POTASH OUT OF MARLCHARLES McCUE RARM BOUCHT

FOR THIS PURPOSE.

The Marl Will be Shipped to NewBrunswick, where a Big Plant forExtracting ths Potaih from theMarl is Under Conatruction.The Charles McCue farm between

r Shrewsbury- and Entontown has beenbought by n concern known ns the

—Eastern Potnah Corporation,.._ Thefarm comprises 73 acres and the con-cern paid $22,500 for the place. Theproperty was not bought to bo oper-ated as n fnrm, although partB of itmay be used for that purpose. It wasbought to- furnish a supply of marlfrom which potush is to be extractedand the potash sold as a fertilizer.

For many years potash has beenone of the importnnt ingredients ofchemical fertilizers. Most of the sup-ply of potash came from Germanyand was mixed into fertilizers in' thiscountry. Potash is especially neces-sary for growing potatoes and otherroot crops, The European war, wliichresulted in a blockade of the Germanports, cut oflt the supply of potashwhich had theretofore been importedinto this country.

OUR JBOYS IN THE WAR.WHAT THEY DID DURING LAST

STAGES OF BIG CONFLICT.

Thomna'Boeckel of Locust Point SawEighteen Month;' Service With' theMarines*—Charles Cake of RedBank Now Chief F i J f tHurry Smock of IU'd Ehnk, who

is a member of the Red Bank am-bulance com'pitny, has written a letlet to his father, l-'red J. Smock.This letter was written October Slat,eleven days before the armistice wassigned, but it 3hows that the Ameri-can troops thought that the war wasabout over and that it would sooncome to an end. The letter was asfollows:

"I am enjoying my usual goodhealth. I had a little cold for a fewdays, but I took a lot. of medicineand got fixed up all right.

"We are taking part in anotherdrive and have been very successful.This is the fourth drive we have beenin. They surely are working ourdivision but we all figure the soonerour job is finished the quicker we willget back home. In this drive we cap-tured a German war garden, so thepast two weeks we have had lota ofvegetables to eaf, such aa cabbage,turnips, beets and so on, also lots ofsauerkraut. The other night we hadpumpkin pie for supper and thepumpkins came from this garden. Thegarden was-1 very liift-, so most every•company has received its share ofthe thing.s. It looked like marketdays at home, when the trucks,wagons and ambulances would gatherat this war garden in the morning.

"I see in last night's paper thatAustria has called for peace and thatshe is willing to sign all the terms ofthe Allies. It certainly looks good.If she does quit, why 'Germany willhave to stand all the battles and thisI know will finish the Kaiser.

"We all think peace is near anilthat it may come before Christmas.The English have done some greatfighting the past months. So havethe French, and we have been goingfull speed ahead ourselves. It wontbe long before the Huns will be en-tirely out of France and Belgium.

"Well, Dad, we will soon be wear-ing two service stripes instead of one.•fust think how far ahead iv« are ofsome of the boys who are just land-ing over here. I have met lots ofboys from home lately. I met JackRumpf of Red Bank the other day.He was well and looking fine."

Frank Sole, who kept .a barber shopon Monmouth street, has written ashort letter of greeting to his RedBank friends and has sent the letterto The Register for publication. Theletter was written from France, No-vember 19th. It said:

"To The Red Bank Register: I sendmy beat wishes and ask you to give

best wishes and best regards to. those I know and especially to

those that I wish to write to but havenot their addresses.

"Again to The Red.Bank Register:I wish ydiito tell my friends that I

you .am getting along- fine. I am locatedin a very good locality in good oldFriend France. I am so glad that Iwas able to come across! It has doneme a world of good. Gee! you oughtto have been here when we found outthat that devil they call the Kaiserhad given up his throne. That meantvictory, and more than anything else,it meant the ending of slaughter, t,wish good holidays to all."

