"In so far as Mr. Johnson leaving
baseball is concerned. I. for one, do
not believe that baseball could spare

WOMEN CAN CHECK
RUSH FROM FARMS
Head of EmergcneyFood Gar
den Commission .Tolls
of War Work
Chicago, Oct. 15.—The alarming
rush of the population from the farm
to the cities must be checked and
it is up to the women to help in
this as a war time measure, Charles
Latlirop Pack, president of the Nat
ional Emergency Food Garden Com
mission of Washington, told the
members of the Woman's National
Farm and Garden Association in ses
sion here. And the men must be
lead back to the farms by the wo
men , lor they will not go with out
>ou, said the man whose "Food
r. O. 15. The Kitchen Door" cam
paign resulted in three million #ar
gardens being planted this summer.
Mr. Pack gave some startling
figures which show that only 24 per
cent of the population is now en
gaged in farming whereas 88 per
cent was farming in 1800. In other
words every farmer must feed him
seii and 75 others under present con
ditions. This trend to the cities' has
forced prices up and the call of war
has only added to the boost, Mr.
Pack said:
Saving As Never Before.
1 I take issue", continued Mr. Pack
with any one who says there is
I ureat waste in the American home.
You cannot make me believe the Ant
erican housewife, who supervises
her buying and kitchen work is a
waster, With bacon at 55 cents and
butter at 54, the American woman,
who is the greatest factor in winning
this world war is saving as never be
fore.
"There are great plans afoot for
a campaign of education this winter.
1 ou ladies have a great work before
>ou as you have always had since
the world began. You have arisen
to every emergency and you will
meet this one. You have planted
war gardens this year to the aston
ishment of tlje figures experts, and
you have canned and dried that pro
duct in record-breaking- amounts.
The estimates of the National Emer
gency Food Garden Commission
that 460 million cans are be
ing put on the pantry shelf this fall.
"More and more the women of the
country are realizing the jovs of
farm life and the return it brings.
There are women managers of big
farms who are making them pay.
There are women all over the count
ry who are in the garden produce
business on a big scale. More of
you must be turned toward the farm
where out of door living means
wholesome living. There is a great
future there and also the salvation
of the country.
Rush Must Be Checked.
The rush to our cities must be
checked. In 1800 there was 88 per
the Population on the farms.
In 1915 only 24 per cent of the pop
ulation was occupied in farming. In
other words now every farmer must
teed himself and 75 other persons.
Those figures are overwhelming and
the call of the war has taken thou
sands more to our cities and into the
Armv. Here you women must play
your part and lead the men folks
back to the land, for the men folks
will not go without you.
"Secretary Baker "points to two
million men under arms. The esti
mated daily cost of feeding a soldier
has been placed at forty cents. That
means Uncle Sam's board bill for
•'<?£? A ,one ls t * le staggering sum
of SBOO,OOO a day. That figure does
not include the thousands who have
gone into war work of one kind or
another. In Washington alone there
are 25,000 new government clerks
and many departments are being
moved to New York to find office
room.
"These people must be fed. The
soldier in the trench must be fed.
The world must be fed. Ambassador
Gerard tells us every inch of ground
In German control is under intensive
cultivation and that Germany has
ev ?ry prisoner tilling the ground.
"The people of this country must
awaken to the fact that we are at
war and that this is not the annual
maneuvers. You are beginning to
get an idea of what this means when
in tears you sent your boys away
the training camps. You women
have gladly given your sons that the
world may be safe for Democracy,
to rescue and save civilization: Now
that you have given them are you
going to let them starve?"
The season opens Saturday and
this squad will be in the field early
and at the close of the season the
'cross river.sportsmen generally have
a large amount of game their ef
j forts.

