LIVE WIRE VICTIMS.
Quickness In Rescuing Them From
Contact Is Essential.

Contact is Essential.
For his own benefit and that of his
comrades the scout should know how
to avoid accidents from electricity.
The third rail is always dangerous, so
do not touch it. Swinging wires Of
any kind may somewhere in their
course he in contact with live wires,
30 they should not be touched.
A person in contact with wire or
rail carrying an electric current will
transfer the current to the rescuer.
Therefore he must not touch the unfor-
tunnte victim unless his own body Is
thoroughly insulated The rescuer must
act very promptly. for the danger to
the person in contact Is much increas-
ed the longer the electric current is al
lowed to pass through mis- body. IL
possible the rescuer should insulate
himself 10y covering his hands with a
macintosh, rubber sheetihg, several
thicknesses of silk or even dry cloth.
In addition. lie should If possible com.
plete his insulation by standing on n
dry board thick piece Of paper or
rubber shoes or boots are still safer,
but they cannot usually be procured
quickly
If live wire Is under q person and
the ground is dry it will be perfectly
safe to stand on the ground and pull
him off the wire with the bare hands,
care being taken to touch only his
clothing, and this must not be wet.
live wire lying on a patient may
be dipped off with safety with dry
board or stick. In removing the live
wire from the person or the person
from the wire do this with one mo.
I ton, as rocking him to and fro on the
wire will increase shock and burn.
live wire may be safely cut with
an nx or Ratchet with dry wooden
handle, The electric current may be
short circuited by dropping crowbar
| or poker on the wire. This must be
| dropped on the side from which the
current Is coming and not on the far
ther side, as the latter will not short
circuit the current before it has passed
through the body of the person In con.
tact. Drop the metal bar; do not place
1t on the wire or you will then be made
n part of the short circuit and receive
the current of electricity through your
body.-From boy Scouts of America"

Horseshoers' Meeting.

A meeting of the newly-organized
Burlington County Horseshoers' Asso-
citation was held in Red Mems hall,
Mount Holly, on Wednesday night, and
was called to order by ex-national Presi.
dent William E. Murphy.
Four new members were admitted tc
membership, SO that now 81 of the As
shops in the county are in the organiza'
ton.
Uniformity in the prices to be charged
for horse shoeing was the principal topic
of discussion. The idea is to fix a fail
price and have it the same all over the
county. 1t is not the intention to in.
crease the usual standard price, but
merely to make it uniform. There has
been as yet, the speakers said, no increase
in charges for blacksmith work, while
other trades have had a raise for all
kinds of work.
Another object of the association is to
have credit list, similar to those issued
by merchants, which will shut out dead
beats.
Another meeting will be held on Sep
tember at the same place.

Merchants Picnic.

Thursday promises to be big day al
Rancocas Park, the occasion being the
annual picnic of the Mount Holly mer.
chants. Business will be generally sus-
pended during the afternoon and even
ing, most of the stores and business
places closing at noon and the drug stores
at 80; the latter will reopen at $50.
Dancing will be the principal feature
during the evening.
The Perseverance band, of Philadel.
phia, has been engaged to furnish music
during the afternoon. Several OF the
merchants decided to try to secure enough
funds to engage a band, and in short
time they had the amount needed and
the band engaged, which will greatly
add to the pleasure of the day. The
band will be at the park at two o'clock,
when the events of the afternoon will
promptly begin.
The athletic contests at the park will
take place before the ball game, begin
ming at o'clock sharp, consisting OF
sack races, three-legged race, running
races for ladies, 100-yard dash for clerks,
jumping contests, base ball throwing
contest, wheelbarrOw race and backward
race.
Then, promptly at $50, the base ball
game between the merchants and
printers will take place. Both teams
feel confident of carrying off the victory.
The series between these teams stand a
tie, two games each, and this years game
promises to be unusually interesting.
Rev. William K. Zimmerman, of Lum-
berton, has been chosen as umpire.
Harry Hawkins, Jr., will be the official
score keeper, and William A. Slaughter
will be historian of the struggle.

Voting at the Primaries.

