Trading was the largest and most varied of any session for the past fortnight and the many substantial gains were held, despite occasional selling for profits. The advance began soon after the opening and made steady upward pro- gress with the assistance of pools which operated extensively in a number of issues, including minor war shares. . Sentiment was further encouraged by advices from Washingicn which stated 1n substance that the proposed excess profits tax would not be oner- ous and intimations that the War In- dustries Board soon would take fa- vorable price action on various com- modities.

Boston.Fans Are Quittirflg Braves Although the Giants are- unusually attractive just now they played to small crowds at Braves, Field in the| recent series of three, games. They opened to a corporal’s/guard. The.at- tendance at the second game was about 3,000, while for the third'game the big ball park was practically empty. Stallings gave up Tyler, Barnes and Doyle to put over the .deal for Herzog, but the Giants’ former cap- tain isn’t a magnet in the Hub. The Braves are probably out of the race and Boston fans will not accept the alibis that 'are being published from day to day. Meanwhile the Cubs headed by Fred Mitchell, who as Boston’s real miracle man in 1914, are out in front. Brooklyn Wins in Sixteenth.

STRIPLIN, THE FAIRMAKER By W. H. Gocher. Corinth was R. M. Striplin's start- ing point in fair work. His first billet was with the Alcorn County Fair, in northern Mississippi. After being re- sponsible for a couple of them he saw, while racing his pacer Jerry L. at other towns, that if he remained in the fair business and put on an ex- hibition worth while, it would-be nec- essary to locate in a larger .town, where the grounds had modern equip- ment. After looking over the field he selected Meridian, and soon con- vinced the public spirited citizens that an agricultural and industrial fair would do the farming interests of Mis- issippi and Alabama a world of good, but also by showing the people all of the labor saving devices cohnected with work on the farm. The Meridian fair, or as it was named the Mississippi and Alabama Exposition, was a success from the start while hundreds of its patronms, who had been plodding along year af- ter year with ‘“before the. war” meth. ods, went home convinced that the time had come for them to.adopt modern equipment on the plantation or farm patch. They also saw that their work bank balances would be benefited, by improving the number and quality of their cattle and hogs, and at the same time display the flut- tering tassels of corn in the cotton country. At this period the- Hon. James Wilson, who was for twenty years Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, was pushing the corn club idea in the south. Striplin, taking ad- vantage of this propoganda, made it a point to emphasise the fact that the time had come for the southern farmer to grow something that he could eat as well as wear, and at the same time have something that he could sell for cash at any time even if three was a bad crop of cotton or a glut in the market. Striplin continued his work .at Meri- dian until 1914, when the live wires back of the spirit of Atlanta decided that the gate city of the south should have a fair that was up to the stand- ard of the mew south described by fTenry Grady. Everyone dropped into I\ with the movement from the ool boys to gray haired men, who saw the city grow from the village of Marthaville which Ivy founded in 1836, and also raise from the ashes left by Sherman to remind the south of the desolation and destruction of war. Selecting grounds which are now a portion of the park system of — Atlanta, except when being used for fair purposes ,they made plans tor an exposition which when completed will rival any on this continent, while | Chicago this week to report at a ground ! the mammoth stucco exhibition bui.d- |school in the South. ings, each:with a touch of Spanish |- architecture, blend harmoniously with their woodland surroundings. At the same time they also made plans for a jmile race track around the edge of an abandoned reservoir in which there is at all times sufficient water for beating and other acquatic features. R. M. Striplin Was selected to super- vise this work and at the same time plan a fair in keeping with the sur- roundings. Opening in 1915 with a cotton and stock show he followed it | in 1816 with a fair that was complete in every department. When the gates were thrown open in the middie of October the - stockmen of Georgia, [ South Carolina and Alabama had am .| opportunity to see practically all of the Hereford and Shorthorn show herds in the middle west.as well as every variety of sheep, hogs and poul- try. They also had ample time to compare the exhibits with what they had-been purchasing and producing. This is the true mission of the fair. It teaches by exdmple. The average man- who stands by the show ring and sees the ribbons awarded or ex amines the stock in the buildings does not as a rule compare them with those they have defeated what he or his neighbors have at home. The comparison if unfavcrable to his own stock and it usually is creates a dispesition to improve. This feeling of unrest has been spreading over Georgia and adjoining states for several years. The stockmen favored by nature took up swine breeding to such an extent that Georgia is now the rival of Iowa in the production of pork and its by-products, while the cattlemen are also beginning to -come | into their own in the production of beef. This change can be traced to the fairs, at which the stockmen had an opportunity to see the standard fixed for each breed and also learn where they could purchase foundation stock.

