Saving Paper.

Chancellor Walker, head OF the
higher courts Of the State, has request
ed members of the bar to aid in the
conservation of paper campaign by
printing in the ''printed cases. only
what is required by the rules of the
courts, and to omit covers and I'M
necessary material. There will no doubt
be general acquiescence on the part of
the lawyers, which will not only result
in saving of paper, but will be BEN
eft to clisnts, who are obliged to pay
for the printing.
The Chancellor might go still farther
and start movement looking to the
abolition of the ancient practice of
copying into huge volumes the litigated
cases in Chaneery. There may have
been reason for preserving these rec
ords at one time, though there is sus-
picion that the work was done mainly
to enable Che clerk to charge fees and
to provide clean and fairly remunera.
tive employment for copyists who in
recent years have been women.
If necessary, these women, many of
whom have been long in the States
service, can be either pensioned or
transferred to other departments. Be-
fore many years the State will be puz-
zled to know what to do with the great
collection of ponderous volumes which
occupy SO much space. 1t may be re-
marked that if there is any necessity
for copying the Chancery cases, there
would be the same necessity for copy
ing those in the Supreme and Errors
and Appeals Courts.
There isaltogether too much print
ing, typewriting and copying done by
the United States, State, county and
city offices. This has been particularly
noticeable since the country became
engaged in the war. Various agencies
are duplicating work, and newspaper
offices, libraries and private citizens
frequently receive half a dozen or more
copies of the same printed material
that have been sent out by different
agencies, at a considerable cost for
postage and resultant clogging of the
mails.
The Government itself can effect q
great saving and set good example
by'instituting economies in printing,
typewriting and filing. Congress has
been investigating the printing ques-
ton for years, and about the only re-
suit has been report that covered
many thousands of printed pages and
merely added to the evil that the in
quiry was designed to relieve Trenton
Times.

The Influenza Endemic

1t is believed that the influenza cpl
demic in this neighborhood has gon,
over the top and is now on the wane
There are still hundreds of cases, bu
there appears to be cessation in the
number Of new ones reported.
/ Assessor Mason got reports, last
week, from all local physicians as to
the number of cases each was treating,
and the total was about 11OO This in.
cluded not only Mount Holly but the
country district and small villages adj
jacent to this town. Many of the cases
are not influenza but severe colds. A
large number of persons have consult
ed physicians recently who in ordinary
times would not have done SO. The
fear created by the epidemic has made
; everybody extremely cautious, with
the result that as soon as a slight cold
appeared, a physician was consulted.
This no doubt was wise procedure,
but it has added greatly to the num-
Der of cases reported.
Since Monday of last week two
deaths from influenza and five from
pneumonia have been reported to As
SCISSOR Mason. THIS does not include
all cases, as some have not yet been re-
ported. The total is thought to be
twelve in Mount Holly during the
period above mentioned.
The Board of Health, in accordance
with instructions received from the
State Board, issued orders last week,
becoming effective at midnight on
Wednesday, closing billiard rooms,
dance halls, lodge rooms, barrooms and
soda fountains, and prohibiting public
funerals of persons who have died from
influenza or pneumonia. The moving
picture theatre and churches and Sun
day schools previously had been order
ed closed, and the Board of Education
had closed the public schools. All
these orders are to remain in effect
until further notice.
The state health authorities also
recommend the public to avoid I'M
necessary travel in public conveyances;
to refrain from social activities that
will bring numbers of people together;
to prohibit the use of common towels
and drinking cups; to require all eat
ing utensils to be sterilized before
being used again; and to require that
all cases of pneumonia and influenza
be isolated in bed and that discharges
from the throat and nose be disinfected.

SERVICE FLAG AT sMITHvILLE.


On Saturday afternoon the residents
of Smithville were all out to witness
the unfurling of a service flag in honor
of the men who had gone from that
neighborhood to serve their country.
While it was well known that num-
Der had left the place it was sur
prise to many to see, when the flag
was unfurled, that % of the town boys
had been called to war.
It was proposed to- hold the exer-
-cises in the open air but at the hour
set rain began and it was necessary
to adjourn to the schoolhouse. After
singing of patriotic songs the flag was
unfurled. 1t hangs across the road
near the railroad station. At the con-
clusion of the ceremonies ice cream
and cake were served.
The speaker was James Mercer Da-
Wis, of Mount Holly. He said he was
glad to speak to the people of Smith
vile and vicinity about this glorious
country. Five hundred and sixteen
years ago Columbus discovered new
world. His journey was like the jour
ney of Abraham, who was "led by
faith" And faith in the better things
has led us ever since. For long ages
men had dreamed of and hoped for a
land Of liberty, but were afraid to put
such dream into practice. Our fore
fathers had the faith to write it into
a constitution as the very foundation
of our government. And so liberty
became and is the basis of our civiliza-
ton. The wisdom of our fathers has
been fully justified. We lead the
world in inventions, science, wealth
and progress, and today we are the
heirs of all the ages before US. AL
that has been thought worth preserv
ing has been handed to US as heirs o.
those who have gone before-amont
which are freedom and justice.
Mr.. Davis said we would be un
worthy if we do not pass on to other
the heritage we have received. Gu
national history has been a record O
freedom and justice. We have neve
had war in which those element
did not control US. Liberty has be
come and is our national geniu:
: We entered this war to save civiliza
ton that liberty and justice Nigh
live. We could not remain neutrs
while liberty was being done to deatl
This war will not end until justice
: established in the world. We ar
lighting for this end. Your sons an
h daughters, twenty-three of them, ar
: in the fight for freedom. They mus
e obey the commands of the militar,
d We who are back Of the line must ODE
: the orders of our leaders in supplyin
:, the needs of the soldiers. We mu.
e not fail. The order now is "buy libe,
) ty bonds" Both our soldiers and "
: are fighting for a common cause, an
e both of US are in this war. This n.
y ton, with a genius for libe
n ty, has set her hands to the pillow al
% with the help of Almighty God, 81
is will not turn back until the furrow
'e made and freedom and justice shs
in have brought a glorious peace to Il
learth.
