The money is not contributed IN
large amounts. but in small contrl-
buttons of 25 and 50 CENTS; and
very poor families are not asked
Another Good Example.
Another example Of how well sat
listed the public is with these ra-
tional methods is the way in which
the city of Philadelphia celebrated
Founders Week last fall. A his
torical pageant passed through
Broad street. believe It was est.-
mated by the Police department
that 100000 people took part. This
pageant portrayed the settlement,
rise, and upbuilding Of Philadelphia.
and of course, the various nationali-
ties took part In the celebration.
marched in the parade, every
fcot of which was uphill or II
miles, and do not think that one
person dropped out. Over $4,000
people travelled to the suburbs to see
the spectacle. The Germantown
avenue, along which is passed, for
FIVE or six ME-, was a very marrow
street, and the procession marched
On both sides OF the street. The
spectators had kitchen tables, Dav-
exports, and sofas on the sidewalks.
on which the audience sat and stool.
It seems as though some corre-
spending efforts could be made in
many cities that now perhaps would
not undertake such celebration,
through fear OF inability to raise the
necessary funds or from the feeling
that the public would not support
such a movement.

How Camden, NJ. j., Celebrates indie
pendence Day in Way That
other Cities Can Follow.

The annual slaughter OF the Fourth
is always followed by good resolu-
tions for a change Of program-reso-
lutions usually forgotten until the fol
lowing July. Camden is one OF the
few cities that has substituted prac-
teal plan of celebration in place OF
the old time powder and pistol
methods.
In the ward OF Of the city of Cam
den, n. j., in which | live, situated
on the outskirts of the city, there is
a population OF not more than A.
900. For the past four or five years
we have a so-caled Patriotic Asso-
citation. the object of which has been
to raise funds for the celebration of
the Fourth of July.
All of the school children In the
Eleventh ward and in the neighbor.
ing ward are invited and they come
in thousands for the fun which
starts in the morning with simple
games and plays, and competition
with prizes where the children are
old enough Following the games
there is singing led by the city d.
rector OF music. Then the mayor or
prominent citizen makes a speech
fol owed by a monster parade" con-
sisting of all the school children
and the patriotic association. In
the evening we still have fireworks,
set off in front of the woods where
no harm can result and the dealer
who supplies the combustibles has
also the contract for setting them off.
The result is that thousands of peo-
pie are drawn from all parts OF
Camden to see the display and the
street car lines are compelled to put
on extra cars and run them out to
the suburbs to accommodate the
thousands who come 10 witness the
celebration.
For the past few years from $3.50
to $500 each year has been contrib
uted from the citizens residing in
the Eleventh ward; and il Is COM
paratively easy TO procure the money.
The city does not do anything
tOWdruS tue CtlSotdlAon SASTpI sup
ply additional policemen. This con-
vinces me that 1t is not nearly as
hard as some may think to get the
American public to contribute to the
celebration of our national birthday
and to substitute something worth
while for the individual fire cracker
celebration.
The Eleventh ward of Camden
shows that this can be done even in
small community The collectors
do not go for money outside of that
ward, and there are poor people liv-
ing in that section too-men work
| ing in car shops who do not earn
more than the average working man.

From The World Of Thursday:


The independence day celebration
is taking shape. The committee at
noon today decided to have meeting
this evening at 7:15 at the Y, NJ. G. A.
building at which the entire commit
tee, the members of the sub-commit-
tees and the Chief Of the Fire Depart
nent and the captains of the various
companies are U--ed to be present.
The matter of events for the Fire
mems parade will be taken up at
that time and it Is desired that all the
representatives OF the Fire Depart
ment be there.
Several bands have been conmunl-
Gated with and it looks as IL there
would be p'enty OF music
Chairmen Trout Is meeting with
much success in securing automobiles
for the parade. Many are volunteer
ing and he asks that those who have
machines and are willing TO help give
the little folks ride telephone him
at the Peoples Trust Company and
he will be glad to add the name to the
list
Inquiries are coming in from out OF
town autoists and when they learn
the character OF the celebration it is
likely that they will signify their in
tention of getting into the parade.
The finance committee Is at work
and they have issued the following
appeal to the public.

From The World OF Wednesday:
Following close after the announce.
ment in the Evening World last Satur-
day that big shoe factory Is soon
to be started at North Mountain
comes another proposition OF much
larger proportions for the same 10.
cality. This is paving brick. sewer
pipe and tile plant. Some time ago
this paper limited that such an indus
try was contemplated; that options
had been obtained on certain LANDS
rich in clay deposits near North Noun.
tain, but that the matter had not then
taken definite shape. Now. however
the indications point to some big do
ings in the northwest section OF Berke-
ley county In the near future.
Tomorrow or next day delegation
of New York capitalists viii be here
to look over the field. They will be
headed by Mr. f. w. Mack, OF ST.
Louis, the king bee of the paving
brick business in the United States. A
big contractor OF Baltimore was here
today on business with the proposed
enterprise
Clay found on lands Of Mr.. l.. T.
Drifting and Mr. Frank Robins al
North Mountain has been subjected to
the severest tests, demonstrating the
fact that none better is found In the
country for the manufacture or sewer
pipe, thing, all kinds of earthen hol.
low ware. paving brick, etc. There
Is no reason under the sun why these
things should not be made right here
in Berkeley county considering that
the cay is unsurpassed, railroad facil.
titles ample and other conditions fav.
orable.
The visit OF the stranger is fore
runner of the organization OF com
pany. which, it is given out, will soon.
be effected for the establishment OF a
hard brick plant at North Mountain
This Is the primary object and the
proposed tile factory is incidental
thereto. But as the clay alluded to is
equally well adapted for the manu-
facture of 10th products, the one plant
suggests the other.
In the event Of this big brick and
sewer pipe plant being establish
ed (Which at present Is altogether
probably North Mountain will soon
have two important enterprises. one
OF which, Oh least, will be operated by
Berkeley county capital and the other
partially so.
