HOGGINS TAKES
JOB AS MANAGER
NEW'YORK YANKS
Succeeds Donovan, Who Has
Held Place for Last Thre
Seasons; Signs Two
Year Contract.
(Br Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 25. President
Jacob Ruppert of the New York
American league team, announced to
day he had signed Miller Hugging,
manager of the St."Loui,8 team, to
manage the Yankees under a two-year
contract.
Huggins will succeed William Don
ovan who has managed the Yankees
tor the last three seasons. Muggins
conferred with Branch Rickey, presi
dent of the St. Louis Nationals, last
week they were unable to reach terms.
He then accepted the oder from the
New oYrk club.
Huggins has spent his entire major
league career in the National league
up to the present. He was purchased
by Cincinnati from St. Paul in 1913
and played there until 1910, when he
was traded to St. Louis. He was ap
pointed mantger of the St. Louis club
in 1912 and retired as an active player
last leason. During his career as
manager, St. Louis finished third
twice, the highest the club had been
since 1876.
Preside Ruppert said Donovan will
not be retained in any capacity, al
though Ruppert paid an eloquent trib
ute to the former manager, saying
his release caused him more grief than
anything which has happened during
his business career.
Huggins said he had no immediate
plans for the club, although he thinks
he has a nucleus of a strong team.
MUCH PROGEESS
ALREADY MADE IN
FOOD CAMPAIGN
, .. , '
(Continued from rag One)
j challenge with joy These were some
of the messages received from county
chairmen:
Gage County "School children are
working like Reavers. We'll make
! Florida climb a tree."
Hamilton County "Five thousand
pledges signed already."
Washington County No time to
Boast; too busy signing cards.
Cass County "Less than 1 per cen
of cards returned unsigned."
Otoe County "Prospects exceed
ingly bright."
Dodge County "Practically ' all
pledge cards signed.
Merrick County "Those Florida
crackers will have to go some.
Prominent Men Present.
State Food Administrator Wattles
presided at the meeting. Among those
seated on the stage were Senator
Hitchcock, Congressmen Sloan and
Loneck and Mayor Dahlman.
"This food cledce movement is
practical test of democracy, of the
power Qt people to govern them
selves." said Mr. Wattles. "In Ger
many, food control was ordered by the
autocratic power from the very be
ginning of the war. The order there
went forth from the too down to the
people. Here the movement is going
trom the bottom up. lhe people are
acting for themselves. We will prove
that we are a capable, self-governing
people.
"We must conserve food in order
to feed our soldiers in the field and
the soldiers of our allies and the fam
ilies of -both at home. If we don't do
this it will result in the breaking down
ot the defense. And the result, if the
western front should be broken by
Germany, if France and England
should be driven to make peace, would
be th,at we would have to fight Ger
many here without the help of any
allies. That is what, is at stake. That
is a practical reason why every
patriot snouid save all the iood pos
i'ole and should substitute corn for
iheat wherever possible.
Must Conserve Grain.
Congressman Sloan referred to the
viieat shortage. This year our Ne-
raska wheat produced and that held
ver from last year would little more
hau teed and seed our state, he said
'We are shart at least 50.000.000 bush
els. 43ut we are, 100,000,000 bushels
longr on corn, oats and barley. Our
corn is at least 50,000.000 bushels
above the average yield. Let us use
(lie grain th gods provided and let
us yield to our allies the grain that
they prefer."
Senator Hitchcock presented a pic
ture of the possibilities of the war if
America fails to do her duty promptly
ind with all he. strength.
"It is a fact," he said, "that the great
najority of people in this country
Jo not yet realize the terrible Strug,
lle in which we are engaged and the
terrible possibilities of it. The ques
tion of food is a most important one.
Tremendous may be the effect for the
good of the country if we refrain from
food waste. .
Act Not Talk.
- "At a time like this we must obey

leadership. It is no time for us to dis
cuss. Russia is an example of what
too much discussion and too little fol
lowing of authorized leadership leads
to. We must do, without question,
that which those in authority have
decided is the best thing to do."
Prof. G. E. Condra declared "he
who eats too much food or who
wastes food now is the next thing to
a traitor."
Many of the county chairmen called
at the state headquarters of the food
pledge campaign committee in The
Bee building after the meeting for
final instructions and advice.
FAST HIGH SCHOOL

Coach Mills' Men Expect to Go
Over the Top in the Clash
With Eleven From East
ern Iowa.
Central High is planning on mak
ing things hot for the Beatrice grid
team today on Creighton field. Al
though Central expects to win, Be
atrice is reported as able to show the
Omaha boys some fast playing. The
lineup will be the same as in previous
games, with the exception that Har
per may play end.
The Lincoln High-Norfolk High
game at Lincoln tomorrow will be
the deciding factor in determining, the
probable winner of the Missouri val
ley championship. Lincoln, Norfolk,
St. Joseph and Central High each ex
pects to win it. Dopesters say Lincoln
will dispose of Norfolk, but are silent
about St. Joseph. Although St. Joe
does not play Omaha until turkey
day, it has already adopted Lincoln s
slogan ot Beat Umaha. v

