"Doushboys" to the Rescue.

French newspapers are warm In
their tributes to our soldiers. The
Americans appearance. their behavior.
their ability to meet emergencies,
have won great admiration. The
Paris Figaro tells the following story !:
A train for the country had been
stalled by some strange condition Of
the locomotive. The passengers beat
their feet on the floor and uttered OBJ
jurgations from the windows. More
time went by. The conductor walked
vainly up and down the track. Moth
ing availed to start the engine.
Suddenly some one shouted: why
don't you bring In the Americansr
The cry went up and down amid laugh
ter when, sure enough, two young
American soldiers appeared upon the
scene from some corner of the train.
They went to the engine, took posses
sion Of 1t, dumped all the old Stag out
of the firebox, broke up some coal into
small bits, renewed the fire, hammered
little here and there, and, presto up
started the train all at once, and pro-
ceeded without interruption to Its
journeys end.

CHARM IN PLEASANT VOICE
Point of Personality to Which Most
People Seem to Pay Little
Attention.

Men and women go to great pains
and spend more or less money in an
effort to improve their personal APP
pearances. They keep the beauty doc
tors and the BARRIERS busy to maintain
their skins and their hair in good con-
dition. The masseurs make good
living out of almost all of us.
This is. of course. perfectly proper.
1t is right that we should look as well
as it is possible for us to do. We
should even be urged to wear very
good clothes. Shakespeare, who said
everything, said that we should wear
good clothes. Costly thy apparel as
thy purse can buy" said he; 'the ap-
parel oft proclaims the man." And.
certainly, it proclaims the woman.
But there is one very great charm
about men and women that they
neglect to cultivate, as a rule. 1t Is
their voices. If God gives us good
voices to start with, all well and good,
but If we are not so blessed by nature
we seem to make no effort to cure
the Ill. And 1t is surely misfortune
for any one to go through life with
a disagreeable voice.
1t does not seem to be a matter OF
general knowledge that person with
an unpleasing voice can improve II
wonderfully under an instructor as
well as by simple though self-imposed
efforts.
II there be any man to whom a
good voice is necessity 1t Is the ora
tor. Wen. the greatest of all orators,
Demosthenes, was a sufferer. he
cured himself by rolling pebbles under
his tongue.
: Let women. particularly, remember
that no matter how plain and homely
their physical features may be. no mat
ter how slight the grace Of their bod
les, they can still make themselves
infinitely charming by the possession
Of pleasing voice.-Los Angeles
Times.

The league games ended yesterday

The league games ended yesterday.
McCue caught a fine game, but
Berner kept him working.
Smithville did not show up yesterday
so there was no game here.
Some of these days Pemberton will
awaken to the fact that it pays to play
straight.i
1t was game for blood as we'll as
for money. 1t was Pemberton's last
chance to make good and they failed.
New Egypt did not play Saturday,
but the people from that place came
down 10 force to cheer for Mount
Holly, and you may believe they did
it,
Mount Holly ended at the tail end
of the league but the victory over
Pemberton, Saturday, well repays any
feeling of regret at not being nearer she
top.
Before the game started New Egypt
man asked; Are you Mount Holly
fellows goingao play to win?' He was
assured that was the intention and he
was satisfied that such was the case.
| Poor Suffolk Newman How he did
work Saturday, and how he did feel
his defeat. You can't blame him. To
have the tail-enders knock him around
as they did was certainly humiliating.
OF course he got his $25 if his hackers
had that much left, but money does
not compensate for everything.
Billy Chambers umpired splendid
game behind the bat and strange to
say, the visitors did not have anv-
thing to complain about. Billy got
two hits, one on the arm and one on
, the leg. He says Berner lshot them
over so fast that he could not call balls
, and strikes and keep out of the wav al
the same time.
The last game of the league was
played yesterday at Pemberton, when
: the team Of that town again went
to defeat, New Egypt winning by the
score of two to nothing. While the
'corn-planters" had the series already
secured it was somewhat OF a pleasure

HARVESTING BIG WHEAT CROP
Department of Agriculture Advises
Farmer to Consider Question
of Stacking.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
With the biggest crop Of wheat on
record about to be harvested, 1t Is
probable that in many nelghborhoods
thrashers will not be able to make
their rounds in the usual time Con-
siderable quantities of wheat will have
to wait beyond the usual thrashing
time. If left In the shock, it will be
damaged by every rain. even to some
extent by the dew. The stacking OF
wheat has fallen into disuse in latter
years, but 1t would be well, the de-
partment of agriculture says. for the
farmer who is not certain of promp,
thrashlng to consider It this year.

Assistant band leader Markowitz has
assured Camp Dix night this evening
at Rancocas Park of another detail
from the 50th Infantry band. All ex-
service boys and soldiers are cordially
invited as guests. Ladies attend by
invitation of hostesses.
Base ball fans were treated to great
game Saturday afternoon by the local
team of the Community League. No
better game was played during the
season, and it is pity we have not a
chance to cross bats with the League
leaders. Before another issue of THE

Business Men Endorse Park
Drnio1t


AT the annual meeting of the Noun
Holly Business Mems Association
held on Tuesday night, the association
went on record as endorsing the pre-
ject of making the former Evan lum
Der yard public park, and espresso,
the opinion that it should be unde
municipal ownership and manage
ment. A committee of five was ap
pointed to confer with and urge tn,
township committee to take up tn
question Of the purchase OF the prop
erty. 1t was the unanimous opinion
Of the large number of members pres
emit that there is need of a park, cen
trally located, and that it can be pu
to numerous uses for the benefit of thu
public. The committee is composed
of w. w. Worrell, w. c. Wetherill
E. w. Esham, DR.. d. f. Remer and
II. l.. Walters.
The committee in charge Of the
homecoming reception of service men
OF Mount Holly, which is to be given
by the association, reported that Sep
TENDER IL has been fixed for the event,
and that it will be held in the fine new
factory building being erected on King
street and nearly completed.
C. p. Wellman, director of the
Mount Holly branch of the War Camp
Community Service, told of the ad-
vantages that had accorded to numer-
Gus cities and towns throughout the
country by the camp community ser
vice. Mount Holly was no exception;
indeed, it had learned, like others, just
what can be accomplished by COM
munity effort. The war being over
and the troops nearly all demobilized,
it is expected that the camp commun-
! ity service will be discontinued in the
near future, probably in October or
November.
Many communities noe desiring to
lose the benefits Of the experience and
to have some form Of the work contin-
ued. has resulted in the formation of a
permanent national organization
known as Community Service, Incor-
porated. with headquarters in New
York city. This society will not rem
der financial assistance to commun-
tiles, but will supply free of charge for
period Of three months or longer,
the services Of an experienced man to
visit the town and take the lead in
forming a permanent local organiza-
ton to continue community work and
get it In active running order.
The suggestion was taken under ad-
visement, for future action.
The election Of officers resulted las
follows:
President, L. L. Sapp; vice presi-
dent, DR.. FL. E. Longsdorf; secretary
treasurer, Herbert 8. Killie; executive
board, Charles Coles, Alex Dubell,
