What Next ?

The prevailing idea is that there
must be sacrifices of all sorts during
the continuation of the war and that
people must do without luxuries and
even necessities to aid in reducing the
high cost of living and all that sort Of
thing. The latest suggestion that has
been brought to notice is one that ice
cream soda should be on the tabooed
list. The Philadelphia Ledger has
taken notice OF this matter to the ex-
tent Of giving it leading editorial in
which the paper speaks as follows:
with last blink of bubbles and a
final snort at the bottom of the glass,
the ice cream soda threatens to depart
from our ken. Arrangements for the
final obsequies are not as yet COM
pleted, but limitations of its impend-
ing demise have become apparent in
the Congressional Record, where a
merciless Senator with heart of flint
brands it az q luxury. 1t consumes,
he declares, ice, milk and sugar, which
should be done into more nourishinp
forms. 1t attracts, he further asserts,
nickels and dimes that would better &c
lingling into some war relief channel.
Last and most crushing blow-it fills
no need in the community. Where
the Senator has lived or who he ia be-
comes matter OF hazardous cOnject-
ure. Perhaps it were better to allow
him tightly to wrap around his craven
soul the kind cerements of anonymity,
Tor the way oflthe pioneer is unpopular
and the soda fountain has many and
muscular devotees, But his life must
have scantily lowered In some obscure
hamlet, too small to boast of a corner
drug store where the earliest grass-cut-
ting coppers might be hardly ex-
changed for liquid bliss frappe. Can
1t be that his starved adolescence was
never transported on O heaven bound
excursion, when 1.-THE star-eyed She of
his dreams first consented to grace an
excruciating wire backed chair across
the shiny table from him and burning
glances met and flashed above the
reckless two straws2
Here is man whose life has been
consumed In an arid pursuit OF duty
unadorned. What ecstasy has his
parched throat missed, never to know
the grateful gurglings of that semi
liquid which slips so gladly down and
brings no regrets in its train. The
caiories ostensibly wasted in this
dewy beverage might possibly be utili-
zed in more efficiently tissue building
ways. But who wants tissue, in pref
erencs to quenching his summer
thirst atop q tall and twirly stoop !?
And what is mere prosaic food in COM
parison with romance? Many an am
orous epic has had its indubitable in
ception at the marble soda fountain.
And to be happily immersed for life in
q Hood OF joyous and exclusive COM
partnership is worth many "a pound of
flesh.
Therefore, an analysis of the fate
which threatens him who shall Danish
the effervescing source of warm
weather delights is depressing in the
extreme. He will have few to care for
him, none to love him. His declining
days will be hoar with the frost OF
bachelordom. For where is the woman
who conceivably bestows a second
glance upon a man who will never, no
never-buy her glass of ice cream
soda?

Base Ball.

Taubel, of Riverside, came to Mount
Holly, Saturday, but the team, al
though strengthened since it's last. visit,
still had some weak spots, the worst of
which was at shortstop, the player at
that position having four errors that
were costly. Hubbs pitched nice
game for Taubel and Forbes did we'll
but was not forced to exert himself
Beaudry put up fine game at second,
making one error which was more
through carslessnsss than any other
cause as the game had been settled
when the error was made. Following
is the score:

Mount Holly will go to Delanco next
and will go to Toms River
the following Tuesday. A gentleman
who accompanied the Riverside team
to Mount Holly, Saturday, said Eddie
Williams told him the reason why no
attention was paid to Mount Holly's
desire for game was that the latter
would not travel. The above an

Holly has been TO Florence twice shows
how much there is to the statement of

HENRY FORD, PATRIOT

When asked for the terms on
which he would turn over his big
eastern assembling factory to the
government for use during the
war, Henry Ford replied, No
terms at all; take it. OF course
there are those who viii belittle
the act with the remark that he
can we'll afford it, but it was none
the less a princely act Of loyalty.
And it stands out in such vivid
contrast to the actions and words
of many professionally loyal peo-
pie that it is especially notice
able. Mr.. Ford did all in his
power to prevent this country
going to war, even going SO far
as to subject himself to ridicule
in his efforts for peace. Now,
however, that his country is into
it, his brains, his energy, his re-
sources and, we doubt not his
life as well If it were required,
are at his country's order. Of
such stuff are patriots made.

ces so cheerfully made by those
old heroes of the long ago.
This duty is looming larger
and larger, clearer and clearer,
as the days 60 by. We are be-
ginning to recognize the eternal
truth that if ALL would enjoy,
ALL must serve. You and T.
should either be favored at the
expense of the other? Your boy
and my boy-have not both been
the recipients of the same pro-
lection and fostering care, and
shall my son refuse to make the
sacrifice while your son bares his
breast to the storm?
There is a theory that gold, that
most precious of metals, was at
one time deep hidden in the cen
ter of this globe, but that the vio-
lent internal convulsion to which
the old ball has been subjected
have thrown it to the surface.
If the present social convulsion
shall be the means Of bringing to
the surface of human character
the pure gold Of sacrifice and an
appreciation of the duty Of the
individual to society, great good
will come of the trials we are
called upon to endure.

