The Liberty loans mark new epoch
in American national affairs, for never
before in our history, not even in the
days of the Civil War, have the people
become participators to the same ex-
tent with their Government in its un.
dertakings by investing their savings
in its bonds. 1t is impossible to exag-
gerate' the importance of this develop
ment or to overestimate the possible
effect in impressing upon the people a
deeper sense of their individual respon-
sibility, a closer attention to the duties
of citizenship. The wide dissemination
of the bonds will undoubtedly tend to
bring home to the citizen as a tangible
fact that which he has but vaguely ac-
cepted in theory, namely, his part as a
stockholder in the nation. And quite
as important result will be the incul
cation of habit of thrift which has
been generally absent from American
life. Literally millions of men anc
women, wage-earners all, are making
sacrifices to-day and will for many
months to come in order to become
acti We partners with their Governmen
in its great undertaking. 1t is true tha
they are lending, not giving, whel
they buy bonds, and they are to re
ceive interest for what they lend. Blu
their service is none the less real, fo
most of them have given, too, of thei
loved ones, who are over there or Of

In the past few weeks the death rate
in Riverside has been the greatest ever
experienced due to influenza and

cases, our physicians have been doing

fortunate. We have been probably
averaging three deaths daily, with a
population of 5000.

Affairs at Court.

Ellis Cramer appeared before Judge
Lippincott, Thursday, to receive SEN
tence on the charge of getting money
under false pretences. Prosecutor Kel-
(, sey said he had made a thorough in
vestigation of this case and he had
reached the conclusion that it was not
matter for the criminal court to deal
with. He therefor had the Indictment
dismissed.
William Lutzl pleaded guilty to a
charge of assault and battery. Lutz
was on his way to Camp Dix with an
auto load of soldiers. The time was
early morning and there was a heavy
fog. When the north Pemberton sta
ton was reached Lutz failed to distin-
guish between the headlight of a loco
motive and other lights and his ma
chine was struck. The soldiers were
hurt but none of them were killed.
Lutz told the court he expected to leave
for camp on Saturday last to serve in
the army. He will be in Florida
camp. Judge Lippincott said that I'M
der the circumstances he would lay the
case over until the December term to
see whether Lutz remained in the
service.
Charles Vernon pleaded guilty to
escaping from the custody of Sheriff |
Engle while at work on the roads. |
This was the second offence. Judge
asked Vernon if he remem- |
bered what the court said the last time
he was brought in. Vernon said he
did not. The Judge said he had a very
distinct recollection of the talk given
then, which was that if the man APP
peared second time he would go to
the state prison. So the sentence was
not less than one year or more than
three years in that institution.
Mrs. Lulu Wigmore, of Riverside,
pleaded guilty of forging the name of
Warren G. Pine to note. The work
was so clumsily done as to excite the
suspicious of the bank officials at once.
The woman did not attempt to conceal
anything. She said her husband was
n debt and she thought she could aid
lim by signing the note and getting
he money that way. There were sew
,ral things which recommended leni-
,ncy in this case and Judge Lippincott
yery properly suspended sentence.

The policemen of Mount Holly had
their attention attracted to a bright
light. yesterday morning, about two
o'cl ock, which indicated a fire. in the
country. AS there was not any alarm
sent in it was decided that the fire was
some distance away. 1t was on farm
near Chairyille, occupied by Theodore
eager. The Medford fire department
went to the place and when 1t arrived
gave the first intimation the owner
had that his buildings were ablaze. He
was able to save all of his livestock
with the exception of one calf. The
outbuIldings were all destroyed, with
a large quantity of hay. A rick of
hay near the barn was also burned. |
The indications were that the fire start
ed in the hay rick. As it was rainy |
night and the hay was damp it is
thought the fire was not accidental.
Mount Holly again has made good. |
The quota of $550,000 for the Fourth

great credit to the community and
fine evidence of patriotism. The Bow

The Girl Scouts raised $4,000. The
