POSTOFFICE HARD HIT BY THE
FLU EPIDEMIC.
Twelve Employees Are Out and No
Cal Available

The influenza epidemic raging in
Greensboro is no respector of persons
or business. 1t has fastened itself
upon the mighty as we'll as upon the
citizen of low degree. 1t has crippled
small businesses and the United
States government is not immune.
The postoffice, in fact, is about as
hard hit as any business in Greens
borO. Postmaster Cooke has II clerks
and carriers out or about 2o per cent
of his force He has no substitutes
available and the business ana the
government, at least part of it, must
go by default Mr.. Cooke has sue
ceeded thus far in maintaining once
day delivery of first class mail in
the city, but the rural routes have SUI
fered while it has not been POSSIBLE
to deliver parcel post
On route No 2, the route going out
bv the John Young place, there has
been no delivery service for two days.
Rnral Carrier Will Wharton, who is
on that routc, is i'll and no sHbstl-
tute has been found. But the Daily
News, which is also crippled by the
the postoffice and the people OF that
section and endeavored to give SER
vice. One of it's employees, Harry
Wharton, took a Daily News truck
and carried the route. Postmaster
Cooke has called for help, but netp is
hard to find.
The postoffice is not by any ~nleans
the o-ly place of business effected by
the influenza. 1t is rrobable that there
is not a business in Greensboro but

FLU STARTED IN RICHMOND.

The origin of the present epidemic
hes been traced by health authorities
to Richmond It was brought first to
Fuuuay Springs, and from there has
spread over practically the entire
state It appeared in Fuquay Springs
about three weeks ego. The disease
spread rapidly westward and IS par
ticularly violent in the western part
Of the state. Communities that sui
ed most severely in the epidemic
Of 1918 have suffered less this year

immunity to be gained in having the

Physically strong, mentally awake

Sunday was the 10th anniversary OF
the founding of scouting in this coun'
try and the scouts of High Point

Of America have asked the groWn-ups

possible to secure either new post

Pastor D. C. Cobb, of Glassboro,
takes his vacation between Sundays
this year and he has arranged some
very interesting services for the en-
tire summer, with unique themes
which are drawing large audiences.
One interesting feature is that each
person is to report at the end of Au-

cial sermon for the children each Sun
day. The one hundredth anniversary

INCREASE IN POPULATION
NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS

The National Director of the Federal
Census for 1920 has announced that
the total population of Atlantic County
is 83,8S3. This is an increase of H.
989 since the 1910 census.
The population of Atlantic City in
1910 was given as 46,150 in the FEEDER
al census return, and this year at
$4,000. The city's population in the
years increased, according to the re-
turns, approximately 5000, which
would give the increase in the county
for the same ten year period at 5000
over the 1910 returns.
The increase for the city and county
is 1877 per cent, which is below e X
p~ectation.
In the county the sections which
showed the greatest increases are the
stretch running from Absecon to Som
| ers Point, which takes in Absecon,
lPleasantville, n Nhheld, Linwood and
Somers Point, and the section near the
Camden and Gloucester borders. Ham
