in Americus to know that
during this year at the Agricultural
and Mechanical college here Miss Jen-
ME Harrison will be in charge of the
domestic science department. For
several years past Miss Harrison has
filled the chair of mathematics at this
school, but owing to the fact of a
vacancy occurring in the science de-
partment at the last moment, Miss
Harrison consented to fill this in or
der that this important branch of the
school curriculum should be up to the
usual standard the school maintains.
She is thoroughly equipped for The
place and has organized a splendid
class which is falling in rapidly with
her methods.

ATLANTA, Oct. 3.-The Confed-
crate veterans reunion coamittee ls
ve1y much '7rirtate by the reports

unknown source and which have
been published in some newspapers
throughout the state, is not so much
for the veterans, as it is for the
sponsors, maids of honor and others.
In other words, an attempt has been
made to convey the impression that
the veterans will get very little at
tention during the reunion, while the
bulk of the entertainment will be liv-
ished on the social features for the
feminine visitors.
"Such statements have invariably
been made on the occasions of every
reunion" said Walter P Andrews,
chairman of the general committee
last night, "but they were never more
false, malicious and uncalled for than
they are today. AS a matter of fact,

A feature which has been intro
duced by Miss Harrison heretofore
not demonstrated is that each morn
ing of one week the girls in the cook

one dish to serve at the regular din

strating the efficient methods used.
Another feature is that Miss Harri-

wherein the girls are taught the ar

by the girls in the sewing department,
and these model rooms arranged by

This ball will be used in all games

BASEBALLS FOR

$50 PER GAME

CHICAGO, Oct. Oscar Hap
py'' Felsch, who plays center field
for the White Sox against the Gin
cinnati Reds, is the holder of new
record for the major league center
felders. On June 20, 1919, while
the White Sox were playing Cleve-
land, Happy accepted IL chances
without a slip. Eleven OF his chances
were flies and and one an assist.
Jimmy Slagle, while playing the
rrsht field for the Chicago Nationals
in 1897, made twelve rutouts, and
this is the record for all outfelders,
as far as putouts are concerned.
In 1877, Schafer, who played right
field for the Braves, had seven put
outs and four assists and Hornburg,
left fielder for the same CLUB, gath
cred ten putouts and one assist in
'I81. O'Prien of the oil Metropo-
litar had olevn putouts in 1887, but
:, tde an error. Dick Harlej of the
Cardinals, in 1918, had eleven put
outs and Topsy Hartsel, while with
the Cubs in 1906, grabbed off the
same number.
Eighty dollars for baseballs for
each game played in the Worlds
series!
That sounds big, but nevertheless
that is approximately what it costs
to furnish the principal item for the
baseball classics this year.
AS in other things, the high cost
has hit baseballs, which now bring
$40 a dozen. 1t is estimated that
four dozen balls will be jused in
each game. On this basis with nine
games in the series, and it becomes
necessary to run the entire string be-
fore the winner is decided, it will
cost close to $1,000 for balls alone.
The reason that so many balls
are used is because balls fouled into
the stands or crowd arc seldom re-
turned. During an ordinary game,
however, most of the balls which
leave the playing field, find their
way back.
Manufacturers blame increased
paid for materials and the high cost
of labor for the present price.
Horsehide used in covering base
balls has increased in cost during the
past three years about $50 per cent.

cent in three years. The official ball

Organizer Harry j. Casey of the

kidnapping last night. Casey lives
at the lodging house at 316 North
Wyoming street, and by coinci-
dence, occupies room 80, the same
room from which Frank H. Little was
dragged on the night of his murder,
in the former strike.
AT 1920 a. m. Casey was awak-
ened by voices outside his door A
question was asked, "Where does the

were two in the party and they at
tempted to conceal themselves in the
bath room across the hall. After Il
moment Casey slipped out of the
room and succeeded in reaching the
Finnish hall, next door.
The regular guards at the hall
kept up a watch all night, expecting
further developments. Apparently
the two interlopers did not discover
Caseys escape until later, for they
were seen to enter and leave the
lodging house four times during the
night. Three more men were lurking
around the corner all night.
1t appears that the A. c. M. gun
men are on the move again. The |.
w. w. members, forewarned by the
incident, have made elaborate plans
for the future and the gunmen will
be met by a hot reception on their
next night visit. 1t is high time that
the union men of Butte begin to tame
these midnight skulkers for all time
The attempt upon Casey was all
,, the more cowardly, since Casey is a
cripple. He is a veteran of the

States. But respect for the wearers

1t was the general opinion among
the striking organizations this morn
ing that today will see the finish of
the Today strike. The action of the
electricians, following the referen-
dunn vote of the engineers on Satur-
day, shattered all hope that the min
ers would be supported by a general
craft tie-up.
Immediately upon the receipt of
the strike vote of the electricians,
yesterday evening, the members OF

ion No. 500 considered the general
situation in an informal conference
and the opinion was unanimous that

This sudden conclusion of the

break ranks on Saturday was the
street car men. At a meeting on

cided to resume the operation OF

ment was issued by the publicity

The action was followed by the an,

though soldiers were brought down
from the hill, there was no disorder,
and no attempt was made by the
strikers to interfere with the cars.

(UUlleu IIeSS StaH correspondent.
Wiemar, Feb. 15.--Hugo Haase,
radical leader, today threw the ma
tional assembly into an uproar when
he declared the workmen's and SOL
diers' councils would continue in eX-
isteEce until the socialist, democrat
and centrist coalition demonstrates
its intention to socialize the new re-
public.
He said he doubted if the coalition
would carry out this program and
threatened new outbreaks unless So
cialization is accomplished.
When Hasse openly accused the
Ebert rtSchiedemann government with
numbering Karl Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg a riot almost ensued.
Practically every delegate except the
radicals threatened to oust Haase
and his followers from the assembly.
Haase calmly waited until the mem
bers quieted down and resumed his
attack on the government as whole,
and every one connected with it in
dividually. He admitted the SPARTA
