.FREEHOLDERS HOLD
MEETING AT COLONY
State Association Had Biggest Meet
ing In Organizations History.

The New Jersey Association of
Freeholders had its October meeting
at the State Colony at Four Mile on
Monday and it was the biggest meet
ing ever held by the organization. 1t
YVES quite a compliment to the presi-
dent, Freeholder Charles r. Stout, to
have the FIeeholders from various
parts of the state and so many of his
Burlington county friends on hand
for the session. The meeting was
held at the Colony on invitation of
Commissioner Burdette G. Lewis, of
the Department of Institutions and
Agencies.
Dinner was had at the Colony and
Superintendent Henry R. Walton GER
ta.nly made all the guests feel COM
Portable and satisfied. The principal
address was made by Commissioner
Lewis He spoke of the pioneer work
done by Burlington county residents
| and the development OF the colony
from that beginning until it now has
family of 268. Commissioner Lew
is said that he believed a Colony able
70 accommodate 500 inmates would not
be too large. Other speakers were
President Stout, Superintendent Wal
ton, Senator Ennnor Roberts, former
Superintendent J. Frank MacCombel
and County Clerk William H. Reeves
They were alFa interesting.
The meeting at the Colony ended
early in the afternoon and then al
the guests who had never before tax
en- the trip were introduced to Th'
Plains, nearby. 1t was great sigh
for those who did not previousl!
know that there was such strip o
land SO we'll endowed with the beau
ties of nature in New Jersey.

MORE APPLESAUCE-

According to a neighboring press,
the drive for a new ambulance for
Beverly City has not fallen through.
Harry McCloskey, chief driver of the
Salvage Corp, is quoted as having
made this statement. He also is al
legged to have said money is still
coming in"
We are not denying the statements
but we do think that they are Z lot
of applesauce. Nothing has been heard
about the ambulance for some months
past, excepting that one had been or
dered from the Worth Motor Car
Company, of this city, and is to be
a Studebaker make. This report how
ever has never been verified.
The old ambulance or JOY car, is
peacefully reposing in the barn of
j. E. Hammell and Son, contractors,
of this city, and is a total wreck, due
to the smashing into trolley car
near DelancO, over year ago.
According to McCloskey, the Sal
wage Corp is waiting for the Public
Service Railway Company to "come
across" for the damage done to the
old car. If the Public Service is at
fault, why has the Salvage Corp not
taken action through the courts?
McCloskey also states that the new
ambulance will be delivered in a lit
tie over months time. Let's wait
and see if we can catch glimpse of
the new ambulance before January
1st, 1926. If we do, all's we'll and
good; if we don't, somebody's the
goat.

pulled out his gun and shot the dog.
Several ladies who witnessed the act
asked the officer as an act of mercy
to put the dog out of its misery.
His replywas ooh it won't suffer

led away, returning after an hours
time and buried the dog.

two negroes. Upon hi arrival on
the scene he found one of the negroes
armed with loaded shot gun on the
public highway, threatening the 9TH
er ones life.
Holland disarmed him and turned
the gun over to the mans father.
Why was this man not arrested? IS

the Police Committee going to tole-
rate such actions as these? This dis
graceful affair calls for prompt IN
vestigation and the police department
should act

not think it would be the last. st
would take first class bunch of pro-
fessionals to win every game on
schedule" he said. Besides Saturday
we were badly handicapped by the
loss of four regulars due to sickness
and injury. You may say that | am
crying wolf but really l am only
making statement of fact"
However alibis and post mortenns
are out. Pitnan has great team, of
course, they are professionals, but
they are the best | have ever seen
and / have watched quite a few of
them as coach and as player. They
outplayed US from the start and de-
served every one of their twenty-six
points. Incidently our early games
were too easy They gave the boys
The idea that they were unbeatable,
They have however learned lot
from their experience last week and
if Pitman were to meet us tomorrow
chey would find a much stronger
team
Smith will have in his lineup this
week Eagle Dewson, fullback; Pope
quarterback; Bowen, right end; all
Of the regulars ard Conover, new
linesman. ~,
Delanco will depend on Big Bill,

BANNER PRINTING CO.
TO OCCUPY NEW PLANT
Will Be Located At Five Points In
The Heart OF The City.

