Boiler Gives Delightful Review of Dickens' Novel Before Men’s Forum. The Children’s Bureau ofe the United States Department of Labor has announced a children’s year, April 6, 1918, to April 6, 1919. The aim of this department is to save 100,000 babies this year. New Jer- sey’s quota being 2,511. Why should we at this time of multiplicity of duties take up this new task? Because of conditions revealed by the draft. In the draft one-third of the men were rejected because of defects in most cases directly traceable to neglect in in- fancy. One can immediately see the economic loss to the nation not only in times of war but also in times of peace, for in this work wre ar.e pre- paring for the future. While the youth of America is exhausting it- self in France today for the great cause of freedom, we, as American patriots, must see to it that we are conserving to the utmost the lives of the infants of America that they may grow up into useful men and women. In the countries under greatest stress at this time, England, France, Italy and Belguim, the governments are giving their close attention to this baby-saving campaign in 1917 by vigorous measures England re- duced the infant death rate to a point lowest in her history. Similar reports come from the war devasted countries, and it seemed that the United States could ill afford to hesitate.

Boi- ler, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Manasquan, spoke on “The Tale of Two Cities”, giving a review of Charles Dickens’ famous novel of that title and, in the opinion of many critics, the best of his books. The speaker described each of the characters, gave a general resume of the story and numerous readings from the book. Taken all in all, the review was delightfully given, the story ably analyzed and the criti- cism of the book a well-balanced one. Not only was a vote of thanks extended to Mr. Boiler but so pleas- ed were the members with his talk that elected him an honorary mem- member of the forum. Three new | members were elected.

It is a pathetic account of an aged French teacher’s last day in school and the one prior to that when the Germans took over Alsace following the Franco-German'war in 1870 and tells of his farewell and the message he leaves with his pupils who were to be instructed no more in French. There were two contests, the first consisted of a series of riddles ans- wered with the names of authors, and the second a number of pro- verbs, the members guessing the author of each. A talk on the Bermudas was given by Miss Githens, illustrated by about a hundred radiopticon views of the islands. Victrola selections w'ere played and the hostess served ice cream and cake.

Yaffee, Harry Zizinia, Margaret SOUNDS OF WAR Projectiles From Sandy Hook’s Big Guns Fall in Ocean Off Belmar Coast. Belmar has been listening to the sounds of war for several days and has been intensely interested in what she has seen and heard. Sandy Hook has been used as a testing point for big guns and the aim has been well in along the coast. It has [ been demonstrated that shots from '<! j these guns reach with accuracy and f? | precision a point at least twenty- 15 I two miles away from the firing I point. Becords of shots made by our j citizens show them as each time j;:i hitting within a very small radius !>!! about four miles straight out from Gordon’s pavilion, Belmar. The de- 5“; tonation of the g u n ’s firing, the whistle of the shot and the splash X of the water have been matters of &1 wonderment. The sound of the fir- SS i ing comes almost at the same time j the water splashes, indicating that f? the shot travels as fast as sound. £! Then the whistle of the shot follows X | so that the warning of the approach- ing shot does not come until the 55 i work is done. This may be the rea- if( son why the flying shot or streak of the shot is never seen, because one , only looks after the noise is heard. We are told that these guns are port- § able and have an even longer range 52 j w hen aimed at a different angle. X The splash of the water when the shot strikes is high in the air and it ! stands for an instant before falling, fs Apparently Sandy Hook could j? | soon demolish Belmar if she chose •;?. so to do.

COUNCIL VOTES $400 TO ADVER- TISE BELMAR Money Will Be Expended Under Direction Advertising Committee Board of Trade Belmar’s quota of the three billion Liberty Loan is $65,800. Figuring the drive as thirty days, we must subscribe more than .$2,000 each day, including Sundays. We are not as yet up to that average. We must “Come across or the kaiser will.” In neither the first nor the second loan did Belmar come any where near its quota. Are you going to allow Belmar to fall be- hind the third time? Once was bad enough, twice was a catas- trophe, three times W'ould be nothing less than a habit. Don’t ‘ let our town fall into such a habit as that. “Talk is cheap—war costs money. Patriots buy Bonds, others make excuses.” This is your war—see it through. Over a thousand cities and towns have already oversubscribed their quotas, many of them the first day or two of the drive. Cannot Belmar, too, be among those present? Can’t we break through this time? Can’t we, too, fly an honor flag? Every $50 Liberty Bond will buy one rifle and 400 rounds of ammunition or 16 gas masks. Every $100 Liberty Bond will buy two 6-inch shells or 189 Irand grenades. Every $500 Liberty Bond wll buy 98 pairs of shoes or 467 pairs of canvas leggings. Every $1,000 Liberty Bond will buy 2 machine guns or 150 woolen blankets. Every $5,000 Liberty Bond will buy one standardized five-ton truck. X Belmar council at its meeting # Tuesday night appropriated $400 Si j fo r advertising purposes. The X I money will be expended under the X direction of the Board of Trade. 3jc The clerk was instructed to send X , the- usual thirty-day notice to sev- eral property owners directing them ! to lay sidewalks and put in curb- ii i ings. These notices will apply to ft | the wrest side of A street, between 6 Ninth and Tenth avenues; B street §:! between Eighth and Ninth avenues, ! and C street, between Eigrth and £ ' Tenth avenues. Councilman Howland £ of the Highway committee was in- §: structed to inspect wralks on the =f=| southerly side of Eighth avenue, be- 321 tween C and D streets, which are = ij=i reported to be below grade. •£; Councilman Howland reported it that Eleventh avenue had been X graveled between C and F streets. I Ashes will be used as a foundation it : on a few streets in the outskirts of X j the borough, and the borough tearis $ | will collect the ashes jrom resi- 1 dences where they can be handily X loaded.

It will be placed in the holes on Ocean avenue washed out during the recent j storm. i?

X A renewal of' insurance police on the police station through the agency of Garrabrant and Conover was accepted. A rally in the interest of the third Liberty Loan campaign wTas held in the Public School auditor- ium last evening and every seat was filled. 'The meeting was under the auspices of the General committee and Georye W. Swain was chairman. Intense enthusiasm pre- vailed and Belmar people gave evi- dence of their loyalty and patriotism by deed as well as word, for $25,800 was subscribed at the close of the exercises. This amount swells the total to a good round sum. The com- mittee is averse to announcing the amount pledged to date, but it can positively be slated that Belmar wT ill exceed her quota of $65,800. The exercises opened with prayer by Rev. F. S. Berggren. The first speaker was Private Edward Col- lins of the 24th Canadian Expedi- tionary force. When he took the platform the audience arose as one and hands were clapped until he signaled for silence. Mr. Collins en- listed during the first year of the • war, and saw' service in Belgium and France. He was wounded while en- gaged in carrying messages from the trenches to headquarters. Mrs. L. C. Mallory was the next speaker. Mrs. Mallory has spent much time abroad and she told something of social conditions in Germany a"nd Russia, particularly among women. Hon. H. B. Boland, Federal bank representative forMonmouth countp, spoke on the bond issue. Patriotic songs were sung with a community chorus of, about forty voices leading. These singers were seated on the platform and the num- ber included ten marines from the Belmar U. S. Radio station. Miss Elva P. Van Note presided at the piano and Mr. Vola assisted with the drum. Members of Co. A, Belmar battalion, occupied seats at the front. The recently adopted Municipal flag, which has been fully described in past issues of this paper was pre- sented to Belmar Battalion by Mayor G. W. VanNote and accepted in be- half of the Battalion by Major W. B. Bamford. In presenting the colors, Mayor VanNote said: “On behalf of the Borough of Bel- mar, I commit to your keeping the colors of the Belmar Battalion, New Jersey Militia Reserve. The flag of the United States is a most sacred trust. Defend and uphold it with all your strength and power and never let it suffer dishonor. Be true to the glorious record of those other soldiers who have given their lives that the Stars and Stripes might live. Let the battalion color remind you that you are Jerseymen and citizens of Belmar, and by your deeds give it added strength so that (Continued on page 8.)