VETERAN TEAM
CENTRAL'S FOE;
IMPORTANT GAME
When Central meets Steelton High,
on Saturday on the Cottage Hill
gridiron one of the best football
fights in years is expected by follow
ers of the game. A record crowd is
anticipated and hundreds of the Cen
tral student body will turn out in
force to see the contest.
Central with a good team which
is rapidy being: developed Into a fast
machine is out for revenge. Steelton
with an almost unbeatable eleven it
is after a big record this year. The
result of the scrap will mean much
to the lopal schools, as it is the first
game of the triangular champion
ship fight.
Last year on the Island Park field
Central played Steelton to a scoreless
tie. A few weeks later at Steelton
the Harrisburg bunch lost 30 to 0,
the worst defeat handed out by a
Steelton eleven to a Central team in
more than eight years.
Veteran Steelton Team
Steelton has big odds on the Blue'
and Gray erew in the way of experi
enced men. The entire eleven is a
veteran one, and practfcally every
player played in the lineup at var
ious times last year. The backfield is
a seasoned machine. Coleman, at
quarter, is a fast, light open field
runner. Krout can always be depend
ed on for off tackle and line plung
ing work. Dayhoff is a star all-around
player and from present indications
will prove to be the best man in foot
ball togs this year. Paul Wueschin
ski, at fullback, while not a star on
offense, is a fast defensive player and
also good for interference. The line
men show up equally well. Donatella,
who was hurt last Saturday, may not

Overcontldence is the one thing
which Steelton must fight against.
Central also has a fast aggrega

are good backfield men and with last
year's defeat to retrieve, are expect
ed to put up a good fight.
For many years the Blue and Gray
and the Blue and White rivalry has
been keen. Football followers who
have seen the games for years, de
clare the best fights are between the
Central and Steelton squads. Fast,
clean football, seldom marred by
petty squabbles between players and
students, place these contests in the

Chicago, Oct. 18. Following a

ceived their "share of cash.
They will be called upon to give
up some of their earnings because
of the war tax on excess profits. All
sums over $6,000 are subject to an
eight per cent. tax. This tax. of
courgo, figures on top of the regular
income taxes which begin at SI,OOO
for each of the single boys and $2,000
for the married ones.
The Treasury Department, which
umpires the payment of taxes, was
asked whether the world's series
purses should be deducted from the
amounts taxable as gifts, which are
•Jn . lc ! e under the law. but the
officials couldn't see it that way, ex
plaining that the ball players work
ed for the money and that therefore
it was income.

Fourteen-Year-Old Girl

Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 18.—Thelma
Darby, the 11-year-old Indianapolis
swimmer, defeated Claire Galligan, of
New York, in a 500-yard match race,
free style, In a local tank Tuesday
ni&ht. The time was 7 minutes and
31 seconds,) two-fifths of a second
faster than the American record for
the distance, which was made by Miss
Galligan at San Francisco recently.
The record, while it will not stand
as an American record, will be recog

to the officials of the .meet.

"Shine Ball" Is Myth;
Foo|ed Giant Players
Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 18. The secret
of laddie Cicotte's "shine" ball is that
there isn't and never has been such a
thing:. It was a myth devised for its
psychological effect.
This admission was made by Cicotte
yesterday while passing through here
with other members of the new
world's champion Chicago Americans.
"Hap Felsch and I framed it on the
training trip," said Cicotte. "The idea
was to rub the ball in a peculiar way
to make the batsman think I was
doing something to it. I wasn't
really, but others thought 1 was.
Felsch started the talk going in St.
Louis—got Fielder Jones worked up
about it, and the first thing we knew
the 'shine' ball was an established
fact in most minds."

WELLY'S CORNER
One thing baseball fans are trying
to have explained. Following post
series there have been stories ga
lore about things that happened and
were factors in tho big games.
Mtiggsy McGraw thus far has said
a few words. Manager Rowland is
doing little crowing.
This season's triangle football
series is sure to furnish many thrills
before the finish. Steelton is looked
upon as a stronger contender then
at anytime since these matches
started. A defeat for Steelton would
mean that Central must be locked
after. Tech will get a chance one
week later.. On thing is certain.
Central, Tech and Steelton are in
the game for honors and the'honors
will only come after the last battle
is over.
