Seldom is the weather in such delight
full mood on Independence Day as on Mon
day. The celebration of the day commenced
directly after midnight and the boys saw to

Fourth comes only once year, and boys
will be boys. Some of the homes were
deliberately decorated. The parade was
good, but lacking in the essential feature of
music. The Pitman base ball team warmly
contested honors with St. Luke's, Of Phila-
delphia, in double header and won, to
