Unjust and unkind.

A few days ago some city newspaper
published an item to the effect that
bandages and other articles sent out
by Red Cross Association had been
found to contain poison and ground
glass. The newspaper did not give the
name of the place referred to but men:
toned 1t as "a place Of about 1000 in
habitants in New Jersey" This was
enough to set some local tongues
wagging and Mount Holly seemed to
be good-enough place to decide upon.
In the Red Cross Association here
there is one lady who since this country
became involved in war atonce devoted
her time and her energies to work that
would aid the American people.
But somebody had to be selected as
target and very unkind, unjust and
unfounded remarks have been made
with reference to this lady. So far has
this prejudice been allowed to extend
that she was openly insulted on the
streets of Mount Holly on Saturday.
This is certainly not very creditable to
town Of this size or any other town.
So far as bandages or other articles
going from Mount Holly is concerned
it may be said that not a single thing
has been shipped from here by
this society, but everything is on ex-
hibition at the rooms of the Red Cross
Association in the Lewis building and
is open to the inspection of the public
generally and to any one who wishes
to make microscopical examination.
The loyalty of the women engaged in
the Red Cross work here and of the one
especially mentioned cannot be ques-
toned and it would seem to be In order
to aid rather than to discourage the
good that is being attempted to be
done.

A REQUEST Granted

The Business Mems Association held
a meeting Tuesday evening to consider
request Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company for an increase in
freight rates. 1t was supposed when
the letter on this subject was received
that the company desired to raise its
rates Is per cent, but this idea was
swept aside when Herbert r. Dix, rep.
Preventative of the company, said the
desire was to increase the rate to Is
3cents ton on all commodities except
local. He said this was the proposition
that had been presented to the Public
Utilities Commission and although
this matter was with that body it was
thought but fair that every business
association should be acquainted with
the action. The Mount, Holly body
thought the request was quite reason
able and readily approved Of it.
Several Of the commuters on an
early morning train to Philadelphia
presented petit ton in which they
asked the association to request the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
change the schedule of the train that
now leaves Mount Holly at $50 in the
morning so that it will leave at $40
and that the 100 train be scheduled for
Z o'clock. Many of those who made
the request work at the Victor Talking
Machine works and have to leave
Mount Holly at 5.46 and then are
compelled to wait in Camden at least
an hour before being able to 90 to
work. 1t they wait for the $50 train
they are not able to go to work on time.
There are so of those thus affected and
the association thought it no more
than fair that the request be presented
to the railroad company,
While the request Of the companies
and corporations are being presented
to the association why not have some
made to the former? Why not ask the
trolley company to 50 arrange its
schedule that better time may be
made? Thirty-seven minutes between
Burlington and Mount Holly seems
too much time to be consumed. The
cars creep along in order not to run
ahead Of time. There are trains run
ming from Burlington that could easily
be caught if the time for running the
trolleys between the two places was cut
down.

Base Ball.

1t has been settled that, unless some.
thing not now in sight happens, Mount
Holly will have a base ball team.
Nearly all the players who aided III
making last year such success, have
signed for this year. The lineup thus
far is: McCue, catcher; Forbes. pitcher;
Jesse Foulks, first base; Beaudry, sec
ond base; Shemeley, third base; Frank
Foulks, shortstop; Larry Gillian and
Morgan in the field, with one or two
others yet to be selected.
The first game will be played on the
Saturday prior to Decoration day. On
that day there will be good game
with a flag raising and patriotic exsr-
cises. The diamond will be put in
good shape and the grand stand will
be strengthened and enlarged. On
holidays there will be but one game
played.
The subject Of Mount Holly going in
to league has been dismissed. The
desire to keep down the salary list was
ignored by Rosbling and Florence and
as they have already signed players
that will cost nearly twice as much
as any other club can afford to pay,
Mount Holly declined to go into a
league. Florence and Roebling have
Joined the Delaware River league and
will fight for the pennant, instead of
simply buying it as would have been
the case if they had succeeded in get
ting a league organized under their
terms.
1t will cost some money to put the
grounds in shape and the base ball
lovers will be called upon to aid in
having this done. Every one can give
his mite and there ought not to be any
trouble in putting our team on the
field in good shape.

