it is too bad such game mas 10 pc
! staged in another town, instead OF
/ right here in our own home burg. But
! fans who have something to say Will
be forced to speak TO members or the
| La Sale County Fair association.
| Dunn and other members of the fans
association did all in thir power to
put on the game here or even at
Aurora But there was no chance
Nevertheless the game will be played
in all its glory at Streator and just
| as big il not a bigger crowd Is eX-
pected to witness the encounter,
When Dunn's warriors clashed
against Pierce before the de-
feated by final score of : to and
only allowed two hits. But on that
day Pierce pitched a superb game of
ball, probably better than he ever did
when pitching for the Chicago Ma
tionals Then with only few eXcep-
tions he was up against a mock OF
near beers in baseball. Shorty Shell
don and Polly Wolfe were the only
locals who took part in that game.
Sheldon played left field for Dunn
while Polly was stationed at center
for the team from the city up the FOX.
O'Brien batted in the ninth inning OF
that game.
This time Dunn has whole new
outfit, something that will make the
Aurora team sit up and take notice.
Even new pitcher. Cy Young OF st.
Louis was the man who occupied the
mound in the previous battle with the
Aurora club This time Spencer
Heath will face the noted Pierce and
his gang.
Fans, it will be frantic scramble,
with both sides playing thier best
and the heavy hitting of Wilmeroth,
Sheldon. Wolfe and few more or
OttaWas heavies will pave the way
to victory for the locals.
Everybody should and no doubt Will
attend the game at "flardscrabbie'
tomorrow. The members of the Fans
Association are doing everything to
accommodate the fans at Streator.
Special cars have been employed to
convey the passengers to Streator
The specials will leave at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. Don't forget TO
attend as it is the first game that
the locals played out Of town this
year, and they surely won't get the
backing in Streator that they have
been used to getting in Ottawa. The
game will be called at o'clock, the
usual time with Fitzpatrick and Jae-
ger umpiring. Following are the line

POLK COUNTY BOOTH
HAS USUAL SPACE AT
SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR

Arrangements are now being made
for the reconstruction and improve
ment of the Polk county booth at the
South Florida Fair. The county has
its usual space of 15x60 feet. A field
agent is working around the county
calling on growers and farmers, in
teresting them in saving and securing
some special fruit, plant or flower.
County Agent William CONNIE
says:
Arrangements have been made for
an exhibition of phosphate, also fos-
sils found in the mines which date
back to prehistoric times. 1t is earn
estly requested that people growing
truck, hay or special fruits get in
touch with us at Barlow. We have
plenty of catalogues which show what
we MUST have to win or get any
showing Special varieties Of citrus
fruits are also desirable. If any farm
er or grower thinks he has something
that can be used and will communi
cate with me, Phone I'll, Barlow, and
one of us will call on him and make
satisfactory arrangements. To win or
get any showing we must have the
help of the people.

PROSPERITY LULL TEMPORARY

The readjustment in prices and
profits, now going on in the business
and industrial world, furnishes nc
justification for pessimism There will
be no prolonged depression. Just as
soon as a stabilized basis is reached
business is certain to expand and in.
dustry, will be quickened. The great
recession in prices and accompanying
decrease in demand for goods is an
Inevitable aftermath of the war boom
The wonder is that it did not come
sooner. Everybody knew it was com.
ing. Some people prepared for it.
Others went on as if the boom in bust
ness and the rise in prices would con-
tinue indefinitely.
The readjustment process has
wiped out a good many hundred mil.
lions of paper profits made in the
war boom and has put merchants and
producers in an uncomfortable posi-

ton. The discomfort and distress,
however, by contrast with the wild
fights of war prices, seem greater
than they are.
There s no question that fundamen-
tai things in America are sound-in
finance, in merchandising, in industry,
in agriculture. The country is rich
with accumulated war profits. The
crops are abundant. The banks have
been foresighted in avoiding the ad-
mission Of doubtful securities to their
assets. The factories are equipped
better than ever before to meet the
demands of the country. The average
scale Of living is higher than ever be-
fore, which means that potential de-
mand fer goods is enormous and the
present lull in buvirg is only tempo
rary.
Anyone who feels inclined to be
discouraged over the present situation
and disheartened over the future
should compare this cuntry's condi-
tion with Europe's. The United States
accumulated vast wealth in the war
while Europe was exhausting it's
goods, its men and it's financial re-
sources; yet Europe is coming back
marvelously, increasing its produc-
ton, strengthening it's finances, re-
storing its business stability. All the
American people have to do is to wait
patiently for the completion Of the
readjustment and then be ready for
the resumption of prosperity that is
as certain to come as the succeeding
seasons. k. c. Star.

HOT NEEDLES FOR

But the Chinese System of
Medicine is Rather Hard
on the Patient.

In a recent issue of the Missionary
Review OF the World the following
story OF what a woman medical mis-
sionary encountered at the very out
set Of her career in China was
printed:
Three or four weeks after Miss
laura, our new nurse arrived in
Shanghai, she received an enthusiastic
note from Therese, a young French
girl she had met on the steamer, in
.viting us 70 dinner. Therese had
come out TO be married but did not
IKE the man, and had found a posi-
ION TO teach In one OF the schools in
Frenchtown. The principal, a rich
widow, had taken great fancy to
fer and had invited her to live with
her.
When we entered the salon we

The other guests She was a hand

As soon as the introductions were
over, SIZE drew me aside.

she assures me 1t is so. Pray forgive
me II trouble you. Just a momen.

cpnsternation saying that his only son
was having a convulsion. | ordered
him TO fmmerse the child at once in
a hot mustard bath. May beg you
70 come to see him? shall feel more
comfortable through dinner"
Certainly I answered, 81 shall be
very glad to see the child"
Madame Rounger excused herself
trom her guests and led me through
the back hail along covered corri-
dor, TO the semidetached servants
quarters in the rear. On the second
floor the doors of row of cell-like
rooms opened upon narrow porch.
From the corner room came the sound
Of confused and excited talk. The
small space was crowded with jabber-
ing women and boys. The sick child,
q boy about ten, had just been taken
out of the mustard bath and put to
bed.
Let us turn them all out but his
mother insisted. 1.-THE child must
be kept quiet"

women out by their shoulders. We got
