People Are Not
Investing

That is all the more reason why investments must
be exceptional to interest them. But capital is loosen
ing up in anticipation of the greatest boom this country
has ever known. 1t is, however, utterly useless to at
tempt to interest investors unless the investment re-
presents something absolutely sound, something excep-
tional, something of big returns and guaranteed future.
1t must be something that will interest the speculator of
big profits and also something that appeals to the con-
sentative, hardened investor.
Such an investment has just been offered to the
public on a tempting basis. Investors are offered the
opportunity to investigate this sound business invest
ment, where assured returns of from 100 per cent to
800 per cent are practically certain but where possibili-
ties are unlimited; a world enterprise founded upon a,
staple business but branching out into a fabulously rich
field never before capitalized, where the profits are enor-
nous and where there is no competition; an investment
in a new industry monopolizing the richest field of the
most lucrative business in the world. Think what this
means!
1t is practically certain that every investor originally
interested in this enterprise will get handsome returns
on their money regardless of the amount invested; re-
turns out Of all comparison to dividends earned on any
other safe investment. The small investor of today
will be the rich owner of tomorrow.
This opportunity is offered investors on a ground
floor basis, a basis pursuant of a broad business policy
for mutual advantage and cooperation, founded upon
the same principle as the cooperative plan of all big
businesses of today. Nothing like this investment has
ever been offered the public before, nor has anything
like this world enterprise ever been approximated before.
This you can readily appreciate upon investigation.
Investors are readily taking advantage of this OPP
portunity given them on such a liberal basis. The big
gest and shrewdest men in the country are investing in
it as well as the investor of limited means. The chance
is yours too: Act today before this offering is taken up!
Exceptionally good things do happen along
sometimes. The only way to prove that this is one of
them, The One, is to investigate it. The privilege is
given the investing public of investigating this oppor-
tunity without ~oblieating them in any manner whatso-
ever. Simply fill out the coupon and full particulars
will be MAILED upon request without trouble or obi
CATION in any way.

ANSWER TO ENIGMA NO. Z
1attlr nf Unnrt'H Brihgr

After driving the Americans
from the spot Lord CORVALLIS took
possession of the Cooch homestead,
which he used for a time as his
headquarters.
Although the Americans were
driven from the post, the purpose
for which General Maxwell's COM
mand had been detailed, was ef-
fected. Along the entire British
line Maxwell's light force actively
harrassed the enemy, not falling
back until the cannon Of the Brit
ish began their deadly work. After
September 3rd, what seems to have
been been the beginning of the
march of the British to Philadel-
phia suddenly stopped, and the
whole British army was ordered
to encamp, which it did in the i'm
mediate locality, resting five days,
before beginning the march north

Elkton Paper Puts
Il Up To Preachers

The Cecil Whig" of Elkton in
a recent issue squarely denounces
the preachers of Elkton for their
share in marring the fair name of
the town, and turning it into a
malodorous marriage mill. The edi-
torial from the "Whig" follows:
"There seems to be a pretty
general agreement amonst the peo-
pie in this community that the rep
utation which has come to Elkton
as a matrimonial factory is not a
desirable reputation and there is
much comment to the effect that
something ought to be done about
it," But there is the rub. Nothing
can be done about it, except that
which is done by the force Of pub
lie opinion or by the individual
conduct Of the preachers them
selves. The law, under which this
thing is proceeding and by which
it is probated, is State law. 1t
cannot be altered ST. as to apply to
this county alone. 1t can only be
altered by the consent Of the en-
tire State and we found, in broach-
ing the matter to members Of the
State Legislature last winter, that
hey did not in the least under
stand, appreciate or resent the con-
dition which we are facing daily,
in this community. Hence, the diff
fculty, if not the impossibility, of

