Sponges who adhere to the body

She said: ''Such sponges enjoy
good roads, schools, libraries, mail

NEW ROAD COST
SET AT $4,000

Much favorable comment has been
heard about the new road now under
construction in Edgewater Township.
The road, which is the extension
of Cooper street, from the railroad
to the Burlington Pike, while it is
stated, cost the county over $4,000.
Many Improvements have been
made to roads in the rural districts,
but nary a road in Beverly with the
exception of some, that have had
cinders placed on them. Broad
street could stand a few cinders on
it as we'll as Cooper street could
stand a coat of asphalt. Let's go,
improve Beverly and enlarge the
community.

MUST HAVE LEGAL
LIGHTS ON JANUARY ]

To make sure that the law has
been complied with applicants for
1925 automobile licenses must GER
tify on the application blank that
their headlights are properly equip
ped and focused. The new applica-
ton cards call for this information
which must be sworn to.
One feature of the new application
blanks is the fact that the State
department is evidently keeping
close tabs on all machines, particul-
arly those which have passed throu-
gh one or more hands. The object
is to discourage as far as possible
those inclined to take machines
belonging to others
1t is necessary for each applicant
to give a thorough description OF
the auto, its 1924 registration num-
Der and if not previously registered
in this State the party of firm from
whom it was obtained. The date
of the purchase and all essential de-
tails must also be furnished. 1t
will be next to impossible to get a
license for a car which has been
p~urloined since a complete record
must be kept of the hands through
which it has passed.
Provision is also made for the APP
plicant to show that his car complies
with the law with respect to equip
ment including brakes, signaling
device, reflecting mirror, ear red
light showing white light on plate,
and other features regarded necess-
airy for saftey.

of three or four regulars who at
tended the celebration in Burlington,

experience.

even, but in the second half Beverly
had possession of the ball the great
err part of the time and threatened
to score on several occasions but
lacked the final punch. Bowen
tried for a goal from the field in
both the third and last periods only
to have the ball go wide in its
course on each trial.

WHY ADVERTISER

1t is only the foolish merchant to-
day who does not believe in the val
ue of advertising and who does not
recognize 1t as necessary for the
continued growth Of his business.
1t is no longer a question of,
Shall I or shall / not advertise? but
simply a question of, To what ex-
tent and in what way shall / adj
vertise.
Circulars, novelties, calendars, d.
rect mail, all have their appeal,
but when all is said and done and
when results are compared with the
cost the merchant realizes that the
local paper is the best and cheapest
method of letting the public know
what he has to sell.
1t is the everlasting cry of the
small town tradesman, ooh, ! have
been here for years and everybody
knows me-" Yes, everybody knows
that church starts at ten thirty O
clock on Sunday mornings, but they
ring the bell at ten o'clock just the
same. Everybody knows me" is
only a half truth, for new families
come into town every day of the
year. They must trade somewhere
and the local paper is invariably
their guide. Old patrons are induced
to increase their purchases through
the appeal of the printed page.
Trying to do business without
advertising is like winking at q
girl in the dark. There is more
truth than poetry in the following
verses:
One step won't take you very far
you've got to keep on walking
One word won't tell folk who yot
are you've got to keep on talking
One inch won't make you very tall
you've got to keep on growing
One little ad won't do it all, you've
got to keep them going.
BECAUSE
A constant drop of water wear
away the hardes stone.
The constant gnawing towser masti
Gates the toughest bone.
The constant cooling lover carries OF
the blushing maid.
And the constant advestiser is tn
one that gets the trade.-Charle
Lane in the Palisade IN. ]. } Palisa

Firernens' Parade
Well Attended

IN WnaL was prOpaDiy the great
est firemen's parade in South Jersey,
if not the whole State, the Bur-
lington County Firemen's Associa-
ton, after eight years of existence,
celebrated the event by holding their
first parade on Saturday afternoon in
Burlington. The Burlington Fire
Department was host and staged the
entire affair assisted by the commit
teemen from the County.
The parade was in six divisions,
comprising companies from many
places. The line of march was ne
c~essarily long by reason of the ac-
ceptance of several entries being re-
ceived almost at the last moment.
The apparatus on view both by
visitors and County was of the mo-
dern type and elected amazement
and applause. The County Folks"
have heard for eight years what was
being done, both by word, meeting
and press, but the parade showed
the goods. In many respects it
was the same used practically by
departments of large cities, equally
as effective and baked and operated
by citizenship, good will and eff
cheney.
The parade was viewed by an
immense %concourse of people drawn
from every quarter of our state and
many from other states. Streets
were jammed though disorder was
of a slight nature. Precautions had
been taken to rope off the central
portions, while private and public
parking places provided for the thou
sand and one cars that flocked to
the city. 1t was the largest and most
colorful parade ever held in Burling-
ton.
Prizes of a money and metal
character, together with useful
| equipment were offered and eargerly
sought for and Ross B. Davis Chief
of the Philadelphia Fire Dept, Chief
j.. j. McGill of the Trenton Fire
Dept, and Chief Peter B. Carter, of
the Camden Dept, had their minds
full in making awards after the dis
missal. Chief Barrett of the Atlantic
| City Department, was honorary Judge
bringing back r~ecollections of his
boyhood days in Burlington when
he lived at Taylors Hill.
The Beverly Fire Department
participated, Hope Hose Fire Co. No.
2, members being CARRIED in an at
tractive yet modest uniform their
truck being ~resplendent in new paint
while Beverly Fire Co. No. / looking
grave though with plenty of good
service remaining, told the ASSEMBLE
age that this was the First Motor
Pumper" in Burlington County, June
&c, 1916, brought much applause
from those Burlingtonians who will
recollect those pumping periods of
%, and 81 hours respectively, in
their city. The members were gar
bed similar to No. 2, and the entire
department elected much comment
for their business appearance.
Another feature was the first
public appearance of the recently
organized, Ladies Auxiliary of the
Hope Hose Fire Company No. 2, of
this city. CARRIED in White, with
Red, White and Blue caps of the
tissue variety, they were not only
attractive but happy as well and de-
served all the applause given them.
The names of the companies in
the respective divisions, together
with prize winners, have already
been printed.
E. H. F1agg Jr. of Riverton, and
William B. Cramer, of Beverly, were
personal escorts to the judges.

(By Associated Press)

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. Fire, sweeping through the paint shop unit of Coster shops, Southern Railway, late today caused damage esti- mated tonight at $370,O00 and temporarily throws approxi- mately 1000 men out of work until repair workers and cleo tricians can clear away the debris and replace power and light wires.
 The fire started when a small blaze from defective wire was caught i'll blast from a hot air fan and whisked through the paint shop where the highly inflamable material stored there fed the flames greedily. The building of concrete and steel, with it's contents in- cluding 12 coaches and dynometer cars valued at S30,000 each, was de- stroyed.
 Roofs Ignite
 Sparks from the blaze were thrown by brisk wind to the roofs of the pow er house and other shops units, city firemen concentrating their attention to saving these structures and the dam age to these was held within $2,OOO.
 The fire started at f :55 o'clock and an hour later the paint shop was q smoudering mass of ruins. Three fire companies responded to the call but poor water pressure hampered the fire men in their battle, chemical apparatus being used in some instances to stay the progress of the blaze.