Respect Due to the Stars and
SfrirAc


Congressman Bacharach has issued
the following statement to his consti-
tuents calling attention to the proper
usage of the flag:
In these momentous days, when our
hearts and pulses are quicksned with
emotions Of patriotic love and devotion
to the Stars and Stripes, and the sight
of Old Glory flying fearlessly at all
times tends to arouse the patriotism OF
every true American, it is well for us
to remember that there are certain
rules and regulations governing the
courtesy due to the Flag, which we
should bear in mind. These regula-
tons, which are applicable in times of
peace as we'll as in times of war, while
not promulgated by any Federal Stat
ute, are the rules adopted by the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, and are generally recognized bv
the military branches of the govern
ment as being proper and correct. I
therefore believe that this is fitting
time to direct the attention Of my con-
stituents to these regulations.
l. Inc nag should not be hoisted be.
fore sunrise nor allowed to remain up
after sunset.
- " AOhCNSA PoSoAOiC but nag should
be flown from a staff or mast. hnt
should not be fastened to the side of a
building, platform, or scaffolding. 1t
should not be used as cover over a
table, desk or box, nor where ANYTHING
can be set or placed upon the flag.
8. When the flag is used as a banner
the union should fly to the north in
streets running east and west and to
the east on streets running north and
south.
A. When flags are used in unwilling
statue or monument they should not
be allowed to fall to the ground, but
should be carried aloft to wave out,
forming a distinctive feature during
the reminder of the ceremony.
DECORATIONS
When the American flag is used out
of doors, it should always be allowed
to fly to the breeze.
When the flag is used in fixed posi-
ton, the union should be on the left
as you face the flag.
When the flag is used as a banner
but in fixed position, the union
should be on the right as you face the
flag.
For indoor decorations, the flag may
De caught up In many artistic fash
ions, and used with bunting, garlands,
plants and flowers, but should never
be placed below person sitting.
When clusters and draping Of colors
are desired, bunting or cloth should be
used, but never the flag.
MEMORIAL DAY
On Memorial day, May Both, the flag
should fly at half staff from sunrise to
noon and full staff from noon to sun
set.
When the flag is flown at half staff
as sign of mourning, it should be
hoisted to full staff at the conclusion
of the funeral.
When used on a bier or casket at a
funeral, the stars should be placed at
the head. In no case should the flag
be allowed to touch the ground.
DURING WAR
During the period of the war there
is no better way by which we can show
our patriotism and loyalty than by fly
ing the Stars and Stripes from our resi-
dences or business houses daily.

Conrt Affairs.

George Foster, a colored resident Of
Moorestown, was brought into court,
Thursday, charged with the theft OF
chickens from Nathaniel Dudley. He
pleaded not guilty and his trial will
take place on Thursday.
John Lopez, another colored citizen
Of Moorsstown, had signed waiver OF
indictment and wanted to plead not
guilty. There was considerable differ
ence OF opinion about the nature Of the
crime the man had committed. The
justice had sent up commitment for
one offence, there was possibility of
something more serious being dis
covered and the prosecutor said he had
not had time to look into the affair,
10 the court thought it would be just
as well to let the matter rest until the
authorities found out just what the
man had done. He will plead not
guilty to anything and will be tried on
Thursday.
Tony Villac, boy from Riverside,
signed waiver and pleaded guilty to
malicious mischief. He said he had
broken a glass in front door, but did
not known there was any glass there
when the stons that did the mischief
was thrown. He and other boys were
running around, ringing doorbells and
throwing stones at doors. 1t was
shown that the boy had been arrested
for a similar offence once before. He
had been in the habit of staying away
from his home, sleeping in barns, and
had twice run away to Wilmington.
His parents cannot control him so
Judge Lippincott sent him to the Re-
form school at Jamesburg.