very soon. The people of this COM
munity are back Of us in demand

Battle OF Cooch's Bridge

When the British fleet set sail
from New York on July II, 1777,
there was much conjecture as to its
destination. Everyone believed il
move whose final object was Phil
adelphia, however, and when the
boats sailed on past Delaware Bay,
the surprise was greater than ever.
Even when the boats sailed up the
Chesapeake, the Americans be-
ieved the Elk river too shallow
for navigation, but although the
bottom was muddy and the ships
were cutting channels through it
for each other, the British sue
ceeded in landing their men at
Elk Neck. By August 25, Sir
William Howe's army of $1,000
well armed men had landed and
hutted with rails and Indian corn
stalks, for no baggage or camp
equipage was admitted. The army
stretched from Glasgow beyond
the Welsh Tract Baptist Meeting
House. The force was commanded
by Generals CORVALLIS, Knyp-
hansen, and Grant.
On the highlands west of New
port with its right wing resting on
White Clay Greek just west of
Stanton and it's left near the village
Of Newport, lay the Continental
army, under General Washington.
With Washington were the divi-
sion commanders Generals Nath-
aniel Green, Benjamin Lincoln,
Lord Stirling, Henry Knox, Peter
Muhlenburg, and William Max
well. The section lying between
was thoroughly reconnoitered by
the two armies. On September 3,
outposts of the two armies met in
a sharp skirmisl at Cooch s Bridge,
on the banks of the Christiana. The
action is notable as being the only
battle fought on Delaware soil,
during the entire war, and the first
engagement in which the American
flag was unfurled in battle.
John Marshall who was at that
time in Washington s army, and
who afterwards became the distin-
guished Chief Justice Of the United
States, gives the following account
of the Battle of Cooch s Bridge in
his Life Of General Washington:
"The movement intended to be
made by General Howe on the 3rd
Of September was discovered from
his previous arrangements, and it
was recommended by the Com
mander-in- Chief to General Max
well to post a choice body of men
in the night, on an advantageous
part Of the road, in order to annoy
him on the march. In the morn
ing Of the third, General Grant be-
ing left with six battahons at the
head of Elk, to guard the baggage
and preserve communication
with the shipping, two divisions
under Lord CORVALLIS and Gener-
al Knyphausen moved forward,
and formed a junction about Pen
cader at Aiken's Tavern where
they encamped with the right at
Pencader and the left extending
across the Christiana toward New
ark. In their way the column
under Lord CORVALLIS fell IN with
and attacked Maxwell, who made
a short resistance, and then re-
treated over White Clay Greek,
with loss Of about forty killed
and wounded. The loss sustained
by the British, as stated in the Of
fetal letter of Sir William Howe,
was only three killed and nineteen
wounded. The opinion of Amerl-
cans, corrobora,ed by accounts
from the country people, ascribe
to their arms in this skirmish much

accomplishing anything in legis-
lative way. The only hope, in our
Judgment, Of a better condition OF
things, lies in the community it.
self.
"When we first expressed our
disgust, in these columns, with the
conduct of some Of our Elkton
ministers as to the marrying busi-
ness, one of these ministers called
upon us in our office for a general
discussion of the subject. There
was no mincing Of words in our
discussion. Each man spoke his
mind quite freely and our preach
er friend finally wanted to know
"what are you going to do about
it?' To which we answered: {:
Nothing, but what we have and
are doing-direct public sentiment
against such conduct as has char
acterized some Of your preachers.
There is nothing else we can do.
The law permits you to marry
these people indiscriminately and
| am frank to say that 1 see little
hope of securing any change in the
law, in the near future, at any rate.
But the law does not require you
to marry these people, and neither
the law nor anything else justifes
you in soliciting the business of
marrying them. On the other hand,
you are acting within the limits Of
the civil law and no one by law
can stop you. The only thing that
can stop you, is your own sense Of
self-respect, Of respect for your
ministerial position, and Of regard
for the influence of your church
and ministry. l am frank to say
to you that, in my own judgment,
those Of you preachers who are
known to be engaged in this scram-
BILE for the marrying business
are doing irreparable harm to your
selves as ministers and to the
churches with which you are con-
nected. If your recognition of this
fact does not bring you to reform
your conduct, then l know Of moth
ing that can. In other words, it
resolves itself into a question Of in
dividual conduct.
eve quote this reply of ours to
our ministerial caller because it
states the case exactly as we see it.
"There can be no question that
the people of this community are
disguised with the whole business
(barring one here and there who is
financially Influenced in his judg-
ment). There can be no question
that there is no legal remedy for
the matter. What then remains
but an appeal to the preachers
themselves? And that appeal ought
not to be in vain. No preacher, it
would seem, should be willing to
outrage and defy the moral sense
of whole community in which he
lives and labors.
eff the preachers, who are or
have been engaged in this indis-
criminate marrying business, are
to resent our utterances,
we give them fair warning that
