4 reas nable fruGality does not mean
miserliness; that the possession of
honestly earned, sanely saved money
makes us more valuable to ourselves
and to our neighbors as citizens and
more useful, collectively, as nation.
Treasury Savings Securities take the
mortgage off the present and make
brighter the prospect of the future. If
everyone Of us during 1922 makes up
his mind or her mind to acquire
Treasury Savings Securoities-and to
keep them-this year will be a hap
pier year for Americans and a more
stable year for their country. Well
know then that we can't go broke I'M
less the United States goes broke first
and that's not probable.
Let us do this and the vendors of
worthless and fraudulent schemes of
investment will lose their main source
Of income, the fly-by-night promoter
will suffer, the bucket shopper will
feel the pinch of sudden poverty, and
the man who lives by crooked finan-
cial devices will go to and fro bemoan-
ing his fate.
Rut the rest of us will be infinitely
better off.

SENTENCE AFFIRMED.

Frankfort, Jan. 81. Although the
Incorrect use Of land" IN the indict-
ment charging Owen Walker Of Madi-

says that no objection was made to
the Indictment during the rial, and,
therefore the rights of the defendant

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Maysville Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so
Telling ones experience when 1t is for
the public good is an act Of kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by resident

PRACTICING WHAT WE PREACH.
BY IRWIN S. COBB.

Most of us are ready to preach thrift
for others. Not enough of us are will
ing to practice it on our own account.
Probably the man who first sugce ed
that the rest of the world should put
by something for rain day didn't
own an umbrella himself
Many people look on thrift as some
of us look upon a boil en- another
mans neck in the spring Of the year.
We tell him comfortingly that boil
on his neck is good thing for him
it'll purify his blood, clear his system
of poisons, make his general helth bet
ter. Later on we assure him he'll feel
ever SO much happier for having I'M
dergone the present experience. But
for all that none or us would caree tc
have that boil transferred from the
others mans neck to our neck.
In way Of speaking the same thinH
applies to the practice of rational
thrift. Too often the average Amer
lean follows THE line of least resist
ance in this matter. When times are
good he thinks he has not need to save
And when time sare bad he has moth
ing to save anyhow. Our spirit of ma
tional optimism is such that across
the fair part Of fat year we fail to
discern the creeping shadows Of lean
years coming after. The Arkansas
mountaneer who explained that he
didn't mend the hole In his roof be-
cause In stormy weather he couldn't
mend 1t and in fair weather he had nc
need to mend it because It then didn't
leak, Yves typical of whole lot Of us.
The United States Government in
carrying on its Thrift Campaign is
striving to combat this common
tendency amongst our people. The
Government, through the Treasury
Department, Is trying to show us that

OLD BRIDGE
DEFEAT SEEN
Opposition to New Borough
Points to Light Registra-

NEW BRUNSWICK. April 21.-
Residents of the borough of Sayre-
vile are freely predicting the de-
feat of the Old Bridge borough bill,
which will come up for final dispo-
sition at the referendum to be held
next Tuesday. This prediction is
based on the extremely light regis
tration record last Tuesday when at
which time only 2s9 of the voters
of the three municipalities effected
appeared at the place of registration.
Those in opposition to the measure
are reported as being very active in
getting to the polls. while those in
terested in putting the borough bill
through to completion are said to oe
in the minority.
The opposition Is mainly based on
the fact that should the new bor-
ough become a reality, the three
municipalities from which 1t will be
formed will lose valuable ratables
upon which their tax rates r bas-
ed.

at the foot of Prince Bay avenue.

have gotten away and the police
have been unable to locate the cargo
OF the truck which carried the booze
away from the dock. The whiskey Is
now at the station house and the po-
lice are investigating the matter.

n CT the booze ships supposed to
be running from the Canadian bor-
der to the Bahama Islands slipped
in from the three mile limit early in
the evening and came up the bay I'M
der the cover of the heavy gale that
was blowing during yesterday and
last night. An investigation Is be-
Ing conducted by the police here and
those men of Inspector Formosa's
staff to catch booze violators on the
island. The cargo Is believed to
have been consigned to some one on
the east sho,e of the island in the
vicinity Of Stapleton or Tottenville.
This Is the first big catch of booze
made here in some time. The men
loading the cases from the dock to
the truck are said to have been
frightened away on hearing some
one approaching.

SILK ROBBERY
CASE GOES ON
Considerable Evidence is A.
ready Taken in Big Robbery
at Metuchen

NEW BRUNSWICK. April Ell
Considerable evidence was taken in
the meauchen silk robbery case in
the county court yesterday. and the
case was continued this morning.
The state bases its hope for a con-
vistion on the fact that two of the
defendants, Charles Hillyer and
James Lundy. alias Jimmy Boston,
have turned states evidence.
John Dolan. of Philadelphia. sec
rotary of the National Motor Freight
corporation. was the first witness
called yesterday. He testified that
Harry Klingerman is the treasurer
of the corporation, and owns four
trucks which he leases out at $40.
a trip from Philadelphia to New
York. Dolan also stated that Kiln
german received 800 a week for
acting in the capacity of a convoy.
About the time of the holdup the
witness said, the company learned
that Klingerman was not completely
carrying out his convoy duties.
Daniel Brown of New York. driv-
err of n of the trucks which was
held up. told Of his activities from
the time he left Philadelphia which
included a stop at Trenton. this city
and Metuchen. Alex Klingerman
was in charge of the other truck in
the convoy that night and in Me-
tuchen, it is alleged, Klingerman
hurried Brown along claiming that
he had an engagement and that
Klingerman in the first truck led him
over the high bridge route instead
of over the Essex avenue route as
usual, on the night of the holdup.
Brown told of the holdup. his be-
ing ordered from the truck. his head
covered with a bag and finally of
his being tied to a tree. His helper,
Frank Rosett. told a similar story.
Charles Hillyer. of New York, m
of the men who turned states evil
dence. informed the court that the
holdup had been arranged between
Lundy, Richardson and himself. His
testimony does not implicate Kiln
german. Chief OF Police Hutchin-
son of Metuchen and County Detec-
tive Ferd David informed the court
of their findings. and the county de-
tective also told OF the investiga-
ton which resulted in the loot be-