EDISON, THE SILENT.

For many weary months now
the world has been asking the
question, what is Edison do
ing?' and as yet there has been
no definite answer. We are as
sured in vague terms that he is
perfecting some device or de-
vices that will have powerful in
fuence in terminating the con,
flict, but the months drag on and
we are as much in the dark as
ever. We are mysteriously in
formed that he has discovered or
located or invented some kind of
ray" that will burn up. a battle
ship or a town at a distance of
many miles, but that ray" has
not yet illuminated our darkness.
1t may be that one or more of
his discoveries are already in
use. If so, why not let the pub
lie know? Surely the bare know
ledge that our faith in him is not
misplaced, could work no harm.
Seriously, the American people
need all the encouragement they
can get in the days that are be-
fore them, and if Mr.. Edison's
genius is still working full time
it would help us to'know ii.

DUTIES VERSUS PRIVILEGES
PRICELESS BLESSING OF AMERICAN
PEOPLE Pale FOR IN BLOOD OF
OUR F0REFATHERS.

When the present conflict
burst upon the world, humanity
democratic humanity-was as
leep. 1t was sleep that had
lasted since Washington and his
ragamufin army had first made
the world safe for democracy
His work had been done, and
well-done, and Americans had
for more than a century been
living under the delusion that
there was nothing more to do in
the cause of human freedom.
From the establishment of this
republic, orators and writer's
have never tired of ringing the
changes on the glorious privileges
of American citizenship. They
are, instilled into us from the
Kindergarten to the college,
They are the daily pabulum up.
on which our Americanism is
nourished.
The world cataclysm found us
making a fetish of our rights"
and privileges" We were ex-
tremely jealous of them, and re-
sented any infringement Of them
with the fierceness of a brood
ing hen. We were proud of them
and flaunted them in the face Of
our less fortunate neighbors
across the water.
But one thing we had forgotten,
namely, that someone had paid a
price for these priceless bless
ings Of liberty; somebody had
purchased them, and we were
not that somebody or somebodies.
they had been purchased by
BLOOD, but as WE had not shed
that blood, we have never fully
appreciated the value of the pur-
chase.
And we are only just beginn-
ing to grasp the fact that our re-
volutionary sires, when they had
marched through blood to the
goal of their inspiration, be-
queathed to us, their descendants,
not only the glorious blessing of
liberty, but by the side of it and
hand in hand with it, the duty of
preserving it in its purity as re-
ceived. That duty has never
been lifted from our shoulders,
and never will be-, unless we
shall so far fall short as to cease
to value the fruits of the sacrifi-

TO RAISE SUBSCRIPTION RATE
AFTER DECEMBER FIRST PRICE OF The
PIONEER WILL Be $1.50---ADVANCE
IN COST OF MATERIALS REASON.

It has been evident to the pub
fishers of this paper for some
time that unless the price of pa
per and other materials used in
getting out a newspaper was re-
duced the time was near at hand
when it would be necessary to
raise the subscription and adver-
tising rates in order to meet this
increased expense. We have hes
itated about taking this step,
hoping that it would not be nee
essary, but all indications point
to an even greater advance in the
price Of every article used in a
newspaper Office, rather than a
reduction. 1t has been our en-
deavor to give our readers good,
live weekly newspaper, and this
we will continue to do, the slight
advance in the price of the paper
being absolutely necessary in the
face of present conditions.
Scarcely a newspaper in the
country is being published today
for 81 per year and many have
recently raised to So. Unlike any
other lines of business, the news
paper cannot advance the charge
for much of its work to meet
the changed conditions. The
amount we are allowed to charge
for legal publications, county Of
ficial printing, and such other
matter has long been established
by law and will not admit of any
change. The only two things
therefore which we are permitted
to change is our subscription and
advertising rates.
We are going to give our read
ers plenty of time in which to
renew for one year at the pre-
sent rate of 81. All subscript-
ions taken prior to December 1st
1917, will be at that rate, proyid-
ed that it may not be for. more
than one year in advance. After
December 1st. the regular price
will be $1.50.
You will receive a statement
of your account within the next
two weeks which will give you
thirty days in which to renew
before the new rate goes into ef-
feet. In order for you to receive
the benefit of this offer your re-
newal must reach this Office be-
fore December 1st. If you are

On the western plains prairie
fires are a serious question, much

All machinery using gasoline
should be in the hands of respon-

Camp fires in wooded districts
have caused many forest fires
which take such heavy toll of

should know how to make a

ions, serious fires result.
