unless specifically arranged otherwise.
1t is believed that the people Of Amer
icus are sufficiently patriotic to fall
n line On this proposition almost
UNANIMOUSLY.
Many house wives in Americas still
practice the old system of calling up
their grocer, market man, dry goods
or other merchant several times dur
ing each day and giving their orders
for goods which they want sent out
"at once" these good ladies are, per-
haps, not unpatriotic but they have
rot come to realize that they are not
only placing a wholly unnecessary
expense on the merchants but assist
Ing the Kaiser in his effort to defeat
America though in an indirect way
of course
Practically every merchant and
dSiness man who can possibly do so
IS expected to be present at the meet
ing tonight; as matter of fact, the
necessity of supporting our govern
rnant and backing up our boys at the
front is becoming SO imperative that
NJ man can afford to display a lack
of interest in a matter of such vital
importance as cooperation in its
fullest sense during these crucial
times.
