DOINGS OF THE P. O. S. OF A.

A spirited meeting of Washington
Camp, No. 126, P. o. S. of A, was held
on Tuesday evening of this week. All
of the new officers were installed some
time ago, and the Camp is going
ahead very nicely. The Camp is plan
ming to have a large class for initia-
ton in the very near future, and will
invite Camp No. 80 over to do this
splendid work. All P. O. s.. of A.
members are invited to attend and
take part. The new officers are pre-
pairing their duties nobly, and the at
tendance is very much improved.
There is new life in the Camp and
something doing every minute. Those
that do not attend the regular meet
ings are missing the treat of their
lives. This Camp thanks The Pleas
antville Press for space in the. paper.
Bro. Irwin Higbee, who is our presi-
dent. has won the hearts of all the
boys. SO boys turn out and give him a
helping hand. Be sure and be out
next Tuesday evening.

Frank j. Gould, at a luncheon at the
Negresco at Nice, said of the fapper:
"Wherevey the English congregate
they talk of nothing but the fiapper.
The flapper, you know, is their name
for the young girl in shortish skirts
and openwork stockings who still
wears her hair in a flap, or plat,
down her back. What all
England today is the fapper's 'advan-
ced' ideas. AS there's a new woman,
so there seems to be a new fiapper.

t~eristic story-were taking tea togeth-
err in a nursery. The first said as she
toyed with ? doll:
"sI don't like Jack. He's so crude.
"sCrude? How?' said the second
flappei.
@sWhen he kisses the first an
sWered, he smacks.'"

A Thorough Case.

Every schoolroom is supposed to
have its romancer, or boaster.
There was a mild epidemic of
mumps in an uptown school not long
ago, and a teacher asked the pupils
in her room how many remembered
having the disease.
A few remembered it, but most of
them had never heard of it
Then the attracted the
teachers attention.
81 get the humps, teacher" he
smilingly said. 81 get it around my
face so. And | get one by each eye
and n under my neck."-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.

Virtue of Good Manners.

Good manners, while costing little,
accomplish much. They may perhaps
be among the "little things" but who
will not agree that it is just these
little things that makes the big diff
ferences in our pleasure or pain, COM
fort or discomfort? They oil the
wheels of life and cause them to run
smoothly and noiselessly. To those
who can command it's varied scale
from genial warmth to icy frigidity,
politeness is perhaps the most power
full weapon of defense and ~offense.

SOMERS POINT COUNCIL
MUST SHOW CAUSE

Attorney General Wescott has insti-
tuted quo warranto proceedings in
the Supreme Court against six mem
bers of the common council of Som
ers Point to show by what right they
have title to that office.
Three of the defendants, Martin
Scull, James Cousart and Charles E
Steelman met on January 1st and or
ganized by electing three other mem
bers. The Attorney General claims
that a majority of council did not at
tend the meeting and that therefore
there was no quorum present, as Steel
man, who claimed to have been elected
last November, had no right to sit
because there was no vacancy.

The Ardmorelte prints letter from
one Of the big oil men who blames
the newspaper for the troubles Of the
operators and large part of the de-
moralization in the oil business in that
field. The grounds for this serious al.
legation seem to be that the Ardmore-
ite printed a communication from a
reader who registered some complaints
about the way the business of a GER
tain company had been conducted.
Bro. Easley, the editor, entered a very
emphatic and convincing denial to the
allegations set forth in the indictment.
He showed conclusively that the Ard.
moreite had little to do with the fix
ing OF prices of oil and that 1t had
not the power to influence the actions
and policies of the Standard Oil com
pany. Twas ever thus, Bro Easley.
When anything goes wrong, the news
paper is always to blame although it

is quite generally claimed by a large
tribe of folks that the press is with
out influence. The only offense COM
mitted by the Ardmoreite was to print
news as it is which is equally as ser
ious as printing it as it amt, in the
minds of some misguided individuals.
Bro. Easley has written hundreds Of
columns of conservative oil news which
was of tremendous benefit to the field
there but all his good service is for
gotten when somebody takes on a
crouch because of conditions over
which the newspaper has no control

Anyway, Harry Thaw's life has
not been lived wholly in vain. BY
keeping himself in the newspapers for
ten years or so, he has furnished one
of the most convincing illustrations
OF the evils of the laws delays" The
last episode in his story, starting with
his escape from Matteawan, has al
ready extended over something like
two years. After carrying him through
several thrilling chapters in the courts
Of Canada and New Hampshire, the
narrative brings us up to the point
where the date for his actual trial in
New York has been set and that will
be the prelude to another prolonged
period of suffering for newspaper
readers.

The Germans still insist that they
sunk some Of the enemy's vessels in
the recent engagement in the North
sea, while the British officials are
equally insistent that all Of their fight

as the best possible sources Of news

in this instance one of these authori
