PROTEST MADE
At SOUTH AMbOY
Object to Removal Of Furniture
From W. c. c. Rooms
Bv Special Correspondent.

SOUTH AMBOY, Sept ia repre-
sentative of the War Camp Commun-
ity Service has been in this city the
past few days making arrangements
Tor the sale of the furniture now In
the building being used by them on
David st. The building is now used by
building Is now used exclusively by
the members of the American Legion,
company f and former service men.
The house has come to be known as
the Service Club and has been moro
or less a community center for some
months past.
The action of the War Community
people in taking this furniture away
from the men under the existing CON
ditions Is meeting with no end of I'M
favorable comment. 1t has been
pointed out that the w. c. G. s. has
spent practically nothing in this city
the past few months while there still
remains a balance of over eight hun
dred dollars in the bank which will be
turned over to the national headquar-
tiers and will do the city of South AM
boy no good at all. They have been
able to get along in this city without
spending any money only through the
courtesy Of Company F In allowing
them to use their building on David
street.
1t will be recalled what splendid
WORK the girls or this city did under
the auspices of the War Camp Service
In entertaining the soldiers at Morgan,
and the sacrifices hat the people of
this city made in contributing the
money that made this work possible.
1t has also been noted that the To-
cal chapter of the American Red
Cross set aside thousand dollars
for use In h canteen and they raj
the canteen for many months.
South Amboy has done a whole lot
for the country during the war and
has received nothing for it, only the
Morgan explosion. 1t will be remem-
bered, right in the midst of the ex-
plosion they put their quota over the
top" and within a few weeks made
unexpected subscriptions to the
United War Work Drive of which the
War Camp Community Service receiv-
ed a goodly portion.
Company F has a building and no
furniture. The American Legion has
neither. Company F has kindly made
an offer to the American Legion to
use the building. and the members of
the Legion are asking If it Is right
for the w. G.. G. s. to take from the
city which justly belong here. These
men most of them recently discharged
from the service with but two months
pay and a good number without Jobs
cannot afford to pay the four hundred
dollars asked for the furniture and
If it is taken away they will have no
club house.

WOMEN 7 OA|D
BOARD Of TRADE
Committee Meets to Aid in Civic
Program Here

The nucleus for a greater Perth
Amboy was laid yesterday afternoon
when e. representative body of wo-
men who responded to the call of the
local Board of Trade met in the
Presbyterian chapel and laid plans
and gave suggestions for the future
Detterment n welfare of this city.
The meeting was opened by an adj
dress by the chairman of the after
noon, Mrs. John Haywood. She ex-
planned in brief the object of the
meeting and introduced Rev. Mr.. Will
liam H. Bawden who made an adj
dress which explained in detail the
workings in the minds of the leaders
of the local Board of Trade and the
Chambers of Commerce throughout
The country. Special emphasis was
laid on the fact that the Chambers of
Commerce or Boards of Trade are
getting away from that old Idea that
principal function is to bring factories
to a city and In it's stead is the new
idea of making the city of such a
calibre that factory owners will come
to them and ask for sites owing to
the progressive nature of the city. In
short Improvement of the city Is the
main issue that the women have been
asked to cooperate with the men on.
Fred E. Hilton, secretary of the
Boa of Trade made q short addres5
and asked for open suggestions from
the members present. The meeting
was then thrown open for suggestions.
Suggestions concerning the play
grounds, the sewer pipes, whistles at
night ETC., were argued in detail.
A committee to nominate ar ex-
ecutive committee was appointed by
the chairman. Serving on this commit
tee are Mrs. Theodore Degenring. Mrs.
Whitney w. Oliver, Mrs. 7. 7. Block,
Mrs. Glenworth Sturgis, Mrs. e. War
ter and Mrs. John Haywood. The

F. e A M (

r. q n. M.
Whereas it has pleased AL
mighty God to call from labor
here below to the Celestial Lodge
above our beloved Brother j. M.
Plunket. who died at his home
with E. w. Rodgers, a son-in-law
and family in Montgomery, La,
April 20, 1919, in his 95th year;
therefore be it
Resolved first That this lodge
feels the loss of our dear Brother.
he being the oldest and a charter
member of the lodge. always
giving good counsel and brother
ly love to all; loved and honored
by all who knew him. a most
worthy and grand old man; as a
christian character he was unex-
celled; true to his God and church
until the last; kind and patient
with love to all below. His pill
grimage here was the highway;
his nearest associate, the holy
spirit. His long life and labor
with the M. E. Church South,
the church of his choice, holds
his memory near and dear to
them. He loved his neighbor
churches and all christians, ever
ready to work with them and
give them good counsel. The
church has lost . brilliant light,
the community one of her best
citizens. the family a wise and
loving father.
Resolved 2nd-That we extend
to the bereaved family of our de-
ceased brother, our deepest love
and sympathy and pray that the
ever living God may prepare
them to meet him and sustain
them in the loss of their dearly
beloved father.
Resolved 3rd-That a copy of
these resolutions be spread on
the minutes of this lodge. a copy
sent to E. w. Rodgers and 7. w.
Kindred, and one to the Colfax
Chronicle for publication.

Kill Garden Pests With Arsenate O.
4 Lead Mixture.

h1ll OarQen rests with Ar0en0te OF
f Lead Mixture.
The simplest method of con-
trolling garden pests that bite
plants, such as cabbage worms,
potato bugs. and tomato worms.
or any other insect that chews or
bites, is to mix about four parts
|of lime with one part of arsenate
of lead. and dust on the plants
by means of a thin piece of cloth
soon in the morning when the
plant leaves are damp with dew
so the poison will stick. Com
pared with Paris Green. London
Purple, lime. or insect powders.
Arsenate of Lead is the most
B ats factory poison known.
There is no danger from eating
cabbage or any other crop that
has been sprayed or busted with
)Arsenate of Lead. as the amount
necessary to kill insects and
worms would not nurt a man,
and besides none of the poison
IS absorbed by the plant and it
may be washed off easily. A
pound of Arsenate of Lead mix
ed with lime will poison a half
acre garden or a half-pound will
kill all of the bugs and worms in
an ordinary sized garden at one
time. Every gardener should be
armed with some of this poison
for his enemies.
