New Regulations for Sale of
T.iOuOr

New rules governing the sale OF
liquors by hotel keepers and wholesale
houses were announced by Judge Lip
pincott, on Saturday, the day for
granting a number of renewals of
licenses. The judge had summoned
all license holders to be present to hear
the new regulations, and forty-three
answered the call.
The court stated that since the last
term when licenses were granted, Camp
Dix has been established in this county
and by reason thereof new problems
have arisen relative to excise affairs.
Military efficiency requires that
soldiers shall abstain from the use Of
liquors, and the government has made
stringent laws to prevent the men from
doing 50. Sobriety must be maintain
ed in the army.
The Judge stated that he had been
watching the situation since the camp
started, and had observed that there
had been some disturbances due TO
soldiers getting liquor He said it is
necessary to grant licenses under GER
tain conditions, which will apply also
to those licenses which have not vet
expired.
No sales of bottled liquors shall be
made by holders of inn and tavern
licenses; all drinks must be served for
use within the building only.
A hotel keeper who also holds a
wholesale license shall eliminate en-
tirely the sale of whiskey by wholesale,
and shall sell or deliver other drinka-
bles between the hours of six a. m. and
six p. m. only:
Under the new rules, hotel keeper
holding retail license only, or both a
ret all and wholesale license, can sell
whiskey only by the single drink.
The holders Of wholesale licenses.
only are required to sell or deliver be
tween the hours of six a. m. and six d.
M. only. and are to exercise care as to
whom sa les are made. The character
of the person requesting liquor; the
quantity ordered; the probable use for
which it is intended, ETC., must be con
sidered before the sale is made.
The above conditions or rules, the
court stated, shall apply to all license
holders. Noncompliance by those
whose licenses have not expired will
mean that those persons will be con-
sidered unfit to retain licenses.
The Judge stated that it is the duty
of every license holder to report to the
Prosecutor any suspicious as to the
illegal sales of liquorSin speakeasies;
also where the liquors come from that
are delivered to such places.
Sanitary conditions at hotels also
were referred to. Bad toilet facilities
and unsanItary towels had been re-
ported in some hotels. These condi-
tions must be remedied at once.
After exacting promise from each
applicant that the new rules would be
complied with, the court granted the
following licenses:

John Davis, of Browns Mills, made
application for renewal of his license.
His hotel is located within five miles OF
Camp Dix and was among those closed
recently by order of the government.
He made the application in order that
when Camp Dix ceases to exist he will
be in the position of applying for a re-
newal and not new license. The
court continued the hearing of the ap
plication until December 18th, stating
that at this time no licenses can be
granted to places near the camp.

Lieutenant F. R. Curtis has been
commissioned by Captain Laing of
Company 1, 311th Infantry, to organ
ize company glee club. Curtis was
at one time a member of the Cornell
Glee Club. Some time sduring the
winter the company may give enter
tainments in the county to swell the
company fund, which needs boosting.
The boys want piano in their bar
racks but have no funds to make the
purchase. Other nearby companies
are fortunate in having both pianos
and victrolas, which were contributed
by the communities from which the
men were drafted.

The Burlington Enterprise has,
daily, some questions. One of the
latest was: why is it that some PEG
pie can keep pigs within the city linn
it's and others are not allowed to p
Possibly the answer might be that
anybody can keep pigs in the limits
mentioned, unless there is an ordin
ance against it. The health officer Of
Mou MT Holly has decided that a pig
pen is allowable if it is kept clean
The pen which caused the complaint
is within two hundred yards of a resi-
dence and the smell was Objectionable
After the opinion of the health office
had been given he was asked if pig
pen, right under the window OF hi
house, would be all right, if kept clean
This was bringing it right home, bu
there was not any chance to take &
back step and the first decision had t.
stand.

Notwithstanding one coroner,s iur,

Notwithstanding one coroner's jury
could not see anything but simple
accident in the killing OF child by a
careless automobile driver, the grand
jury found sufficient evidence to indict
the driver for manslaughter. Another
coroner's jury found the driver of a
machine guilty of manslaughter and
the grand jury sustained that action
by returning an Indictment. While
the evidence was plain in both cases
the charge of Justice Kalisch brought
the matter clearly to the grand body.
1t was one of the most sweeping and
convincing charges delivered in
these courts for some time. OF course
the men indicted will be given their
right to be tried by jury of their peers
and comment on their innocence or
guilt is not in order here. That will be
tested later.

Random Remarks.

The fountain at the intersection of
Main, Mill and Washington streets &C.
cupies so much space that it is inter-
fering with street traffic. Since the
opening Of Camp Dix the automobile
travel has increased by leaps and
bounds, and about all of it goes past
the fountain. The space ON two sides
is narrow, and frequently there is a
blockade of travel in two directions.
This occurred several times on Satur-
day and Sunday.
Strangers driving automobiles fire.
quently become confused when reach
ing this corner on account of not
knowing which side OF the traffic posts
to pass, particularly when coming
down Main and desiring to turn into
Mill street.
II the fountain was removed there
would be increased space and the traf-
fic regulations would be simpler
II drinking place for horses is de-
sirable. much smaller one could be
erected at some other place.
The present fountain is out of repair
and next spring it will be necessary to
have the structure overhauled before it
can be placsd in use, SO this is a good
time to agitate its removal.

