OBITUARY

Mrs. Minnie Shaddox, wife of
Earnest Shaddox, died at the
family home at Bingen June %,
1915, in her twenty second year.
It's strange to our finite minds
that a young person full of life
and promise of good works should
be removed by death cut off as
it werein the bloom of youth. But
Our Heavenly Father comes and
gathers up His jewels in His own
good time. So mother and babe
were taken together to rest in
that home where joy and peace
doth ever abide.
Minnie will certainly be missed
by family, friends and the church.
She joined t h e Presbyterian
church at the age of 13 and was a
faithful member, ever willing to
do all she could for the Masters
cause,
Can we keep from grieving for loved
ones lost
To us forever, tho they be in Heaven?
Far from sorrows, the river is crossed:
Peace, JOY and love to them is given.
Jesus wept for Lazarus. his beloved:
So then it is not wrong to weep
For our loved ones when they re called
Within the silent tomb to sleep.
| But grief is selfish when we wish
To call them back to this frail earth.
For they are happy in Heaven above
Where grief nor sorrow nor tears
have birth.
/ Then let us strive to meet above
| Our loved ones gone before,
J And dwell forever with God in love
Beyond that bright and peaceful
shroe.

WINDOW CLEANER.

A reader of the Christian Science
Monitor says she has found that
bag filled with powdered pumice
stone is an excellent window cleaner.
She makes the bag Of unbleached cot
ton cloth of soft quality, not too
firm. When finished, the bag is six
inches wide and twelve inches long.
Into this she puts about one-eighth
of a pound of the pumice stone. To
prevent soiling this bag, it is slipped
into a cheesecloth case that can be
removed and washed. No water is
used on the window, but it is rubbed
first with a piece of tissue paper,
then polished with the bag.

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY p. p. claxton,
u. S. Commissioner of Education.


In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length OF
school term in cities of the United
States is one hundred and eighty
five days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, diff
ference of forty-seven days. In some
States the difference is much greater
than this average. In many counties
the average length of the rural
school term is less than one hun
dred days, and in some districts it is
less. On the other hand, in the
States of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
in session one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
States almost as long. The country
schools of Rhode Island are in ses'
sion one hundred and ninety days in
a year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity for education we must
even up the school terms of the
country and give to all country chill
dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-five days OF
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun'
tries in which the schools, both for
city and country, are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
bred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education as those of any 9TH
er country, and this applies to the
rural as well as urban districts.

PALAMA TDSSERS
CONTINUE TO WIN
in INDOOR GAMES
SENIOR LEAGUE.

Last night in the games hall Of the
Y. NJ. G. A. the Palama and the Star
Bulletin teams opened the last half
OF the present season OF indoor base
ball, which includes the yearly cham
pionship, and after last nights game,
which was won hands down by Pala-
ma IA to 4, it Is morally certain that
the Palamas will be the champions
unless two-thirds Of their present
team should suddenly die.
The present Palama Senior team,
from catcher to the outffeld, man for
man outclass the entire league and
with a stone wall infield their defense
ia perfect. In last nights game the
one interesting feature was the fact
that the Star-Bulletin boys never stop
ped trying, but odds against them
we're more than they could meet.
Parker Star.
In Johnny Parker Palama has the
most promising young pitcher seen
here for a long while, and the fact
that he stands the gaff under fire
speaks well for his future. In the
eighth inning last night, with three on
and none down, he played and used
his head like an oldtimer, and not
only pulled himself out of the hole
without letting the Star-Bulletins
score, but by making his catcher
change signals time after time, which
IN every instance proved the very
thing needed, clearly demonstrates
that they were wise in electing him
a pitcher-captain.
G. Ping, who is first-string catcher
for Palama, is the best catcher In the
league, while Rosehill at first, Dusky
Brash at second and Yen Chin at
third miss nothing, and pull off plays
that make an ordinary fast team
seem slow. Chung, for the Star-Bul-
letins, started to pitch, but was later
replaced by Chang. Neither, however.
seemed to be able to stop the Palama
Sluggers.
Leong for the Star Bulletins led his
team at bat, getting three hits out Of
five times up, while ]. Parker led
Palama with the stick, getting four
safe ones out of five trips to the plate.
d. Bent led in run getting and he and
his brother Henry did some great
base running in the fourth. Tonight

meet at Kauluwela.

lST INFANTRY
Meet 18th AT
POST FRIDAY
Lieut.. SadtIer'S Crew Will Make
Another Attempt to Win
SchofieId Title

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
SCH0FIELD BARRACKS, Dec. %.
Interest is being conferred in the
coming baseball series of three games
between the LIST Infantry and the 18th.
The first game of this holiday series
will be played Friday afternoon in
stead of Christmas as previously an
nounced. Turkey does not form a
part of the army ration, nor do mince
pies, cranberry sauce, fruit cake and a
few other delicacies that habitually
appear on the mess tables Christmas
noon. So the ball players are going
to break training on Christmas and
give the ball park holiday as well.
The second game will be played De-
cember 18th and If third game is
necessary it will take place Sunday,
January 2.
The games between these two rival
regiments will no doubt draw big
crowds. What the object of the Sc
ries may be is a matter of conjecture,
unless it be purely mercenary. The
admission charges announced are
much larger than ever charged before
for local games, and this aspect does
not meet with popular favor among
the many who desire TO see sports in
The army kept as far as possible on
an amateur basis, and charges for adj
mission reduced to what may be ne
cessaFy to cover expenses.
The 25th has nothing to gain by
playing another series with Lieut..
Sadtler's team, and everything to lose,
provided they do lose, which seems
very improbable. The army cham
pions have been playing steadily dur
ing the past several months, meeting
the best teams on the island, and
winning a large percentage of the
games. The LIST Infantry team has
been disoragnized since the Schofield
series last summer. A few of the
players have found place on the
all-army team and others have been
playing In company games However,
Lieut. Sadtler finds his men in the
best of trim, and the team has been
showing up strong In their daily prac-
tlse and in their games with some Of
the company teams. Lieut.. Sadtler
places much reliance upon his own
right arm, and upon York's- mighty
left, but this reliance fell down be-
FORE In the game played between
these two regiments on September 2,
York was knocked out of the box in
the first inning and the game won by
the 25th In the eleventh, when Sadt-
Ter was touched up for three singles.
On September 20 York and Sadtler
pitched again against Saunders hard
hitting team and were defeated to 3.
However, the 1st. Infantry may be
preparing to spring surprise. If
they defeat the 25th there will be mo
end of celebration at Cashier, and it
will also give them a chance to break
into the Carnival series.
Rival Troops to Play.
This afternoon B and c. troops will
cross bats on the Cavalry-Artillery
diamond. These two organizations
have been rivals in equitation and in
all forms of athletics. In baseball B
Troop has generally had the best of
it, but c Troop has recently acquired
some new players, and has issued an
other challenge.
