Big Night With The Moose

Wilmington Lodge, No. 1874, Loyal
Order of Moose, surprised Penns
Grove Lodge of Moose with their visit
on Wednesday evening, coming over
$50 strong with their own band, or
chestra and staff of entertainers. The
local members provided a nice lunch
con and refreshments. Among the
sneakers were Maurice E. Walsh, Die
tator; Mr.. Lane, Past Dictator; Jos.
McVeigh, Secretary and several others
from Wilmington lodge. The follow
ing members from Penns Grove lodge
also spoke: Robert j. Upper Dicta-
tor; David NJ. Austin, Prelate; C. E.
Kinda, Secretary; Louis Rathsmill
Treasurer; Carl Rockhill, William H.
Paris and DR.. Harry Blitzstein.
Messrs. Springer, Smith, Brennan
and Wright furnished the entertain
ment under supervision of Nh. Lane.
The address given by the Dictator
of Wilmington Lodge, Bro. Maurice
E. Walsh, was remarkable. He is a
wonderful speaker and with it has the
sincerity which comes from the heart.
His talk was on Moosheart, Moose
dom's shrine of childhood, where
there are now $40 children being
cared for and educated by the Moose.
He touched on the beginning of the
order II years ago when it numbered
246, also on the building of Moose
heart, which is but 7 years ago. To-
dav there are 1875 buildings and an in
vestment of over S3,000,000. He
cited cases where children of deceased
members were taken to Mooseheart
and what a few years meant in their
life. how they appreciated what their
foster father members of Moose Lodge
were doing for them. His talk was
so inspiring, so sincere, so true to life,
one could sit back in his chair and al
most see M~ooseheart, the children
there, hundreds of them and the very
n Bro. Walsh was talking about.
There was hardly a dry eye in his au-
dience of over $50 members of the or
der. How wonderful Mooseheart
really is none appreciated except
those who had been there, until they
heard Mr.. Walsh.
Wilmington Lodge has started a
convention club which a good many
members of Penns Grove Lodge have
also Joined to make the trip to see
Mooseheart next year. Wilmington
Lodge will go with its band and at
least 200 members.
New Jersey state Lodge have pledg-
ed themselves to build at Mooseheart
a State Dormitory. This will cost
about 100000. Of this Penns Grove
Lodge is to pay $500.

The Operators tried to come back in
the same inning but clever fielding by
Riley and Hirst stopped short any
chances at scoring. Robinson singled
and Kille tried a sacrifice bunt to adj
vance him to second. The first at
tempt rolled foul. On the second at
tempt Riley had gotten the jump on
the ball and was half way up first
base line waiting for the ball which
was a foul fly. He caught it and
threw to Hirst, covering first base,
and put Robinson out by a close de-
cision.
Both sides continued to get men on
base and threaten to score until the
very end of the game, but the En-
gineers had an advantage of the mer-
est trifle and used it. They felded
everything whether in reach or not.
Ernshaw and Summerill each caught
a long fly which would ordinarily have
meant safe hits good for several
bases.

A Sem Feinner Here

An Irish Sem Feinner wanted by
the British Government for treason,
accompanied by an Irish hyphen nam
ed O'Brien, of Jersey City, landed in
Penns Grove last Sunday night and
held forth in Broad Theatre before a
small audience. He would have the
ignorant and credulous believe that it
was the Irish green f1aggers who won
the American Revolution, when such
were as scarce as hens teeth in the
colonies. How do we know.
Well, the ancestors of the editor of
the Penns Grove Record came here
about 200 years ago from near Dublin,
Ireland and we know as much about
tradition from which that class of
Irish raised on superstition get their
politics, as any n around here. 1t
was the orange flag Irish who settled
here that did the fighting.
The green-faggers resisted con,
scription during the World War and
the British Government had to keep
an army in Ireland to keep the Irish
traitors from joining the Germans.
Otherwise that British army would
have been in France fighting where
Uncle Sans boys We're and where
those Irish traitors should have been.
The Sem Feinner wanted to arouse
sympathy for one McSweney, mayor
of Dublin, who is in prison for trea-
son and on a hunger strike. If Nc
sweeney does not want to eat there is
more for other people.
If those Sem Feinners (all for
themselves) do not like Ireland let
them come to America. If they viii
leave their old-world superstitions and
traditions behind they may become
civilized Americans, at least their chill
dren will. The editor of the Record
knows from family experience.

How To Improve Your Home Town
Stores

The retail stores of a community
are the means by which the inhabi-
tants get the material benefits of mod
ern civilization. A town without good
stores fails to share the marvellous
progress of these wonderful days. 1t
it not equipped on a twentieth century
basis.
The way to get good stores, is to
encourage the merchants to expand
and develop their services. And the
way to give them this encouragement,
is to buy all possible supplies at home:
If any line or article can be found
which they do not keep let them or
der it for you. They will give you the
benefit of their expert purchasing
ability.
A town in which the people are
loval to the home stores, is a town
where the merchants are alert, enter
prising, ambitious for expansion, and
confident that their enterprise will be
supported and rewarded. In short, it
is an advancing town.