Edward P: Lawes of Shrewsburyhas written a 'letter from Camp Fre-montt-Caljfornja, to Mjss Bessie Bor-den, secretary 1)1 the Follow-fhe-Boys league at Shrewsbury. He wassent to Camp Humphreys, Virginia, inSeptember, and was later transferredto Camp Fremont, which is an offi-cers' training camp. The letter waswritten November 25th and is as fol-lows:

"My dear Miss Borden: Your mostwelcome le'tter is at hand and I wasmore than pleased to find that myfriends had made me a member ofthe Follow-the-Boys league. I appre-ciate, this very much. I am sorrythat the influenza has been so bad inour- home town. We had a greatmany cases at Camp Humphreys, Vir-ginia, where I was stationed until Oc-tober 27th, when I was transferredto California. We left Camp Hum-phreys, Monday, October 27th, and ar-rived at Camp Fremont the followingMonday, which w.as good time for atroop train to cross the continent.All through North and South Caro-lina and Georgia wo BUW fields ofcotton and women and children werepicking it. At one town in SouthCarolina they took us off the trainand marched us around the townfor exercise and I had a chance topick some cotton. When we wentthrough Alabama, Mississippi andLouisiana we saw miles of sugar cane.

"We arrived at New Orleans at11:30 at night. They took us acrossthe Mississippi riVei'on a boat, carsarid all. At Meridaiv, Mississippi, wemarched through the city, ami alsoat Houston, Texas. We pussedalongthe Mexico border, where the RedBank boys were. The mountains ofTexas, Arizona and New Mexico werea grand sight. In places you couldaee thousands of prairie doga andgreat herds of cattle and horses.

"In one place we were 4,001) feetabove sea level and there I viewedthe most beautiful sunset I ever saw.At Loa Angeles it was very warm.We marched all through the city.The people, and especially the littleboysfand girls, waved and shouted, tous, and we all enjoyed this. We sawn lot of orange and .lemon trees. Thepalm trees are beautiful. In ourmarch we went through a sectionwhere- Chinese and Japanese peoplelive and where women run the barberBhops. Out here the influenza wasvery bad and the people wore maskson the street and ih their automo-biles. In some of the towns wherewe havo been the people are fined $50for being on the'streets without an in-fluenza mask, '

Charle3 Cake of Westside avenue,v/ho has been a government clerk sev-eral years and who is now chief clerkin General Pershing's'army in Europewith- the rank of second lieutenant,was with the army in its last drive.He wag in Paris when the armisticewas signed. He v/rote from Paris tohis wife in Red Bank, telling some ofthe things he saw in the last days ofthe war.

"On the tra'in coming into Paris,"he writes, "a Red Cross nurse sittingopposite to me saw my name and ad-dress on my suitcase and she said shewas from,Newark.' We.talked a lotbefore we reached Paris. I arrivedat Paris at half-past eight o'clock atnight. It was pitch dark outside ofthe station. Inside there were wo-men baggage smashers slingingtrunks and other baggage about, justas men do in our land. The onlylights out on the streets were thoseof taxicabs and these were almost asfaint as g-lowwormfl. I met a coupleof officers and asked them about thehotels. They said: 'Come along withus,' and they got a taxi and J got inwith them. Then I discovered thatthey were both pretty drunk. Whenthe-taxi door was closed JLcaughtJnyfinger and the end of the finger wascrushed and torn, but I wrapped myhandkerchief around it. Finally thetaxi stopped and we got out in frontof a big,hotel. I ran in and asked fora room, but there was no room to behad. I went out in the dark dismalstreet again, where the only beingsto be seen were soldiers and officersand a few women. I was getting des-perate and at last I asked an Ameri-can major whom I met what informa-tion he could give me. He said mychance of getting a room was slimand he took me to the Continentalmtel. It was a swell hotel with many

officers about the place, but I couldiret no room there. Then we wend tothe hotel Mirabeau, and there I gotthe last vacant room. .It. is a classyhotel and the'room was fine.