The bounty on bears has been re- pealed in Vermont, but a bounty of $5 has been placed on them in Maine. In all this land there are still two States, Louisiana and North Carolina. which permit the hunting of game for market. In all this land there is no State which has enough game left to feed it to epicures who are too lazy to go out and get it themselves. In "all this land there is no real sportsman who would allow market hunting in his native State without a it, North Carolina and to the occasion. Or have you merely gunners, who dwell in darkness—who don’t know and don’t care? There is a new temper in these times. American sportsmanship de- mands a yes, or no—and action. WAR NEWS DIGEST Stories of Activities and Conditions Throughout the United States and on the Battle Fronts’ Photographs of Navy rieroes Wanted. The Navy Department is collecting photographs of enlisted men who lose their lives in the war that their mem- ory may be perpetuated. Secretary Daniels asks relatives or others hav- ing such, photographs to lend them to the Navy that copies may be made for the Navy’s records. Originals will be returned to the owners as fast as copies can be made. A photograph of each man is to be forwarded by the Navy Department to the training station where he began his career in the service. At each of such stations a memorial gallery of honor or a hero’s corner is to be estab- lished so that for all time the face of the man of the Navy who has made the supreme sacrifice may be honored by the youth of the future sent to the station for training. All pictures, loaned or contributed, should be securely wrapped for mail- ing after they have been marked with the name, branch of service, and train- ing station the yvoung man entered after enlistment. -They should be ad- dressed to the Recruiting Division, Bureau of Navigation, Navy Depar ment, Washington, D. C. Care will be taken to return safely the photo- graph to the sender, when desired, together with one of the copies made of it. . Size of Army Camps and Cantonments Increased. ,000,000 have been ex- the past six months under the direction of the Construction Division of the Army in making addi- tions and improvements to camps and cantohments. This sum does not in- clude the cost of additions to the hos- pital equipments or the improvements made at other Army stations. The improvement work consisted of additional buildings for housing the men and providing for their comforts and needs. Among buildings erected were quarters for officers and nurses, repair shops, additional barracks. cof- fee-roasting plants, Kitchens, and bakeries, and theaters. New roads laid ang sanitation works improved and extended. Many additional buildings are con- templated, and general construction work will be rushed to completion dur- ing the summer and fall. In some in- stances the camp work has been ex- tended to drdinage of an entire dis- trict surrounding the camp to remove danger of disease arising from the proximity of swamps. 3 Liberty theaters have been erected at all nationai Army cantonments. Each of these theaters has an average inclosed seating capacity ~of 2000. Theaters and amusement halis have been erected also in the National Guard camps and at other points where troops are in training. Navy Enforces Direct Purchase Policy. Manufacturers and dealers are en- couraged under the poiicy of the Navy Department to deal direct with the de- partment. nate the middlemen in purchases of supplies and materials. - “In my annual report.” says Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan, “manu- fecturers were warned against profit- eering agents, professional con- tractors, and naval brokers. In our regular mailing circular of January 8, 1918, we expressed the hope that manufacturers who have not availed themselves of the opportunity to bid direct will do so, as it will prove of advantage to them in bringing them in more intimate touch with the Nayy and thereby make a reputation for the materials which they manufacture. “The fact is the responsibility of contractors was never so thoroughly investigated and they were never held to a stricter ‘accountability than they have been since this country en- The purpose is to elimi-’ tered the war. The number of re- sponsibile direct bidders has in- creased greatly and the number of agents and intermediaries has been reduced to a minimum. The safe- 'sin, $598,000,000; guards against profiteering have been strengthened, not relaxed.” There are over 40,000 names on the bidders' list of the Navy Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, representing every section of the country. These manufacturers and dealers = furnish over 60,000 classes of articles used in the Navy. Better Ship Loading Helps Our Allies. Economies of approximately 20 per cent. in shipping weight and per cent. in shipping space have resulted from improved methods of packing merchandise for overseas practiced by the Army Quartermaster Corp: This is equivalent to about 2,500 ton: of space per month. For the shipment of clothing and equipage, including such items as blankets, barrack bags, towels, shelter tent halves, bedding, and other dry goods, in addition to wearing apparel, baling has been substituted for bo: ing, and the weight of the lumber has been saved. The bales average 30 by 15 by 15 inches and weigh 90 pounds. They are bound with got less than four cold rolled unannealed steel bands. Burlap over waterproofed heavy paper is used to cover the bales, and there are two ‘“ears” on either ends of the bale for handling. Women are stevedores on the docks in France. There is a law they shall not be required to carry packages weighing more than 70 pounds. Pack- ages shipped to the American Expedi- tionary For are standarized so they shall not weigh more than 70 pounds for handling by one woman carrier or more than 140 pounds by two wo en carriers. Men handle the heavier packages and the hoxes that must be used instead of bales. The Quartermaster Corps recom- mends to manufacturers supplying the Army many similar economies in packing and shipping which will re- sult in even more pronounced space and weight saving. Round cans and containers entail a waste in space of 23 per cent. Square containers are urged. Tt is estimated that every inch saved through 'bale compression lis worth 65 cents in ship space. Information Service Bureau Expands Rapidly. The Service Bureau of the Com- mittee on {Public Informaion has taken over various departmental inde- pendent information’ bureaus at Union Station, Washington, will con- solidate and reorganize them and be prepared to give all visftors accurate information on Government business and the names and location of those clothed with authority to speak and act for the Govenrment. Since the service bureau opened offices May 1 it has built up a card- index tem with 50,000 entries, many of the cards being subject to daily: revision and correction. Tn a recent week the bureau handled 1630 visitors seeking special information and ans- wered an average of 150 query let- ters_dai Newspapers Must Economize on Print Paper. Because of an acute shortage in the supply of ‘paper the War -Industries Board announced, effective July 15, the following preliminary economies to be enforced by newspapers publishing a daily and weekly edition: Discontinue the acceptance of the return of unsold copies. Discontinue the use of all samples or free promotion copies. Discontinue giving copieg to any- body, excent for office-worKing copies or where required by statute law in the case of official advertising. Discontinue giving free copies advertisers, except not more thanol copy each for thecking purposes.' Discontinue the arbitrary forcing ! copies on news dealers (i. e., compel ing them to buy more copies tha: they can legitimately sell in order to : hold certain territory.) Discontinue the buying ~ back of papers at either wholesale or retail ,seling price from dealers or agents in order to secure preferential repre= seatation. Discontinue the payment of salaries of commissions to agents, dealers, or newsboys for the purpose of securing the equivalent of return privileges. Discontinue all ‘free exchanges.

