THIRD GOES IN
18th DIVISION
Official Orders Are Now
Received.
new STATE GUARD
Governor Edge Is Preparing to
Make Organization For
New Jersey.

Camp Edge, Sea Girt, N. j., Aug. z
New Jerseys mobile troops will all
be under the administration of the
twenty-ninth division from now on.
Orders were received here by General
Barber today under which the first
provisional brigade of infantry, con-
/, sisting of the Second and Third regi-
ments of New Jersey and the First
regiment of Delaware are officially at
tached to the division. The district
of Columbia regiment is ordered de-
tached, and it is understood it will be
: attached to some other division.
Colonel Horace M. Reading, COM
manding the Second regiment, and
the provisional commander of the bri-
gade effected by the orders above
mentioned. has reported to Brigadier
General Charles w. Barber, who is
the provisional head of the entire
twenty-ninth division. This order
brings under the administration of
General Barber the First, Fourth,
Fifth, Second and Third regiment in
fantry, the First regiment light field
artillery, the First squadron cavalry,
the First battalion engineers, the two
signal corps companies, the divisional
headquarters troop, the ambulance
company and the field hospital.
Announcement was made that the
regiments in the entire district which
are now on guard duty will be con-
centrated in regimental camps as soon
as the federal government relieves
them by placing other troops at the
points they consider vulnerable.
The fact that mans former en-
ployers are willing to continue his
wages and maintain his family in that
way in his >nce from work if he
is enlisted in the army will not give
the men an excuse to remain. Cen
eral Barber made it plain today that
any man who has dependent relatives
is not to be in this part of the army
no matter what arrangements his en-
ployers may agree to toward continu-
ing his salary.
y He said that in the event of the two
parties drawing up formal agree
ment, which could be made founda-
ton for compulsory continuance of
salary, it might slightly affect the sit
uation, but that the purpore of the
law was that no men with dependents
would be admitted to the service now

Mr.. Channels called attention to

Complaint was also directed to be

pany concerning lamps not being
lighted at night.
Corporation Counsel Bacon said that
the Public Building committee of the
Board of Freeholders would recon-
mend to the Board the opening Of
Washington Street in accordance with
the plans now being worked out along
the Armory site.
The engineer was directed to pro-
vide an estimate of cost of the paving
of Water Street south from Lincoln
Street, so that the Gulf Refining Co.
may submit the matter to it's direc-
tors, with a view of making a contri-
button toward the expense.

TO-DAY THE
FREEHOLOERS
Meeting To-day Over at
Court House.
ROAD MATTERS,
New Propositions Are Coming in
For Building of State
Roads.

FROM Daily Pioneer, August 8, 1917
The midsummer meeting of the
Board Of Chosen Freeholders will be
held today at the Court House build
ing, the second Wednesday in Aug
ust, the stated meeting, coming early
in the month.
When Director Bacon calls the
Board together today, practically ev-
cry member will be present. There
will be considerable business to be
transacted. In addition to the pay
ment of a considerable number of
bills the Board will consider some
bridge propositions and will also dis
cuss road matters.
The situation in the bridge matter
is fairly fortunate. Despite the, seri-
Gus loss caused by recent storm in
sweeping aawy bridges, it is quite
likely that there will be sufficient
money in the bridge accounts to meet
the new building propositions. The
Freeholders have been very careful
in expenditures this year and consii-
cradle balances are being carried
over.
Road matters will require consid-
cradle attention. 1t is understood
that there will be presented two ap-
plications for state road Improve
ment, one of them coming from Fair
field township.
There will also be discussion rela-
tive to the improvement of roads in
Maurice River township.
Numerous minor matters will be
brought to the attention of the Board
by various members.

