farm TRACTOR
OUTPUT SETS
new RECORDS

10000 tractors, for use principally
on farms, were produced in December
1913, as compared with production
of 4,20G in December of the preceding
year, according to an announcement
-of F. Peavey Heffelfinger, northwest
war production director.
The December production was the
largest for any month in two years,
Mr.. Heffelfinger said, and represents
the peak of a steady increase in pro-
duction of farm tractors which started
at the beginning of 1913. In the first
quarter, $4,000 wheeled tractors were
built-in the second, 1S,OOO-in the
third quarter, $4,000 and in the
fourth quarter, $4,000 were produced.
Mr.. Heffelfinger pointed out, however,
that the current rate of production
must be absolutely maintained in or
der to meet the tractor quota for the
IL months which will end June 80
1914, and which has been set at 209,-
0O0
Meeting this increased goal in pro-
duction of tractors will not be easy,
according to Mr.. Heffelfinger, as
many of the components needed for
production are also used in
landing craft, which are now in urgent
demand by the armed services and
if conflict were to
arise, the armed services would have
first call on parts.
Every effort is being made by WPB
to provide equipment for both landing
craft and tractor programs, Mr.. Hef-
felfinger concluded, and with full CO.
operation between industry and the
government, it is believed that the
nations requirements can be met.

FILIPINO GUERRILLA
RESISTANCE CONTINUES

Guerrilla resistance in the Japanese
occupied Philippines is still continu-

The broadcast said that an offer
of amnesty to the armed patriots by

SOCIAL SECURITY
FOR FARM ERS

Social insurance for farm opera
tors, farm workers, business and pro-
fessional men, household workers, and
employees of governmental and non
profit organizations was recommended
by the Social Security Board in it's
eighth annual report. The board
urged inclusion of these groups in an
expanded social security program
which would include insurance against
costs of medical and hospital care
without disturbing the present prin-
ciple of free choice in selection of
physicians or hospitals. The board
recommended that comprehensive
social insurance system should be set
up now while earnings are Eat record

Whether or not the nazis contrived

ASKS FARMERS, HELP IN WOODS

To mobilize farmers on farm wood
lands and for work in forest indus
tries, the War Production Board, War
Food Administration, and War Man
power Commission have combined
forces. Farmers and farm workers
are asked to devote their spare time,
particularly during the slack winter
spring period, to work in the woods
and wood industries. Production of
IA million cords of domestic pulpwood
will be necessary in 1914 to supply
the needs of our armed forces over
seas and meet essential home front
war requirements, according to
WPB's paper division. Farmers have
nearly 139 million acres of farm woods
which annually produce about one
third of all forest products and 3S
per cent of the country's pulpwood.

PRESIDENT GIVES
BALL HIS CRACES

WASHINGTON, April IS. -(R-
Baseball, about to start on its
third wartime season despite loss
of players to the armed services
and other difficulties, got an Off
cial nod of approval from the White
House today.
President Roosevelt, fan him.
self, is down South getting some
rest and sunshine but his secre-
tary, Stephen Early, spoke for him
Il know the President is pleas
ed to see baseball continuing
Early told Clark Griffith, president
of the Washington ball club. "Ev-
erybody knows my feelings in sup
port of sports
Griffith received o. K. for the
new season when he called at Far
ly's office to leave annual Ameri-
can League passes for the Presid-
ent and Mrs. Roosevelt-a little
chore he does each year at this
time.
In peacetime, it also was an oc.
casion to ask that the President
throw out the first ball in opening
the season.
Mr.. Roosevelt has had to decline
since the war, however, and Vice
President Wallace has taken over
that ceremonial task. Wallace will
be on hand when the Washington
Senators and the Philadelphia Ath-
letics open the season here Tues
day.
Griffith said he was nightly
pleased to hear of the President
attitude.
Baseball is necessary to the war
effort Griffith said. "All the boys
overseas say they want to hear our
scores"
In recognition of the servicemen's
desire for scores, the government
has arranged this year to broad
cast to men overseas play-by-play
accounts of five games a week.
The opening ceremonies here
Tuesday and as much of the game
itself as can be covered in the first
hour will be short-Waved to men
overseas.
Early's expression in behalf OF
the President was in line with what
Mr.. Roosevelt said directly when
the question of wartime baseball
was raised in 1912, the first season
after Pearl Harbor.
In a letter to Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands, basebalrs high COM
missioner, Mr.. Roosevelt said he
thought the sport ought to go on
but that players meeting necessary
military and naval qualifications
should 20 into the services.
Baseball has gone ahead on that
basis.

