Help the Government

To the residents Of Burlington County:
For the first time in so years patri-
otto citizens have the opportunity of
helping the Government and profiting
by it. The present war calls on every
citizen to do his "bit'', and while
many are not able to carry a gun or
help man our ships, there is not man
woman or child in our County who
cannot help the Government by pro-
vldlng the means which are absolutely
necessary to defend our Country.
The Liberty Loan gives the oppor-
tunity, and at the same time returns
to each purchaser 31z9S on the invest
ment, free of all taxes which NAV be
levied either by the State or Govern
msnt. The Government must have
money, and this loan is the sensible,
business-like opportunity for our citi-
zens to provide.
While bonds are issued in denomi-
nations of 81 900 for those who are able
TO advance large sums of money, the
bonds are also issued in denominations
of $500, 500, and $50, and arrange
ments have been made with the Banks
and Trust Companies in Burlington
County, which will permit purchasers
of these bonds to make weekly pay
ments for them. This means that
$1.OO per week will, in the course of
80 weeks, provide full payment for a
$50. bond, and $500 per week for a
500, bond. 1t is the hope of our Presi
dent, and all others active in our
Government, that every person enjoy-
ing the blessings of our freedom and
liberal laws shall subscribe to as many
bond S as circumstances will permit.
Our Trust Companies, Banks and
Industrial Institutions have responded
nobly to this call, but if our county is
to retain its reputation for patriotism
and leadership, every individual living
within its borders must cooperate and
subscribe at once for Liberty Loan
Bonds.
Respectfully,
Walter II. Lippincott,
RiVertOn. N. ].

Damage bv Hail.

On Thursday afternoon heavy clouds
south of Mount Holly indicated that a
severe storm was in progress, but in
stead OF its being one of the thunder
showers that had been passing over
this section it turned out to be hail.
storm OF unusual severity and which
did much damage. The track of the
storm was through a stretch from
Marion to Chatsworth, about a mile
and half in width. The hailstones
were unusually large and stories told
about them were almost unbelievable.
But Willis j. BuZby, who came to
Mount Holly from Chatsworth, after the
storm, brought some of the stones
with him and it was soon seen that
the reports were not exaggerated.
Many of them were larger than hens
egg, and nearly all OF them were rough
and Jagged, condition that allowed
them to do much more damage than
II they had been of the usual smooth
kind.
At the farm of John P. Lippincott.
near Red Lion, 81 acres of rye were
completely destroyed, and four acres
of potatoes were damaged. Twenty
rive panes of glass were broken at the
residence ON the farm.
Albert Atkinson's rye was totally
destroyed. John Fox lost 20 acres of
rye and his potatoes were cut.
Red Lion seemed to get the worst of
the storm. The windows at the hotel
were smashed and the roof was cut SO
badly that the rain beat in and did
great damage.
Eugene Antrim's house suffered bv
stones breaking the windows on ali
sides.
On the Citizens farm, near Red Lion.
there were three acres OF the finest
strawberries to be seen anywhere in
the county. Only a few DAYS before
the storm the owner had been wonder
ing where he could get pickers but
after the storm there was. absolutely
nothing to harvest. On this property
grain and cabbage were cut to pieces.
At Retreat the Wells brothers lost
half their crop of strawberries. Thew
report the trees and bushes in the pines
toward Chatsworth cut badly and say
tnat the huckleberry crop will suffer
very much.
A peculiar thing about the storm
was that potatoes, while the leaves
were cut somewhat, were not seriously
damaged neither was the corn hurt
much. The reason for the latter es
Gaping was probably because it was not
far enough up to be subject to the
destruction dealt out by the pelting
stones.
