BOY Day.

Boy Scouts of Troop 5, of Pleasant
vile, will hold a tag day this Saturday,
in order to raise funds to pay the rent
on their camp, which they are conduct
ing every Saturday and Sunday at
Weymouth. This camp is on the site
of the old town of Weymouth. There
is a deserted village and the old can
non ball factory from revolutionary
times. A fine old swimming hole, only
five feet deep at the deepest point, in
which the boys are allowed to go swim
ming, only when guards are posted,
twice a day. 1t is not an open-air
camp, but a four-room cabin with a
big verandah running almost complete
ly around the house. 1t is furnished,
but is badly in need of dishes and
cooking utensils. Also a few cots are
needed. Any kindly disposed parties
who would like to donate can get in
touch with the Scoutmaster. An old
Victrola and records are also desired.
There is a large open fireplace at the
camp. The camp is visited by boys
parents every Sunday. The Mothers
Auxiliary also comes up and cleans the
cabin for the boys. Last week the
boys constructed a rustic arch and
fence in front of their cabin. The road
is plainly marked by signs from Mays
Landing to the camp.
When a Scout ONE up to you on
Saturday with a tag take it from him
and wear it all day. Give him what
ever cash you can spare. Remember
it is for a good cause. If you boy is
not a Scout and is twelve years old
see that he joins at once. Attend a
meeting and see what the boys do and
what they stand for. Get back of the
movement, one and all, with a heavy
push. w, H. Ellenberg is scoutmaster.
Meetings every Thursday evening, 7.3C
sharp, at 1872 Doughty road.

PRICE R CENTS.
COUNCIL TAKES ACTION TO
INCREASE VOTING PRECINCTS.
Three Polling Places To Be Created
In First Ward.

Regular meeting of City Council was
held last Monday evening, President
Chattle in the chair, and Councilmen
Anderson, Adams, Blaekman, James
and Peck present.
The City Engineer reported that it
would cost about $3.50 to properly
drain off the water around the proper
ty at Park avenue and Broad street.
This report brought up a similar con-
dition on Adams avenue, and a motion
prevailed that the Street Committee
confer with the Solicitor as TO the
proper means of raising the necessary
funds for same.
Article 6 of the rules submitted by
the Firemen was taken up, and after
considerable discussion was amended
and passed.
The Collector reported that Mr.. VIM.
H. Cooper had been paying taxes on a
lot enormously assessed as to number,
and he recommended that the same be
corrected. The request was granted.
The Collector also reported a claim
for a $500 tax exemption from DR.. w.
G. Rock, a war veteran. The claim
was allowed.
A motion prevailed that the Solicitor
prepare the necessary amendment to
the ordinance creating the two wards
of the city, so that the first ward will
contain three precincts, instead of two.
The First Ward voting population, es-
p~ecially the first precinct, has become
very heavy of late years, and is now
far above the number contemplated
by the law for n precinct.
A motion prevailed that the Mayor
and President of Council appoint a
committee of fifty citizens to devise
ways and mean of providing the nee
essary funds for erecting a suitable
memorial to the men who served in
the recent World War.
A motion prevailed that whenever a
pauper is to be buried by the city in
the future. that the Overseer of the
Poor be allowed a maximum of s35 for
such burial. He has been allowed,
heretofore, but ST for this work.

KENTUCKY REDS PROVED
VERY POOR OPPONENTS

What turned out to be a veritable
Comedy of Errors" upon the part of
the visiting team was endured Satur-
day, when the Pleasantville Regulars
engaged in a second encounter with
the Kentucky Reds, of Atlantic City.
The visitors were "whitewashed,"
while the locals circled the bases 16
times. 1t was a great time to fatten
batting averages and twenty safe bin
giles were recorded for the Regulars.
Johnson, of the Reds, was batted to
all sections of the field, and had a tired
bunch of horse-hide chasers to escort
home. Gegan led the batting with
four hits and other team mates fol-
lowed close behind him. Errors in the
camp of the opposition were so numer-
GUS that the scorer lost track of them
early in the "farce-comedy."
The game was a great disappoint-
ment to the spectators, many of whom
departed before the finish.

WIN. STEPHENSON ENJOYING
VOYAGE IN SOUTHERN SEAS

Mrs. John F. Stephenson has receiy-
ed a letter from her son, William, who
is sailing on the ship Rizpa with Cap
tain Bowen of Port Republic, and is
now in Buenos Aires, South America.
The letter is interesting and includes
the following:
After leaving st. Thomas we had
fine weather until the Sunday before
we pulled in here. That day may have
been a fine day at home, but it was
far from it out here. The old-timers
say it was not a very bad storm. 1t
was good enough for me although
did not get seasick, and it was all
over and forgotten by the next day. l
am having a good time and like it
pretty well by this time. l am watch
man down here, too. We pulled along
side of a coal pier bin yesterday and
anchored. This is about five miles
from B. A. The cars run there and
the fare is five pesos. That is the first
Spanish word | learned-just like the
immigrants in our country. | have
not been up in B. A. yet, but they say
it is a good clean town.
"They have a very crude way of I'M
loading coal. Buckets are lowered into
our matches, then filled by shoveling.
The crane takes the bucket and the
coal is dumped into a can. 1t will
take Is days to unload our boat. We
get ice cream about twice a week and
the eats are pretty good. Since l last
wrote we are getting better drinking
water, and get chicken every Sunday
afternoon. Tell father he missed a
good chance when he didn't hire as a
ship carpenter. Easy work and hardly
anything to do"
