CROSSES OCEAN AND

CROSSES OCEAN AND
PROVES HE is ALIVE
Minneapolis, Minn.,-Erick O.
Westin, World War veteran here,
recently made a trip to Sweden
to prove to his parents that he is
alive and not lying dead in the
Argonne Forest, the victim of a
German bullet. He has just re-
turned here from his unique mis-
sion, after correspondence had fail
ed to convince his parents that he
was still alive.
Westin was taken to a base hos
pital from the Argonne front in
November, 1918. Another man, who
was taken to the hospital the same
day and who occupied an adjoining
cot, died a few days later. Westin
was confused with the dead sol
der. Both the United States and
the Swedish governments had re-
ported to Westins parents that their
son was dead. Not until he present
ed himself in person did they believe
him alive.

PROMISE TO IMPROVE
ELECTRIC SERVICE

Mr.. J. Gardner Menut. vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
New Jersey Power & Light Co
of Dover. n. ]. was caller in my
office on Tuesday. Mr. Menut said
his attention had been called to
my editorial last week deploring the
Interruptions in service on the trans
mission line supplying Lambertville
and surrounding territory. His visit
was to assure me that he and his
associates appreciated the need of
improved service in this section,
and that plans are under way to
supply the remedy in short time.
If the editorial brings the desired
results we will feel amply repaid
for publishing it. Mr.. Menut i'm
pressed me as being sincere, and
believe his company will make good
on the promise he made,

DUMBSK ULLERY AND
DUDLESOCKERY

The Mons. Little Joe Wapentake
is frothing at the mouth again!
He has evidently been bitten by a
tea hound or colonel cub of the
lap-dog variety.
It's a pity there isn't dog catch
er in Lambertville!
In the meantime the following
parody is dedicated to him without
apologies to Longfellow or anybody
else.
Under spreading whiffle-tree
The village carper stoops;
His mug o'erspread with fiendish
glee,
Well-filled with bull his scoops;
And the muscles of his scrawny
tongue
Are spread like barrel hoops.
Weak in, weak out, he only knows
The weapons Of abuse;
His Shiny, filthy dabs he throws
Without the least excuse.
He does not realize he shows
Himself stupid goose.
Boiling, frothing, vilifying,
Onward thru life he goes.
But little knows this carping boob
The boomerang he throws
That every filthy dab he heaves
But splatters his own nose!
The Mons. Little Joe had better
be prepared to prove at court
of law his inference that | am
"Ku Kluxer" and cross burner.
Can he prove it!

GOING UP

A colored soldier at Camp Lo-
gan, Texas, had been so attentive
to a Houston girl that he had been
restricted to quarters and given ex-
ira duty for overstaying his pass.
Not having seen him for two days,
the lady decided to look him up at
the camp, and discovered him man
touring the ground about the incin-
orator.
"Whaffo' yo' ain came to see me
fo' so long? ?" she demanded.
"Ah couldn' honey"
"Whaffo' yo' couldn ?"
"Lissun, honey, didn' All tell yo'
All was gwine be pummoted? Well,
All has. Abs been pummoted to in

THE PUBLIC PAYS

The public generally sympathizes
with workers, of the kind of those
who go down into the mines to
produce the nations fuel. There are
too many consumers, however,
among workers whose wages have
not increased anything like 1872 per
cent to make consent popular that
the price of the fuel upon which
they depend shall be made greater
to further increase wages of miners,
that appear to be above the av-
erage. Elizabeth IN. j. Journal.

PROTECT THE FORESTS

Fires are already breaking out
in the hills. The duty to sow no
seeds of fire is on everyone. It falls
particularly on the vacationists now
swarming the woods. The experien-
ced outdoor man grinds tobacco
leavings and match stubs into the
dust with his heel.
The campfire should be built only
on bare ground, should never be
left unattended and should be thor
oughly extinguished before the camp
is left. The forests will be open as
long as the public respects the rules
for safeguarding them, otherwise
they will eventually be closed dur
ing the summer to protect our tim
Der resources.

a new Santa Fe depot will be built
there some time this year. The bud
