SHAKE UP YOUR BRAINS.

Shake up your brains, brother,
shake them up lively. Somewhere in
the dark recesses of your Uranium is
an idea that would be of great value
to your home community.
Let the idea out and pass it along
for examination and dissection and
for possible use for the betterment of
u people.
Any nan of normal intelligence is
full of good ideas, but few people care
to exploit them before the public.
And yet the exploitation of ideas is
just what we need for the improve
ment of our local conditions.
Step forward and tell US what you
know or what you think. Much of it
may not be utilized, but there may yet
appear the n great opportunity for
which this community is waiting. Do
it now and your action may spur your
neighbors to such an extent that we
may eventually get somewhere and do
something.

you see that building" said a sa-
loonkeeper in Montana. THAT is all 1
have In the world. l worked hard
to build and equip 1t. There / earn
the food and clothing for my wife and
babies. You women say you are go
ing to put me out of business. That
will ruin my property. How am I to
support my family?" l thought of
the many families that his business
was making hungry and unhappy, but
| said nothing of this, for there was
to me a pathos in his plea and to him
1t was a very real problem. In the
seven states that recently went dry
there are thousands hat meet the
same conditions. They are cast adrift
upon a wholly uncharted sea and they
see nothing beyond.
I answered: "My friend, when Mon
tana goes dry, and as sure as you and
I live Montana is going dry, that lot
will remain just where it is. Unless
there is a fire, and against that you
can continue to protect your property
by insurance as you are doing now,
your building will remain where 1t Is.
Just lower your bar and make a coun-
ter of 1t. Put in some more win
tea, coffee, sugar, flour, shoes-any
commodity-to the very same people
who p%atronize you now and receive
in exchange the same kind of dol
lars. Perhaps, my friend, you have
not thought that Mr.. Brown over
there who now comes to your place
nightly and spends his money, may
come in and buy a pair of shoes for
his little Mary, who sadly needs them.
This purchase on his part will not un-
fit him to earn another days wage
tomorrow to buy something needed
for his small son, Jimmie. And then
perhaps he will come in the next
night and buy a sack of flour, taking
it home to his wife to use in making
bread. AS for Mr.. Brown himself, he
will go to bed and get a good nights
sleep and the next day he will be
able to earn enough more funds to
buy a sack of potatoes. Do you not
see that you may sell from the same
building to the same people who now
patronize you and get even more
money? I am sure, too, that your
wife will be happier and your chill
dren will no longer be Stunned. We
are not fighting you, my friend, but
we are fighting your kind of business.
Why not try to get into something
honorable before the storm comes
and be ready for the new trader"
He answered earnestly: Perhaps I'd
better. Anyhow, I'll consider it. !

ATLANTIC COUNTY
FARMERS FIELD DAY.

The success of the Field Day held
last year warrants the Farmers Week
Committee of the Hammonton Voca-
tional School of Agriculture to hold a
similar event this year at Hammonton
Park, Saturday, September 8. This
Field Day is for the purpose of ex-
hibiting farm products, as few realize
the agricultural possibilities of South
Jersey, and the variety and quality of
products raised in this section.
1t is to be hoped that the poultry
men, fruit r~aisers and truck growers
will unite in sending exhibits to this
Field Day meeting, as exhibits are
open to all farmers and growers of
farm products in Atlantic County and
the neighboring counties. Ribbons
will be awarded to the successful ex-
hibitors in each class. Competent
judges will be secured to properly
grade each exhibit.
The morning will be devoted to the
exhibition of fruit, vegetables, flowers,
poultry, stock and transformed prod
ucts. Ample time will be given at
noon for luncheon. The program of
the afternoon, while not yet arranged,
will consist of speeches, by we'll quail
fed men, on agricultural subjects of
Importance and timely interest.
All South Jersey farmers are invit-
ed to join in making this Field Day a
success by showing the quality and
variety of products which can be and
are raised and produced in this part
of New Jersey. Send in your exhibit
and be present in person.

NEW TEMPERANCE GOSPEL.

Temperance work today is very
practical as compared with the senti-
mental exhortations of yesterday"
pertinently remarks an exchange. I'm
these days, when efficiency is so gen.
eral a watchword in the world of busi-
ness and labor, we are finding not so
directly that a mar is a knave who
drinks to excess, or even as all, as that
he is a fool. A runner who ties a
weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts a dram of liquor
into his digestion or his brain. 1t is
capable of proof by figures and dia-
grams that the drinker of even an
occasional glass of wine or beer or
whisky Injuries the work of both his
hands and his mind, while the habit
ual drinker sews up his mental and
manual machinery permanently. This
is the gospel of the new temperance
movement"

where" This implied the awakening
of the dead. Otherwise. the millions
already dead could never participate in
Gods grace. The proof that this was
Gods purpose had been demonstrated
by the fact hat Christ had risen from
the dead.
But the Athenian philosophers. like
those of our day, sneered at the doc
trine of the resurrection of the dead.
Some denied a future life: others held
that human life is i~ndestructible. All
were in opposition TO the Bible teach
ing of a sentence of death. a redemp-
ton by death. and a resurrection from
death. All interest in the Apostles
teaching vanished for the majority
when they learned that the entire phi
losophy rested upon the resurrection of
the dead. Few can receive this.

