BOTTLES, NIPPLES
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel


RALEIGH, Sept. 9.-Nursing
bottles, nipples and baby food
are now among the long list of
commodities being purchased by
the state division of purchase
and contract, Assistant Director
w. z. Belts said yesterday. This
department has long been buying
almost everything imaginable,
from collins and shrouds to
steam rollers. But this is the
first time it has been asked to
buy nursing bottles, nipples and
baby food for infants.
The acquisitions for this nurs-
cry equipment came over few
days ago from the prison divi-
sion, Belts said land is intended
for the two babies now out in
the women's section of the CEN
trail prison here. One of the ba-
bies is that born three weeks ago
to Mrs. Pearl French of Green's
bOro, serving a sentence of from
10 to Is years for secret assault
in connection with the attempted
of her husband some two
years ago.
The other baby at the prison
is a colored baby, belonging to
one Ruth Johnson, colored, of
Halifax county, serving seven to
10 years for murder. This baby
is now between nine and 10
old, having been born
soon after the Johnson woman
was admitted to the prison in
August, 1882.

New Edition of
Game Laws Out
The 'rimes-News RureRu
Sir Walter Hotel


RALEIGH, Sept. 9.-Booklets
containing the state game laws as
amended by the general assembly
of 1888 have been received from
the printer and are available for
distribution in limited numbers,
the department of conservation
and development announced to-
day.
The booklet is in convenient
pocket size. and is used as a ref
erence by those interested in the
game laws. Officials of the de-
partment said that its distribution
will be considerable more restrict
ed than heretofore because finan-
cial limitations made it impossible
to print the usual number.
A new feature in the latest edi-
ton of the game laws is a sum-
mary of local game legislation in
the back of the booklet. The sum-.
mary contains only the main
points in local acts enacted by the
general assembly of 1888.
The booklet contains the new
seasons and shows the division
lines for the three zones, and all
other new features of the law. A
copy may be obtained by address,
ing the Department of Conserva-
ton and Development at Raleigh.
, As a measure of economy, how
ever, conservation officials re-
| quest that those obtaining copies
make them available to as many
of their friends and acquaintance
as possible since the number
printed will not be sufficient fol
all desiring to obtain them.

RALEIGH, Sept. 9.-Repair and
of the strip of
highway extending from the
Wright Memorial bridge down
past Kittyhawk to Mays Head, so
seriously damaged by the severe
storm of two weeks ago, will
probably be started either the
latter part of this week or the
first of next, Chairman E. B.

Much of this road will have to
be completely rebuilt. The cost
is expected to be about $4,000.

Farmer Boy Is
Seen as Yanks
Hurler Timber
Fred Shaffer Is Signed
After Pitching Against
Pittsburgh
By BERNARD MILES
I.;1aI press Staff Correspondent

OnlIed EEcSS SAoAA
NEW CASTLE, Pa, Sept. p
The pitching staff of the New
York Yankees, which has failed
to stand up under the pounding
of American league batters this
wear, may in the next season or
two carry the name of an 1S-
year-old farmer by from this dis
trict.
He is Fred Shaffer of Lees
burg, who was signed by the
Yankees and farmed out to the
Wheeling club of the Middle At
lantic league after appearing
against the Pittsburgh Pirates IN
an exhibition game.
SHAFFER IS GIANT
Shaffer, a giant of six feet and
weighing $50 pOunds-all muscle
and brawn-came into the spot
light when ne held the Pirates,
National league leaders in bat
ting, to two hits this season.
For nine innings Shaffer, who
played sandlot ball here with the
Universal Pottery club in the
Lawrence county league, kept
firing the ball past Pirate bat
tiers. He had perfect control and
didn't give one base on balls.
ONLY one Pirate regular, all of
whom except Freddy Lindstrom.
saw service in the game, was able
to hit the kids pitching.
Gus Suhr, who hit triple and
scored the only run made against
the New Castle independent
team, praised Shaffer, creditinG
him with a good curve.
DANDY CURVE BALL
"He's got the size to make .
good pitcher" Suhr said. whats
more, he showed me a dandy
curve ball.
After it got around that an 49,
year-old farmer boy held the Pr
rates to two hits, with the regu-
lars playing more than half the
game, he Immediately received
offers from several teams in or
ganized baseball.
One came from the Cleveland
Indians. it was reported, and an
other from the Jersey City club
of the International league. But
Shaffer declined the offers be-
cause he was undecided about
his future.
The Yankees, however, were
successful in bringing him TO
terms. In his first game for the
Yankees farm team he won cas-
lily 8 to 2 against Huntington,
allowing only nine hits. Two runs
came in the 7th and 9Th innings
after his mates had gained fol
him an eight-run lead.
His record in the semi-prC
ranks showed II wins and three
losses for this season.

