A petition was presented to the
council last evening by the Pacific
Power & Light Co. asking for a modi-
fication of the gas franchise to per-
init of the company giving its own
bond instead of surety bond for the
fulfillment of the requirements of the
franchise. The franchise calls for a
$4,000 surety bond and this costs the
company $12O a year. The matter
was held over for wee kto give the

the activities of the Army Y. NJ. C. A..
at Camp Hancock for the month of No
vember, which will be found of absorbing
interest if studied carefully. Those who
contributed of their means to sustain the
work of the Army Y. NJ c. A. will be de-
lighted with the stupendous work done in
the aggregate.
BY way of explanation, it should be
stated that in comparing the results at
the various buildingc, allowance must be
made for the number of troops served by
each particular building. For instance,

WHY WE HAVE
MEATLESS DAYS

We are observing meatless Tuesdays
and Fridays because there is world
shortage OF 1t5,Go0 900 animals and the
only way to help meet this deficiency is
through eating less.
Ore of the first things that each citi-
zen should keep in mind IS that not only
has the world herd been depleted but the
United States today has a shortage of
100000 animals as compared with
seventeen years ago.
well as wheat They need beef and they
need the fats that are produced from
pork. If we are to help supply our boys
in the trenches and camps and the ma
tions aiding us in the war and if we are
to feed ourselves, every ounce Of meat
and fat must be carefully conserved.
1t has been estimated that il the Unit,
ed States generally observed two meat
less days each week there would be a
saving of 100000 pounds annually.

SOLDIER CAMOUFLAGES
ASKING FURLOUGH
Major General Clement Desires
as Many Men to Return Home
as Possible.

One of the most interesting cases of
camouflage that has come to the at
tention of the officers of the Twenty
eighth division is reported from one of
the units. The desire to make trip
home is responsible for the attempt to
initiate the French in their ability to
conceal the truth.
Just before Thanksgiving, soldier
asked his commanding officer for a
furlough, offering a telegram show
ing that his grandmother was dead.
In order to prove the sincerity of the
soldier, wire was sent to the home of
the young man. asking if the grand
mother was dead. The message came
back quickly:
Yes. she has been dead twenty
years"
Major General Clement has given to
all regimental commanders the privil-
eye of granting furloughs for the holi-
day season and hopes that the method
of selection will be SO equitable shat
each soldier will have a fair show.
Not all soldiers desiring furloughs can
secure them. therefore there will be
some disappointment, but soldiers soon
learn the truth of the old Pennsylvania
adage:
What can't be cured, must be en-
dured."

YOU-ALL..

The following poem from south
ern magazine argues for the right TO
use the expression "you-all."
Despite the efforts we have made,
Whenever folly intervenes,
Our Northern friends we can't per-
suade
To understand what "you-all"
means.
They think we think it means just
one
Insist on that howe'er we sigh
Their error scarce can be undone,
But here goes for one other try:
You-all means race or section,
Family, party, tribe or clan;
You-all means the whole connection
OF the individual man.
You-all means his father, mother,
Wife and children, all combined,
Not Forgetting his big brother,
And his sister, fair ard kind.
Whenever this word is employed
And that is often, we confess
Its meaning never Is alloyed
By any trace of selfishness.
YOu-all means another faction
OF this mixed-up human race.
Means it all, without subtraction;
Means the whole crowd to embrace
In the singular its never
Used in this part Of the land;
But We give up hope Of ever
Making others understand.