SOUNDS OF WAR

Projectiles From Sandy Hook’s Big Guns Fall in Ocean Off Belmar Coast.

Belmar has been listening to the sounds of w ar for several days and has been intensely interested in w hat she has seen and heard. Sandy Hook has been used as a testing point for big guns and the aim has been well in along the coast. It has

[ been dem onstrated that shots from '<! j these guns reach w ith accuracy and f? | precision a point at least twenty- 15 I two miles aw ay from the firing

I point. Becords of shots made by our j citizens show them as each time

j;:i hitting w ithin a very small radius !>!! about four miles straight out from

Gordon’s pavilion, Belmar. The de- 5“; tonation of the gun’s firing, the

whistle of the shot and the splash X of the w ater have been m atters of & 1 wonderment. The sound of the fir- SS i ing comes almost at the same time

j the w ater splashes, indicating that f? the shot travels as fast as sound. £ ! Then the w histle of the shot follows X | so that the w arning of the approach-

ing shot does not come until the 55 i work is done. This may be the rea- if( son w hy the flying shot or streak of

the shot is never seen, because one , only looks after the noise is heard. We are told that these guns are port-

§ able and have an even longer range 52 j when aimed at a different angle. X The splash of the w ater when the

shot strikes is high in the a ir and it ! stands for an instant before falling,

fs Apparently Sandy Hook could j? | soon demolish Belmar if she chose •;?. so to do.

BELMAR PEOPLE BACK ENTHU­SIASM WITH DEEDS

Big Audience Hears Speakers Talk in Interest of Bond Loan—Muni­cipal Flag Presented to Battalion.

COUNCIL VOTES $400 TO ADVER­TISE BELMAR

Money Will Be Expended Under Direction Advertising Committee Board of Trade

Belmar’s quota of the three billion Liberty Loan is $65,800. Figuring the drive as th irty days, we must subscribe more than .$2,000 each day, including Sundays. We are not as yet up to that average. We must “Come across or the kaiser w ill.”

In neither the first nor the second loan did Belmar come any w here near its quota. Are you going to allow Belmar to fall be­hind the th ird time? Once was bad enough, twice was a catas­trophe, three times W'ould be nothing less than a habit. Don’t ‘ let our town fall into such a habit as that. “Talk is cheap—w ar costs money. Patriots buy Bonds, others make excuses.”

This is your w ar—see it through. Over a thousand cities and towns have already oversubscribed their quotas, many of them the first day or two of the drive. Cannot Belmar, too, be among those present? Can’t we break through this time? Can’t we, too, fly an honor flag?

Every $50 Liberty Bond w ill buy one rifle and 400 rounds of ammunition or 16 gas masks.

Every $100 Liberty Bond w ill buy two 6-inch shells or 189 Irand grenades.

Every $500 L iberty Bond w ll buy 98 pairs of shoes or 467 pairs of canvas leggings.

Every $1,000 Liberty Bond w ill buy 2 machine guns or 150 woolen blankets.

Every $5,000 Liberty Bond w ill buy one standardized five-ton truck.

A rally in the interest of the th ird Liberty Loan campaign wTas held in the Public School auditor­ium last evening and every seat was filled. 'The meeting was under the auspices of the General committee and Georye W. Swain was chairman. Intense enthusiasm pre­vailed and Belmar people gave evi­dence of their loyalty and patriotism by deed as well as word, for $25,800 was subscribed at the close of the exercises. This amount swells the total to a good round sum. The com­mittee is averse to announcing the amount pledged to date, but it can positively be slated that Belmar wTill exceed her quota of $65,800.

The exercises opened w ith prayer by Rev. F. S. Berggren. The first speaker was Private Edw ard Col­lins of the 24th Canadian Expedi­tionary force. W hen he took the platform the audience arose as one and hands were clapped until he signaled for silence. Mr. Collins en­listed during the first year of the • war, and saw' service in Belgium and France. He was wounded while en­gaged in carrying messages from the trenches to headquarters.

Mrs. L. C. Mallory was the next speaker. Mrs. Mallory has spent much time abroad and she told something of social conditions in Germany a"nd Russia, particularly among women.

Hon. H. B. Boland, Federal bank representative forM onmouth countp, spoke on the bond issue.

Patriotic songs w ere sung w ith a community chorus of, about forty voices leading. These singers w ere seated on the platform and the num­ber included ten m arines from the Belmar U. S. Radio station. Miss Elva P. Van Note presided at the piano and Mr. Vola assisted w ith the drum. Members of Co. A, Belmar battalion, occupied seats at the front.

The recently adopted Municipal flag, which has been fully described in past issues of this paper was p re­sented to Belmar Battalion by MayorG. W. VanNote and accepted in be­half of the Battalion by Major W.B. Bamford.

In presenting the colors, Mayor VanNote said:

“On behalf of the Borough of Bel­mar, I commit to your keeping the colors of the Belmar Battalion, New Jersey Militia Reserve. The flag of the United States is a most sacred trust. Defend and uphold it w ith all your strength and pow er and never let it suffer dishonor. Be true to the glorious record of those other soldiers who have given their lives that the Stars and Stripes might live.

Let the battalion color rem ind you that you are Jerseym en and citizens of Belmar, and by your deeds give it added strength so that

BOND INVESTMENT SHOWS GRATITUDE

Philip P. Barton of Niagara Falls Power Company Tells Where

Our Duty Lies.i --------

The value of co-ordinated effort in prosecuting the war to a successful conclusion is pointed out by Philip P. Barton, vice president and general manager of the Niagara Falls Power Company, in a statement to the Lib­erty Loan Committee. Mr. Barton s a id :

“The problem of unemployment may soon disappear from this country. With the increased industrial activity and the decrease of men through their being drawn off into service, there are not enough men to go around. For us to whom has been assigned the duty of staying at home to keep the home fires burning does not this suggest a special sense of duty? Many of us are getting opportunities for work that we would not have got were it not for the fact that war has taken so many of our fellow s to the front. There are two w ays in which we as workers can express our gratitude for this in­creased opportunity; one is by exert­ing our fu llest abilities to make our­selves worthy of them, for thereby we keep the productivity of the country up to the highest pitch to insure the con­tinued national strength for winning the war. This means that the country can better equip, train and care for Its men at the front. But this is only half of our duty. The other half is to .put every cent we can into Liberty Bonds, because Liberty Bond money enables the Government to meet the expenses of giving the men at the front the best possible chance that a nation can give its warriors.”

B I S H O P T U T T L E ’S LO A N P L E A .

Though in his eighty-second year, Bishop Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, pre­siding head of the Episcopal Church in Missouri, is keenly alive to every American’s duty to his country. When he learned the great Liberty Loan drive w as to begin on April 6 Bishop Tuttle wrote in an autograph letter the fol­lowing virile m essage:

“Fellow Americans: All that we are in good w ill and strong nerve and all that we have of spare means should be at the service of our country, now that she is in a determined struggle for her own safety and for interna­tional rights and for freedom and jus­tice and fair play for all the world.

“It’s a time when, under the colors, and through Liberty Loans, and on the firing line, we should cry aloud with Shakespeare’s W olsey:

<> ‘L et all the ends thou alm’st at be thy country’s, thy God’s and truth's.’ ”

DAVISON HOUSEHOLD ALL BOND BUYERS

Wife of Red Cross Chairman As­sists Her Servants to Take

Every man or woman employed in the household of Henry P. Davison, the Red Cross War Council chairman, has a Liberty Bond. Mrs. Davison her­self, inasmuch as the home is her par­ticular domain, has purchased the bonds, and, adopting the system of the heads of many large business houses, she is letting her employees pay for their bonds in convenient instalments.

Probably no other American family is giving and doing more for the war than the Davison family. For almost

Brand Whitlock Tells of German Savagery in Dealing With

Red Cross Worker.

