LEARNED LESSON OF THRIFT
Boys and Girls Of New Jersey Town
Have Made Record Of Which
They Are Proud.

If there has been less talk of the
servant problem in Bridgeton, New
Jersey, than elsewhere. it is quite ex-
plainable. Not to be outdone by their
European sisters and brothers in mat
tiers of thrift and industry, 25 young
sters in that town have invested $1,000
in United States thrift stamps this
year, thanks to their W hard work.
Boys and girls alike have welcomed
opportunities of doing r%emunerative
d~ishwashing, sweeping, busting. store
clerking, baby-minding, %errand-run-
ming. etc. with the goal Of economy
symbolized by government stamps
ahead of them. The more ambitious
have undertaken cutting weeds, carry
ing coal, sitting ashes. selling papers,
raising chickens, cleaning pavements.
and some have e o prizes to add
to their savings. Having found that
time can be converted into money it is
doubtful whether these boy. viii! again
find the street corner a worthwhile
place for spending idle hours, or the
girls be content to waste periods in
porch chatter.

threatened within him. 1t was both a
relief and an agony to know that she
did not love the prince. Levington's
personal state was sunk deeper when
he recalled that he vas himself a pris-

Now the withered and double
scared Chinese servant entered the
room, and at his heels came four of
the huge soldiers. the same who had
ridden down the white mcn in the
ravine, and who also had appeared
against them before the prince. Their
swords dangled and chinked. Their
boots were free from dust, and the
cloaks upon their high shoulders were

NOBLE RELICS OF THE PAST
T%riumphaI Arch Of Titus, at Rome,

The triumphal arch of Titus in
Rome was built in 20 A. D., to COM
memorate the defeat Of he Jews. and

after his death. 1t is adorned with fine
sculptures in relief. On the frieze out
side is a sacrifcial procession and on
the inner side Titus is seen :rowned

Roma. On mother part of the arch is
a triumphal procession of Jews. the
Table of Shew Bread and the seven
branched candlestick. In the center
of the vallting the consecrated emper-
or is seen being carried to heaven by
an eagle.
In 1882 the arch was a set of ruins,
and some of the medieval additions
we're removed and it was partly recon-
structed. The colosseum, with seats
for $4,000 spectators, originally called
the Flavian amphithcater, was COM

During his trip to South America
recently, Don Jaime was received
at the Spanish embassy in Bogota,

that time that there was no signlll-

being merely a result of the close
relations existing between Colom-

HISTORY OF THE LOCAL
POST AMERICAN LEGION

George X. Anderson Post of the
American Legion, was organized Octo-
Der 18th. 1919, by 32 ex-service men
of Carter county, and was the sixty
fifth post of the legion formed in the
state. From such a small group of
32. 1t has grown to a membership
of over four hundred and the fourth
largest post in the state.
1t was named in honor of Lieut..
George r. Anderson, who was one of
the first men. if not the first, from
Ardmore to give up his life in defense
of his country in the World War.
Lieutenant Anderson was killed by
shell fire during the second battle
of the Marne, in July, 1913
The first officers of the post were
H. Il. Fell, post commander; X. o..
Early, vice post commander; Ezra
Dyer, adjutant; and o. w. DeVeny,
finance officer The task of prelimi-
nary organization and the strength
ening of the post in the matter Of
numbers fell upon these men. Sew
eral entertainments and membership
drives increased the first small group
to large body Of active workers, and
made possible the later successes.
In the summer of 1920 a post was
organized at Healdton to take care
of the men in the western portion
of the county, and the two posts
together comprise the large portion
of all the ex-service men of Carter
county.
Having gone on record as opposed
