November IL, as the day when New

tice which virtually ended the late
a The executive proclaimed Mon

In a proclamation setting the date,
the governor said:
when, on November II, 1918, the
glad tidings were spread that an
armistice had been signed and that
the gigantic struggle on the battle
fields of Europe was ended, our
hearts were filled with joy and
thankfulness and the nation was
proud of the heroic deeds of the men
of our Army and Navy who had par
ticipated in the strife or who had
served those in the fore front of the
battle from behind the lines. Our
feelings of patriotism were intense
and expressions Of joy were
widespread. 1t the same time, deep
in our hearts there was sorrow for
those who had given up tl.eir lives
for the cause, or who had suffered
in body or in mind.
ut is fitting that events such as
these should be kept in lasting mem
ory-stimulating our patriotism and
increasing our love of country, and
keeping fresh in our memories the
bravery and s~elf-sacriice of those
who participated in the World War.
Therefore, 1, George S. Silzer,
governor of New Jersey, by virtue of
the power conferred by Chapter 1873,
of the Laws of 1921, do hereby de-
clare that as Armistice Day falls on
Sunday, the day be celebrated on
Monday, November ~, and hat the
day be observed with fitting exercises
and memorial services. and that two
minutes silence be observed by all
of the people of the state on Sunday,
November IL, at the eleventh hour
of that day, to perpetuate a custom
now being observed in many parts
Of the world"

commended by those who have been bene-
fitted. to those who are in need Of 1t.
A prominent druggist says Take for ex-
ample DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a prep
aration I have sold for many years and
never hesitate to recommend. for in al
most every case 1t shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
Mo other kidney remedy has so large a

many people claim. that 1t fulfils almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments. c%orrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

TROLLEY BUSES
: SHOW DEFICIT
Report Read of Operation of
TraCkIess System on
Staten Island

TOTTENVILLE, Nov. 8.-The
trackless trolley system on Staten
Island came in for some hard knocks
Ia a report given at a meeting of the
South Shore Protective Association
held on Monday night at st. Paul's
Methodist church lecture room. The
report was given by the chairman
of the trackless trolley committee of
the transportation committee of the
association. While a great deficit
was shown on the three lines of h
system on the island the report
shows a striking increase in real es-
tate valuation along the various lines
particularly along the Arthur XIII
road from Richmond to Tottenvllle.
Since the line was started a year
ago on November 4. by Mayor Hylan
there have been many new buildings,
Asueh as stores, dwellings and gar
48#es built along the Arthur Kill road
%8hd many properties have been OPP
ened up for building purposes which
otherwise would have still remained
woodland. The report of the detclt
is based on the number of passen-
gers carried on the three lines be-
tween the first of January and the
first of June this year. Based on
the number of passengers paying the
five cent fare at the present time
there is no possibility that the line
will pay until the people use the
trolleys more to make them pay ana
to keep the lines in operation on the
island.
Commissioner Grover Whalen of
the department of plants and struc-
lures of the city of New York re-
Gently succeeded in securing an ap-
preparation of $4,000 from the city
of New York to keep the lines open
with an idea that they will be sell
supporting within a short time. One
of the worst indictments heard
against the system was mad by the
trackless trolley committee chair
man was the long wait for cars on
the line. He said that many times
he had to wait as long as fifteen min
utes when a car should have been
along and then he had walked TO
his destination before the car made
it's appearance. All this the chair
mar said tended to make a loss for
the city.
