THE BEST KEPT
RURAL SCHOOL GROUND

Cologne in Hamilton Township, can
probably boast of having the best kept
rural school ground in Atlantic Coun-
ty. Recently Principal Archibald
Cole, by the help of his pupils, plant
ed several flower beds and a half doz-
en- or so additional tulip trees. Some
years ago Mr.. Henry Pfeiffer, a men,
Der of the Hamilton Township Board
of Education, was instrumental in
having set out a number of ornament
al evergreens. These have grown up
to be quite beautiful and in addition
to the fifteen or eighteen tulip trees,
give the school house a setting that
might be taken as a model for many
of the other rural schools of the
County. The Hamilton Township
Board of Education deserves congrat-
ulations for leading the way in this
phase of rural school improvement.

ASSEMBLYMAN LAKE
PRESENTED WITH RELIC
Father Gives Him Part of Uniform
Worn By Grandfather.

William Lake, of Ocean City, has
presented his son. ssemblyman Mark
Lake, Cape May County's representa-
tive in the popular branch of the leg
islature, with a sword and part of the
uniform worn by the father of the
senior Mr.. Lake when a member of
the State Militia in Atlantic County
about 70 years ago.
The name of the grandfather of
Assemblyman Lake was also Mark,
and he, too, served in the State Legis-
lature, his term covering the years
from 1847 to 1849, and he represent
ing Atlantic county.
The portion of the uniform present
ed to Assemblyman Lake consists of
a red coat, minus one of its epaulets,
and a white vest. They are well pre-
served. His grandfather was in the
militia for a number of years, and the
members of the organization drilled
at a fort in Somers Point. He was a
blacksmith by trade and ironed many
vessels in those days.
Assemblyman Lake also has re-
ceived from his father another curl
osity in the shape of a large egg
holder and made of lignum vitae.
There still remains in it some pow
dery-like substance. This, in the
custom of the old days, was shaken
over the writing on letters or legal
papers and thus was the ink dried,
the people then not having blotting
pads in general use in the country
sections.
Assemblyman Lake will have a sill
yer plate placed around the relic. On
it he will have inscribed the name of
his grandfather and the date of his
term in the Legislature and also his
own name and the date of his term in
the Legislature.

HUBIN SAYS
Editors Pleasantville Press

Editors PleaSantv1lle PreSS:-
Sewerage makes any town or city
prosperous. Take people in all walks
of life nowadays, they want cleanli-
ness and sanitary surroundings. Look
at what the U. S. Government did
after the Cuban war; the first civic
improvement was the installment of a
sewerage system in Havana, Cuba;
then in the Philippine Islands. Then
before starting work on the Great
Panama Canal, their first object was
to get the cities of Panama and Colon
in a clean, sanitary condition. Then
right here, only 5 miles from the
greatest resort in the world, if we had
sewerage and the sanitary surround
ings were perfect, the City of Pleas
antville would grow in leaps and
bounds. Houses would be occupied
and everyone would be prosperous.
Properties would boom. But this will
never happen until we have men at
the head of our City Government who
will look into the future and not for
get that Pleasantville cannot get
along at the present time the same
as their great grandfathers did years
ago. My advice to members of our
City Council is to wake up, dispense
with their hirsute ap~pendages and
ideas and adopt city ideas and get
busy on the sewerage question. How
can we expect manufacturers to To-
cate here unless we have a sewerage
system to carry off their needs. Sew
erage has got to come and with it a
New City of Pleasantville with new
home seekers and new investors. |
have talked with a great many peo-
pie who would like to live in our City,
but will not bring their families on
account of the unsanitary conditions
that now exist. If we want Pleasant
vile to grow we must have sewerage.

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How tn Remove Easily

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is triiing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself OF
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee OF
money back if it fails to remove free
kles.
