A Methodist Anniversary

The 18th anniversary of Method
ISM in Lower Penns Neck is being cell
ebrated in Trinity M. E. Church,
P~enn3ville this week. There was at
one time a Presbyterian Church So
ciety at Pennsville, the members of
which lie buried in the cemetery in
Pennsville, which is seen as one goes
from the corner to the wharf. They
were the patrician class of their day.
The rough neck and tough minded
.plebians in the Neck were brought to
moral sensibilities by itinerant Meth
odist preachers who preached in the
country school houses after the Revo-
lutionary wal when the Church of
England became unpopular.
The most famous of the uncouth
armers who were converted was Ben
lamin~ Abbott, who became a flaming
sword of gospel fire among the COM
mon people in the township after ac-
cepting the rules of Goodness. He
became a preacher on circuits in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania and lies
buried at the real of First Church,
Salem.
For many years in the f~orepart OF
he past century jaime Newell was the
foremost local preacher in that town
ship.
At the services this week the 31st
anniversary of the dedication of the
present edifice is being celebrated

day at $50. At 1880 the pastor, Rev

Penns Grove Team Does AS Well
AS Others

Our football team again met defeat
by losing a hard fought battle to the
Millville eleven last Saturday. But
this may also be called a victory for
Penns Grove when it is taken into
consideration that the victors are the
champions of South Jersey and have
not been scored upon this year. Mill
ville's record stands before them, they
having conquered the fast teams of
Wilmington and Atlantic City by the
same score that Penns Grove was van
pushed, 1910.
Penns Grove kicked off and Millville
carried the ball back to mid-field. The
first play found Penns Grove off their
feet and proved too hard for them
in the final score. Shivers, the big
husky h~alf-back, started on a run
around right end before Penns Grove
knew what was happening and soon
shook himself free of the only two in
his path and then had a clear field
before him to the goal posts.
Millville now thought they were
going to have an EASY time of If bv
the way this first play was pulled off.
Penns Groves first play gave them a
ray of hope for a long forward by
oAy SNii W IluDCI IUCm l1liIV
yards nearer the goal, but on the 20
yard line they were held for downs.
Mlllville then trying it's hand running
the ball was held for downs after
reaching Penns Groves thirty mark
where Conover punted out of the
danger zone. The ball swayed back
and forth in mid-field, until the sec
ond quarter when Millville with small
out steady gains hammered their way
to the vineyard line. 1t now fell to
Cartor's lot to take the pigskin over,
which he did just before time was
called for the half.
During the second half Millville
several times got within Penns Groves
ten-yard line but then Penns Groves
defensive machine was working to
perfection and the home team was
held for losses every time. Shortly
after the second half started Millvillle
hammering away took the ball to the
one yard line and had four downs to
take it over, but when the fourth down
came Millville was on the ten yard
line instead of the one. This same
thing occurred in the last quarter but
instead of Millville ending its fourth
down with a touchdown they were
brought up with a jolt on the twenty.
Millville carried the ball most of the
time in the second half and covered a
number of yards only to be stopped
Finding the plunges unsuccessful they
cesorted to the open field playing
which was as much a failure as the
former. Then Engler over anxious to
break up me of the forwards inter-
fered with the player and a penalty of
fifteen yards was enforced.
With the ball on Penns Groves
twenty, Sparks went through the line
and after being downed got up and
started on for the goal posts. This
very near ended up in a fight and after
wrangling over the decision and even
showing the referee where he was in
he wrong the game was called be-
cause of darkness with two minutes

Escaped From Road Camp

James Jones, colored, who was SEN
fenced at the last term of Court to
work on the County roads, a away
last Sunday night and has not been
caught by Sheriff Mifflin and his
officers.
Jones is the fellow who insulted and
threatened men and women in Penns
Grove when they refused to buy lead
pencils. Being a dangerous animal to
be at large Squire McAdams and Joe
Craig pursued and captured him, but
did not get him in the lookup before
both were cut by him with a knife.
Some Southern men who work at the
powder mills suggested a l~ynching but
Squire McAdams allayed their ire for
quick justice. Many criminals have
quick justice. Many crimanls have
had much severer sentences for resist
ing and cutting officers, and his light
sentence was considered a miscarriage
of justice.
There is no doubt that he will be
caught, for it is very easy to identify
him, He is lame and has to use a
cane to get around. There Is a piece
out of one ear and he has only the
prison garb to wear unless some one
has supplied him with other clothing.

