1.-THE WAR BRIDE"

Twas an autumn most three years ago
This sad romance was started;
A maiden so fair with bright, pretty
hair,
From happiness then was parted.
There vas an American Aviator.
Stationed in England at this time:
One day he espied this fair maiden,
And to himself said, She's mine"a
Old Dan Cupid played frolic with
them both,
For he opened up wide the door;
That led the two hearts together,
And then he did no more.
The rest he left in the hands of fate,
And fate played a very queer game;
In a very short time the young man
asked
The girl to change her name.
Of curse she accepted and told him,
She loved him with all her heart;
But little did the lassie dream,
He did not love her from the start.
1t is now a year since their marriage,
And they have a baby boy;
At this time the father got a letter,
And him it seemed to annoy.
1t was orders from his Commander,
Ordering him back home;
So he left his wife and baby,
And sailed across the foam.
The saddest part of all is,
He had married before the war;
And now his English War Bride,
He wanted tn 500 no moro
After he reached home again.
His conscience bothered him so;
He confessed the whole sad story,
To his wife who did not know.
At first she was shocked and then she
saw,
He was sorry for all he had done;
So she got in touch with his "War
Bride,
Who had the little one.
The once fair lassie of England.
Sailed for here to make a stand;
But when she reached Hoboken,
They would not let her land.
To save their name and honor,
Her husbands brother said;
I'll marry her and take your place,
So once more to the altar she was
led.
After considering this promise,
The officials let her land;
And after thinking it over,
She agreed to give him her hand.
Now the romance is ended.
And the baby is given a name;
And this is the very queer ending,
OF fate's peculiar game.
Composed by William D. Johann.

IKE" NELSON IS IN BIG DEMAND.
Former Local Player Receives Offer
to Play in Southern League.

IKE" Nelson, the popular local out
fielder, has received many offers TO
play Southern League baseball this
coming season but the Pleasantville
lad will probably play independent ball
again this year. Nelson claims that
there is more money in this game and
he should know.
Vineland Club, which defeated some
of the best teams in the East and
played with some great pitchers as
Baumgartner, Bush and Shawkey op-
posing them on the mound, is after
Nelson. The shore boy has not decid-
ed whether to accept this offer or not
But from a reliable source it is likely
that Nelson will play with Vineland
and also sign up with Frank Poth's
reorganized Roxborough team and
play two games a week with the Phila-
delphia magnate.
Johnny Castle was after Nelson to
play for his club. Several New Eng
land Clubs were hot on the heels of
the wonderful field protector. but Mel
son declined to accept these offers.

THE OFFICIAL EXPLOITS OF THE
U-35 TO BE SHOWN AT THE
STRAND SATURDAY, MARCH 81.

Great interest is being shown in the
forthcoming presentation of "The Of
fetal Exploits of the German Subma-
rine U-35" at the Strand Theatre this
Saturday, March q. These pictures,
which are some of the most remarka-
BILE ever thrown on the screen, depict
in a vivid and terrible way the voy-
age of death of this far-famed monster
of the deep.
The Kaiser in his colossal egotism
believed that after he had won the
war it would reflect greatly to his
credit as a warrior king, to show to
the people of Germany by the way of
the screen, the remarkable achieve
ments of his pet engine of war, the
Submarine"
The "U-35" was the prize boat of
Germany's under-sea craft. She
scourged the seas and sank millions
of. tons of enemy or allied shipping,
before she was finally captured by
some remarkable team work between
Uncle Sans torpedo boat destroyers
and English battleships. Stored away
in her lockers were found these Won
derful views of her depredations on
the high seas, preserved for a showing
at some future ddIe, Wnen Germany
would rule the world. Unfortunately
for the Germans, this came TO
pass, and no better idea of the terri
BILE things that might have been in
store for the World could be given
than these pictures of piratism and
sinkings without trace" of this Ger
mar submarine.
Every true American, everyone who
has a drop of red, human blood in
their veins, should see this vivid pic
ture of the hardships and fortunes en-
dured by those who had the misfor-
tune of crossing the path of this mon
ster of the Deep-"The U-35."

THE PROHIBITION SITUATION

Now that all the States of the I'm
ion but three have ratified The Nation
Wide Prohibition Amendment submit
ted by Congress and as ought to be
expected there is general rejoicing
over the country upon so illustrious
a victory the inquiry must inevitably
arise, ''What Step Next?' 1t is well
concluded upon the part of the wiser
and better part of the population that
no retrogression must be permitted
yes, even that no thought of relin-
quishment must be entertained. There
has been a long, hard and well-fought
battle. and now that the rewards of
victory are in sight, it only remains
that a continued herOism must be
maintained to conserve what was so
nobly won. The rigid enforcement
of the prohibitOry law is needed now.
The old argument of the former foes
and lukewarm friends of prohibition
can now be tested-that no law can
be enforced without q preponderanee
of sentiment in its favor The we'll
nigh unanimous vote of Congress for
the submission of the measure and
the well-nigh unanimous vote of the
state legislatures for its ratification
bespeaks in no uncertain terms the
prepOnderance OF the public sentiment
of the country. And as in the many
years of agitation for nationwide pro-
hibition the measure was carried into
politics (wbere all good measures be-
long) so now if its successful en-
forcement can be looked for, it must
be sought through political channels
and any party that will play fast and
loose with the execution of prohibit
tion should be effectually pillored by
public sentiment at the polls. And the
eyes of other lands are upon us
see what we are going to do with a
law that as they think so ruthlessly
invades the domain of personal liber-
" and the rights of states. But we
confidently believe that good sur
prises are in store for them. And out
of il all, we all must learn that the
largest democracy is obtained, not in
being driven by the lash of party or
of custom, but in needing philanthro-
pic and Christian principles whatever
of temporary or personal loss is in
CURED. We are only in the beginning
of the harvest of gains from Nation
Wide Prohibition of the liquor traffic
and il rigid enforcement of law at
once obtains, what good the near fu-
ture holds for US, to say nothing of
remoter years, can better be imagin- |
ed than described Now for faithful !

SCRATCHING FOR THEIR FEED
GIVES HENS NEEDED EXERCISE

During the spring season fowls hav-
ing free range get abundant exercise,
but during the cold months many
hens suffer from lack of exercise.
Close confinement without exercise is
not conductive to getting the best re-
suits from a flock although the feed
provided may be the best, for idle
hens soon grow too fat to lay. It is
almost impossible to give laying hens
that are confined too much exercise.
The fowls may be encouraged to ex-
ercise in various ways, such as sus-
pending cabbage heads, beats, etc, so
that the birds have to jump for them,
and scattering grain in the litter The
litter should be from 4 to s inches
deep, and may consist of straw (eith-
er cut or whole). hay, leaves. buck
wheat hull, shredded corn fodder, or
any like convenient material. The
hens should be kept hungry enough so
that they Will work diligently all day
for the grain scattered in this litter
say poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Whenever the litter becomes damp or
soiled it must be removed and fresh
put in.
In most communities there is a
great opportunity for marketing eggs
and poultry by parcel post. Often this
plans gives better satisfaction than
the usual method.
