WHO WILL Be
DOG WARDEN?
South Amboy Has Position
Open for Somsone.

PNtft ~ WV - - " ~ ~
South Amboy, June 20:-Who In
this city will make the application to
the committee for the position of
dog warden, now that the committee
has advertised for one? Is there no
glory in serving for ones city, as well
as ones country? This position re-
quires a young, active man same as
1t does to be a soldier, therefore We
are debarred from laying our ] :
upon the altar of our city and say 3
we will step in the breach and rid
South Amboy of one of its greatest
foes-the dog at large.
We all know how we have been
annoyed by the o~verturning of our
garbage receptacles; how we stormed
about our council, why they did not
pass an ordinance, In reference to
the determination of the useless ours.
Yes, we have had considerable to say
on this line, but then we remember
ed war times when men of similar
age were patriotic.
Council has given us a good dog
law and appointed a warden. The
mayor has issued his proclamation,
but, alas, who Is to lead the forlorn
hope. The warden, like many Off
GERS in the war, has resigned his
commission.
Now, who is the young man or
men who will come forward and offer
their services for the love of their
own city and at the same time I'll
their Golfers with the gold that gilt
tereth. A commission will be grant
ed upon application to either NCoun-
cilmen Stuart or Manhattan.

All silvery fish were in reality merely
mirrors In the water, rejecting the