M R S . H E N R Y P. D A V IS O N .

a year Mr. Davison has given his en­tire time to the Red Cross work, drop­ping all his own private and business Interests. Mrs. Davison is chairman of the Nassau County Chapter of the Red Cross and treasurer of the War Work Council of the Young Women’s Christian Association.

Mrs. Davison said she knew of oth­er women who had purchased Liberty Bonds for their households and thought that many more women should try the system during the Third Lib­erty Loan.

“Owning a Liberty Bond makes the average person feel ' a little more American and gives him a keener in­terest in the war,” she said. “And if we women can take a small part in the business of developing the enthu­siasm of our households for our coun­try and the war we certainly must not let the opportunity slip by with­out doing our best. We may feel sure that our missionary work will bring results."

Brand Whitlock, American minister to Belgium, is now able to tell the things which he saw in that stricken land when German madness was at its height.

Mr. Whitlock has all the painstaking carefulness of the trained writer. He understates his case purposely, but the power of the accusation is in nowise diminished. Rather it is increased, for no one who reads his story can doubt the Impartial justice o f his accusation against the German nation.

“I have left out of this account much that was told,” says Mr. Whitlock in the April number of Everybody’s Mag­azine, “and have confined my state­ments to proved and admitted facts.”

Here is the account of the shooting of a p r iest:

“While they were waiting for the column to arrive the oberleutnant sud­denly remembered the two priests whom he had thrown Into the ditch. One of them was Father Dupicrrojix, a young ecclesiastic student. Tfie sol­diers, in searching him, found u pri­vate diary- He still had his Red Cross brassard, and this was violently torn from his arm, and the oberleutnant, gesticulating wildly and shouting in­sults, cried out in German :

“ ‘A Red C ross! A Red Cross ! We will give him a Red C ross!’

“And he ordered that a large cross be traced in red chalk on Father Du- pierreux’s back, and when it was done he sa id :

“ ‘His case is settled !’ (Son affaire est reg lee!)

“And so it wras. Two soldiers led Father Dupierreux forward. He was pale, but he was calm. He held a cru­cifix in his hands. An officer and a noncommissioned officer followed. A priest with a knowledge of German was called upon to translate from Fa­ther Dupierreux’s diary.

“ ‘If you omit or change the sense of a single word you will be shot, too,’ said the oberleutnant. The priest read a few lines referring to the burning of the University of Louvain and the li­brary as acts worthy of the Vandals, and then the oberleutnant stopped the reading.

“Father Dupierreux was ordered to step a few paces in advance, a firing squad was detailed, the priests were ordered .to fix their eyes upon the young priest as he stood there, crucifix in han d ; the order was given to fire, the volley flashed, and Father Dupier­reux fell to the ground dead.”

It Is to put an end to such outrages that the United States government has asked you to buy bonds of the Third Liberty Loan. Every bond bought shortens the career of the ferocious Hun.

Commissioner of Deeds Conveyancing Notary Public

Explain New Wheat Ruling to Thousands of Customers—In­sures Greater Food Saving.

Grocers of the nation have accepted enthusiastically the 50-50 basis for the purchase of wheat flour and are doing their utmost to explain the nevy regu­lation to the housewife. This ruling by the U. S. Food Administration requires each purchaser of wheat flour to buy one pound of cereal substitute, one kind or assorted, for every pound of wheat flour. It was necessary to re­strict the use of wheat flour in order that the allies and our fighting forces abroad might be assured of an ade­quate supply of wheat to meet their vital needs. This supply must come from our savings because we have al­ready sent our normal surplus.

Wheat saving pledge cards were for­warded by the Food Administration to all retail food merchants, and these are being signed and posted in stores throughout the country. This card states, “We pledge ourselves loyally to carry out the Food Administration pro­gram. In accordance with this order we will not sell any wheat flour except where the purchaser buys an equal weight of one or more of the following, a greater use of which in the home will save w h ea t:

“Cornmeal, corn flour, edible com starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, potato flour, sw eet potato flour, soy bean flour, feterita flour and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour.”

Some confusion has resulted on the part of the consumer in construing this “50-50” ruling to mean that an equal amount in value of substitutes must be purchased with >vheat flour. This Is a mistaken idea. The ruling states that the consumer in purchasing flour shall “buy at the same time an equal weight of other cereals.”

One exception to this ruling is con­cerning graham flour and whole wheat flour, which may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat flour. This provision is made because approximately 25 per cen t more of the wheat berry is used in the manufacture of these flours than stand­ard wheat flour.

Another exception Is that concern­ing mixed flours containing less than 50 per cent, of wheat flour, which may be sold without substitutes. Retailers, however, are forbidden to sell mixed flours containing more than 50 per cent, o f wheat flour to any person un­less the amount of wheat flour substi­tutes sold is sufficient to make the to­tal amount of substitutes, including those mixed in flours, equal to the to­tal amount In wheat flour in the mixed flour. For instance. If any mixed flour Is purchased containing GO per cen t wheat flour and 40 per cen t substi­tutes it is necessary that an additional 20 per cen t of substitutes be pur­chased. This brings it to the basis of one pound of substitutes for each pound of wheat flour.

A special exemption may be granted upon application in the case of special­ly prepared infants’ and invalids’ food containing flour where the necessity Is shown.

Some misunderstanding seems to ex­ist on the part of consumers in assum­ing that with the purchase of wheat flour one must confine the additional 50 per cen t purchase to one of the substitutes. This is not the case. One may select from the entire range of substitutes a sufficient amount of each to bring the total weight of all substi­tutes equal to the weight of the wheat flour purchased. For instance, if a purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour is made a range of substitutes may be selected as fo llo w s:

Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn grits, 4 pounds ; rice, 4 pounds ; buckw heat 2 pounds; corn starch, 1 pound; hominy, 2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds.

These substitutes may be used in the following manner:

Cornmeal, 8 Pounds.—Corn bread, no flour; corn muffins or spoon bread, one-fourth flour or one-third rice or one-third hom iny; 20 per c en t substi­tutes in whole bread.

Corn Starch, 1 Pound.—Thickening gravy, making custard, one-third sub­stitute in cake.

Corn Grits, 4 Pounds.—Fried like mush, used with meal in making corn bread.

Rolled Oats, 3 Pounds.— One-fourth to one-third substitutes in bread, one- half substitute in muffins; breakfast porridge, use fr e e ly ; oatmeal cookies, oatmeal soup.

Buckwheat Flour, 2 Pounds.—One- fourth substitute in bread, buckwheat cakes.

Hominy, 2 Pounds.—Boiled for din­ner, baked for dinner, with cheese sauce.

Rice, 4 Pounds.— One-fourth substi­tute in wheat bread, one-thlfd substi­tute in corn bread, boiled for dinner (a bread cut), as a breakfast food, to thicken soups, rice pudding instead of cake or pie, rice batter cakes.

Several grocers have stated that their customers who strictly observe the 11 w heatless meals each week find It necessary to buy substitutes in ad­dition to those ordered under the 50- 50 plan.

We have a decided BARGAIN in a furnished house

near the Ocean that is always a good Renter.

8?ie Would Have All the People Get Together on That One Idea—

“Not an Afternoon Tea We're In.”

By JULIA M. LIPPMAN oi The Vigi- i lantes.

B ig Sam Slawson halted on his own side porch to stamp the snow off his boots before letting him self into the kitchen.

A hand from within turned the knob of the door. A voice from within ad­dressed him through the narrow open­ing.; “Come along in, Sam. H urry! I’ll clear up your tracks, but don’t stand there preparin’ any longer. You’ll give us all our deaths. Besides, I can’t w ait to hear if they’re speedin’ up the war like they’d ought to. We got to get in right off or it’ll be too late.”' Very deliberately Sam shook the w hite drifts from his shoulders and hat-brim, crossed the threshold and closed the door after him.

“You can’t do things so quick as you seem to think, Martha,” he observed in his slow, cautious fashion.

