dren are walking about the streets trying to pick up livings from dust heaps. Reduction and limitation of appropriation will add greatly to this number and sadly increase the aw- ful wastage of life.

Absecon's place in the roll of honor
Is definitely assured. This community
has lined up 1000 in patriotism, pow
er and enthusiasm. The largest am
cunt of praise is to be accorded the
loyal women of the city. At the close
of the second week of the Liberty Loan
campaign the Women's Committee had
secured the amount of $34, 900. This
amount represents 287 subscriptions
in the district. Mrs. Lewis Clark has
been the leading spirit among the wo-
men, and has introduced novel plans
which having been carried out brought
great success. An interesting feature
of the campaign was the awarding OF
commissions to the women: S~ergeants
for 5 sales made, L~ieutenants for 10,
and Captains for 20. These women re-
ceived acknowledgements: Mrs. r.
A. Elwood, Mrs. j. P. Cheyney, Miss
Lena Lee, Miss Carrie Reed, Mrs. Wal
ter Bates, Mrs. Geo. Conover, Misses
Flora Robinson, Ruth Adams, Ruth
Comedian, Mrs. Frank Conover, Miss
Ethel Hammell; L~ieutenants: Mrs. e.
j. McCarty, Mrs. H. B. McCauley, Mrs.
T. D. Shovel, Miss LOrene Boice, Mrs.
Samuel Johnson; Captains: Miss Han
nah Madden, Mrs. Leon Conover, Mrs.
Robert Mclaughlin. In the Highlands,
where nearly all of the residents are
of other Municipalities, 81, 100 worth of
bonds was sold, and Mrs. Chas. Burns
is the chairman of that section and
worked very hard. Credit is also due
Miss Carrie Reed, in charge of the
public school; Mrs. Leon Conover, of
Conovertown, and Mrs. Baker Bowen,
for Smithville and Leeds Point. To
indicate the energy of the women, at
the close of the first three days of the
campaign, $1,000 worth of bonds was
sold. The town awards the banner to
it's loyal women for their pep and
hustling qualities. Absecon was the
first in the county to go over the top,
and the first to receive and exhibit its
honor. flag.
The Methodist church will be closed
again next Sunday, according to the
wishes of the Board of Health. The
church extends her sympathy to all
who are ill, and to all who have been,
and prays the recovery of all in the
community.
