ORDER MUCH NITRATE
Bamberg County Farmers Apply For
1850 Tons Of Soda

Mr.. J. J. Heard, distributor Of gov
eminent nitrate Of soda for Bam-
berg county, has completed the work
of compiling applications for nitrate,
and Tuesday morning forwarded all
applications to the Washington au-
thorities.
Mr.. Heard states that he receiv-
ed in all applications for 1880 tons
Of the government fertilizer. The
nitrate of soda is now stored in ports
in different parts of the country, and
it is understood that deliveries will
begin just as soon as all applica-
lions have been received by the gov
eminent, and allotments figured out.
One hundred and twenty thousand
tons of nitrate of soda has been re-
ceived by the government from South
America for distribution to the far
mers of the country, and 1t is be-
lieved that the fertilizer deliveries
will begin in about two weeks.
Last year considerable delay was
experienced in the delivery of the
soda on account of the congestion
of the merchant marine, but as this
congestion has largely passed with
the ending of the war, the soda has
already been received in port, and
there will be no delay in getting it to
the farmers in ample time for use

There does not appear to be n
organized effort to raise the county's
quota for the relief of the Syr1ans
and Armenians, but it is hoped that
this will not prevent the quota from
being raised. Quite a neat sum was
realized last Sunday in various
churches and Sunday schools of the
county. although the total is proba-
bly far from the allotment made to
this county.
Two letters were received by rela-

large and versatile troop of enter
tainers, Ministries and comedians, in
Guiding a brass band. Madam Ma

in fact, The Great Spiegel claims-for
Madam Madella is modest-that she
has the most beautiful hair in the
world, virtually a reproduction of the
Golden Fleece.
Madam Madella attributes the re-
markable beauty n luxuriant
growth Of her Titan tresses to a Sc

rests in her sole possession. The
Great Spiegel dispenses a limited
quantity of this secret lotion at each

LEST WE FORGET
By WILLIAM H. RAwpEN
PENSIONS

Much has been said of late, both
IN the city and elsewhere thruout
New Jersey and the country general
ly, about the ~inadsquacy of the pres
ent pay of u public school teach
ers. While it is undoubtedly true
raised, yet we should not forget the
pension that will come to those who
continue long in faithful service at
their profession in this State. And
while 1t is also true that the teachers
themselves are asked to set aside
enough monthly to provide half of
this pension. New Jersey itself pro-
vides the other half.
1t is noised about that not a few
teachers have decided not to avail
themselves of the new pension system
when it becomes operative next fall.
Such will be making a great mistake;
for they have everything to win, and
nothing to lose. To say that they
have already lost out in the old sys-
tenn is neither fair nor true. The old
system is bankrupt, just as every
system of life insurance or pensions
becomes sooner or later bankrupt
upon an inadequate assessment. The
new system has been worked out on
an approved actuarial basis, as old
line life insurance is, and is as strong,
as one of the insurance companies
puts 1t, "as the rock of Gibraltar"
Moreover, the State has very gen.
erously come to the aid of those
teachers who have paid into the old
system and are depending upon it, by
Offering to pay an additional pension
to all who enter the new system.
proportioned to the number of prev
ious years that they ave served,
based on the same average salary on
which the new pension is to be based;
and in addition another smaller PEN
sion, the amount purchasable by
whatever money they have actually
paid into h old system, without
taking into account the interest
thereon.
Then again, it is not only'a pension
that is payable, when a specified age
is reached, but as we'll an earlier
pension, if disability should overtake
one: and while his may not be so
large as the old age pension itself,
nevertheless 1t is proportioned to the
years of service and the amount paid
in, and is therefore in every way as
equitable as the other. And more
important still. if for any reason a
teacher retires from service before
disability or old age sets in, while no
pension in that case will be forth
coming, still all that has been paid in
will be returned, with accrued COM
pound interest at three and one-half
per cent; or, upon death, be paid to
the heirs.
The New Jersey public school
teacher who does not avail himself or
herself of this new pension law will
be making a great mistake, for in
almost every instance 1t is generous
fair, n just, the only exception be-
ing the failure to recognize more
than thirty-fve years of previous
service. The pension should in every
instance be for the full term of serv-
ice rendered.