An inclination was felt, one day last
week, to find fault with the post office
business. 1t has certainly been any.
thing but satisfactory, lately. Letters
have been lost, morning papers have
been getting here in-the afternoon and
other slight annoyances have hap
pened. But just as the idea occurred
to criticise there was an occurrence that
led to reconsiderat ton. The cause
for complaint was that a package that
was supposed to have been sent early
Thursday morning did not reach here
until Friday afternoon, but to counter
act this came most surprisingly
quick delivery, package mailed in
Philadelphia, at IL o'clock, reaching
Mount Holly a little after two. Sc
one thing balanced the other.
But the freight and express business
are enough to set you crazy. A suit.
case sent by Adams Express company
from Princeton on Friday reached
Mount Holly on the following Tues
day. A package shipped by freight
on the Pennsylvania railroad at Phila-
delphia, on Wednesday of last week
has not yet reached this place.

Food Conservation.

A meeting was held in the auditor
ium of the high school, Wednesday
evening, to take steps toward organic
ing movement to conserve the food
supply. Representatives from many
of the towns in this county were pres
ent and great interest was manifest
ed. The meeting was presided over by
t. II. Dudley Perkins, of Moorestown,
who has been appointed director for
Burlington county to act with the state
commission. He explained the object
of the meeting which was to enlist citi-
zens in a movement as vital as that OF
moving troops to the seat of war. 1t
is not fad but matter of the utmost
importance to every citizen of the Uni.
ted States and it is intended to get all
interested. The state has been divided
into districts, which may be composed
of one or more counties.
Franklin W. Fort, of Newark, was
the speaker of the evening and he gave
very interesting talk on the subject.
The points of IL work as explained by
Mr. Fort may be seen in the following
address which has been sent through
out the state:
Ten million food conservation
pledgesl Twenty-Five million homes

jected so large in its scope that the
work to be accomplished is as great as
though a census of the country were
to be taken in week!

many different state delegations in

they will line up against every such

Today's demonstration will be fol.

for test vote in both houses. This
may be delayed until January, as the

Arguments In Favor
Agricultural Agent

To the Editor:
We have Been informed that a petit
tion has been filed with the County
Court Of Marion county protesting
against an appropriation for the en-
ployment of a County Agricultural
Agent.
Those who have signed such a petit
tion surely do not realize the signifi-
cance of their action. The secretary of
agriculture, as spokesman for the admin
istration and member of the president s
cabinet, has issued this statement:
''In recognition of the County
Agent Is value as a local leader, congress
has provided funds for the immediate
extension of this system to every agri-
cultural county in the United States.
State and county Councils of Defense
and all rural organizations can do a
patriotic public service by assisting the
government and the state in accomplish
ing this end. "
The question is merely: "Shall we
have organized and directed agriculture
in these days of tremendous readjust-
ments, or shall our six million farmers
be wholly unorganized and unofficered
The congress of the United States, in
passing the Food Emergency bills, the
president in signing those bills, the Ma
tional Food Administration, and Nation
al and State Councils Of Defense, have
all answered this question in the al
firmative Surely there are but few who
would knowingly endeavor to obstruet
the program Of the country in its effort
to organize agriculture and increase pro-
duetion.
Our leaders alone are in position to
know the extent to Which the war has
demoralized the agriculture Of Europe
and of Canada. Those who have pat
riotieally given their sons to the pro
lection Of the country can i'll afford to
prevent the government from making
ADEQUATE provision for feeding them
and those whose destinies are linked
with our own.
It is incumbent upon the patriotic cit
izens of Marion county who desire to
uphold the hands Of the government to
act promptly in the matter Of filing an
expression with the County Court sa
overwhelmingly in favor Of the employ
ment Of an agent, that any opposition
which has developed will seem small IN
comparison with the manifestation Of
approval.
The court of Marion county is asked
TO appropriate Sl700 or less than four
cents on each thousand dollars Of asses
sed valuation. The farmers Of the eoun-
ty are urged not only to contribute the
small amount Of money represented by
this appropriation but to cooperate IN
perfecting an organization which viii
assist in carrying out the government
plan and through which surveys may be
made. labor supplied and concerted ae-
tion be secured.

Campaign Headquarters
Are Established For
Pending Red Cross Drive

With the establishment Of campaign
headquarters at 400 United States Ma
tional Bank building, the Christmas
membership drive for $4,000 members
Of the Red Cross in Marion county, is
well under way.
Tomorrow at two-thirty in the after
noon, Mrs. E. Z. Fisher will meet dele
gates from every auxiliary in the city
of Salem and vicinity, at the auditor
ium of the Commercial club The actual
work of the campaign will be canduct-
ed through the auxiliaries, and each one
is asked to furnish quota of workers.
Supplies and instructions are to be Civ
en- out at tomorrow g meeting and every
chairman of an auxiliary is urged to
have at least four delegates from his
OF her auxiliary present at the meeting.
One Of the features Of the campaign
will be the establishment Of Red Cross
booths in various points about the city,
each booth to be incharge Of worker,
who will be appropriately garbed in
the Red Cross cap and insignia. This
department of the work has been plac-
ed in charge of Miss Mabel Witty
combe.
An intensive house to house canvass
is the plan of the campaign, and the
aim will be to put a Red Cross service
flag in every home. The service flag
is a new idea, and consists of a white
flag with blue border with large red
cross in the center. Smaller crosses are
to be pasted on, so that the total num-
Der on the flag will correspond to the
total number in the household. The flag
is to be hung in the window facing the
street.
In connection with the service flag a
ceremony has been planned for Christ
mas eve, when at 1880 a lighted candle
will be placed behind each of the flags,
in order that the Red Cross Christmas
spirit Of the household may be illum-
-inated.