No change was made in the primar,
election law by the last Legislature, anC
the time for holding the same and tn,
qualifications for voting thereat remair
the same. The primaries, at which can
didates for Congress, the Legislature
and county officers will be nominated
will be held on the second registry day
in all municipalities in this state, - which
is ''the fourth Tuesday of September in
each year" The fourth Tuesday falls
lupon September %, on which day the
district boards of registry and election
will sit between the hours of o'clock in
the morning and o'clock in the even
ing.
Voters are required to announce their
names and the party primary in which
they wish to vote. The registration
officers must then ascertain ''by refer
ence to the primary registry book re-
quired by this act, and if necessary by
reference to the primary book or poll
book of the preceding primary or general
election that said voter is registered as
required by this act, and also that he
did not vote in the primary Of the other
political party at the last preceding
primary election: in which event he
shall be allowed to vote.
No voter will be allowed to vote at the
primary unless his name appears on the
poll book of the last general election or
has been placed thereon prior to the
primary day. In municipalities con-
tanning 5000 inhabitants or less, the
board of registry and election will make
up the registry by house to house can
vass; and this list, after having been re-
vised and corrected by the county board
of elections on the Friday succeeding
the first registry day, will be used at the
primary election.
In cities, towns, townships, boroughs
and villages having a population ex-
|ceeding 5000, voters who did not vote at
the last general election, and whose
names do not appear on the poll book,
may register on the first registry day,
which will be the second Tuesday in
|September, the 8th. The law directs the
boards to also place upon said primary
registry list, and also upon the registry
list to be prepared for use at the general
election, the names of all voters who
shall appear in person upon said first
registry day." and also ''place upon said
primary registry lists (but not upon said
general election registry list the names
of all voters presented to said board by
affidavit, as now required by law"
In brief, only those may vote at the
September primary who voted at the
last November election or whose names
are added to the registry list on the first
registration day; and no voter who voted
in the primary of one political party
last year will be permitted to assist in
selecting the candidates of another po-
litical party this year. The intent Of
the law is that one party shall not be
interfered with by another.

George Bozarth, our popular freehold
er, got this one off recently. A physi-
clan was once called in by native here
who had very sick mother-in-law.
After looking into the case carefully the
Nj. d. called the man aside and said
"Well, the only thing | can suggest is
that you send your mother-in-law to
warmer climate. The man disappeared
and came back with an axe moment
later, and exclaimed: Here, doctor, you
kill her. 1 really haven't the heart"
Joe Emmons, when in Philadelphia
recently, purchasing meat for his store
here, attended the funeral of a China
man and took great deal of interest in
the queer services at the grave, and no
ticed that, among other things, roasted
duck was left there by the departing
mourners. Calling one of the Chinks
aside, he asked, why did you leave
that duck on the grave? Do you think
the dead man will come and eat it?''
"Yeppe," replied the Boxer sympathizer,
''allee samee as white deadee man come
out and smellee flowers"
"When hear an agent trying to win

We'll, l wanted you to employ homeo-
pathic doctor, and this is what you get
for calling an allopath. Next time you
will listen to me. f"
Two of our local celebrities met recent
ly and as both looked the worse for wear,
they inquired solicitously of each other,
"What's the matter with your "Ague;
what's your trouble?' Same thing"
"Good. Let's shake for the drinks"

Medford.

At the recent centennial celebration of
the erection of the Friends meeting
house, on Union street, there were about
500 persons present. Joshua S. Wills
and Mary V. Evens read historical papers
and Lydia Wilkins read an essay on the
subject, "Where there is no vision the
people perish" Zebidee Haines, of
West Chester, spoke about early rem
iniscences in the society's history. The
Orthodox Friends had their beginning
here as far back as 1853, when those who
had felt the effects of persecution in their
native land naturally fled to a place of
freedom for the oppressed, settled about
Medford and organized what was then
known as the Friends Preparative Meet
ing of Upper Evesham. They were the
adherents of the religious tenets pro
mulgated by George Fox. They pur
chased ground, built meeting house
and school house. Their first meeting
house was small wooden structure
sufficiently large for the then sparsely
populated community. In 1914 thu
present two-story brick meeting hous'
was erected.

NJ. Buttman, of Chatsworth, was ar
rested, on Friday, for cruelty to a horse
and fined 800 and costs. The animal
was shot. Buttman, after spending a
night in Jail, was released under S2OC
bail.
Within the last week or two there have
been several disorders out Washington
street, in one of which a man was SC
badly cut up that it was necessary to
take him to the hospital. There are two
or three disorderly places knowledge OF
which is said to be in possession of the
police. Whose move is it to look after
them, the chief of police or the prosecu-
tor of the pleas?
An unknown man, about 40 years of
age, weight about 140 pounds, dark COM
plection, was found wandering in the
vicinity of Red Lion by Sheriff Jordan,
on Saturday, and brought to jail. The
mans mind is unbalanced. His cloth
ing was torn and tattered he wore no
shoes, and his hair and beard weresin an
unkempt condition. He probably may
have escaped from some asylum.
Policeman Myers had hurry call to
Hainesport Saturday evening when 1T
was reported that Polander had beaten
his wife and left her lying on the base
ball diamond in an unconscious condi-
ton. Bob went down in an automobile
and when the man saw the machine he
took to the woods and soon lost the Of
ficer. Myers ordered the auto back to
Mount Holly and he stayed around and
when the man he was after thought the
coast was clear he came out from the
woods and then there was chase through
back yards and over brush heaps until
the officer landed his man and brought
him to jail. 1t seems the fellow lost
about $50 at poker Friday evening and
when he asked his wife for little more
cash to help win back, she refused and
then she got her beating.