"I was in Paris three nights andtwo diiys. The streets were crowdedwith people celebrating the comingof poaco.- When-I went out on th_estreets I was grabbed by the Frenchcirls and' by soldiers, just like every-.ody else who ventured out on the

streets. Girls and men and womenand soldiers who had never met he-fore swarmed the streets arm in armmid hand in hand. There are manyfine buildings in Paris but it wasmoro interesting to look at the peoplethan it was to look at the buildings orn.t the historical monuments aboutthe city. French girls and women,French soldier3 and Yanks flowedthrough £he streets and this was kept.ip at night as well as by day. The.French are great night owls, youknow. Drunken men and womenwere plentiful o'n the streets. Manywomen Were smoking. Here nndthere soldiers were playing musicalinstruments, and in one case, on thepedestal of a statue, three French-men were playing the allies' nationalhymns on horns. An Italian, British,French, Yankee and Belgian soldierstood on the .top, each with his coun-try's flag. In one of the parks I sawseveral Italian soldiers ^aml a bunchof Polish soldiers celebrating. Aero-nlones sailed over the city to help inthe celebration.

'.'I went to some of the stores andI bought a good haversack for 48francs. Everything is high.in Parisand the store keepers are but to getall they can out of you.

"My hotel bill for the three nightsand two days wa3 48Vi francs, whichis about $9. That is no more nndperhaps not as much as the same kindof n room in the same class of hotelwould cost in America. Every menlI g-ofc cost six francs, which is a littlemorethan a. dollar. In the hotel themeala would cost about twice as,much."

At thetime the armistice was signed Ser-geant Boecke"! was a student in an :officers' school and was in line for acommission. He will go ^nto Ger-many with the army of occupation.A recent letter from him waa writtenfrom La Vallone, France, on Novem-ber 24th, 1918, and is as follows: •

"Dear Dad:.A special day has beenprovided for writing letters, so I willtell you how things' are going; overhere. France is a wonderful countrysince we put 'Kaiser ,Bill' to sleep.We get along fine with the 'Frenchsoldiers and the. Americans andFrench soldiers are like two peas ina pod. I can tell now what battleswe were in .during our eighteen imonths of service over here. The rfact is there have been no battles |during the past year in which someof the marines, did not take part.

"After arriving in France we wentup behind the lines at Verdun andwere trained in modern warfare withthe 'Blue Devils' * or Alpine Chas-seurs, the crack troops of France.While training there we had our firstexperience in air raids and we helpedcapture a Zeppelin, We went intothe trenches at Verdun to fight onMarch 17th and came out the latterpart of May. .In these trenches.wehad a few trench raids, and it wasthere we got cur first •Boche— ;•

"In four days .of hard fighting atChateau-Thierry we checked theHuns' great drive toward- Paris. Itwas there we had our hardest fight-ing. We fought for 47 days aroundthe Belleau woods (sinje renamed bythe French in honor of the UnitedStates marines) and drove the enemyback in great disorder, capturingthem by the hundreds. I was wound-ed in the arm the third time over thetop but it wasn't serious and it soonhealed up. Our battalion went intothe fight with 1,100 men and cameout with 179, the casualties amount-ing to over eighty per cent.

"From Chateau-Thierry we went toSoissons and took part in the bigdrive there. We sure did.drive themback..'.- .We. captured many cannonand prisoners and large quantitiesofsupplies.

"From Soissons we went to a sec-tor north of Nancy, in Alsace-Lor-raine. After being there we tookpart in the St. Mihiel drive. Wewent over the top on September 12thand advanced steadily for three days,capturing or killing everything thatgot in.our way.

"From this sector we went up onthe Champagne front to help theFrench, who were hard pressed atthat point. The French had beenfighting in a large town called Som-me-Pry. It was all shot to pieces andnot a wall over six feet high, wasstanding in the whole town. The neola, Florida.place had changed hands' seven times ™during the two days of fighting. Themarines attacked on October 6th andin 24 hours had driven the Germansback ten kilometers, qr_about_ej|jlrtmiles. It was hard fighting but insideof ten days we had taken one of theenemy's strongest points. The battle.is known as the 'Battle of BlancMont' or the -'-Battle of White Moun,tain.' After this fight we were sentto the Argonne forest.

From the Argonne section I wassent to an officers' school at La Val-lonne, n.ear Lynns, _whichJ3—th£_.sec-ond largest city in France. I anistill at the school but now that thewar is over I am going back to themarines. My division is in the armyof occupation, so I will probably beover here a few more months.

"I have given you a' rough sum-mary of my experiences in France.I could write for months on thethings I have seen. I could tell youof one instance where our thirst wasterrible and we had to capture amachine gun to get the water out ofits cooling jacket to drink.

