tainments were furnished. The dining
room was busy place. The number of
meals served on Saturday and Sunday
was $50. All the beds in the house were
occupied on Saturday night, and quite

dated at residences of townspeople.
Among the contributions made to
the club during the past few days were
baskets of peaches by Burwood M.
Haines and Joseph W. Jones, and a
mandolin by Mrs. A. E. Howard.
Contributions of fruit, cabbage and
corn are requested. The western soldiers
greatly enjoy having a chance to eat
those things.

two mattresses in the Mrs. Sima Ellis
burg hotel at Lakewood, indicted for
selling liquor without license, failed
to appear for trial on Wednesday their
bail, 5000 in each case was declared for
feited. WINS B. Thompson, prom
inent Lakewood business man, was
their surety. This makes the third
forfeited bail bond in this case, as
Stella Elisburg, daughter also in
dicted on the same charge had pre-
viously failed to appear on trial day.
When Mine Sweeper 209 was sunk
off Seaside Park on the morning OF

southern part of the county, where
they formerly lived.

was large and the audiences wer'
pleased with the programe. One O
the surprises OF the week was an unex

from DR.. Paul NJ, Pearson, the origina
tor and head of the Chautauqu;
system in the north and east. Besid
talking for awhile to the audience h.
met his old friends and had pleasan
half hour talk with them. He toll
them that the Chautauqua invasion
of the Maritime Provinces of Canad
had been so successful that he ha,
been asked either to go to England Q
| send a representative there, and in
troduce the Chautauqua plan in tina
country as war measure, and tina
some of the prominent men of Fran,
were canvassing the plan to have
similar scheme put in operation
that war-racked country.

Iitnev Fares


The prices that iitney drivers ar
charging for transportation aroun
town and what may be the price dul
ing this week, have been causinI
much discussion. Complaint has beer
made that iitney drivers do not accom-
MEDIATE people who want to go to tn
station. A few days ago man ant
his wife desired to catch train. Tn,
regular iitneys all seemed to be EN-
ployed, SO an attempt was made to ge
one of the four or five standing in
front of the Arcade hotel. But they
were all waiting for a load to go to
Camp Dix, and although itwould have
taken but short time to drive to the
house, get the passengers and go to the
station, the fear that larger fee might
be missed was too great to allow accom-.
mediation to intervene. Finally one
of the drivers consented to take the
people to the station, and he did not
charge 25 cents each as most of the
drivers are doing.
! The subject was taken up at the
meeting Of the township committee
Thursday evening, ana the jitney men
were given to understand that if they
did not show some disposition to ac-
commodate the town people there
might be new ordinance or reyoca-
tion of the one now in force. With
reference to the price to be charged
this week most of the drivers express
a willingness to convey passengers to
the fair ground from Lambs hotel for
Is cents, but if compelled to go to the
railroad station % cents would be the
charge. This does not appear to be
unreasonable. An instance was relat-
ed where woman and her trunk were
carted to residence up town and so
cents was demanded. The driver ex-
planned that he charged Is cents for
the passenger, 25 cents for the trunk
and 10 cents for helping to carry it up
stairs. This is about the same rate
that is charged at hotels in cities and
at the shore. The expressman will
charge quarter for carting a trunk,
but will not carry it upstairs unless
another dime is produced.
Another complaint made against
driver was that he would not wait for
passenger. In this case the man had
three people to pick up. When he got
to the first house the woman did not
know he was coming so early and was
not quite dressed. She hurried, then
she forgot her veil, and then had to go
back after her pocketbook. BY the
time the other two passengers were
reached there was barely time enough
to get to the train. And the jitrey
driver was blamed by all three passen-
gers.
The disposition to neglect accommo-
dating the town people who want to go
to the railroad station appears to be
the chief cause OF complaint and the
township committee has determined
that something must be done to
remedy this situation. The jitnev
drivers are not certain how they wish
to meet this question, but it will prob
ably work out all right

