Lamp Made From War Relic

On Wednesday evening, January
29th, a beautiful electric lamp was pre-
sented to Penns Grove Lodge, No. 1872,
+. A. NJ, by Abram N. Jacobs. Il is

mered brass taken from a French rs

base is a United States 3-inch case
holding a Russian shrapnel, in the
nose of which is an incandescent bulb.
From the sides of the U. S. case, ex-

a thirty-seven milimeter anti-aircraft
projectile, in the nose of which is a

worth will be inestimable in the years

TICKET
 NOW WITHDRAWN

The withdrawal of the independent ticket from the field in the local elec- ton and the endorsement of all can didates of the Democratic party by the American Labor party will give the independents an opportunity to vote solidly on the nominees of the Democrats, headed by A. E. Vincent.
 The independents who are mostly from the ranks of the Republicans who have become disgusted with the wasteful and inefficient Republican machine in power are solidly behind the Democrats. The laboring men of the city, even those who were not directly concerned, recalling the f1as- co Mayor Wilson made of the Graph ophone strike, when he made false promises to the workers in order to secure a vote to return to work, are very bitter in their attitude towards the G. o. P. candidate.
 Present indications are that the high tax rate, coupled with the grand list increases, will ring the death knell of the local machine, the atti- tude of the public being unnistakably for economy when living costs are high.