TOWN TALK.

The Lonpf Branch hospital last yearreceived $25,000 from the publicfunds of the county of Monmouth.This year the hospital .seeks to obtuin$10,000 additional, or $35,000 in all.Those appropriations of public moneyare turned over to 'a private institu-tion to be spent by the managers ofthat institution.

to retire from active work have set-tled in town'a'nd have sold their farmsto younger men who expect to mnkotheir fortunes on the farms theybought. Others have sold parts oftheir farms and have reduced theirown acreage. Farming is becomingmoro and more a scientific industry.Large farms are being cut up intosmaller ones because there is as muchmoney to be made on a smaller farmthat is well tilled as there is on onetwice us large which cannot be givenintensive cure.

* # *All this rent estate activity betok-

ens a prosperous condition. RedBank is the natural business and trad-ing center for n large farming neigh-borhood and this brings; into the townmany hundreds of thousands of dol-lars each year. The train service isthe best in the county, owing to thetown 'being on both the New Yorkand Long Branch railroad and theCentral railroad line to Lakewoodand Atlantic City, which gives it awonderful express train service. Thismakes the town a favorite residence

There should be no mixing of pub-lic funds with the funds of a privateinstitution. Such diversion of publicfunds is wrong in principle eventJioueir it ran be done legally. The • p | a c e f o r N e w York and Newark busi-atate of New Jersey established this n e s s m e n a,,a for meiuwho are em-principle in-rc>gard to schoolsi*y pro-1 ,,]ovc(] in tho?e cities. These Newliibiting any diversion- of public j York and Newark business men andfunds to-any private- school- of any j employees, like the farmers rounda-k'"<l. I bout Red Bank, bring into the town

I hundred? of thousands of dollarsThis is a sound and a proper prin-

ciple, not only for schools, but for allother' purposes. No public- moneyshould be appropriated for private in-stitutions of any kind. Public moneyshould' be spent by public official:delectedpo.se.

or appointed for that , pur-

The money now appropriatedthe

every year which is earned elsewhereand which makes the town rich, andthis increases the demand for real es-tate.

Another reason for the activity inreal estate in ami around Red Bankis found in the fact that redl estatehereabouts is held at very low figures

to in comparison with the prices whichprivate hospitals 1>y the Monmouth • prevail in'towns similarly situated,county freeholders would pay the cost! There is no town within an equalof maintaining a public hospital for j distance of New York which has sothe county's unfortunates who nre! many natural advantages as Redunable to pay for their care. If the ] Bank, and there, is no town withincost of-caring for the sick of the ! an equal distance of New Yorkcounty 'who are unable to care for, where the price of real estate 13 so

' themselves - has reached a sum of low.-.In many, instances prices of .lots$35,000 to ?44,000, as the hospital similarly, situated are two or threepeople say, then it is high time that times as high in those towns as theythe county of Monmouth owned and are 111 Red Bank,, and these low pricesoperated its own hospital. To the. or- of real estate, in comparison with thedinary mind it seems incredible that prices in other towns, bring, a con-the sick and injured of Monmbutlii t l n " a I stream of new residents hero,county who are unable to pay their j * * *own way should be so great in num-ber as to make such an immense sum

-AT THE-

necessary.• * *

The granting of appropriations toprivate institutions works injustice invariotfs ways. In the case of hospitalservice, it works an injury and an in-justice on the taxpayers of thoseparts-rf the county which send no pa-tients to the hospital. In the.westernpart of the county very few personsget relief at tfie^liojpitals at theshore. The sick and injured in those

• parts of the county are treated andeared for at^their hojnes at the ex-pense of the local community, or. theyare taken to hospitals in Mercer orMiddlesex1 county .without charge tothe taxpayers of Monmouth.

* * * - . •

There is no justice.and no fairness'in taxing the people of the westernpart of the county for appropriations jfrom which they derive no benefit'^Hiatever. The whole system of car-i«R- for those.who are unable to-paytheir, own way. at hospitals should bechanged by the freeholders; The sickand the injured who are taken to" hos-pitals come directly in the class ofthose for whose relief poor funds areprovided. Each community is ex-pected -to - care—for its-own pool.1.Every municipality employs a physi-cian for this very purpose.

