At the beginning of last week stranger
appeared in this town, and seeing lot oil
idle laborers standing around, decided to
try a money making scheme, and to say
that he made good, is putting 1t easy for
when he left he had made himself richer
by $105 Taking the trolley to JacknerS
farm, near the Kinkora station, he told
Jackner he was a contractor from Eere,
and was looking for timber which he
wanted for fence rails. Jackner told him
there was no available timber. Then he
inquired if there were any stones for sale,
as he also was making stone road here.
Jackner told him that he could take all
he wanted to cart away, so he came back
and secured the services of about thirty
laborers. He brought them back and put
them to work, but before doing this each
man gave him two dollars as a promise of
good faith. There were two among this
crowd that had $53 between them, and
hearing of this he told them he was going
back to get his tools at the local railroad,
and needed the money they had, as he
claimed they had refused to cash a check
for him there. This money with what he
had already collected, must have satisfied
him. as he was never seen after that. In
quirY at the railroad revealed that no one
had asked to have check cashed there.
The laborers are mourning the loss of their
hard-earned money and are aching for a
chance to get back at the greatest fraud
who ever struck this section.

nisastrons Fire.

The sky was brilliantly illuminated or
Friday night at II o'clock by an incen
diary fire which destroyed the large barns
on the farm owned and occupied by Wilbur
Engle, on the road leading from Medford
to Chsirville. Mr.. Engle says his insur'
ance looks very small when compared to
his loss, which will amount to over ten
thousand dollars.
Those who first discovered the trouble
could see that the fire had been started in
the COW barn, and the help at hand did
what they could In saving the horses,
mules and COWS.
Fearing that his stock would perish, Mr..
Engle got into his automobile and started
for assistance. While crossing straw
berry patch he saw that sparks were
falling on his house. He jumped from the
machine without shutting off the power
and the auto continued on course of its
own while he ran back. A hired man was
sent out and be finally recovered the car,
stopping the flow of gasoline and leaving
1t in the field.
Realizing the serious nature of the fire,
Mr.. Engle telephoned to Mount Holly for
assistance. Chief Kempte was found, and
getting together some members of the
Relief Fire company, their engine and
hose carriage was made ready for the long
drive, which is only two farms from Chair
vile. After mature elaboration the fire.
men decided not to go, on the ground that
they could not arrive in time to be of any
assistance.
The fire made a pretty clean sweep.
The buildings were in good shape, and
the contents destroyed consisted Of all the
harness, one COW, 40 hens, 80 sheep. a
number of pigs and calves, S., 500 worth
of fertilizer, 800 bushels of corn, 40 tons
of hay, 100 sacks of seed potatoes, entire
crop of sweet potatoes, truck shelvings,
gas plant, all machinery, large pile of
wood, new carriage that cost $175 and
many other things.

Keep ON Boiling.

The local Board of Health received q
communication from the State Board, on
Friday, showing the conditions In the
water supply as disclosed by an investi.
cation of affairs at Browns Mills. The
result of the examination at that place
shows that it is absolutely necessary for
places below the resort to use every pre-
caution in the use of drinking water. The
report of our local Board that the Rancocas
creek is nothing but sewer is confirmed
and the necessity for continuing the boil
ing of water is plain. The letter is as
follows:
Board of Health of the State
of New Jersey.
Trenton, March %. 1912
Mr.. James B. Riley
Browns Mills-in-the-Pines, N. ].
At a meeting of the Board of Health of
the State OF new Jersey, held March 26,
1919, report by representative of this
Board as TO inspection of your sewage
disposal plant, at Browns Mills-in-the-
Pines, made on March 16, 1912, was pre-
scented. The following statements were
made in said report:
THE concrete work Is now completed
and the siphon set. The underdrains are
placed and the broken stones are now
being placed in the contact beds. AS soon
as the stone are all placed, which will be
in few days, the connection will be made
with the sewer and the plant put in opera
ton. The hypochlorite has been secured
and is already at the plant and temporary
dosing apparatus will be put in until per-
manent arrangements can be made for the
application of the disinfectant.
Today the creek was OVERLOOKING its
banks and the swamp, into which the
sewage has been running, was completely
flooded. A considerable amount Of the
material which had previously collected
in the swamp had been washed out into
the stream. The manholes have not been
constructed and considerable ground
water enters the sewer through them"
This communication is forwarded to
you for the purpose of calling your atten-
tion to the great risk of pollution of the
Rancocss creek from conditions above
to.
Very respectfully,
BRUCE S. KEAToR,
Secretary.

part which shows that the material which
had collected on the ground had been
swept into the stream That statement

If arrangements were made by which the
police could have free use of the tele-
phones in the Bell boxes in the perform
ance of their duty, they would be less
handicapped. A case in question occur
red Friday night. Policeman Collins had
occasion to communicate with the jail In
connection with man he was watching.
The operator at the exchange would not
let him have the call until he placed five
cents in the slot, so the officer hung up
the receiver, not being willing to use his
own money for that purpose. The opera.
tor is not to be censured in this connection
as there was no more reason for her tC
pay out five cents than there was for the
policeman to give up the coin. If there
was a suspicious character around il
would not have caused Collins much in
convenience to pay the five cents and thu
| township committee would certainly have
out five cents than to let suspicious
character escape.

WHY he is SUPPORTING HAN
NA--HAs BIC HEART, BROAD
EXPERIENCE.

