LAST APPEAL FOR
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

EVERYTHING Is SET-LET'S
GO-Get that old civic spirit boil
ing-DIG DEEP and have your con-
tribution ready when the Canvas
ser arrives.
Have you ever fully realized the
tireless efforts of the members of
your Volunteer Fire Dept. For years
they have worked diligently to Sc
cure their apparatus and to-day, as
monument to their efforts, the
City of Lambertville has one of the
best equipped Fire Departments in
the State. They now ask for the
full support of every resident and
property holder in order that they
may complete the last link Of the
strong protection again fire which
they now offer.
At 6 P. NJ, May 18th, on the first
toot of the whistle just stop for
moment and place yourself in the
position of the one living in the
house that is being threatened by
that powerful monster FIRE. All
your hopes are in the prompt res
ponse of the Fire Department, with
out which you must Immediately
realize that all is lost. After the
blaze is extinguished, how glad you
feel, knowing that your friends
and fellow townsmen, in your hour
of trouble, have so generously res
ponded and when all seemed lost,
your property threatened with des--
truction, your loved ones subjected
to injury and possible death, your
volunteer department performed such
efficient service that their still re-
mains lots to be thankful for.
Inasmuch as we all run equal
chances of being the next one to
be visited by the ravages of fire,
it is not only fitting and proper
that we should, at this time, con-
tribute to our limit for our own
self representation, our unselfish desire
to help others and for that public
spirit which we all have in our
regard to the efficiency of Lam
bertville's own.
Now lets think it over for q
minute, dig deep and contribute
literally and push this drive over
the top in the one hour allotted
for that purpose.

Des Moines, Iowa, May 6.-The
Iowa Anti-Saloon League, in re-
port today declared either the State
and Federal liquor laws must be
enforced with utmost rigidity," or
the people of Iowa must face pos
sible modification" to permit the
manufacture and sale of light wines
and beer.
"Violation of the Prohibition laws
in five Mississippi Valley Cities" said
the report, ranges from almost
open sale of intoxicants over the
bars of saloons to numerous canned

better. 1t is believed more stills
exist in given area around Du-

the United States"
Sentiment for enforcement was
found in one city, but elsewhere, said
