Some Government Regulations

The United States has sent out in
structions to the publishers of papers,
telling what is expected of them. The
paper mills have been put on ''priori-
| ty' list, the same as the coal dealers,
and newspaper publishers must agree
to economic in the use of paper and
must sign pledge to that effect or else
go without paper. BY some means
the publisher must make Is per cent.
reduction in the paper he has been
using. Here are some of the instruc.
tons:
No publisher may continue SUBJ
scriptions after three months after date
of expiration, unless subscriptions are
renewed and paid for. This means
much to those who are receiving THE
NEWS. If they want the paper they
must pay up to date, at least, and then
cannot have the paper after three
months have expired, unless again
paid. Statements to our subscribers
will be sent out in few days and un-
less there is prompt response the SUBJ
scription will be discontinued. AS
stated in last weeks issue we do not
make money on our subscription price
OF one dollar but unless compelled to
increase, we will keep the price as it
now is.
No publisher can give free copies OF
his paper, except to certain organiza-
tions recognized by the government.
No publisher shall give free copies to
advertisers beyond one for checking
purposes.
No publisher shall send exchange
copies except to other publications in
the county or to those within radius
of forty miles.
No publisher shall sell his publica
cation below the published subscrip
ton price.
No premiums are to be offered and
no voting contests may be carried on
No publisher may issue holiday
industrial or other special editions
The date of this order is August %
which rather takes the edge off thu
"desire to be patriotic" etc.
Subscribers to THE NEWS may
easily see just where we are in thi
matter. tits not question whethe
we want to do something, it is al
order that we must obey. There hav
been some mplimentary papers Oh
our list, as on the books of all news
papers. These will have to be discon
tinued and ifiany 'reader who has beef
favored in the past does not get pape
hereafter he will know the reason.

Gifts to Stricken Camp

Mount Holly made a generous re-
Spouse to the appeal from Camp Dix
for jellies. fruits, flowers. etc., for con-
valescent soldiers, of which there are
over 1000 at the camp. Three auto
mobiles and a motor truck were
required, on Saturday, to transport to
the camp the donations that had been
taken by residents to the soldiers club
house. Among the articles sent were
938 cups and jars of iellies and fruits,
II baskets apples. 7 baskets of grapes, 2
crates of oranges, baskets pears, lot
of candy and lemons, etc., and an
enormous quantity of cut flowers
Besides the amount sent from the
soldiers club number of individual
contributions were taken direct to the
camp in automobiles.
Yesterday an additional quantity of
fruit, iellies, etc., was taken to the
camp.
| On Saturday night 20 cots, mattresses,
blankets, pillows and sheets were sent
from the club to assist the Red Cross
and War Community Service at
Wrightstown to care for the many
relatives who have flocked to the camp
from all parts of the country, to visit
sick soldiers.
There was an equally generous re-
Spouse by cities, towns, and villages
within 40 miles or more radius of the
camp for fruit and delicacies. Strings
of motor trucks came from every direc-
ton, carrying cheer to the stricken
camp. Experienced welfare workers
state that it was the promptest and
most generous response they had ever
seen or heard Of to any similar appeal.
All the donations were speedy dis
tributed to points where needed, and
we're gratefully received by the
soldiers. Malicious reports have been
circulated that much of the supplies
donated had been wasted. This is Off
cially denied and is untrue. The only
contributions not all utilized were
flowers, which arrived in such tremen-
dous quantities that it was impossible
to find sufficient receptacles to care for
them.
Another collection of donations will
be made on Saturday. October 5, at
the Ankokas Soldiers Club, Mount
Holly. 1t is requested that flowers be
omitted, but that there be generous
contribution of fresh fruits in par
ticular. iellies, canned fruits, fresh
eggs, etc.