CAPE FEAR LOOP
PLAY SUSPENDED

The directors and executive com
mittee of the Cape Fear League,
headed by President J. E. l.
Wade, have decided that the Cape
Fear League will have to suspend
play for the 1914 season. The rea
son mainly for this action is the
shortage of players at this time
Every angle was exhausted before
the board took this action but due
to the increased tempo at Camp
Davis and the fact that Major
Johnson will be unable to have
his team on regular playing
schedule t h i S would eliminate
Camp Davis from competition in
the league, and it was deemed I'm.
likely that the Ship Yard would
be able to enter a regular club
in the league. The situation in the
city is even worse, as most all
the boys who formerly made ur
city teams are in the armed forces.
It is expected however that a few
independent clubs will play occa.
sionally where a definite schedule
is not required.
The Cape Fear League was or.
gained several years ago by Skeet
James. Alton Lennon was the first
president, and it has been headed
by the late Father Manly who was
serving at the time of his death,
and Jimmy Wade who has served
as president for the last three
years. The league has played be-
fore several hundred thousands of
fans and was the first organiza-
ton to ever play on a regular
Sunday and weekly schedule COM
hined in Wilmington. The directors
hope to resume play next year if
conditions improve.

Sarazen, Ear; Fox

In a Red Cross benefit per

noon at the Cape Fear Country
Club yesterday. The minister's ap-

their tour starting On March 20
in Miami. The exhibition, which
netted $115.76 for the Red Cross,
was number twenty on their tour,
which ends today at Fort Bragg.
Commenting on their itinerary of
Army posts and hospitals, the ami
able Sarazen said, This trip has
certainly been an eye-opener to
ME. 1 had no idea how hungry the
boys in the camps are for athletics
or how badly in need of sports
equipment they are. At one hos
pital we found soldier golf fan
practicing shots with one arm in
cast. This boy told us that the
hospital had only two golf balls,
and that if it could get only two
more it would be possible for them
to form a team. This incident,
along with many others, made me
realize what need these men
have of equipment"
Sarazen, Ear, Miss Fox and
Miss Byrne opened the afternoons
action with nine-hold exhibition.

OVERSEAS FORCES
CRAVE BASEBALL
BY FORD C. FRICK
President National League

written Expressly for the AS
ISOLATED Press
NEW YORK, April 15-R-Pre-
season baseball predictions, even
in normal times, border somewhat
on the nonsensical. In wartlmes
that is doubly true. For no one
can say what the future OF base,
ball will be. The start of this thlro
wartime season finds the PROP
lens of the first two years ac-
centuated. But those problems are
not insurmountable.
We played through the first two
seasons despite handicaps. l be-
lieve we can do it again.
Like all other industries We nave
lost key men. Today there are
more National League ball play
ers in the armed services tnan
there are on the club rosters. But
the gaps have been filled with re-
placements of 4-F's, men who
have been discharged from the
military services, men over 80
years of age and, in a few in
stances, boys who have not yet
reached draft age.
The caliber of play will be low
er than in normal times. But
think it still will be fairly high
and the competition keen.
To me baseball this year is not
only for the home folks but for
the absentees, too. Not only are
players gone but there are alb
sentees from the stands and
bleachers. Much more important
than our visible audience will be
the thousands of men far from
home, in camps and on the fight
ing fronts, in jungles and on the
seas-eager to find out the score,
to know who pitched, how the win
ming run was scored and all the
details of play; details that bring
them a touch of America as they
knew it before war entered their
lives.
That's why the Army and Navy
have arranged to broadcast big
league games via short wave to
every fighting front, every day.
Baseball can do many things in
the war effort. Baseball can be
valuable ON the home front. But
most important of all, it seems
to me, will be that invisible audi
ence across the world. That's an
assignment that baseball cannot
nuff. 1t has to be met.
