"The future junior and major
league will be of higher caliber
than those of the present or
past, judging by the excellent
pitching, batting and fielding of
the Fairgrounds teams" Dubay
said today. Although all players
this year are slightly younger
than those of pre-war teams,
their caliber is of the highest,
he commented.

Federal Court charging four
men with illegal sale or transfer

Russians Acclaim
Allied Power In West
Call for About Drive
On Paris 70 End War

MOSCOW, Oct. 10-(PD-The
Russian press today acclaimed
the brilliant Allied successes on
the French, front with a call for
IN all-out drive on Paris.
/, The government newspaper
Ixvestia, in its international re-
view, said that the big Allied
breakthroughs have demon
strated once more that in the
west Hitler did not possess the
forces which could seriously
prevent an offensive on Paris"
1T is extremely important to
chase the German invaders
from the west and deprive them

Allies can do it, which has been
proved by the course of opera

his home where he had cached
enough coupons for 384,925 gal

out more than 100000 gal
Ions in coupons.
In his statement Cline said
he had been selling coupons to
Ross and Stafford, some at two
cents a gallon, others at one per
cent a gallon.
Bolder, identified by the

other arrests would be made.

 Directors of the blood donor pro gram would much prefer to see vol- unteers coming in at a steady clip. but they have a theory to explain the ups and downs. Many people are naturally afraid at the thought of a needle piercing their bloodstream It takes a tremendous emotional shock to get them into the ranks of the blood donors
 Consequently Dr. Robinson and his associaes go around with their fingers crossed for several days whenever some responsible Allied leader begins talking about possible victory this summer. They know the thought of victory later in the sum mer will cut down on the amount of blood they need today. and to- morrow.