“Why can’t you?”“B ecause this is a democracy. De­

mocracies move slowly.”“They needn’t if all the people get to­

gether on the one idea of winning this war. It don’t make any difference to me whether it’s a democracy or a re­public or a socialism, or a prohibi­tion, or one of them new-fangled Rus­sian samovar-things they talk so much about nowadays—chammy-flage—no,bolshiviki, that’s it. It all comes right down to this, so far as I can see: U nless w e stop fussing aboutnames, forget w hat party w e belong to, w e’re going to lose out on this W r . And you’ve got a boy ‘over there’, and a fam ’ly over here and— you’re an American, Sam Slawson, and it ’s up to you—it’s up to us—U. S.— not to lose out on this war.”

“How are we going to prevent it?”“By getting together, that’s how.

Every mother’s son and daughter of us pulling together the one w ay—a long pull and a strong pull and a pull all together. The sort of pull that’ll land our troops on the other side a million- strong before the Germans can get in their fine work this spring. The trou­ble is that up to th is there’s been too many ladies and gen’lmen talkin’ their heads off about pacifism and red tape and any old thing that happens to be their pet Idea—as if the thing w e’re In was an afternoon tea. Forget lt, that’s my notion ! Forget it 1 There’s only one thing to remember these days: IF WE DON’T WIN, THEBOCHES WILL.”

Sam sighed.“Well, it certainly ’s a problem.”

• “If the curiosities at Washington haven’t got the right answer to the .problem by this tim e why, all I got to say Is, invite ’em to step down and out and give a new bunch a chance. I t m ight annoy ’em. We can’t help that. The Boches are annoyin’ us. And they mean to keep right on an­noyin’ us unless w e do something and do lt quick.”

“I hate w ar!” lamented Sam.“Sure you do. So do I. So does

everybody. I hate having my boy shot at. I hate having girls and little chil­dren ruined and maimed. I hate hav­in g old women and men starved and froze and burned. That’s why I want us to get a move on—because I hate lt.”

S an /s eyes were misty.“Oh, M artha! I wish I could see the

end of it. W e’re in a terribly tight place ju st now. W e’re up a tr e e ! I te ll you, w e’re up a tree !”• Martha threw him a heartening glance.

“Up a tree? Sure w e’re up a tree. So w as that little fella In the Bible. W hat’s-his-name? Zaccheus? Zacche- us w as up a tree, to. And that’s where he saw’ the Lord from.”

City Boy Hears Better.Our recruiting officers have made an

interesting discovery in gaging the relative fitness of city and country boys for service in the army and navy, according to the Popular Science Monthly for February. City boys have better ears.

From the Washington records of the Marine corps come the assertion that only one boy In five among those re­cruited In quiet neighborhoods has the acuteness of hearing possessed by the average dweller In a noisy town. The rejections on the ground of defective hearing were in the ratio of five to one In favor of “city ears.”

The surgeons and scientists assume that the quiet of country districts tends to weaken, through disuse, the nerves in the ear, w hile the constant clamor of the city, really keeps the aural nerves responsive.

Valuable New Cement.A Vienna metal cement or solder,

supplied commercially in sm all cylin­ders, is described as a copper amalgam, amount of mercurous nitrate and w a­ter, a mixture of seven parts o f mer­cury w ith three parts of powdery cop­per precipitated from sulphate solu­tion by zinc. When applied, the amal­gam and the metal parts to be united are heated to 180 or 190 degrees F. Aside from its use as a cement, the amalgam Is stated to be an easily work­ed composition for various uses, as It can be hammered, rolled, shaped under a die, or softened in boiling water suf­ficiently for making casts, and it takes a good polish.

Desire of Caucasian Princess Was forIndependence Without Blemishes

of industrialism.

I met a Caucasian princess here in Petrograd, Ernest Poole writes in the Saturday Evening Post. She sat next to me one day in the small press- gal­lery of the hall in which the duma used to meet. Now in Its place was the council. The woman by my side, I learned, was here as a correspond­ent for a social revolutionist paper down in the Caucasus.

I had been in the Caucasus years before, and vve spoke of the old town where she had been born, high up in the heart of the mountains. The Rus-

| sians call the women there “the dia­monds of Russia,” and this woman was one of these. I was curious to learn what had drawn her to a scene like this, so many thousand miles from home. She explained that her husband had been killed in the first year of the war and that after that she had thrown herself into war activ­ities.

“We don’t want to desert the Rus­sian cause. We are all in favor of pushing the war through to the end,” she told me. “And at the same time we are doing our part In the work of the revolution. The president of the council here, and half the other lead­ers, too, are Caucasians. We are do­ing our share. But at the same time we want to be free from too much rule Ly Petrograd.”

“What do you mean by autonomy? How free do you want to be?” I asked.

“Tell me about your United States. You have states, and a nation, too,” she said.

I tried to explain the relations be­tween our states and the federal gov­ernment.

"We wish more than that,” she said; “we want more Independence.”

I replied that in America we were moving just the other way—toward more centralized government—and I tried to explain how the growth of railroads, factories, mills and huge interstate corporations w as forcing us to grant more and more control to the men in Washington.

“But,” she rejoined, “we don’t want an ugly land of mills. We want our Russia to stay as it Is—I mean with its beautiful fields and its forests, Its rivers and its mountains. You have seen the Caucasus and I know you will feel what I mean.”

Among the War Sacrifices.There are many varieties of human

beings in New York city, mostly be­yond the draft age, who, If Uncle Sam had to depend upon them for assist­ance, would never have to take an obesity cure. They all, however, be­lieve them selves patriotic because they are stinting on their hobbies. For in­stance, there is the pallid young man with the chicken breast, whd is doing his bit by cutting down his smoking to ten packs of cigarettes a day. He can’t wear khaki because they can’t make a uniform small enough to fit him. Then there is the stanch patriot who gives everything—his good will and moral support. He has a padlock on every pocket and he helps the Red Cross and other charities by bestow­ing an encouraging smile on the so­licitors. He is tighter than a clam with lockjaw. The last, but not the least, Is the fickle young girl who just can’t knit and who can’t bear to look at Red Cross and recruiting posters because they remind her of the strug­gle on the other side. “Goodness, a girl must have some pleasure these times,” she says. To forget the war she cabarets every night with the chicken-breasted young man who aids the cause of democracy by conserving on cigarettes.

Sparrow Pies.Jacob Rlls describes in one of his

delightful essays how the good old housekeeper in his Danish home used to climb to the eaves to rob the spar­rows’ nests for a delectable pie. Now Mr. James Hunt of Philadelphia, who is crusading against the English spar­row, advocates the pie as the true des­tiny of the sparrow. He furnished the sparrows for such a pie opened in Washington recently at a luncheon served by the Philadelphia Public Led­ger.

The guests declared that the pie was good, and the flavor of the sparrow was superior to chicken and equal to partridge. Washington boys found this out long ago in their secret sparrow roasts, where dozens of these tidbits were spitted on wires before the blaze and devoured by these food pirates.

Cleaning a sparrow is a simple mat­ter of cutting the breast away from ail other parts and skinning. Special traps are used for catching sparrows. These are set near favorite rookeries and dozens of sparrows are caught at a time.

Royal Regalia Now in Museum.Hawaii’s famous royal standards and

robes of feathers made probably their last appearance In a public ceremony at the recent burial of ex-Queen LlliuokalanI in Honolulu. The feather relics, regarded by the natives as sa­cred, are kept in the Bishop museum, founded in memory of Mrs. Charles R. Bishop, who was the Princess Bernice Pauahi, last In direct line of the de­scendants of Kamehameha, a king whose name his people pronounced with accent on the second “meh.” The most valuable of the feather pieces Is, of course, the royal robe of Kameha­meha the Great, for which the gath­ering of the feathers alone is said to have taken 100 years and to have cost $1,000,000. This mantle was last worn by Kamehameha H and later, on state oc«Mioas, w«u placcd over the throne.

BUYING BONDS IS SELF PROTECTION

N e w a r k Banker S a y s Lib e rty L o a n s Keep Nameless Horrors

F r o m Our Homes.