That is to raise fifteen millions for
good roads which you will enjoy when
you own or hire an automobile and go
to Atlantic City where the Governor
lives. Fhe 25 cents school tax goes
to pay school teachers. The 60 ct.
County tax goes to pay for bridges,
County roads and the court officials
who have to try mental and moral
derelicts caused by booze and other
delirious pleasures.
The Borough tax of SO cents pays
for your good streets, lights and fire
plugs and your marshals who guard
your person and homes from robbery.
The Borough school tax of II cents
pays for the erection and maintenance
of the school house, books, stationery,
coal, janitors and the balance for
teachers not met by the State school
tax, and the tax on railroad compan-
les rolling stock and corporations.

FOOD SURVEY
DEALERS REQUIRED TO MAKE
EXHAUSTIVE REPORT OF
FOODSTUFFS.

Dealers in food products are re-
ceiving this week blanks sent out by
the federal food bureau for a survey
and inventory of the food provisions
of the country. Every industry
which in any way Is interested in the
handling Or storing of foods, grains,
vegetables, dairy or poultry products
or meats receives one of the blanks,
and are expected to list thereon the
amounts on hand. as well as the
amounts handled within a certain
past specified time. 1t covers every
conceivable kind of food used, from
peanuts to wheat.
An order was issued recently to
bakers, ]. F. Runchey said today, or
dering them to comply with certain
recently passed provisions. They
were to make their bread to conform
to certain standards of weight, and
to use a certain specified amount of
fats and sugar in their products of
confectionery nature. Bread was to
weigh 16 or "a ounces net, IL hours
after baking. This is ordinarily
scaled in the dough at 16 ounces and
weighs about IA when baked and less
after IL hours. The use of fats was
restricted greatly, and the use of
sugar was confined ito three pounds
to the barrel of flour, when they or
dinarily use 20. Upon a vigorous ex-
postulation on the part of the bakers
association, urging that the use of
doughnuts be eliminated for the con-
servation of fats instead, the order
against the use of fats and sugar was
rescinded until further investigation
and later notice.
Mr.. Runchey says hat the effect
of the order as at first issued would
be to allow the bakers of bread ex-
clusively to continue in business,
while those making sweets and deli
catessen would be forced to suspend.
The small amount of sugar allowed
would have made it impossible for
him or them to fill their orders, for
no baker can make sweet bread prod
ucts without using sweetening. Just
what turn the matter will take after
investigation is not certain, but Mr..
Runchey says he hopes that practical
men will arrive at some practical So
luton for the handling of the food
problem.

WESTERN FRONT SAFE
In No Danger From German Of.
fensive Says U. S. Official.
Does Not Think Teutons Are Plan
ming Attack But viii Suffer II
They Do.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Admiral w.
s. Benson. chief of naval operations,
and General Taskar ii. Bliss, chief of
staff of the army, members of the spe-
cial American mission to the recent
inter-Allied war conference In Paris,
have returned to Washington and
spent considerable time in their Of
fees.
When seen at the var department,
General Bliss declined to be inter-
viewed. Admiral Benson also declined
to make any statement beyond ex-
pressing satisfaction with the work
accomplished abroad.
II have never been afraid of the
western front. The Germans, accord
ing to reports, say they are going to
make a great drive there and smash
up u Allies. / do not believe they
intend to make such a drive, and am
confident they will get badly pinched
IL they do" said a military officer Of
high rank.
Western Front Safe.
at no time since the battle of the
Marine has the western front been in
really serious danger. The Germans
vowed they would take Calais, and
boast they would shell Dover with
their great guns, which doubtless
GOULD carry effectively across the
narrowest point IN the English chan
mel. They are farther from Calais
now than they were two years ago.
This is true: IL the Germans
should smash up the Allied line on
the western front, we would have to
stop fighting. But 1t seems nonse
steal for thinking people to be taking
a gloomy view of the situation there.
THE Allies and ourselves have been
warned long enough in advance to
make any necessary preparations.
Won ~Hindenburg and Won Luder'
dorff will have to find a whole lot
more men for the western front II
they even hope to make a noticeable
dent in it at any important point.
The country should take notice Of
General Pershing's cheering message
that, I'VE can break through the
German line with a human wedge
and we will
Instead of Germany smashing the
Allied lines. we are going to smash
those of the kaiser"