A total of 11574 boys were enrolled in regular clubs in 14 States. = Student Nurses Enter Camp Schools: Three hundred applicants for stu- dent nurses to enter training schogls in the base hospitals at cantonments were accepted receatly. There have been more than a thousand applicants for entrance to these Army schools of nursing since the Government sent out its call for student nurses. The majority of those offering their services have been college women, or women with a complete hizh-school edupauon. The training units will be assigned, it is expected, during the present month Each unit will num- ber or 30 student nurses and will be supervised by an accredited and competent nursing instructor and by a trained woman, who will he respon- sible for the physical welfare and rec- reation.. tment of Agriculture special- ing for increased production and eggs, make these sug- Ke better Noultry;. se- hatch cull the flocks 'y feed as possi- ly the family table; eatmore and eggs and conserve the preserve eg: v as much poul upy sion on women's war work of the Commitfee in Public Informa- tion annoilinces that the trustees of Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, N.

Crack Navy Gunner Stops Sub- marine. The fourth hot from a gun manned by a Navy armed guard on an American merchant ship struck the conning tower of a German sub-, marine, which attacked the ship May' 12 1 at 1,000 vards distance. The submarine was compelled to submerge after having launched four torpe- does, two of which missed the steam-; er's bow by about 12 feet. Chief Gunner's Mate Harry R. Chamberss commanding the armed guard, was commended by Secretary Daniels for efficient conduct. The Medical Department, United' States Army, needs women as recon- struction aids. The work of recon- struction aids is divided into two sec-. tions, (1) those women who are welll trained in massage and the other forms of physiotherapy, and (2) those who are trained in simple handcrafts.” Foreign service pay is $60, home serv- ce pay $50 per month and quarters allowances.
