Just a week ago, dear Howard,
God took you home to rest;
He had a better home for you,
He took you for the best.
Though sad and lonely are our hearts,
No tongue can ever tell,
To part with you, dear Howard,
The one we loved so well.
Sleep or, our dear boy, and sweetly
rest,
You cannot come on earth with us,
But we can come to thee.
Sadly missed by Mother, Brothers
and Sister.

PENNSYLVANIA EDITORS WOULD
WIPE BERLIN OFF u. S. MAP.

The Pennsylvania City Editors AS
ISOLATION wants to see the name Der
lin," as applied to a town or city,
wiped off the map of the United States.
To effect this it is sending the follow
ing letter to the mayor of every place
carrying the name:
There is only one P%ershing, and
we wish we had more; there are a
great many Berlins, and each is one
too many. 1t is respectfully suggested
that your community begin the new
year with a new Misunderstanding.
"Will you do it?"
H. r. Kroh, president of the Penn
~sylyania organization, said the idea
came when he read that a village in
central Illinois had taken the name of
Pershing.
THAT there should be some twenty
five or more 'Berlins' and only one
'Pershing' seemed something that call
ed for a quick and ready remedy,
hence the suggestion"

"KEEPlNe OUR FIGHTERS FIT"
BY DR.. Frank Crane.
Copyright, 1918. by Frank Crane.l

Copyright, 1918, by Frank Crane.)
This book is a clear and most fas-
cinating explanation of what is per-
haps Americas finest gesture in the
war.
Never before in history has a ma
ton made such an effort to improve
the mental and moral, as well as the
physical, condition of its soldiers.
America has realized that the mem
bers of its army and navy, in order to
conquer their enemies, must conquer
themselves.
1t has transformed the army from
dumb driven cattle" to an ~organiza-
ton that shall do the work of the
school, the college. the club and the
church.
In other words, our soldier boys are
not only to suffer and fight for us,
they are to improve themselves.
Those who come back from this war
are going to be better and stronger
men and more intelligent citizens.
This time" said Secretary Baker,
they will not be volunteers; they will
be drafted into service. We cannot
afford to draft them into a demoraliz-
ing environment. 1t must be assured
that their surroundings in the camps
are not allowed to be less stimulating
and worthy than their environment in
the home community"
To this end the commissions under
Mr.. Fosdick's charge aim to combat
idleness, inconsistencies. WEAKNESS,
monotony, and vice, for these enemies
are more terrible than the Germans.
This is not sentiment, it is just
plain efficiency.
Everybody with a boy in the army
will want to get this book.
By special arrangement with the
War Department, Commission on
Training Camp Activities, we are in a
position to supply this official story
of the training camps and a years
subscription to The P~leasantville
Press for the small sum of S1.75 to
persons living within Atlantic County,
or 50 outside of Atlantic County. This
offer is made to assist the Government
in getting the complicated story of
this work before the people, and ap-
plies to renewal subscriptions as well
as to new ones. If you want to I'M
derstand what is being done for the
men in our Army and Navy, you must
secure this book. This story will
bring comfort and pleasure to every
one who has a relative or friend in
the service. Send your order with re-
mittance to

custodian of School No. 2, from his
son, Private Albert Wilson, Co. A,

that he is we'll and happy. He says:
81 am at the front, and it is a bird.
too. have been gassed twice, but it
has not bothered me much yet. 1t was
on July 16 and 81, 1918. We had a
drive with the French and won the
battle, but we lost a lot of men. We
are in the French army o and |
have one Service Stripe and will have
another soon. My company is a Ma
chine Gun Company and l like it very
much" Young Wilson is IS years
old and went to France last December.

be done. owing to the influenza cpl
demic and quarantine, and the fact
that our citizens are not people of
great means but generally are of mod
crate circumstances, the manner in
which this call and all former ones
have been answered is marvellous and
reflects credit upon all who have in
any way contributed to the successes
achieved. To mention all who have
participated would be impossible, but
suffice it to say that Chairman John F.
Ryon has been indefatigable in his
efforts and has been backed up by a
corps of loyal men. Mrs. Robert M.
Willis, chairman of the Women's Com
mittee, has been equally as enthusiast
tic, and has had a noble band of wo-
men to assist her. The Boy Secs IS,
too, have been very energetic, and
have done splendid work. One sale of
SIS, 900 was made Wednesday last by
the Scouts. The public schools, the
churches, the fraternal organizations,
the two local banks, have all done their
full duty, and there is glory enough
for all to have a share. We congrat-
ulate every one of the 1892 subscribers
who have made the result possible, and
Pleasantville's loyalty is but a back
ing UP by our people of President Will
sons second answer to Germany that
no arrangement as to an evacuation or
an armistice can be acceptable to us
unless it shall provide absolutely sat
is%factory safeguards and guarantees as
to the maintenance of the present mil
itary supremacy of the American and
Allied armies. The campaign closes
today Saturday and the Country's
answer will be the same as Pleasant
ville's. Again The Pleasantville Press
commends the loyal men, women and
children of our fair city for the splen-
did patriotism and loyalty exhibited in
every call our dear country has made.

A CALL TO PRAYER.

AT a regular meeting of the Pastors
Union of P%leasantville, the ACCESSIBILITY
of worshipping in the homes was con-
sidered. All Christian people of this
city are urged to gather in their own
homes next Lords Day at 1870 o'clock
and observe a season of worship. The
following order is suggested
Singing: MY Faith Looks Up to
Thee"
Scripture Reading: Psalm 81.
Prayer.
Singing: Il Need Thee Every Hour
Scripture: Second Peter, Chap. 8.
Prayer.
Singing: HE Leadeth Me-; follow
ed by Lords Prayer.
1t is suggested that the prayers in
volve a confession of sins, both indi-
Vidual and National, and a humble de-
sire for forgiveness. A plea should
be made for the President of U. S.
and his associates, and for every sol
der boy that has gone forth to do his
best. Prayer should be made that a
victory shall be wrought, that shall
bring justice and righteousness to all
the world

SCHOOL TEACHERS SERVE
IN INDUSTRIAL SHORTAGES

The closing of the public schools

not been without a bright side. In
several instances, where business peo-

out. Among those noticed have been:
Miss Meehan at the p~ostoffice, Miss
Davis at the Pleasantville Trust Co.,
Miss Morton at Pawley's Pharmacy,
Miss Brill at Amatol. and several 9th
ers have given wonderful assistance in

"FLU" ON THE WANE.

A dispatch from Trenton states that
''if the influenza epidemic continues
to abate throughout New Jersey at the
rate indicated by reports received by
the State Department of Health, the
quarantine in force will be lifted Oc-
tober "a. If the disease has not de-
creased in a particular community,
health authorities may continue the
quarantine until they feel that dan
ger is past"
The epidemic in Pleasantville is
Iabating, and the e cases are of a
much milder character. The local
Board of Health publishes elsewhere
lin this issue of The P%leasantville Press
certain instructions calculated to de-
,crease its spreading, which every cit
lien should read and heed.
1t is sincerely hoped that the condi-
lions will be so improved as to justify
the lifting of the ban on Thursday
next.
