I SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19—The
5* women-of California are organizing as
_ an actual army of conservation for the
period of the war. It will be an army
of democracy in every sense of the
word. Interest, enthusiasm and in
telligence will be the only factors
that will count. The little steno
grapher who works in a down town
■ office has the opportunity to become
a Major-General in this army as the
wife of the man who employs her.
This organization will exactly par
allel that of the National army with
the same company, regiment, brigade,
division and Corps organization and
the same ranks of officers, so that for
every private and every officer of the
U. S. in France, there will bo a cor
responding rank of authority. At a
later period it is proposed to a de
gree to bring the two great organ
izations into such close touch that
a company or regiment or even an
individual officer in the war army In
Europe will know that a similar com
pany, regiment or officer in the army
of conservation is directly and per
sonally responsible for looking after
their or his interests and who she
is.
If Captain Smith of Company B,
_ Fifth Regiment, Second Brigade,
Third, Division in Europe, finds his
[ men lacking in comforts or necessi
ties he will know that Captain Mabel
Tillingford of the same Company Re
giment, brigade and division in Cali
fornia is responsible for it.
Headquarters for the organization
of the great women’s army of con
servation in California has been es
tablished at San Francisco and a Di
rector of organization has been ap
pointed and given full authority of
the Federal Food Commission to carry
through the immense work of creat
■Jt ing this regular army of conservation.
mm '
Each regiment, brigade and division
will however, have its own perma
nent local headquarters, and the state
will be divided into regular army
corps with local headquarters and
staff officers. Only women will be
excepted for enlistment.
Two General - Staff headquarters
will be established. That at San
Francisco and one at Los Angeles,
having jurisdiction respectively over
the army organizations of the North
ern and the Southern halfs of the
I State.
I Every officer of this army of con
IZ nervation will be provided with insig
_ nia or office, whether Sergeant, Cap
tain, or Major as is worn by the reg
ular army of the nation, and have
similar duties and authority. The en
tire organization will be created in
exact accordance with that of the
National Army. Promotion will be
entirely for service and in accordance
with the regular army discipline and
regulations. The first step in this re
markable enlistment of the women of
California into an actual army of ser
vice for the period of the war will be
the enrolling of volunteer enlistment
officers.
Each women volunteering as an en
listment officer will immediately write
a letter to the Director of the Organ
ization, giving her name and address
and stating that she volunteers to en
list a squad of eight or more privates
after which she will receive her for
mal commission as a Seargent in com
mand of the squad. If she secures the
enlistment of twenty-four privates
she will be commissioned as a Lieut
enant of Platoon with three Seargents
under her.
An enlistment of ninty-six privates
will make her a Captain of a Company
with four Lieutenants, and twelve
Seargents under her authority. It is
planned that back of every man in
the trenches there will be a women at
the fireside, and that the honor and
credit of winning the war will be
equally divided befweqn the great
National Army of the sons, husbands,
brothers and cousins marching to do
battle for Democracy with guns and
cannon, and the equally great Na
tional Army of Conservation at the
fireside guarding, conserving and for
warding the base supplies.
This will in no wise interfere with
their other duties, organizations,
clubs and so on, but like the enlist
ment of men from every walk in life,
demanding of them that the business
of the nation and Its national safety
shall take precedence over evrv other
interest in one great war organiza
tion, even to the extent of the sacri
fice of their lives if necessary, it Is
now proposed to marshal the women
of California In an equally efficient
and vital army.
This army of conservation will have
its signal corps, it* cavalry, It* med
ical corps, it* quartermasters depart
ment, Its officers and staff and every
feature of the regular army.
Stenographers, telegraph and tele
phone operators and those engaged >
In similar occupations will be en
listed Into the signal qprps. Women
owning automobiles will be enlisted
In the cavalry. Newspaper editors
writers, reporters, etc.. In the Artil
lery, since this will also be a great
campaign of education in conservation
through the press, of the great mass
jf the people.
The first step is already being tak
en, and the work of organization will
move forward with swiftness, since
orders from Herliert C. Hoover are
that the organization of the entire
state be completed by the first of
next month. Officers will rank ac
cording to their priority of commis
sion, thus the Captain in a Regiment
who first received" her commission
will be the ranking Captain and will
rirst receive advancement to the rank
of Major. The Seargent of a Com
pany who was first commissioned
will be tha ranking Seargent of the
company and first to be advanced to
a Lieutenancy.

IS AFFECTING
(By United Press)
NEW YORK, Oct. 19. — The small
number of minor league players draft
ed this year by the majors is an indi
cation of the caution with which base
ball is moving these precarious times.
Fear of that bigger draft, fhe United
States army, the uncertainty of the
game in 1918, and a dozen other things
is injecting a spirit of go-easiness into
the game it has never felt before.
The National Commission has taken
steps to protect clubs drafting players
when it announced that in case a play
er was drafted for the army, he should
be turned back to the club from which
he was taken and the purchase price
returned to the club drafting him, but,
just the same, big leaguers and the
smaller classes are taking few
chances.
The same thing has been true of the
number or players purchased. Many
players promising enough for a trip
to the big show, have been left in the
minors this year simply because the
big club didn't feel like taking the
chance.
This is only one more rock over
which minor leagues must crawl be
fore they can see their way to pros
perous baseball next season. The sale
of players always has been one of
their principal sources of revenue.
’ As the year wears on it becomes
more and more apparent that only the
strongest of the smaller baseball clas
sifications will be able to stand the
strong-arm methods the war fs using
an their treasuries. Several leagues
already have thrown up the sponge.
The season Jtlst closed will be the
end for many more.
When Harry Hempstead mystified
ever big leaguer in the country by
drafting "Tanglefoot,” of Grand Rap
Ids, he became the first man to put
one over on John E. Bruce. Tangle
foot, according to Hempstead, was the
greatest fly catcher the world ever
saw. The Joke originated in the I’olo
Grounds, where the fence surrounding
the park bears a sign reading: "Burns,
New York, caught 287 flies in 1916.
Tanglefoot, Grand Rapids, caught 50,
000,000,000 flies.”
"Some fly catcher.” figured Hemp
stead, so he put in a draft for the
marvel and sent a check to pay for
him. The draft was official, and will
go into the records of the National
Commission.

FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $130.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss?
Any person wishing to build
can secure a fine residential or
business lot in Cordova from us
on exceptionally liberal terms.
Five hundred lots listed.
