GRAVE POLITICAL CRISIS FACES PARTIES AS THEY TAKE
UPTASK OF BRINGING ABOUT RATIFICATION OF TREATY
ATHLETIC FIELD WILL
COMMUNITY SPIRIT

At last definite steps have been taken
To provide IA community athletic field for
Martinsburg and the journal will be glad
- support the movement in every way pos
sible
Several years ago when Rosemont Park
was leased and fenced for the MartinSburg
baseball Club. the men then active in the
work hoped that community owned ath-
lctic field would be the outcome. Unfortu-
nately, however, the public and the induSt-
ries of the community did not see the great
ultimate advantages that would come from
it aud so sufficient money was not sub
scribed = in fact, only half enough was
paid to pay for the fencing and grand
stand, the balance was carried by the back
crs of the bali team.
But now, we believe, Martinsburg people
all realize that provision must be made for
the physical development of the youth fof
the community through outdoor sports.
Last fall saw re-awakening in base ball
and the game was played by many boys in
The grade schools and high school. Hun
dreds would have played had there been
an athletic field available.
Our high school has been almost an out
slider in track athletics such as running,
jumping and hurdling through lack of
proper place for training.
Tennis, one of the best games III the
world for healthful, outdoor exercise for
men and women has been almost unknown
n Martinsburg because of lack=of place
for tennis courts.
There could never be Industrial leagues
Tor ball here, not because of lack Of inter
est and material, but solely because Of the
lack of an enclosed field in which to play.
There is much talk of Il base ball team
70 represent MartinSburg in the Blue Ridge
League this season. Not only are all the
base ball enthusiasts much interested but
80 are many who have no personal interest
in baseball. We have heard employers adj
NIT that something must be done to supply
recreation for the community and that
base ball would most likely be the thing.
We have heard mothers and ministers and
public men argue that the lack of clean
sport such as baseball has much to do with
the wave of crime among 50 many young
men
We are convinced that, in addition to all
the accepted benefits of real baseball, it

tended that the sheriff in filing his

ne would need $500 for five depu
les but failed 10 name them or
the salaries each would receive, He
did, however, make a detailed state,
ment Of his other expenses.

cept this statement, and prepared
one instead, which is as follows.

Grafton.

OLD SHAKESPEARE IS FOUND
Fraument of "Passionate Pilgrim" Be-
Iieved Earlier Than Any
Other Issue.

London-Sotheby's will sell at auc-
ton a volume which rivals in rarity
the tiny book which G.. D. Smith OF
New York bought for ELS, 100 from the
Britwell Court library last December.
That sold from the Britwell library
comprised Shakespeare's venus and
Adonis," fourth edition, 1899, Of which
only one copy is known; Shakespeare's
passionate Pilgrim" and "Sonnets,"
first edition, 1899, of which only one
other copy was then known, and "Hpi-
grammes and Elegies," by Sir john
Davis and Christopher Marlowe.
The contents Of the newly discov-
cred volume are Shakespeare's PAS
sionate Pilgrim" and "Sonnets," first
edition, 1899; Shakespeare's "Lu-
GREECE" third edition, 1900, Of which
only one other copy is known; Thomas
Middleton's "Ghost of Lucrece," 1900,
a unique and hitherto unknown work
'Emaricdulfe," by E. c., an author
never identified, 1895, and Shake
spreare's "venus and Adonis," fifth
edition, issued in 1899, the same year
as the fourth edition.
The passionate Pilgrim" and "Son-
nets is fragment containing a large
portion of the work. It's. twenty-seven
leaves out of thirty-four are moreover,
made up of two issues, one Of which
is the issue offered at the Britwell
Court sale, but the other issue from
which the piece is made up is one
hitherto unknown. 1t contains mis-
prints which in the Britwell Court ex-
ample are corrected. Consequently
the claim Of the latter to be the first
edition is, in the words of the cata-
logue of the new find, rendered doubt
full

Richard Francis Burton at his home,
Longner Hall, near Shrewsbury.

1t is also anticipated that the pro-

lump-sum payments, at the option OF
the insured on converted policies, (or-

3O-year endowment, and endowment

the number of conversions into the

More than 10000 applications for
the conversion of war risk policies In

received.
Former service men desiring to re-
instate war risk insurance which has

their insurance in cases where, 1t is
