PAINT up
CLEAN UP

Next week is the time especially ar
ranged for cleaning up Bridgeton,
making it a spotless town. The Su-
bruban Planning Association of Phila-
delphia, has issued the following list
of suggestions for that locality. Why
not use them here:
l.. Love your neighbor's lot as you
do your own, but be sure to love your
own.
2. Don't plant tomato cans and rub
bish On unused land; their fruits are
withered civic pride
8. Don't allow yourself or your city
to create dumps. Waste can be made
to pay for it's own destruction at a
profit.
4. Don't allow tumbled down build
ings to stand on valuable land; they
are financially wasteful; they create
filth, invite vice and are a menace to
life.
S. A fence that has ceased to be a
fence and has become an offense
should be repaired or destroyed.
6. Unregulated advertising on un-
used lands pays for the maintenance
of public nuisance.
Z. Two gardens may grow where
one dump has bloomed before.
s. School gardens are valuable ad-
juncts to education and recreation.
They can be cultivated on an open lot.
9. Let the children play on the un-
used land so that they may become
strong and keep out of the hands Of
the law
10. Let not an inch of land be kept
in idleness. 1t has a Divine right to
bear fruits, and flowers, and ever
serve the highest interest of man.

OFFER To CITY
is WITHDRAWN

Some months ago, when City Coun-
Gil was considering the future proba-
bility of extending Washington st.
west from Cohansey street, william
A. Logue, Esq, said that he had a
fifteen feet strip of land on the north
side of the proposed street, adjoining
the property of Moses Braunstein run
ming from Cohansey street to the Ar
mory lot which he would sell to the
city for $3.50. He had been repeatedly
offered considerable more, but he
felt it should belong to the city.
Councilmen informally expressed
themselves that it would be very de-
sirable for the city to have the prop
erty providing for future street. Up
on this fifteen feet strip, the Braun
stein bottle factory extends out six
feet making an ugly obstruction in
the street
Acting upon suggestion of Council
men, Mr.. Logue rendered deed to
the city for the strip at $3.50, which
was nominal charge of $40 a front
foot.
Councilman Hettinger thought this
was too much money and expressed
the opinion that the city was NOT
obliged to buy piece of property at
any price fixed upon it when anyone
offered it. The majority of City Coun-
Gil expressed themselves that the city
should buy the property, but after
some captious suggestions, the deed
was referred to Corporation Counsel
F.. A. Stanger, Jr., for investigation.
Mr.. Stanger reported to City Coun-
Icil last night that he had not made
the investigation because Mr.. Logue
had withdrawn his offer and had re-
quested the return of his deed. which
had been followed.
1t is quite likely that in the future
the city will very much desire this
important bit of property ,and if Mr..
Logue sells the lot to Mr.. Braunsiein
or other parties, the city will pay
considerably more than $40 per front
foot for the lot.

THE C. E.
CONVENTION

The date for the County Christian
Endeavor Convention, which was set
for May 18th, has been changed to the
26th. This ingathering of the young
church workers and some of the old
er ones, too, will be held in the Ced-
arville Baptist Church.
This change of date was made by
the County Executive Committee,
when they met in the Library Build
ing on Monday night. and was con-
sidered necessary because of the Mill
vile revival meetings.
County President Roscoe Tullis op-
ened the Monday night meeting with
prayer, after which the reports of the
several committees were heard.
Miss Edna Horner read her report
to the State Convention, held at New
ak on March 5th, and told of this
gathering.
The work which the local union is
doing was reported by Samuel Price.
The Program Committee outlined
the plans made for the County Con-
veniion, which include special cars
from Bridgeton to Cedarville.
Afternoon and evening sessions will
be held end supper provided by the
entertaining church will be served.

