COMPANY E Auxiliary

When the Mount Holly soldiers
went to Sea Girt, in July, a company
of women decided to do something to
aid in making the men comfortable.
So they formed an organization which
they designated Company E Auxil-
larry" As the Christmas holidays ap-
preached the women eXerted their eff
forts toward preparing box that
would be appreciated by the soldiers
in camp at Admission, Alabama. The
box contained many articles that were
useful and enjoyable. Each package
was neatly tied with red ribbon and a
spray of holly was attached to it. A
little slow in reaching its destination
and for a time feared to be lost the
box finally reached the camp and its
contents were enjoyed as much as if it
had gone in on time.
The treasurer made a report re-
Gently in which it was shown that
$489.42 had been collected and $482.-
70 spent, leaving $7.13 in the treas
ury. On the 10Th of December a let
ter was sent to every officer and en-
listed man who went out with Com
pany E, requesting that the recipient
send information as to the state of
lilo uCctlIli, anu WACIHCI
article of clothing, any necessity or
luxury might be desired, and already
there have been several requests for
different articles.
The officers of the auxiliary are:
Chairman, A. Maud Gibbs; vice chair
man, Mrs. William A. Slauhgter; Sec
rotary, Mrs. Florence R. Powell;
treasurer, Mrs. Van LEW Schenck
When the auxiliary was organized
Mrs. ]. F. R. Long was vice chairman
and Mrs. Elwood H. Kirby was the
secretary. The former removed from
town and the latter is too i'll to attend
to the duties of secretary so changes
were made in those offices.
On Thursday of this week the auxil
larry will hold meeting in the house
of Union fire company, at 1926
O'Clock. All members and all whC
wish to become members and aid il
the good work are requested to at
tend the meeting.

Court Proceedings
Several criminal cases were heard by

Several criminal cases were heard by
Judge Lippincott on Thursday.
Joseph Ambrosio pleaded guilty of
assault and battery on Dominic Luzio
at Maple Shade on November 9th. The
men were working for contractor and
got into a quarrel. The defendant
struck Luzio with his first.
A fine of $50 was imposed.
Blanche May Cornish, young col
orsd girl, pleaded guilty to larceny of
$40 from the home of Maud K. Harris,
at Rivsrton, where she was employed
as domestic. The money, in gold,
was taken from a child's savings bank
on January 14th.
Sentence was deferred until the court
can inquire into the girls record.
Digeorgio Vincenso and Andrea Cor
dora, who recently pleaded guilty tc
breaking and entering Mitsch's factory
at Riverside, were brought up for sen
tence. The men were caught immedia
tely after they had broken into the
ace. They had a burglars jimmy anC
flashlight' in tn cir possession.

81 years nor more than years in state
prison,

such an official savored too much OF
commercialism. The merchant OIL
manufacturer does not ask for a DEM
onstrator to run his business and Mr..
Wills was not willing to admit that
the farmer was below the average in
tslligence of the merchant and some
manufacturers. There was danger of
being governed to death
Frank s. Chambers and Henry H.
Albertson took exceptions to some of
MIR. Wills remarks and gave instances
where they had personal knowledge of
the value of demonstration.
Mr.. Walther offered a resolution that
the appropriation for a farm demon
strator be increased from $500 to 81 800.
The roll was called and the resolution
was defeated by the vote OF 81 to 6.
Those who voted in favor of the resolu-
ton were Clifton, Leconey, Logan,
Walther, Watson, Lloyd Wright.
Those absent were: Bozarth, Davis,
Delaney, Ford, Haines, of Riverside,
Harker, of New Hanover, Peak, Pew,
Vansciver, Wright, of Shamong.
Changes have been made in some of
the items of the budget. The proposed
reductions are as follows:
Night turnkey at Jail, $720, instead
of $1,4O0; Sheriff's office, expenses,
81, 900, instead of $1,000; Asylum
physician, $500 instead of 5000; Asylum
s12,O0Oinstead of S1S, 600;
Advertising, etc.. $1,000 instead of
81, 500; Clerk of Board, $3.50 instead of
$500; Engineer, 81, 400 instead of 50, 900;
Superintendent of Roads, 50, 200 instead
Of Sl,7OO; County Collector. 1880 in
stead of $1,000; Freeholders' Personal
Bills, $1,000 instead of 81, 900; Janitor
Of Court House, 5000 instead of $500;
Road Appropriation, $40, 900 instead of
s65, 900.
The budget summary was made up
rs follows:
Surplus revenue, $40, 1898. 80; Miscel-
aneous revenue, $31 100000; Amount to
De raised by taxation, 1896, COL IL; Total
amount Of. budget, 1888, 200.
1t will be seen by the above figures
that the main increases are in the sal
iry list, and foot up over 800. In
addition to this there is to be asked an |
of 81, 900 for another de-
,ectiye. A letter from prosecutor Kel-
'ey said that the laws of 1917 gave him
he power to appoint second detec-
i've and he wants the FreehoIders to |
81 500 for salary and $500
or expenses.
1t was found to be necessary to have
another meeting to consider the |
changes in the budget and Tuesday |
lext, at ten o'clock, was fixed as the
lay and time. Whether there will be
my more interest taken in the next /
Meeting remains to be seen.

