OBITUARY

Mrs. I. J. Atwood, of Bruce, Wis
consin, answered the final summons,
Sunday, January Z, 1917.
Many were grieved to learn Of the
death Of Mrs l. J. Atwood at her
home Sunday, January z. Death re-
suited from diabetes.
Funeral services were held at the
residence at $50 a. m, January 8,
after which the remains were taken
to Paynes Point, Illinois, and laid to
rest in Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
The deceased was born at Paynes
Point Illinois, April Il, 1855, being
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Au-
gustus Austin, who settled in Ogle
county in the early 40's. On Decem-
ber 27, 1877 she was united in mar
riage to I. j. Atwood, who with one
son j. V. Atwood of Bruce, survive.
Four sisters and three brothers also
survive her.
Mrs Atwood was a kind and LOVING
wife and mother, ever mindful Of the
comfort and happiness of those who
We're near to her. She was a faith
full and earnest member Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. Not only
faithful to her church, but just as
faithful in believing that it was her
duty as a Christian to do the will OF
the Master at all times. She was
always ready to lend a helping hand
in time Of need, both in acts Of kind
ness and in words.
Ten years of her life prior to her
removal to Wisconsin were spent IN
Estherville, Iowa, where she acted
efficiently as superintendent Of the
Junior Epworth League and teacher
Of the primary class in Sunday
School. Her great love for children
and her natural ability to instruct
them, endeared her greatly in their
hearts. Many Of these children now
grown into young manhood and
womanhood will recall vividly the
many helpful teachings received from
her. This fact was beautifully illus
trated during visit of Mrs. Atwood
to Estherville, when two promising
young men, on being asked why they
were waiting at the church door, re-
piled, I'VE are waiting to speak to
our old Sunday School teacher"
real tribute to teacher from former
Sunday School pupils.
In contrast to this love for child
rem was her devotion to old people.
Nothing pleased her more than TO
visit lonely shut-in's, and try to bring
into their small circle something OF
the brightness from the great out-of-
door world. By this labor of love,
so freely given, her own life was en-
riched and was made nobler in its
unselfish service by a reward of a
hundred fold.
There is only a curtain between us,
Between the beyond and the here;
They whom we call dead have not
left us,
Nay, they were never SO near

OWNERS BOUND TO WIN
Ball Players Are in Losing
Battle and Will Be the
Biggest Losers.

What is going to be the outcome of
the present feud raging between or
ganized baseball and players fra
ternity is question the public would
like to have answered. Threats and
tums laid down and the very vitals Of
the national pastime exposed to public
eyes during the last two weeks. The
outcome must be one OF two condl-
tions: complete revolution of the
laws and codicils covering baseball. or
the submissiveness of players to the
conditions named by the magnates and
a general slashing of salaries. This
appears to be the only plausible solu-
, ton with both factions uncompromis
ing in their attitude.
If David F'nltZ, who is a lawyer in
addition to being president of the
players fraternity. wins his case for
the players, he will inscribe his name
in the haIl of fame as the man who
brought about the downfall of base
ball. for a careful study of the mental
attitude of the players as a whole con-
vinces that baseball cannot exist with
the whip hand of power in the hands
of the players. If the players arc to
have final say in the making of the
laws, the machinery IF baseball is go
ing to be clogged it is inevitable.
There are a number of men con-
nected with the playing end of the
game possessed of more than average

power and yet their actions. their
thoughts would be swayed by the
sympathy for the player as II Is well

upon the magnate merely as an Incl

refractory athletes is a forcgonc con
| CMSion To a man up n tree it looks
very much like the players are fight
ing a losing battle all the way. If tho
scale of wages is standardized. they
arc going to hurt themselves: if tho
club owners win the fight they arc
going to take it out of the players
so just where the players figure they
