LOCAL MAN CHOSEN
FOR SUPERINTENDENT
DIR. Clyde NJ. Fish Elected Head
of tuberculosis HOspital-T0
Open in about Three Weeks.

DR.. Clyde NJ. Fish was elected sup
erintendent of the Atlantic County
Hospital for Tubercular Diseases at a
meeting of the Board of Directors
held on Wednesday. The salary is
S1,400 per year, but will not begin un-
til the hospital is ready to be opened
which will not be for a matter of two
or three weeks. By virtue of his of
fee, the superintendent is also the
secretary of the board and its treas
urer. However, the latter is merely
a clerical office for he handles no
funds. He simply keeps an account
of the expenditures, approves bills
and refers them to the Board of Free
holders. The money is paid, as all
other bills, by the County Collector
after the bills have been approved by
the finance committee of the Free
holders and been ordered paid by the
latter body.
The question of an assistant super
intendent and a matron was discus
sed, but it was finally decided to
leave these matters to a committee
composed of Reuben L. Babcock, DR..
Coward and DR.. Fish. They will
consider the several applicants and
make their recommendations to the
next meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors.
DR.. Edward J. Po-teous, of Allan
tic City, was made the permanent
president of the Board, and John G.
Galigne, of Hammonton, was elected
vice-president.
Rules and regulations and bylaws
for the government of the board of
directors and management of the in
stitution were adopted, and the reg
ular meetings of the Board of Direc-
tors was fixed for the Thursday pre-
ceding the second Wednesday of ev-
cry month. This will bring the meet
ings a little less than a week ahead
of the regular meetings of the Board
of Freeholders.
As soon as the hospital opens it will
be crowded nearly to its capacity.
Tubercular cases, which are now be-
ing cared for at the Camden County
Hospital, Ancora, will be brought
here as well as those in the Munich
pal Hospital Clinic.

CONCRETE EXAMPLE OF
SELLING AT A LOSS.

During the discussion in City Coup-
Gil Monday night of the "junk" ques-
ton and its bad results and effects,
Mayor Adams recited an instance in
his neighborhood where n of the
older members of the family just
happened on the scene in time to pre-
vent a boy from selling to a junk
dealer a pair of rubber boots for
twenty-five cents which his father
had only a day or so previous bought
for $3.50. He said it was a general
practice with these INSCRIPTIONS
dealers to encourage youngsters to
take things wrongfully which they
would not otherwise think of.

session Monday evening, with Coun-
cilmen Blackman, Schmidt, Adams
and Derr, Clerk Andrews and Mayor
Adams present, Councilman Black
mar vas selected as acting president.
Councilman Schmidt reported that
he had inspected the cells of the lock-
up with regard to installing toilets
and said the cost would be about S38.
Council authorized the property com-
mittee to have same installed. 1t
was also decided to partition off half
Of one of the cells so as to make it pri-
vate, should any feminine prisoners
be held there. The matter of build
ing additional cells was held over
through lack of funds to project the
work.
Councilmen Schmidt and Adams re-
ported that they had inspected the
GLASSES owned by DR.. H. L. Harley
and Raymond G. Ireland, respective
ly, and that both were in good con-
dition. The chassis is to carry the
chemical tank and hook and ladders.
With the tank removed from the fire
engine, that machine will be about
500 pounds lighter and will be able
to make better progress with less
likelihood of becoming stalled on mud
dy side streets, Is nov happens oc-
casionally. 1t was decided to pur-
chase Nh. Ireland's car for $500, and
the Mayor and several other city off
cials offered to donate their labor in
building the body for the chassis.
Councilman Schmidt said he would
donate all sheet iron needed to cover
the woodwork. In fact donations
were so literally forthcoming to
make the machine cost the city as lit
tie as possible that one Councilman
suggested that they should have
started the donations first, and per-
haps some liberal minded person

Not only had the members OF Mt.
Moriah Lodge No. 155 A. f. & A. NJ. +,
ought to feel proud of their under
taking in building this beautiful lodge
home, but the work of beautifying our
little town Of Kadoka, should awaken
the pride of the citizenship of the en-
tire community, as Bro. Brockway in
his address was frank in saying that
when the present Temple is complet-
ed it will be without question the neat
in the state of South Dakota. Dear
reader, words like those had ought to
sCir the patriotism and loyalty of all
citizens especially in town as small
as Kadoka, and should spur US all on
20 greater things which will revert
back TO the good of the community
and make us all better men and wo-
men.

State TWine Plant
Big Paying Business

Profits of the South Dakota peRi.
tentiary twine plant for the past
year ending July Tst, 1916, amount
to S66.I73.S4. This is over twice
the profits of the year 1915 when
they amounted to S27, ,623 81. The
increase profit in the last year is
due principally to the tact that the
raw material was bought early, and
the profit is calculated on a basis
OF what would have to be paid for
sisal at this time. The raw ma
terial is now worth nearly IoH
cents a pound, but foresight in the
matter Of purchase put a quantity
of it on hand at the prison at a
little less at about seven and a
quarter cents.

According to the report of War
den O. s. Swenson there is an en-
couraging sign in the fact that the
population of the penitentiary does
not in any way conform to the in
crease in population in the state.
On July /, 1914 there were Ic4
prisoners in confinement and on
July 1, 1916 there were exactly the
same number. During the period
OF two years 2o3 prisoners were re-
ceived and by an unusual coinci-
dence 2o3 were discharged.
The health of the institution has
been good according to the physi-
clans report. There have been
but four deaths during the bieanial
period, and four inmates have been
transferred to the state hospital at
Yankton. There have been but
few cases of tuberculosis in the in
stltution. AT present the tubercu-
losis ward is vacant and there have
been only two deaths of this dis
ease during the two years.
Owing to the advance in price OF
nearly everything required, the cost
OF maintenance per capita, has in
creased from S3Io.z5 per year dur
ing the year ending July 1. 1915 to
S32o.4o during the year ending
Iuly.I, 1918. The years potato
crop on the penitentiarv farm is
nearly failure and il is estimated
that the potatoes that will cost
about 81, 900. Last year the farm
produced more than enough to sup
ply the institution.
Notifications which have been
made of the rule OF silence contin-
ues to work we'll, according to the
report. Talk at the tables and al
lowing the prisoners to congregate
in the cell halls Sunday afternoons
in having a tendency to help dis
cipline in every way as inmates APP
preciate the privileges highly and
desire very much that it be contin.

The laying OF the cornerstone for
the Temple to be used by Mt. Moriah
Lodge No. loo, A. f. s, A. NJ, was the
first opportunity ever given the writ
er to witness an event OF this kind,
and as we stood among the eighty
other brethren who had come for
miles around to be IN attendance and
witnessed the solemn ceremony of
depositing the sealed box, the pouring
of the corn, wine and oil, hearing the
Grand Secretary read the list of ar
ticles deposited in the stone and pay
ing the closest of attention to the
masterfu address given by that great
worker in Missionary, M. w, Chas. l..
Brockway of Sioux Falls, we began
to und srstand more than ever before
wha it ment to be member of that
great Fraternity, whose every teach
ing is for the good of our devine archi-
tect, he who created all things-our
country, our homes, our neighbors
and ourselves.
The beautiful singing by the double
quartet during the services assisted
wonderfully with the program at the
Temple site, and to the members of
the choir which consisted of Nessrs.
