Popularity Of Volley Ball Among Sol

What are the favorite games with
the soldiers in training camps in the
southeastern division? The immediate
response would naturally be baseball.
However, this is not correct, according
! to the latest statistical report com
piled by R. C. Cubbon, Army Y. M. C.
A. physical director for the southeast
ern division, aided by the the 126 phys
ical directors in the camps. Their fig
ures of the number of games played
and the number of men participating
show that, volley ball is the most pop
ular of all sports.
There was a time when baseball was
the most popular sport in the camps,
and in the month of March it was
three times as popular as any other
game, but in tbe following month the
newly introduced game of volley ball
was taken by the soldiers with the
greatest of enthusiasm and the report
of the physical directors in the camps
of the southeastern department shpw
that, commencing with the month of
April, volley ball has easily held first plies, to last us in case we should have

FOOD FACTS
SUGAR FOR CANNING
AND PRESERVING
Sugar may be obtained for canning
and preserving purposes in Georgia in
25 pounds at a purchase, under a cer
tificate plan.
in response to numerous requests
Dr. Andrew 11. Soule, federal food ad
-ministrator, has ordered into effect at
once the following plan:
, Ga., , 1918
“Desiring to purchase sugar for im
mediate canning and preserving pur
poses, 1 hereby pledge myself to use
such sugar exclusively for such pur
poses and under no circumstances to
sell or loan the same. Permission is

the soldiers.
This is very easily understood when
It is explained that volley bail can be
played in a very small space about
the size of a teBnis court. The sol
diers with little practice can become
quite expert in the game. Another fea
ture is that all of the players on both
sides are playing the entire time, (no
bench warming i and the games do not
last nearly so long as baseball, in fac t
not much longer than the average
baseball inning. The only equipment
needed for this game is one ball and
one net.
Playground baseball is another game
that is making a great hit with the
soldiers and now ranks fourth in pop
ularity. This game also can be play
ed in a small space, the distances be
tween bases being only thirty feet
In this game a large, soft bail is used
and the pitcher is required to use the
underhand throw. All the skill of the
parent game of baseball is required
for playground ball and the playing
has all the thrills and tense moments
that is to be had in the national past-
time.
As an entertainer boxing is very
much in the limelight in the camps
and like baseball has. an immense fol
lowing of devotees. Providing games
of entertainment is of no small import
ance in tbe camps as it is shown in the
physical director’s report that 905,376
spectators were in attendance at 143,-
348 games in which 662,066 soldiers
participated in Y. M. C. A. games.

be sure they were working weii, and
then settled down—or tried to—in the
dungeon. We expected to have to stay
all night, but in an hour a sentry call
ed, 'All out,’ and up we gladly went.
Tbe rest of tbe evening we spent up
stairs in one of the reasonably whole
rooms, with piano and songs and sto
ries and the ever-present and wonder
ful canteen, at which I took my turn.
"Needless to say. 1 slept none that
night, with all the bang and noise out

at the officers' mess Clarke and I
started off for tbe trenches, each of

canteen supplies besides our helmet,

They gave us a warm welcome, and
we conducted our communications in

DANGER OF FAMINE
(From Farm Life.)
Maybe you’ve seen that expression
before. It is taken from a statement
made not long ago by Lord Rhondda,
the British food controller. It gives
s graphic picture of the food shortage.
In fact, as Lord Rhondda says:
“The food wanted by mankind does
not exist.
"The word ’shortage’ is not strong
enough for the situation
"To put. the matter bluntly. the
whole world is up against a nasty
thing, familiar to the people of India,
called Famine.”
It is a good thing for us to let
that melancholy statement soak into
our consciousness. Then well do
what we can, every one of us, to save
the world from famine.
Some folks say that they are tired
of hearing about "starvation” and
“food shortage.” and similar unpleas
ant things.
They are even tired of having the j
papers urge greater production.
Whi’-n they reflect a little on Lord j
Rhondda's statement, these tired ones
ought to change their attitude. They, !
too, should join the rest of us and be
come boosters for increased food.
EAT THIS BIG CROP
“Eat more potatoes.”
With that slogan the Food Admin
istration has inaugurated a national
campaign to encourage the free mar- i
keting and consumption of potatoes. •
It has enlisted the co-operation of all i
agencies of the potato trade, state
and local authorities, various organi- j
zations, and the press. During the !
next few months the great potato t
crop of Aifieriea will be moved from
producing centers to points of con
sumption as rapidly as the public w ill
consume the delectable "spuds.”
There are two great reasons for do
ing this:
(ll American growers in 1917 pro
duced a great crop which in large part
is unmarketed on the coming of (
spring. Bad weather conditions was
the cause: but if this crop is not con- !
sttmed rapidly and in larger propor- I
tion to other foods than is customary. •
millions of bushels of potatoes wiil
not be sold before the next harvest.
Such a calamity could not fail to dis
courage potato growers who a year
ego responded to the appeal of the
country to be patriotic and increase
food production.
(2) By eating plenty of potatoes,
Americans can lower materially their
consumption of wheat products and
thus comply with the urgent request
of the Food Administration to cut.

products by 50%.

DO YOU KNOW
The United States is the GratetfsxltoAeflj
Country in the World?
Georgia'* Wheatless Week—the big voluntary support
of the Food Administration to quickly export supplies to the
armies in France—has resulted in a saving of “a world of
flour.” Approximately half the people in the state entered
enthusiastically into the movement and actually observed
the ‘‘Wheatless Week.” It “put Georgia over the top” first.
The saving was about 1,250,000 pounds of flour as this
state’s contribution to the food needs of the boys who are
shooting the Germans.
Here’s what Mr. Hoover, United States Food Adminis
trator, wired Dr. Andrew M. Soule, Federal Food Adminis
trator for Georgia, Saturday:
Soule, Food Administrator:
Please express to the people of Georgia my sincere ap
preciation of their patriotic action in the observance of a
Wheatless Week. Such whole-hearted response to our re
quest is most gratifying and justified my confidence that the
American people will voluntarily save sufficient food for our
army and the Allies without rationing or other burdens *
regulations. I congratulate you and your staff—and
State of Georgia—for the patriotism of her people.