YOUNG MAN, WHO ARE YOU?

Are you known by your own name,
or are you known merely as your
fathers son?
Are you known by your own good
qualities and by your own acts, or are
you remembered simply because you
bear the name of better people who
conceived you and brought vol into
this world?
The young man who can look his
elders straight in the eye and say,
81 am James Martin already has OPP
portunity at his feet, but the fellow
who can say nothing better than that
she is Robert Martins son" will still
be cropping in the darkness of the fu-
ture after opportunity has vanished in
the distance.
Be something, do something, create
a personality of your own, and the
world will know you and respect you
for what you are and not for what
your parents were before you.
But continue content as another
mans son" and you will be accorded
the respect and privileges only of
another mans son." and when death
overtakes you your home paper will
speak charitably of you merely as
another mans son."

SIMPLY A CASE OF WHEN.

With every mortal in Pleasantville
of normal intelligence and thinking
age it is simply a case of when"
Some may scott, others may ridicule
this statement, but it is true.
For instance
Walking in the straight and narrow
path is not a matter of compulsion or
force of habit. 1t is done only WHEN
we choose to do so.
The inoffensive dog or cat is kicked
only WHEN the kicker chooses to de-
scend to the level of the brute.
We go to church WHEN we please,
we believe the minister WHEN we
choose, and we serve the devil WHEN
it strikes our fancy. Habit and ne
cessity have nc place in any of these.
We boost for the town WHEN it
pleases US, or we knock it WHEN the
inclination overtakes US, or we lapse
into a state of Indifference WHEN
our thoughts and desires are dormant.
We are prosperous WHEN we give
our best thought and energy to our
business affairs, and we enjoy life to
the fullest only WHEN we emerge
from the shadows and bask in the
sunlight of existence.
Go where you please, and view the
subject from any angle you choose, in
almost every instance life is simply
one long case of WHEN.

NO STEPS.

Judge Tully Scott Of Colorado's su.
preme court, speaking to the toast
"Democracy's Opportunity" at a Demo
cratic banquet, made this statement:
"In my opinion constitutional prohi-
bition will never be repealed in Colo
RADIO. I believe it to be as firmly es-
tablished as the provision for equal
suffrage, and I believe we all agree
that any effort to repeal the grant of
equal suffrage in this state would
prove as futile as an attempt to repeal
the natural law of gravitation."

was opened for him to deliver a dis
course on the Plan of the Ages amongst
the wise men of the earth, probably in
the great structure known as the Par
thenon, on Mars Hill. However, the
curiosity of the Athenians was super
fetal. They wished to keep abreast of
every new theory, that they might the
better defend their own position.
Our Common Version reports the
Apostle to have begun by accusing his
hearers of being too superstitious.
However true the statement might
have been. it would have been unwise;
for it would needlessly have offended
his hearers from the outstart. We do
well. therefore, to translate the word
too religious" This translation fits
well with the discourse which follow
ed; for the Apostle proceeds to show
that by the images erected they recog-
nize innumerable gods, and that addi-
tionally he had seen one altar to the
unknown God. This was being too
religious in one sense of the word-un-
wisely so.

which Adams fallen race cannot meet.
He pointed out that consequently all
mankind are under condemnation as
unworthy of everlasting life. but that
God has sent His Son to redeem our
race from death and to grant us resur-
rection privileges. He drew their at

confined to n nation. but that God
had made of one blood all nations. to

Plan TO Have
EARNINGS MAKE
IMPROVEMENTS

According to heavily interested
stockholders Il is the intention of the
management OF the Engels Copper
Company to develop and equip the
mine and to build and equip the mill
and entire plant from the earnings OF
the company, thus adopting a-.policy
that has been successfully followed
by some of the largest copper pro-
ducing companies Of the United
States. Il is felt, 1t is stated, that
the present opportunities, with copper
prices prevailing at the highest fig
ures. have never before been offered
any company In the putting into ope-
ration such policy. That If IL has
worked successfully for others at low.
er- copper prices 1t should be still more
successful for this company at pres
sent prices. ..@1s.ts< =
1t is stated that the purpose of the
management Of Engel's Copper Com
pany is to tunnel into the mountain
at lower level than the present mill
and at the mouth of the tunnel to
erect new mill OF larger capacity
When this has been done the work.
ings Of the mine will be entered from
below and, instead of all ore having
to be hoisted. it can be brought down
to the main tunnel by gravity, thus
putting into operation one of the most
economical mining methods known.
According to further statements
made it Is hoped that the improve
ments, engagements and develop.
ments planned can be made from addi-
tional profits after payment of diyi.
dends at the rate Of IL per cent per
annum
The tunnel mentioned is to be 5000
feet in length and is now being rapidly
driven. AS to what use the present
mill and its equipment maybe put to-.
statements have not been made, but
1t may be That it will be used as q
unit in the new mill. which it is pro-
posed to later erect at the tunnel
mouth.
