A SUMMER COLD

A cold in the summer time, as every
cold to get rid Of. The best and quick
est way is to go to bed and stay there
If you can, with bottle Of "Boschee's
Syrup" handy to insure a good nights
rest, free from coughing with easy eI-
pectoration in the morning.
But If you can't stay in bed you must
keep out Of draughts. avoid sudden
changes. eat sparingly Of simple food
and take occasional doses of Boschee's
Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold. a safe and EN-
Client remedy, made in America for more
than fifty years. Keep 1t handy.-Adv.

Juan Bermudez. sailing from Spain
to Cuba in 1915 with n cargo of hogs,
discovered the islands when storm
blew him to their shores. Apparently
he left some of the hogs there. for
later visitors found the animals on the
island. From him the islands were
named. and thus originated the hog
money coins stamped with hog on
one side and ship on the other, which
still are preserved in various collec-
tiOns.
"The islands were settled through
the efforts of Sir George Somers, who
became impressed with their fertility
and beauty during a sojourn enforced
by the wrecking Of the ship which was
carrying him to Virginia"

Funds for the campaign will be sought

beginning December /. The total of
the several state budgets will be more

During the discussions attention
was called to the revelations Of the
wartime medical examination boards,
made up largely of members of the as
sociation. Official figures were cited,
showing that of the men called to the
colors. nearly 100000 were tubercu-

During the month Of September
there will be drive by the American
Legion to enroll million members OF
the A. E. f., and the local post, Mount
Holly No. IL, one Of the first to or
ganize in New Jersey, is making eff
forts to secure every man in Mount

There will be meeting of the Post
at the Soldiers clubhouse in Mount
Holly on Monday evening September

for the future of the organization will
be discussed. Delegates to the county
convention, which will be held in
Mount Holly on September goth, and
the state convention which meets at
Newark on October 18th, also will be
elected at this time.
The Legion has adopted as slogan

The Mount Holly Fair

The fair opened this morning and all
that is needed to make it the greatest
success in its life is good weather. kThe
amusements are of the very best and
there will be some decided novelties
offered. All day yesterday exhibits
came in to such an extent that the SUI
perintendents of the different divisions
were hard pressed to make room for
those who wanted to give exhibitions
of their efforts in all lines. The horse
departments are crowded beyond their
capacity and there are more animals
on the ground than can be accommo-
dated.
Every form of amusement will be
presented. The race track will show
some remarkable tests of speed and
there will be running races-some-
thing that has not been seen here for q
long time.
Base ball is to be given chance,
and on Friday there will be game
between New Egypt, the champion Of
the War Community League, and
Mount Holly, which like the boy al
school, stood at the head of his class,
but explained that there was only him
self in the class. Even at that Mount
Holly may show surprise.
The fair ground will be open every
night, with free admission this
evening. The grand stand will be free
every evening. There will be dancing
and the midway will be in full sway

Bonds Sold.

The issue of bonds to the amount of
ST, 1000 was given consideration by the
Board of Freeholders on Wednesday,
and the Burlington County Safe De-
post Company, of Moorestown, got
the lot at premium of about $175 1t
is said it will cost the county $500 to
have the bonds engraved, get legal
opinions and all that sort of thing, so
that when the net amount is added it
will look as if the county will be about
$500 in the hole. An attempt has
been made to make it appear that the
county would be better off if it had fol-
lowed the former transaction and let
the bonds go at par without competi
tive bidding but it is doubtful if such
is the case. According to the figures
of those who are attempting to show
this state of affairs it will be seen that
the county will be at the expense of
$500 to get all the legal machinery IN
action, so that if the bonds had been
sold at par the county would have
been out $500, while the bonus receiv-
ed will cut this down nearly one-half.
Comparison has also been made with
the recent issue of 100000 and the
statement is made that if the same
premium had been received on that is
sue as on the 1900 lot the county
would have made premium of 1850,
and then the statement follows that
after all the legal requirements had
been met this bonus would probably
have been reduced to $1,000. The ar
gument to offset this is that there
would have been months delay in
repairing the roads and that in all
probability more than $4,000 worth of
damage would have been done to the
roads the money was to pay for. This
Is rank nonsense. Those roads had
been allowed to go for some time and
one month more would have made
| very little difference.
| And besides it is very doubtful if the
man who had secured the contract to
rebuild the roads would have stood on
the little matter of month with the
certainty that the money would be
forthcoming in that time Burlington
county's credit has not yet reached the
low ebb The plain fact remains that
the county is out several thousand dol
lars by not advertising for bids. The
parties who are so strenuous in max
ing explanations say if the county had
received $4,000 premium it would have
been compelled to pay at least half Of
that for engraving, legal opinions, etc
So the only thing that was saved by
not advertising was the cost of that
item as the engraving and legal opin
ions had to be paid for and instead O
, getting net $1,000 as it is said nigh
have been secured the county has haC
to pay nearly that sum with nothin,
J coming in.
! To sum up let US take the premium
| on $500, 900 bonds at 81, $50 and that OF
: 81, 900 at $174. 30-a total of 81, 254. 80
] Deduct from this for all expenses, $50
on the last issue and $4,000 on the frs
: issue-total s2,500-and the COUNTY
q would have netted 1854. 80 and as on
? friend of the Herald says, this is
: fact and not fancy"

What He Missed.


My wedding was not far Ia the past

several bachelor friends of my hus-
bands l was especially anxious for
things to run smoothly, as one of the
party was somewhat of an "old flame"
and i wanted him to see just what a
wonderful housekeeper he had missed.
The maid was new, so to be perfectly
sure that all would go well 1 ordered
the dinner In complete detail the pre-
yious evening.
In bringing in the soup the maid
spilled serving on the very man that
was planning to impress. When the
meat course came on there was an abb
sence Of potatoes. and on asking for
them / was informed that we were
out Of potatoes and she had forgotten
to order them.

Sir Edward Grey. former foreign Sec
rotary, now viscount Grey of Fallo-
den, is preparing a volume Of me-
moirs. He has grown almost totally
blind, and is learning all over again
how to read by the sense Of touch.
Fate has brought tragedy into Sir
Edward Grey's life. He was deeply de-
voted to his wife, companion to him
in his fishing trips and other out
door excursions. She was injured in
a runaway accident in 1905 and died.
Always Of a retiring disposition, the
former secretary became more so un-
der the poignancy Of this domestic
tragedy. A short time before the war
a brother was killed by lion In At
RIGA. In the early days Of the war his
nephew, who would have become heir
to the title Of viscount, which was con-
ferred on him when governmental
changes saw him depart from the for
eign office, was killed. The title, there
fore, may lapse with the death Of the
first viscount, Grey. himself, for he has
no children.

Merchantville will play here Satur
day. On Friday New Egypt will play
Mount Holly at the fair ground.
There will be meeting of the league
at Wrightstown tomorrow evening at
which the pennant will be presented.
1t will be a lively meeting as there will
be several protests entered. Pember-
ton will havetwo. One will be against
Mount Holly on the ground that we
would not allow the visitors an umpire
in the game here. The other will be
against New Egypt. The principal
objection on this contest appears to be
that New Egypt had a man who
knocked ball over to the creamery
roof
Burlington will also put in two pro-
tests One of these will be against
New Egypt. In game between these
two clubs there was dispute at the
end of the fifth inning and Burlington
left the ground, so the umpire awarded
the game to New Egypt. Burlington's
other protest will be against Borden,
town.
While Pemberton is kicking over
the action of Mount Holly in not al