A terse summary of the many reasons for the purchase of Liber­ty Bonds by all Americans Is given In a statement made to the Liberty Loan Committee by Uzal H. Mc­Carter, president of Fidelity Trust Company, Newark, N. J. Mr. Mc­Carter sa id :“Whether it be on the grounds of

patriotism, sound investment, love of country, resentment against Teutonic atrociousness, support of our govern­ment, loyalty to the men at the front, sympathy for our war-ridden and sadly stricken allies or an abiding sense of manly and womanly duty, the purchase of Liberty Bonds at this time is a sol­emn obligation. It is, moreover, if viewed from a purely selfish stand­point, a matter of self protection.

“That Is not a mere hallucination. It is a dreadful fact. Our fortunes, our lives and our sacred honor are at stake. Once let our allies weaken, once let the United States government drop its protecting arm, and the un­speakable Hun, red-handed and bloody- heeled, w ill be at our throats, perpe­trating here, as he did in brave France, In stout-hearted England and murder­ed Belgium, the nameless horrors Of endless nights, the merciless attacks on trembling women aud innocent chil­dren and the slaughter of courageous men.

“It Is because these things are pos­sible, even if the war Is at present three thousand miles away, that, aside from patriotism or any question of In­vestment, the element of self protec­tion looms big, and because of that one fact, to say nothing of anything else, every man, woman and child in the United States of America should buy Liberty Bonds and buy them until the buying of them hurts. That is our duty. It ought also to be our pleasure and our pride.

“To conduct its part in the war the government must have money, and to get this money to clothe and equip and feed our men at the front it must sell Liberty Bonds. Once, and for all, let lt be understood that we are at war.Let lt be understood that for all thatwe hold dear we must win—that we cannot win without money and that we cannot have this money if the great American public, forgetful of its own interest, fails to buy Liberty Bonds. We are at war. There is no way outbut through. It is your duty to buyLiberty Bonds and see it through— your duty as a patriot, as a w ise in­vestor, as a lover of liberty and as captain of your own soul.”

The Latest Kiss.There’s a new kis in town. W e’ve

had the tango, the “Merry Widow” and the “Waltz K iss,” every one of them a marathon of the osculation tribe. But the new est one is called the “Puff, Puff” kiss. It Js the latest home-wrecking novelty along the main street, and now that it has been proper­ly presented there is no doubt it w ill quickly become popular, at least in the cabarets. “Blow smoke Into my mouth, Jim,” teased the parlor “worm” in the latest of Broadway’s comedies called “The Indestructible W ife.” “Jim,” who happens to be the new hus­band in the play, and somewhat of a “lounge lizard,” complied, whereupon the parlor worm announced: “I feel so naughty this afternoon.” So Jim gave another demonstration of the “puff, puff” kiss for the benefit of the blase first-nighters who took it with them. And now the merry, merry girls in cafes and other places having taken it up, it is quite the proper thing to blow smoke at them.—New York Times.

When Surgeon W ashes His Hands.Dr. R. R. Von Baracz, the eminent

Austrian surgeon, recommends in the Wiener Medizinische W ochenschrift the following method of washing the hands for surgeons before performing operations or handling wounds. He says he learned it from Doctor Weir of New York:

A handful of chloride of lime Is placed on one plate and some crystals of ordinary soda on another. After carefully cleaning the hands with soap and brush, a soupspoonful of chloride of lime and a crystal of soda are taken in the hands and crushed together with a little water. This forms a paste on the hands and requires three or four minutes. The hands are then rinsed in sterile water. The odor of the chlor­ine that is released can be removed by ammonia water, 1 to 5 per cen t

EDITORIAL IA NATION OF BONDHOLDERS.

America promises shortly to become virtually a nation of self-made bond­holders such as the world has never seen. Prior to the First Liberty Loan there were some 2 ,000,000 bondholders In the United States. At the conclu­sion of the Second Liberty Loan the number had jumped to 12,000,000. Be­fore these Liberty Loans are finished there w ill be nearer 50,000,000.

They will be of a new stripe— mod­est, unassuming and self-respecting. The products of a new era of thrift. An economic army to which the nation may point with pride.

Gradually the people of America are forming the saving h a b it; one which more than any other they most need to acquire. One with which for the most part they have never been blessea. One that w ill pave the way ultimately to wider undertakings and greater achievements. One that leads to independence.

No American home is complete with­out a Liberty Bond.

Removing Blight of Islam.The blight of Islam which has sealed

Jerusalem for centuries, which has re­duced Mesopotamia to a desert, Syria to desolation, promises to be lifted at last over all that region that was the cradle of civilization and the first gar­den of the world. “The crescent of fertility” stretches from old Judea and Philistine along the Mediterranean lit­toral curving eastward to the upper Euphrates and Tigris and then contin­uing southward to the Persian gulf. The zone between the sea and the des­ert, and again between the mountain and the desert, w ill be redeemed as Egypt has in our own day been re­deemed, provided the Turk be forced back northward and westward behind the Taurus and the Anti-Taurus bar­rier.

OUR PLAIN DUTY

Belmar is responding nobly to the Government’s appeal for funds to carry on the w ar—a w ar w hich has for its object the freedom and se­curity of the people of the great and small and helpless nations. Our people are giving evidence of their patriotism through the purchase of Liberty Loan bonds and the fact that the total sum subscribed here up to the present time is made up largely of small sums, $50 and $100, shows that there is a desire among those whose incomes are small to do their mite. There are those who are really making sacrifices to buy the bonds. It shows, too, that Americans in all walks of life are coming more and more fully to realize that this is a w-ar of the peo­ple against aggression, against rape, m urder and arson. That it is a w ar being waged for the purpose of p re ­venting the barbarous Hun from setting foot upon our shores and trodding us under the weight of the heel of m ilitary forces.

If wTe are to attain a successful term ination of the w ar this nation m ust have men and women on the battlefields in France who are w ill­ing to sacrifice their lives, and it must have men and women here at home who are willing to work and lend—not sacrifice—their money. W hat a pitiful comparison. The young men of the nation bare their bodies to the shots and bayonets of the enemy we, safe in our homes, lend a pittance of our w ealth that our soldiers may have ammunition, guns, clothing, food and equipment to protect themselves as much as they may, that they may fully p ro ­tect us. Away w ith comparisons. There are none. There can be none.

Each and every one of us can do something to help the boys at the front. Perhaps some of us cannot lend any money. All right, if that Is absolutely true, let us do some­thing else. There are countless ways in w hich we can assist and one does not have to go far or think very hard to find that way.

The people of Belmar are asked to buy as m any bonds as it is possible for them to buy. The terms of pay­ment aVe easy. The borough has its own committee in charge of the campaign, the chairm an of the gen­eral committee being Mayor George W. VanNote, and the chairm an of the W oman’s committee of the "Woman’s Defense league is Mrs. A. W. Moyer.

Judgments are not like geometrical formulas, presenting a solid conclu­sion.

But they awaken action and purpose and in consequence society lacks so much the texture of common sense and real purpose. It rides on fancy to some unseen port.

Sailor’s Brave Act Commended.Chief Boatswain’s Mate John O.

Strickland of the United States steamship Annapolis has been com­mended by the navy department for bravery in going to the assistance of a ship In distress. During a heavy gale the steamer Paddleford had gone aground. * Her condition was most hazardous when she was sighted by the Annapolis. Although the surf was extremely dangerous, Strickland with two of the ship’s officers and members of the crew undertook the work of carrying a life line to the wrecked vessel. By this action more than two- thirds of the crew were saved. Strick­land enlisted in the navy in 1908 atEl Paso, Tex._____________

NEW MOVING PICTURE HOUSE

The property of P rio r andFaucett, Ocean and Eighth avenues has pass­ed into the hands of Hildinger, Pa­p ier and Bishop of Trenton. This is the site of the merry-go-round, and will be alternated into a hand­some moving picture theatre w ith 800 seats. The Hildinger Co. is well known in Trenton w here they have a chain of twenty-eight theatres, and are in a position to present the very finest of films for the amusement of the picture lovers of Be'lmar.

