The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1918-07-11
HE Fourth of July cele-
bration for the inhabi-
tants of this Silent City,
was ushered in bv threat.

N-Ng was ushered in by threat
ening weather. By the time the
ball game was scheduled to take
place, the air was full of mist and
the last two innings of the game
was played in a downpour of rain,
causing very much disappointment
among the fans, for all were anx-
ious to see the game proceed to its
full quota of innings.
Wells, who pitched for the To-
Gals, with the noble assistance he
received, it was possible to give
him credit with mo hit" game
and a complete shut-out. Out of
sixteen men who faced him at bat,
only two got safely to first base.
One is passed on balls, the other
gets on by wild throw; one of
them tries to steal second but is
out, Helm to Brad. The other one
anchored himself safely on the first
sack and remained there till the
side was retired. Wells struck out
five men, passed one on balls, and
himself making one two-base hit.
The locals began their scoring
in the opening inning of the game.
After two men had been retired
by the strike-out route, Bush gets
on by Goulette heaving the ball
over Beyers' head. which advanced
Bush to second base. Burn found
the horsehide for a two-bagger
scoring Bush. Jam lands on one
for safe hit scoring Burn, Add
struck out. Again in the third IN
ming the locals came right back,
duplicating the first inning. After
two men were out Bush gets on by
being hit with a pitched ball.
Burn draws a pass on balls. Jam
this time drives one out for two
bases scoring Bush and Burn. Add
again struck out. The last score
for the locals was made by Wells
driving out a two-base hit and
scoring on East's single. The To-
Gals found Goulette's offerings for
four singles and two double hits,
which netted the locals five runs.
Goulette pitched stellar ball,
striking out ten men, passing one
on balls and hitting one batsman;
he himself making the only error
that was made by the visiting team.
The visitors put up a wonderful
battle to make some showing in the
game, but their inability to hit and
hit safely was responsible for their
overwhelming defeat.
P. Beyers, who is well known
hereabouts by being the central
figure in many past games played
here, officiated as umpire for the

Girl Power to Replace
Man Pover at Park

COLUMBUS, April 8.--Girl power Is
to replace man power ut the Columbus
park of the American Association this
season The reason for the change. as
explained by Joe Tinker, president and
manager Of the club, is a mixture Of
patriotism and the extreme difficulty
in obtaining men for the work.
When baseball fans buy their tickets
this season, they will receive their
change from a girlish cashier: they
will hand their "ducat" to trim bru-
nette--or perhaps blonde. A uni
formed girl will operate the turnstiles
and girls will be employed as ushers.
Tinker said that when he gets his
new plan in operation about the only
mere man connected with the park will
be the baseball players, the manager,
club secretary and ground-keeper.
Even the peanut boy probably will he
no boy at all. Girls probably will be
tried for the work.
Men will be in great demand this
summer, Tinker contends. and the rad
ical move will release several men for
military duty who otherwise would
have been employed.

The Need for Nurses

The human wreckage and salvage of the bat
tlefield must be saved. To the task of rebuild
ing shot-torn and wounded men, thousands of
nurses bend their efforts. To them falls the
grinding work of applying the helping hand that
assuages pain and suffering.
War nurses dedicate their lives to a noble
cause. Their devotion and heroism is a chapter
of war history that tells Of service we'll and
nobly performed.
A call has been sounded for more nurses.
Their presence in war hospitals is imperatively
needed. Indiana has been proud of the men it
has sent into the service, the Liberty bonds it
has purchasd, the money it has contributed to
the Red Cross and the Y. NJ C. A. Here is a
chance for Hoosiers to show their patriotic i'm
pulses in another direction.

Entente Powers and the United by force OF arms.
This challenge has been accepted by the Al
lies, and only few days ago President Wilson in
a speech at Baltimore said in unequivocable
words:
Germany has once more said that force, and
force alone, shall decide whether justice and
peace shall reign in the affairs of men; whether
right as America conceives it, or dominion as she
conceives. shall determine the destinies of man
kind.
There is, therefore, but one response posi-
bic from US; force, force to the utmost; force
without stint or limit the righteous force which
shall make right the law of the world, and cast
every selfish dominion in the dust"
II accept the challenge. know that you ac-
cept it. All the world shall know you accept it.
It shall appear in the utter sacrifice and self-for
getfulness with which we shall give up all that
we love and all that we have to redeem the world
and make it fit for free men like ourselves to
live in. This now is the meaning Of what we do.
"Let everything that we say, my fellow coun-
trymen, everything that we henceforth plan and
accomplish, ring true to this response till the
majesty and might of our concerted power shall
fill the thought and utterly defeat the force Of
those who flout and misprize what we honor and
hold DEAR"
The challenge of autocracy be answered
only by men, materials and money, for these are
the prime essentials of warfare. America has
not held back in her contribution of these neces-
sites.
The third Liberty Loan is one answer to the
challenge. That the issue will be taken up, in
deed over-subscribed, is assured. Wayne county
has her organization perfected to obtain our al
lotment. When the campaign closes, Wayne
county will have proved again that she is in the
war to win.

Wayne County's War Work

It is with pardonable pride that Wayne coun-
ty can look back upon it's first years war work.
If tree is known by its fruits, there is no doubt
about the inherent virility and soundness OF
Wayne county's loyalty and patriotism.
It is pleasing to note in this connection that
a flattering review of the county's participation
in the great work of keeping the civilization OF
the world intact can be made at an hour when
the citizens of this community are planning to
prove again their loyalty by investing $1,lOO,-
900 of their wealth and savings in the third Lib
erty Loan.
In the last twelve months Wayne county con-
tributed more than $3,25O,000 to various pa
triotic causes The first Liberty loan enlisted
S1,135, $50, the second brought forth S1,7O0,OOO,
and $3.50, 900 worth of War Savings stamps have
been purchased
Patriotic funds that were not investments
but gifts elected $4,000. Of this sum, $335OO
went for the Y M. C. A. work, $4,000 for the
Red Cross and $500 for the Rotary club war
fund.
More than $4,000 persons are members of the
Red Cross.
These figures tell an inspiring story.
They proclaim that Wayne county is imbued
with the idea of patriotic service, energetic in
the manifestation Of loyalty and eminently will
ing to do more than it's share in furthering the
work in which civilization is engaged.
Let the figures be an incentive to increased
fervor and service!
And as we plunge into the campaign of rails
ING the quota of $11OO,O 900, let it be with sense
of the high privilege accorded us, free born
men and women enjoying in abundance the OPP
