Cooperation in LambertvilIe.

What every small community needs
for success and prosperity is the spirit
of cooperation. 1t is a matter of
common remark that in many local
tiles, whenever it comes to matter
of local interests or even political
candidate, personal interests and
animosities are forgotten and the
people all seem to stand together.
If there are any amongst our people
who cannot do this, it would be well
if the rest of us could forget it and
all stand together for mutual interests
and local improvement. If we can do
it, it will work for betterment of all
our local interests. Let us try to see
if we can develop this spirit in con-
nection with the industrial proposition
that is under consideration; and, if the
joint committee finds it desirable, all
work together and make it a great
success.

tsrs than hundred professors mulled
into one, makes Boswell very human
How jolly to hear that Boswell wrote
press notices about himself! Here Is
one of his own blurbs, which we
quote from Mr.. Newton's book:
Boswell, the author. is a most ex-
eellent man; he is Of an ancient fam
lily In the west of Scotland, upon which
he values himself not little. At his
nativity there appeared omens of his
future greatness. His parts are bright,
and hia education has been good. He
has travelled in post chaises miles
without number. He is fond of seeing
much Of the world. He eats of every
good dish, especially apple pie. He
drinks old hook. He has very fine
temper. He is somewhat Of humor-
list and little tinctured with pride.
He has good. manly countenance.
ind he owns himself to be amorous. He
has infinite vivacity, yet is observed at
times to have a melancholy cast. He
ID rather fat than lean, rather short
than tall. rather young than old. His
shoes are neatly made, and he never
wears spectaclee."
This brings the excellent Boswell
very very close to us indeed he might
almost be q member of the Authors
league. Especially apple pie, bless his
heart.

NOT STRONG ON NAVIGATION

ish Sailor In That Highly I'm.
portant Matter.

The Spaniards of early days were
most adventurous explorers, but, for
all their discoveries Of distant lands.
very poor navigators. After coming
upon the Solomon islands In the west
ern Pacific, they could not find them
again, and they were lost for 15o
years.
The water supply Of their ship was
kept in big earthen Jars. As 1t was
impossible to provide in this way
enough to drink for a long voyage.
they took to sea many large mats.
which when 1t rained were spread to
catch the drops. From the mats the
water was drained off into the Jars.
Probably it was no fault of Colum-
bus, but his first voyage to America,
which occupied two months time. was
mainly a drift. When he landed In
Cuba he thought he had reached Asia,
and sent an expedition inland to treat
with the great khan of Tartary. Later
his flagship, the Santa Maria, ran
aground off the coast of Haiti the ma
tives of which island welcomed him
most Hospitality. He noticed three or
four of them whose naked bodies show
ed scars which they attributed to
bites inflicted by man-eating saw
ages of another island called Can
iba. Whence the origin Of the word
cannibal-the island inhabited by these
anthropophagi being Porto Rico.
Less than 100 years ago Spain still
claimed ownership of the whole Pa
cif1c ocean, declaring 1t a Spanish lake
on the strength of Balboa's discovery
In 1913. Acting upon this idea, the
Spanish government ordered the COM
mandante of San Francisco to seize
the Columbia, the first vessel that
carried the American flag around Cape
Horn.

WORRY "c0NDIMENT OF LIFE"
A Little Of II Excellent, but II Must
Not Be Enduring or
Excessive.

Unless a man has a little worry
apathy Indifference and the mechan-
ical physical disinclination to do your
utmost without stunt will be lacking.
Without this condiment of life, this
salt of the human cosmos I'VE see to
what absurd yet tragic physical
lengths he is driven by the whip Of
that still vigorous tyrant, his self
instinct to fight" This thrilling force,
which one time had been used square
iy and successfully against the real
world enemy, is now absorbed In
trivial and self-debasing skirmishes
with the grotesque bolsheviki OF his
imagination.
In other words, II a man has q va
riety of anxious explosive outlets Via
his muscles and intellect, such as driv-
ing, tennis, swimming, dancing, compe-
tition, golf and the like. these act as
safety valves for the multitude Of i'm
pulses and reactions which habit and
custom have compressed out of his
es&ernal activities.
Worry is one of these. II not endur-
ing or excessive. For the average man
set In society, In work and in his fam
lily circle 1t takes the place Of larger
and better outlets for his destroyed
initiative.

