THOSE BASEBALL TRADES.

The pennant races In the big leagues
used to be tests OF ability,
Where also entered gray matter, pluck,

But the All Mighty Dollar will be the
main factor In the race
In the event either the Giants or Yanks

The recent trades between the Boston
and the New York clubs,
Where one team receives stars In eI-
change for cash and dubs,
Makes us wonder why Commissioner

this fine way.
It may be his opinion that the deals
are on the square.
That chicanepy docs not exist In them

unaided, win the race.

The Rebecca Le6faea k,;ss;s.,.
society has come to the end q :, M!
third quarter Of the year 1922. Win
a very satisfactory record I'VE feel.
that this is partly due to the cnthuss
iasm which has been manifestetl bv
the members throughout the entire
year, but more especially to the
never failing interest that our cffi-
Gent leader Mrs. George S. Steele.
has always shown in the society
and il us. The Rebecca LeGrand
Is constantly trying to conceive
some plan for surprising the
amount pledged for the year. orr
new plan OF pledging by the MONTH
instead of by the year, is proving a
wonderful success, as the piedkes
are coming in very rapidly.
We feel very mucl. gratified al
the social service work that we.
have built up this year, under the
leadership Of Laura Page Steele.
Numerous visits to the sick and
needy ones are reported at every
meeting. Four of the members OF
the society hold weekly song SER
vice at the conyict's camp. And
every third Sunday of the month
members hold prayer meeting at
the County Home. We have taken
under our care and supervision. a
little lo-year-old girl out at the.
County Home whose name is Maud.
Our object is to clothe her, and as
often as possible, pay her social
visit or take her to ride. We do
this not from a sense of duty, but
from sense of pleasure. Because
, it is a real pleasure to feel that we
have thrown little sunshine into
Maud's life.
We have organized a Mission
Study class, using Playing Square
With TOMORROW as our text book.
Our mission study class alternates
with our Bible study class, making
each more interesting.
Three-fourths of the year have
passed, leaving us only one quarter
in which to realize our goals, or
rather our requirements. But we
feel very confident of doing this
with Mrs. George Steele behind" us
who stands ready, willing and
eager to help us in every thing we.
undertake. And it is to her that
the Rebecca LeGrand Missionary
society owes the wonderful success
that it has attained.