Wlure the sick or injured of.anymunicipality.nre tuken to a hospitalfoe treatment, the cost of such treat-,men t should be borne by that munici-

• purity. That is the only1'just.jind_faii'"TTOyiff"dealinjTWitlrthis'maTter. Un-

Red Bank is growing fast. It willcontinue to grow fast. Its natural ad-vantages, its railroad and steamboatfacilities, its.nearness to the seashore,its environment of productive farms,and the factories of various kindswithin its limits, all combine to givethe town an attractiveness and a'prqs-perity which is not surpassed by anyother town in the state. t

dered for the village of Lincroft toreplace the banner which has been ondisplay in front of Henry Conover'sstore and which .is now torn andfad,ed. The new flag will arrive thisweek.» It will contain nineteen bluestars and a gold star. The gold stari in honor of Arthur Kearns, who

Christmas Superstitionsin Homes of Our Allies

OF the new world andI! the modern customs ore al-

Particularly have the habits of Eng-land and France held us; tlio formerbecause sho is our mother country, tholatter becuuso of tlio unriucnchabloHear memory of Lafayette, uiul morerecently because of that same spirit sogloriously upheld, today by France'snoble eons. And this holiday timeflnds us with our eyes turned thither-Ward for a more poignant reason—forthere aren't many homes who cannotHalm a father, a Bon or a brother "overmere."

And It Is well to know some of thohomely, Bwcet little - mipersUtlonB^rhlcli prevail unions the people of ourIlllics.

In England and In Scotland the Buy-ing goes that It U unlucky for uuybodybut a brunntte to first cross tlie thresli-Dld on Christmas morning.

'Hot stand Half a flmnce to inold 1Woo to the housewife who on this

flay turns a mattress. It bodes 111 luckfor the whole year.• , A superstition which liad Its, originIn Devonshire tells us that It la bmlform and 111 luck indeed not to wishtho bees good morning and the compli-ments of the season. On Christmas evedie hives are decorated with "springsof green nnd a bit of wd ribbon. Tlsalso enld that bees sing nil night onChristmas eve. But bees-are ratherperpetual slDgcr.it auytvay.

The graceful traditions prevail, Innorthern England nnd Wales, that thotritds nnd beasts liuvc some mysticconnection with the Nativity. Hence,Hie farmers and lnndownprs piirelmsoahanves of oats from little boys who•ell them as our boys sell holly. Thesebundles are placed ,ln convenient highjduccs in trees and fences, that theSlrds may partake.

In Lyons, France, nt the Foundlinghospital, n very pretty custom Is, towelcome the first baby that arriveswith special honors—n berlbbonedcradle, padded basket, soft clothing,solicitude and n bestowal of gifts, andcareful attention. This Is done In ex-llatlon of the poor welcome given to aWee Child of Bethlehem 20 centuriesago, and n beautiful thought it Is.

Observance of Day Is Habit of MoreThan Twenty Centuries' Standing—

"Yule" Meant Sun—Commu-nity Christmas Tree.

Celebrating tho 2Stli of December isa liubjt of more tlinn twenty centuries'Hlundlng. It is n remnant of Unit goodnature of our curly ancestors, wlticlihiis disappeared to u great extent withthe irritating problems of civilization.All the rest of the year, writes Fred-eric J. Httsldn, we fight''und grabtilings' away l'rorii cadi olhor'und wearour nerves to n frazzle, but at Christ-mas wo CIOKO our commercial ex-Clmngea, eat tremuudouH quantities offood and send preseuts and postalcurds to our friends and relatives

Is what we are supposed to do. Manypeoiile do a great deal more in theway ot community Christmas trees,visits to the hospitals and baskets forthe poor, and still others regard thewhole thing as absurd und" consider ab-stinence from Christmas gifts a signof slruiiKth of character.

Long before the birth of Christ ourancestors In northwestern Europe cele-brated the until of December, whichn'mrked the pnssing of the winter sol-stice or the return of the stfn In theheavens after conquering the powersof darkness. That "was the day of thosun worshipers. The-problem of theuniverse was Just beginning to puzzleand our ancestors figured it out in a

The cc:n-inunlty "Tree of Light" Is usuallyplanted, (W, a central location In-thecity, trimmed with balls and orna-ments and lighted with electricity.Citizens are organized Into committeesto collect donations for the tree andemploy bands of musicians to playChristmas carols and hymns.

