Babe Ruth (left) and George Sisler.
By Joe Williarns.)

The sizzling Mr.. Sisler came to the
Browns as a pitcher. but he proved
an adept at the gentle art OF
smuggling that Manager Branch Hickey
wisely transformed him into a regu-
lar so hat his batting strength would
be available to the club every day IN
stead of once a week.
The ruthless Mr.. Ruth came to the
Red Sox as a pitcher and for several
eason Mr.. Ruth acquitted himself
quite nobly upon the mound, IT you
must know. His submarine delivery
made him one of the most feared and
effective hurlers in the majors. His
grand average of games won and lost
exceed 900 by a. fiattering margin.
But Ruth|they call him Babe Tor
some utterly unfathomable reason
can do more thai pitch. Only three
men in the American league outbatted
him in 1917. In other words. next to
Cobb, Speaker and Sisler the Boston
pitcher was the best batter in the
league. When Eddie Barrow took
over the management of the club this
! spring he debated the question OF
compared with his driving ability as
a batter, and seeing that his team was
more generously endowed with curv-
ing skill than hitting strength he re-
solved to play Ruth regularly-or as
regularly as conditions would permit
What has been the result? Today
Ruth is leading the league in hitting
with a mark comfortably beyond the
~pretentious figure of 400. Besides
he's playing a gee-whiz Of a game ir

competently around the first baG

begins to look as if Ruth, like Sisler.
has Just naturally batted himself out
of the box.
incidentally we seriously doubt II
there are w more versatile players
in the game than these two reformed
pitchers. Besides being a pitcher of
class, Sisler is one of the best first
basemen in baseball. His playing in
the field has won almost as many
games for the Browne as his skill with
the bat. The Michigan collegian Is
also a capable outfelder, and can peg
to the home plate with the strength
and accuracy of a Speaker. Ruth has
shown that he cannot only pitch. but
play the inield and outfield as we'll.
OF course the manager who plays
a pitcher day in and day out runs the
risk of destroying that players art as
a boxman, because the strain on tho
muscles is quite different. But appar-
emily the manager is more than will
ing to run this risk if he thinks his
prospect will continue to smtte the
horsehide at a 800 gait. Which
presents another phase Of the much
mooted controversy a to. which is
more valuable to a club: a sluggtns
batter or a winning pitcher.

TRACK MEET
Devils Lake Comes Second
Two State Records are

Langdon. with a total of IS points
carried off first honors in the seven
tenth annual In~ter-Scholastic Track
Meet. the finals of which were held
Saturday afternoon on University

stretch made record time in the track
events impossible but considering the
weather conditions the track vents;
were run in very fast time. In the
field events, two records fell, Martin
of Hamilton setting a new mark of
10 feet II land one-half inches in the
pole vault, and Shelver of Devils Lake
breaking Hines record lin the High
Jump by one half inch. setting Il new
mark of S feet Z inches. Good marks
were set in all of the field events and
some records were nearly equalled.
The Meet throughout was a fine sue
cess, hot competition featuring each
event.
Shortly after the first event the
Meet settled down to a race between
the Devils Lake and Langdon teams
for first place. Up until the result
Of the broad jump the outcome was
uncertain, with one team maintaining
the advantage and then the other: In

also did fine work Saturday both on

send their money the harder it is to get any Of
back.
NOW WHY SHOULD 1T BE HARDER TO
HAUL A LOAD OF GRAIN TO MARKET IN A
MAIL ORDER COMMUNITY THAN IN THE
KIND OF COMMUNITY WHERE EVERYBODY
PULLS TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THAT
COMMUNITY?
Here is the answer. 1t costs whole lot of
money - hard earned money = to build and main
tain good roads
The people in each community pay for their own
roads. Through taxation. t''ov Al /, nov -, TIM
they are farmers, bankers or .e-onan.s
BUT THE MAN WHO RUNS A MAIL ORDER
HOUSE IN THE OTHER CITY DOES NOT HELP.
The property he buys and the goods he carries
II stock and the store warehouse he uses do not
pay cent toward keeping uo the local community
roads. Yet he gets * Of money out of those mail
order communities.
And so the taxable value Of the property in mail
order communities losing the business that belongs to
them, does not build up like it should. And SO there
is not enough money available for the upkeep of the
roads.
Bad roads cost the men who use them, lot of
money They are costing the men in the picture a
lot of time - and time is money.
The more business that your mommunty does,
the more money will be raised from taxes without
increasing the rate
That is selfish reason but mighty true and
good one, why you should deal with your home town
merchants.
Write and tell us what you think about it.
LOCAL MERCHANTS HELP BUILD ROADS,
Do you know that every dollars worth Of prop
erty in Martinsburg is taxed to build and maintain
roads in Berkeley county and that not dollar Of
the county road tax paid by Martinsburg property is
spent on the city streets?
Do you know that this amounts to several thou
sand dollars each year?
Do you know that it would amount to lot more
if lot more business done in Martinsburg?
Do you know that every time you spend dol
lar out of the county, you take money off from your
county road fund?
That's why mail order buying and buying in
other cities makes bad roads.
Do you know, too, that several times the bust
ness men of Martinsburg have gone together and
donated money to fund to be used in fixing up
of the county roads that in particularly bad
shape?

