Everybody hates gutter!
Uncle Sam is going 70 finish every

Ee finished one job in France when

across the Rhine.
Uncle Sam and the Allies are finish

in Europe, where they propose 10 stop
wars forever.
We are going to finish another at
home, by paying the big bills this
war cost us.
The Victory Loan will attend to
that Tie job is not finished until the
bills are paid.
We went into this war On a big
=cale, which was the only way TO win
We couldn't provide men and NUM-
items and ships and food in hand

Uncle Sam went to work was one
thing that made the Kaiser quit so
quickly He saw we were in the war
to the finish
There is to be just one more Lib

Military Affairs.

Herbert Brannin, of Mount Holly,
who was in the ambulance service in
France, was discharged last week at
Camp Dix. He tells some interesting
stories about his experiences in the
service.
The government will purchase out.
right, instead of continuing the pres.
ent leases, the land occupied by the
reservation, in converting Camp Dix
into a permanent army post, orders
received at camp headquarters on Fri
day from the War Department, direct
ing Gen. Scott to appointa board, com.
posed of himself as commandant, and
two officers, to recommend the areas
that will be needed. The land desired
will later be assessed by an impartial
board and purchased from the owners,
The board to decide on the future camp
limits is composed of Gen. Scott, Col.
E. r. Lindsay and Col. Davis c. An
derson. They will ascertain what por-

to that actually occupied by buildings,
will be needed for military training
operations.
Mayor Ellis, of Camden, has received
word that the 18th Division of New
Jerseys drafted men will sail May 20,
which will bring them into this coun-
try about ten days later. Then they
must undergo two weeks quarantine,
presumably at Camp Dix. The seth
Division, New Jersey, Maryland and
Virginia national guardsmen, will sail
June 25, bringing them here early in
July. 1t is question whether both of
these divisions will be brought into the
state as unit for grand review.
Governor Edge has made request of
the war department that the two divis-
ions be sent home as units.

people of this neighborhood. He has
owned the Slack farm on the Burling-
ton road for some time, and frequently
visited this section.
As IA result of the investigation Of
the operation of the New Jersey school
law, made last year by committee of
the legislature under the craftsmanship
OF John c. Gill, number of bills
have been introduced in the senate and
house, which will make radical
changes in school affairs if adopted.
The tendency appears to be to increase
the power of the State Board of Educa-
ton at the expense of local boards.
Thus one bill gives the State Board
power to remove any school official or
employe in the state, including mem
bers Of local boards, principals, teach
ers and janitors. Another takes the
appointment of the Commissioner OF
Education from the Governor, and
gives it to the State Board Attend
ance officers in townships are placed
under tenure in another proposed law
A modification of the teachers tenure
act has been presented, which is being
fought by the teachers and as stro ngly
favored by boards of education. Ar
act uniting the retirement fund and
service pensions, and making many
changes in their operation, has already
passed the House. The modern ides
of centralized education, as shown by
the closing Of many small schools al
over the state and the transportation
OF pupils to some central point, is t,
be gradually applied to school admin
istration. and there appears to be SOM
sentiment among the investigators il
favor Of making q county the smalles
unit and having all the schools therein
administered by small, paid, appoint
ed board, with its members directly re
sponsible to the state authorities.

