improvement over their last local ap.
pearance The line played hard and
held commercially at critical times.

The Trenton, aggregation deserve
praise for their craftsmanship and
knowledge of the game. They put
up as good an exhibition of clean
football as could be desired. S. B.

Little One Taken.
,afe in the arms of Jesus. "

Safe in the arms of Jesus"
Died Friday morning, Oct. 9Th,
Walter Miller, only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Clark, near the city, of
colitis.
The above lines of this beautiful
song were realized on Friday morn
ins, Oct. 8th, by the bereaved ones
who stood around the couch of little
Walter Miller Clark when the bright
eyes closed and the heart ceased its
pulsations. For fourteen months he
was the sunshine of his home, the
idol of pare hts and grandparents
when deaths angel came and bore
his pure spirit to the arms of the
blessed Savior whose loving words
must ever serve to comfort the be-
reaved ones or earth. Suffer little
children to come unto me, for of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven"
And now. the little feet can never
walk in paths of evil, the little body
can never feel another pain, and
though he leaves many aching
hearts that his bright presence was
wont to fill with joy and gladness,
he can never know any hing but hap.
piness. Then let this thought con-
sole all who loved the dear baby so
fondly, he is happy and safe forever
and some time you will know and
feel that it was best for the child
and be able to say Thy will be
done" Blessed be the Lord who
taEeth; blessed be the Lord who
gave"
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

Let Them Marry.

We have always been a strong
friend of Woodrow Wilson, but now
we are stronger for him than ever
before, since we have heard that he
is going to take unto himself another
wife.
No man can remain great and be a
good business man and exercise that
good diplomacy that is necessary for
him at this time without wife. Men
with wives are more capable and sue
cessful than thosewhotryto pass along
through life without them, more es-
pecially the widower.
If misfortune overtakes man and
he loses his wife by death or other
wise and becomes widower, then
the sooner he gets married, the bet
ter it is for him and the community
in which he lives and the business in
which be is engaged.
Some women think that Mr.. Will
son has been so engrossed in his di.
plomatic work, in trying to keep the
country out of war, that he had no
time to make love to nybody, but
in this we find them very much mis-
taken, because a great diplomat in
national affairs is no less diplomat
in love affairs.
1t is true that some will criticise him
because he did not wait longer until
he became engaged to this beautiful
widow, when the fact of it is the Ion
ger he waits to get married the less
capable widower is of making his
second wife happy.
We are very enthusiastic now for
Mr.. Wilson, for the second term.
And we are satisfied when he re-
ceives the help and encouragement of
good wife that the United States
will be kept out of war, and peace
and happiness for the whole people
will continue. -Mayfield Messenger.

Will Soon Have Electric Lights.

o. F. Eaton, manager of the Van
Vert Electric Co., has announced
that he will have the lights turned on
in Van Vert within the next two
weeks. The poles are all set, and
work of putting on cross arms was
commenced Tuesday, only two or
three days will be necessary for this
work. The stretching of the wire is
the fastest part of the work and from
now on the line will go up as if by
magic.
Mr.. Eaton has worked faithfully,
but despite the bad weather, he has
done exceptionally well, and is to be
praised for the fast time he has
made, and not many more days stand
between Van Vert and the proudest
moment in all her history. And that
moment will be when this little city,
in a flash, bursts forth from dark
ness into a beautiful lighted little
city. There are not many towns as
small as this, that can boast of cleo
trio lights.-Van Vert Pathfinder.

Good Road Work on l.. & l.. Trail

The enterprising farmers of Nor
gan township turned out and did
some excellent work last week on the
Trail at Sand Branch
near Pat Kelley's farm, four miles
northwest of this place. A large
ditch was opened on the west side
from the county bridge put in last
fall, to Caleb creek, sufficient to carry
all the water that comes down the
branch, and the center of the road,
over which the water had been in the
habit of running whenever it rained,
was graded up and elevated above
the high water mark, in good shape.
The work was done under the super
vision of Cyrus Wells, road superin-
tendent, and assisted by Pat Kelley.

ASKS $4,000
FOR BOYS DEATH

Two suits were filed in the Supreme
Court today by John w. McGeehan,
jr., in behalf of Andrew j. Caufield,
of 20 South Thirteenth street, to re-
cover $40, $3.50 damages for the death
of Mr.. Caufield's ten-year-old son
James, who succumbed on July 20 as
% result of injuries sustained in an
automobile accident on July 7. Louis
Lippman, an insurance agent, of 81
Nairn place, is made defendant in
both suits.
1t is alleged in the papers filed that
young Caufield was run down by an
automobile driven by James Fl. Chris
tian, chauffeur for Mr.. Lippman. at
the corner of Warren and South Thir-
teenth streets on July 7. 1t is fur
ther stated that Christian suddenly
and without warning" backed into
the lad, who was crossing the street
at the time of the accident. The
chauffeur is at present out under
81, 900 bail on charge of manslaugh-
ter AS a result of the accident, it is
asserted, lockjaw developed, causing
the boys death.
One of the suits has been instituted
in the name of Mr.. Caufield as ad-
ministrator of the estate of his son.
for $4,000 to recover damages for the
death of the boy for the benefit of his
next of kin. The other suit for $52S, sc
is to recover the money expended by
the plaintiff for medical treatment
for the boy after the accident.