Undoubtedly there is a great rela-
ton between the elements and certain
complaints In the same way that some
seasons of the year render certain peo-
pie liable to illness more than others.
The lower we investigate In the ami

In an uncanny manner The birds of
the air have but to be watched to see
the way in which they seek their nests
at hint Of danger in the air. The very
trees and plants tremble In a peculiar
manner before a severe storm. Many
human beings are just as sensitive to
the march of the elements, but do not
always realize the significance of their
sensitiveness. People who suffer from
govt, rheumatism or neuralgia know at
once when bad weather is approach
ing. Old wounds make themselves felt
at certain times, and the stumps of
members long since amputated give
pain. Medical men have never sat
isfaetorily explained these strange phe-
nomena, neither can they tell why
some people instinctively become rest
less and excited or moody, or sullen be-
,ore thunderstorms.

SALVATION ARMY
NULLIFIES POLITICS
interesting Chapter in History Of
Home Service Fund Campaign.
How Democrats and Republic
ans Got Together.

Trenton.-When the history of the
Salvation Army's Home Service Fund
campaign In New Jersey is written, If
II ever be written, 1t will contain an
interesting political chapter; or, to
speak more accurately. non-polltical.
Most OF us remember the ancient
prophesy about the lion and the lamb.
We are also pretty familiar with the
more modern proverb about politics
and bedfeliows. Both the prophesy
and the proverb have pertinence in
their application to the Salvation
Army campaign. In this campaign the
lion did lie down with the lamb, politi-
cally, and the bedfellows were strange
because Of the multiplying effect which
the Salvation Army exerted upon poll
tics.
1t was Just a happen-so that the
chairman of the Home Service cam
paign in New Jersey, former Governor
Edward G. Stokes, was also chairman
of the Republican State Committee.
His selection for the two state chair
marshlps was practically simultaneous.
the other. There was an opportunity
to use his party machinery on the Sal
walton Army drive, as the mayor of
one of Americas most important mu-
inequalities did successfully on another
drive not 80 long ago, but he brushed
aside the idea, II, indeed, 1t ever &C.
Cured to him, and proceeded to enlist
the active cooperation Of men and
women who would do the most good
for the cause.
Efficiency His Criterion.
1t happens that, astute politician
that he is, Mr.. Stokes has studied the
quality Of the men In the opposition.
as well as In his own camp, and thus
was able to make impartial selection,
with a constant eye to the all-impor-
tant factor Of efficiency. What the
Salvation Army needed were men, yes,
and women too, who had rubbed ell
bows with the public and thus gained
a practical knowledge of how to get
the public sympathy and the public
support 1t Is interesting though not
surprising to note that In his deter
mination to play no political favorltes
In a cause that knows no creeds.
classes or shades of political belief he
was met halfway and heartily by his
friends Of the opposition.
Hence the Democratic counties of
Hudson and Hunterdon and Sussex
and Warren were eager and active in
getting on the job. Hence men like
former Banking and Insurance Com
missioner George NJ. LaMonte, Demo-
cratic standard bearer in the United
States senatorial fight in New Jersey
last fall, and women like Mrs. James
F. Fielder, wife of a former Demo
cratic governor, responded immediate
ly to the call for volunteers for the
campaign of the Salvation Army by
getting actively on the job.
AS a political harmonizer the Saliva
ton Army can give the cutest pollti-
clan cards and spades. And so II
might be deduced that the only sure
way to establish harmony is to keep
bravely out of politics, as the Saliva
ton Army has done

Neutral Nations In War Time.

James Mill. the English economist,
as early as 1921, almost century be-
fore ruthless submarine warfare was
introduced by Germany, advocated a
commercial world traffic under free
tariff rules, so far as concerns the
property of individuals in time Of war
In this way, he thought, an end would
be put to the difficulties and disputes
about the maritime traffic of neutrals.
In advocating this principle he was of
the conviction that all nations gain
by the free operations of commerce.
Mill was also of the opinion that what
justifies a nation to enter a war also
determines when a war ought to
cease. He maintained that If the legit-
innate object of a war is compensa-
ton for an injury received and secur-
ity against future injury. then a sue
cessful war ought to terminate imme-
diately on the attainment Of the OBJ
ject.
