PROFESSIONAL REFORMERS and
BOOTLEGGERS

Professional reformers and boot
lcggers are the chief defenders and
beneficiaries of the Van Moss dry
enforcement act, Robertson S. Ward,
of Newark, president of the New Jer-
sey Division, Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, asserts in
letter to Samuel Wilson, assistant
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League.
Mr.. Wilson wrote to Mr.. Ward TAX
ing exception to arguments advanced
in a circular sent out by the associa-
ton declared that the trial-without-
jury feature of the law was a menace
to no one but bootlegger and vouch-
safed the opinion that it was fear
that bootleggers would be brought to
justice rather than that citizens
would be subjected to injustice that
actuated the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment.
In reply, Mr.. Ward wrote, in part,
as follows:
"Your zeal led you to an unfortun-
ate allusion when you remarked you
thought it was the fear of justice
rather than injustice for the bootleg
ger that caused the Association
Against the Prohibition AmendmeM
to denounce the Van Ness act fdf
denying the right of jury trial.
My dear Sir, there are just two
classes of people in New Jersey, of
those who realize how the law works,
who favor the Van Ness act and pro-
hibition. Both classes are actuated by
the natural desire to making living.
They are the professional reformers,
such as paid employees of the Anti
Saloon League, and the bootleggers,
themselves.

SOMEBODY'S ASLEEP AT THE
SWITCH.
SWITCH.

Economic conditions are changing
rapidly. The world war upset the bal
ance. In every industry readjustment
is the order of the day.
This is particularly true of our
great food industry. Conditions be-
yond the control of Individual manu-
facturers have forced food prices up
and up until the public is in a state
of continued protest.
1t has become a period when every
progressive step that spells ultimate
economy to the consumer must be
taken by the wise manufacturer. Not
only does public welfare demand it,
but the future of his business organ
ization depends upon a degree of
alertness on his part to meet I'M
precedented conditions.
The package is one detail where ex-
cesslve cost can be reduced. The small,
costly, fancy packages represent a
needless expense both to manufac-
turer and consumer Foot stuffs can
be sold cheaper if sold in larger, more
permanent, more economical contain
ers.
The wooden barrel and wooden key
are the natural, time-dried contain
ers to which to turn for solution
of this worldwide problem.
The public appetite for the gaudy,
wasteful small package, at the drug
price, is about appeased.
1t is time for the smart manufac-
turer to capitalize the biggest demand
that has ever existed.
THE DEMAND FOR GOODS IN
BULK AT A SANE PRICE.

Isn't there a room somewhere near
the back door which could be CONVEX
ted into an entry washroom for the
men and children when they come in
out of the dirt? Perhaps this could
be used for laundry to, leaving the
kitchen free for cooking and canning.

"The first line of defense of the re-

and anarchy will die of malnutrition."

Genius. in canning as in any line
of endeavor, is simply the ability to
take infinite pains. Use clean, fresh
materials, perfect containers, good
new rubber rings. Heat long enough
to insure preservation and alright

AMERICAN
@lI-I:GI()|l@!

Two hundred and fifty members
of the American Legion, headed by
Franklin D'Olier, former national
commander, and representing every
state and every branch of service, will
sail for France August on a pill
grimage to the former battle zone
of the world war.
The pilgrimage is at the instance
of President Millerand, who on be-
half of the French Government, invit-
ed the American Legion to send
representative delegation of former
service men to attend the unwilling
of the F'lirey monument and to par
ticipate in series of events planned
especially for the Americans.
The Flirey monument at lFlirey,
France, is a tribute of the citizens
of that town and Lorraine to the val
or of the American troops who de-
livered their soil from German oc-
cupation. Flirey is in the old Toul
sector and once was the regimental
headquarters of several American di-
visions.
A replica of the Flirey monument
was presented recently to President
Harding by Ambassador Jusserand,
who at the same time transmitted
President Millerand's invitation to the
American Legion through its nation
al commander, John G. Emery. Be-
cause of stress of Legion matters in
this country, Mn. Emery will not go
to France with the Pilgrimage, hav-
ing selected Mr. D'Olier for the lead
ership.

and then abruptly died and the only

that some unheard-of incident had oc-
Cured to destroy his fear of men. II
would mean that ne had knowingly set
upon her trail and was hunting her
with all the age-old remorselessness
that is the code Of the mountains.
For little while all was silence.
Then ont of the hush the thickets srd-
denly crashed and shook on the oppo-
site side Of the trail. She fired blind
ly into the thicket. Then she caught
herself with n sob But two shells

The hair went straight on his shoul-

running cold an instant before from
fear, made n great leap in his veins.
A picture came in his dark mind the
chase for deer when the moon had

leap he had made There had been

madness and the eSultation of the kill.
or course there had been terror first.
hut the terror had soon departed and
left something lying warm and still

that walked his trail in front-game
that died easily and yet, in vague

noblest game Of all. II was living

sudden violence of his hunting-mad-
ness. He had tasted this blood once,
and II could never he forgotten. The
flame leaped in his eyes. And then he
began the stalk.
A cougar, trying TO creep silently

simply steals, as a serpent steals

found. after few minutes OF silent
creeping through the thickets, that he
had lost distance. Evidently this
game did not feed slowly. like the
deer. II was 10 he a chase. then.
Again he trotted within one hundred
feet Of the girl.
Three times more he tried TO stalk
before he finally gave II up altogether.
This game was like the porcuplne--
simply 10 he chased down and taken.
and In the ease of all animals that
nunt their game by overtaking IL,
there was no longer any occasion for
