Serious Accident

One man was killed and another was
seriously injured Friday afternoon
when train on the Pennsylvania rail
road struck an auto truck near Edge
water Park. The truck was the prop
erty of Klein Brothers, of Mount Holly
avenue. Their business was the buy
of junk and they had been on trip to
Burlington. Leaving that city they
went toward Beverly and just before
reaching Edgewater Park started to
cross the railroad. The milk train on
its way to Burlington was rushing
along, and it struck the truck, killing
Morris Klein instantly, and injurine
William SO badly that his life was de-
SPARED of. He was rushed to the River
side hospital and is now on the way to
recovery.
The latter told the story of the acct
dent. He said the truck was going
about eight miles an hour and was
crossing the track east of the tunnel at
e dgewater Park. There appears to be
q clear view both for persons crossing
the railroad as well as for the engineer
OF the train, and why neither of those
in the accident saw. the danger has not
b cen clearly explained. 1t is said that
t he men in the auto saw the train but
thought they could get over. If they
had that view it is somewhat peculiar
that the engineer could not see there
was collision certain and govern his
train accordingly.
Morris was single man but was
soon to have been married. William
married and has wife and children.

Help Win the War

If letter came to Mount Holly, N.
j., from one of your boys now fighting
in France, appealing personally to the
town to.do certain thing easily with
in your power, and assuring you the
army may be unable to win unless you
do this-if that call came you'd shut
up shop and every man, woman and
child would be working on that job,
whatever it might be.
II America fails to produce food. that
appeal, literally, will come to every
community in the nation. If Mount
Holly isn't sure OF its food production,
that appeal is applicable right now.
To be sure of the food production
means to have sufficient farm labor
supply, and to have a sufficient farm
labor supply means that town people
must work on farms in the county fol
few days at time, or longer periods
if necessary, during the rush seasons
of cultivation and harvest.
In every county and community the
emergency farm labor needs must bt
supplied locally-by town volunteer.
and high school boys, by forcing al
Eidlers to go to work, by applying tt
agriculture the effort used in non-es
sential work, work that doesn't hell
win the war.
"Oh," you may say, 'this is jus
one little town, just one county, ant
the small amount of food we produce
compared with the production of al
the nation, can't amount to much on,
way or another" But if other town
and counties all over New Jersey say
that it will mean that New Jersey viii
fail in maximum food production;
in other states the same thing is sale
those states will fail; and if even a few
states fail the results may be serious
1t is perilous for any community t.
fail. What will Mount Holly do2

The Birth of a Nation

d. w. Griffith's globe-girdling
triumph, 1.-THE Birth of a Nation,
comes to the Mount Holly theatre Sat
urday afternoon and night, June |.
This will afford an opportunity to peo-
pie of this section to see this master
piece which has everywhere thrilled
capacity audiences with its charming
love story and historic spectacles.
From the first scene to the last the
film maintains the keenest interest,
but it reaches its strongest point in the
second part, when the hordes of the
Ku Klux Khan are gathering for the
rescue of harried whites.
The extraordinary spectacular effects
the breadth of conception and the skill
OF execution with which the spectacle
has been made, differentiates it from
all previous attempts at photodrama.
The scenes range through the civil war
and reconstruction periods, and Wis
ualize with graphic effects the places
and per sonages of the most stirring
period OF American history.
So widespread has been the discus.
sion of 1.-The Birth of Nation that
| it is hardly necessary to outline the
story. Suffice it to say that the spec
tacle deals with big theme in a big
way. No such wonderful Photographic
conception has ever before been made
for the screen. A more complete idea
of the conflict of armies on the field oil
battle could not be given, even were
actual hostilities to be photographed
The onlooker sees a battle as only
those on the very front line of fight
| ing would see conflict.
Then THERE'S wonderful realization
of the south in ante-bellum days wher
slaves worked in the cotton field and
were sold on the block. The grea
Liberator, who gave the helpless thu
boon of freedom, is seen in his very
human aspect as the comforter of thu
oppressed, and the tragedy that snuff
out such life is most impressive In
deed it would be difficult to imagine |
more effective and affecting scene thar
that showing the assassination of Abra
ham Lincoln in Ford's theatre, Wash
ington.

Decoration Day Amusements

| When President Wilson issued his
proclamation for the observance Of
Memorial Day there was an impression
that he desired all kinds Of sports and
amusements abolished and that the
day be given entirely to fasting and
prayer. With tins idea in view the
directors of the Burlington County
Fair Association held special meet.
ing Tuesday evening to discuss the
question of cancelling the programme
for racing that had been prepared for
the day at the fair ground. During
the meeting the following item from
the New York Sun was read:
In some quarters President Wilson's
Memorial Day proclamation was con-
strued as an appeal to return to the
Sunday program OF the old Puritan
days. We were informed from Wash
ingt0n that 1t was not the desire OF the
President to have any change from
the general character OF the day.
The President wants to leave it to each
individuals judgment as to how he
should observe the day, but he does
not demand that we shut our ball
parks, athletic fields and theatres and
go in sackcloth and ashes. There will
be track and field sports and ball
games at every camp, cantonment and
naval training station. Soldiers and
sailors will take possession of every
ball park not used by other teams. It
will be truly Service Day even in
sport.
This put different light on the SUBJ
iect, and it was decided that there was
not any need for cutting out the sports
that had been suggested, SO there will
be four races on Thursday afternoon,
as follows: 210 trot or pace; Els trot or
pace; 2.1S trot or pace; 2 rs trot. Fred
Upton, of Rochester, N. Y, will be the
starter.
There will be other sports, several
base ball games having been scheduled
in various parts OF the county. 1t is
not the intention of the President that
the entire country should be gloomy
and morose. but there does seem to be
propriety in the suggestion that a GER
tain part of the day be devoted to
considering the affairs of the nation,
and not letting amusement take en-
tirely out OF mind the serious situation
that ia confronting u.s.