Lisbon, n. D., June 14.-To The
Forum: Primary election day is fast
drawing near. Some one will be de-
clared q nominee for governor on the
republican ticket, and there is one man
whom would like to have the nomi-
nation, Hon. Il. B. Hanna. Ny long
acquaintance with him has proved to
me that he is a. man who is strictly
honest, always true to his friends, a
man OF ability and If elected governor
OF this state would give us a splendid
business administration. l have moth
ing to say about the character, the
honesty and integrity of Mr.. Buchan-
an. He posses these high characters
TICS or gentleman, but has not had
the experience either in political life or
business career that Mr.. Hanna has
had. So adding Mr.. Hanna's legisla-
tive experience onto his other perfec-
lions we Will have a man that cannot
be equaled in this state. / see that
his public record as a legislator is
being published. / would like to find
a man who has served as many ses-
sions of a legislature as Mr.. Hanna
has, that has not made some mistakes.
notice this howl is coming from
a lot of men who trained in Mr.. Han
mas political camp during these years
and sustained him, supported him
from year to year. 1t was all right
with them as long as they were on
the band wagon. They have fallen off
and now want to blame Mr.. Hanna
for standing true, firm for the prin-
ciples he believed in. There is one
thing / always admire in any man
that he has mind of his own and
sticks to what he believes to be right.
Mr.. Hanna has made a splendid rec
ord as representative to congress. No
man ever elected to congress has done
more for his constituency in four
years than Hon. L. B. Hanna. can
not learn of a single person who ever
wrote him q letter asking for infor-
nation, or for something that Mr..
Hanna could do, but what has got a
quick response. know scores of
men who had hard luck in the early
days in this country, that Mr.. Hanna
came to their help and brought them
safely through and many of them have
made a success because Of this assis-
tance when needed. / never heard of
his foreclosing a mortgage on any liv-
ing soul. Mr.. Hanna has great big
heart, going out to all. am support
ing him because of these things and
that he is staunch friend of our
state prohibition law and it's enforce
ment. Prominent temperance workers
at Washington who are there looking
after temperance legislation have writ
ten me that Mr.. Hanna has been the
most valuable man they had there, so
hope all temperance and prohibition
workers will support him at the pri-
mary election. M. II. Kiff.

CHILDREN'S DAY AT
CONGREGATIONAL
THE LITTLE FOLKS OF THE SUM-

AND REGULATIONS AND AD-
AND pREcITATIoNs AND AD-
DRESS BY PASTOR.

Children's day was most appropri-
Rtely observed at the First Congrega-
tional church yesterday morning and
there was a large attendance, the audi
forium being filed.
The church was beautifully decorat-
ed with flowers and plants and the
altar and pulpit presented a hand
some appearance, the work having
been done by the ladies of the con-
gregation. There were beautiful ex-
ercises given by the little ones, the
programme being given in this paper
Saturday and it was well carried out.
1t was one Of the prettiest services
ever held by the children of this de-
nomination. During the morning Rev.
Or. r. A. Beard, pastor of the church
gave a delightfully."- interesting talk
that was just suited to the children
and he was listened to most atten-
lively.

AFTER FROM THE FORUM
BIBLE.

Did you ever hear of the sunshine
society?
Such an organization exists and its
object is to incite it's members to the
performance of kind and helpful deeds.
They also bring the sunshine of hap
piness to the hearts of homes Of shut
ms" or those who through some un-
fortunate circumstance are shut up in
the home.
Did you ever notice how the face
of child lights up when you smile
at 1t as you pass on the street? Your
smile as a ray Of sunshine for the lit
tie one.
There are many kind and helpful
deeds that bring sunshine and hapri-
ness to others and usually cost less
effort that the gloomy look.
A member of the Sunshine society
recently got several copies IF the Illus
trated Bible which the Forum s. Re-
publican offers to its readers. She said
she wanted to present them to some
little "shut-ins" who would be amused
by the beautiful pictures distributed
throughout the volume.
While thus being amused one also
acquires a wealth of Bible lore that
will be of rare value. For indeed the
Bible is an educational work. Abra-
ham Lincoln said that hardly a quo
tation was used that did not have its
origin in this great book of books.
If you want to brighten the path of
some poor unfortunate present him
with this magnificent copy of the BIZ
BILE. 1t will be a ray of sunshine not
soon to be forgotten.
You may find out all about the plan

1T WILL TAKE CONSIDERABLE
MONEY TO DEFRAY THE EX-
PENsEs OF THE BIG cELEsRA-
TioN FOR THE FARGO Chill
DREN.

1t is hoped that the present week
will be productive Of much money
rolling into the safe and sane Fourth
of July committee of the Fargo Com
mercial club, as the time is drawing
near and the money should be in sight
The committee has made great plans
for this celebration for the children Of
Fargo and about $140 is yet needed
to carry out the programme. 1t is
known that the committee has decided
to have a parade and that the Fargo
council Of the Travellers will be in it
and will act as an escort to the chill
dren. The committee will furnish each
child with a basket which will contain
sandwiches, some fruit and fire crack
ers, and in addition will have lemon
ade where it can be had free of charge
by all.
The funds for this have been raised,
but the committee wants to give the
youngsters some genuine simon-pure
dyed in the wool Fourth and fireworks
in the evening will be just the fitting
ending Of the day. 1t is also desirable
to have the band for the evening, and
| that is why the additional 5000 is be-
| iEg raised. 1t is most earnestly hoped
that any one who has 81 to spare will
let the fact be known at once and
send the money either to the CONNER
cial club or to The Forum. The fol-
