truck growers in this section to in

what amounts of produce the farm

the army demands three things:
quality food, an adequate supply of
food, and a dependable supply which
will not fail and create an emer-

1921 S4,177 soldiers of the World
var have died as victims of this
Great White Plague. Since 1917 tu-
berculosis in the soldiers of the
World war has cost Jul government
$3.50, 600, 900.
Scientists have shown US that tu-
berculosis is preventable and cur
able. Before the disease can be
brought under control, however, it is
necessary to teach the masses of
our people to take advantage of these
preventative measures and it is ne
cessary to provide the facilities for
early diagnosis and treatment.
The necessary funds for these con
troll measures have to be raised to a
large extent by the sale of Christmas
Seals. Everyone who buys literally
of Christmas Seals can have the
double satisfaction of knowing that
he is helping to control tuberculosis
and also helping the cause of ma

GRAIN STIRS FEAR
IN TEXAS ACCIES
Victory Means Everything TO
Aggies And Grain Might
Spill It All Saturday

DALLAS. Tex, Nov. 25.-N -
Cowboy Jack Grain hasn't rocked
the countryside with a headline
emulsion in a month noW-ano
the Texas Aggies are worried
about the whole thing.
The stumpy, bass-voiced West
Texan. the sophomore OF 1889
whose bowlegs swept to elght
to,,chdowns for an average OF DO
wards on each run will be ready
Thursday at Austin when the
mighty Texas Aggies face unlVer-
sity of Texas.
To the Aggies victory m e a n S
everything-second straight un-
beaten season and Southwest con-
ference title, Rose Bowl p%osslblll-
ties. twentieth successive triumph.
The man these Aggies fear is
Jack Walton Grain. True it is that
Grain has not been hogging the
headlines of late. But to those who
have followed him closely, even
while he was playing with a bad
ly bruised hip and shoulder, Jack
Grain has been playing good foot
ball.
He has carried the ball SO times
for 349 yards and an average OF
3.55 yards. He leads his team IN
pass interceptions-six for a total
yardage on returns of lat yards.
He has a swell punting average
of 37.87 yards. And he has scored
% points.
But behind those cold figures,
there is another story. The old,
old story.
The cowboy is marked-plenty.
He might as we'll be wearing a
flaming red shirt.
Quite gracefully Grain has taken
on the MIR. K" burden and has
been doing quite a lot of team
playing while the enemy was dog
ging him.
When Jack Grain fakes a sweep,
Fullback Pete Layden or S m e
other trusty back, usually shoots
through gaping tackle holes for
good gains.
The Baylor game is a good ex-
ample of Jack Grains play. He
gained AZ yards on punt returns;
* wards on of an iptor.
cepted pass; IS yards on kickoff
returns and 81 yards from scrim-
mage; punted for SO yard average.
Cowboy Jack Grains name was
not in the eight-column banner the
next morning. but he shook 189
yard out of the Baylor team, be-
sides being the big threat.
That's what worries the Texas
Aggies. 4

Here are just few that I can rec

My selections from IS years of
baseball would place two teams on
top in this respect-the White Sox of
1906 and the Boston Braves of 1914.
Neither was anything like a great
ball club. The Sox then were known
as the Hitless Wonders. Their team
batting average was around .223.
They foundered most of the year,
and then under the crabby leader

raving upheaval of Jiggs Donohue at
