a bar of iron and bent 1t into
a reaper and with one sweep of
his magic mind broke the shackles
that enslaved labor of generations yet
unborn, and gave mankind freedom
from d~rudgery, n lifted the human
race into a higher zone of life.
AS Nelson organized the English navy
and made England mistress of the sea,
enabling the British Isles to plant her
flag upon every continent washed by
the oceans waves, and to make foot
stools of the Islands of every water,
Morgan organized a banking system
that has made America master of the
worlds finances, brought Kings to our
cashiers windows, the nations of the
earth to our discount desks and placed
under the industries of this nation a
financial system as solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar.
There is no study quite so interest
ing as progress; 40 sound so magic
as the oar of industry and no sight
so Inspiring as civilization in action.
A full realization of Americas part in
the great events of the world past,
present and future will thrill every
human heart with pride, patriotism
and faith in Republican institutions.
Through the courtesy of the Agri-
cultural and Commercial Press Ser
vice, the readers of this paper will be
permitted to study America; her ag-
ricultural, manufacturing and min
eral development, mercantile, bank
ing and transportation systems which
are the wonder of the world. The
first article of the series will deal
with transportation and will appear
at an early date.

BIRD CATCHING CATS
PROBLEM FOR FARMERS

eff in one day the average food Of
a woodpecker or flicker consists OF
5000 insects injurious to the farm,
garden and forest; of a robin, IT'S cat
erpillars; of a meadow lark, hundreds
of insects and thousands of weed
seeds; of a quail, 100 potato bugs
or other devastating insects, and Of
a song sparrow, rs grasshoppers and
spiders, what is the economic value
to the New Jersey farmer in one year
of the cat that frequently catches and
devours in a single day birds of all
these species ?" asks the New Jersey
Fish and Game Commission.
Many farmers, the commission con-
tends, will spend hundreds of dollars
a year in fighting insect pests, and
yet will permit a big family of half
wild cats to roam their farm, subsist-
ing largely upon notwithstanding
birds. Those farmers who attempt to
work out in dollars and cents an an
swer to the above problem, the board
predicts, will view every feline inhab-
liant of the farm as a liability.

The First Tumblers.

The glasses we now know as tumb-
lers differ widely from the drinking
vessel to which the nam was first
applied. These appear to have been
of metal or wood, and from their pc
culiar shape seem to have served as
perpetual reminders to pass the bottle.
One authority says they were called
"tumblers' because they could not be
set down except on the side when
empty; and another derives their name
from their original shape, rounded at
the bottom so that they tumbled over
unless they were carefully set down.

The Proposed Jitney Ordinance.

Editors Pleasantville Press
The proposition now before City
Council to fix a tax rate of $3.50 per
year per seat on the Jitney busses OPP
Grating between Pleasantville and At
lantic City is one that others besides
members of Council should consider
well.
In the first place, this appears to be
a bit of vicious legislation calculated
to so injure the profits of the business
of these men as to clear them out ra-
Their than as an .act to raise revenue.
The animus back of this motive, if
such is the cause, does not speak well
for the personnel of the first City
Council.
Secondly, it appears that the At
lantic and Suburban trolley company,
and the Fast Shore Line company in
fuence may have had much to do with
this bill. Their motive cannot be 9th
er than a spirit of envy, because the
jitney fare to and from Pleasantville
and Atlantic City is exactly the same
as that exacted by the trolley compan-
les.
Now, the citizens of both Atlantic
City and P~leasantville have a decided
interest in the jitney BUSES running
between these two points which can
not safely be overlooked. There is a
certain choice offered the public here
as to whether they shall travel on the
Fast Shore Line, the Atlantic and Su-
burban line or the Jitney busses. The
pleasures of automobile riding are
rev to the average citizen and his
family. Here they may be enjoyed at
a fair price per ride-and the public
are enjoying them.
A City Council that SO lightly
weighs the pleasure of its own towns
people cannot hope to survive another
election day. Instead of d~epriving the
people of a chance for a delightful,
healthful ride in the open air, they
should encourage such an opportunity.
The i~ll-smelling, ill-ventilated car of
either line are not to be preferred to
the Jitney bus as a health-giving car
rier.
Of course, the trolley companies
may lose a few dimes, and again they
may have over-calculated their loss.
1t is an old saying that every business
creates more business, and it cannot
be denied that hundreds-of people
have ridden in the Jitney busses that
would not have left home except for
the "joy ride" contemplated, And
what a "joy ride" it is to one who sell
dom gets away from home cares!
We must not forget that u trolley
companies-(or is it two lines and but
one company?) have done good SER
vice to the public. Their efforts to
please have not been without ou1

SHORE ROAD.
LAND OF QUAINT CUSTOMS
Many Things in THE Cumberland
Mountains That Seem Pc
culiar to Visitors.

The great days in the mountains
generally depend upon the state of the
creek-beds, which are almost the only
roads. In the spring these highways
are flooded and the mountaineer trav-
els very little. 1t is in the autumn
that ~sociability is possible. There are
"corn-shuckings," "baptizings" (often
performed in muddy branch or creek,
and the great camp meeting of the
mountains, the Baptist association.
1t is here in the Cumberlands that
all ramifications of the Baptist belief
f1ourish-Hardshell, Missionary, Iron
clad and others. Every one within
miles attends. They ford the rivers
on horseback, drive along the precar-
ious highways in jolt-wagons; horses,
mules, oxen, are all pressed into SER
vice for this great occasion. Last are
the horse traders, a motley, disrepu-
table crowd, often the worse for too
much "m~oonshine." Armed to the
teeth, they present the appearance of
~desperadoes, and it is safe to assert
that the religious aspect of the camp
meeting has little charm for them.
But perhaps the strangest of all
customs is that of holding the preach
ing services long months after the
burial of the dead. Two years have
sometimes elapsed before the memoir
ial service; in one instance the be-
reaved widow man" sat beside his
second choice, who wept p~rofusely
over the fate of her predecessor
, There are sveral reasons for the post
ponement of the. sermon-one, thai
the preacher is often miles away
and not available until the season ol
good roads.-Christian Endeavol

Editors PIeasantville Press:-
Don't you think that the merchants,
business men and citizens of Pleasant
vile should start now and get to-
gether and place a nice float in Allan
tic City's Big Carnival Parade. Also
have the Boy Scouts, the Camp Fire
Girls and one of the best bands in the
State, namely, the Pleasantville Band,
in attendance to accompany this float.
l, for one, will give my check to help
defray the expense of constructing the
Float, for Personalities showing in
Atlantic City's Big Carnival June "a

for Pleasantville and thousands will
be in Atlantic City for the Carnival.

This is the MOSQUE Of Sultan Hassan

was built about 1860. partly with
stone taken from the Pyramids. Sc
delighted was the sultan with the

EXPLANATION TO PATRONS.

To reassure it's patrons in regard to the purity of its wa
ter, The Pleasantvnle Water &C. makes the following statement.
First, that the present discoloration Of the water is caused by
pumping directly into the mains while the Stand Pipes are being
cleaned and painted. Second, That the slightly noticeable taste
noticed for the past few days has been caused by lining the in
side of the Stand Pipes with a waxy material which contains
nothing deeterious to health ard that this taste will disappear
as soon as the lining has had time to harden.
