HOW ABOUT YOUR BOY?
Do You Know Who His Associates
Are When he is Loafing on
the Streets at Night

From little town in this state
a boy was sentenced to the peni-
tertiary. His old mother chung to
him sobbing when he was taken
from the court room back to jail
after the sentence had been pro-
nounced and he shook her off
roughly. You are to blame for
what | am" he said, and when
she reminded him that she had al
ways loved and petted him, he
answered:
That's what | blame you for.
If you had made me obey you,
had taught me that my parents
knew what was best for me instead
of allowing me to go my own way
and laugh at my boyish mischief,
/ would not be where | am now.
This was terrible arraignment
for child to make of its parents.
But it was a just one. 1t that
mother had reared that boy with
less fear of hurting his feelings or
spelling his pleasure, he might
have been saved to good citizen
ship. But his parents let him drift.
He was spoiled and petted darl-
ing. Gradually made bad associ-
ates, and bad associates are like
cookie burs; you can't get rid of
them. And from merely associat-
ing with evil companions, the boy
was drifted into evil ways and the
path led him to the peniteptiary,
Mothers and fathers are under a
moral obligation to society, to the
State and to the Providence that
trusted them with the rearing of
children, to rear those children
rightly. All the love that your
heart holds for your boy won't
save him unless you teach right
from wrong until he reaches the
age of responsibility.
There are boys in every city,
boys of good families, who need
very sorely parental watchfullness.
Do you know where your boy
Is after a reasonable hour at night!
He ought to be at home.
If he IS away after bedtime and
you don't know where he is you
may safely ia Ike it for granted
that he Is where he ought not to
he. There's nothing doing on the
streets after bedtime and no boy
has any business wandering up
and down town after that hour.
The boys are the salvation of
the country, the brains and Drawn
of tomorrow, the statesmen of a
latter day, the makers of all that
make q nation.
So mothers and fathers don't
you think that you owe it to your
boy and to society and yourself to
know where he is at night and who
his associates are.
His place is at home at night or
else with associates whom you
know you can trust.
And be mighty careful how
many you trust.

no UtO NOT MISS the OF
the Prominent Citizen Much.
A business man in an Oklahoma town
got mad at the editor of a local paper
about something which appeared in the
paper, and notified the editor that he
would in future have bis printing done at
a job Office where they didn't have a
paper to roast everybody. He thought,
Of course, the paper would have to quit
business, but it kept on going.
In about two months the man slaughter
was married and they had a big blowout,
but not: a line appeared in the paper.
Later Oh his wife gave a big reception to
some visitors, but not a line appeared in
the paper.
Later on the mans youngest child died,
but not a line appeared in the paper.
The next fall a mass meeting was held in
town to see about some public improve
ments and th:s business man made a big
speech. The meeting was written up in
full, except this mans speech. This was
skipped. Then the business man called
and asked the editor what he had it in
for him about. "You got mad last year,
if you remember, and said you were go
ing to have your work done at the job

your job printer print the account OF your

Debt Paying Christianity.

PENIS Grove RECORD.
We oft times hear the question on debt
paying argued. l wish to say something
on that if you will give it a place in your
columns. It is brief, pointed and true.
There is n great evil in this country
which the pulpit and press ought to de-
nounce more frequently than what they
do. That is the habit of getting into
debt and making no effort to pay.
Can a man be a consistent Christian
and not strive to pay all his debts? Can
a mar be a Christian and not be honest?
Isl man who does not try to live within
bis means and pay his debts an honest
man? If so, we do not understand the
Bible. Should men who habitually dis
regard their financial obligations be con-
sidered Christians? We think not, and
think that a mans being a member of
the Church ought to be a letter of credit
IN any part of the globe where the Chris
tian religion prevails. But it is not the
case; far from it; and there are ever some
ministers whose M do no good be-
because they are preached by men who
are not considered honest by even men
of the world.
Whiskey is pronounced the great evil
Of the day, and it is a great curse, but we
doubt whether it does more harm to the
AUS Of the Church than the lying and
dishonesty of the man whose promise ia
pay, is not worth the paper 1t is written
on. The Church is not the place 10,
fraud and dishonesty.

