THE great purpose which
lay back of the war was far
h too vast a task for any one
body of men to put through to
a finish.
Our soldiers have done are
doing their part. God knows
we never wanted them to do
more.
But what of US?
Winning the war was the In
itial step toward a world peace
and prosperity of which hitherto
we had never dared to dream.
But it was only a step.
The work of the most glori-
Gus armies of all history placed
us on the threshold of an open
door. A new world of unlimited
possibilities lies beyond. They
could not bring it to us. They
could only show it to us, and its

to do it, if that were needed.
It is our task to finish this
work.
= They showed us the way and
passed on-perhaps to new
worlds to conquer. And whether
we will or not, the solemn obliga-
ton to finish their work has
fallen upon us.
"If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not slccp-though

In Flanders fields"
Your patriotism and mine was
not buried in those graves in
Flanders fields. There is still
work to do-for our country, for
ourselves, for our children. Else
the war will have failed in its
purpose = and millions of young
lives will have gone out on
vain quest.

Even Laborers Make More

Comment is made by the Association

Congress for more pay that it has been
found that common laborers, with no
mental effort required, receive higher
compensation than the average postal

that even the poorest paid skilled Ia

Jail officers at Freehold visited his

he was placed under the constant watch

Blames Pies and Movies

Pies and movies are blamed by Paige
for his part in the crime. His inordi-
nate craving for apple pies and the
motion pictures, cravings which he
has always lacked money To satisfy,
are given by him as the reason for his
part in the plot.
Assistant District Attorney Joyce, of
New York, so said after an extended
interview with Paige in his City Hall
cell.
HE told me he never got enough to
eat until Mr.. Hull raised his wages to
$40 a week" said Mr.. Joyce, as he
came from Paige's cell. HE had an
jnordinate appetite for apple pie, but
his appetite for the movies was even
greater.
Because of his desire to get money
with which to buy apple pie and to go
to the movies, Paige often talked with

UP.TO.DATE SCHOOLS
FRANKLIN AND ORLAND TOWN

The people of Franklin township
feel quite joyful over the results OF
the recent election for consolidated

consolidation and only A against the
proposal. The location for the pro-
posed new structure is central, being
neal to the Dave Sterling farm. Land
in that vicinity will be greatly en-
HANGED in value, and already, We are
told, there is q trend to higher prices.
The erection of a new modern build
ing properly equipped will naturally
serve as a community center where
lectures, farmers Institutes, religious
services, etc, can be held, thus en-
riching rural life and creating inter-
est in wider spheres of thought and
action. Better roads will result and
better instruction will be at the COM
mand of the ambitious young country
people. Well may this township re-
joice over what they have so far
achieved. The school board of Or

County superintendent Alice Ripe.
Plans for a consolidated school build
