In Flanders Field

In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in
the sky
The larks, still bravely singing,
fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below,
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset
glow,
Loved and were loved, and now
we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we
throw
The torch; be yours to hold it
high.
If ye break faith with us who
die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies
grow
In Flanders fields.

BEAUTIFUL SERVICE
FOR EXTRA SENIORS
Appreciative Audience Lis
tens to Able Sermon De-
livered to Graduates

There was a full house at the
baccalaureate services Sunday
night, and the able and eloquent
sermon delivered by Rev. Eppard
was timely and instructive.
The class motto, Tonight we
launch, where shall we anchor"'
was the subject Of the discourse
and the speaker pointed out to
those who were launching the
needs of the commercial, industrial
and religious world and explained
to them the wrong of selfshness
and the need for a people who is
able to bury sel6shness, learn to
love it's neighbors and follow the
spirit of Christ's command con-
cerning the sin of grasping riches
TO fhe exclusion of worthier objects.
The supreme test, his topic, the
speaker pointed out, was the test
to which the young man was put
who came to Christ with the ques-
tion, "Good Master, what shall l
do to inherit eternal life?" He had
kept the commandments from his
youth, but Christ informed him
that he yet lacked one thing.
"Go," he said, "sell what thou
hast and give to the poor, and
come follow me-" This is the test
by which the present generation is
being tried, the speaker believed,
and this is why he had wondered
where they would anchor. Will
they be able to stand the test.
He reminded them that there is
butone way for the solution of the
religious situation. That men
must be too big to be small, too
generous to be little, too Christ
like to be selfish, and be able to
listen to the voice, saying, "Come,
take up thy cross and follow me. "
He closed with the following
beautiful and appropriate lines:
1'Why become a slave to chance?
n
Why be crushed by circumstance?
Rise above it and advance
Over all adversely.
You're king and can create
For yourself your own estate;
You are master of your fate;
You are free.
All of this is ancient lore,
Often has been said before,
But I'll tell it Ger and DER,
Sing it to the heart of youth.
Howsoever long It's told
IT'S lesson never old,
For it bears thread Of gold
It is truth.
Rise above the petty things
That would bind your spirit wings,
Hear the inner voice that sings
Songs Of beauty all the while.
Drive the demon Of despair
From your heart; and free and fair
Meet the broods Of grief and care
With smile.
Spite of calumny and threat,
Dare to have purpose set,
Keep it; and do not forget
You are monarch Of your own.
Dare pursue, against the stream,
Your ideal and your dream;
Keep your soul a king supreme
On his throne"

SETTLERS AT REST
Death Relieves Suffering of
Samuel Beers after Siege
at Atlantic Hospital

Samuel Beers after Siege
at Atlantic Hospital
Mr.. Samuel Beers was born in
Audubon county, March "a, 1859,
and departed this life May %,
1921, age 81 years, one month and
20 days. His death came after
prolonged illness of nine weeks fol-
lowing an operation at the Allan
tic hospital.
Mr.. Beers was united in mar
riage with Miss Ora D. Herrick,
September ii, 1881, to which un-
ion were given two children, Hom-
er l.. Beers and Mrs. Glen Scott.
Among those who remain to mourn
his departure are the immediate
members of the family just mem
toned, many other near relatives
and a great number of friends
made through an entire life lived
in a single community or County.
He bore the distinction of having
lived in Audubon county his entire
life and of being the third white
child born in Audubon County.
He united with the Evangelical
Church many years ago, of which
church he remained true and
faithful member and worker until
his strength failed him and he was
compelled to turn his labors over
to others.
He was true and devoted hus-
band and father. He loved his
children and was loved by them.
His going will be a definite loss to
many who loved him and were
loved by him. A splendid express
sion of the esteem in which he was
held was borne by the many, many
floral and postal greetings sent to
him during his last illness. &
1t seemeth such a little way to me
Across to that Strange Country,

And yet not strange for it has

As journeying friends bring distant

The seal Of death set on some we'll

new way to beat the ''jitneys" was
discovered last night, when A S. Van
,Buskirk, who stated he was the at
torney for the employees of tire Jer-
isey Central Traction Company, was
sent to the city council by that COM
pany in an effort to have the local
''city fathers" adopt drastic regu-
lations for the control of the jitneys.
Mr.. Van Buskirk stated that as bor-
ough attorney for Keyport he was
preparing a similar ordinance for
that borough and thought h a they
should be'very nearly uniform. Mr..
Van Buskirk said hat he had been
retained by the men in order to pro-
tect their jobs. That the jitneys were
cutting in so on the trolley business
that the company was taking OF
crews.
Councilman Stanton was the only
member of the council to reply. He
stated that the city was receiving ex-
cellent service at the hands of h
jitneys at the present time, not h
same with the trolley companies,
however. He told of the effort to
bring the jitneys under the Utilities
Commission and then told how h
commission had given permission. to
raise fares. skip stops and many
other things in direct violation of
the city ordinances and franchises.
TIE recommendations were not very