Through the death from pneumonia
at the Camp Dix Base Hospital last
week OF Private Raymond l.. Henry,
his mother, Mrs. Catherine Henry, OF
Oliphant, Pa, becomes the beneficiary
under $1,000 war risk insurance pol
icy that was written by direction of
Colonel A. V. p. Anderson, command
ing the 312th Infantry here, while her
son was on his deathbed three day ago.
The policy is the first paid on the life
of Camp Dix soldier, and while it
was taken out under conditions that
would have made it impossible under
general insurance laws, it was permits
sible, it is said, under the war-risk in
surance plan, which requires no ply
steal examination of candidate. Hen
ry come here last month with 1000
volunteers for the regular army, for
whom there was no room at Fort Slo-
cum. He was with the detail quar-
tered with the New Jersey boys under
Colonel Anderson.
Members of the township committee,
board of trade and representatives of
the Hanover Water Company met
Thursday to discuss plans for the pro-
posed water and sewer system and it
was decided to meet again next Thurs
day at the Office of William P. Jack
son, when the water company will
have its engineer present to go over
plans for the system. A new well
has been started by the water COM
pany as difficulties were met in the
drilling of the first one after they
had reached depth of $40 feet. They
expect to obtain a needed supply from
the new well at depth of $50 feet
In the meantime the old pumps are
working and furnishing the water for
the residents.
AS soldiers are not allowed into
town, unless with a pass, the Soldiers
Clubs are deserted but the women in
charge in the interval are planning
even greater things when the boys are
allowed to visit them again after the
quarantine has been lifted.

Oh what the clerk of the grand jury is
Tor. That official gets $3.50 year for
what? Before he was appointed the
grand jury selected one of its own
members as clerk, who acted in as
equally an efficient manner as the
present incumbent does and without
extra pay; in fact such procedure
neid when grand jurors did not get
any pay for their services. If the
clerk is not to assist the prosecutor in
drawing indictments it would seem as
II ne were more ornamental than USE
full.

Ocean County Affairs


1t is almost assured that the Island
Heights and Seaside Park bridge will
not be sold under judgment proceed
lngs. PRESIDENT Holman of the COM
pany stated that a payment of $4,000
mas been made on the $30,50O judg-
ment, held by Contractor Edward FAY.
and that he expects to see the whole
Judgment cleaned up at once. Mr..
Holman had insisted all along that the
stockholders must not be frozen out
after putting up $4,000 to build the
bridge, and it looks now as if he and
the directors who stood by him, had
won out. If the matter had come to
a sale, the stockholders interest in
the bridge would have been wiped
out, and it had been planned than an
inside syndicate (into which, however,
any stockholder was welcome) should
put, up the money and buy in the
1t is evidently the plan of Howard
Apologize of Forked River, with his
lawyer, Judge M. L. Berry of Toms
River, to keep up the fight in the con-
test for the office of Surrogate. While
Judge Jeffrey was holding court on
Tuesday, Berry and Apologize appear
ed before him and the lawyer asked
that the Judge swear Applegate in as
Surrogate. Judge Jeffrey announced
that as he had been of counsel for
Thompson in the recount, he could not
take any part as judge in the contest,
and suggested that the course to take
was to make the application to JUS
tice Kalisch. This is taken to mean
that Berry will sue out a quo war
ranto in his efforts to GUST Thompson
as Surrogate.
The Ocean County Board of Taxa
ton heard appeals, last week from
Berkeley township. There were lis
from this township, over 100 of them
being from Ocean Gate. Lots that
heretofore had been assessed at 800
had been increased to 5000 and others
in somewhat similar proportion, and
this was the occasion of the appeals.
The tax board this week will put in a
day going over Ocean Gate and sizing
up the situation. Assessor J. L. Yoder
and solicitor David A. Veeder appear
ed for Berkeley township in these APP
peals.

