wonderful work in New York and
stopped the fraud then existing ia
granting permits to fake wholesale
druggists and to rid the state OF en-
forcement agents foisted upon the
department by politicians. One Sena~
tor was unusually active in getting en-
forcement jobs for men wholly untitled
for such positions"
He was asked If he believed tha.
prohibition had increased the use Of
narcotic drugs, and he said that it had
had had greater increase in tbs drug
traffic than had the United States. He
said that some one within the prohi-
bition organization had been clipping
off" places about to be raided.
Director Day, when informed that
Superintendent Anderson had indorscd
him, thanked him for the compliment
and he could only say that the State
Prohibition Department was getting
under way and was running very
smoothly.
Local Legislation Sought
Regarding its proposed submitting Of
ordinances to be passed by town boards
to support the national and state liquor
laws the Anti-Saloon League issued a
statement which reads:
Inc passage OF Sucn Legislation does
not change the status of any city,
county or subdivision of the state until
1t has acted for itself, but merely gives
1t the opportunity to assume additional
and direct local responsibility in CON
nection with the enforcement OF state
and national prohibition.
This legislation was drafted by
Edgar Truman Bracket. The league
will make every effort to obtain tho
passage Of the enabling Legislation at
the conlno scssion. However, it the
Legislature should refuse, and thereby
hand this proposition back as an acute
maaior issue. in the coming fall cam
paign, the league will continue to press
it until such legislation is enacted, re-
gardiess OF how long it takes or how
much it may disturb the political sit
cation.
Further, It will do the vets no good
to block these bills in order to prevent
immediate agitation in the several
communities. for the league will pro-
pose to the people of every city, village
and town that they proceed at once TO
arouse sentiment to insist upon the
passage OF an official resolution bv the
proper local board urging the Lesis-
lature 10 pass such enabling leglsIa-
tion
"While request that power tn pass
ordinances be given county boards is
not now contemplated, they can pass
resolutions. Any delay will simply
give the league d perpetual ilnpreena-

Stop for a Moment

to think Of the old store and con-
trast it with the present one.
1t has been an all controlling
idea with us from the begin
ming that if we could assemble
under one spacious roof whatever
would best serve our patrons it
would naturally follow to be for
our own interest also.
In ones home hundreds OF small
things that have crept into it
to make it what it is came gradu-
ally, one by one, and day by day,
out Of the mind and heart Of the
house mother whose dear hands
have made it to be the best place
on earth to you.
Just SO this Store has come to
be what it is.
Sometimes it is harder to do
little, almost insignificant things
than it is to do the bigger things,
but somehow they often add much
to our satisfaction.

From this direction came that mag
nifcent blast which, driving u sails
and our flags, carried them forward in
an irresistible assault, to that mo-
ment on November Il, when the
enemy cried Halt! Enough Yes!
Our flags blending with each other,
we forged rasolutely ahead, driven
by that impulse not only of soldiers
who felt themselves supported by the
organization behind them, but above
all, by their faith, their religious be-
lief and their absolute self-sacritice.
Then. let me, gentlemen attribute
a great part of our success to you, as
much in the defensive as in the often
sive by that support which you gave
us, and because you sheltered all that
work in the shadow of the finest OF
ideals, the principle of unselish ser

JUNIOR AGRICULTURE CLUES
Bows and Girls Have Won Prizes For
Best Work on Farms

Best Work on Farms
Comparatively few people in Salem
County need now be told that the
rural boys and girls have been, during
the past season, up and doing. The
hundreds of people who visited the
County Exhibit and Fair at Quinton,
on September 18th, are thoroughly
convinced of the magnitude Of the
benefits accruing to Salem County as
a result of club work.
1t was remarked by several men
who had only a day or two previous
visited the much Wanted Cape May
County Fair that the Salem County
Club Fair far outshone the Cape May
event both in size and quality.
At the time of this Fair, prizes were
given for various exhibits by club
members. There remained the award
ing of prizes for achievement covering
the entire season.
December 1st marked the closing
of the current club year. Over 100
boys and girls completed the season
with great credit to themselves and
to the County. Out of this number
a few who had achieved noteworthy
success and were considered to have
excelled in their projects have been
awarded special honors.
In every organized club where a
N.4,1aha, xrvnc 7 1ffJOInnflX hncnTN1np
one member was awarded the cham
pionship of that club. In every pro
ject one member was awarded a
championship of the entire county.
The highest honor among the girls,
in the county, is the championship of
all Home Economics Projects, and
among the boys, the County Cham
pionship of all Agriculture Projects.
Following are the winners of the
above honors:
Canning Club-Club Champions,
Elmer, Elizabeth Schneider; Allo-
way, Anna Magee; Monroeville, Anna