A new type of orchestral organ h a s been purchased at a price of $7,500 and an expert player has been engaged to give the very finest music.

A gold fibre screen w ill be install­ed and the floors will be raised in such m anner that all who enter the theatre will have a clear view" of the pictures.

The ventilaton has been carefully considered and numberless windows w ill be arranged so the air w ill be just as clear as if it wras open air.

Negotiations have been entered in­to for all the big makes of pictures, including, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle comedies, Douglas Fairbank comedy dramas and practically every good make of pictures on the market.

The house is expected to open on Decoration day and a daily matinee w ill be a feature of the house.

Fred B. Parker, ex-county Clerk of Mercer County, has a contract for the alternations, and it w ill be ru sh ­ed to completion in order that the theatre w ill be ready for occupancy on May 30th.

The following is an excerpt from a letter of an American Red Cross can­teen worker in France, describing the work of the canteen women and the experiences which enliven the daily routine of their liv e s : '

“We meet the trains at the station— they have only a short stop—with great boilers full of hot coffee, and on these cold winter nights you don’t know how grateful the Poilus hold out their battered tin cups to have them Ulled.

“The canteen itself is very pleasant, with brightly colored walls, a beauti­ful painting by a former judge of the Salon, who has a country home near by, a son who is a prisoner iu Germany and a charming daughter who is one of the helpers at the canteen. He has donated a large seascape and wants the Red Cross to take it back to Amer­ica after the war.

Good Food Served.“Then we have a phouo^rnpli which

. an endless source ol pleasure to the men, and soon when our new recrea­tion room is in order we shall hire a piano. We serve good food at a much lower price than they can get at the railroad restaurants, and, as tlie Poilus receive 5 cents a day, it means a lot to them.

“The bread ration is very strict at present, and it is hard to have to re­fuse more than one sou of bread to each man when he looks up in a hun­gry fashion and sa y s : ‘But how can 1 eat this cheese without a little more bread?’ The one expression that seems to cover everything over here is e’est la guerre, but sometimes you see it brings very little comfort.

“The suffering in the world comes home so to one here. Why, just the other night when I was on duty at the canteen, which Is at the station, a poor soldier had both legs run over and torn off by a^Jrain. We tried to do what we could to help the doctor who just happened to be changing trains. Our Ited Cross car took the man off to a hospital. ‘ I shall never forget how, while 1 was holding his hand trying to” comfort him, he repeat­ed over and over, ‘Mes trois pauvres enfants!’ (my three poor children).”

Portable Houses Shipped to Any Part of France on a Few Hours'

Notice.H O R S E M E A T IN N E W Y O R K

The American Red Cross in France has established a record for home building. A call came to Paris from “somewhere in France” for three bar­racks. The Red Cross was told that it would take the workmen at least five days to erect one building. With­in that time the Red Cross workers had all three buildings up and ready for occupancy. They employed just 23 men on the job.

Red Cross officials determined some time ago to place “in stock" a number of portable or demountable barracks for immediate use wherever they might be desired.

It was discovered that a Sw iss man­ufacturer had on hand 43 buildings that were not needed by the Italian army, for which they had been con­structed.

The Red Cross immediately con­tracted for the entire number, obtain­ed them and now can ship a home for 40 people to any part of France on a few hours' notice and erect it in less than two days. It has even supplied the United States army with ten of these buildings for immediate use.

The buildings are unique in con­struction. Each weighs about five tons and can be easily shipped in one freight car. Unlike many demountable or “knock-down” buildings, these are absolutely rain and weather proof, thus assuring adequate protection in unseasonable weather to refugees, hos­pital patients, etc.

Although There Is Much Opposition to Its Use as Human Food, the

Demand Increases.

It Is now nearly two years since the board of health lifted the ban on the sale of horse meat in the effort to re­duce the cost of living, observes the Brooklyn Eagle. The introduction of the food has been slow, but five shops, two of them in Brooklyn, are now re­ported to be advertising horse meat for sale.

The demand for this cheap meat has been increased by the wartime food prices and some of the butchers in Manhattan who compete with the horse meat stores are issuing circulars de­nouncing the new food and stirring up prejudice against lt. Whether as a re­sult of the circulars is not clear, but one of these horse-meat stores on First avenue, Manhattan, has been attacked, its window having been smashed in on two successive nights.

Neither the circulars nor the attacks are likely to interfere with the spread of the demand for tlie new food. The manager of the company which is intro­ducing It says that crowds are drawn when he opens a new store and that in one case he had to call on the police to

AMERICANS TO BE NO DRAGON ITALIAN GOVERNMENT.

In order that the personnel of the Red Cross and the American ambu­lance drivers and rolling canteen workers shall not be a drag upon Italy or the Italians the War Council has appropriated the sum of $168,300 for the purchase in this country of six months’ supply of gasoline and army rations for 500 men per month for a period of six months. These supplies will be shipped abroad.

This sum of money was set aside Cor this purpose on the recommenda- tion of Major Perkins, A. R. C. com­missioner to Italy, who advised that the American Red Cross should not accept or buy any food or gasoline from the Italian government for its service In Italy.

PORTO RICAN SCHOOLS HELP.

Children in jthe Porto Rican public schools are giving a practical' demon­stration of their patriotism. They are not only making Red Cross pajamas for hospital u s e ; but in their cooking classes they are learning'how to sub-

| stitute gondulas, frijoles and garbanos for m ea l; cocoanut and cacao for fa ts;

j and platanos, batatos and amarillos for wheat bread.

Keep order among his would-be cus- j tomers. In cases of food scarcity horse f 3C meat has been eaten in many countries. -»= The great prosperity of the United j 3S States has kept it out of our markets heretofore, but the wartime scarcity and high prices are likely to establish it a s a regular part of the diet of peo­ple who can’t afford to pay for beef. The objections to It are sentimental and not hygienic, so that, a s a relief J 3£ from high prices. Its u s e Is to b« wel- § comed. !«!

Announcement

i

To Reopen Algerian Oil Fields.The negotiations between the

French government and an important group of Interests in Paris and Lon­don for a concession to exploit the pos­sibilities of the abandoned Algerian oil fields are still proceeding. A contract has been signed by the firm and the governor general of Algeria, and now aw aits ratification by the French gov­ernment. An interesting feature of this pending Anglo-French concern in Algeria is the fact that French direc­tors and capital will predominate, but the French state will participate to the extent of 26 per cent o£ the profits.

Advertisements are the milestones on the road to success.

We w ish to announce that we have taken over the Insurance Business of Charles O. Hudnut, Deceased, together w ith Agency of the Camden, Hartford, Queen, and other F ire Insurance Com­panies, w-hose record established through th irty years connec­tion w ith the Hudnut Agency is a sufficient testimonial as to . their dependability and worth.

Policy holders may feel assured the ir business w ill be man­aged in the same careful and efficient m anner as in the past, and any losses that may occur w ill fye quickly and satisfactorily ad­justed.

In the event of any perm its o r special privileges being de­sired, policies brought to our office or enclosed w ith a communi­cation addressd to us w ill receive proper i endorsement. We shall be pleased to quote rates upon request, and all orders for new or additional insurance w ill be given prom pt attention.

BEACH FRONT DAMAGED

Heavy Nor’easter Gullies Ocean Avenue.

The heavy nor’easter last week did considerable damage along the Belmar ocean front, but it was small compared w ith that done in several o ther resorts on the New Jersey coast.

Swept by a gale prevailing for three days, reaching a velocity at times of eighty-five miles an hour, together w ith an extremely high tide, the waves rolled almost mountain-high. The w ater swept over and under the boardw alk and at the foot of both Seventh and Eighth avenues deep holes were gullied in Ocean avenue. Electric light poles w ere washed out and one of them fell across the avenue.

The foundation of the swimming pool at Gordon’s pavilion was under­mined.

