FOOD CLUBS PRESENT IMPORTANT PROBLEMS
(By C. V. Stainaby. Assistant to Dr. Harry E. Barnard, Federal Food Administrator for Indiana.) When such a large organization as that of the U. S. Food Clubs 4s undertaken many questions arise. The first one to present itself in thia case is: Why form another organization when there are so many already? The answer is easy. There is no other organization that can do the work. Many other organizations were willing to help. Many organization® have given great assistance. The U. 8. Food Administration appreciates all; that has been done but there were too many gaps left which could not be ignored. By working through existing organizations some homes would be reached through half a dozen different sources. *The great majority of I homes, however, were not reached at all. It was necessary that these homes be reached to ■ keep them in touch with the needs of the hour. Hence the Food Clubs.
There is another reason why existing organizations could not satisfy all requirements. A literary society, for example, would meet to discuss ■ food problems. The same program would be given perhaps as that ear-' ried out by a Food Club. The liter-, ary society would still think of Itself as a literary society doing work dis- • £ erent from its usual line. The Food Glub on the other hand realizes that ■it is doing its own work. When four thousand U. S. Food Clubs are at | work, conscious that they are doing I the work for which they were created 1 there will be greater interest and greater results than would otherwise be possible. A special organization is necessary tc fight our food battles at home just a? surely as a special organization was needed to fight the battles in France. The War Department created the National Army. The U. f S. Food Administration for Indiana is organizing the U. S. Food Clubs. Be ready’ to join a U. S. Food Club . in your neighborhood. I

ELEPHANT BALL GAME Of the many stunt# performed by the Sparks Circus herd of elephants the one that probably gets the most appreciation is the game of baseball played by these mighty and unwieldy pachyderms. Every play is gone through with in the most ludicrous manner, and the laughs furnished by this -number will remain as a pleasant remembrance of the circus.
! Illi tot - /* >lß,lllll—l ■■■■■■aauammuuuwawtouuuu■■■»• n All the accessories—pitcher, batter, catcher, umpire, fielders and their gloves, masks, bats and uniforms—are present, and Big Mary m the roll of batter seldom misses a home-run swat, and has thus « s^bll^® d ® .400 mark batting record for herself. Running the 'bases ana the slide to home plate never fail-to bring forth rounds of applause and laughter from the audience. Another funny situation is when the pitcher has two strikes on “Big Mary,” he and the catcher get into an animated argument over the next ball to be served by the pitcher and trumpet into each others ears. This little piece of by-play always meets with the instant approval of the audience and adds greatly to the already funny number. This act was presented tb New York City’s delighted millions last winter and came in for -more favorable newspaper comments than any animal act-seen there in recent years. This feature is positively on the program of the Sparks World Fwnvniis Shows, which are billed so exhibit here next Saturday, Aug. 17th.