All "tlio gods nnil goddesses prayed[or his res torn! Ion to life, nml whenthe prayer was grunted it was de-creed that the mistletoe, should never-ruoro littvo power lo do harm unless Ittouched the eui-lh, and lite goddess otlove was uppolnled to guard It.

Some legends claim that the god-dess klssml all who passed under,, llioplant as u token Unit It was no longeri weapon of detith, but n symhol ofove, while others assert Hint she ex-iracted a kiss from each as a propitia-tion, or (he bough should be allowed toivork liana.

There wus once a common, thoughmistaken, belief that the mistletoe grew

But Christmas Is n spirit,which you either have or haven't.

animal life depended on plant llfctf, sothat the power of tho sun was greatlyrespected ajjd it was personified In tho1

person of the god Thor. Thor waswutchiMl' with considerable Interest,since there was always some doubt HHto whether he wouhl survive the win-ter solstice. Hence the feasling andmerrymaking when he continued lotihliie clear and strong In the heavens.

Meaning of the Word "Yule."Besides Thor there wero numerous

gods who lived in lho brunches oftrees. Therefore the people gatheredmistletoe boughs and holly branchesnnd put them In conspicuous positionsIn their houses, where they mightonslly bo seen from the outside, In thohope Unit sonic wandering god wouldtake a fancy to them and take up hisresldonco among the red berries. Infiermimy tho early Huns choppeddown the evergreens and brought il)eniIndoors foV (In; snmc purpose.

With the dnwn of Christianity findtho conversion uf tin; sun worshipers,(he birth of Christ wns substituted asthe cause for celebration and the fes-tivities became religious demonstra-tion!;.

A very nice building wastrei'.tc''! and one large room was setaside for the officers' rest room.Here We had card tables, checker andchesa boards, writing tables, comfort-ab!« lounges and wicker chairs.Quite a good little library was gath-ered together. The place was verytastefully decorated. What is so raref h i F i hfurand

tainted. There was a very generaTfeeling everywhere that the war isnow over and that funds arc nolonger needed in large amounts, andthis caused a great reduction in thememberships. The fact that the cam-paign . was...conducted just before*Christmas aiso reduced the number ,«of members obtained, for the pur^" 'chase of Christmas gifts was upper-most in the thoughts of everyone.

The actual number of members «b~tained has not yet been computed.There is hardly a district in the coun-try where the completed returns have,been tabulated. The state of 1 WJersey and the county of UonmouUr,and the various districts in thecounty, are 'in the same condition ofuncertainty as all other localities..Ii_isJ_kno_wij,.,.however, that the re-turns arc far below the estimatesmade before the campaign opened.

Red Bank had several features inits campaign. Miss Estelle Greena-

of Fair Haven is chairman of the wait of Bank street, who had been inboard, Benjainin B. Bobbitt of LongBranch is secretary and Dr. Ed^yinField of Red Bank is the examiningphysician. John Martin of FairHaven,is at present chief clerk of theboard. , ' ,

. The total number of meii regis-tered at the board under the selectiveservice act was 7,300, of whom 4,005registered on September 12th. OSthose who registered, 1,197 were in-ducted into service. This numberdoes not include 52 young men in-ducted into the students' army train-ing corps nor does it include specialvoluntary induction's in other branch-es of service. No one who registeredon September 12th was sent to cahip,through calls received by the board,although" 28 were to have left forcamp the 'week the armistice wassigned. Mr. Martin, clerk of theboard, was to go with these.

A tabulated report of the numberof those who registered, those whowere rejected or exempted, and thosewho wore inducted into military ser-vice, has. been sent by the board tothe adjutant general at Trenton.The board is now engaged in rear-ranging its files under a recent orderfrom the provost marshal general andit expects to complete its entire workby the first of the new year.

