There is a display in the west Win

WILLS PROBATED.

Among the wills recently offered for
probate at the Surrogate's office, in
Mays Landing, were those of the late
James Lewis Risley, and DR.. Henry C.
Munro. The Risley will names J. Ed
ward Ashmead, of Newark, as execu-
tor. The value of the personal estate
is $4,000 and of the real estate $4,000.
To his widow, Mary, Mr.. Risley left
100000 of his personal estate, and be-
queathed all his real estate with the
buildings thereon as well as his auto
mobile. To Estella Parsels, Melvin
Parsels, Roger A. Parsels, he left
$1,000 each. Like requests were made
to the Salem M. e. Church, Pleasant
vile; the Children's Seashore Home,
Atlantic City, and the New Jersey
Children's Home Society of New Jer-
sey. The residue of the estate goes
TO nephews and nieces, Horace Risley,
John w. Risley, Mary B. Fairbrothers
and Lavinia T. Rogers.
DR.. Munro under the provisions of
his will left 1913 acres of land in
Whitehall, Pa, to Charles Bowman

INTELLIGENT VOTING.

In a few weeks now the country
must go to the polls and chose anoth-
er set of federal lawmakers, as well
as an army of state officials. The
progress and prosperity of the land
depends much upon the decisions
made in the secrecy of the polling
booth on November Z.
Many people who speak contemptu-
ously of politicians and government,
who groan about high taxes and legis-
lative inaction, do practically nothing
to improve these conditions under
which they fret. Not merely do they
take no part in political organization,
but they won't bother to read carefully
the news of political developments,
study of which will enable them to act
intelligently in selecting public Off
Gals.
Many newspaper men used to testify
that their readers took so little inter
est in the proceedings of Congress and
their state legislature, that they found
it necessary to cut reports of these
bodies down to very small space. Then
these people who would not read polit-
zeal news, would find fault when the

ed inefficient and incompetent.
People often decide how to cast
their ballots by the current talk on the
streets. Some vote for a candidate
because his picture makes him look
like a capable fellow. Others are won
over by ardent handshakers, and think
that a genial name and the appear
ance of good fellowship are more i'm
p%ortant than business ability and
breadth of mind and experience. Then
these folks complain because our law
makers are not able to remove all the
evils from which the country may
suffer.
The country will have good govern
ment when all the people form the
habit of attentive reading of good
newspapers and magazines, so that
they understand the merits of big
questions and are well informed about
the records of the various aspirants.
The Pl~easantyille Press promises to
do it's full share to spread the infor-
nation and the sound ideas that are
the basis for intelligent voting.

ADVERTISING A HEALTH
PRESERvATlvE


Milk contests conducted by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture have been highly beneficial in a
number of western states, sufficiently
so to give the cue to local authorities
where communities are interested in
the character of their milk supply.
The movement is SO simple it can be
put into operation by the local health
boards or the authorized health doctor
of any village.
Samples of milk supplied by differ
ent dealers are taken occasionally
without warning, bacterial cougts are
taken, and the milk scores are then
made public in the columns of the
home town newspaper.
1t is found that milk dealers do not
like to be surprised and dirty milk
found on their wagons, particularly
when they know the results are to be
published.
We learn that in Long Beach, Cal,
the average bacterial count in the
first contest was 1928. In the last
contest it was down to 1888. The
milk sold figured 71.56 and after the
last contest the scale was raised to
9O.67. 1t was the same in Los Angeles
and Riverside.
1t is quite evident that as soon as
the surprise milk contests become a
recognized factor milk dealers inyari-
ably improve their milk supply.
This means much to the child life
of the nation.
The country generally would be bet
ter off If mor government money
were spent in work of this character
and less in political log rolling.
The Pleasantyille Press has persist
emily stood for the expenditure of gov
eminent monies, both locally and in
the state and nation, aimed at lower
ing the death rate.
The peoples monies should be spent
for their good. Advertising is the
answer.

