TOBACCO MONEY.
FROM BENEFITS
Several Affairs Being Planned
With Proceeds to Go to
Tobacco Fund.

No contributions for the Our Boys
In France Tobacco Fund have been
received as yet this week by the
EVENING NEWS although 1t was
expected that the good work COM
menced last week, when almost $45
was donated. would continue.
Several affairs. the proceeds of
which are to be given to the tobacco
fund, are now being arranged, and 1t
Amboy has raised for this worthy
cause will be given d considerable
boost when these benefits have been
held.
The Our Boys in France Tobacco
Fund has already been assisted to a
large extent by contributions result
ing from benefit affairs and it is
hoped that such donations continue.
But this should not mean that in
dividual donations should be discon-
tinued. Every little bit helps and a
for some American boy who Is now
fighting his hardest In France.
The residents Of this city are being
given a little respite at the present
time. There is at the present no
campaign under way which will need
money and the tobacco fund offers an
opportunity for the people of the
Pacemaking City to assist in a way
other than buying Liberty Bonds,
War Savings Stamps and giving to
the Red Cross, Y. NJ. c. A, etc.
Perth Amboy has not contributed
as much as she should to this cause
but 1t is expected that upon realizing
the wonderful good which these
smokes are doing for the American
boys the residents here Will come
across" generously.

Kendall Urges Teachers
To UpbuIId Morale Of n. ]

TRENTON. Aug. 15-Commission-
err of Education Calvin N. kendall
urges superintendents, high school
principals and teachers of the social
studies, including history, and to
teachers Of history in the seventh and
eighth grades to assist In winning the
war by helping to improve the meth
DDS of upbuilding and upholding the
morals of the people of the state.
1t is to the teachers of the social
studies, including history in the high
school and in the seventh n eighth
| grades that there is presented a spe-
cial opportunity, and upon them rests
such q state of mind, through a
knowledge of facts regarding the
world war. says DR.. Kendall. that the
civic conduct of the present school
generation will result in u~pholding
and realizing national and interna-
tional ideals.
In a letter to these educators to-
day DR.. Kendall says that q French
captain in q recent address startled
his hearers with a statement to the
! effect that the war will be- won on
| American soil. He wal asked IL he
meant by invasion. He replied in the
negative. saying that he meant the
direction and drive of the last stage
of the struggle will come from the
civilians OF America. Their morale
will provide the prime factor in win
ming the war, he asserted.
To uphold the morale of the peo-
pie. says DR.. Kendall, there must
| first be knowledge OF the essential
facts regarding the a Morale must
be built upon information properly
interpreted, he continued; for In the
long run loyalty to country, as we'll as
f, loyalty to history, is best served by
looking the facts squarely in the face,
The commissioner then recommended
q number of valuable war books to
assist the educators in doing this
| patriotic work.

RITZ RECEIVES ENDORSEMENT
OF TIE PROHIBITION PARTY
Republican, Candidate for the Assem-
bly,, Looks Like Strong Man 4
Coming Race.
By Special Correspondents.

bB cpcct0B correspondent.
TCTTENvILLE. Aug. 15:-Stuar
L. Ritz. candidate for assemblyman In
the Republican primary from the sec
ond district, has received the indorse-
ment Of the Prohibition party.
Mr.. Ritz Is one of the few candt-
dates on the Island to be so honored.
1t is certain that he will receive
the nomination in the primary as he
is unopposed, and in view of his strong
run last year. there Isl every reason to
believe that he may prove to be the
election.
Dir. Ritz will be opposed N-ain this
election by Henry A. SeesseIoerg, the
Democratic candidate who proved
victorious last year and is the present
incumbent. There seems to be a gen.
eral feeling among those who are In
position to know, that Governor Whit
mar will again be the successful
candidate for governor of the state,
being elected on the stand he has
taken for prohibition.
According to these people no mat
ter what other issues may be put forth
by the candidates during he coming
election, the main issue of h ION.
test will be that of the people against
| the liquor interests, and as Governo'
Whitman has taken the stand with the
1 RCOpi6 dkdllct tAiCcG AhtSANoS6f Ace
| hopes Of his election are held out by
them. In fact, some are of the opin-
ion that there is no doubt but what
he will be reelected.
Therefore, II would seem from the
, facts put forth by those who profess
to know something of the way the
land lies, that Stuart L. Ritz who has
been Endorsed by the Prohibition
party, and who has q great many
tried and true friends on the Island
not only in the Republican party. but
also in the Democratic party, many OF
them working for him openly DURING
the last election, will be the successful
candidate.
There is no doubt but the big run
made by Ritz during the campaign
last fall, when he was defeated by
Seesselberg, had q lot to do will
making him the choice Of the party
| again this election. In the fifth ware
where he resides. Ritz polled 913 votes
while seesselberg polled but 6s5. Riti
carried four of the six districts In the
ward, but lost out in the other two
wards.

Prays That Boys May
Fall Face to the Front"
BY CLARENCE OUsLEY
assistant Secretary of Agricultur,


On a recent visit to Texas I stopped
at Marshall on my way to College
Station to rest on Sunday, July 81,
with q friend who is the pastor of the
First Baptist church there. / was
not altogether surprised when he In
sisted hat l should say something
to his congregation at the morning
service, but l was surprised to have
an urgent call from a camp meeting
eighteen miles away, to speak there
in the afternoon. and / was very re-
luctant to go. because ! was tired, but
I could not refuse n call from a group
Of farmers in my own state. I asked
the messenger who brought the in
vitation whether 1t would be proper
for me to say anything regarding the
agricultural problem, n he assured
me that the people regarded the ag-
ricultural program as a part of the
wal program, and that l would be at
full liberty to speak about it as
might see fit.
1 reached the meeting just as the
congregation had arisen for prayer.
The minister prayed with great fer
vor in the usual way of evangelical
petition and the congregation re-
sponded with fervent amens coming
from every quarter of the tabernacle.
There had been several conversions
at the morning service and the air
was electric with spiritual rapture.
After the usual plea for the continu-
ing presence of the Holy Spirit, the
minister prayed for our army and the
conversation continued with earnest
amens. He asked for victory to our
arms and for u righteous cause
and he asked hat our boys might re-
turn whole in body and mind and
soul. The amens came in q great
volume of heart-swelling emotion as
the m~others~and fathers thought OF
their sons. Then the minister drop
ped his voice and said with humility
but with adamane resolution: But,
oh Lord, IL they must fall. let them
fall with their faces to n front.
There was a moment of Hence In
the congregation, and hen there
came in q deep chorus, with q SOD
Amen"
When mothers and fathers In re-
mote districts, away from the sound
of the fife and drum n the sight
OF warships, airplanes n marching
uarades can say amen to the courag-
eous death Of their sons. we need
have no fear that the plain people OF
the limited States will fail in the reso-
luton to sustain our aus to the ut
most,