Middletown's New District Clerk.Miss Blanche XL Runyon of Belford

resigned as district clerk of the Mid-dletown township school district atthe last meeting of the school board.The resignation will take effect Janu-ary 1st. Ralph A. Bowman of NewMonmouth, one of the members ofthe school board, has been appointedto take Miss Runyon's place.

A block party was held on Me-chanic street on Friday night. About200 feet of the street was roped offand several hundred people assem-bled for a dance. There was musicfor dancing and W.C.Botelcr addedto the liveliness of the occasion by-burning red and green fire. A col-lection of about $7 was taken up for'the Red Cross, j

George Adams, Red Bank's steeple-jack, gave an exhibition on theHance building in aid of the RedCross roll call Friday night. A rope>was stretched from the top of theHance building to Independent firecompany's truck in the street. Mr.Adams slid partly down the rope andthen did several acrobatic feats. Hehung from one hand, he hung headdownward Fiy one foot and did otherdaring stunts. While he was per- -forming, soldiers, firemen and women.dressed in Red Cross uniforms, passedamong the crowd and took'up a C0I7lection for the-Red Cross.

Mr. Adams's performance was pre-ceded by a talk by Corporal WilliamV. Fredericks of Shrewsbury, who is>home on a furlough from the basehospital at Cape May, where he i»being treated for wounds received in.battle in France. He was woundedby machine gun bullets in the armand leg and lie was also gassed. Cor-poral Fredericks snid he could not,find words to give the Red Cross thepraise it deserved for the good workit • was doing for the soldiers inFrance. He said the first personwhom he saw after recovering con-sciousness from his wounds was aRed Cross nurse and the first person,to greet him on his return to thi»country was also a Red Cross worker.In closing his talk he said that if the-people here could see the horrors of.war whicho the American soldier*have seen and could see the wonder-ful relief work which tho Red Crossis doing in France nnd BelRiuhi,everybody would make a Kencontribution .toward the work.

nia have already began their cam-paign for the election in 1920, whentho question will be brought up be-fore the people again! While thevote this year in favor of the tnx wasslightly smaller in proportion than itwas two years ago, the single taxers

. of California arc not disheartened!They believe that a campaign of edu-cation is all that is needed to con-vince the people that a single tax onland is the most just tax that can belevied.

California has twenty million acresof tillable land which is held out ofuse by land speculators,' who areholding the land until the time comeswHen the increasing population willenable them to reap a rich harvestfrom the increased value of the land.They will not have done one thing

" themselves to Increase the value ofthis land. The incrense in value willhave come, from the increasing pop-ulation, which will require more landfor homes and farms. But whilethese land owners do not use the landthemselves, and while they will havedone nothing to increase its value,they will reap all the profits whichlinve been created by the increase inpopulation.

• H * * *

It is the people themselves and nottho man who holds the title to landwho cause the increasing valtle. Ifit were not for the greater numberof people in New York city the valueof land on Broadway would be noi;<«ater than the value of land atTine Brook. When fheawhite peoplefirut came to this country and beganto nettle on Manhattan Island the en-

.Jire island was bought from the In-dinns for $2.4, As the population in-creased the value of land went up, notbecause jjhe owners of the land hadirmde the land more valuable, but be-cause the increasing number of peo-ple who wanted land for farms and

At the firetmass at 7:20 o'clock, which will be ahigh mass, there will be special musicunder the' direction of the organist,Miss Beatrice Bugan of Red Bank.The program win.be as follows:Prelude. .

Land is a natural'resource, like theair and water and coal mines ami iron

"countries are already taking steps inthiit direction. The single taxers ofCalifornia may not win out with theirproposition but they are showing thetrend of the times. ~ Moreover, whena state which has twenty million till-able acres lying idle casts one-thirdof its votes in fiilvpr' of single tax, theprinciple of single tax-must be get-

tngo which bore t helegend, "The Evergreen Shop."

Every year during the Christmasseason Ruth Thoinns inude hundredsof evergreen wreaths, which she soldfor Olulstmiis decorations.

This was why the people of Brlerlyculled her tlie evergreen girl.

The day before Christmas Ruth satIn IHM" litlle shop linlslilng the lastwreath she'would make that season.

