Joseph A. Jones, of Lumberton, has

he has marketed some very fine fruit.
We know it because he left a sample
at THE News Office and they were all
right.
Rain again prevented a good game

Captain Fish came down from Camp
Dix yesterday afternoon looking for
some of his colored troops who had
failed to report for duty. He said there
were fifteen who had not shown up.
Three of them we're caught on Wash
ington street. They were compelled to
walk to Wrightstown under escort of
an armed guard in an automobile.
When they reached the camp they
probably got something else.
The board of education has not yet
decided how to get in the additional
half hour day required for physical
training by new law. The daily ses-
sions will have to be heightened, and
the question seems to be whether to
open school earlier in the morning or
close later in the afternoon. In Bor-
dsntown the schools will open half
hour earlier in the afternoon. Should
this be done here, it would be difficult
for many of the pupils to get home for
lunch.

touch with the wants of his people and
get their views on the many questions
that are perplexing the nation at this |
time. He expects to be at the Mount
Holly fair Thursday, and will be glad |
to see all his constituents and listen to |
anything they wish to present to him. |

/ Some clever detective work by chief
OF police Carslake, of Columbus, re-
suited in the arrest, Sunday, Of man
who is supposed to have been stealing
milk from the farmers in that neigh
Norhood. This thieving has been 60
