LOCAL OPTION.

The Legislature of the State of New
Jersey at it's recent session passed a
Local Option bill, a law permitting
each municipality to decide for itself
whether or not Intoxicating liquor as
a beverage shall be sold or it's sale
prohibited. The intention is to allow
the greatest measure of home rule
upon this mooted question and put
the matter squarely up to the legal
voters. Voters in sufficient numbers
have exercised the privilege granted
by the law of signing a petition re-
questing such an election in the city
of P~leasantville and the governing
body has set May Dist as the date
for a special election upon the sub
ject. Sentiment is divided, as it is
upon every question, and some of our
best citizens will make their X mark
opposite the word Eyes" while others
will cast a negative ballot. The
Pleasantville Press could not begin to
predict the result, and will not in its
editorial or news columns endeavor
to influence the voters. We will
gracefully accept the will of the ma
jority.

won't help them they don't want it
they can't use it. They ask only that
you bear your share, to the limit of
your capacity, as they are bearing
theirs in this tragic conflict, which is
our national glory.
The way is wide open for you. The

Chinese minister to the United
States, Wellington KoO, says that the
great of China will be need
ed and welcomed by the allies before
the end of the war is in sight, and the
first steps toward the development of
China's resources he declares should
be taken as rapidly as possible, so
that vast armies of fighting men and
great stores of supplies can be drawn.
The people of China, although divided
and constantly fighting among them
selves, are eager and glad to fight for
the principles of world democracy and
liberalism.

In its New Years appeal to the peo-
pie to practice economy, the federal
reserve board said: Nobody should
draw upon the credit of the
country, except to finance transactions
which are essential for a nation at
war. Credit should be saved as much
as goods. Conservation of credit as
regards nonessential enterprises is
necessary in order to provide, without
undue expansion, the credit required
by the government and by business es-
sential to the success of the war and
the well-being of the country" One
would think that the saving Of credit
would be more or less automatically
carried on. AS economy increases,
buying is reduced more and more to
necessities and the credit operations
of those manufacturing nonessentials
and of those dealing in them automat-
ically are reduced, says Buffalo Elk
press. The man who makes or deals
in nonessentials certainly is not like
ly to borrow money merely for the
sake of borrowing.

When the quota Is doubled, the
right is secured to place a large blue
star on the flag if trebled, two stars,
and so on.
The way to help your town to win
the right to fly this flag is to buy all
the Liberty Bonds of the Third Loan
that you can, and induce your friend
to do the same.
When you make the first payment
on your Liberty Bond, you are entitled
to receive an honor emblem to paste
in a window of your house. 1t Is a
reproduction of the Honor Flag, with
suitable wording. No one who has
not bought a bond of the Third Lib
erty Loan has a right to show the
emblem In his window. II any one
displayes any other picture of the
Honor emblem than the one supplied
by the Liberty Loan Organization for
this purpose, he Is deceiving himself
and his neighbors, even though 1t may
be unintentionally.
There is only one way to get this
credit. Buy a Bond! If you haven't
lone it yet, do it now. Let's see your
colors!

The blind are a class singularly and
sadly handicapped in the great strug-
gle of life. Their misfortune is a
life tragedy in itself, and when in adj
dition they are brought into competi-
ton with men possessing the great
advantage of sight, their case is n
deserving every consideration. So the
appeal to help them to help them
selves should nave a prompt and gen
erous response from every sympathet-
ic mind.

Historically" says Prof. G. o.
Clark of Boston, "Istria is a segment
of unredeemed Italy. Geographically
she is es truly Italian. Italy is bound
ed by the Alps and the three seas; and
the Julian Alps swing across the base
of Istria, divide it off from the Slav
hinterland, and give it, by their protec-
ton, a Mediterranean climate, with the
olive groves and the vineyards so char
acteristic of Italy. In fact, as I trav-
eled through Istria, I was struck by
it's resemblance to Greece and Spain,
Especially Estremadura), as well as
to Italy; but there is nothing central
European about 1t.

HOW STRANGERS ACT
IN NEW YORK.

In an article by a great hotel man
in the May American Magazine the
writer says:
at has always been of interest to
me to see how differently people from
other cities or countries act in New
York hotels and restaurants. When a
Westerner or a Southerner sits down
in a New York restaurant, the first
thing he asks for is seafoood. Wes-
terriers are wild about good oysters,
while the Southerner wants fresh
clans.
"There is an interesting difference,
too, between the South Americans and
Westerners in New York. The West
ern man comes to the city eager for a
change in food, room, atmosphere,
surroundings and, in fact, everything.
1.-THE South American Spaniard is
exactly the reverse. He wants his
conditions at home duplicated as near
ly as possible. And because this has
been impressed upon us, we have in
the Hotel McAlpin Spanish bell boys,
clerks, telephone operators, walters,
and last but not least Spanish cooks
