Two Good Lectures.

Mount Holly was treated to two edu-
cational lectures-one on Friday even-
ing, the other last evening. They
we're delivered by s. F. Fannon, a rep.
resentative of the National Cash Regis
ter Company, of Dayton, Ohio, who
came here under the auspices of the
Mount Holly Business Mems Associa-
ton.
1t was pity that greater publicity
had not been given to the lecture on
Friday evening, as the audience that
was present was SO small as to almost
discourage any one, but Mr.. Fannon
said he would go ahead if there were
only two people in the room. There
were about one hundred, and the
speaker gave one Of the most interest
ing and instructive talks that has been
delivered in the high school auditor
ium. His theme was community well
fare work.
With illustrated slides and moving
pictures it was shown how back Yards
could be made beauty spots by the ex 4.
penditure of few cents. Pictures
were shown of street gamins, loafing
on corners and other pictures showing
the same boys engaged in gardening
and working to their own benefit. The
spirit inculcated in the boys extended
to the parents and even the city
authorities of Dayton took up the ideas
presented and made that city what it
is known to many people-"The city
beautiful" and those who have been so
fortunate as to visit the city can testify
that it deserves the name.
Last evenings lecture had BEEN CIV
en- more publicity by the committee in
charge and there was at least 500
people present ''The troubles of a
merchant and how to stop them" was
the subject handled by Mr.. Fannon.
He gave many practical hints on how
to conduct business, making special
point on the value of advertising.
Manners and actions of clerks towards
customers was another good point pre-
sented and the good results that come
fromi being courteous and obliging
were clearly depicted. A moving pic
ture showed how 'Mr. White" had
been losing money through various
channels, the main one of which was
lack of system, and then it was shown
how-by introducing business methods
of an improved nature success was at.
tanned.
Going to press so early we have not
the time to give more complete &C
count of the lecture, but, it is safe to
say. that not one in the audience did
not receive some idea that will beal
good fruit. Mr.. Fannon is a gentle
mau of pleasing personal address anC
he is an easy talker, presenting hi
facts in manner that leaves no room
for misunderstanding.

songs thrown on the screen and tn,
audience joined in them heartily.

THE NEWS presents to its readers
the name of Blanchard H. White,
native of Burlington county. born on
a farm in Springfield township. There
is not any especial introduction need
ed, for Blanche" is known to almost
every citizen of this county and those
who do not know him will have a
chance to get acquainted with him the
present week, as he intends to visit all
of the townships that he has thus far
failed to get into. He has gone around
pretty thoroughly, but he does not
propose to allow ANY place to escape
his attention. He is no novice in poll
tics, having served in both branches OF
the legislature and his services seem to
have been appreciated, as he was nom
mated at the last primary by a good
vote over two candidates who thorough.
canvassed the county. There is every
reason why the Republicans should
maintain a majority in the state sen
ate and blanche" White should bt
sent to Trenton by large majority

Burlington

The nuptials of Miss Marguerite
Irons, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Gilbert Irons, of the Metropolitan
Inn, and Frank A. Smith, of Beverly,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Smith,
were celebrated on Wednesday evening
at the parochial residence of ST. Paul's
church, Reverend Father Russi offici-
ating. The bride, wearing travelling
gown and hat to match, was attended
by her sister, Mrs. Charles Parker, as
matron of honor, the best man being
Mark Cramp, of Beverly.
Burlington dogs registered under the
name of Davis & Horn and owned by
Ira J. Davis and Charles d. Horn, of
that city, gave good account of
themselves at the sportman's beagle
trials at West Chester last week. Doc
tor b won third and Tekon Sultan
fourth in the all-age class. The same
dogs took the first prize, beautiful
silver basket and cash prize in the
grace stake.
Burlington Lodge of Moose is con-
templating erecting a home in this
city to cost about $50. 900, according to
some of the members. 1t is stated
that several plans have been consid-
cred as to the best way to finance the
proposition and that at the next meet
ing some of the members will explain
just how it can be done.
Social circles are keenly interested
in the wedding, tomorrow, of Miss
Ruth Curl Horner, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas g. Horner, of this
city, and Davis Smith, son of the
Mayor of Philadelphia, Thomas B.
Smith. The ceremony will be per-
formed by Rev. Charles S. Lewis, in
St Mary's Episcopal church. The
bride will be attended by Mrs. James
M. Vodges, of Edgewater Park. as
matron of honor, and the bridesmaids
will be Miss Elsa Collins, of Edge
water Park, and Miss Margaret Horn,
Of Bristol. Harvey Smith, brother
of the groom, will act as best man,
and William Roberts, of Germantown;
Stanley Broza, Glenside; Frank At
kinson, Burlington; and Frank Horn,
Bristol, will be the ushers. The bride
will be given away by her father Miss
Louise Lippincott, of Burlington, and
Miss Betty Smith, OF Philadelphia,
will be flower girls. The marriage is
the elimination of a romance that
began some summers ago when the
young people occupied neighboring
seashore cottages.
The Mount Holly news., 1919-10-28

