10000 square miles of area, and our
los, 100000 population, we must utilize
every means of making our highway
systems serve the most tonnage, the
greatest number of people, and the
largest possible number of needs. We
must build some highways wider and
some thicker than others; whenever
possible we must use local material
and conserve every dollars worth of
improvements already made; and we
must avoid jumping at conclusions

facts.
Twenty per cent of our highways or
100000 miles, at 100000 per mile, the
cost of many present day state roads
would aggregate $2o,o00,000,00 at the
first cost.
'Tf within the present, or even the
next generation, we are to have a con-
nected and well-developed system of
highways, aggregating one-fifth of the
total mileage, it is perfectly plain that
a large percentage must be built of
less expensive types, but every one of
the standard proven types has its place
in the completed system.
There is no wholesale method of de-

AUSTRALIAN VIEW
OF THE HOLY LAND

Sydney, Australia, October 1S.-Harry
Gullett, official correspondent with the
Australians in the campaign which broke
the Turkish rule. over Palestine, says that
country twas disillusionment all the
way" In speech to newspaper men on
returning from the Holy Land" he
added:
Palestine was the ghost of country
living on the memory of the glory that
had gone. Jerusalem the golden was a
most verminous and foul city. There was
not a cedar on Lebanon; no balm blew
over Gilead, and there were no bulls in
Bashan.
What the Australian learned from this
land was that he must always keep and
strengthen his ideal of one land fer

[ SAY IT AGAIN


 Are you for a 4 B Town?
 Then get busy and add your strength. Brinkley has every thing else on earth necessary to make it a real city but ONE
 thing and that ONE THING is cooperation or team work. Ii some of our business men could but understand that they are actually sticking a thorn in their own flesh, tearing holes in their purses, cutting off their own noses, by withholding a public spirited cooperation in building a bigger, brighter, better Brinkley," they would break away from their selfish selves long enough to get to- gether and do some team work.

BEING coNTENTED

i Recently we heard one l Brinkley man say: "T wouldn't l be satisfied to do any other kind of work than I am doing.
 I'hert is more money in other ]. ines, but T like the work I am
 engaged in, and as long as
 like it am going to stick to It." Dare anyone say that a man so contented is not more successful, earning a living but earning it happily than others who have acquired great riches?
 Instead of laying so much stress upon the amount of money you can make in your line of business, wouldn't you be thousand times better off if you spend a little more time convincing yourself that con- tentment is better than wealth? For the success of the world is not founded on riches. It is built upon the satisfaction one gets from his employment, re- gardless of what the thought less have to say about>wealth.
 It is necessary that all of us earn living and these days with everything headed sky ward it is pretty hard to do. But there has never been a period in the worlds history when money was less respected Llxuries and comforts are to be desired, of course. But the man who works merely for

THE STRIKE SITUATION

While all of us in Brinkley and vicinity are pursuing the even tenor of our way and are | satisfied to stick at our work and make an honest living, we are, nevertheless, deeply inter ested in knowing how our lieighbors are faring. For that reason we are glad to know that after long years the gov ernment has taken a hand in the war beween capital and la Dor, and that out of it may come blessings for both sides. The day when little group of men could shut down vast en- terprises and force thousands into idleness is fast drawing to 1 a close. And the time when flew leaders of an organization
 could demand thousands of men to quit their work when they were contented and happy l is also soon to be a thing Of
 the past.
 The United States govern- 1nent has through the courts,
 held that no man or set of men
 have the right to endanger the comfort and happiness of millions of innocent women
 and children through their re- fusal to do their part in the EcOmmon order of things. It
 does not mean there can be no strikes, nor men will be forced to work when they have good
 reasons for not doing so. But it means that the interests or the vast body of Americans who are satisfied must first be taken into consideration be- fore such things are res"rted Ito.

OPENS
IN ONE WEEK
First Glass Motion Pictures VIII
Be Shown There

Announcement was made today by
Mr.. Kuhn, formerly a representative
of the Marcus Loew chain of theatres
in New York, that he has taken over
the Liberty theatre on Smith street
from local interests, and will open,
as soon as the contractors have conf
pleted their work, which is scheduled
for Friday night, September 10.
Mr.. Kuhn says that he will open
with the same policy as Is now being
presented at Loew's New York Thea
tire, on Broadway and 18th street,
namely the best and latest screen pro-
ductions, with the program changed
every Monday, Wednesday and Fri
day.
Mr.. Kuhn claims that taking in new
territory is not q matter Of hasty cal
culation, as he has been watching the
theatrical trend of Perth Amboy for
some time. Satisfied of it's prosperity
and enterprise, he Immediately COM
pleted plans for finding a suitable
home, and purchased the Liberty. Mr..
Kuhn has however, changed the name
of the Liberty, which hereafter will
be known as the Crescent.
The Crescent Is to undergo many
changes. Scenic artists, decorators
and carpenters are preparing the
theatre for the new regime. When
the work has been completed, the
Crescent will, according to Mr.. Kuhn,
undoubtedly be Perth Amboy's pref
test and coolest photoplay house.
Everything will be new, up-to-date,
and of the very best and latest and In
every way on a par with the standard
set by Loew's 10th street theatre. ac-
cording to Mr.. Kuhn and of which he
was managing director.
Mr.. Kuhn says the policy of the
Crescent will be exactly the same as
all of the Marcus Loew Theatres
throughout the country, running con-
t%inuously from noon to II p. NJ. The
program will consist Of only the best
and very latest film productions, pre-
senting the foremost stars of the stage
and r in stories written by the
most popular ~novelists and authors
These will be augmented by up-to-
date comedy pictures, educational
subjects, current news events and
scenic pictures. Special musical
scores will be rendered by a symphony
orchestra.
Associated with MI. Kuhn in this
great enterprise, is Mr.. Margolies,

In New York, who feels that the new
form of entertainment to be presented
at the Crescent Is bount to meet
