was III the uenouemenb Lnat The JOKE
was spoiled. The deadly contrast be-
tween the little lean girl and the big
fat woman, was a fatal thing to spring
on an unsuspecting audience in war
times, when the cost of eatables is so
high; aud the sympathy of all went
out to the poor homely, little boy, who
was made to feel he had nothing for
which to be thankful to the Lord. Mr..
Alberts some day may develop into a
finished comedian. Someone should
suggest that Keith show Alberts one of
the clubs, containing spikes, of which
we see pictures frequently. The
threatened use of this weapon might
have a salutary effect on this offender
against good sense and good taste.
After the exit of Alberts the mem
beers of the large sixth grade class filed
on the stage and sang the beautiful
canoe song, at the conclusion of which
Sherman T. Dowler, president of the
Board of Education, presented to the
school a handsome service flag, con-
tanning ffty-four stars. The flag was
a gift from the educational board, the
stars thereon representing the number
of young men in the service of the gov
eminent, who at one time or another
were pupils in the schools. Professor
Chalmers accepted the flag for the
schools, and spoke fervently of the
valor and chiyalry displayed by u
boys, whose names follow: ~

AT this ju%ncture Robert G. Pierpont,
president of Wildwood War Savings
Society, announced the names of the
successful competitors for prizes in the
thrift stamp contest.
Professor Chalmers announced the
winners in the contests for best essays
on the subject: "Why we have the
Third Liberty Loan;' six of the prizes
classes, and seven prizes to grammar
school pupils, making a total of thir-
teen prizes won by Wildwood contes-
tsnts out of a total of twenty-nine
offered for the whole County of Cape
May. The rate of gain was, therefore,
A "a % per cent, almost one-half of all
the prizes for Cape May county having
been earned by Wildwood. The names
of these winners appear in another
column.
After a selection by the high school
glee club had been rendered, a second
series Of picture films were thrown
upon the screen. These were of the
g%rotesque sort. Eleanor Thompson
and Elfreda Nye, in turn, presided at
the piano during the evenings enter
tainment.
