exercises conducted by officers and
members of the lodge. who were seated
on the stage, vocal selections by a
Philadelphia quartette of mixed voices,
and very fine address by Rev. Karl
NJ. Block, chaplain of st Georges

Mr.. Block, singing of Aud Lang Syne
and doxology, and dismissal prayer
and benediction by Mr.. Block
In his address, Mr.. Block stated that
at this time memorial service has
special significance on account of the
great sacrifice of lives in the world war.
This war has demonstrated that death
has been robbed of its terrors, as shown
by the fact that so many men were
willing to make the supreme sacrifice
for the good of mankind. There were
no towards in the army in France. All
the men were willing and anxious to
get into battle, regardless of danger
and probable death, prompted solely
by the desire to give freedom to ali
downtrodden nations.
He pointed out that people at home
have new responsibilities and duties
thrust upon them, as the army return
ing from abroad now expects to
have higher ideals accomplished in
matters of government, morality and
righteousness. These men have tVpi-
fed the teachings of fraternity and the
brotherhood of man by fighting that
those ideals might become universal
The address was timely and forceful,
and very pleasing to every, one
present.
The vocal selections were appropriate
to the occasion, and we'll rendered by
excellent voices, as was evidenced by
the many words of commentator
from those present.
The quartette was composed of Miss
May Farley, soprano; Mrs. Russell
King Miller, contralto; Wilbur Herwig,
tenor, and @. Russell Strauss, baritone,
with Herman ID. Cotter as ac-
companist. They all reside in Philadel-

Swindler CAPTURED

Some time ago man worked at the
Mirror Office, going under tie name of
John Doering. Some of his actions
then led to the impression that he was
not exactly what he represented him
self to be and it was not long before he
gave evidence that he was a crook
He got into the good graces of David
Cerlin, the tailor, and passed a worth
less check on the latter and then
skipped from the town.
Detective Parker had been on the
lookout for the fellow and last week
received information that caused him
to send detective Todd to MillviIle.
AT that place Doering was found. He
was at his trade, working in news
paper office. When told by the official
that he was wanted he was inclined to
refuse to go but he got out of that
notion and finally accompanied the
detective to Mount Holly. His de-
parture caused much Inconvenience in
the printing Office at Millville, as.the
proprietor was short of help and the re-
moval of the man meant delay in get
ting the paper out.
While Doering accompanied the
officer to Mount Holly he denied hav-
ing ever been here before and said
there was a great mistake and injustice
being done to him. Mr.. Cerlin was at
the railroad station to identify the fell
low and when the man passed the
office where he had worked when in
town he kept his eyes straight ahead
and did not give any evidence of
knowing anything about the place.
He was locked up and will be tried,
AS he is under indictment he was not
given any hearing.

In court, Friday, Judge Lippincott
decided the case of Louis Shinn, who
was tried Thursday of the previous
week on the charge of larceny of an
automobile. There were some points
that were to be looked into by the
court and counsel and when they had
been presented the verdict was guilty.
The man was put in charge of the pro-
baton officer and ordered to pay the
costs of prosecution
Lewis n. Nelson, who was indicted
for assault and battery, and who had
pleaded not guilty, changed his plea
to that of non vult contendere. He
was represented by Senator Wells.
Herman Croshaw, on whom the as
sault was committed, said he had
found an automobile in the yard at
his farmhouse at Wrightstown. Not
knowing to whom it belonged he had
run it into wagon shed. A dav OF
two later Nelson came along and said
the machine was his. He accused the
people at the farm of having driven
the car and doing it much damage as
it was out of repair when it was run
into the farmyard for safe keeping.
Croshaw claimed that the defendant
used insulting language to the women
around the house. Nelson repaired his
auto and started for Wrightstown. He
was followed by Croshaw, who had
some words with him, and the result
was that Nelson knocked the former
down, bruising his neck and arms very
much. Nelson denied much that Gro
shaw had told, but did admit that he
struck the complainant. The sen.
tence was fine of 500.

they received a letter from their son,
Carl b. Smith, written on November

his bed in a Red Cross hospital in
France, and expected to be about in
short time. The letter was doubly
welcome as the parents and brother of

the highest percentage of its members
in the service than any other organiza-
ton in the state, if not in the United

great that it was necessary to abandon
its nice furnished club room on Cross

Community THANKSGIVING
Service.

