To the Voters of Spencer Township:

To the Voters of Spencer Township:
On November the twelfth, the men
of Spencer township will be given the
opportunity to show by vote whether
or not they are in favor OF better
schools for their children and for
their neighbors' children. 1t has
come to a question of money. If you
think that these children are worth
it. it is no longer a question. 1t is a
settled fact that we will have better
schools for you will be willing to fur
nish the money to make them so.
Last year the School Board was
compelled to borrow money in order
to run our schools. With no increase
in resources, they must again borrow
and again. Any business man knows
that no plant can be run long on such
a basis. In order to place our schools
on sound financial basis, and in or
der to keep them in their present
class, the board is asking for an IN
crease of one mill to be added to the
tax duplicate. Should this be grant.
ed, the amount you pay for taxes viii
vet be less than you paid last year
This is due to the fact that there has
been decrease in the township rate
The funds must be forthcoming Of
our schools must go back. Are we
the men of Spencer township, who arr

Alcohol Plant
Discovered in
Bakers Shop

GALLUP, N NJ, Jan IA plan
to manufacture alcohol as a by-prOd-
uct OF bread in bakeshOps was reveal
ed tonight in the seizure of still in
the bakery of George W Keller and
a quantity of liquid distilled from oven
fumes. containing nine per cent al
cohoL
The raid on the property by In
come Tax Inspector Moore of the in
ternal revenue service was made on
orders received from Denver. Keller
was not arrested. Officers are inves-
tigating his assertion that he intended
no evasion of the Law, having erected
the still to work out a theory which
he hoped would be of value to the
government in recovering alcohol from
a hitherto wasted product.
Keller's apparatus was crudely con-
structed. the vapOr from the baking
bread being conducted from the oven
into worm" which was colled 5y q
barrel of water. the alcoholic product
being condensed and wasted upon the
ground.
Possession of the still is a violation
of the federal law.
Prominent citizens are said to be
backing Keller in his invention. RSl
Ter says quantities of alcohol can be
manufactured by army bake shops
and bakeries in large cities for use
for war purposes. at virtually no cost
