FARM HOUSE BURNED

The farm house on the old Frank
Summenll farm, near the forked bick.
ory' was burned to the ground at about
> a. m. Wednesday morning. The con.
tents of the house were all DESTROYED
as the old house made good fuel for
the fire. 10i
The house and farm are owned bv
a William Willetts, believed to be a
jamaican, who works in Marcus Hook
and spends his week-ends on the farm
The fire was discovered about &
o'clock by an aged grandmother wbc
was visiting and who was awakened
while sleeping on the first floor. Mrs.
Willetts and her three sons were a.
wakened only having time to get our
and within an hour had been lowered
with their clothes.
The house was literal tinder box
to the ground. Fortunately no wind
was blowing and even nearby trees
were not burned, while a nearby out
house was not burned. Neighbors did
not know of the fire until it was prac-
tically over and could render no ass
istance.
1t is believed that some insurance
was carried on the house.

BAGGING BIG GAME IN JERSEY

Several hunters from Penns Grove
joined parties from other parts of the
County which set out Sunday for &
five day trip after the ever fleeting
deer. The changing of game laws so
that the season comes on consecutive
days has made it very appealing and
latest reports show that they are bag
ging their game.
Word was received Tuesday night
that Clarence Bowling with the Deer
Hunting Association of Monroeville
had gotten his buck and that other
members of the party had also had
success. Other members in the party
from Penns Grove were Vansickle
Kidd, Howard Creamer and Joseph
Baldwin, while "Pop" Vanneman, of
Kamp Karney fame, accompanied the
party as chief culinary artist They
were hunting in the vicinity of Egg
Harbor.
A party from Woodstown of about
30 was joined by Thomas Roberts,
Howard Campbell and VIM. Roberts,
of Penns Grove returned today after
being in the region around Hammon-
ton. Reports Wednesday night were
that the party had gotten four.
Frank C. McVaugh, H. B. Hunt and

WOman'S Club
Considers Welfare

The fortnightly meeting of the
Woman's Club was held in the Rore
ough Hall, Tuesday afternoon. Miss
Rena B. Leap, President. There were
about twenty-five present.
A letter was received from Salem
Memorial Hospital giving thanks for
the donation sent by the club.
Among the welfare topics discussed
was the new plank on Penns Grove
wharf which are quarter of an inch
thicker than the old ones. Some wom-
en- had been trlpped and had bad falls.
Three electric lamps do not give light
and at times automobiles are on the
foot-path, making it difficult to pass.
The secretary was directed to write
to the manager, Joseph Wilson, call
ing attention to these defects in con-
yenient travel.
A resolution was received from
Helen l.. Davis, chairman of the De-
ment of Legislation, asking the en-
dorsement of proposed U. S. Con-
Stltutlonal amendment to prohibit
child labor under 18 years of age,
After it was discussed from different
angles by the women, William A.
Summerill was given the privilege of
speaking.
He said in part that such a law
would prohibit housewives hiring
girl helper under 18 years of age. One
might be sick on their death bed and
it would be illegal to have one to help
her for pay under 18 years of age.
Boys could not be hired under 18.
Many would grow up in Incidence and
have to be kept because it would be
unlawful for them to work for paw.
The present law in New Jersey allows
boys and girls to work at Is, and in
cases of necessity at ID.
Many boys and girls use to be taken
from the New Jersey Children's Home,
at Trenton, and brought up to be use
full workers on farms, but the takers
have been required to sign stringent
obligations which they do not do with
their own children. People will not
take these children to raise. Some who
use to contribute to this home have
become so disguested with the strin-
gent rules that they have ceased to
give to the home, because they want
waits cared for and raised better
than many parents do their own chill
dren.
1t was the concensuS of those pres
ent that such a law would be too strin-
gent and might be endorsed if modi-
fed to conform to New Jersey law.
The topic for discussion was Civics
Mrs. Hannah Ashcraft was chairman.
She announced that former Assem-
blyman William S. Stiles was on the
program but was unable to be present
because he was on the grand jury
She introduced Mrs. Steadman Apple

Meaning of Religious Citizenship"

Executive Secretary of the Board of

Meaning of Religious Citizenship

In a delightful little drama called
"'Will Shakespeare" by Miss Clarence
Dane, Queen Elizabeth is pictured sit
ting at her table at a window which
opened on a noisy street, signing or
mic will, the papers before her. She
was asked why she sat where it was so
noisy. She replied that to rule her
people she needed a personal touch
to their ills and needs and be wake
full partner of its married soul.
So must the League of Women
Voters" take the place of Queen
Elizabeth. The Queen of yesterday
has given place to the intelligent vot-
ing citizenry-men and women of to-
day. They should experience the jars
of mishaps III our land and feel the
thrill of every advance toward the re-
alization of right.
The first feature of citizenship is
easily understood by women and
mothers, because it comes in the nur-
sery where she is the sole and right
full sovereign. You must learn to
bear with the bitter cry of children
and the perfect babel of voices. You
must understand and be patient with
disorder rules. Your will learn les
son in your world or home by acting
in it daily, share its sorrows and enjoy
its joys which come through the win
dow of your soul.
This organization analyzes the
sounds and voices, facts, coming thru
its committees. One of the incoher-
ent, on rushing disturbing sounds, and
complex problems is the vast number
of foreigners coming to us who need
