At a meeting of the Board of Mama
gers of the Burlington County Hospital
the following was unanimously adopt
ed:
In the death of Mrs. franklin b.
Lewis the Board of Managers of the
Burlington County Hospital has lost
its last surviving charter member.
Mrs. Lewis was one of the original
Board when Burlington county hos
pital was organized thirty-eight years
ago. Through all the intervening
years she has been one of the most ac-
tive and loyal members, conservative
and level headed, her wise counsel was
always sought by the Board, and her
presence will be sadly missed. Fol
over fifteen years she was Treasurer OF
the Board and she carefully looked
after the interests of the Institution
when it was winning its way and
proving its worth to the county.
1t is with sincere sorrow her fellow
managers record her passing from
among us, and express our deep sym
pathy for her bereaved family.

Moorestown

Mrs. f. Robert Stackhouse has re-
ceiyed word from France that her
brother Fred Smith is lying wounded
in a French hospital. He is widely
known in MIoorestown, having spent
his boyhood here. He gave up his
studies at State College, Pa and volun-
teered for service in the American Am
bulance before America entered the
war and when the United States got
into the conflict he was transferred to
the American forces. He has been on
battle front from Verdun to Flanders
and was cited for bravery by the
French government about six months
ago. His many friends here hope his
wounds are not serious.
At congregational meeting held in
the Nj. p. Church on Wednesday night
Rev. Il. J. Patterson was invited to re-
turn another year. If accepted this

Affairs at Court.

Nearly the entire morning session of
court, Thursday, was taken up with
the first account of the executors of the
estate of Theophilus Zurbrugg, of De-
lance. Much of this estate is in trust.
Owing to the depreciation in values of
some of the securities the executors de-
cided that it would be advisable to pay
interest ON the trusts, instead of sacri-
ficing property, and paying the princi-
pal. The account has stood for num-
Der OF years and as it contained a large
lot Of items it took some time to class
ify them and have them SO that the
court could readily understand them.
In the criminal department Florence
Buscagalia pleaded guilty to adultery
with a sergeant at Camp Dix. The
matter was laid over until Thursday of
this week.
Four small boys from Burlington
were brought in on charge of malic-
ious mischief. They had amused
themselves by breaking windows and
electric hight bulbs and had also stolen
some goods which they had sold to
a junk dealer in Burlington. The
court gave them good lecture and
placed them in the hands of the pro-
baton officer. He told them they
must find something to work at in the
hours at their disposal and pay the
costs of the prosecution at the rate of
25 cents per week. In filing out the
papers probation officer Slaughter dis
covered that one of the boys had never
been to church but once and then he
was whipped for that act. Instruc-
tions were given that the Junk dealer
be looked after for buying goods from
minors.
Joseph A. Holmes pleaded guilty to
three charges-assault and battery on
an officer, resisting arrest and shooting
crap. The assault on the officer was
the most serious part of the offence.
In resisting arrest Holmes cut the
officer and broke some of his teeth.
On the charge of assaulting the officer
| the defendant was fined 500 and was
told to pay for the broken teeth. For
shooting crap he was placed in charge
of the probation officer and directed to
pay the costs.

Mount Holly. Red Cross Gets
Another Coll

The Mount Holly Red Cross has
been called to do its part toward the
Linen Shower for France" but only
mite is asked and people should get
right at it and have it over SO all of the
other war work can be carried on just
the same as it is now going. This is
the great personal gift shower that has
been conceived by the American Red
Cross and it calls for genuine outright
giving of articles needed in France and
made up ready for shipment. Notice
of the allotment for the local organi-
cation was received on Friday after
noon and a committee to handle the
special call was appointed at once. 1t
is made up of Mrs. w. c. Wetherill.
chairman, Mrs. Harry 1. Cooper and
Mrs. v. Claude Palmer.
The mammoth shower is to contain
millions of articles, enough to make
up load for ship that will not need
any other ballast, and Mount Holly
has it's bit to furnish. The local
branch is going to give, through the
response to be made by generous
public, the following war necessities
specified in the allotment: 10 bath
towels l9x38; 40 hand towels 1890;
100 mems handkerchiefs; napkins;
40 sheets.
The sheets are to be of heavy bleach
ed or unbleached muslin, made up with
Pinch hem at top and 1-inch hem at
bottom. The size specified as being
specially desired is 64x102, and it is
asked that contributors conform to the
specifications as closely as possible.
Sheets 62x99 or larger up to the larger
size mentioned will be satisfactory, out
smaller than that will not be accepted.
Every article should be rev or as good
as new and must be laundered. Con-
tributions of muslin sufficient to
make sheets will be accepted from
those who are not able to do the max
ing.
At least one member of the COM
mittee will be at the Red Cross rooms
at Main and Murell streets on October
IA, Is and Is to receive the articles, or
may be left at the homes
of the committee members. 1t is pre- !
ferred, however, that they be left at
the headquarters.
Do not forget that all of this allot-
ment is to be made up OF voluntary
as the Red Cross
nothing except an opportun-
ity for war helpers to respond to a call
that arises from necessity.

THE HOME FRONT

The battle front in Europe is not
the only American front There Is a
home front, and our people at home
should be as patriotic as our men in
uniform ia foreign lands.
Every American soldier who has
fallen in France, every American sail
or who has died for his country's
cause has given his life for his peo.
pie Surely we, their people, can
lend our money to our Nation, their
country.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is the
fighting loan. Its great success will
bring comfort and encouragement and
deep sense of pride to our Army
and our Navy. and to our Allies; it
will bring encouragement to our enc
mics. Its success means Amer, IAN
victory. Prussian defeat.

Because of existing restrictions by
the United States Highways Council
and other federal agencies on public
Improvements not essential to the
nations war program, the New Jersey
State Highway Commission on Thurs
day decided to advertise for no more
bids for highway work until the gov
eminent will allow the highway de-
partment to proceed and the smaterial
and labor supply is such that more
reasonable bids for road work can b.
) expected. Not more than 20 of the sc
I miles of the program for highway con-
= struction for this year will be built, a.
it is reasonably certain that the High
WAYS Council will not authorize 1
larger amount of work.
