Hambros Defeat Belle in Well Played Contest, 5 to 1 Mantels for Union Pitched Great Hall, Allowing hut One Hit Deserved Shut-Out One of the best and fastest games ver played In Union was witnessed by a good sized crowd at the Union Ball Park last Sunday afternoon when the Hambros defeated Eelle by me score or 5 to l. Union scored its first run in the third. After Mantels had filed out (o center and Pfeiffer had pepped to third for an out. Weatherford was given a life at first on an error by Ousley. Horscfleld then doubled to right-conter. With second and third occupied, the well known Andy mck singled over short scoring Weatherford. On tho play Horse-field was cauht between third and home for the final out of the Inning. rnc Hamoros finished their scor ing in the fifth which again started after two. were down. Pfeiffer was given first through the virtue of an error by f Griffith, the midget, yet game, shortstop of Belle. Weather ford coaxed a walk and Horsefleld tilled the bases when he was hit by a pitched ball. Luckily for Union, Kick again was up at the critical time. Andy this time responded with a timely double through the pltcher'B box, scoring Pfeiffer and weatnerrord. r ick s maneuvers around second completely baffled the Belle boys and a wild throw let Horsefleld and Flck score. Holt was given a life at first through an error by the left field but was forced a minute later by Julius. Belle scored its lone run in the eighth. Dahms was safe at first when Weatherford and Horscfleld got tangled up around first. Ousley was hit by a pitched ball and Griffith walked, filling the bases. Man-tels tightened, and struck out Koe nig. F. Jasper rolled to Mantels who threw to Mintrup forcing Dahms at the plate. With two down and the bases full, H. Jasper knocked a hot roller to Horsefleld. After a nice pick-up and with a play open at every base, our "soldier boy" must have been thinking about the future while the runner from third scored the only run for Belle of the day. This is excusable, however, as Horse field figured In the scoring In both the third and fifth innings. Man tela closed the Inning by striking out Gehlert. From this it will be seen that both pitchers deserved a shut out in the regulation number of innings. Man tels, however pitched the better game, and deserves much praise, Belle got men on base in only three innings and outsldo of the eighth in ning when two men reached third not one got past second.

This is the same regiment In which Franz Beinke, a son of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Beinke is a volunteer. Franz belongs to the regiment as a musician.

This makes a good showing for Union, and if the United States as a whole were like Union, there would be no need of conscription in this country, no more than there is In Great Britain. We congratulate these young men on the spirit manifested and all deserve a like credit, whether they passed the physical test or not. To us, this whole business is a very serious business. We are sure that these young men will give a good account of themselves, no matter where their duty may call them. We also hope that all may return to their homes when all the trouble shall be over, and when peace shall again reign over this beloved country of ours.

