Each man separately stands for his own

when our soldier boys got to the other side the
first thing they asked was when do we eat?0

When finally told that they were going toward

That was the spirit of our soldiers. There
wasn't one of them that didn't have purpose IN
his heart. They knew what they came over
for, and so they inquired right away, Where
do we go from here?" They were impatient TO
go to the front, and when they arrived there
they kept right going. They were going

Factors for Progress.

There can be no very material community
progress in Newark, or in any other community
until selfish interests are, to certain extent,
laid aside.
Self must be subordinated at least to the
point where the leading citizens can recognize
the interests and welfare of the community, and
be willing to make an occasional sacrifice of
their own interests for the general good of the
community as whole.
Neighborhood welfare is dependent upon
the manner in which the people of the commun-
ity-the eighbors-regard the rights and priv
ileges of the public, as well as themselves
Unless the majority are willing to render
service for the community, to bear expense for
the general welfare there will be no progress,
and all will be retarded because of the selfish
ness of the few.

At another time Sapp was leading

foot pulled half way out of It. The
party was In hurry, and as Sapp
tugged the boot out of the mud and
