LITTLE NEW IN LINE OF FUR
chInehIIla Squirrel the Only Novelty
Worth Mention, and II Promises
to Be Popular.

1t may seem a trife premature to
talk about furs; but, although the
weather is still quite summary. the
large shops already have begun to
display fur garments Of every de-
scription, suitable for the chilly days
Of late fall and even for the regular
winter season.
SO far as can be judged at this
time, there will be little new in the
fur line during the coming season.
OF novelty furs there is so far but
a single achievement which deserves
mention, the chinchilla squirrel This

is a gray squirrel SO treated and tip
ped that It has the softness and much
of the silvery coloring Of chinchilla.
1t seems safe to predict that 1t will
become quite popular,
The French designers of small
furs have sent over charming sets in
this fur, combined with gray silk or
velvet or used alone, and 1t is also
being used on coats and frocks,
though It is not cheap enough to be
used lavishly by the crowd or to be
readily commended.

ASHMEAD MAY BE
LEADER OF FREEHOLDERS
PleasantviIle Legislator Will Be Urg-
ed By Republican Majority.

When the County Board of Chosen
Freeholders meet to organize on jan
uary 1st it is altogether likely that
there will be sizzling contest over
the dictatorship. 1t ought not to be
so sizzling either, as the political
complexion of the board stands 16
Republicans and II Democrats, and
the Republicans are determined to
have a member of their party as di-
rector.
Several candidates are being men
toned for the post, but the most
prominent slated is John P. Ash
mead, of Pleasantville, civil engineer
and lifelong resident of Atlantic
county.
Mr.. Ashmead is being strongly urg-
ed by friends on the board to be a
candidate for director, according to
all reports. That he is qualified for
the position not even his political
opponents are denying Mr.. Ashmead
has served on the board for nearly
a decade, he knows. Atlantic county
conditions from A to z and from At
lantic City to Hammonton. AS a civ
il engineer he stands high.
That the Republicans will be able
to elect him is not seriously doubted,
either. They have a majority of five
and they are practically unanimous,
according to report, in the decision
that a Republican board should have
Republican director.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

The postal officials having notified
US that we cannot send papers
through the mails at newspaper rates
except to paid up subscribers, we shall
be compelled to take from our list all
those who do not pay up. We have
sent out bills repeatedly to subscrib-
ers, some of whom have kindly re-
sponded, while others have paid no
attention to our appeals. We trust
that all our friends and subscribers
who are in arrears will respond
promptly so that we may be able to
keep their names on our list and
send them The Pleasantville Press
each week as heretofore. We are not
making this announcement and appeal
to our subscribers simply because we
want the money, although we need it
bad enough, but because it has been
made imperative by the postal author
tiles and their demand must be obey
ed. The postal authorities say to us
you must do it or you will forfeit
your second-class rate privileges
which means that each paper sent to
a subscriber in arrears must have a
one cent stamp attached to it this
making the cost to US fifty-two cents
year extra for each subscriber.
We trust you will give this your
immediate attention and thus avoid
placing us in most embarrassing
position.

A medical expert. speaking before
the Eugenics Congress. declared he
would rather have a robust burglar
than consumptive bishop for his ia
ther. He should follow up this by the
logical advocacy of the abolition Of
the present state of society in favor
of return to the days Of the cave
men when the physical basis was the
ideal of life. In fact, all the so-called
new thoughts about life and progress
are suspiciously like a return to the
good old times when might was right
and men did not bother with the fine
distinctions of morals and laws.

has long been understood in gem

citation of the most available large
open space having clean air. But
while the curative work goes on,
thousands of more or less able-bodied
persons make no effort to secure indi-
vidual breathing space. They sleep
with closed windows, ride in closed
cars and work in stuffy offices. shops

There are 100000, 900 suns In the
visible universe, for every star is a
sun, and the nearest one is $4,000, ,000,-
100000 miles distant, and there are
some that we can see that are 20 times
further away, and some that we cannot
see with the biggest telescope we can
take a photograph of. Light travels
100000 miles a second, and yet there
are some stars that are SO far away
that the light which started when
Christ was on earth hasn't got here
yet, says the Ohio State Journal. II,
you could shoot a cannon off the near
est star, 1t would take over 100000
years for the sound to reach the

tie? Yes, when we measure by ma
terial things, which we are so apt to
use as standards; but when we think
of the intellect making the calculation
1t makes us seem tall, indeed. But.
there is another important fact about
this subject, which is that all these
stars are rushing through space at
the rate of so to 200 miles a second,
and yet they don't seem to move an
inch in a lifetime, they are SO far
away. And, more, too. they seem to
have a concurrent motion, as if re-
volving around some great center,
which some have regarded as heaven,
which good souls go to. for it should,
be remembered that spirit can go
