BIBLE CLASS CELEBRATES
FIRST ANNIVERSARY.
Men of ST. Johns Church Have Elabo-
rate Feed and Good Time Generally.

The First Anniversary of the Allen
B. Endicott Bible Class of st. Johns
M. P. Church was held in the dining
rooms of the church last Monday eve
ming, and was in every way a success
full and enjoyable function. The spa
cious rooms were crowded to their ut
most capacity by the SO members of
the class able to be present-(5 of the
boys are still overseas)-and an equal
ly large number of invited guests of
both sexes. Judge Endicott, the foun-
der of the class, was the principal
speaker of the evening, and paid a
high tribute to the men of the organi-
Zation and the Motto which they have
selected big figure 8 within a TRAN
gle and circle standing for Christ,
the Other Fellow and Oneself. Rev.
w. L. Morton, of Mt. Pleasant NJ. P.
Church, spoke on "Watchfulness, Cour-
age and Perseverance. Other speak
ers followed in a more or less humor-'
Gus vein, but it remained for Daddy"
Shoemaker, their pastor, as he is affec-
tionately called by all, to win and hold
completely the entire gathering by his
fatherly talk, and when he concluded
by saying, Boys, l have been praying
for each one of you from the start and
| shall keep on praying while | live,
there were few dry eyes in the audi
ence. Since its organization one year
ago., this class has kept steadily in
creasing in numbers, attendance and
interest. 1t has raised money to fit up
the rooms in fine style; bought consid-
cradle silverware and dishes, and has
given a supper once each month dur
ing this period. During the entertain
ment the guests were treated with a
! number of musical selections by an
orchestra and by a fine Victrola. The
orchestra consisted of John Sooy, clar-
met; William Mathis, cornet; Stewart
Ireland and Emerson Hilton, ~violins,
and John Adams, pianist. There were
also vocal selections by Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Crowder, Mr.. H. Smith of At
lantic City, and Mr.. j. R. Way, all of
which received hearty encores. The
menu was all that the most fastidious
could have wished for and was as fol-
lows:
Oysters on the Half Shell
Celery Bouillon Pickles
Roast Turkey
French Peas Potato Salad
Lettuce and Tomatoes with
Mayonnaise Dressing
Ice Cream Cakes
Cafe Noir

CAPTAIN HALVOR L. HARLEY
RETURNS TO THE STATES.
Arrived at Hoboken Saturday and Made
Short Visit Home Monday.

Capt. Halvor L. Harley. after fifteen
months in service with the colors,
eight months of which were in Eu-
rope in the base hospital, just behind
the st. Mihiel sector, returned to his
home in Pleasantville this week, and
was given an ovation by his many
friends. He landed in Hoboken on
Saturday.
He was aboard the Prince Freder-
lex Wilhelm, a 650-foot vessel, which
was to be fitted up on this side to
carry troops. There were on the craft
On it's first trip to this side, after ly-
ing for foul years in harbor, 500 offic-
ers and LOO men
DIR. Harley said that he met in
France DR.. Quinn and DR.. Weiner, of
Atlantic City, at Neufchateau. They
were in good health, and busy with
work. The medical corps had a great
deal of work to occupy their time.
They seldom had much time to them
selves.
In his base hospital there was one
Atlantic City soldier who lost a leg,
which was crushed in a motorcycle
accident, but he did not learn his
name. Where his base was it was just
behind the front and was caring for
thousands of wounded.
While he was neal the fighting front
he never was under severe fire except
by aerial bombing craft, and from an
occasional shell which came in their
direction.
DR.. Harley said he was glad to get
home, and he was satisfied with hav-
ing taken part in one war, which was
enough to satisfy his desires. How
ever, he was happy over the fact that
he had been in active service and help
ed to win the war. He looks the pic
ture of health.

MORE BOOKS NEEDED
FOR THE BOYS OVERSEAS.

New Jersey libraries have worked
hard and collected thousands and
thousands of books but there has come
n more call-the most urgent we
have had from the other side. General
Pershing himself has cabled the Lib
rary War Service asking that at the
very least three-quarters of a million
more books be shipped overseas be-
tween now and July first. Two-thirds
of these must be new books. The col
lections of the United War Work Fund
are running poorly in many parts of
the union and demands for millions of
technical books have taken the Lib
rary Wan Service money.
The Library War Service is asking
if New Jersey can not collect twenty
five thousand books. They do want
Library War Service asks it but be-
cause the boys overseas ask it. These
are Jersey boys who are asking for
these books. Our own 18th and Goth
the boys who fought at Argonne and
Chateau-Thierry-the boys we are all
preparing to welcome home in July.
They come from every town. They
are asking for good fiction. We know
the people have given, but everybody
has kept some books they especially
liked-can't you give some of those?
We read of the homesick boys, we
read of Brest, we read of conditions in
France, the people deplore them-this
is their chance to help to alleviate
them. Can we count on you?
Any contributions of books may be
left at the ~Pleasantville High School
in the Library, and all such will be
forwarded the first of May.

LEGISLATURE CHANGES
DEER HUNTING DATES
December 16, II, 18, 10 and 20 the days
and Use of Dogs Still Prohibited.

Deer hunters will not be able to fol
low their favorite sport this year until
after the close of the season for small
game, the Legislature having changed
the days when deer can be killed from
five Wednesdays preceding the small
game season to December 16, IL, Is, 19
and 20. The prohibition against using
dogs or killing does or fawns still
holds, and only nj deer may be killed
by each hunter.
Every deer killed must be reported
within twenty-four hours to a game
warden under a penalty of 800 fine.
Deer may not be possessed on any
other day except those above named,
except deer killed on preserves. A
liberal construction of this feature will
be necessary, for it will not be posi-
BILE for gunners who happen to kill
deer on the last day of the season to
get the animal and eat it before mid
night.
The new law does not repeal the
statute prohibiting hunting in a track.
ing snow.
Farmers are still permitted to kill,
under certain restrictions, deer that
injure their crops, but there is SO
much red tape" in addition to the
fact that they must. give up the deer
to a warden that few will take the
trouble to secure the necessary per
mission. Deer were never more MI.
merous or holder, than they are at
present. and they are feeding in fields
close to towns, often within a hundred
yards of farm houses.

PAY FOR VICTORY,
PASSMORE URGES

E. Pussy Passmore, governor
of the Third Federal Reserve
Bank, made the following appeal
to the people of the district:
"This Fifth Liberty Loan is
officially designated the Victory
Liberty Loan and is in a financial
sense a triumphant celebration of
the consummation of u hopes
and prayers for the winning of
the war and the preservation of
our liberties. The ideals for
which this nation fought have
been indicated on the field of
battle and the money price of
that victory, the greatest and
most momentous victory of all
history, must be paid promptly,
cheerfully and in full share.
1.-THE portion of this great loan
allotted to this district is $780,
100000, and yet no one complains
that it is too large, for what we
have done before, we can do
again but it is a. herculean task
and will take the best effort of
the entire community.
"Out of our abundance the loan
must and will be subscribed here,
as it will be throughout the coun-
try, but the maximum of endea-
vor must be maintained TO achieve
the success at which we aim.
"It is said Love of Country
Leads Then the supreme duty
of the hour is clear and from now
on to the close of the campaign
on May 10 let it not be said of
n of us that we ere not equal
to.it. We have proudly metthe call
to duty in the past and we believe
our grateful citizens, putting pa
triotism and citizenship above all
else, will again write their record
big and clear in the name'o of those
who fought for us and in thanks
giving for the Victory they helped
to win"
