Anne Steele e
An Appreciation.
(By John Hall.)

If you ever knew her. then you were
most fortunate: for she added something
to the sum total of your life and on the
other hand subtracted something that
was not an asset to you.
She was positive, not negative char
acter, having her :tandards of right, al d
if occasion demanded to express herself
she did so without any one being mis-
taken as to where she stood. She was
endowed with noble traits of character
which showed out, in words and deeds.
She was not petted and spoiled as many
having her opportunities would have
been; but grew up without distorted
opinions of what was due her from
others; rather she thought of her own
obligations to them and constantly and
faithfully set herself to the task of meas
uring UP to her duties. She never took
things for granted surprising no trouble
would arise if SHE failed in her part.
One day we were riding in the country
over road of many turns and curves. at
all of which she sounded her approach
to the danger points by sharp. frequent
blasts on the automobile horn so that
she would not be blamed in the event
any accident might happen by accidental
meeting Of car approaching from oppo-
site direction. Many men and women
might learn good lesson from her Wi e
and sensible course which she pursued
not only in driving car but in all things
when approaching pt in in life where
some secret danger night be hidden
from view.
While she was always bright, cheerful
and happy and seeking to make others
see life through the same medium, yet
she was as far removed as possible from
anything that we regard as light and
| fiippant. She was intensely human and
! felt kindly towards all, whatever might
be their social or financial station. If
any were less fortunate than she, then
she regarded that as challenge to her
resources to help make up wherein they
were lacking
Were you less fortunately situated you
could not detect any disposition on he,
part to 'patronize" you, thus calling

receiving subscriptions to Saturday
night, November 1st. Township
chairmen and their committees in
precincts which have not yet reached
their quota are all putting in over
time this week to reach the required
amount. The amount assigned to

less than the full quota. 1t is hoped

GARRY HERMANN
WILL RETAIN lob

NEW YORK, March Garry Herr
mann will remain in the saddle as
chairman of the National Commission
for at least a year, according to base
ball men here today.
The joint committee appointed by
the American and National Leagues
to select a successor to Hermann has
not held a meeting, and there is no
indication that one will be held in the
near future.
The damage suit instituted by the
Baltimore Federal League Club, which
comes to trial at Washington, March
10, has brought about a truce over
the question of the commission on
craftsmanship, it is said.
The Baltimore Federals name the
National Commission, the two major
leagues and Harry Sinclair and Jim
Gilmore. Hermann, il will be re-
membered, was an important witness
for organized baseball in the hearing
of the Baltimore case in Philadelphia
and it is expected that his testimony
in the coming trial will have an i'm
portant bearing.
The appointment of a successor a,
this time would be very Liable to pref
udice the case. according to opinion
expressed here, and Hermann may be
expected to continue in office until
the next annual meeting of the COM
mission.
