Soldiers Out Into Man’s Land KING BASE BALL YIELDS TOVOLLEYBALLINCAMP Popularity Of Volley Ball Among Sol diers Surprises All Old Base ball Fans. 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 (dace as the most popular sport with i to be dug out later, overcoats and blue Atlanta,—Reports received by High Richardson, State Director from the National Headquart ers of the War Saving Stamp Committee, place Georgia in the emarrassing position of tail-end- er among all the states, in the sale of Thrif and War Saving Stamps.

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.

"Needless to say. 1 slept none that night, with all the bang and noise out side, but nobody does. I’m told, the first night. Tbe night before I got about two hours of dozing with a stiff neck, sitting up in a crowded night train, but, strange to say, I never felt the lack of it for a minute.

Corns can easily be lifted out with the fingers if you will get from any drug store a quarter of an ounce of a drug called freezone. This is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. You simply apply a few drops directly upon the ten der, aching corn or callus. The soreness is relieved at once and soon the entire corn, or callus, root and all, lifts out without one par ticle of pain. This freezone is a sticky sub stance which dries in a moment. It just shrivels up the corn with- oift inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. Tell your wife about this. heads. "As we entered the front-line trenches, we suddenly ran into Secre tary Raker and accompanying officers. I stepped aside as well as 1 could, sa luted and said, ‘Good morning. Mr. Secretary.’ Ws they passed I heard one of the officers say to the Secre tarv, ‘You see, Mr. Secretary, the "Y” men aa-e right up in the front-line trenches with the boys.’ "Time was flying, and we knew there were still more soldiers further on who would be glad to see us.

They gave us a warm welcome, and we conducted our communications in low whispers, for there were three German snipers in three different di rections only seventy-five feet away. "Needless to say, our gunnysacks were empty when we came out We hurried back to the sign of the Red Triangle In {he village, drank a cup of hot chocolate, and started in again in another direction. "We watched the explosions getting closer and closer, each one preceded by ‘the weirdest kind of a wail and whine through the air. and then dur ing a let-up we rushed across the open and into the dugouts in an embank ment, where our second pack of sup plies disappeared. "Two of the secretaries had been gassed the day before we arrived at this place, and one slightly wounded by shrapnel, while others were break-* ing under the physical strain and need ed relief.

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. the national consumption of wheat products by 50%. oxv\\\\\\\w»: Weak Women In use for over 40 years!