Random Remarks.

From Trenton comes a story that
will strengthen the opposition Of many
people to vaccination. On the fifth OF
this month child, six years of age,
was vaccinated, and eleven days later
was dead. The doctor who gave the
death certificate put vaccination as the
cause of death. The newspaper report
OF this case says that the doctor who
made out the death certificate was the
man who performed the operation,
that he was opposed to doing it but
complied with the requests of the
child's parents. He saws that before
the time he yaccinated the child she
had not been i'll one day this winter,
but that in twenty minutes after he
had performed the operation the little
girl became ill and finally died in con-
WILSON'S. 1t would look as if the case
should have thorough investigation
AID operation was performed on a
patient who had not been i'll this win
ter, the work being done by a physi-
clan who was opposed to vaccination
and within half hour from the time
he hau operated the child was seized
with an illness that proved fatal. If
the child really died from the effects
OF vaccination, the fatal illness begin
ming in twenty minutes after the oper-
alton, there would appear to have been
something wrong somewhere, as it is
hard to believe that perfectly healthy
child could be attacked in that short
space of time if everything was all
right.

One of the propositions that will be
voted on next Tuesday is that to raise
money to pay an additional detective.
Notwithstanding this does not appeal
very strongly to many of the members
of the Board of Freeholders, they are
powerless in the matter. The entire
affair is now up to Judge Lippincott
aud his approval or disapproval will
settle the matter. The prosecutor of
the pleas took advantage of the law
which says he may appoint an adj
ditional detective, the salary is fixed
by law, and the appointment becomes
operative on the approval of the Judge.
The prosecutor and detective Parker
have each sent communications to the
court in which they set forth the abso-
lutte necessity for another detective,
and it is very probable that the new
officer will soon be in service. The op.
position to this move does not come
especially to the appointment Of an
additional official with the consequent
increase in the salary list, but there is
a growing opinion that the court
expenses are becoming rather heavy.
In the three years that prosecutor KEEL
sey has been in Office there has been
additional help in trying cases, The
Attorney-General has been here twice,
and thus far, In addition to the $4,000
per year paid the prosecutor, the county
has paid about $1,000 for lawyers tc
help him, and it is likely the bill OIL
j the Attorney General for his services
! in the recent murder trial will be
double that amount. We do not have
: to look very far back when Charles E
Hendrickson and the late Eckard P
Budd were prosecutors. They trieC
cases by themselves, and it was very
seldom that additional aid ives called
in, and their annual GALAXY was abou
one half chat now paid. Prosecute
Kelsey claims that he has additions
expenses that cut down she ne
amount. He pays for the mechanical
werk Of drawing indictments, for in
stance and that leads to the question

The order of administrator Garfield,
closing all industries for five days and
causing other minor places to observe
a holiday every Monday for three
months was not received with much
joy throughout the United States, but
it is being obeyed because the people
of this country believe in upholding
the government, probably on the
strength of toast offered in 1916,
which was 'Our country! In her inter
course with foreign nations may she
always be in the right But, our coun-
try! Right or wrong" The people of
the United States have responded
nobly to every call-to buy war stamps
and liberty bonds, to send their men
to the front, in fact to do anything
that would aid in helping us win the
war and this drastic order, coming like
stroke of lightning from clear sky,
with hardly sufficient warning in
which to prepare for the harsh meas
ures that were imposed, was certainly
something that the people were justi-
! fed in resenting. And one of the
features of the affair was that Congress
was entirely ignored and was not con-
suited about the move. Hardly a
newspaper has approved of the order.
As one journal puts it ''as mistake it
| is one of the most amazinO oOntrihu-
tons to the history of party's mis-
management ever recorded" But it
has been made and President Wilson
has endorsed it and the request to
stand by the President" will be com.
piled with by the patriotic citizens Of
the United States even though they
feel the sting and injustice of the dras.
