General Pershing has been decorat

The American troops combine the
craftiness of the Indian, the stub

and enthusiasm of the French. Can
anything beat such a combination?

- The American troops have certain

Huns, something that has not been
done before. They sure do dread
having to face an army of American
troops.

Wednesday's report says that "the

ITALY LIKES BASEBALL
Most Recent' Victim of National
Pastime Germ.
Football Popularias Well as Diamond
Sport Favored by Military
Leaders. -
New York. One of the curious ef
fects of the war Is "the International
interest which, has been aroused in
American sports. Italy apparently Is
the most recent victim of the baseball
germ, according to Dr. Felice Ferrero,
director of the Italian bureau of in
formation in this city.
Football, as played -In America, as
well as the national game of this coun
try, also has taken hold of the popular
interest in Italy. The Gazetta dello
Sport, one of the most influential sport
journals of that country, is raising a
fund for the purchase of baseballs,
bats and footballs and the distribu
tion of prizes among the soldiers to
stimulate competition.
General Pennella, commander of the
Second Italian army, in a letter to the
Gazetta dello Sport, says that football
and baseball games are of inestimable
vnlnp in the training far war. He
praises ,the Initiative of the Gazetta
dello Sport and says that he firmly be
lieves that the stimulation of baseball
and football competition among the
various units of the Italian army will
have the most gratifying and impor
tant results in maintaining the morale
of the troops. General Pennella is es
peclally pleased with baseball as an
aid to training and the maintenance of
the morale of the troops.
THEY LOOK THE PART
It seems peculiarly appropriate that
these German soldiers should look-like
the swine they imitate in their meth
ods of warfare, though perhaps the
porkery will object to the comparison
The type of gas mask used by the ene
my gives them this repulsive swinish
appearance that is topped off by the
spiked German helmet.
HE GOT THE RING FIRST
Young Man Prepared for Wedding and
Did Not Worry About the
Girl.
Cleveland, O. Here's a young man
who believes in the efficacy of pre
paredness.
vWith his young wife he appeared
recently before Frank M. Kenney,
chief clerk of local board No. 7 at
Central armory.
"When did you, buy the ring?" Mr.
Kenney asked.
There was some discrepancy be
tween the answers of the bride and
the bridegroom and the clerk pressed
for an explanation.
"Well, I'll tell you the truth," the
man replied. "Some years ago I bought
a watch on the installment plan and
when it was paid for I thought the
idea was a pretty good one. I figured
to myself that some day I might want
to get married, and thought it wouldn't
be a bad idea to get the ring on the
same plan."
"You mean you got the ring and
kept it in your pocket until the right
girl happened along?" Mr. Kenney in
quired. "That's just It, mister," the youth res
pited, unabashed. "This is the right
girl, and we's just got married."

Successful Experiments Convince Of'

mulas to Be Printed.
Raleigh. No actual hardships is go
ing to result in North Carolina from
the acute shortage of sugar which ex- i
ists at this time and there is no rea
son at all why the quantities of fruits
that are ctnned and preserved should
be lessened in any degree. This is
tht frankly expressed opinion of State
Food Administrator Henry A. Page,
Conservation Chairman John Piul
Lucas and Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon,
Director of Home Economies for fh
rFood Administration and Head of
Home Demonstration activities in
North Carolina.
Experiments Encourage.
Food Administration officials have
been greatly concerned over the sugar
shortage, and still are for that matter,'
but they have been greatly encourag
ed and relieved during the past few
days by the marked success of experi
ments that have been conducted by
Mrs. McKimmon and her wide-awake
assistants in the use of cane syrup,
sorghum, corn syrup, 'corn sugar and
other procurable sugar substitutes.
Mrs. McKimmon and her forces are
woYking over time on these tests and
are preparing tried and proven for
mulas and recipes which, with aceom
panying suggestions, will be printed
py me 'ooa Administration in the
form of a bulletin or leaflet in the im
mediate future for distribution
throughout North Carolina. The for
mulas being nrenared bv M
mon will be verly largely used in other
oiaies aiso, Washington authorities
oemg keenly interested in them and
recognizing the splendid ability of
Mrs. McKimmon's organization in this
i j
iint oi work.

it is a recognized fact that sugar

saved just as easily without the add!

Kimmon. In fact a large number of
housewives have always canned with-