"There 1" she Raid, deftly twisting asprig of bright- red berries among theevergreen stems, "thnt finishes HelenKlanwoud's order;; and thank goodnessIt's done In time. Oh,dear!" she sighed,lnylng the wrenlh aside, "I do wish Icould spend one Christ mas time en-joying myself as others do. Why, therehas not been anyone here over the holi-days since I can remember, and I havenot been to n Christmas purty in years—not sjuce the time 1 went over toDolly Blair's with Dane."

A warm color suddenly glowed In thegirl's cheoks npil lhero was a soft lightIn. her brown eyes ns she thought ofHint memorable night.. Dane Stanwuod hud taken her torliat -ixirfy. Onco during' the eveninghe en'ught her us she was standingunder the mistletoe hough,- and—The sudden ronr of a high-power auto?mobile broke In upnn Ituth's musings,nnd she looked out In time to see along blue roiidster flash l>nst the gfite".

The car belonged to Dane Stnmvood.i -Shortly after the Christmas party tit-Dolly Blair's Dane hud gone West tobcronle a mining* engineer. He hadwritten n few times to Butli and thenthe letters had stopped coining, and

ishe hnil lioMwiiril from him for nearlyfour years. Then,' just a month ago,

"The Girl I Expect to Marry Is Here."

lro hail suddenly: appeared hi Brlerlywith I lie blue rm'lnp; pnr-Snnn.rumored that he had made a fortuneIn the mines.

.The second week after his relurnStanwood bought tlie old Klutu man-sion and gave the Information' that he'intended to move. Into Ills new'homebefore Christmas. Next he announcedthat preparations were under wuy forIT party which he wus giving Christ-mas eve. : ~~; ^ r—- :•—--;—-----•—-•

Tlio evergreen girl Imd been sur-.prised nnd « little' bit hurt becauseDane hail not even Called; She Imd i

double parlors of his new homo, wherethe Christmas tree hud hcen plnced.

"Do you -suppose," be asked, point-.Ing to n grout pile of evergreen at onecud of (lie room, "we will bo able toliang nil these, wreaths nnd then deco-rate the tree before eight o'clock?"

Tbe evergreen girl gave a ruerry lit-tle laugh.

"I am sure we can If we work fust,"she answered. "I am used to thiswork, you know, and with your helpft won't take long."

"How long have you been the eyer-Sroen girl?" Dane naked, ns he andlluth were trimming n chandelier.

"This is my third season," Ruth re-plied. "I found that there was a bigdemand for wreaths nnd laurel trim-ming during the Christmas .holidays,so three years ngo I opened an ever-green shop. I love to do this kind ofwork, nnd although the season Is ashort one, my little shop pnys well." •

Tho evergreen girl might have addedthat-,-more than this, the rush oC workjuxt at 'Christmas time helped her toforget, the dull nclie in her heart whichwas always, so hard, to hour during theholidays. She snid nothing of this,though", but nsked, instead: ,

"Tell me, Dane, bow you have spentChristmas while you have been a way.Have you been whore there was muchnierry-iiinklng?"

"For the past three years." saidStanwood, "I've celebrated Christmasby working from dawn till dark. Thisis the first enjoyable Christmas eve Ihave knowii since I left Brlerly."

"It has been a' very plensant eve-ning for me, too," sni'd Tlutb, "and Ilinve enjoyed It ever so much. Nowwe'll trim the Christinas tree, and thenyou 'can tukmiie home and get backlii.tiine for the pnrfy."

At half-past -seven Dane surveyedthe big double parlors with satisfaction.With tlu> help of the evergreen girl hebad finished the decorations fond every-thing was In readiness for the guests.

"Tlie rooms look jiist n* they didfour yenra ago at Doll;-Blair's Christ-mas tree—even the mistletoe bough,"said Dane. "Don't you remember how•Hint one hung right overour heads, asthis one does now?" *

The evergreen girl was silent."Had you forgotten, Ruth?" he per-

sisted.

"No," softly,."I had not forgotten.'"You never thought I had forgotten,

did you, dear?""But you never wrote, Dane."

— "Because for a-loug-tbue-I was mlleaf Him a railroad or post office and couldlint wild any mull. But I've thoughtnf that night, though, nnd nil theseyours I've been planning to have a
