Grand Army Ended

For the first time in forty years
there will be no Memorial Day exer-
cises in Penns Grove under the u.s.
pices of veterans of the Civil War.
Acton Post, No. SO, Grand Army of
the Republic was instituted November
9Th, 1879, with 81 members. The only
one of the charter members now living
is Isaac P. Simkins. The few mem
bers gave up the Post organization in
April as there were only five living
here. They are Samuel M. Layman,
commander; Capt. Samuel M. Denny,
vice commander; Isaac P. Simkins, adj
jutant; John Giblin, officer of the day,
and David Bowen. Other living mem
bers are William H. Peterson, Salem;
Charles Dolbow, Darien, Ca; P. H. T.
Wyatt, Philadelphia; Edw. H. Green,
Woodbury..
There are two or three veterans Of
the civil war residing in Penns Grove,
who came recently.
There use to be a large and active
Camp of the Sons of Veterans, named
for Mr.. Green, but there have been so
many diversions that few took active
interest in the past two years. Con-
sequently there will be no Memorial
Day exercises on Monday, altho a few
veterans will visit the graves of their
comrades on Monday and put flags and
flowers on them.
1t has always been the principles of
the G. A. R. for the members to at
tend divine services ON the Sunday of
Memorial Day or before. When it
came on Sunday the day was observed
on Monday.
The Veterans of the three wars and
patriotic societies will attend divine
services in st. Paul's Church on Sun
day evening.

Tax Paying Time

If you do not pay half your tax by
June 1st you will be delinquent. The
is needed to pay public debts.
Where does the money go
In Penns Grove the rate on every
500 of assessed value is 1851. Of
this 10 cents goes to pay State road
tax, 1876 cents is State school tax,
which pays teachers salaries; 69.5
cents goes to pay the expenses OF
County Courts, roads and bridges. The
Borough School tax is 66 cents, which
goes to pay for the maintenance of the
school house, janitor, coal, books and
make up the teachers salaries:
The Borough tax is S1.82. This goes
to pay the marshals, street supervisor
and workmen, street improvements,
lookup and fire department.
There is where your taxes go.

Boy Scouts
National Campaign
A National Appeal For Members,
Associate Helpers and
Support
To The Mothers and Fathers
of American Boys:

of American Boys:
The Congress of the United States,
recognizing the value of proper train
ing of American boyhood, granted a
special charter for the organization of
the Boy Scouts of America. This or
ganization now embraces 375,0 900
splendid American boys; but this is a
very small portion of the 10000, 900
American boys between the ages of
Twelve and twenty-one who ought to
be given the benefit of Boy Scout dis
cipiine training and practice.
The future of the Nation depends
of course, upon it's youth. The fathers
and mothers of American boys will be
gravely derelict in parental duty and
in National obligation if they fail to
give their hearty support, moral and
financial, to this great American Boy
Scout movement. Not only is every
Boy Scout given useful knowledge and
training which equip him better for
the battle of life itself but there are
lnculcated in him the duties, obliga-
lions, ideals and higher conceptions of
American citizenship.
Each year the Boy Scout movement
ID bulItlIlS Ill bllOQodllQS vi CIV OOyO
and creating the finest type of future
American patriots. No cause should
appeal more strongly to the mothers
and fathers of America than the Boy
Scout cause.
The Boy Scouts raised several hun
bred million dollars in the Liberty
Loan and War Savings Stamps cam
paign. They did splendid work for
The Red Cross in its several National
campaigns. They served the Govern
ment in many other effective ways
during the great world war. 1t is an
organization of gallant patriots and
deserves the encouragement and sup
port of the Nation.
The week beginning June 9Th and
ending June 18th has been set apart
as Boy Scout Week for the purpose of
charging and strengthening the Boy
Scout organization. Associate MEM
bership in the Boy Scout organization
will be offered to the mothers and
fathers of American boys and to other
adult American citizens. This, if sue
cessful, will provide a supporting
adult organization to the Boy Scouts
of America which will assure the en-
larged usefulness ana effectiveness VI
the Boy Scout movement. Surely
there are five million American men
nd women who are willing to con-
tribute a small sum to put the Boy
Scout organization on a strong and
permanent basis which will assure the
continuous training of the youth OF
America in the finer conceptions
of citizenship in the greatest democ-
racy on earth.
This worthy cause stands alongside
the Red Cross and other humanitarian
organizations which have the generous
support of the American people. In
the name of Americas best boyhood,
beg Americas manhood and woman
hood to help.

Critics Pan "Babe''
Adams and His Age

Manager George Gibson. OF the
Pirates Is not usually given TO SER
Ious con sidcration OF the psycholo-
gical stun. because he believes much
OF II is pure bunk, but "Gibby" Is
satisfied that the occult matter has
worked on Pitcher Babe Adams.
and will probably serve to make him
one OF the real topnotch hurlers OF
the National League this season.
Gibson says critics generally have
been putting Adams on the pan be-
cause he Is attempting a comeback
in his thirty seventh year. Adams
will be 81 years old on May Is. This
criticism of 1t caustic-which
has been directed toward Adams, has
served to make the veteran finger
sore, but at the same time fill him
with a determination to show the
weisen heimers they do not know their
subject
AS a meter of fact, Adams is not
too old to make good. He is but
eleven months older than Eddie
Cicotte, OF the Chicago White Sox.
and is some years younger than the
famous Cy Young. when that hurler
laid down his tools at the age Of As.
Adams is enc OF the oldest hurlers
in the big show this year. however.

fairly He believes the writer's should
wait until they see Just what Adams
does WHEN the campaign gets under
way in earnest.
Adams calls attention to the fact
that Eddie Plank remained in the
majors until he was 42, and at the
age Of 81 years, had one of the best
seasons of his career, turning in
twenty-six victories and but six de-
feats. Baseball at present has many