Riechors, New Haven, and Pearl W, Stout, Tazewell Co., Ill, From Lonedell Editor Republican Headlight, Un- on, Mo., Dear Sir:- I am enclosing you a poem written on the occasion of the Irish Famine. Some of my ancestral relatives perished in that sad time. Anyway, I would like for you to publish. Miss Edward's poem. I am sure that many of your readers will like it. Yours truly, FRANKLIN W. EVINS. THE IOKM Give me three grains of corn, Mother; Only three grains of corn; It will keep the little life I have, Till the coming of the morn. I am dying of hunger and coldMother Dying of hunger and cold; And half the agony Of such a death, My Hps have never told. It has gnawed like a wolf, at my heart, Mother, i wolf that is fierce for blood All the live long day, and the night beside, Gnawing for lack of food. I dreamed of bread In my sleep, Mother, And the sight Was heaven to see I awoke with an eager, famishing Hp, But you had no bread for me. How could I look to you, Mother, How could 1 look to you; For bread to give your starving boy, When you are starving, too? For I read the famine In your cheek, And in your eye so wild. And I felt it in your bony hand. As you laid it on your child. The Queen has lands and gold, Mother The Queen has lands and gold; When you are forced to your empty breast, A skeleton babe to hold A babe that is dying of want. Mother, As I am dying now. With a ghastly look in Its sunken eye And famine upon Its brow. What has poor Ireland done, Mother, What has poor Ireland done That the world looks on, and sees us starve, 'Perishing one by one? Do the men of England care not, Mother; The great men and the high, For the Buffering sons of Erin's Isle, Whether they live or die? There is many a brave heart here, Mother, Dying of want and cold, While across the Channel, Mother, Are many that roll in gold; There are rich and proud men there, Mother, With wondrous wealth in view. And the bread they fling to their dogs tonight, Would give life to me and you. Come nearer to my side, Mother, Come nearer to my side, ' And hold me fondly, as you held My father when he died; Quick, for I cannot see you. Mother, My breath is almost gone; Mother! dear Mother; ere I die, Give me three grains of corn. MISS EDWARDS. NOTE This poem was quite fa miliar to the young of this country some thirty years ago. It was given, if we remember correctly, in what was called McGuffey's Speaker. Editor. Farm Club News The Oak Grove school had a splendid turnout at its meeting Monday night. Topics of interest were thoroughly discussed. A Live Stock Shippers Association was tho main topic, for discussion. Sand Hill district had an interest ing meeting despite the busy times, and the threatening weather. This district too Is going to cooperate with the adjoining districts and form a powerful organization to handle all the live stock of tho club mem bers surrounding Union in a more business like way. All those who shipped last week are well pleased with the results and arc enthusiastic boosters of the Live Stock Shippers Association. Jeffrleshurg and North Bend wore also to havo meeting this week; but we did not get the results of the meetings of these two districts. A Booster, Jewell McQuery The dear Savior sent an angel into our midst and took from us a dear one, Miss Jewell McQuery, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman McQuery, of Lonedell, at the age of 20 yearB, 4 months and 23 days. She had been falling for the past two years and was finally operated on at St. Johns Hospital for appendicitis from which she did not recover. The remains were brought to Moselle Wednesday for Interment at Oak Grove church, she having Join' ed this Oak Grove Baptist church about seven years ago. She leaves, besides liar mother and father, two brothers, Anvil and Claude, and three sisters, Edith, Mary and Mar tha. Jewell was a girl of clean habits of thought and action. Her charac ter was above reproach, In her home she was a loving, kind, thoughtful, patient and obedient girl, in school the same care and thoughtfulness marked her every action. . She was well beloved by all who knew her and her school mates and many friends acknowledge her death a great loss to them and the neigh borhood. Jewell was charitable at heart, not only as concerns the giv ing of material aid, but In the deeper and truer sense. She was always generous to a fault, willing to en courage the down hearted and give words ot comfort to the distressed She brought happiness and sunBhlne Into what ever home sne entered, She lived on the sunny side of life. The esteem with which she was held was demonstrated by the many expressions of sympathy offered the bereaved family. The remains were laid to rest In the Oak Grove cemetery In the pres ence of a large concourse ot sorrow ing relatives and friends, Fv. J. B Emmons officiating. Bankers of Franklin Organize County The Franklin County Bankers mot In Union on Thursday of last week for the purpose of affecting the Franklin County Bankers Association. For this purpose the following banks were represented: Bank of New Haven, Bank of Washington, Franklin County Bank, of Washington, First National Bank of Wnsli- ngton. Farmers & Merchants Bank of Pacific, Villa Ridge State Bank, Citizens Bank of Pacitlc, Pacific Bank, Bank of Gray Summit, Bank of Union, Citizens Bank of Union, Bank of Gerald. We believe that the other banks of the county would have been repre sented at this meeting but the roads in some instances were bad for ma chines, and other banks in the coun ty could not send a man to represent them Just at this time. The name of the association has been mentioned. A constitution and by laws . were adopted by which all banks of the county are eligible. The purpose of the association is to put forth as much of the community help spirit as possible and to help each other along the general lines of business. The banks fully realize thnt they are a part of the community in which they do business and as such are willing and have always stood ready to do their part In the general up building of the community. The association will hold two meeting a year and the secretary will notify all members of the time and place of meetings. Banks not represented at the meeting can become members upon application. The association elected the follow ing officers for the ensuing year: President, O. W. Arcularlus of Washington; Vice-President, W. D. Schnff- ner of Berger; Secretary, W. H. Kallmann of Washington; Treasurer, John J. Mauthe of Pacific. We wish the Bankers' Association of Franklin County, Missouri, success. -Evangelical Church News Rev. K.