Almost invariably, on your first
visit to any manufacturer of quail
ity product, he'll eagerly grasp the
slightest excuse to show you through
his plant. -Pride-in-equipment is one
of the qualities to go hand-in-hand
with pride in craftsmanship.
And yet somewhere along in the
conversation there is almost sure to
creep in a semi apologize "of course
if we had little more space" or
"some day we hope to-"
The Banner Printing Company has
great pride in its equipment. 1t
has been recognized generally that
this was one of the county's best
shops. But, excellent as our equip
ment has been, efficiently as the de-
partments did fit together, we to have
often said to our many visitors some
day we hope
The particular point is to announce
that the "some day" rs now at hand.
We have waited for it long time.
More than once we have been tempt
ed to make a move, and at the last
moment drew back because there was
some little thing that married our
going.
So, although we will still retain
Il. d.. &c ,,,,, ,,,.;.r;,,aI Location,
we will move our entire plant, both
newspaper and job departments to
Nos. POI, 203 and 205 Warren street,
right on the Five Points, in the
heart of the city, But that is the
least important of our present layout.
First, we have twice as much floor
space as in our old quarters, but
instead of being separated on two
floors we will be combined on one
!. floor.
Second, ,@thisf floor is a perfect
square, an ideal arrangement for the
naying out Ses1ls various departments
lin their propes sequence.
Some of our good friends connected
with the printing art have told us
that our contemplated layout will be
the finest they have ever seen. "a
course we must make some allowance
for friendships sake. But we dc
promise you that in our new quarters
which we will occupy on or about
November Both, you will find com
plete printing. newspaper and en-
craving plant for which we viii
make no apologies.

Why one of Beverly's merchants,
after making sale Immediately
leaves his place of business for the
saloon at Laurel and Third streets,
makes entrance through the side door
and re-appears in less than three min

ment, makes another sale and re
peates his performance?
This is known to have taken place
several times daily. What is the at.
traction? Ice cream? No, that i:
not sold at this particular place
Soft drinks? Probably. Liquors

or fault in the earths surface.
Slight Tremors Are Reported.
Certain evidences of foldings in the
earth's surface have been discovered
in southeastern Colorado, and near
Haswell, just west of Eads, In Kiowa
country, there have been reports of
very slight earth tremors within re-
cent years, according to Mr.. Lupton.

that the folding in southeastern Colo

If the readjustment of the earth's
crust were perfect when the faults be-
came inactive and dead" ages ago,
and if there have been no substantial
readjustments of weight on the

PIG PUTS OWNER
THROUGH COLLEGE
Provision Being Made to Care
for Her in Old Age.

Greenville, S. C.-When "Red," 400
pound pure-bred Duroc SOW, pokes her
poker face into the Elysian fields there
is little doubt that she will be led into
clover, for certainly her sojourn in the
half-acre pen built by her owner, Paul
G. Bates, twenty-two-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. D. p Bates of Marietta,
has been marked with unusual
achievement. Her most noteworthy
success, however, has lain along the
natural talent of motherhood, for by
the sale Of her offspring young Bates
has been able to secure an education.
Only recently she has added to his
college fund by giving birth to nine
pigs and Paul expects he will be able
to finish Clemson college, where he is
a junior, through the continued in
crease of the porker population. She
is now four years old. Provision has
already been made for her care when
the infirmities of age place her on the
retired list. She will close her eyes
in death only when the count of years
makes the call, and will then be given
a funeral in keeping with her breed.
Paul will finish his course in cleo
trical engineering at Clemson. When
approached on the matter of Reds"
raisin' he was in workshop near his
home building a wooden waterwheel
for installation in a stream near by,
which is to generate electricity for
several farms in that community. The
boy declares he will never forget
Red" and will honor her memory as
one who did much to help give him a
start in life.