The statement which recently
cropped out in brokers' offices that
strong men were buying stocks in an
ticipation OF a Republican triumph
next year was received with incredul
ity by most people at first, but it pro-
duces conviction now. Brokers say
that they know of many instances
where buyers have taken this long
shot and that the feeling is on the in
crease. Persons they never have
known as spectators have been call
ing them up lately and ordering
stocks, and old customers who had
been almost forgotten are returning
to their former haunts.
Largely this new enthusiasm has
been created by the phenomenal rise
in the prices of stocks affected by the
purchase of war munitions, but many
other stocks have Joined in the ad-
vance, and this movement could not
have come except on the anticipation
of better things than We are now en-
joying. Outside of the war business,
industry has not improved nor have
the railroads gained in the volume of
their traffic. 1t is on account of fu-
ture improvement that the bulk of the
popular buying is now based, and one
of the principal motives is the expec-
tation of a national political change.
Nor are discerning people deceived
by the glorification of the increase in
our foreign commerce and the favor
able balance of trade. That is the
one thing that the Administration is
exploiting to show the country how
prosperous it is, and when it is neces-
sary to dwell on that to the exclusion
of a domestic commerce a thousand
times more important the weakness
of the case is clearly seen.
The new political enthusiasm has
led to something like hurry-up call
to the supporters of various candl-
dates for the Republican nomination.
In this States the friends of Senator
Sherman are active and there appears
to be a good deal of manipulation to
secure a proper support for him,
among the steps being the selection
Iof a good man for Governor. 1t is
appreciated by skilful politicians that
a batch of nominations is apt to be
accepted or rejected in the lump and
they want the lump this time to be as

BIT OF EXCITEMENT

Somebody heard something last
night in the rear of the First Presby-
terian Church building. Somebody
thought there was robbery. The
policemen were notified. The sleuths
with about one hundred citizens steal
thily crept toward the church, sur
rounded the property and then closed
in upon the place. When tight ring
had circled the property it was found
that couple of fellows were sitting
under big tree in the yard in the rear
of the church drinking beer from
bottles, the parties having bag filled
with it. Then the policemen and the
crowd went away. That was all there
was to it.

HONEST
ADVERTISING
Mail Order Houses Play
Bad Game.
PEOPLE ARESTUNC
Local Advertising Can Be at
Once Investigated by the
Customers.
A member of one of the large Chi

A member OF one of the large Chi
cago advertising agencies recently
said: Honest advertising is being
given severe blow by the mail order
houses" When asked for an expla-
nation he declared that advertising,
to remain on high level must assure
the customer an article which is ex-
actly as expected.
THAT is something the mail order
houses are not doing" he added $50
many customers are being deceived
by mail order advertising and buying
SO much stuff that does not come up
to representation that they are losing
faith
Now, what the Chicago advertising
man says meets exactly the Chicago
or large center situation. He is tell
ing of situation that the honest
manufacturers or jobber in the large
cities is facing, due to fraudulent
methods on the part of the mail order
houses But these same fraudulent
practices in an advertising way only
strengthen the position of the local
merchant.
The local merchant adyertises his
bargains, and the customers can step
into the store and see if the adver-
tised representations are true. No
fraud can be practiced by the home
retailer What he offers for sale must
be exactly what he says it is through
the columns of the local newspaper
The oftener the people of our COM
munity who patronize the mail order
houses get "stung" in their purchases
the sooner they will come back to the
old basis of being strictly home buy
ers. What Abraham Lincoln said
Adopt "fooling the people" is true in
the merchandising fields as, we'll as
in others, and the mail order institu-
tions are the ones who are going to
find out the truth of it. They can't
continue to conduct fraudulent adver-
tising methods and retain. the conf
dence of their customers. However,
the very thing they are doing is af-
fording the home merchants the very
best instrument of warfare in fighting
the mail order evil.

REPUBLICANS
OPTIMISTIC
Republicans Encouraged
at Prospects.
STRONG CURRENT
Believe Results of Chicago EIec-
ton Present Accurate Fore
cast for the Future.

The Philadelphia Ledger staff cor
respondent sends to his paper the fol-
lowing correspondence:
Chicago, April 19.-At a little dis
tance from the event one can see more
clearly than at first the significance
apd effect of the recent Republican
triumph in the Mayorality election of
Chicago. The evidence is not found
chiefly in Chicago itself, but it is
gained by Chicago men who vis t
other parts of the country. 1t is all
to one purport, that the election here
means to the minds of millions of peo-
pie Republican victory in 1916, and
that far-seeing business men are act
ing on that conviction.
Fred w. Upham, president of the
Consumers Company of this city, is
just back from a trip to the East. and
is most enthusiastic in his statements
as to the impression made on the pub
lie mind. Mr.. Upham is Republican,
but he is no longer in politics. and,
as he judges affairs from a business
mans point of view, his statements
are of much interest and value. He
cited the testimony of a number of
men whose knowledge and Judgment
are entitled to respect, that Chicago's s
choice of Mayor means the country
ci,f:ce of Republican for President
OF course, all understand that there
are many factors back of that choice
which do not relate exclusively to
this city-protest against the present
tariff policy. revolt against unemploy-
ment and demand for broad construc-
tive craftsmanship, such as that which
has distinguished some of the Repub-
lcan Administrations.
