The world is full of scratch ers-with here and there a lone digger.
 The scratchers are satisfied with small crops and little work. The digger blows deep er for large returns. The 1cratchers are satisfied with g little study and general intelli- gence. The digger searches long for wisdom. The scratch ars drift far to the right and he left. The digger sails straight to his goal. The scratchers follow the opinions of every man in the market place. The digger makes up his own mind and leads others. The scratchers read a hundred books and forget them all. The digger reads one and makes it his own. The scratch CTS are very, very many. The dlggers are few.-Exchange.

Beverly Hotel
Raided Saturday
Two Quarts OF Whisky Seized By
Local And State Police.

Excitement was at its height on
Saturday night in the vicinity OF
Third and Broad streets, when Coun-
ty Detectives Cain and Carabine, five
State troopers and Officers Holland
and Stevenson raided the Beverly
Hotel, owned by Victor Mataitis.
Thomas Kelly, of Cooper street,
was behind the bar and was doing
a thriving business on ginger ale,
cream soda and other soft drinks.
AS the troopers entered, Kelly gave
them all smile and babe them well
come. But when Detective Cain I'M
covered two quarts of liquor buried
in the cellar, Kelly's countenance
was one of gloom.
1t is said that the raid was staged
on complaint of Mr.. Strickland, of
Burlington, whom is supposed to
have purchased liquor right over the
bar.
ms, 1T is claimed, is Mataitis'
twenty-fourth offense and at the pre-
sent time he is serving 80 days in
Philadelphia on similar offense.
1t ds time the people of the county
were realizing that hijacking, gam
bling and bootlegging are leading to
a condition bordering ON anarchy and
that the perpetrators of any of these
crimes are enemies of society and are
not entitled to sympathy or pardon.
Kelly was arrested and at a hear
ing before Supreme Court Commits
sioner V. Claude Palmer, at Mount
Holly on Monday, entered bail for
court.
There were at least four persons
under the influence of liquor in the
saloon at the time of the raid.

SPEAKER POWELL BLOCKED
SALARY BOOSTING MEASURES

Although bitterly opposed by the
Democrats, the resolution introduced
in the Assembly by Speaker Clifford
R. Powell, of Mount Holly, to create
commission to study the question OF
state and municipal salaries and re-
port to the next legislature was APP
proved last week.
Minority Leader Barison attacked
the measure because it would result,
he said, in blocking deserving salary
increase bills now in the hands of the
Judiciary Committee. Mr.. Anderson,
of Essex, likewise voiced opposition,
declaring that it was simply an at
tempt to 'spass the buck"
Defending the bill, Mr.. Stratton, OF
Gloucester said that the point had
been reached where the services OF
such committee were badly needed
The annual crop of pay boost bills
now totals from 0 to 100, he asserted
all of which, if passed, would mean
an outlay of close to $1,000,000.

TRY THIS SCHEME WHEN
YOU BEGIN A NEW PUZZLE

Here are few tips on the solving
of crossword puzzles. Many read
ers of The Beverly Banner already
may have discovered them.
First when you start new puz-
zle, read through the definitions UNI
TIL you reach one which you recog-
nize, and if you are fairly sure of
your guess, jot down the word in
the proper squares. Most puzzles
contain several words which appear
again and again-words such as
"enu," "bos," "ra," and several
others whose meanings are so limit
ed that it makes variation in de6ni-
tons almost impossible. Consequ ent-
ly, if you go through the METRE list,
you will find quite few words at
the beginning which will give you a
good start.
Another thing to be careful Of is
the proper Interpretation of defini-
tons. Many words have several
meanings or shades of meanings,
which are likely to give the solver
the wrong impression. Sometimes
the word may be used as either a
verb or noun, but the definition, OF
course, will give only the meaning
For instance, think of the many ways
of defining each of the following
words: mop, heat, rum air. view and
drop, set.
OF course, there are no set rules
for this fascinating game; perhap:
that is one reason for its popularity
but in any event these suggestion
may help you through tough puz
zle. Turn to the one in today's issus
and see how long it takes you tt
solve it.

CONVALESCENT HOME TO BE
USED AS CHILD BILLET

A practical demonstration of the
policy of the American Legion to-
ward the growing question of Child
Welfare, will be furnishedin the
opening of a Child Billet at Clarks-
boro, N. ]. This home is situated on
the Sweedsboro- Woodbury. Pike about
five miles below Woodbury., and was
purchased about two years ago with
the proceeds of Poppy Sales through
the efforts of the four counties COM
prising the District No. 5. Curling
ton, Camden, Gloucester and Salem
District No. still retains ownership
of this home but the management of
it will be assumed by the National
Child Welfare Committee of the
American Legion.
New Jersey is the second state to
successfully consumate such a pro-
ject, the first Billet being in opera
ton at Otter Lake, Michigan, be-
tween twenty-five and thirty chill
dren, needy orphans of World War
veterans from all parts of the country
will be accommodated and are wait
ing the opening of the home. The
plan provided for their care at the
Billet until permanent homes are
found for the children through regu-
lar adoption into American families
of good character.
The public is cordially invited to
attend the opening, definite date of
which will be announced shortly, and
to assist the Legion in any work,
aside from the patronage which has
always been so cheeerfully accorded
the Poppy Day Sales, which will be
continued for this specific purpose.
Here is an Opportunity to further
help the Cause.
May we count on you.
