This ended the locals scoring until the last
half of the fifth stanza. But during the
intermediate frames, Hayes was continual
ly in hot water. Shu led off in the fifth
with double to right and was advanced
to third on wild pitch. Del grounded
out, Hayes to Fahey. On Dts infeld out,
Shu slid over the platter in safety Gall
went out on a long fly to Hanson that re-
tired the side with one hit, one run and
one error.
The last brace of runs for the locals
came in the sixth round. Eos led off by.
going out on foul fly to Sinberg but
Sher waited for good one and was final
ly passed on balls. Bur got triple to

Vigerust and while Nor was batting,
Bur made a successful steal of home.

BASEBALL

The Hook'em Cow baseball tossers
from South St. Paul, who locked horns
with the local aggregation last Saturday,
for an afternoons pastime, left for home
with the locals scalps very badly gored
and dangling from their horns, by
count of 8 to 5, as far as figures go, in
seven inning contest.
The whole trouble with the game seemed
to be that the locals were handed rotten
deal in close decisions and besides they
lacked the punch to push over hits when
they would mean runs. There were errors,
of course, that aided materially in the
"Cows" scoring and there was some "bone-
headed" base running by the locals that
cut down their prospects of scoring. How
ever, the loss of the game can be directly
charged to bad decision in the first
round and Fos' wild throw to third in the
fourth round, that let in two runs, after
two hands were out, with poor batter up,
who had count of two strikes and two
balls and on the next one delivered he
famed the air for the third out.
1t seems, after careful study of the
game, that the fates had decreed that the
locals were doomed for a defeat and the
Hook'cm Cows were chosen to administer
it. By doing so it brought traces of
gloom on the horizon for some of the local
fans. Of course "fans are fans" for they
are distinct and separate species who be-
come such by the intensity and the ardor
of their desire to see the home team al
ways win. But we reporter, who always
tries to temper his fanaticism with cool
judgment, must say, that the home team
up to date has made an enviable record
Our "Stalwart Cap" says: "That any
team that can win one-half its games is
a good team" To this we subscribe our
humble opinion. To date we have won
nine games, tied one and lost four which
gives us percentage considerable more

p. is right. However, not in the sense he
thinks. We venture to speak for all con-
tributors by saying that thorough and in
telligent reading of magazines, periodi-
Gals, newspapers and library books are the
greatest "little old" educators in the
world; and that many an effort found in
the columns of THE MIRROR was inspired
therefrom, but not copied. Doesn't it sound
plausible? Try it old chap. You may

ANENT THE HEADING

Readers of this column are requested not
to take the strict literal meaning of the
words, Seldom said," in applying to what
is found under the unique caption of
"Cell-dom C(s) aid" The writer does not
assume or presume to offer any "choice"
literary gems, wisdom, philosophy or al
legged originality. Nor will we attempt to
convey the impression that we are very
much "high brow" because we GER
tainly are not.) On the contrary, we will
modestly try to furnish little entertain
ment both serious and amusing with the
paramount object of boosting THE MIRROR,
and, incidentally, try to merit the plaudits
of tolerant readers. To the fastidious
reader we would ask pardon for the oc-
casional use of slang and other defects.
Our sincere thanks, editor, for your
kindly mention in your column of "Mirror-
ettes." A little "pat on the back" now
and then is a wonderful incentive, and is
warmly appreciated. In turn, permit us
to tender our thanks to yourself and the
typographical force for the masterpiece of
the printers art that is turned out as "THR
MIRROR" each week. We have a compre-
hensive smattering of the craft and such
terms as "push, white space, margins,
FONTS" and even "type-lice;;" among num-
erous others, are familiar. A mighty good
job, we say!

ELIMINATING GRADE CROSSINGS.

The elimination OF grade crossings in Lake coun-
ty is necessarily SLOW work but looking back ten years
ago one will be surprised at the number of death traps
that have been abolished. Much credit is due the
county surveyor and the county commissioners for
putting roads over or under railroad crossings when
ever 1t was possible to do so.
1t will be a sorry mistake for the Lincoln Highway
Association to have a grade crossing on the ideal two
mile stretch between Dyer and Schererville. In his re-
port to the association on the proposed improvement
the county surveyor has pointed out that the grade
crossing can be avoided by a detour of less than a
thousand yards so as to cross the railroad on the nat
ural elevation provided by the ridge of land. The ad-
ditional expense VIII be very nominal.
How can an ideal stretch OF highway be ideal"
with a grade crossing at one END? 1t is obvious that
the grade crossing will seriously injure the advertis-
ing power Of the splendid pavement. The ideal stretch
OF highway Is to be a boulevard for show purposes
which will cause touring aldermen and commissioners
from Westbrook, Ohio, and Oklahoma City to exclaim,
''ah. this is tbs kind OF roads we must build at home.7
If the grade crosIing is permitted TO exist they are
more likely to say. Wow, that's a bad crossing and
their thoughts will be occupied with visions of dead
and dying to the exclusion Of the perfect pavement
and landscape.

No longer can the country regard complacently the
contracting of bills for which payment has not been pro-
vided in advance. save in exceptional cases of emer-
gency. Several decades ago 1t did not appear to make
much difference whether there were. or were not, such
deficiencies. for federal revenues almost always exceed
ed demands upon the treasury. We see now that it was
wrong not to insist upon the departments living within
their means-the means which congress assigned to
them after consideration of their estimates of require
ments for carrying on their business. A bad habit was
created. 1t is this which the budget system was design
ed to cure, the ultimate effect being to put every gov
eminent activity on a basis absolutely economical.
When the deficiency habit grew up the only en-
barrassment the treasury felt in consequence Of I'M
expected demands fer appropriations was the reduction
of its ability to retire the Civil war debt. Even that
was not serious, since the surplus annually was very
large. The present condition demands that the national
fnanciers cut the coat according to the cloth"
The difficulty today is to find revenues sufficient
to meet all demands without overburdening taxpayers.
Debt service must be nicely calculated and provided for
in the assessment CT taxes. A surplus in the old sense
is not imaginable. Consequently demands for de-
hciency appropriations are embarrassing. They = will
have to be eliminated. And President Harding means
fhat they shall be.

POTENT ASIA.

Although the Asiatic continent is teeming with
untouched resources. millions in Russia and China are
starving and Japan is poor. Crooked stick agriculture
keeps Asia from more than doubling the worlds pres
ent production of food stufs.
TILED by American farmers, Siberia alone could
feed the world. And that vast area stretching mora
than 1000 miles from the Pacific to the Urals has all
the trimmings of forest and minerals which combine
with good farming land to feed. house, clothe and
equip a wealthy nation.
Something big is in the making In Asia-as newt
ably something big must develop in such a country
and whether it is to make for prosperity or for peril
may depend in large part upon the decisions of pres
ent-day statesmen. An idea works wonders in Asia.
Commodore Perry made Japan open her eyes "a little
more than half a century later statesmen OF Japan
are In Washington counted In as Of the big Three
when affairs Of the Pacific are discussed.
European and American purposes and interests
need never cross those Of Asia. The plows and other
farming implements built in the United States will
replace the crooked stick farming of Asia. and Man
churia Will then be able to keep every Asiatic from
starving. Well fed n~eighbors are safer than hungry
ones.
The commerce of the Pacific may soon restore the
prosperity which was banished by the war in Europe,
an Asfatic war might reduce the world to barbarism.
There is nothing little about Asia and the Pacific, and
there is room In Asia for all the Japanese in which
to develop to the full.
