JAMESBURG, Dec. ia repre-
sentative number of members of the
South Middlesex Farmers Associa-
ton. with members of the Chamber
of Commerce of South River, were
before the Board OF Freeholders
Thursday afternoon in an effort to
have that body become interested in
the building of good roads. The del
egation found that the freeholdcrs
were already interested and that the
best plans available would be put
forth to give the agriculturists what
was desired.
Representing the Chamber of
Commerce was Mayor George Bur-
ton, who talked al length on the ad-
vantages of the new road that cor
meets the large number Of farmers
between his home town and Gram
bury. He represented $50 members
m all were in favor of having the
road completed.
II. Courtney Brown. of Jamesburg,
! vice president of the Middlesex
County Farmers Association, also
said a few words in favor of the con-
tinuation of the road. He gave In
detail the advantages to be derived
by the farmers who live along the
route and hat it would also open up
a new market for the farmers at
South River.
Several members of the board
made response to the petition of the
farmers and gave them the assur-
ance that they were in favor of the
new roadway and that the project
| would be put through il the funds
were available. Already the free
| holders have expended over $40, 00C
| on the new road and it has proved a
| big boon to the farmers already. The
| popular road seems to be a stone
| ballast with gravel on the surface,
This seems to be the popular road
way that the farmers desire and the
| least expensive to maintain.

Thieves Frightened Away

day night after the family occupying
the rooms above the Church street
garage had retired they heard sus-
picious noises which when investigat-

below. Knowing that the business

finding the doors had been pried
open. The timely arrival of those
interested had evidently scared away
the thieves, as no trace of them could
be found. The garage Is owned by

Corwin noted the change in the at.

faces OF Falltown's citizens. Some Of

ancc, and the haunting wistfulness in
the eyes of some had betrayed their
fear Of the outcome. There were men
who passed their friends without a
nod OF recognitiUn--their minds, their
hearts, their souls were in France
with their sons who were facing the
appalling hazard of death There were
others who scowled; still others whose
eyes were luminous with PRIDE there
were still others whose eyes glowed
with a sorrow that would be eternal.
Falltown had been a place of sub.
dued yoices---Of dread expectancy. II
had seemed to be waiting waiting
for something to happen.
And that something had happened.
Falltown had been awaiting the news
II had now received. And in the faces
OF men on the streets; In the faces OF
women and children there had come
a new expression. 1t was that OF grim
joy-the savage exultation' OF the vic.
tor.
Corwin was sitting at his desk one
day In November. He had not been
able to work. Somehow, though he
had no sympathy with the war, he felt
eager. expectant. II seemed to him
that great events portended. A dozen
times during the day he had got up, 10

manner-as though they desired 10
finish the tasks before them before
that something for which they waited,
should occur.
Corwin did not see Molly King
watching him; he did not see in the
girls eyes a certain CLEAN OF under.
standing and pity. For Molly knew
that the end was near--that victory
for the army In which her brother was
lighting was imminent-and she knew
that there would come a day for Cor.

and regretfully that he had been

M0ilys manner toward him was
slowly changing; and when the clos.

became one of cold restraint.
By this time, however, Cory in had

some Of his friends-he was in a

Morley Roberts altitude was similar
TO Corwin's. the only difference being
that Roberts was Chagrined over what
he Vas pleased 10 call "thc Govern.
ments au.ocratic methods" For a
government agent had made survey
of Roberts plant" and had laid be.
fore Roberts a scheme Of expansion
and readjustmcnt under which the
Roberts factory was expected 10 pro.
duce war munitions according to the
demands of the War Department.
Although the Government had in.
sured Roberts against loss, Roberts
resented the thought of anyone dictat.
ing to him. His factory was doing
the work, though, he admitted-and
he had bought some bonds. But he
had bought the bonds merely because
everybody was expected 10 buy them,
ne said, and not because he was in
sympathy with the war idea.
Roberts and Corwin lunched to.
gether many times during the summer
and fall. And they criticized the
Government without stint, and with a
feTvor that left them with a feeling
that there was foundation for the
criticism. 1t Was remarkable how
easy II was TO ind fault with what
the Government was doing-how the
war work was being done, how certain
things could be done more quickly
and efficiently, and how certain men
they knew could fiji positions more
acceptably that those already in office.
Like the man who tells a lie so
often that eventually he believes he
is telling the truth, Corwin and
Roberts became obsessed with the
conviction that nothing was being
done correctly. And the more they
brooded over the situation the flrmer
grew their conviction that the whole
country was being sacrificed to the in
eflcients and the blunderers
A righteous indignation seized them.
