MIS- NIGHT
WiIdWood's Masked Carnival

WfIdW0od's Masked Carnival
One of the pleasantest recollections
we retain of last years festivities, 10 the
masked carnival held near the close of
the season and which attracted more
merry-makers to the boardwalk than
had any previous attraction. Inspired
by the success Of last year, the enter
tainment committee is making extern.
sive preparations for an even larger
and merrier time on Labor Day, Mon
day, September 8, when Mischianza
Night, Wild woods Masked Carnival,
will open wide the gates of the city to
the merrymakers and noisemakers.
Mischianza Night will be Wild
woods night for a general good time
and those persons missing this oppor.
tunity of enjoying themselves, will be
depriving themselves of a treat.
Merrymakers are urged to mask and
costume themselves, the more the
merrier and the odder the better. The
use OF confetti will be allowed.
The boardwalk will be lit by JAP
anese lanterns. A universal lighting
OF every business place with lanterns
will add the touch of ~weirdness that
is such a big factor in the success of q
hight of masked gaiety that the use of
lanterns in places off the boardwalk on
Mischisnza night, especially In those
hotels which are forming Mischianza
parties among their guests to send them
in a body to the board walk, Is suggest
ted. By lending their cooperation in
this way, the hotels will not only make
things lively for their guests, but will
also be supporting a masked carnival
that is making Wildwood's Mischianza
Night, one of the eagerly awaited festi-
walls of the year.
Costumes and lanterns, noise and
confetti, are the four big words for the
general all-around good time on Mis-
chianza Night, Wildwood's great
masked carnival on Labor Day, Mon
day September 8.

Concerted Drive on August 2sth.

What promises to be a record day In
the history of Cape May County Is the
Red Cross Day for seashore resorts to
be observed on August 25th, by all of
Jerseys resorts. A committee appoin-
ted by the chapter has been touring
the county and resorts making arrange
ments and srousing the enthusiasm of
all Red Cross members. A uniform
advertising scheme will be used by
every branch, the material for the same
coming from headquarters, SO that the
people of Jersey will see that the Red
Cross as a Jersey organization is foster
ing the move and IL is not the scheme
of some individual resort. Tags, pins,
remnants, badges etc., are being
prepared aud everything will be In
readiness for a drive on August 25.
The Wildwood branch will place the
greatest emphasis on the promoting of
the bazaar to be opened all of Red Cross
Day in the local headquarters on the
boardwalk. Personal requests have
been ~septout to every member for dona-
tions of articles of clothing, food stuffs
etc., to be placed on sale and there has
been a hearty response but the more
returns the larger Will be the monies
collected for the Red Cross. Also one
should get the impression that they
have done enough, for the demands be-
ing made on the Red Cross are becom-
ing heavier each day and your support
is needed. If you have the time, report
at headquarters and offer your services
as an aid, enter in the bazaar or to sell
tags and etc., on the boardwalk, mar
the booths, or one of the numerous
other tasks. Wildwood has been a lead
er in the past and this will be the last
call for assistance this summer and a
hearty cooperation is sought.

 The prima donna watched him, never thinking to try her luck her. self, for she had never fired any sort of arm in her life. But one day late in August she picked up the rifle and to her astonishment in 50 shots hit the bulls eye 23 times. Thereafter she practiced un- til she could do better
 The Waterbury Country Club goes in extensively for clay target shoot ing, holding tournament weekly during the summer The president invited Miss Schiff to participate in them. By this time she had had 612 pound 12 gauge gun made and had become proficient in the weapons use. In six of the meet ings she won 12 gold and silver trophies. Her best score was 43 out of 50.
 While on her way to rehearsal in New York recently Miss Schiff dropped into a shooting gallery and tried her hand with the revolver She knocked down so many clay pipes, rabbits, ct cetera. that the proprietor saw visions of business ruin and ordered her to stop.

 TO THE GRAND JURY

SEATTLE, Oct 24,, Judge Meter CT in addressing the, federal grand jury regarding slackers pointed out hat liberty must not be made license by those criticising public officers and the government, and that war time must be regarded as wholly exceptional He added. in part:
 We are now engaged in a great war. A crafty autocratic foe, the imperial German government, has assaulted our flag and invaded our rights, and Congress has, by reso- lution, directed the President to em- Dloy the entire naval and military lorces of the United States and the resources of the government to wage war against the Imperial German government and has also passed a law authorizing the President to in crease temporarily the military es tablishment of the United States.

 This government can only be maintained by the enforcement of it's laws.
 This government being engaged in the war, there is only one side to the controversy as far as patriot ic citizens are concerned, and that is the side of the government of the United States
 "All citizens are free to express their views on all public questions so long as it is not done at a place or in a manner to give aid or com fort to the enemy, nor for the pur- pose of hindering or obstructing the government in carrying out it's de- clared policy No person has a right to convert the liberty of speech into a license for opposition to the government, and carry it to a point where due execution of the law is interrupted; nor can he give aid or comfort to the enemy in whatever he may say or do.'
