EASTER.

Life has loneliness to sell.
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff.
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up,
Holding wonder like a cup
Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of vine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you. arms that hold.
And for your spirits still delight.
Holy thoughts that star the night.
Spend all you have for loneliness.
Buy 1t and never count the cost,
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been. or could be.

Verse.

There are several versions of the
connection of the hare with Easter,
but the hare custom is exclusively pa
gan in origin and has nothing to do
with the Christian festival. In the East,
the hare played a part In the mythical
life and adventures of Buddha. In
fact, several hare myths come out of
India, the great reservoir of religious
symbolism.

The Sally Marshall Crossing
on the Way to Cape May

At the meeting of the Cape May
County Chamber of Commerce held at
Stone Harbor, February 21st, 1918, the
question of asking the State to aban-
don the proposed ex enditure of
$500, 600 on hard-surfaeiug the Eldora-
Court House road and TO use this
money instead on the All-Resort Bou-
levard~ was under consideration.
Director Henry S. Rutherford, of the
Board of Chosen Freeholders, In dis
cussing the matter, dwelt at some
length, upon the proposed improve
ment on the Cape May end of the road
as evidence of the benefit the county
was receiving from the present State
Road Tax law.
When l took the liberty of stating
that this section of the hard-surfaced
road would cost 5000 900 for the short
distance of three miles, Director
Rutherford very EN- phatically ques-
toned my assertion.
$4,000, 000," he exclaimed. "Why,
how do you make that out ?n
"Over $3.50, 900 for the road and about
$4S, 600 for the four bridges" L an
swered.
-Four bridges?" demanded the di-
rector. "Why, what are you talking
about?" "There are no bridges on
that road p
"My information comes from the
State officials at Trenton" I answered,
land you may depend upon it that it's
a~uthentic.n
Thus the incident was dropped. for
the time being.
In order to get the facts correctly be
fore the hundred or more citizens of
Cape May county, who attended that
meeting to hear the discussion Of the
$500, 600 hard-surface resolution, |
wrote to the State Highway Depart
ment and received the following letter
in reply:
Trenton, N. j., March 5, 1918.
Mr.. r. P. Risley,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Sir:-In reply to your inquiry
OF February 2let, 1 have made inquir-
les of the Division Engineer OF the
Southern Division, and have received
information as follows:
The section of Route IA, intend
ed to be constructed during the
present year, is from Cape May
City line to a point north of Ben
nett, at or near the Sally Marshall
crossing. The length of this con-
struction is approximately three
miles. The Approximate estimate
Of cost is 5000, 900, which includes
the construction of four bridges.
The road construction, 1t is esti-
mated, will cost approximately
$45,0 900 per mile.
There have been no detailed plans
for the construction OF the road or
bridges completed as yet.
I would refer you to Mr.. Roy Null
Inns, Division Engineer, Southern Di-
vision, SOB Market street, Camden,

Very truly yours,

Government Plan For
Distribution of Coal
After April LIST, Consumers May Lay in One-Third of Their
: Supply at a Time For Next Winter-Those Who Use
Six Tons or Less Are Exempted
Will be Treated Alike, Says Fuel Administrator Buzby.
Method of Reduction in Price of Former Years is
Abandoned This Year

Fuel Administrator Walter J. Buzby,
who has supervision of the distribu-
ton of coal in Atlantic and Cape May
counties, announced on March 10Th,
the comprehensive plan of the United
States Government regulating retail
distribution for 1918 and 1919. One of
the important features of the Govern
ment regulations is that the family
which consumes only six tons or less
can purchase their entire supply on
and after April l. But il n uses
more than six tons, only one-third of
the total supply can be purchased at a
time.
For instance, if it takes nine tons of
coal to carry one over the winter, n
three tons can be purchased on April l.
That will be one-third Of the supply.
After every other who wants
to lay in their coal during the spring
or summer has received their one-third,
then the dealer is permitted to begin
the distribul ion of the second third.
Then, when everybody has been sup
piled with the second third, the dealers,
if they have the coal, will begin the
delivery of the last third.
Mr.. Buzby said that by this means
everyone will be treated alike and the
buyer of the large quantities of coal
will not get their supply to the exclu.
sion of the man who buys in smaller
quantities. Mr.. Buzby also said that
the National Coal Merchants associa-
ton has assured the National Fuel
Administration of the cooperation of
its members in carrying out the pan.
1.-THE plan, while laying down the
general principles which must cover
the retail distribution of coal, is suf-
ficiently flexible to allow local fuel adj
illustrators to readily accommodate
the regulations to their local conditions.

Reduction Made


ut is important to note that in order
to encourage early buying a reduction
will be made in the cost of anthracite
beginning April 1, 1918. In place of
the method of reduction adopted in
former years consisting of fifty cents
a ton during April, forty cents during
May, thirty cents during June, twenty
cents during July and ten cents during
August, an average red uction of thirty
CENTS a ton will be made which will
hold good on all coal purchased from
April l to September l. 1t is felt that
this reduction will be fairer to the pub
lie ina much as coal is expected to be
orde red in April in such quantities
that it will prove impossible to make
all deliveries during that month or for
some time thereafter. Under a sliding
scale of reductions it would be difficult,
if not impossible, TO treat all consumers
equally, while with an average reduc-
ton extending over the entire period,
all consumers are treated alike.
"New consumers, who are unable to
have their orders accepted by a dealer,
should apply to the local fuel admin
lstrator, who should see that their re-
quirements receive attention from the
proper dealer. Carload or bargeload
lots shall not be delivered to a single
domestic onsume or to a group of
consumers except with the permission
of the local fuel administrator. Dealers
shall file statement containing the
names and addresses of consumers to
whom deliveries have been made dur
ing the previous month and the guam
tity delivered to each.
1.-THE following regulations have
been established by the United States
Fuel Administrators and the S ate Ad-
ministrator:
"(a) Until further notice nc domestic
consumer of coal or coke shall pur-
chase, receive or otherwise take posses
sion of more coal or coke than is re-
quired for his actual and necessary re-
quirements prior to. March 81, 1919.

that do not belong to the out-of-doors
are found in prodigal lavishment at
the florists and these have been car
ried to the churches for the feast of
the lilies that is styled Easter day.
Somewhere all these lilies had their
original habitat. And now they are
widely cultivated.
There is the lily of the annuncia-
ton in it's spotless white and heart
of gold. There is the Easter lily,
that curves back its petals so that the
golden center may CLEAN like the
light from the heart of the star.
There are the lilies-of-the-valley that
exhale their precious perfume In a
wealth of odor that exhilarates and
intoxicates. There is the lilium
auratum, the gold-banded lily that
appears to be the crown of grace for
the beneficiaries of the resurrection.
There, too, is the red-spotted lily that
seems to emblemize the crucifixion.
Is it not this lily of which it is said
that it grew at the foot of the cross
and received some drops of the blood
that bllNhACu luClCllOlu 1Atn liiClC
is the tiger lily, with it's splotches of
vivid color, that seems to set forth
the passions of humankind that the
resurrection rebukes. In the gardens
of the Southland are already bloom
ing the brown-spotted garden lilies,
and they seem to tell of the common
life and its trials and Affections and
humble circumstance. They, too, are
lilies fit for the open tomb of Easter
day.
But the lily that stands cold, exotic
and p~assionless, the Gala lily, is not
to be lost sight of. For refinement
and culture and the type of life that
is preserved from much of the out
ward harshness of existence needs to
be symbolized today and the Gala
lily is its symbol. But faith is like
