Americas High Duty
By JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
United States Senator from Mississi

OnitCQ 0bdbcb Dcn6lOT lTOA MlSSlSS1Dpl
The United States has entered upon
the great world conflict, which is to de-
eide whether Democracy shall have a
safe place in the sun on the earth, or
not. There Is hardly any duty higher
than that which ought to actuate each
citizen to help furnish a part of the
money which will be necessary for
that purpose.
1t is true that a man may be able to
lend his money out at g., or Z, or 8, and
in some places even 10 per cent, but he
might well forego for the space of two
or three years the higher rate of ,a.er-
est while he invested in 81 per cent
bonds OF the United States. His prin-
cipsl would be safe. The bonds are
exempt from taxation, except the in
inheritance tax, and exchangeable for
later bonds of a higher rate of. in
terest If the United States later during
this war issues such, and are specif-
ically freed from any war tax that may
be levied.
Our men cannot getto France or Bel
GUM In any considerable numbers for
a year. The Governments money re-
ceived from the subscriptions to bonds
may get there by wire, the credit based
upon it may, which is the same thing,
and after getting there takes the form
IF lothinO ond food rnoitjooe .;aao
and cannon, and may help our Allies
to win. Next to the immediate duty
of chasing submarines and sinking
them wherever they can be found, there
by reopening the avenues overseas for
the worlds commerce, there is moth
ing that do SO much good as lending
the Government your money. And
even In that respect the man who SUBJ
cribes to a bond, putting what ready
money he a into it, has the satisfac-
ton of knowing that his money has
helped build a destroyer, or buy an arm
ed yacht, which In its turn has des.
troyed a submarine.
The American people are not a money.
loving people in the sense that a misel
Is. Their money getting takes more the
form of a game. which Is enjoyed be-
cause OF its skill and the clash of wits,
and their love of the possession of mon
ey is based more upon the uses to which
the money car be put in ~elevatine
themselves and their children and theil
nelghbors and the community in which
they live than upon the money itself
or the reputation of having 1t.
We are the wealthiest people in tn,
world; this wealth bought now to serve
the country. 1t will be a shameful
thing that those who are not fit foI
military service should allow those WHIT
are fit to go to the front and be MANNED
and mangled, and perhaps killed, Will
they stay at home and refuse to do ever
so much as to loosen their purse strings
[NoTE.-Senator Williams of Missis
sippi was the first Member Of eithe
House of Congress to subscribe for Lib
erty Loan Bonds, investing severa
thousand dollars in them.

Weekly Suggestions For
Vegetable Growers

prepared by the New Jersey Agricultural
Society, New Brunswick)
The twenty million consumers with
in sixty miles of the capital of our State,
Trenton, should be informed that a
heavy crop of lettuce is now being sold
by the local farmers. Asparagus, rhu-
barb and radishes are plentiful, and 1t
is expected during the middle and last
part of June that garden peas will be
very plentiful. Burlington County es-
peeially has a very large planting, and
prospects are that the yield will be ex-
tremely heavy, due to the cool, damp
weather so favorable to this crop. When
our nearby consumers learn to eat more
of those things which are produced To-
cally, much burden will be lifted from
the railroads, many middlemen's prof
its will be eliminated and, above all,
our local vegetable growing interests
will be benefited.
LIMA BEANS
Many growers are just about d~iscour-
axe i OhClA OIL vi 0u6h llLldo
and pole limas. The cold, wet wealth
er has caused much of the seed to rot.
1t just happens that lima beans of any
kind can be tr%ansplanted successfully,
provided we take a large block Of soil
with each root. A hole Is made by re-
moving one trowelful of earth where
we want a plant to stand. The plant
which is to be moved is taken up with
a trowelful of soil and this soil Is gently
placed In the hole previously made to
receive it. The soil is kept solid and
after transplanting is gently firmed
One lima bean vine to q
pole Is sufficient. The best commercial
growers in Cumberland County gener-
ally use two to a hill and they find that
one plant to a hills equally as pro-
ductive. The extensive bush lima
growers Of Gloucester County have their
planta stand fifteen inches apart in rows
three feet apart; therefore, the amateur
should realize that after all ii is not
necessary to have all of the seed to come
up in order TO get a good crop.
NEW JERSEY AND FOOD PRODUCTION
Since nation has been called upon
to feed the allies and to produce a ma
tional food supply, our State is making
a wonderful effort to produce food
and to conserve it. Every fertile field
will be planted whether 1t has produc
ed within the last generation or not
Well organized committees composed
of patriotic men and women are giving
their time, thought and money to en-
courage production In every municipal
ity. Thousands of children are devel
oping skill. health and industrial idea
as they plant and care for their GARDEN
and utilize the surplus products. Thu
splendid efforts in this State are due (,
the untiring efforts of the Governor, tn
legislators, the agricultural institution
and to energetic leaders all over thu
Estate, all helped and inspired by tn
hearty cooperation of the press.

FreehOlders Order Survey
For New Road to AngleSea

At the monthly meeting of the Cape
May County Board of Freeholders on
Wednesday Floyd Hewitt, the baby
member from Anglesea, offered a res
olu ion providing for a survey for
another driveway and automobile road
to Five Mile Beach. The proposed
route is to leave the main road north of
the Pennsylvania railroad track at
Burleigh and enter Anglesea by way
of Grassy Sound on the easterly side of
the railroad track. By this route it
would not be necessary to cross the
railroad. The resolution was adopted
receiving the almost unanimous sup
port of the board. The beard as a COM
mittee of the whole will go over the
route and decide which side Of the rail-
road track they will recommend for the
route. The engineer will then make a
survey and an estimated cost OF the
road and bridges. A letter was read
from Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
Dill promising a rigid investigation of
the charge that State Auto Inspector
Grant was in the habit of over speeding
in the big State of New Jersey auto
mobile. Mile a Minute Grant and
others were injured recently when the
state machine struck a wagon at Ocean
View. AT a previous meeting the
board passed a resolution calling upon
the state authorities to punish the in
spector for speeding. The Atlantic Re-
filming company filed with the board a
bill of over $1,000 against Contractor
Willis on the Holly Beach road. Petit
tions were read from the upper part Of
the county protesting against the elm
ination of the lighting of the county
roads. In this connection B. Frank
| Hires, who lately became interested in
the lighting plant at Cape May, adj
dressed the board, as did his counsel,
Tax Commissioner S. F. Eldredge. 1t
was decided to continue the lighting
and bids will be asked for. The Cape
May home guards was voted So Q, sub
ject to the approval of the solicitor.
Freebooter Saul reported on the voca-
tional school situation and the amount
was increased from $25O0 to $500 Mr..
Saul also presented a claim of James
Goddard, of Wildwood, for damages to
an auto, caused by a collision with an
obstruction left unlighted by Contractor
Willis. The following reports submit

MASTERFUL LECTURE.

Rev. Father Hogan Of Oshkosh, who
appeared at the Municipal Theatre in
this city Tuesday evening, under the
auspices Of the local anti-saloon league,
was greeted by crowd that tested
the eapacity of the spacious quarters.
For upwards of two hours the speaker
held his audience without the least rip
pie OF uneasiness. 1t was deliberate
and impressive discussion Of the ques-
ton Of prohibition without any attempt
at orstory, and his well tuned witt
cisms to clinch the force of his conten-
tons we're decidedly spicy and much
| enjoyed. So well did Father Hogan
please and impress our people, there's
no doubt but what an equally large au-
dience would be on hand should he APP
| near 10 Mineral Point again.