POLICE BOARD
TO ACT QUICKLY
ON SERGEANTS
Questions of Appointments Will
Be Discussed at Meeting
Next Week.

Whether a number of police SER
geants will be appointed before the
eligible list expires on December /
will be a subject of discussion at the
meeting of the Police Board next
Wednesday. The Civil Service Com
mission announced yesterday that
the list of patrolmen eligible for pro-
motion, which was temporarily ex-
tended, must expire on that date.
This means that a request by the
Police Board for an extension OF SIX
months has been denied. A number
OF vacancies for sergeants exist, but
the Police Board does not wish to put
the added drain on the budget at this
time. 1t was for this reason that the
board requested the extension.
President Frederick s. Breidenbach
said today that he does not know
what action the board will take, but
said that the commissioners will
take up the advisability of appointing
a number of sergeants before the
first of the month--probably at the
meeting next week,
The formal inspection of the police
by Mayor Raymond and the commls-
sioners has been postponed from
October 27 to November 4. This was
done because of delay in getting new
caps for the men, Mr.. Breidenbach
said today.
All of the men in the department,
except a few necessary for duty in
each of the precincts, will take part
In the inspection. They will form in
order at Lincoln Park and
parade to Military Park. The mayor
and the commissioners will review
the. parade from the City Hail.

POLICE BAN ON
A MOVIE" PLAY
Strand Theater Program Or
dered changed-Report Filed
by PatroImen.

A motion picture play called "The
Secret Sin" was ordered suppressed
at the Strand Theater by Chief OF
Police Michael T. Long today. The
picture was to have been shown at
the theater in Market street this aft
ernoon and to have continued for to-
morrow and Saturday. The manage
ment was notified today that the po-
lice will not permit the picture to be
shown. ~ F
Patrolmen william Douglass and
Robert Lawrence, OF Chief Longs
staff, saw the picture at the Strand
Theater this morning. They COM
Imunicated with Chief Long by tele-
phone, and on their report the chief
decided to prohibit the showing of
the picture.
The objection of the police to the
place was because of an opium den
scene. Daniel Searles, assistant
manager of the theater, said today
that the management will respect the
objection to the play. and substitute
another.

BOOST IN COST
OF COLLECTING
C|TY'S REFUSE
Eight-Hour Labor Law Compels
Bidders on Contract to Ad-
vance Estimates.

I A one-third increase in cost for the
collection of city refuse rs now in
sight. Bids for this work were re-
ceived by the Board of Works today.
The contract is to go into effect on
January l, 1916. 1t will be for five
years.
The specifications of the proposed
contract carries q clause concerning
the employment of labor. This pro-
vides that the contractor must recog-
nize the New Jersey laws regulating
hours of work for laborers and me-
chanics. Under the laws or the State
the laborers employed directly or in
directly by a municipality can only
work eight hours in one day. This
will make a material difference to the
successful contractor He will be
compelled in turn to charge up a
larger amount for labor.
The provisions of the city contract
reads: "It is understood that the con-
tractor, his officers and agents, in the
employment of mechanics and la
borers upon the work to be done under
this contract, will obey the provisions
of the laws of this State and of the
United States respecting the employ
ment of mechanics and laborers upon
public work. The contractor shall en-
ploy local labor as far as practicable,
and in all cases local labor shall have
the preference, other things being
equal.''
1t so happened that shortly after
the garbage collection contract was
closed with Joseph Marrone in 1913
the Legislature passed a law provid-
ing that laborers employed on public
work shall only be employed eight
hours per day. Marrone was not re-
quired to live up to any provisions
such as the law provided, since the
contract did not provide for an eight
hour day.
James c. Hallock, the engineer In
charge of the collection of refuse,
anticipates that all other things being
equal, the increase will be at least
thirty-thre per cent. This year the
contract will run for period of five
years, while in previous years the obli-
CATION has only been for three years.
The fact that the contract has been
extended two years may result in a
proportionate reduction per year, as
compared with the price estimated by
| Marrone.
Marrone received the contract in
| 1913. bidding $1S9 .4S5.75 for the first
year, s195, 1850 for 1914 and s199, ,S4t
for 1915.
The bids received by the board this
afternoon will be on sliding scale
for a period of FIVE years. The new
contract will go into effect January 1