The Community Thanksgiving Ser
vice, which was extensively noticed in
advance, was held in the Methodist
church, on Thursday There was a
large congregation present. Rev. l..
M. Bicknell was in charge. The flags
of the Allies were displayed They
were beautiful creations of silk and
were loaned by w. C. Wetherill.
The services opened with singing
praise God From Whom All Bless
ings Flow" followed by the songs,
Keep the Home Fires Burning"
Long, Long Trail'' and "America !"
These were heartily joined in by the
congregation. Rev. Mr.. Bicknell led
prayer and Mr.. Rupert read the Presi-
dents Thanksgiving proclamation.
This was followed by singing 'oThe
Marseillaise, Scripture reading and
singing THE Son of God Goes Forth
to War"
Rev. Thomas S. Hammond delivered
stirring patriotic address. He GER
tainly was enthused on his subject and
Notwithstanding the length of it the
congregation did not show signs of be-
ing tired and heartily applauded many
of the speakers utterances. Rudyard
kipling's occasional was sung and
then there was a short address by
Lieut.. Mcneil, who gave some of his
experiences at the front The services
closed with singing The Star-Spangled
Banner"
There seemed to have been a hitch
somewhere in the affair. Capt. Richard
J. j. Watt, who was down as the man
to make the special address, did not
appear. The orchestra was present,
but not having had any practice with
the organ, could not render much help.
The organist was not told in advance
what he was lpected to play, and one
of the songs had to be given without
accompaniment Music for
some of the Others was given the Or
ganist by member of the orchestra.
But despite these few minor oversights
the services were highly enjoyed by
those present.
The collection amounted to S6l.71
and was given to the Mount Holly
Dorcas Society. I

CHESTNUT STREET OPERA HOUSE.
"Seven Days Leave" is being pre-
scented in Philadelphia, at the Chest
nut Street Opera House, beginning
last evening, The playgoers of Phila-
delphia will have an opportunity of
seeing melodrama that holds unique
record in the history of the English
speaking stage. Written by Walter
Howard, the most successful of later
day melodramatic writers, it has been
running for two years at Sir Henry
Irving's Lyceum Theatre, London, and
is being simultaneously played in Aus
tralia, South Africa and Canada, while
the company which presents 1t here is
practically the same as appeared in it
for over twenty weeks at the Park The
atre, New York, closing last May. In
the production now being given in
London, and which has played to an
average business of about $4,000 a
week, the play is essentially British,
but in the American version, to be
seen here, the leading character is a
Young Irish American who has become
a major in the British army, while the
big scene in the third act denotes the
gun deck of an American cruiser de-
stroying an enemy u boat. The last
scene shows group of American sol
diers at the dedication of shrine in
an English churchyard and their de-
parture for the fighting lines in France.
''Seven Days Leave" by the way, is
the term used in Great Britain for the
furlough granted the fighters to run
across the channel for visit home.
The action of the play occurs within
this seven days, and during that time
! the plans of an invention of the Yam
kee major are stolen by German spies,
and the English heroine and the Ger.

the latter attempts to signal to a sub

The installation of an agricultural
course in the Mount Holly high school
has been found impractical at this
time owing to the provisions of the law
governing such courses. Because
agriculture has been considered by the
lawmakers as branch. of manual
training, the small expense of install
ling the course must be taken from

The annual meeting of the Burling
ton County Tomato Growers As
ISOLATION was held at the court house
on Saturday. The following officers
were elected: Frederick Lippincott,
Moorestown, president; Jesse A. Cram
mer, Birmingham, vice president
Harry Brick, Medford, secretary
Nathaniel b. Jones, Masonville
reasurer.
The principal subject of discussion
was the price of tomatoes next year
The consensus of opinions was that il
should be $50, the price paid this yea
/ by the Campbell Company. The opin
ion prevailed that the farmers SHOULD
take the same position that any bust
ness man assumes when he has any
thing to sell, namely to fix the price OIL
his product, based upon cost and |
reasonable profit.
The price of $50 was decided to b.
recommended to the state federation o
tomato growers, which organization i
to set the price for 1919. This is to b
based on the average cost of production
during 1918, as determined by survey
that are being made by the federation
in every tomato growing county il
