NJ, one of the strongest fraternal organ

Pleasantville, is enjoying boom in its
membership, applicants being initiated
at nearly every meeting. The work is
beautiful, and the manner in which the
degrees are given is an inspiration to
those receiving them:
Many people have things that they no
longer have use for, but keep them in
the house taking up room and doing no
one any good. Better sell OF trade off
things you don't want. Advertise them
and you will find that there are people
ready to take them and pay cash, or
trade for them. You will find it easy
through the cent-a-word column of The
Press.
Frank B. Hubin has recently sent cop
les of The Press to various parts of the
United States and several copies to Eu-
rope, In letter to the editors he says:
1T win help boom Pleasantville if sub
scribers, after reading their Press would
mail the copy to some friend. Publicity
always booms a town." Mr. Hubin is
quite right and we would be glad to
have his suggestion adopted by our
friends.
An exchange says: THE liar whom
the editor hates more than all is the
man who, when dunned for a years sub
scription, says he only received two or
three copies during the year and refuses
to pay, Next to, if not above this one,
the editor hates liar who takes the pa
per seven or eight years and, when final
Iy corncred for settlement, says he new
er ordered the paper at ALL But the
worst liar of the whole lot is the man
who takes the paper several years, then
moves away without paying or saying
anything about it, and yet says he is an
honest man. But there are others. For
instance, the man who is two or three
years behind on his paper and pays one
years subscription, and a year later.
when dunned says he paid for last year,
and doesn't owe but one year. Breth-
ren, we all fall short on the truth. The
biggest liar of the whole lot is the editor
who publishes the obituary of the afore-
said liars and intimates that they have
gone to heaven