while Sugar" Cain limited the
Indians to six safeties. Terrell
made a Cleveland homer in the
fifth.
Detroit took two games from
Boston by the identical score, 4
to 3. The Tigers punched some
of their seven hits off Paul An
drews in the first game for four
runs in the fifth. In the second
contest the Tigers scored the
winning run in the ninth alter
out-hitting the Red Sox, 10 to D.

REYMONDS OFFER
 LIMERICK PRIZES
SlOO to Be Given to IntrO- duce New Loaf of Bread
 to Public

The Reymond Baking Co has se- 1eoted a novel way of introducing a new loaf of bread to Waterbury. This company offers $100 in gro cery prizes for limerick contests to be held in conjunction with the introduction of the new loaf this week.
 Those who enter the contest are asked to complete four line linn erick with an additional line which will be descriptive of the new bread. Throughout this week, off- ciai contest blanks are being in- closed in every Raymond bread wrapper. All of these blanks must be handed to the grocer by May $.
 So as to add zest to the contest, the characteristics of the new bread are to remain a secret until it is presented to the public Thurs day. Adolph Raymond, president of the Raymond Baking Co, figures the best way to keep his thousands of customers satisfied is to give them something new at regular intervals.
 This has been his policy and that of his company since he went into the breah business with his broth CT, AiDeEL ncyIIoIius Who AS A~S president of the company. :.
 Ever since the Reymond brothers came to this country from Switzerland many years ago, they have been in the baking business. They owned their own plant for some time and then managed a unit of large baking company. In 1928, the present modern baking plant was built and is equipped with the latest electric oven. The second generation of Reymonds is represented by John Raymond, the shop superintendent, who was graduated from the American In- stitute of Baking.
 Of the new bread, Adolph Rev. 1mond says, The minute the wom- en see our new bread, they will know it is different from every other brand. It looks different. The crust is thinner and the loaf as a whole has creamy golden look. The whole texture of the bread has been changed. It has a flavor which is decidedly pronounced and will be readily recognized as a real treat by Waterbury residents"

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

 The following is a copy of a let- ter being sent mayors of cities and and burgessos in Con- necticut, which will explain itself;
 New Haven. Conn.
 May 1, 1883.
 We have had instructions from Washington urging us to take pre- cautions that no coercion shall be used in enrolling young men for the Civilian Conservation corps.
 In this connection we are quot ing two paragraphs from the hand book for selecting men:-
 "iEnrollment for emergency con- servation work is wholly voluntary. No coercion or pressure should be used to induce any man to enroll. No one is being drafted" or "con- scripted" for this work. No one should be urged to enroll in order to support his wamily; that, too. must be an earnest and voluntary purpose. Only applicants who are anxious to have a part in this pro- feet are wanted-there will doubt less be many times the number than can be taken. "As a corollary to this principle it follows that no agency has any right to force a man to apply for emergency conservation work un- der threat that if he does not do so his family will receive no more relief. This is clear coercion and is contrary to the whole spirit ot this enterprise"
 It is important that this pre-. caution be observed for failure to do so would probably result in un- authorized departures from the forest camps, and no -replacemants from the towns will be allowed for their men who leave the forest camps in this way.
 Yours very truly,

School Matters
 in Milford
Officials Differ Over Bene- fit of Kindergarten
 Training

The officials of Milford are not of one mind as to whether it pays to abolish the kindergarten schools It would mean a saving of $25.000 the opinion of some this is a poor return for the loss of training in the kindergarten, while others see it praiseworthy proposition.
 A petition signed by roo sigma lures asking that the kindergarten schools be maintained failed to have the desired effect. Many believe those opopsed to kindergartens will live to regret their action and say it would be sad day for the nation if it ever should reach a stage where it would find it nec- essary to skinp on education of the children.