MAKING PROFITS ON REAL
ESTATE.

The movement 10 induce people to
make an effort TO own their own
homes, should show them how they
can often turn a handsome profit by
buying real estate. Many houses are
sold much below their true value be-
cause they have been allowed to lapse
into an unattractive condition. They
may be substantially built, but the
lack of superficial repairs and paint
makes them look unprepossessing.
An enterprising and industrious
owner can make money on places of
that character, and there are chances
of thai kind in ~Pleasantyille. If n
is skilled with tools, he can make
many repairs for himself. Improve
ment of the lawn and setting out of
shrubs, trees, and flowers will trans
form a once shabby looking home, and
make it a nest of beauty.
The result of such an effort is com
monty to induce the neighbors to clean
UP and improve their property. Thus
streets once disorderly and uncared
for begin to take on new style and
spirit. Purchasers like to move into
such a location, and real estate own
ers find that values have enhanced
without much money being spent. If
sales are made, the gains are usually
much greater than if the money in
vested had been on interest.
In most towns there are enterpris-
ing men who have turned a handsome
profit by buying such places that sold
at low prices because of their unat-
tractive condition. Then they tuned
them up by repairs and decoration,
persuaded their neighbors to join in
the development, and lifted the loca-
ton to a better level on which prop
erty could be sold at a good profit.
But people who make such improve
usually become SO attached to
the home thus developed, into which
they have put their labor of love, that
the possession of the place means
more than any dollars they could turn
such a deal. The existence of this
spirit of development is a blessing to
a community, and will go far to at
new residents and bring in civic
advantages.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

Many young country fellows fail to
get a good rural education because
their parents can't afford the money,
and the boys don't think they can earn
ii themselves. So they may start out
farming on old fashioned lines, and in
a few years give up and say there is
no money in it.
They ought to realize that modern
agricultural colleges and vocational
schools give their fellows many chan
ces to earn the money for their cours-
es. Their students are a splendid
class of purposeful, determined boys,
who are forcing their way to achieve
ment by their own ~persevering efforts.
The fellow who really wants to make
a success of farming, and will work
and use his brains, will find wide open
doors of opportunity at any agricultur-
al college or vocational school. He
will learn the secrets of modern sci
ence that's are reyolutionizing farm in
dustry and country life.

ROADS AND RAILROADS.

The business men of large centres
long ago realized that they must have
abundant railroad facilities. They in
vested their money literally to build
railroads, even in many cases where
there was little security that these
lines would pay.
In building highways there has been
less foresight. Long after railroads
were superbly developed, highways
were in .wretched condition.
There has been too much tendency
in past years, TO require the rural dis
tricts TO build their own roads. That
policy impoverishes the large city
centres that depend upon rural pros
perity for their trade.

WARM ELECTION PROMISED
AT POINT IN NOVEMBER,

With the primary election over the
results give promise of a very inter-
esting contest in November between
several of the candidates who secured
nomination on the Republican and
Democratic tickets. Freebooter Chas.
w. Clement, one of the Republican
veterans of the Board, had a contest
with William r. Boehm for the Repub-
lican nomination for another term.
Now he will have a fight in November
with Celia Champion, who was nomi-
mated by the Democrats for Freebooter
in the Second Ward. Mrs. Champion
ran for Justice of the Peace at the last
election and vas elected.
In the First Ward there will be a
hot Freebooter fight with Allen Tall
man, the present member, running on
the Democratic ticket for another
term, and being opposed by George B.
letters, a Republican, who was one
time a member of the Board.

Board again discussed the establish

hardly likely that such a school will
be opened because of the number of
students who would have to enroll to

beautifully staged scene in which
George" elaboT etes on the celebrat-

scene n series of oriental magic is
presented which would undoubtedly
be highly praised by the great Her

Perhaps one Of the most difficult
tricks performed by George" Is

in which a ferocious lion myster-