Mrs. Hayes has been active in Church
circles from a child, being connected with

With the approach of the first spring
month and the thaw this week the cold
est winter in the history of weather re-
cords may be considered ended. A light
snow fell last Friday night but thawing
weather came on Saturday and contir-
ued until Thursday evening.
A thunder shower last Sunday after
moor and southerly winds has dissolved
the ice in the river, and brought the
frost out of the ground, making the roads
a mortar bed.
Last Friday night the ice broke loose
in the eastern channel on the food tide
and jammed on shore. At the railroad
freight slip ice between one and two feet
thick vas piled eight feet high. 1t was
also piled as high at the foot OF Main
Street and the piling in the middle of the
steamboat wharf was crushed down for a
distance Of fifty feet and the wharf beams
fell in. The plank were torn off and
saved on Saturday.
The small wharf which extended out
from the Mo Causland-Peacock lot was
crushed down by the ice in January.
The past winter has been the severest
period of continues cold weather ever ex-
perienced in this region. The ground
has been continuously frozen since the
middle of November, a period of fifteen
weeks. The cove has been filed with
ice unbroken for twelve weeks, and the
eastern channel has been blocked since
Christmas, nine weeks. Persons not on
ly skated on the river for a longer time,
but workmen walked on the ice and rode
their bicycles from PENIS Grove wharf
to Carney Point.
From January l to March /, the tenn
perature was below the average 60 daily
or deficiency of 357o below the average.
The temperature in December was also
below the average for 30 years.
A cold Northwestern Thursday night
pulled the temperature down to 200 and
froze the ground solid again.

The New Fish Law.
Mr.. EDITOR,

Nh. EDITOR,
Dear Sir:-I desire to state some facts
in reference to Assembly bill No. Z, in
troduced by Mr.. Hunt, Jan. 18th. The
public seems to have a wrong conception
as to how or where this bill originated.
Quite a large number of people are i'm
pressed with the belief that Gloucester
County is the father of this bill. Some
how it got the title of the Avis-Hunt
bill, and because of this l presume it was
generally accepted by the public as com
ing from Gloucester County.
! wish to state emphatically that AS
sembly bill No. Z was drafted by the SUI
preme body of the Shad Fishermen's
Protective Association of PENIS Grove,
Salem County, N. ]. The bill had the
unanimous Endorsement of the Penns-
vile branch OF our Association as we'll as
the Bridgeport branch of Gloucester Co.
While it is evident their was some little
change made in the original bill as first
drafted. But the change did not affect
the real merits of the bill.
/ wish to state also that the Fishermen's
Association at Paulsboro gave this bill
their support. AS Assembly bill No. 7
has passed both houses, no doubt but
what it will become a law. The permits
sions which this bill embodies will give
us a great and equitable law. MI. Hunt,
our Representative in the Assembly de-
serves great credit for the earnest manner
in which he worked for the success OF
our bill.
This bill was gotten up by the fisher
men and for the fishermen. 1t will not
only benefit the fishermen but will result
in greater good throughout our entire
State. E. S. Fl.

Good Record.

Constable Joseph Harper, of Pedrick-
town is the best collector of delinquent
taxes this county has ever had. In Up
per PENIS Neck the Collector, Josiah
%Summerll, got all but $2S. so, with the
assistance of the new tax law. That is
the closest the taxes have ever been COL
lected by a collector. Mr.. Harper has
collected all that but one bill of $1.86.
which is disputed as a wrong assessment.
In Penn's Grove Mr.. Harper has col
iected all, but a little over 500, most of
which is on real estate, the payment of
which can be delayed legally.