Draftees 10 to So to Go In October

Ia ditSCS 40 " DO ~ NJO In OCtOD6I
Large numbers of single men be-
tween the ages of ninteen and thirty.
six who register on September 18th and
are without occupational or domestic
obligations are to be indicted into the
military service during October.
General Crowder in outlining many
of the features relative to the new re-
gistration, said last week that as soon
as the new questionaires are returned
by the registrants "the boards will
proceed to examine and classify first OF
all questionaires of those age groups
that the president may designate.
"'This designation has not yet been
made" General Crowder said. but he
added:
This prior examination Of the
questionaires of the age groups, which
are to be first liable to call, will enable
the boards to be prompt with suf
ficient number of men to fill the Octo
Der acquisitions.
Although General Crowder declined
to state what ages would be included
in this special class. Secretary of Wa
Baker indicated several days ago hi
approval OF the plan to expedite tn,
work Of sending of men to the train
ing camps by classification of mer
within the ages of nineteen to twenty
one and thirty-one to thirty-six.
This means simply that much tim
will be saved by examining the ques
tionaires OF such men and leave the re
gistrants in the eighteen year an,
thirty-six to forty-five classes, which
offer greater complications for later ex
animation. The eighteen-year clas
presents special problem, due to tn
educational plans now being perfected
while the thirty-six to forty-ive viii
furnish relatively small number o
men for the army, due to industrial
domestic and physical reasons.

Random Remarks

Under the heading "Who says saver
the New York Evening World says
Nowhere can the Government
find better place for its adiuration tc
save paper than in Washington. Ar
appalling flood of printed matter pour,
out daily from the Capitol, choking
the mails and overworking the waste
baskets of its recipients. The furious
card-index faddists are the most per
sistent offenders, in their passion fol
collecting perfectly useless statistics
The Food Administration, George
Creel and the Agriculture Department
compete eagerly to see which can use
up the most material, with the War
Savings Stamp outfit and the Liberty
Loaners good second. A simple query
to the Agriculture Department con-
corning boys corn and egg clubs
brought five pounds of replies--without
including the desired information.
Local bureaus all over the country
are using the printing and frank
ing privileges as if paper and
mail sacks were as plentiful as air. y
To this Life adds the follow
ing: "Our neighbor is on dangerous
ground. 1t should realize that 1t is
always the privilege of every govern
ment official to boil over, not down.
Congress sets the noble example. Talk
is not an art, but disease. To talk
and to have ones talk set up and
printed, together with whatever
interminable quotations may serve to
amplify the verbosity of talking ma
chine---all this, as we see it in the
Congressional Record, is the passion of
Congress. With Congress the chief
protagonist of all MASTERS, the minor
explosive cranks and faddists are inn
mune. To save paper when million
fruitless and stupid ideas must be
exploited---how inconsiderate of any
one, with a war on, to suggest such an
alien thought"

LIVERPOOL LEADS IN
CONSERVATION OF FOOD

Liverpool (by mail).-Liverpool, the
second largest city in England. is lead
ing the whole country in solving the
food shortage problem. 1t has munich
pal kitchens which are models and work
more efficiently than those in any other
part Of the kingdom. 1t sets every
other city in the country an example
by maintaining a municipal potato
peeling plant and cooking the potatoes
for the bakers to mix with the flour.
Its latest enterprise Is supplying
~householders with boiling water for
cooking and washing purposes and
thereby causing a great saving in fuel.
Liverpool's city fathers are very
proud of their efforts to make their
people the most comfortable in the
country in these days Of enforced econ
omy. With a display Of pride they
gladly show visitors these new ways OF
meeting the food shortage. They take
them along the streets where butcher
shops are shut for want of meat. A
sign on the meat market reads: why
buy meat from the butcher when you
can get 1t ready cooked at h o de-
pot?" The argument Is unanswerable,
particularly when there is no meat to
buy at the butchers.
There are eleven municipal cook
shops where q family of four might
buy and take away a satisfying dinner
for 25 cents. Stewed steaks, potatoes
and buildings are the principal articles.
An enterprising city engineer has set
up an engine which runs a machine
that pc els tons Of potatoes In a few
minutes, and also supplies steam to
great %cauldrons in which the potatoes
are cooked. This enterprise supplies
q clean and wholesome flour to the
bakers which is mixed with wheat flour
and helps to produce a delicious bread,
At the food depots a person car buy
for a cent q great bucket Of boiling
water. and the population Is being en-.
couraged to come for this boiling. wa
ter in order to savA-coal. Instead Of
buying coal to boil a kettle for cocoa
or tea people can get as much water
as they want for a cent.
Those responsible for Liverpool's en-
terprise declare that results have al.
ready shown that a workman's family
can live much better and more eco
nomically by buying its meals at the
food depots than by doing its W
cooking.