In Shark river the tide was the highest in years, washing over the bulkhead at Inlet Terrace. The waves dashed against and over the jetties at the inlet but they w ith ­stood the terrib le pounding w ithout the slightest damage. Tlie outer end of the dock at C arpenter’s boat house was washed away.

in a night after the foundation is completed. W ith the safety tie track in sections, a stretch of equal length can be put down in an hour or it can be taken up as quickly.

A GROUP OF FOOD DISHES.

As w e are not all alike fortunately in our tastes, each may find some dish

which he likes in the good things constantly being combined.

Tripe Fricassee. — Scrape a pound of tripe, cut it in small pieces and cover with cold water. Let it

stand for 15 minutes, remove the wa­ter and put over fresh water, wash again and cover with cold water, then simmer gently for five hours, add one sm all onion chopped, after cooking, drain off the water and add two cup­fu ls of milk, a grating of nutmeg, salt and pepper, stir until it boils. Re­move from the heat, add a yolk of egg, mix well and serve hot.

Sardine Canapes.—Cut brown bread in circles, spread with butter and heat in the oven. Pound sardines to a paste, add an equal amount of chopped hard cooked eggs, season with lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Spread on rounds of bread, garnish each with the center circle of hard cooked white with the riced yolk in the center.

By adding potato to our bread we will not only help in conserving the flour but we will produce a product which is both wholesome and palata­ble. Doughnuts, rolls and biscuits are all improved by the addition of mash­ed potatoes.

Potato Bread.—Take one-third of a cupful of hot water or milk, add two teaspoonfuls each of salt, sugar and fat, three cupfuls of mashed potato, six cupfuls of flour and a half cupful of yeast or a half cake of compressed yeast and a fourth of a cupful of wa­ter. Put the hot water or milk, salt fat, and sugar in a bowl, add the mash­ed potatoes to it and mix well, soften the yeast in the water and add it to the potatoes. Add one cupful of flour and knead thoroughly, then the second cupful kneading and stirring, then the remaining cupfuls. This dough will seem very stiff and difficult to knead, but all the flour must be added or the dough will be very soft at the second kneading. Let rise until double its bulk, knead again and shape into loaves. Let rise until double its bulk and bake in a moderate oven for 60 minutes. This will make two loaves.

TRIBUTE FOR U. S^FARMERS

Hal. B. Fullerton of Long Island Railroad Says They Are Not

Brass Band W orkers.

A R E T R U E B L U E P A T R I O T S .

Three Generations of Farm Women Knitting for Red Crbss— Country

Boys Become First Class Pri­vates on the Jump.

Eloquent tribute to the patriotism of our farmers and to tlie self-sacri- ficing devotion of the women who live on farms is given in a statement made to the Liberty Loan Committee by Hal B. Fullerton, Director of Agricultural Development of the Long Island Rail­road Company. Mr. Fullerton, who has headquarters at Medford, L. I., said that the United States farmers’ army constitutes Uncle Sam’s front line of defense and main base of sup­plies.

"American farmers are not brass band workers,” he continues, “and are shy on putting up a big yell about things they are going to do, but as always they responded to their coun­try’s call in 1917, just as they did in 1776, and came over the top and ‘de­livered the goods’ in plenty, not only for the home folks and our boys over there, but a goodly surplus for Amer­ica’s comrades who with them are de­fending the world’s freedom.

“American farmers rallied to defend their country at the first call of Amer­ica's commander-in-chief, tlie Presi­dent.

“Many of them are veterans or sons of veterans, hence their sons knew that their country’s call drowned out all thoi ght of personal matters.

“Country boys used to wrestling with and downing hardships of heat and cold, rain and snow, dust and mud, on fam iliar terms with shotgun and rifle and team work quickly grasped military details and became ‘first class’ privates on the jump.

“American farmers ‘hopped to it’ when they learned more goods must lie produced, and without a kick in­creased their acreage, although short of labor, short o f chemical fertilizers and short of square-deal markets.

“Three generations of American farm womenfolks—grandma, mother and daughters—sturdy and earnest pa­triots, spent no time learning stitches but clicked the needles and delivered Red Cross goods warranted to wear and warm Liberty Lads of the Land of Freedom Boys of the Sea.

“These real Americans preserved to winter use vegetables and fruits, hav­ing learned to be prepared at grand­ma's knee.

“American farm folks all recognize now that their country needs their financial support as well as their men­tal and physical.

“American farmers today, as they did in colonial yesterday, w ill prove that they are true blue patriots, not scrap-of-paper or camouflage make-be- lievers, and while they fill Uncle Sam's food bins chock full of grains, vegeta­bles and meats their boys w ill fill Uncle Sam’s ranks with husky, nervy Freedoifa Defenders, their women­folks will supply their full quota of comforts and injury aids. And their modest savings put by for a ‘rainy day’ w ill be intrusted to Uncle Sam that he may build ships and fill them with all things needed by those brave Americans ‘over there’ holding back the hordes set upon making serfs of all the world.”

Teamwork.

By Rudyard Kipling.It ain't the guns nor armament

Nor funds that they can pay, But the close co-operation

That makes them win the day. It ain’t the individuals

Nor the army as a whole,But the everlastin’ teamwork

Of every bloomin' soul.

Committee of the Council of N ation­al Defense sent but to each state division of that committee tentative programs for Children’s Year. W ith this was a plan of organization, call­ing for a committee on Child Wel­fare in each state, and in each local unit.

Miss M. Estelle Moore, Unit Chair­man for Belmar, has appointed for this im portant w ork to be carried on here, Mrs. W alter U. L arso n . Mrs. Lawson w ill work through the W oman’s Club of Belmar, a civic organization, and has already ap­pointed an able committee who will carry out a well defined plan, of weighing and measuring all children of pre school age in Belmar.

In this effort th e y . ask for the hearty co-operation of all mothers of young children. v.

A duplicate card system w ill be used and by means of a printed table of standard heights and weights of children to be given each mother, each child can be w atched and tests made from time to time in the home as to its normal developement.

Drs. Hassler and Thompson h^ve assured the committee of their cor­dial support in this work.

Mr. Heroy has generously given the use of his store at the corner of F street and Tenth avenue as head­quarters of the committee. These' headquarters w ill probably be open­ed about April 22nd.

The sanction and commendation of President W ilson of the cam­paign are set forth in the following letter sent by the President to the Secretary of Labor.

“Next to the duty of doing every­thing possible for tlie soldiers at the front, there could be, there seems to me, no more patriotic duty than that of protecting the children who con­stitute one-third of our population.

“The success of the efforts made in England in behalf of the children is evidenced by the fact that the infant death rate iii England for the second year of the w ar was the lowest in her history. Attention is now being given to education and labor con- tures of both France and England, lures of both France and Englans, showing that the conviction among the Allies is that the protection of childhood is essential to w inning the war.

“I am very glad that the processes are being set afoot in this country and I heartily approve the plan of the children’s bureau and the wom­an’s committee of the Council of Nat­ional Defense for making the second year of the w ar one of united activ­ity on behalf of children and in that sense a children’s year.

“I trust that the year w ill not only see the goal reached of saving 100,- 000 lives of infants and young child­ren but that the work may so suc­cessfully develop as to set up certain irreducible minimum standards for the health, education andw ork of the American child. Cordially and sin­cerely vours. W oodrow Wilson.

In refutation of the popular belief that the money which is.devoted to the purchase of Liberty Bonds goes out of the district in which it is contributed, bankers are calling attention to the actual movements o f money devoted to the purchase of the bonds.

As an example, it was mentioned in the south that where a cotton grower purchases a Liberty Bond, paying by installm ents spread over several months, the money is le ft on deposit at a local banTi, acting as a government depository, until the government ac­tually needs it. Often the money rests in the local bank at which the sub­scription to the Liberty Bonds is made. By the time that the last in­stallm ent has been paid on the bond it is more than probable that money will be flowing into the district in which the subscription was made to pay for cotton, and thus the funds will be returning to the very point from which they theoretically started at the time of the Liberty Loan Campaign.

