TOO NAVY REEERENpA AT GENERAL ELECTION

One aftermath of the recent Legislative session
will be the number of local referenda with which the
November election is TO be complicated. Measures
be submitted to the voters include propositions for
small boards of freeholders, recorders to supplant
justices of the peace, increased pay for fremen,
policemen's pensions and numerous ordinances in
volying expenditure of money These side issues are
apt TO affect elections for congressman and other
important offices with which they have nothing to do
and some OF the results may furnish argument for
returning to the old system of separate State and
municipal election days.

Cult Of the Guest Room

1--WE remembered, I've remembered
The new embroidered spread,
The towels cross-stitched in designs
OF navy blue and red.
Ii always seems so much too small,
The guest towel of today
Perhaps that's why the modern guest
Won't make longer stay
I've remembered, I've remembered
The nosegay, stiff and tight
The reading lamp with cretonne shade
That throws CHASTITY light.
The Kind Words calendar I've hung,
And by the handgass set
Some bargain sale cologne-oh, dearl
The price marks on it yet!
I've remembered, I've remembered
Pink seaing-wax TO bring.
Removed cache of spoons from 'twxt
The mattress and the spring
Sleep Sweet Within This Quiet Room
I've had reframed; I've bought
For bedside books Jane Eyre Lucille
And Gems of Modern Thought
I've remembered, I've remembered
lot of details small
That | am very sure no guest
Would ever want at all.
But twould be shocking ignorance
OF fashion journals chat
To aim for Solid Comfort here,
And let it go at that"

Rio Fire at Riyerton.

Riverton was visited by the worst fire
in its history early on Friday morning.
]. S. Collins & Sons brick building,
opposite the railroad station, was COM
pletely destroyed, with the contents of
the several stores, including B. G. Wor-
rell's plumbing Office and warehouse,
John j. Adolphs cigar store, Cramer q
and Rogers store and Albert McCombs
tailoring place.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
When it was discovered by Officers Mil
Ter and Quigley at $50 a. m. it had gain
ed considerable Roadway and all the
back part of the building, in the rear OF
Adolph's and Collins stores, was ablaze,
though it appeared to come from the
cellar and it is thought by some that the
blaze was occasioned by placing hot
ashes in wooden box in the basement.
Fire alarms were sent to Palmyra,
Moorestown and Riverside, which towns
sent their fire companies and helped
save the William n. Maths butcher shop
and Joseph T. Evans large building,
across the street, which caught on the
roof.
The fire had gained such Roadway
before being discovered that none of the
stocks of the stores or warehouses were
saved, and only the Collins people saved
even the books, although IL. G. Worrell's
books are in the safe, now in the ruins.
The Collins loss was roughly estimat-
ed by Irving Collins at between $4,000
and S12 200, the direct loss being covered
by insurance.
H. c. Worrell thought his loss to be
about s., 600 on which he thought he had
So, 900 insurance.
John J. Adolph claims loss of about
81, 900 on which he has 81 200 insurance.
Albert McComb had no insurance.
His loss is about $3.50.
No estimate could be obtained of the
Cramer & Rogers loss but the stock OF
the store, which was as it was when
closed several months ago, was complete
| ly destroyed.
MIR. Collins stated that new building,
similar to the one destroyed, would be
erected as soon as possible. His business
orders will be filled from his Moorestown
and Riverside plants.
This telegraph wires of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company near the Col
Inns building were destroyed, but the
company had large repair gang early
on the ground and soon had them in
working order.

Scholars TO take Census.


Farmers, get ready, the census takers
are coming around soon. This does not
mean that the regular census men will
descend upon us before 1920, but that the
pupils in the public schools are going to
canvass the county for farm census.
This plan is one that was originated by
William r. George, of the George Junior
Republic, at Freeville, N. Y, and has
been tried out successfully in several
schools in that State. Mr.. George wants
to give the Boys and Girls chance to
do something for u.s..
The State Board of Agriculture and
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
want to get crop and market statistics
for this county, and frequently send out
blanks to fill out. 1t is impossible to
get complete returns in this way
Daddy" Georges plan is to have the
boys and girls in the rural school gather
the facts wanted in their own districts,
SO that the pupils in each school find
out the things we want to learn about,
in the territory covered by that partic-
ular school. This plan has been author
lied by the directors of the county Board
OF Agriculture, and has the sanction of
County Superintendent Stees. 1t also
has been endorsed by DR.. Liberty HI.
Bailey, former Dean of the New York
State College of Agriculture, at Cornell.
The county Board of Agriculture wants
to try it out in this county, which will
be the frst county in this country to
get it working.
The accomplishment of this school
census will be help both to the Govern
ment and to the boys and girls. While
no compensation can be offered, thu
young folks will certainly benefit by ths
information and the responsibility. /
will make them more observing anc
more interested in their communit,
affairs, and will connect the schools will
