Mortified

The regular meeting of the Home
and School League held in the North
field School on Thursday evening,
April 18th, proved even more inter
esting than the previous one. Sever
al new members were enrolled and all
took an active interest in the trans
actions of the business.
A penny contingency fund was
started for the purpose of furnishing
treats on meeting nights.
1t was decided to hold a Musical in
the school building on Monday eve
ming, April 30th. The admission will
be the nominal fee of 10 cents, which
proceeds will be used to purchase ice
cream dishes and spoons to be kept
a. the school for social occasions.
Ice cream will be on sale and with
every large plate purchased, a piece
of fine homemade cake will be given.
A hearty invitation to attend is ex-
1ended to all, and it is hoped each one
will show his interest in the activi-
ties of the school by honoring with
mis- presence.
The President, Mrs. J. P. Wilson,
gave an interesting talk on the value
af Home and School Leagues, and held
t1p many aims for which this particu-
far one should strive. Mrs. Human,
Treas, talked of the place the home
takes in the education of the child.
She stated that out of over 100000
hours of the child's life from birth
TO maturity, the average child spends
approximately 1000 in the school
room. Hence it behooves all parents
to learn something of the Psychology
of their children and how they should
be governed. 1t also becomes them
TO adjust their ideas with the present
day methods of teaching and make
the home training correlate with the
school curriculum as much as posi-
bic. One cannot know to what ex-
tent a teacher can be encouraged by
hearty cooperation of the parents, or
how many differences might be adj
justed by acquaintance in these Home
and School League meetings.
Therefore, all are urged to come
and be active members in this work,
if you would raise the efficiency of
Mortified School.
Misses Olivia Relyea and Lille
Wierber, accompanied by Messrs.
Charles Wierber and William Wiener
of Hackensack, drove down last Sat
urday and spent the weekend with
the formers mother, Mrs. William
Relyea. Miss Relyea is head nurse
at the Bergen County Isolation Hos
pital at Oradelle and has many
friends in this vicinity.

PUBLIC SCHOOL BOYS AS
SOURCE OF FARM LABOR

There are being enrolled in u pub
lie schools groups of boys who have
expressed a willingness and a desire
to go out on the farms and assist the
farmers in the growing and harvesting
of their farm crops. These boys have
been listed in what is known as the
Agricultural Division of the Junior
Industrial Army of New Jersey, au-
thorized bv the Governor and Com
missioner of Education of the State.
Bows who will enlist in this Junior
Agricultural Army will be excused
from school duties and will be eX-
pected to perform conscientiously and
seriously such labors as are required
of them on the farm. The boys will
be divided into three groups:-First,
that group which will consist of boys
whose homes are OF the farm and
who will assist their parents in the
farm work; secondly, that group of
boys from our small towns that will
be assigned to work in communities
adjoining their town, and where they
can return every evening to their
homes; and thirdly, a group of boys
from our cities who are expected to
go out on the farm and remain during
a set period of time.
The entire move has been started
with the idea of eliminating, as far
as possible, the great shortage of
food products. 1t is not expected that
farmers will in any way be injured
by this movement but that they will
be benefited by the increased output
and by their usefulness. 1t is also
thoroughly understood that the boys
living in towns are not skilled farm
laborers but that there are certain
kinds of work on the farm that can
be readily performed by them and
the more skilled laborer can be turn
ed toward that work that requires
farm experience. The Government of
the United States is eXerting every
effort this year toward the maximum
production of food supplies, and it be-
hooves every farmer to take advant-
age of the Junior Industrial Army
that is being formed in order to IA
c~ilitate the work. The way in which
these boys will work will depend upon
the farmer and the character and the
nature of the work that the boy can
do. In most cases it will be advisable
to discuss this question with the local
recruiting officer of the town from
which the boy comes.
Farmers are requested to commun-
icate their wants to the local school
authorities, the Vocational Agricultu-
raj School in their section, the Direc-
Tor of Vocational Education at Pleas
antvilEe. or the Office of Farm Dem
onstration at Mays Landing, any one
of which sources will take steps to-
ward the supplying of the labor
wanted.

FRECKLES.

Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Remove
Them With the Othine Prescription.
This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually so successful
in removing freckles and giving a
clear, beautiful complexion that it is
sold by any druggist under guaran-
tee to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few appli-
cations should show a wonderful i'm
provement, some of the lighter free
kles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold one the money-back guarantee.

GERMAN
ATTACK
COSTLY
Omitted Press Leased wire.,

PARIS, Jan. 72.-Fighting OF
great intensity, over a battle
ground, every inch of which has
long ago been accurately mapped
and ranged TO rartillery has mark
ed the renewed struggles about
Deadman's hill and hill 304.
Advices today indicated that the
French had wrested back from the
enemy again practically all of the
advanced positions which the
costly German assault of Thursday
night had won.
A deluge of artillery fire, a
flood of machine gun bullets and
fierce hand-to-hand fighting has
again torn and soaked the soil of
the two hills, already furrowed
and blackened by dozens of pre-
vious battles of precisely the same
sort.
The attack cost the Germans
thousands of men. The slopes of
the two hills offered no protection
at all to the advancing Teutonic
columns and the execution of the
French guns was terrific.
Paris estimated today that six
full divisions, or 10000 men,
were used by the Germans in their
assault.

in the wagon and the boy hurried
her to the ho7Dital.

WILSON'S
MESSAGE
Omitted Press Leased Wire.)

LONDON, Jan. 27.-Fresh
proof of the solidarity of the al
lies was furnished today, in the be-
lief of officials, in the Identical
opinions as to President Wilson 8
senate address voiced by official
and semi-official sources In Paris,
Petrograd. Rome and here.
The view that the presidents
aims and ideals in general ap-
prOximate those outlined by the
allies in their reply was held in
all of these expressions.
Russia furnished perhaps the
strongest statement, officially
announcing her approval of the
American president VIEWS as to
all nations having an outlet to
the sea and as to an independent,
autonomous Poland and as to his
general aims after the war to pre-
vent any future world conflict.
Other peace news which aroused
comment here today included the
action of the Manchester confer
ence Of the British labor party in
endorsing the presidents speech
and in urging that when the peace
conference does eventually come.
organized labor be granted rep
resentation on the British COM
m ttee which will meet to fix
terms.
Paris reported that United So
cialist deputies of the chamber
had formally adopted resolutions
Wilson's aims and urg-
ing that democrats of all ma
tons join in fastening peace.
London was filled with reports
today that the kaiser's birthday
would be marked by some i'm
move by Germany