upon by local enthusiasts as the real
determiner of the championship.
ine game scheduled tor yesterday
between Central reserves and south
High was postponed because of the
rain.
A mass meeting was held at the
school yesterday morning to boost
tne Beatrice game.
Creighton will engage in a spirited
clash Saturday against Coach Dorais'
Bine and Gold squad from Dubuque.
The Blue and White eleven that will
confront the collegians from Iowa
will be an entirely rejuvenated crew,
for the simple reason that they have
once more acquired the pep and fight
to keep the ball in motion and their
opponents on the qui vive. '
The scrappy spirit evidenced aeainst
the strong Drake aKereeation was
what enabled them tr rush
Hobbs' pets off their feet, but when'
tne coyotes irom bouth Dakota
loomed up powerfully last Saturday,
the wearers of the Rlne anH Whi
were unable to hlnrk the
rushes of the Vermilion backs. Mills'
crew lacked the punch to make their
gains count for anything, whereas, if
mere was anything like co-opfration
between the line and the backfield.
Creighton would have put the Dako
tans to rout.
But Captain Morgan and his com
rades have been put through a strenu
ous week, and, having once more been
injected with the spirit of their fa
mous mentors, Tommy Mills and
Warren Howard, they have for the
last two days been confidentially
whispering to each other that the
hopeful warriors from Dubuque little
reck what dire annihilation will be
visited upon their strong young shoul
ders Saturday.
Coyne's Shoulder Mended.
Berry is improving at center and
Jones at right guard is coming into
his own. Little) Healey will occupy
the - other guard position. Coyne's
shoulder has mended sufficiently to
justify his starting the game at right
tackle, while "Stonewall" Morgan will
decorate the correspondine tarkV
"Hump" Emery and "Spec" Campbell
nave permanently qualified for the
two ends.
It is upon these men that Mills
depends for successful opposition to
Coach Dorais' Blue and Gold team.
The Iowans' strength, however, is not
to be underestimated. They have not
been defeated this year and have a
pair of ends d a backfield that are
hard to beat, according o Dorais.
The line, too, is not to be sniffed at.
Dubuque will incade Omahavon Sat
urday with a team that is reported to
be fully the equal of the local eleven.
Followers of the Blue" and Gold are
confident that their warriors in mole
skins will bear away the spoils of
victory, but Creighton enthusiasts are
unanimous in sserting that Dubuque
will be taken into camp with a de
cisive score. Lineup:

Hermit Living
At Omaha Dump
Burned to Death
An unidentified man was burned t?
death yesterday when a home
constructed shanty in which he lived
at Second and H streets, West Coun
cil Bluffs, caught fire.
The man had lived in the vicinity
of the old dump, just east of Carter
lake, for several vears. He was a
foreigner, apparently about 60 or 65
years old. He had no employment,
lived off the dump, and since Jast
March had occupied the little shanty
m wnicn ne was ourned. He had
built the shack of boxes, pasteboards
ana whiows.
The fire was discovered bv Mrs
J. H. Hewlett, who lives near by. The
fire department was summoned, but
by the time it arrived the shanty
was completely burned and the flames
had spread to the willows to the rear.
While firemen were quenching the
flames burning the willows and en
dangering other huts in the neighbor
hood, Mrs. Hewlett, watching the
smoldering ruins of the shanty, saw
what appeared to be the man's body
pinned under a log. A fireman was
called" and the body, almost burned
to a crisp, ws found.
Mrs. Hewlett said the man was a
hermit, who refused all acquaintance
ship. He refused to tell his name,
would not permit anybody to enter his
hovel, and when neighbors offered
him food, scorned it, saying "I
wouldn't eat that stuff."

. What Our Telephone
Is For
Until a very short time ago we maintained at our offices a Trouble
Department, but this has now been done away with. We don't like troubla
any more than you do, and so we have abolished it.
Tfcere may be complaints in the future, but we purpose dealing with
them so promptly and removing their cause so completely that they will
never again be able to magnify into Trouble. Our Service Department
gives this assurance.
In this Service Department there is a telephone and we want our
patrons to accustom themselves to using it.
When a good doctor takes charge of a case, serious or trifling, his
first scientific step is to remove the cause of the ailment It is the same in
this department. We have a "doctor" whose business it is to eliminate
trouble by removing the cause. Upon being informed over the telephone
of your difficulty, our service "doctor" will be dispatched instanter to get
at the germ of that complaint.
If there is anything wrong with your service, no matter from what
cause, we hope you will call Tyler Three One Hundred and ask for the
Service Department. It will do the rest.'
YOUR ELECTRIC SERVICE COMPANY does not evade com
plaints. On the contrary, it welcomes them in order that they may be met
with prompt response and equally prompt remedial results. If you have
a complaint, tell it to us first, for disinterested neighbors cannot help
you, while we have many capable service men who can.
You have no fault to find nor any suggestion too trival for us to seek
most eagerly. It is this perfect frankness and candor that will make our
co-partnership complete.
Our new Service Department Telephone Number is Tyler Three One
Hundredremember it the next time you have a grievance, big or small
for they are all of the same size to us. We are entitled to the chance to
correct our faults if you will only let us know about them. That is what
our telephone is for.
