MUNICIPAL LEAGUE VAUDE-
VILE SHOW, WEDNESDAY,,
MARCH IA, STRAND THEATRE.

Rehearsals every evening are rap
idly perfecting the actors, who are to
take part in this big performance, in
the various roles fhey are assuming.
To one accustomed to seeing these re-
hearsals, it can be truly said that this
will be one of the wittiest and best
performances of it's kind ever present
ed to the public of this vicinity.
An especially witty act is a farce
omedy on the mosquito commission,
entitled, "Skeetered In Boomtown," in
which the old reliable "Dave" Martz,
famed as a member of the Kinne-
waugha Minstrel Troupe of years ago,
takes the leading comedy role. The
act is entirely original and is one
many grotesque situations keep the
start to finish.
The Wheeler Quartette will have
several favorite selections.
j. Walter Martz has a very witty
monologue, in which he appears in
his inimical n >
Charlie" Chattle will be there with
some very novel sketches, which the
public has come to look upon with
great favor.
"Doc" Hudson, the well-known bar
itone. has two very pleasing selec-
tons to offer.
Besides the vaudeville, the famous,
and at this time especially appropri-
ate picture, "The Peril of a Nation
in five reels, alone well worth the
price of admission, will be shown.
A comedy in two reels, "Shorty and
the Yellow Ring" featuring Shorty
Hamilton, is also on the bill.
The performance will last about two
and onelhalf hours, and the curtain
will rise promptly at 8 p. m. The
admission price is but 25 cents, and
there are no reserved seats.

cheek when the scissors were
withdrawn by the boys Mortified IA
Their. A physician was hastily sum-
moned and young Plummer, suffering
terribly from the pain of his injury,
was ordered rushed to the Wills Eye

ceived from the hospital are to the
effect that while young Plummer is
in a critical condition, hopes are en-

ATLANTIC CITY WOULD
ANNEX MEADOW LAND

An act designed to double the area
of Atlantic City by including within
the resorts boundaries large sections
of Egg Harbor and Galloway town
ships will be introduced in the State
Legislature on March 6 by Senator
Richards for Mayor Harry Bacharach.
Notice of intention of this act was
published as required by law and ere
ated widespread interest.
The new area, five miles in width
and about the same distance in length,
will extend from the Ventnor City line
to the Inlet and will reach almost to
Pleasantville on the mainland side. 1t
consists entirely of meadow land and
bays, all of which will come under the
city's control in the event of the pass
age of the act.
The chief reason given for the ex-
tension of the resorts boundaries is
the acquisition of a right of way for
the boulevard now being constructed
between Atlantic City and Absecon.
At the present time the new area is of
slight value, but once the work of ex-
terminating the mosquitoes is COM
pleted the area would be capable of
development into desirable residential
districts.
It is said that strong opposition will
be offered by the officials of the Town
ships affected, because they would
lose considerable tax revenue from
property that is nc expense whatever
to them. The outcome will be watch
ed with interest.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
DEFEAT OCEAN CITY.

The Pleasantville High School Girls
Basket Ball team iourneyed to Ocean
City last Saturday evening and play
ed the Ocean City girls. 1t was a
complete walk-over for our girls, the
final score being AL. This victory
was won in spite of the fact that
theirs were 12-in. extension baskets,
their floor much larger, and the game
was played according to their rules.
The team work of the local girls is
remarkable and this, together with
the splendid individual playing, has
called forth the prediction that ours
will become the champion High School
of South Jersey.

Last Saturday evening the Pleas

COUNTy~DFFENsE CUMNfFGEE
s>ORGANIZED SATURDAY NIGHT

At a meeting called on rather
short notice last Saturday by Joseph
Hansen. secretary of the Idaho war
council, new committee was organ
lied to handle all demands made
upon Bingham county for defense
measures of every kind not handled
by the military provisions.
}-~-MRv-Hansen. brought the message
that the war work Is coming SO
heavy and will keep increasing at
such a rate that it becomes advisable
to have permanent organization to
handle every demand that is made
instead of organizing new body for
each one.
The pressure of war already rests
with much greater severity on the
people of the eastern states than in
the west and especially in the inland
states. The congestion of traffic and
the scarcity of the scarce articles of
commerce such as sugar, are not felt
here as they are farther east, and
western states are organizing for a
great campaign of education to get
caught up with the rest of the coun-
try on preparedness and real service.
Speakers will go over the state or
ganizing the county work, and peo-
pie in each county will be required
to spend their time holding public
meetings thruout the county to in
form people of the urgent necessity
of quick work and constant work to
carry out the war plans Of their part
of the national undertaking. Every
community will be required to do its
own part as separate unit, and the
press of the country will be levied
upon for more assistance than ever
in passing out information to the
public regarding the work.
A committee of fifteen was organ