Lippincott is farmer He has beer
connected with various organizations
which has given him an opportunity
to observe conditions and he is per-
fectly qualified to give the county an
administration that will be satisfac-
tory in every respect.
The lower part of the county has
been recognized in the nomination of
Captain George S. MAXWELL. That
this section should have a representa-
tive is absolutely necessary and no
better selection could have been made
than in the choice of Captain Max
well. He will give his entire attention
to the office and he should be elected
by large majority.
Whatever has been said of one man
with reference to fitness and intention
to devote entire time to the duties of
the office will apply equally to all The
Republicans could not have done bet
ter in districting and in the selection
OF candidates and the county cannot |
do better than to elect the men that
have been named.
In township affairs the Democrats
seem to have deemed it unnecessary /
or useless to nominate more than one
candidate. A determined effort will
be made to retain S. Earl Asay in the
office of member of the township COM
mittee. William S. Fryer is the Re
publican choice. Both of these gen.
tlemen are well known. Mr.. Asay
has had the experience of more than
one term in the Office. Mr.. Fryer is
new to the business but he has the
qualifications for the position and he
has the intelligence to soon acquaint
himself with all the duties that 90
with the place.
Ihere is no reason whatever why
taxpayers in general, regardless of
politics, should not support the Re-
publican ticket. AS said at the be-
ginning of this article the Democrats
have made stronger ticket than US
ual, but they have cut it down to two
or three positions. State senator.
county clerk, and members of the
small Board of Freeholders will re-
ceive the most attention. Especially
in the latter particular is a special
drive being made and it is to this sit
uation especial attention should be
given While the Democrats may
have good men to their support we
think the Republicans have better
and it is hoped that next
Tuesday will see the latter elected by
a large majority.

More Room Needed.

The statement is made that there is
need for more room to accommodate
the pupils of the Mount Holly schools.
The supervising principal has recorded
that this years enrolment is very large
and proper work is handicapped by
lack of room. The principal says this is
especially true of the high school build
ing which has considerable waste space
which cannot be utilized on account of
the poor arrangement of the rooms
There seems to be disposition in the
article published by member OF the
Board OF Education to KNOCK" the
high school, and the statement is pub
lished that the rooms in this building
are practically all made to accommo-
date forty pupils each and that the
state specifies that there should not be
over thirty pupils to room. which
means so far as Mount Holly high
schools building is concerned there
should be more smaller rooms.
In this connection it may as well be
recalled the fact that the high school
building was erected on plans and
specifications that went before the
state board of education and were
changed more than once to conform tC
the requirements of that body and the
size of the rooms and the number o.
pupils that would be accommodated
! were the subject of much discussion
and the rooms were so arranged, at thu
suggestion of the state board, to ac
commodate forty pupils each. So tina
the local board, which had the work o
putting up the high school, did al
that was required in the way of livini
up to state rules.
With the enrolment increasing from
!, l2l last year to 1885 this year, an
with an attendance of SO per cent. it j
not to be wondered at that more room
is needed and that is fact that wa
facing the school when the high schoC
building was put up. 1t was then pre-
dicted that another building woul
have to be erected at not very dis
tant day 1t is to be hoped that whe
the time arrives the new building wi
be model of convenience, accommC
dation and all that sort of thing ths
will not ALLOW of any criticism b

