PAYING BILLS.

There's nothing more pleasant
than paying your bills, than
when they due; it sends thru
your heart most enjoyable thrills,
to know that there's nothing
charged up against you. You're
making the wheels of your vii
lage go round, you're giving the
workers the best workers the
best kind of aid, when you dig
from your wallet the shilling
and pound and pay up your bills
in the palace of trade. You re
filling the soul of the merchant
with glee, you're bidding the
banker to weep never more,
you're hanging new wreatheS on
your family tree, when you pay
up your bills at the store. That
man is a hindrauce and hurt to
his town, brake on the wheels
OF his own neigh borhood,
who views the collector with
whitening frown, who doesn' t
pay up when the paying is good.

IDLENESS.

There is seventy FIVE per cent.
less idleness among the men and
boys of this county today, than
there was two years ago. but if a
record was kept it would show
that more than one hundred
davs per year is wasted in idle
ness even at this busy season.
This is more from habit than an
intention to avoid work. Every
day lost, by the farmer, at this
season of the year is loss from
two to five dollars. This is no
time for hunting excuses to 60 to
town or for making Saturday a
holiday. Fishing ought to be
very unpopular this year. Every
man should work with judgment
and work every day.
Idle acres is a handicap to any
community, at any time, but es-
peciallv it is true at a time when
We are called upon to feed so
great a portion of the world. If
we consider that Germany is
twenty nine thousand and seven
ty one square miles less Than
the state of Texas, and is the
strength of the luton allies, We
must realize that they have no
idle men, land or money. Our
farmers would be Disguised
with any man who will remain
idle one year, and yet, many in
this county have acres of good
producing land that they allow
to remain idle for many years.
Every plat of land in this coun-
ty ought to produce something of
value every year, and must do so
if we develope our full strength.
Our forests are valuable, our
pasture lands a necessity, but
land suitable for corn, wheat
or oats left untitled is an idler,
and if allowed to remain so de-
preciates instead of getting bet
ter and better and becomes a
detriment to the owner AMI to
the nation. The man who lords
his money is not a business man.
He is coward not to invest his
money where it too will work
and earn something. He who
lays up gold questions the sta
billty of his government and
doubts the honesty of his fellow
man. He is miser OF the
cheapest die and a Stacker. The
selfishness he shows places him
in the class that cares for him.
self only, nothing for the coun-
try that gave him birth and pro-
tects him in his every legitim ate
enjoyment.

DO YOU SLEEP WELL?

To be at his best a man must
have sound, refreshing sleep.
When wakeful and restless at
night he is in no condition for
work or business during the day.
Wakefulness is often caused by
indigestion and constipation, and
is quickly relieved by Chamber
laiu's Tablets. Try a dose OF
these tablets and see how much
better you feel with a clear head
and good digestion.

Boxing Gloves Wanted.

Camp Dix needs $500 sets of boxing
gloves to train its soldiers for trench
warfare. No fund is available for buy,
ing these gloves. But it is believed
that there are enough secondhand and
used gloves in those districts from
which Camp Dix draws its enlisted
men to meet this need if the reason for
it be made clear to the people back
home.
Boxing in the army is necessity. 1t
is analogous to bayonet fighting in that
those best able to fight with the gloves
are best equipped for the hand to-hand
fighting to be encountered "over
there" 1t is fact that bayonet fight
ers use the same tactics as boxers.
That is why boxing instructors have
been placed in the training camps.
They instruct the soldiers in the
science of man-to man fighting.
At Camp Dix boxing is a recognized
part of military training. Every
soldier who is to do bayonet fighting
abroad should be made to and is train
ed tosfight with his fists. AS it il
obviously out of the question to hav,
these men fight each other with tn,
bayonet, boxing is the worthy substi
tute. The efficient boxer is the surviv
or of the bayonet fight-and he come
back home after the war.
Gloves are wanted; not money. Th
gloves should be sent to Sol Metzger

name and address OF sender so receip

$50 a Ton for Tomatoes.

A meeting of representatives of to-
mato growers was held in Camden yes
terday. The following preamble and
resolution were adopted:
1.-THE representatives of the tomato
growers from five counties Of South
Jersey, being in session for the pur-
pose of considering the growing and
marketing of canning house tomatoes
during the year of 1918, are of the
opinion that the growers are entitled
to the cost of production plus fair
profit, and that the average cost of
growing tomatoes in the five counties
of South Jersey is about S27 per ton,
and that number of canning firms OF
South Jersey have contracted already
for hundreds of acres at $50 per ton
therefore,
"Be it resolved, that it is the sense
OF the representatives here assembled
that it is inexpedient for the individua
growers to contract at price less thar
$50 per ton."