AFTERTHOUGHTS
The fifth ward and Ike Lippincott
ruled the roost
Affidavit blanks for filing expense
accounts of political candidates can
be obtained from Herbert 8. Killie
upon payment of nominal sum.
There were number of did not ex-
pect to-" One was II do not expect
my friend Edward Gray to be selected
but would like to see him run well in
Mount Holly. Eddie" got so votes.
The value of single vote was shown
in the primary election. In one coun-
ty two candidates for an office were
tied. Another vote would have settled
the affair. In one of the districts in
Northampton candidate for member
of the county Republican committee
was chosen. by two votes-one other
than his own, probably.
Without showing any undue exulta-
ton over his splendid victory Govern
or Edge is naturally pleased with the
good majority he received over his
opponents. He stood upon his record
as Governor and the people of the state
have shown their appreciation of his
acts since he was inaugurated into that
office. He put out very little money
to secure his nomination for United
States Senator while Mr.. Record, who
made the most noise and did the most
energetic campaigning put in an ex-
pense account three times as much as
Governor Edge did.
One of the usual customs is for de-
feated candidate to send congratula-
tions to the successful man, with as
surances of ardent support in the cam
paign to follow. This last part is all
right, but to tell the leading candidate
that you are glad he has beaten you
and all that sort of thing is pure non
sense. In the campaign just ended
there was bitter fight in which the
opponents of Governor Edge waged a
merry war against the latter, telling in
speeches and letters what bad record
the Governor had, and doing every
thing to compass the defeat of the
man they were opposing, and then
when he was chosen by the people, the
other candidates rushed with break
neck speed to tender congratulations. .
| What bosh.
The election laws may be under.
stood, but it is certain they have been
entirely ignored by many. The last
Legislature attempted to get things in
such shape that there would be clear
understanding. For instance, the law
requiring the filing Of accounts on the
Friday or Saturday prior to the pri
mary was not complied with by many
candidates. 1t is claimed by some
that the statute may be read many
ways, but it is certain some of the
candidates read it to suit themselves
| Another section provides that there
shall not be any electioneering within
100 feet of a polling place, under {
penalty of fine not exceeding $50. Ye
in one district in this township a man
stood at the door of the polling place
and openly solicited votes for his
choice. 1t would appear to be the
duty of the election boards to see tina
this law is enforced.

Random Remarks

Commissioner Dill, of the Motor
Vehicle Department, in refusing a
driving license to a Passaic man re-
Gently, announced that no licenses will
hereafter be granted to alien enemies,
nor to friendly aliens capable of per-
forming military duty. but who seek
to evade such duty. The Passaic man
has been in this country for sixteen
years, took out his first spapers in 1905,
but never proceeded farther in the
matter. This ban will not extend to
aliens who have been properly classi.
fed in the selective service registra.
ton, nor to men who are exempt be
cause of physical defects or of being
engaged in agricultural pursuits. Com
missioner Dill is right. Aliens who
come here to better their condition
must give something in return, and
the country has little use for a man
who has been here for sixteen years
and refused to become naturalized
citizen.

Red Cross Asks for Clothing


During the period from Septembe
80 to October z drive will be con
Quoted in Burlington county to collec
cast-off clothing for the relief of tel
million people in occupied Belgium
and France who are facing shame, suf
fering, disease and perhaps death fol
lack of sufficient garments to keeI
them properly clothed this winter
This is part of the Red Cross under
takings and it must be another Rec
Cross success.
In this drive Mount Holly will have
its important part and local chairman
DR.. H. E. Longsdort urges upon al
people the necessity for action without
delay. 1t is felt that the Mount Holly
Red Cross branch will prove equal to
the occasion. Burlington county's al
lotment of this cast-off clothing is
5000 pounds and Chairman Longsdort
thinks that Mount Holly should con-
tribute at least 1000 pounds of this
quantity. Prepare now to give all you
have and also all that you can get
through legitimate channels. It is not
suggested that any stealing be done,
but the cause would almost Justify
such measures. There is a demand
for this clothing and no one need feel
that the contributions will exceed the
requirements.
The articles needed for men are:
Shirts, underclothing, trousers, over
alls, suits of clothing, coats, overcoats,
jerseys, sweaters, socks, shoes.
For women: Skirts, blouses, over
coats, pinafores, shoes, stockings, suits,
shirts, petticoats, drawers, corset slips,
cloth hats, knitted caps.
For boys: Shirts, underclothes,
trousers, coats, suits, shoes, overcoats,
jerseys, socks, stockings.
For girls: Dresses, skirts, overcoats,
petticoats, suits, blouses, night dres-
ses, undergarments, shoes, stockings.
For boys and girls wear: Hooded
caps, pinafores, wooden union suits.
For infants: Swan-skin swadling
clothes, cradle chemises, bodices, Grad
lie dresses, sweaters, bonnets, bibs,
neckerchiefs, shoes, baby dresses, dia-
pers, hooded cloaks, jackets, shawls,
socks.
Miscellaneous articles needed are:
Bed ticks, bed sheets, pillow cases,
blankets, muffiers.
The clothing is to be received at the
Red Cross rooms, in the Gaskill build
ing at Main and Murrell streets, on
Monday and Thursday mornings after
nine o'clock.
The Red Cross also calls attention
to the Importance of saving peach
stones, apricot, prune, plum, olive and
cherry pits, date seeds, Brazil nut,
walnut and butternut shells,
and, above all, cocoanut shells, which
are used in making carbon to put in
gas masks. A more complete state
ment of the details of this work will be
given within few days, but in the
meantime it is desirable that the col
lection of these materials should be-
gin.
