This is the fastest girls’ ball clud that has ever visited this section, demonstrating their ability by win ning over seventy-five per cent of their games. The manager of the Girls bas used great care and judgment in organiz- ing a team composed of so many “stars,” having all the girls of proven abiilty that have ever played on any bloomer team, and for looks, UM! UM! Special mention is made of Miss Elizabeth Fargo and Miss Anna McCann, two of the greatest girl pitchers in the world today, and to see either one work on the mound Is well worth the price of admission. Lest you forget, we say it yet, Car- rie Nation will play the initial sack, in her own inimitable style. It would take too much time and space to say all the nice things adout each individual player, but we will add that each girl is a star in her re- spective position, so don’t miss this chance of seeing girls who can really play the game. The game will be_called at 7:30 p. m. sharp, on the local diamond, and the boys are surely going to play their best, as they don't want to be de- feated ‘by the “SUFFRAGETTES.” Don't forget the Time, the Place and the Girls. The day word by which Mi: EDITORIAL | By Rev. Charles Stelzle | ° FS | | GOD DOESN'T CONSULT “WHO'S WHO.” When God decided to destroy So- dom he told Abraham about it. We don't know how He did it, but Abra- ham knew about it before Lot did. And Abraham plead with God to save the city, for the sake of “fifty righteous men” who might be found there. And God promised. But Abra- ham couldn't find fifty rigiteous men, Then he himself reduced the num- ber to forty, then thirty, then twenty, then ten—but they couldn’t be found. And the city was destroyed—but not until Abraham—who was known as “the friend of God’—had been given the chance to save it on his own terms. There are men today who live so close to God that they can clearly read His will and plainly see the “signs of the times.” They are not often known to the public—for many of them are hum- ble toilers in shops and factories, or in their home. God does not reveal his will “to the wise and prudent’—He more often speaks to the simpler folks of earth. And these humble “friends of God” avail with Him when the prayers of the mighty never reach beyond their own lips. Meanwhile, most of us are eager to quote “big names”—we pass by the common people of earth because they aren’t authorities” in the religious world. But God doesn’t consult “Who's Who” when He desires to speak through men. He selects those whose names are written in the “Book of Life.” FRENCH STUDY GERMAN IN SELF - DEFENSE (N. E. A. Special to The Tribune) Bordeaux—France still teaches Ger- man in her schools and ~ universities. Naturally to Americans, whose schools have boycotted everything German, this may seem strange. Even the French people could not at first see why Ger- man should not be taken from the cur- ricula of their schools. Professor M. EF. Rochelle, teacher of German at the Lycee of Bordeaux, sa, “If it were only an affair of sentiment, my reply would be quickly made . . . But for the time in which we. live, modern language study is no longer a simple for the mind. It is an abs@ute France plans to. continue employing the German language not on- ly to successfully ward off future Ger- man designs upon her, but that she may also meet them in-the trade war which must come.
