Among those who have been untiring and conspicuous in their efforts to bring about the development of Muscle Shoals, is Congressman Ed Almon of this congressional district, and which has now become known as the Muscle Shoals district.'' In Washington and in Ala bama he has devoted his every energy and influence to bring about recognition of the Muscle Shoals site. Col. J. w..

Physical Evils That Come From Long,
Confinuoux Nutv

According to Assistant Surgeon Wal
ter W. Cress of the navy, long, con-
tinuous duty on submarines is con-
ducive to high blood pressure, with its
attending evils.
whether that is due" he says, ito
mental strain, loss Of sleep, overeating
with lack of exercise, excessive use of
tobacco. coffee and tea or some toxic
agent peculiar to submarines I am I'M
able to say. 1t was noted that slight
fall occurred after a forty-eight hour
surface run and three hour dive. I'm
doubtedly that could be accounted for
by fatigue or lack of physical exer-
else during the preceding forty-eight
hours"
One effect, natural under the circum-
stances, he says, was that of loss of
weight, and 1t is observed that there
Is probably no occupation, excepting
that Of boilermaker, giving rise to
as many cases Of partial deafness as
submarine duty. It is not uncommon,
he says, for men to report that they
have increasing difficulty In hearing
the commands. That is attributed to
the constant Migratory movement Of
the submarine, the straining Of ears to
hear above the noise Of the engines,
the presence of cold drafts Of air down
the matches while operating on the
surface, the excessive heat while run
ming submerged and the inhalation OF
gases given OFF by the batteries and
! fumes from of tanks.
1T Is becoming more and more ap-
parent" concluded DR.. Cress, that all
men should undergo a thorough phys
ical and mental examination before be-
ing assigned to submarine duty

Announcement has been made of
the engagement of Helen Elizabeth
Belts, of Germantown, to Z. Russell
Perkins, of Moorestown.
The township committee last wee k
appointed William G. LeConey as
freeholder, to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Joseph L. Hilton. He
attended the meeting of the board, at
Mount Holly, on Wednesday. The
appointment of Mr.. LeConey meets
with the approval of the taxpayers OF
this township.
Wednesday was NIoorestown day at
Rancocas Park, where picnic was
held by residents of this community
The home guard, in full uniform, in
command of Capt Barton z. Bullock,
gave a fine exhibition of drilling on
the large floor of the dancing pavilion.
The Moorestown band, under the lead
ership of John Ellis, gave a concert,
which was much appreciated. Both
these affairs took place at night The
day was spent in boating and other
amusements by those present. Many
families attended and took basket
lunches with them in true picnic style.

How TO Remove the Flowers Without
IniurInu the Plants.

How TO Remove the Flowers Without
Injurlng the Plants.
There Is a. right as well 'as q wrong
way to cut roses. II not cut cor
rectly the blossom producing proper
ties Of the plants may be seriously ip-
iured. This applies particularly. Of
course, to rose plants chosen and
grown especially to supply cut flowers.
Such roses win be largely Of the per
petuai blooming sorts.
When rose is cut from such plant
only two or three eyes Of the current
seasons growth of that branch should
be left on the plant This should give
the roses very long stems. Succeeding
blossoms should be cut to the ground.
1t Win seem like destroying the bush
to take so much of, but If the object
Is the production of roses the cutting
away Of the surplus wood WIN simply
further the desired end.
y the spring -pruping has pot been
sufficiently severe the plant f. likely
70 have long, naked stalks apd short
stems TO the flowers. In such a case
only one OF two strong leaf buds
should be left on the branch when the
flower is cut, so as to stimulate as
much growth as possible from the base
Of the plant.
The temptation is great to leave
wood where there are two or more
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one is open. This
bad practice can be avoided by pinch
ing of an side shoots after bud has
formed on the end of branch, thus
leaving the stem perfectly clean and
wfllowy.-Popular Science Monthly.