POTATO PRICES
STIFFEN|NG

Buyers are showing some anxiety
about getting potatoes and the price
10 stiffening.
Four carloads went out from West
Bridgeton and below yesterday and
the shipment today will probably be
larger.
The price yesterday reached 81 and
$410 a barrel. What the farmers
want now is little cooler weather
and some rain.
Loading the potatoes into the cars
in bulk during this hot weather is
attended with the risk of heating.

times remain at home in comparative
ease and comfort enjoy greater politi-
cal rights than those who expend their
blood, their time, their money and the
energies in the front ranks of demo-
cracy's armies 1t is unthinkable.
The New Jersey State Chamber of
Commerce believes that definite ac-
tion should be taken to make certain
that such a situation be avoided.

A Conflict That Sooner or Later the
World Must Face.
"A writer in an English journal has
suggested that the next great war vii!
be between man and the insect world
This war would lie waged not only on
insects that actually attack man him
self, but also on all those winged or
creeping things that are his enemies in
less direct ways-those species that, to
use the writer's phrase, exist at the
expense Of human progress and happi-
ness
We all shudder with horror at the
thought of scorpion or Of centipede.
although few of us ever see one of
them. but we do not shudder enough at
the thought Of the, untold millions of
disgusting things that we are putting
up with all the time.
Perhaps it is unfortunate for us that
many Of these harmful and even death
dealing insects are very small. If they
were as large as they are bad we
should soon rid ourselves Of them.
When We see the housefly or the mos
quito hugely magnified we realize at
once that. compared with them struc-
turally, the tiger is charming and
beautiful thing. but we 60 away and
forget the magnified picture and sub
NIT to the original Of it.
The determination Of these pests is a
duty that the world faces, righteous
crusade In which we should all join.
The scientists will tell Us the best way
to wage the fight. but scientific meth
DDS must be REINFORCED by public
opinion that will cease to tolerate un-
clean dwellings, stagnant pools, uncov-
cred tanks. accumulations Of exposed
filth and everything else that invites
vermin and menaces human beings.

Know your BUSINESS
In the American Magazine James A.
Farrell. president of the United States
Steel corporation, says:
ANY one wishing to acquire compre-
hensive knowledge Of his business or
of any specific subject must not try to
store his mind with endless details
about other things. For example, I.
have tried to learn all could about the
steel business in it's mining. manufac-
turing, selling and transportation.

business information in my head /
have not attempted to retain in my
mind minute detailed data about poll
tics or baseball.
absorb what to you is essential
that is, everything pertaining to your
field Of endeavor. Abolish from your
mind nonessential, extraneous sub
jects. No human brain has cells enough
to store up all the facts about all sub
jects under the sun. Don't clog your
brain cells with tmpedimenta. Feed
them only with vital material, with
things that will enhance your useful
ness in your sphere Of activity by in
creasing and improving your stock Of
needful information"

Pattern Coins.

Pattern coins and trial pieces are
now guarded with the greatest care by
the mint authorities, and the govern
ment does not permit them to be own
ed by private persons-that is, those
patterns made since the year 1887.
Before that time the government sane
, toned the sale Of certain specimens,
but when it was discovered how many
Of all the different varieties were in
the possession of coin collectors an at
tempt was made to confscate them
wherever found, but this resulted in
failure.
A twenty dollar brass trial piece
struck from dies of twenty dollar gold
piece at Denver mint was the first coin
of any denomination to be made there.
It was presented to the State Histor-
ical Society Of Colorado and at once
took it's place among the many rare
trial pieces and pattern coins which
are nowadays highly priced by coin
collectors.-Magazine of American His

Growth of the English Language.

A study Of the relative growth Of the
leading languages in the last hundred
years shows that English has risen
from fifth to first place. In 1900 it was
spoken by about one-eighth Of the In
habitants of the civilized world; today
it is the language of about one-third.
Besides this, English has taken the
place that French occupied much less
than 100 years ago as the interna-
tional language. Its speech is ever be-
coming wider, for the inhabitants of
all India are finding it necessary; it is
now a required study in the high
schools Of Japan. and those of China
are teaching it to millions of students.
Would it be too rash to predict that
by the year 1000 English will be the.
language Of all the world and other
tongues will have become merely local.
