HIGH AND LIFTED UP.

Two young men of Robson county
already have given their lives in the
great struggle for human liberty that
is being carried on in Europe. That
brings the war home to us and makes
us realize it's seriousness and near
ness as some of US had not been able
to realize it before. Other homes into
which The Robesonian goes may be
bereft. God knows. But these young
men have given their lives in a noble
and sacred cause, and we arc proud
of them. They have made the supreme
sacrifice beside which anything we
who are at home can do seems too
small to mention And these young
men who have fallen and their COM
rades who "carry on" are living life
times in day. Life is not measured
by length of days merely. Many who
live beyond the three-score and ten
years have never dreamed of the
heights and depths sounded by many
beardless youth who, with heart high
and lifted up, has proudly gone "over
the top" and poured out his life's blood
to make the world a descent place in
which to live. Better fifty years of
Europe than cycle of Cathay," wrote
the poet. A period Of intense life and
absorbing interest when time is swept
away and a moment is as thousand
years and a year as a moment is Bet
ter than fistful of the inare years
of those whose ''chief good and market
cf their time is but to sleep ard feed"
These men have lived longer than
most of us, no matter over how many
years the days of the years of our
lives stretch out. 1t is for all of us
to "highly resolve" that they shall not
have died in vain and that we shall
do our possible to help win the fight in
which they made the supreme sacri-
flee.

he really will be getting up an hour
hour more daylight. It will be a great
thing for fellows to whom getting up
early is a WEAKNESS of the flesh and
a vexation of spirit. But how abou.
the farmer who hired a laborer and
got up the next morning in the we
small hours and did a lot of work be-
fore day and when the new hired man
sifted in with the first streaks OF
dawn wanted to know where he had
been the hull mawning? That sort
Of fellow will have to get used to
sleeping an hour later by the cock
than he has been accustomed to sleep
ing and will know the luxury Of be-
ing a late riser by the clock, while
his town brother is learning the virtue
OF getting up an hour earlier. Great
thing. We're in favor of it. Hanged

Red Sox in the absence Of Dick Hob

Babe played errorless ball on the bag,
covered fully as much ground as Hob
litzel can cover ami batted for 800.
The next day Babe took his regular
turn in the box. pitched fair ball and
in five trips TO the plate made three
doubles, a single and a triple.
The question has arisen in Boston
whether Ruth should not be definitely
transferred to the initial sack so the
club can benefit from his batting in
large percentage o. games instead of
only the few he Is called into as
pitcher or pinch hitter.
The argument In favor Of this is that
Ruth, hitting every day, probably
would improve his batting and become
one Of the greatest swatsmen Of the
league.
The argument against II is that Ruth
Is capable OF winning from 20 to 30
games a season and the club cannot af-
ford TO take him from the box.
These two arguments are giving Man