both in industrial ceuters and on the
fields, where the army encamped
were the new wonders in social life
the like never before given, and
the like benefits never before received
by the workers as we'll as the fighters.
The y hut at Camp No. 2, at the
Powder Works, CarneyS Point, was
the social center for the homeless
men when off duty. There were warm
rooms for reading, writing, playing
pool. rolling ten pins and for exercise.
In the gymnasium, which seated 500
social, religious and educational meet
ings we're held and moving pictures
We're given.
A like place was also constructed
for foreigners of great benefit to
w~ayfaring strangers. The cost for
one year was from one to five days
labor, the cheapest investment ever
given.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has been continued
since the war in the building used for
an eating house for women at the
close of the war in 1918. 1t is located
between the Permanent Village and
the river and is the social center for
all the folks in Carneys Point. In the
drive for membership three months
ago over 700 associate members paid
IS in dues which will provide for
maintenance and entertainment while
the dupont Company provides the
building as their donation for the
social welfare of their workmen and
others who wish to avail themselves
of the social center.
Any mar of good moral character
may become a member of the Y. M.
C. A. All the officers are members
of an Evangelical Christian Church.
Since the great benefit of the Y. NJ.
c. A. huts were realized by the indus
trial companies in this country, they
have been introduced in France and
Italy in industrial centers since the
war.
1t was during the war their great
benefit was realized by the soldiers
when they were given leave from the
battlefelds. In the drive for funds
a hundred million dollars were raised.
There were erected 1900 huts at an
average cost of $62,500 each. Be
sides the club life given, there were
entertainments ana dlulellCS gwen

we have a great country here and it is
our country-it belongs to US. We
expect to live here the balance OF our

to live here. Then, why not have a

a decent place to live and raise our

forget our patriotism and allow the

we went and made every sacrifice for
tie enforcement of law three thous-
and miles from here. So. then, urge
u,on you, let's turn to our duty with
he same love of country that we eX-
hibited when we were called upon to
defend OILY nation and enforce the laws
Of the world.
Now the duty that you ai'c to per-
form, Mr.. Foreman and Gentlemen,
you are not to be paid for. The lit
tie that you get here is not to COM

YOU are to do this year is work

BIBLE CLASS BANQUETS.
Young Men, Laymen and Invited
Guests Enjoy the Occasion.

The Young Mems Bible class of the
Presbyterian church here gave bar
becue and fish supper Friday night
tc the laymen and members of the
church and a number of invited
guests. The supper was served in
the Sunday school room. 1t was at
tended by about 200 persons. The
program consisted chiefly of short
talks by the delegates who represent
ed the Bible class and Laymen of the
church at the laymen's convention of
the Southern Presbyterian church at
Greenville recently. They told their
experiences, what they heard, and
what they did on the trip. A good
deal of humor was injected into the
occasion by the speakers. The Rev.
j w. Davis, pastor of the church, was
tcastmaster. The speakers were Da-
vid Epps, L. R. Mcintosh, W. H. Carr,
and Thomas McCutchen. The Hon. P.
H. Stoll, was called upon by the
POSTMASTER and responded with a
most appropriate little speech, which
he prefaced by joke which lead hirl
to say. that he nor the devil himself
didn't know what he was going to say.
Mr.. Leroy Lee who was on the pro-
gram for a talk, having been one o.
the laymen who attended the Green
Vile convention, was detained m
Charleston on legal business.