The whole matter in most cases' re­solves itself into an adjustment of cred­its. Examples of this sort could be' given to cover the case of Liberty Bond subscriptions In a grain district, a city producing large manufactures of equipment for soldiers or in any other center which is contributing in some way to the government’s war needs by Its output I

TWO REASONS FOR LIBERTY BONDS

THIRD LOAN ISDUTY FOR ALL

Men With No Relatives in France Ha v e Still More Reason to

Buy T ha n Other Persons.

Canvassers for the sale of Liberty Bonds of the Third Loan have gleaned many arguments for bond subscribers from relatives of soldiers who are at the front or in tyie various camps or in the navy.

A man whose two sons have joined the military forces made a personal canvass among his friends to find out liow many of them had relatives in the war and discovered only one of every three or four was able to claim th is honor. He called the attention o f those who had no relatives or friends in the army or navy to the fact that, in addition to his sacrifice in sending his sons, he had made a very liberal subscription to the Lib­erty Bonds of the previous loans and intended to purchase more bonds in the Third Loan. Then he sa id :

“Nobody needs to tell me that my boys need support from home. I know they require guns, ammunition, food and many other things to make their lives as safe as can be under the cir­cumstances. But for the man who has no relatives or friends in the war there is a duty that is even more ur­gent than mine.

“Why should the fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters of soldiers and sailors alone furnish money for those a t the front? Everybody else in tills country is going to benefit by our par­ticipation in the war. Everybody else is being protected, his home is being saved for him for the future, his lib­erties are being maintained for him and his descendants. He is getting more actual benefits, so far as the fu­ture is concerned, than the man who sacrifices his sons as w ell as his money.

“The gist of my advice is that the bulk of the money needed to pay for th is war should come from those who cannot contribute by sending relatives to join our forees.”

OverA penny saved is a penny earned,

but a dollar loaned to Uncle Sam is a ■dollar earned, plus the interest, plus a feeling around your heart that you wouldn’t sell for all the paper money in the central empires.

4,000,000 Boy Scouts to Aid New LoanYoungsters Will Make An Inten­

sive Ho use-to-House Convass a t En d of Big Liberty

Bond Campaign.

The full strength of the Boy Scouts of America, numbering nearly 400,000 with their adult leaders, has been called out by President Wilson to con­duct a nation-wide intensive Liberty Loan campaign.

This campaign will be a “clean-up” house-to-house canvass just before the close of the general campaign.

The Scout campaign w ill open on the second Saturday before the closing ■late announced for the regular cam-

m m m

palgn, thus making it possible to have two Saturdays within the period of the Boy Scout campaign.

The Scouts w ill make sure that no one is overlooked and w ill also give subscribers an opportunity to take just a little bit more. The Boy Scouts of America, as a distinctive service to their country, w ill work as “gleaners after the reapers.”

The campaign at the end of the reg­ular campaign In a house-to-house can­

vass is the parti culm' service that has been assigned to the Boy Scouts of America by the United States treasury department.

The real strength and effectiveness of the Scouts’ work will be shown by the number of people they induce to subscribe who otherwise would have been overlooked and the number ol persons induced to make additional subscriptions.

In the first Liberty Loan 139,645 subscriptions, amounting to $23,238,- 250, were secured by the Scouts. War service emblems were awarded to 8,499 Scouts who sold bonds in ten or more homes. In the second Liberty Loan 533,820 subscriptions were secured, amounting to $102,084,100. One out of every 18 subscriptions was secured by a Boy Scout, and 20,085 Scouts earned emblems.

The loan is to be much larger this time, and the need for enthusiastic and earnest efforts will be greater than ever before. To get out the full strength of the organized boy power of the nation in answer to the President's call the Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America by formal resolu­tion has declared :

“That the Boy Scouts o f America stands for 100 per cent, patriotism and unqualified and energetic support of the government in every way.

“Further, that it is expected that every Scout and Scout official w ill'con­form to this standard.”

The work will not interfere with the home or school duties o f any Scouts, but it is believed that during the pe­riod set aside for the Intensive Boy Scout campaign every Scout can ar­range to give some time, so that each troop report will show 100 per cent, record of efficiency of available Scouts participating.

To each Scout or Scout official who secures Liberty Loan subscriptions from ten or more independent buyers there will be awarded a war service emblem. Scouts who won emblems in either or both of the previous cam­paigns will receive an additional bar to be suspended from the original medal.

There will be 22,408 emblems and 3,678 bars awarded for work in the Second campaign. It is expected that these w ill be given out on April 6 , when the new campaign opens.

“Fifth Avenue Church, 46th street, New York City. Hope you will re­member our world in prayer. I take pleasure in sending clipping from Sunday School Times.”—From E.

The American consul and the British ambassador say it is no use to meet this violent and vindictive monarch with an­tagonism.” To this Dr. Hamlin re­plied-: “The Sultan of the universe, can, in answ er to prayer, change the decree of the Sultan of Turkey.” They gave themselves to prayer.

NEW YORK TO PAINT ITSELF TO AID LOAN

The stranger innocently wandering into New York during April will greet with astonishment the tremendous ad­vertising campaign being conducted by the Liberty Loan Committee. New York is to be painted red, white and blue. Thousands of ambitious people have their paint brushes out waiting with impatience for the word to start.

One purpose rests in the minds of thousands of workers, and that is to convince the people of New York that buying Liberty Bonds is tlie paramount purpose in life. With wonder the vis­itor will see huge signs on all sides of him, in every article he picks up terse, graphic appeals, in the theater, in the restaurant, in tlie house—it matters not where he may go—he cannot get away from the Liberty Bond.

A great advertising campaign will dazzle the stranger. Tags, huge signs, small signs, lines of pertinent matter everywhere, on every article, on gar­ments, will greet the eye.

The man \\;lio has undertaken the task of telling everybody about Liberty Bonds heads tlie Advertising Bureau of the Liberty Loan Committee. He has arranged the writing of a running Story of the loan in huge type. He and his assistants w ill turn their at­tention to 2 0 ,000,000 page fillers in the shape of cards, circulars, inserts, pam­phlets and posters to be attached to that portion of Manhattan’s moving stock not covered by main display ads.

Two of the series of 15 franked cards to be sent out during the loan w ill be entirely for distribution through the Women’s Committee to women throughout the state. The total number of cards to be sent out is 6.000.000.

WE MUST LEARN SACRIFICE.

By Alston Ellis,President Ohio University.

The best testimony I can give as to the duty of our people to make liberal subscriptions to the Liberty Loan is in the fact that I personally have done this thing. It is due to our govern­ment at this time that every citizen should be fully awake to the interests of the hour and willing, just as far as his resources w ill permit, to aid the government in the prosecution of the war.

An Investment in a Liberty Bond Is not a g ift to the government, but a loan to the government by which the lender will receive a fair rate of in­terest. By making such investm ent he will pay nothing but a just debt to the patriotic service he owes the country in which he lives.

Back theFighting Lad with the Fighting Loan

Now we know we are in the war. We read with a thrill of pride, of the good ac­count American boys are giving of them­selves out among THE LURKING PERILS OF “NO-MAN’S LAND.”

We read, too, the ever growing lists of the heroic dead, and our eyes and thoughts wander from our news­papers and letters from the front as we picture the trage­dy and the glory of their sacrifice. Now we know that we are in the war. We realize what it means. We are determined that the sacrifice of American life shall not be in vain, and that there shall be no turning back, no falter­ing until all our wrongs are avenged and our future peace and safety assured.

T h e T h ir d L ib e r t y L o a n is a “ F ig h t­in g L o a n .” T h e m o n e y re a liz e d fro m it sen d s o u r m en “ o v e r the top” arm ed an d equipped, tra in e d to the m in ute, stro n g and indom itable.

Every dollar we invest in this Fighting Loan is a fighting dollar— a dollar for vic=tory— a dollar to shorten the war and save the lives of our sons.