William H. Reeves is the Republi-
can candidate for county clerk and
The NEWS takes this opportunity to
ask every good citizen to cast a ballot
for him. 1t hardly seems necessary to
refer to Mr.. Reeves, as he is we'll
known all over this county and there
is not portion OF it where he is not
favorably thought of. He has spent
his life among US and has worked hard
to get living and to lay a little aside
for rainy day. He was station agent
for the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany at New Lisbon for several wears
and was also the postmaster at that
place. In both positions his record
was spotless. He has been engaged in
mercantile pursuits and has had sew
eral acres of cranberries under cultiya-
ton. In all of his business life he has
come into contact with various people
and not one will say word against
William H. Reeves in any respect. He
has been collector of Pemberton town
ship for years and his work in that
office has been pride to'the taxpayers.
OF naturally quiet and retiring dis
position, Mr. Reeves has not gone
forth in an aggressive campaign, but
has quietly sought support from the
people of Burlington county, and
wherever he has gone he has renewed
old acquaintances and made new
friends among the people who have
been impressed with the evidence he
has given Of being able to handle the
office of county clerk in way that
will be to the advantage Of the county.
That he has the ability to fill the po-
sition cannot be doubted. That he
will be the county clerk in fact as well
as in name is assured. The man or
set of men who can control William
ii. Reeves in an attempt to do any
thing that he does not approve of
have yet to be discovered. He does
not have returned soldier" record to
back him, but he does possess the
qualifications of successful business
man and the record of being able to
take care of any position that may
come to his care. THE NEWS cheer
fully pays this tribute to William H.
Reeves, not at his request or with his
but because 1t is due him

Change in Trolley Fares.

The New Jersey Public Utility Com
mission has made new ruling in the
rates of fares to be charged by the
Public Service Railway on its various
lines in this state 1t is proposed to
charge five cents for the first two miles
and cent for each mile thereafter with
one cent additional for transfer. The
present rates are three cents for the
first mile and two cents for each ad-
ditional mile with no transfer privi-
! leges.
While the proposed new rates will
materially reduce the fares Of the long
haul passengers and are regarded by
most patrons Of the lines as a substan-
tial victory of the people, the railway
company takes the ground that it can
not get along on the revenue which
the proposed rates would bring in. The
officials of the road are planning to op-
pose putting the five and one plan into
effect and have until to-day to file
their objections.
Stating that the charges for long
distance riding under the present rates
are too high the Utility Commission
declares that the, company cannot re-
main solvent and give adequate ser
vice under the rates of fare which pre-
vailed prior to the war because of the |
increases in the costs of labor and |
Its income with the increasing fares |
which have been allowed has been |
barely sufficient to pay operating ex-
penses, rentals and fixed charges,
says the commission. "It is apparent |
that these rentals and charges cannot
be paid under a five-cent fare except |
by serious impairment of the service.
The board would not be justified in |
the company to return to q
fare under operating conditions vastly
different from those now existing, and |
which would result in the companys |
except on clear showing
that the obligations it has assumed for
the payment of rentals and other fixed
charges are in excess of what would be
justified by the value of the properties
used"
The board further states that before
any permanent zone plan is adopted
Dr. any final schedule of rates permit
led the value of the properties of the
will be determined. The
BOARD has required the company to
submit to it complete inventory and
appraisal of its property, which inven-
,ory is being checked by experts and
accountants in the employ of the
board.

Political Notes.

There has been some criticism on the
injecting into the New JERSEY state
campaign, by the Republicans, of
national issues. This is not unfair for
national ideas are very much in the
foreground at present and other states
are taking notice of them. The South.
ern states are very pronounced in their
views on the subject. In an election
In the Seventh district of Alabama
last week, the normal Democratic
majority of $500 was reduced to scant
4O6 and that was an indication of the
feeling in that neighborhood. Hon.
Oscar w. Underwood, the Democratic
Senator from Alabama, said of this re.
suit: Undoubtedly the ratification Of
the League of Nations was one of the
issues; the Republican candidate was /
occupying position in emphatic repu- |
'diation OF the Treaty with the League
in 1T, while the Democratic candidate
was sustaining the President of the
United States F" This from such
prominent Democrat as Senator Un-
derwood is OF great importance and is
worth considering. 1t shows that the
people are looking into national issues
and are going to make them mart of
the present campaign.
Remember the importance of one
vote. DO not stay at home on anv
trivial excuse. Recall the result of the
primary election when James Mercer
Davis was defeated for mem Ger of the
state Democratic committee bv one
After the result was an
nounced there were two or three men
who said they did not vote because
they did not think their ballot would
make any difference Do not rest on
any such idea. Vote.
The Republican candidates will
make an automobile tour of the coun-
ty on Monday, starting from the court
house at eight o'clock in the morning
and visiting the principal towns. Ali 7
persons having automobiles and de-
siring to go on the trip are requested
70 be at the court house so as to start
promptly at eight o'clock.
