MUST BUILD UP
FOOD RESERVE,
SAYS WATTLES
t
Promised Big Crops Offer
Opportunity if People Con
tinue Present Conserva
tion Methods.
"We must build up a food reserve
supply which will meet all require
ments. The only way to do this is to
continue the conservation measure
ments in practice at present and per
haps make them more strict than
now. .
This means," says Gurdon W.
Wattles, federal food administrator
for Nebraska, "that there will be no
let UP in the saving of wheat and
meats, even if we are assured of the
biggest vheat crop of years.
"It may be difficult for some to
realize this," said Mr. Wattles, "Yet
it must be remembered that all of
our saving so far has gone to meet
immediate supply of our associates
in the war- and they getting only the
least possible rations to sustain
fighting spirit. Our saving has been
a tremendous one and it is all the
more remarkable because it has been
accomplished on purely a voluntary
b&sis.
"As the war progresses and as
we get into it with a greater force,
the transportation of foods is going
to be accomplished under greater
difficulties. If transportation should
be cut off by, any chance, our associ
ates and our own boys over there
would be in dire straits. We must
put sufficient food across to maintain
them under any condition. !
Some seem to think that after the
new crop comes in, we will not have
to conserve. But I am sure after
they understand the situation they
will willingly continue and even
respond to a more strict rationing
here. England has asked us to build
up a supply, pointing out the necessity
there. , With our own boys going
across in greater numbers, we must
provide for them and for our aa-
sociates.

German U-boats' operations on the
American coast received page head

ABSENCE OF TWO
DEMOCRATS CAUSE
OF MUCIICOMMENT
People Wonder Why Governor
Neville and Mayor Smith
Were Not at Roosevelt
Meeting.
The absence of Governor Neville
and Mayor Smith from the Roose
velt meeting at the Auditorium Sat
urday night has been commented on
by many republicans and democrats.
Inasmuch as the meeting was held
under the auspices of the National
Security league and was a non
partisan event, even democrats admit
that a 'democratic governor and a
democratic mayor could have wit'
good grace lent their official presence
to the occasion.
Democrats went to the depot with
republicans to meet Colonel RooseJ
velt, and a similar situation as ob
served at the Fontenelle hotel. James
C. Dahlman, former mayor, went to
the depot, to the hotel and sat on the
stage at the Auditorium. Other
prominent democrats took a broad
guaged view of the situation.
Last Friday Mayor Smith announc
ed that he was going to Chicago to
confer with experts in connection
with the prospective appraisal of the
Omaha Gas ptant. 'He already had
been advised of the coming of Colonel
Roosvelt and that he had been se
lected to preside as the mayor of the
city. There was no haste about
going to Chicago to confer with ap
praisal experts and the city com
missioners were not officially advised
of the mayor's action. The com
missioners do not know whether the
mayor went 'On his own expense or
whether the city will pay the ex
pense. The strange part of it, city
commissioners stated was that the
mayor should have found it neces
sary to. go to Chicago at that par
ticular time on that particular errand,
unlesshe adder not careing to pre
side at a meeting where the speaker
happened to be a republican.
Mayor Smith, however, did not
state before he left that he would not
preside at the Roosevelt meeting, nor
did he say that he knew Roosevelt
was a republican. The mayor, how
ever, did state that he knew the name
of the mayor of Lincoln was "Miller,"
and not ' Bryan.
T.C. Hildebrand Speaks
On the Effect of Sin
T. C. Hildebrand of Beatrice ad
dressed a spiritualist meeting at 2414
Cuming street Sunday night on "The
Joy of Service." He compared the
action of sin on religious bodies and
organizations with sin in the family.
"When sin and shame strike the
family, all share and bear blame," he
said. "So with religious bodies and
organizations, sin digs the grave, and
early plows furrows across the brow.
"May we fill self-dug trenches of
despondency and despair with joyous
thougths, never believing that grim
death is all and final, placing service
at the disposal of others, forgetting
self in the joy that beams from the
new born countenance." , ,
i
who sows the wind reaps the whirl
wind, even when he sits on the other
side of the great herring pond, where
he is under the delusion that he is
safe from the storm."
The Cologne Volks Zeitung talks
about "those who are prosecuting a
starvation war against our wives and
children having revealed, to them or!
their own coasts the seriousness ot
war, when the new atrategy of our
U-boat war, which technically is be
coming increasingly perfected, is also
directed against the other shore of
the Atlantic ocean. This, in view of
the character of our American oppo
nents, evokes on all sides the liveliest
satisfaction amongst the German peo
ples." . "
However, the policy of sending
U-boats to raid shipping on the Amer
kan coast has critics in Germany.
This attitude is revealed in a telegram
from Berlin to the Cologne Gazette
in which the newspaper's correspond
ent believes it necessary to try to
combat objections to this particular
submarine campaign. These objee
tions, he assumes, are based on. the
view that the war spirit and fury of
the Americans are likely to be in
creased bv such raids

SNATCH VICTORY
WHEN BASE BALLS
ARE PUT ON ICE
George Moreland's Dream
Comes True When He Ices
Pellets and Pirates Romp
Home in Lead.
Passing strange are the reasons
base ball rules have, been changed.
For years nobody could open a box
of balls except the umpire. Although
this is not followed any more. The
man who made the rule necessary
tells the inside story of his scheme
which is interesting, and can be be
lieved or not. '
Pittsburgh and Boston were billed
for an important series back in 1893.
George Moreland, then an official of
the Pirates 'kept the boxes of balls
in a safe and had exclusive charge of
them. One day, for an experiment,
he took all but one of the balls and
put them on ice. He didn't remove
the cover or brea,k the seal,
Followed the Tip.
The next afternoon, the day of the
big series, he. went up to Al Bucken
berger, the Pirate manager. "Al, I
had a dream Irst night," he said. "I
dreamed that Nichols was pitching
for the Beans and that we went to
bat first. Smith singled, Donovan
sacrificed and Stencel singled, scoring
the only run of the game. We want
to bat first, see? That's my hunch."
Buckenberger thought a moment,
then said: "I'll follow that tipjto
day. There's nothing in th4 rules
against the home team batting first."
What He Dreamed.
"Now. remember," cautioned More
land. "Tell the boys I dreamed that
Smith singled. Donovan sacrificed and
Stencel singled. Then that Jake
Beckley fouled the ball over the
fence. It won't come true unless it is
all followed."
, Pittsburgh went to bat first, much
to the surprise of the fans, and More
land tossed out the only ball that
hadn't been placed on ice. The um
pire tore off the cover agd threw it to

Nichols, who was the pitcher,
Moreland had dreamed.
"I'll never forget that game,"
laughed Moreland. "Everything came
out exactly as I had dreamed. Smith
cracked out the pill for a single and
Donovan sacrificed. Smith scored
when Stencel crashed a single."
Then Come Iced Balls.
"Jake Beckley, always good at foul
ing them off, lost, the ball over the
stand, and I threw one of the iced
balls out to the umpire. It was en
cased in its separate box and cover, so
nobody suspected anything.
"Several of the balls were tsed be
fore the battle was over. They were
like punk. It was all but impossible
to drive them past the infield. The
infielders on both sides certainly were
kept busy on assists- (
"Under the conditions nobody could
get a run and the game ended with
Pittsburgh victorious, 1 to 0. Every
body was hollering about the balls,
but they looked all right Covers
were on and the seals unbroken.
"It wasn't till long afterward that
my secret came out, and then a rule
was passed making such a proceeding
impossible in the future. Some dream,
I claim."
