spurned as an evil greater than that of typhus
which had decimated it's population.
Throughout the war, says the correspondent,
Serbia had to depend on other countries for
rations, but today her stock of wheat is so great
that the population can subsist white bread
and cake and still have surplus to feed less
fortunate countrie. A pound loaf of bread costs
three cents anywhere in the kingdom, says the
correspondent.
The whole world rejoices over this condition.
Only few years ago we were sending medical
units to Serbia to wipe out typhus, and were
shipping food to feed its starving popuace
Thanks to the educational work Of the doctors
and nurses, the population has learned how to
live intelligently, so that typhus is unknown
there today. And thanks to their own energy
and enterprise the Serbians have garnered one
one of the largest crops in their history.
Everywhere one sees great abundance in all
the necessaries of life, happiness and health
among the people, and definite effort at recon-
structing the country" says the correspondent.
Serbia has pointed the way for other nations
of central Europe and the Balkan region.
Theories will not reconstruct country, but hard
work and enterprise will accomplish miracles of
regeneration even in our own day.
Russa's deluded minority, which is holding
that country in an economic thraldOm worse
worse than the most abject slavery, should find
an object lesson in little Serbia. American gen
crosby is keeping alive thousands in that dis
tressed country, but if the Russians will not
accept our kindness as an impetus to work out
their own salvation, all efforts will be vain
and futile.
Men can subsist and nations live only by the
efforts of their hands. Work is the price of our
existence If we try to substitute an economic
illusion for work, we are cheating no one but
ourselves and are paving the way for starvation
and death.

Memories Of Old Days

With the statement, I'm glad to be
back" Robert Lyons. the 16-year-old
son of the Rev. S. r. Lyons, pastor OF
the Reid Memorial church, flung him
self into his fathers arms upon his
arrival in the city after having been
on a q months glcbe-trotting trip.
Lyons arrived in Baltimore from
Liverpool and Immediately caught the
first train for Richmond. The steamer
upon which Lyons secured passage
from Liverpool, experienced consider
able rough weather and consequently

He is a great-grandson of Jerome Bon
aparte, king of Westphalia, who was
the youngest brother of the great Ma
poleon. On his mothers side he is
grandson of Daniel Webster. Charles
J. Bonaparte, who was in Roosevelts
cabinet. is an uncle. Mr.. Bonaparte's
father made his home in France, and
was q soldier in the army of Napo-
leon III.
Being king of Albania is a trying
task. The Albanians do not take
kindly to centralized government OF
any kind, and they do not think much
of kings. Mr.. Bonaparte frankly says
that the work does not appeal to him.
Still. he has not definitely refused.
The great grandson of the picturesque
Jerome and beautiful Betsy Patterson
is not altogether averse to founding
a new Bonaparte dynasty.

About fifteen years ago the voters
in Swedesboro had several elections
before about $4,000 were voted to
build new stone school house. 1t
was thought ample for a generation,
vet outside rooms have been needed
for some years past. For year past
the minds of the voters have been
perturbed over the proposal to erect
another school house at an expense
of $150,000.
Last Monday night the proposition
was carried practically without oppo-
sition by vote of 12O for to .
against.
The building will be erected on the
new eight-acre lot in South SWedess-
boro. at the top of the hill, in what IS
known as BattentoWn. The approp1-
alton is S150,O00, and includes cost OF
building and equipment.
The Board intends to equlpt the
building in the most approved manner
and to have an athletic field with a
track and every convenience for ath-
letics.
Swedesboro has had a two-year
high school course for many years,
the students being sent to Woodbury.
or Woodstown for the last two years
Of the high school course. When the
new building is in use, the entire four
wear course will be given IN SWedeS-
