Perhaps General Peyton c. March really
earned . distinguished service cross in 1898
leading q charge in the Philippines. but even
80, after waiting SO long for It and passing
through the events Of the intervening period
1t would have been better IL he had denied him
self the privilege Of receiving it. Leading .
charge against motley gang Of half armed
jungle denizens doesn't loom up a. big now
Is it did prior TO 1914. Several million men.
not few Of them Americans, have shown
courage Of far higher order in the last six
years. Not all Of them have been or will be
rewarded by any special designation. Even
General March himself did vastly more as
chief of star during American participation in
the World war to earn recognition than any
possible service performed during the Phil
ippine uprising Giving him q medal now In
vites suspicion that he himself might have suE-
gested 1t and certainly it cheapens the honors
lately conferred upon those who unquestion-
ably earned all they got and more.

Faith.
From a biblical source comes the
charming Faith. which sprang into
popular usage during the vogue Of
Puritanical names. The prevalence
of appelatives which denoted alb
stract virtues marked the begin
ming of Puritanism in England and
many such names came under the
ban from other classes because OF
the widespread dislike of the
Round Heads"
But the simple beauty Of Faith,
as well as the divine virtue for
which the name was symbol, kept
her popularity undimmed. For was
she not one OF the trio whom st.
Paul recommended to the Corinth-

BASEBALL FOR CARLISLE
Uniforms Have Been Purchased and
 Other Steps Taken

The baseball bug has struck Car lisle and much interest is being aroused in this popular pastime for the coming season. Several of our progressive business firms have con- tributed uniforms and others have given literally toward buying balls, bats, mits and other needs of the team.
 4 meeting has been called for next Monday night, April 5th, (immedi- ately after the Chamber of Commerce meeting) when the team will organize and 1t is hoped that all who can will be present and encourage the boys in their efforts to give Carlisle a win hing team, as 1t will be a great ad- vertisement for the town and offers clean, wholesome sport for our people.
 There are several "old heads" in Carlisle and they have been working out with the high school baseball team where they will draft some valuable young talent at the close of school. Many who have seen our hopefuls in practice this spring declare that Car lisle has the best prospects for a win ming team that we have ever had.
 The boys will work out with the high school team on Wednesday and Friday afternoons of each week, be- ginning at 1 o'clock and all who can are urged to come out and show their talents.
 Following are the names of those who contributed uniforms: V. J. Robbins, Robertson-Myers Hdw. O., Carlisle Lumber Co.,, Gay Oil Com pany, Jno. D. Martin, Blass' Cafe, The Fair Store No. IT, Nichols & Hutson, Dairymens Bank, Sims & Stauber. E. L. Crandall and Marble & Downs.