2 the game. Maybe he jumped

ming the game. Maybe he jumped
around in the coacher's box.
1t was not case of 'the umpire did
it, blu it may be said he tried to do
it,"
A partial apology to Jack Devlin.
We did roast you after the Florence
game and while we are not Ching to
take it back, we will say that you are
not in it with the DelaDco bunch.
Mount Holly got six hits, five of |
which were obtained in the last inning |
and they were all planted in one place |
between third base and shortstop,
and they were all clean hits as the
players at those stations did not have
any errors.
"Jakey" Ellis is said to have paid
his respects to the Mount Holly news
papers for the way in which they criti-
cised Deylin, the Florence umpire, and
is reported to have stated that he did
not have much use for the papers
Thank you, "Jakey," the same to you.
Lumberton will play on the Mount
Holly grounds, Saturday. This team
has been strengthened and is playing
fast ball. 1t will undoubtedly give as
good an exhibition as Florence would
| if it had come, as it agreed to. Jess
Foulks is playing first base for Lum
berton.
The members of Company E., at
Camp Edge, played game of base
ball with Company f., of Salem,
Saturday, and won by the score of to
2 but it took II innings to settle the
matter. The Mount Holly boys lined
up as follows: Cahall, catcher; ].
Nixon, pitcher; Cain, first base; Shaff1e
second base; S. Powell, third base; H.
circuit, shortstop; E. Nixon, right field
P. Thomas, centre field; Paul Warren,
left field. Company E., of Mount
Holly, and Company NJ, of Burling-
ton, will play game next Saturday.
Florence was to have played here
next Saturday, but the manager mas
sent word that the team will not be on
hand. At the beginning OF the season
there was an agreement which was not
only in writing but was supposed to be
a ''gentleman's and sportsman agree
ment'' to the effect that there would
be four games played between Mount
Holly and Florence for stated sum.
Three of these games have been
played, Mount Holly coming out at
the small end of the financial part.
Now Florence sends word that it has
chance to play game with Stetson,
of Philadelphia, at larger guarantee
than was agreed upon, and as lit is SO
far in the hole" it cannot afford to
throw this chance away. Florence is
no further ''in the hole" than Mount
Holly is or was when it journeyed to
foundrytown the last time, yet the lat
ter kept its part of the agreement.
This actionon the part Of Florence is
firstclass specimen of cheap sports
manship."

Selling Young Meat Animals a Mistake.

Apathetic curiosity on part OF the consumer
will be aroused by the news that fed" lambs
have just sold at a record high price on the
Omaha market, the chief concern being whether
the record is to stand or to be wiped out pretty
soon as a new wave OF extravaganza breaks on
the shore where the common people are just now
marooned. Deeper than this lies the real interest
in the transaction. In putting the lambs on the
market the seller is sacrificing posterty to present
high prices. Tender bits from these immature
animals melt in the mouth and please the palate,
and in gustatory joy the gourmand forgets that
he is not devourng alone the lamb from which the
portion came, but unborn generations Of lambs.
Not many years ago cattle raisers awoke to the
fact that in providing baby beef to crafty a
demand for dainties they we're impoverishing
their herds, and soon halt was called that supply
might be replenished. Flockmasters are going
over the same ground just now. Mutton is a
staple il not principal article of diet and the
sacrifice of lambs to meet a passing whim OF
good livers" Is serious blunder. A full grown
eve will not sell for quite such high price per
pound bat actually brings more per head than
lambs, and besides that leaves descendants. Rails
ers of meat animals should not allow themselves
to be tempted by high prices into jeopardizing
the future Of their industry through destruction
of the young, on whose progeny the continuance
OF the meat supply depends.

lightful Of all the war brides" Two years ago
It was sluggish and neglected member of the

tivity was shown to attract the attention Of the

happened and Bethlehem Steel starting far be-
low par, went rocketins up to well over 900, and
along with this magnificent spectacle came the
deluge Of speculation and millions changed hands.
In these two years Bethlehem Steel has increased
its working force from 10000 to more than 10000,
and its present campaign comtemplates the invest
ment Of $1000 1000 Immediately in the extension
Of its plant Charles N. Schwab at its head,
says he Is building for the future, and the conf

Bethlehem board in increasing the capital stock
Of the company by 400 per cent giving half to
the present shareholders as bonus and placing
the other half on sale, is proof that they do not
believe that cessation Of war 10 going to end the
demand for their product; nor does il suggest that
the loss of the she'll contract has seriously affected
