Hopeful Outlook.

Fifth. the crown OF hope This
year is going rapidly to its close, hut
1t does not bring sorrow with 1t. We
look out upon its closing months, and
onward into the new months, with
real hope in our hearts. God has
brought us through the dark days Of
an earlier year, and we believe we can
see the great light ahead
Crops have been abundant, prices
have been brought lower, work is
waiting to be done, new products must
be manufactured and the men are
ready to do the work.
I'VE look forward with hope to our
church life Already we can see the
promise of the great things. In my
own church. at least, young people are
already enlisting for the life and will
soon unite with the church ] believe
their is room for large hope, and that
with Gods continued blessing. our de-
! termination, our conservation and our
efforts. will win many to our Lord"

LOOK To HERMANN
TO END STRUGGLE
Chairman Of National Commits
sion Only Man Thought
Capable Of Big Task.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. Nov. a0.--Ausust
Hermann. chairman Of the National
Baseball Commission and president OF
the Cincinnati Reds. is counted on as
the one man in the whole universe who
can bring about peace between organ
lied baseball and the Federals.
The foregoing Is the substance OF an
article that appeared In the Times
star. an afternoon publication owned
by Charles =. Taft, owner Of the Chi
caGo Cubs.
The article goes further in saying that
peace may be brought about between
the two warning factions at the annual
meeting Of the National League in New
York next month. The article reads:
when he goes to New York to at
tend the annual December condSave Of
the magnates he Is more than likely to
carry with him a large and varied as
sortment Of pea ace-making powers. There
more effort to end the ;umult and the
shin-kicking. and Mr.. Hermann. so
goes the current rumor, has been chosen
as the dove to tote the olive branch
around.
"Organized ball, OF course, will pay q
great deal OF attention to anything Mr..
Hermann says or does. II he outlines
plans OF peace at the December gath
the National and American Leagues.
And there Is the kernel of the nut, the
whole thing simmered down. the Fed
cral League is quite willing to let him
present its ideas and is dead anxious
to trust him for square deal. There
are reasons. For instance:
Cincinnati is one-club town. and
has not been bothered by the actual
presence Of Federal competition. The
president Of a team in a one-club town
would not be sCayed by prejudice or
stunR by the memory Of his losses as
might be the case with any magnate
from city where there had been vio-
lent competition. Mr.. Hermann. since
october !. has heard the Federal League
leaders talk. and has had time to weigh
all their arguments Mr.. Hermann IL
in position to look at both sides OF
the case with far more .Quanimity than
any other magnate in the three leagues.
And. the Federals are willing to let
him discuss their case, without the
slightest fear that he will give them
anything but fair deal In short
though without any official document
without any previously published sane.
tion, Mr.. Hermann goes to the New
York meeting as trusted representa-
tive OF all parties concerned and with
all of them depending largely on him
to start peace arrangements"