What The Picture Means

On this page, today, we are again publishing the
picture that was in Mondays Journal.
We asked you to study it carefully and see if
your version of what it meant corresponded to our
version which we give you here
We also asked you to write down what you
thought about the mail order buying habit and to
send it in to the Journal office You must sign your
name but we will not make your public
if we should what you write.
Even if you are in favor Of buying out of town,
tell about it and we will publish what you have to
say. In that way hope to be able to find out the
bait tn lese concerns use to get you and others
to Wor ainst your best interests.
Every dollar sent away from the community I'M
necessarily, makes it just much harder for those
who live here.
ONE LESSON FROM THE PICTURE
You will notice that these men are trying to
take load of farm produce to the local elevator.
They have spent last years wheat money, for
vii. i the local elevator paid them practically the
rice that it would bring in Baltimore after
paying freight, for wagon from big mail order
house.
AT least they thought it was big house because
it puts out big catalog.
The wagon was painted just as red as any they
could have bought at home Of course the bed was
not just exactly what they would have gotten from
the local wagon dealer but a wrong size wagon bed
is only small inconvenience.
They have used the wagon quite a. bit since last
fall and it is beginning to little hard because the
wheels did not fit just as they ought to- And the
wood was not seasoned well enough to stand the out
side use the wood in it would have suited better
for shelving something that could be kept out of
the weather.
At any rate, the wagon is still able to travel but
for some other reasons the going is hard.
From the words the wind mill beside the
house they are passing convinced that these
men live in a community where the people do not pull
together. We see that some Of them are just tumb
ling over themselves to send their money far away
from home as possible. IA
Maybe they forget that the further awaythey

Then began his busy day, for every minute was to be occupied until in the evening he will be the central figure in the war rally in, Woolsey hall under the direction of the naval unit and loan committee.
 As guest of both the city and Yale, Mir. Daniels strove for fair division of time. The breakfast over, he was taken by automobile by Rear Admiral Chester M. Colby, commandant, to the Adee boat house, where the naval unit had been mustered for inspec- ton.
 From the boat house the party made a flying trip to munition factories. At one factory Secretary Daniels made an open air address to the thousands of employees in behalf of the Liberty loan.
 At noon the secretary was to meet l the citys representatives at the cham ber of commerce luncheon and here he was to speak. The entire after noon will be given to Yale university and he will be dined at the Graduates club.

WILL CURTAIL INDUSTRY NOT
 VITAL TO WAR

Washington, April IS - Eventual curtailment in the production of all building material was indicated in orders of the fuel administration pub lished today, cutting the manufacture of 10 principal clay products from 15 to 50 per cent.
 The order, which will further re- strict the country's less essential in dutsries and will limit non-war build ing operations, provides for a re- arrangement and division of clay pro- ducts manufacture and puts the in dustry on war basis. The order also provides that parts of the plants af- fected will be converted for war in- dustries and the men, materials and transportation will be made available for war production. Clay products and other building materials, the fuel ad- ministration statement said, are a greater tax on transportation and fuel than any other commodities and reor- ganization of thei industry is deemed essential
 The action of the fuel administra- ton which was approved by the war industry board, is regarded as a fore runner of similar curtailment of virtually every industry not regarded as vital to the war.
Republican farmer., 1918-04-19

The selling price of anthracite for domestic consumption was talked over, and a tentative agreement re- garding the gross margin over the price at the mines, plus transportation and demurrage charges was reached.
 Administrator Russell said, however, that he would, not be able to an nounce the selling price for a few days owing to negotiations for the establishment of a clearing house whereby all coal billed for dealers will be at one price, and the estab- lishment of a pooling arrangement whereby delays in loading barges may be eliminated, and delivery by water speeded up. This will reduce the de- murrage for water shipments on the loading end.
 Russell said that large shipments of coal for Connecticut points would positively soon be on the way, and in short time dealers will be able to commence distribution to their GUS toners.

PLEADING GUILTY
 THREE ARE GIVEN LIFE SENTENCES

New Haven, April 1S-Pleading guilty to murder in the second de- gree on the ground that they were merely present at the time and did not take part in the killing of Frank Guarnieri, a trolley switchman. in West Haven last January, the mur- der trial of three Italians was sud- denly ended today. Each was given a life term by Judge Maltbie. They took the sentence calmly.
 Their names are vincenzo Codis- poto, Pasquale Lucca and Antonio Cohparenti, each having an alias. A fourth man turned states evidence and the police are searching for a fifth man who is said to have been the real murderer. The victim was known to have had with him $50, and the killing followed after one of the five men had picked quarrel with him.
