SIGNS OF SPRING ACTIVITY IN IN

radically awry.
On sunny Sunday a surprisingly
large number of promenaders may be
seen on the board walk. Last Sunday
was one of these days. Though the
air was keen it was invigorating and a
good bundling up In warm clothing
prevented any discomfort.
All the winter the passenger traffic
to the island has been much greater
than of any previous year, and now
the prospective cottager, builder, in
vestor, sight seer, and health seeker
are coming in greater numbers than
ever. Get ready for spring! Every

Thieves Enter Rurfc

Petty robbers entered the Ruric bar
room, Cedar avenue, last Friday night
about one o'clock and rified the money
drawer of several dollars. A rear door
was badly crushed in making an en-
trance. On the same day the Geisen-
berger liquor store is also said to have
been entered and about $40 taken from
the money drawer. The night before
suspicious characters were discovered
lurking in the rear of Harbison's
Bazaar. Evidently the thieves are
amateurs in need of few dollars.
Night officers are extra vigilant and
may trace the thieves in a short time.

sThe Church, as .sBusiness.'


ssThe Church" as Business"
The writer was at one time employed
by firm of two brothers, one devout
Christian and the other rogue. The
devout member gave $500 a year to
the support of the church, and his
rascally brother gave $500 also "to
even up with my good brother" and
as "matter of business for said he,
1--WE have vacant lots for sale and am
interested in beautifying the town."
The town is a success. Both men and
their wives with their beautiful child
rem graced the church by their pune
tual attendance, the one benefitting it
spiritually and the other financially.
Every business man, whether Chris
tian or not, should see to it that there
are plenty of churches in every COM
munity and that each is properly sup
ported and attended. If Five Mile
Beach business men ever expect to
make this place for permanent resi-
dence land it is grand naturally we
must make it desirable for residents to
come here. The first thing asked by
respectable man when looking for
permanent home is "What churches
and schools have your" Then he takes
a look at the outside appearance and
asks about attendance. We can point
with pride to our schools, supervisor,
principals and teachers. But when
stranger goes into the churches and
finds them slimly attended and after
service goes by the cigar stores and sees
crowds of young men lounging and
gossiping and sees also the billiard
rooms and bowling alleys with cur
tains down and hears the click of the
cue and rolling on the alley he will
justly conclude that "'this is not the
place for my permanent home; l will
not bring my boys up amidst such en-
vironments." Thus you lose valua-
BILE citizen and multiply him by hum
dreds of others. Business men of Five
Mile Beach, do you want this to be
resort for gamblers, loafers and the
slums of the cities to mass into like our
sister city few miles above? Or dc
you want it to be populated with the
element that goes to make good citizen
ship? l sincerely trust it is the latter
and that your 10000 lots will be occu-
pied by 100000 permanent residents
with summer population of a million.
But to do this you must cater to the
better nature in man and not to the
baser. Encourage the churches, attend
them and take part in their manage
ment. First from love of God, but if
you haven't that, then as purely bu-
siness proposition and the other hap
PLY may follow, each conscience being
the guide. Yours for great city,

x JOURNAL TALKS
"a TO ADVERTISERS
Mr. Advertiser, Change
Your Copy!

While perhaps not to the same ex-
tent necessary, new text serves the
same purpose for the advertiser that
new copy does for the newspaper.
Both are important to the full measure
of success. AS news matter must be
fresh and attractive to please, so, to
carry out the fullest possible degree of
usefulness and benefit to the advertiser,
he, too, should clothe his statements
in new language. The importance of
this may not appear to the inexperi-
enced or Indifferent one.
Why SO many should look lightly
on this all-important phase of up-to-
date business practice, does not appear
1t is allowed to go by default, like the
question of advertising itself, until the
last moment and then disposed of in
the most hit-or-miss fashion without
any regard to its importance. Next to
advertising itself, it deserves and
should have first consideration. 1t is
not uncommon for an advertiser to tell
his newspaper man he has not had
time to prepare new copy and directs
him to use the old for the current issue.
Lack of time, though seemingly to
outward appearances valid, is one of
the weakest of excuses.
Leaving to the last moment and
then emitting altogether that depart
ment in ones business which makes
all others possible is nothing if not an
egregious blunder. 1t retards, if it
does not effectually check, the wheels
of progress down the entire length of
the line. As well might a general
order his men into battle without any
ammunition, or, at best, to serve
them with poor quantity and expect
victory as for business house to go to
r-ssSg e1~polrse u lrecfug- a-p an efssoorace
establishment for energetic business
and then not to advertise at all or with
secondhand material.

NEPTUNE'S SALT SPRAY
A Few Comments Both Humorous
and Serious, Condensed
for Your Reading
"

One day last week two well known
members of fish and game protective
association sat down to table in a
Trenton hotel and the waiter immed-
lately suggested that they eat quail as
it was unusually fine. They both ex-
changed glances and sent for the pro-
prietor. He was asked how many
quail he had on hand and said quite a
number. When informed that he was
liable to fine of $40 for each quail he
made dash for the kitchen and had
the birds thrown into the furnace. 1t
was purely ignorance of the law on his
part, but some game warden is seyident-
ly not doing his duty.
A bill will appear in the Legislature
in few days to prohibit the use of
swivel guns, magazine guns or any gun
of larger bore than No. 10, while hunt
ing game or game birds in the State of
New Jersey.
A bill that will prevent the taking Of
all wild waterfowl and all shore birds
would please the residents of South
Jersey as well as the gunners from all
parts of the State. Philadelphia
gunners by the score are shooting from
private property at Barnegat, and as a
rule they kill every bird that comes
their way. One man carried away
with him last week five ducks and five
wild geese as the result of three days
shooting. No license is necessary for
this kind of shooting.
