From Elmer Times

Our good friend Alfred Cooper, who
publishes the Cape May County Ca
zette, at Cape May Court House, N. j.,
still youthful in spirits and in physical
appearance, suggests that he ia the
only editor in the State who has been
actively engaged editing and publish
ing a newspaper continuously since
1880. There has been an excellent rea-
son why country newspaper publishers
do not stick to one job so long. About
80 per cent of them fail to make a live.
lihood. While a number of them have
been talented and good editors, they
have gone broke on the business end of
the proposition. Mr.. Cooper combines
the two vital necessities in successful
publishing. Long may he wave. The
following appeared in the last issue of
the Gazette:
1.-THE Gazette last week CONF lsted the
thirty sixth year ofits publication, and
with this issue starts out on another
lap.
Looking backward, t~hirty-six years
seems like a very brief period, but to
the beardless boy who started the paper
in 1880, thirty-six years ahead looked
like a long while: and in the matter of
world progress it has been a long
period.
So far as we can ascertain, the pub
Usher of this paper is the only one in
New Jersey who was actively engaged
in the business In 1880 and still contin-
ues in it. Those who have not gone to
their long home, have embarked in
something that pays better"

Much to Learn

The Millville Republican, says,
and well says, that "any newspaper
publisher who makes a bid for legal
advertising is a bigger fool than Baa-
lam's ass, because he is not only cut
ting his own throat, but he is making
trouble for his fellow publishers.
Newspapers have learned much about
good business methods these latter
days, but some of them have much TO
learn before they will ecome multi
mi~llionaires."
And this reminds us of the foolish
ness OF newspapers which spend their
good money paying compositors for
setting up column-long announcements
of prospective candidates for congress-.
governor or other political office, which
they publish free of charge; and of
others who are easy prey of the NUM-
lions factory which wants to hire men
and kindly permits the country news
paper to advertise this want, free of
charge. So long as newspaper men al
low themselves to be fused" by every
fellow who wants publicity, but does
not want to pay for it, just so long will
the newspaper business be what it is
"a desperate struggle TO make both
ends meet. The Gazette has long since
"cut it out" and the sooner our con-
temporaries do so the better it will be
for all concerned.-Court House Ga
zette.

LITTLE IL FORD"

There was a boy who's name was Bush,
When he went Fording he always pushed,
So while pushing one day in a small country town,
A man passed by him in a car painted Brown.
The name of this car was a 'FWinton Six
And the man was in it that Just had it fixed,
While speeding at sixty, he heard something bust,
But all you could see was a cloud of dust.
He got out and got under and looked all around,
But all he could see was some nuts on the ground,
And while trying to start it a little later,
He found a Ford in his carborator.
At last he shouted, I've found my trouble,
But then his car went up in bubbles,
Oh my, he said, FI've lost my car,
And the distance to walk is all too far"
l know what I'll do, I'll buy a Ford,
And when it breaks down I'll have it on a cord.
To pull back to Wildwood, to remember my childhood,
When I had a little old Ford.

MAY PREVENT HOLDING
OF OFFICERS CAMP.
Regular Army Officers Are Busy With
Mexican Troubles.

1.-THE shortage of regular army Off
GERS due to the mobilization of the
greater part of the mobile army of the
United States on the Mexican border
Will probably prevent the holding this
year of the instruction camp for Off
GERS of the two Connecticut infantry
regiments said Adjutant General G..
NJ. Cole Thursday when asksd whether
the camp would be held this year.
General Cole pointed out that it would
require seven regular officers to give
the instruction to the student militia
officers, and it was extremely doubtful
if the officers could be provided on
account of the fact that there were
only two or three regular infantry
regiments not on active duty on the
Mexican border, or with the United
States eypeditionary force.
The instruction camp for officers of
the Connecticut infantry regiments is
usually held at Mantle during the
month of June, and lasts about a week.
Instruction is given by regular officers
in the various duties of an infantry Of
fcer, such as map reading and map
sketching, the construction of field for
tifications and fire control. The camp
is ordinarily attended by about 80 or
| 100 officers, and always precedes the
holding of the field manoeUvres in the
summer.
General Cole said much would de-
pend on the satisfactory conclusion of
the Mexican expedition in the near
future, freeing enough regular officers
to provide for the pur .oses of in
strtctiOn, and whether or not congress
appropriates the money necessary for
| the expenses of such a camp.

THE CROSS Is AN
IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Rev. r. Johns Bohanan Says Cross
Means Sacrifice to Us.

What does the cross mean to your
said Rev. F. Johns Bohanan, rector of
St. Andrews church, in a sermon de-
livered at the united Lenten services
Thursday evening. Archdeacon J. Ell
dred Brown, rector of the church, and
Rev. Richard r. Graham assisted in
the service. The choir of the church
led in the singing.
Rev. Mr.. ~Bohanan took his text from
the 1st chapter 18th verse, of the
Book of Lamentations: So 1t is nothing
to you, all We that pass by.
In part, Rev. Mr.. Bohanan said:
At our last Lenten service you heard
of the good shepherd who seeks the
lost and who laid down his life for
the sheep. The Son of God gave his
life on the cross. And it is an appro-
pirate time during these services to
think of this sacrifice and of what it
means to you.
Human life is like a moving picture.
This age is full of movement, progress
AMI hustling, and in the midst of all
this we are apt to pass by the cross.
Outside on our streets people are go
ing by who do not stop to think what
the cross means. 1t is symbolic of the
human race. Is 1t nothing to you, Rev.
Mr.. Bohanan asked.
1t is prominent on our altar, on our
church steepIes. Has 1t no vital mean
ing to you? Would it mean the same
of the shepherd had not laid down his
life?
Whether you appreciate It or not, II
has affected your lie and the life 81
the world. It is an important factor
in your future. II has made a civil
being and nominal Christians.
In the midst of this Christian COM
munity it has an effect on you.
II the cross means ANYTHING at all tc
US, it means sacrifice. During Passion
week you partake of the symbols. the
body. the blood. The cross stands fol
the great truth and there IS no saliva
ton without suffering or sacrifice. In
Europe today nations are at war in
dividuals are engaged. sacrificing thel1
lives, pouring ont their very blood fol-
kings and princes. So in the life of ar
individual there must be q sacrifice.

FABULOUS PRICES FOR DYESTUFFS