Business Men Act on Important
Subjects

Subjects
Matters of considerable local interes
were brought up at the regular meet
ing of the Mount Holly Bushes
Mems Association held on Tuesda,
night.
Motions were carried to appoint com
mittees on the following subjects:
To arrange proper celebration fol-
the welcoming home of soldiers of the
18th and 18th divisions, probably some
time in June.
To arrange for holding the annual
merchants picnic in August.
To adopt plan for the advertising
Of the town of Mount Holly, not only
from business standpoint but from
every angle. w. c. WetheriIl, who
offered the motion, suggested that
many meetings of this committee
should be held and that the advice of
prominent and successful business
men and residents should be obtained
on this matter in order to devise a
comprehensive scheme to make the
town and its advantages better known,
also to offer suggestions for the NUM-
cipality's improvement.
A motion was passed requesting the
local trolley company to restore the
two early morning and evening half
hour cars that formerly were scheduled.
The restoration of this service was
promised at the time the company was
permitted to increase its rates of fare,
but could not then be carried out on
account of shortage of equipment and
men.
1t was decided to purchase 500
bonds of the County Game Protective
League for the purchase of a game
farm near Mount Holly, provided the
association is successful in raising the
required amount.
The sum of $50 was voted to the
visiting nurse fund, and the executive
committee was requested to advise
with the Woman's League in reference
to the permanent continuance of the
nurse.
A motion was passed which again
placed the association on record as fav-
oring the construction of bridge from
Camden to Philadelphia, and offering
any assistance possible to boost that
enterprise.
At the request of the Burlington
County Fair Association, committee
was named to confer with the directors
in reference to the coming annual fair
next fall; also to confer in reference to
having a joint celebration of the 4th
of July, similar to that held last
year.
The committee on soldiers and sail
ors' memorial county hospital reported
having met with considerable encour-
agement in its campaign in various
parts of the county.
The committee appointed about a
month ago to confer with the War
Camp Community Service in reference
to the erection of recreational build
ing for the entertainment of soldier
visitors and for community purposes,
reported that the cost of erecting and
furnishing the type of building desired
would be approximately $4,000. The
committees report is in the possession
OF the War Camp Community Service
headquarters in New York. city for
actioniand suggestions as to what part
of the cost will be borne-by that organ
ization.

get the sentiment OF the VOJefS on a re-
quested increase in salary of 5000 a
year for each of the 81 teachers in the
borough. Following the refusal of the
board of education to grant the increase
after several appeals and petitions, the
teachers decided to go over the head of
the board and appeal to the public, be-
lieving that the referendum will grant
the increase by large majority. AS
the budget adopted last month is in
sufficient, the petition authorizes the
board to borrow what is needed and
pay it off next year. The voters OF
Collingswood appropriated $55, 800 for
school purposes in February and the
salary increases asked will add about
S., 900 to that amount.
The Bell Telephone Company has
struck a snag near Jacksonville. Last
summer the home of ]. Edward Englt
was destroyed by fire. Engle had 9
telephone and when his house was
destroyed he moved into his garage
When the new residence was ready
Engle asked the company to transfe

work he had done. He refused to pa,
the amount and the service was shu
off. AS satisfactory results could no

the wires of the company were tres

Earlv Morning Fire

Shortly before halfpast two o'clock
Friday morning, an alarm of fire was
given, and those who were awakened
by the ringing of the bells saw bright
ly-illuminated sky, with all indications
OF large fire in progress. The build
ing that was burning was on Mill
street, adjoining the Office of and own.
ed by the Mt. Holly Water Co. Years
ago it was occupied as flour and feed
store, but later it was the Headquarters
of the Ankokas Boat Club. That or
ganization gave it up and it was then
leased by Thomas l.. Quigley. who
was in possession of it when the fire
occurred. The high wind that was pre-.
vailing caused things to assume a
serious aspect, but the fact that there
had been a heavy rain during the pre-
vious evening was very beneficial.
The building was of inAammable
material, dry as punk on the inside
and this allowed the flames to get d
good start and aided in making the
fire stubborn proposition. The roof
was of tin and this prevented the
sparks from escaping as they would
have done with shingle roof, but, as
it was, pieces of burning timber were
carried over Pine street, causing the
residents Of that section much I'M
easiness. Some of the burning pieces
went as far as the Pine street bridge.
The fire department got to work as |
soon as possible. 1t seemed hard work |
to arouse the people, the wind prevent
ing the sound of the bells to be carried |
in some directions. Many citizens did |
not know until morning that there
had been fire. The firemen could not
do much but prevent the flames from
getting to adjoining property. The
office of the Mount Holly Water Com
pany was in danger but it was saved
and the furnishing inside was unharm-
ed Four canoes that were in the
burned building were saved, but two
others were destroyed.
Some delay in getting one of the
engines at work was caused by in
ability to get attached to the fire plug
at Mill and Green streets. This has
always been considered one of the best
sources of water supply in town, but
on Friday morning it was necessary
for the firemen to tear up a portion of |
the sidewalk before they could attach |
their hose to the plug. 1t is said that
the condition of this hydrant has been
brought to the attention of the water |
Company more that once but ap-
parently it has received no consider |
alton. In view of the fact that the cor
poratiou is asking higher rates, es-
pecially for plug service, it might be
as well to have that system put in
condition to warrant an increase in |
rates.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. J
So far as is known there was nothing
in the place to cause spontaneous COM |
bustion and the most reasonable
theory is that lighted cigarette
was thrown somewhere and finally /
started the fire. /
