light of Gods countenance, as
much as the Lilies rejoice in the
light of the sun? Why shouldn't
we as children of God be clothed
with the garments of salvation
and have placed on us the robes
of his righteousness, with the
light of his countenance shining
upon us every hour of the day?
Such blessings with the showers
of his grace and the sunshine OF
his presence are for US all. If our
Father can bring such beautiful
flowers from the cold, dead earth,
and make such humble flowers so
perfectly beautiful, why should
we be afraid to believe that He
will bring us forth and change our
nights of sorrow and trouble into
the full day of hope and gladness?
Then with our deathless souls
brought from our perishable habi-
tations we shall be transplanted
to
Those everlasting habitations,
Where angels walk, and seraphs
are the wardens;
Where every flower brought safe
through deaths dark portal,
Becomes immortal"

LET THEM GROW!
philadelphia Bulletin)

Steadily declining yield OF the
huge pound nets which dot the
Jersey shore has finally opened
the eyes of the commercial nsn'
erman to the value of conserva'
ton measures. For years they
have combatted proposals to en-
large the meshes of their nets,
so that the kill of undersize f1sh
would be cut down, and now are
reaping the award of their short
sightedness.
Confined to their present linn
it's by failure last winter to gain
the consent of the War Depart
ment for considerable expan'
sion of the area in which pound
nets are permitted, they now re-
cognize the value of a policy
which will allow little fish to
grow to maturity. To that end
a bill is being prepared for pres
entation to next years Legisla-
ture at Trenton, establishing a
minimum legal size for various
species of salt water fish, a reg
ulation already enforced in New
York waters.
The pound owners, the angler
and the seafood lover will all
benefit by such wise restriction.

SERMONETTE
VALUABLE CONSIDERATIONS.
BY r. Ashley Cake.

VALUABLE CONSIDERATIONS.
Consider the Lilies. Matt. 6:23.
1t was early morn, the dew was
yet on the grass, the king of day
was almost ready to begin his
lordly march across the heavens,
the streaks of gray adorned with
tinted colors coming from afar
were inspiring, the birds were al
ready on the wing, while gentle
zephyrs were carrying their sweet
and wild melodies on the wings
of the wind, where they were crys-
tallized into forms of beauty as
we see them in the graceful forms
of the lilies, and in the untarnish-
ed beauty of the roses.
How any of Gods children can
live and have no ear for music, no
love for the beautiful, and detect
no harmonies in nature, is hard to
conceive. If there should be such,
let there be contemplation on the
graceful forms of the lilies, and
the blushing hues Of the roses.
am sure the same emotions of
beauty which music is designed to
awaken will soon be yours.
1t was while He who upholds all
things by the word of his power
was about opening the gates of
the morning of what promised to
be a beautiful summer day, that
l was persuaded to go out into
pleasant retreats, where 1 might
see more of the glory of "Our Fa-
ther", "Who is righteous in all
his ways and holy in all his
works." How much more of heav-
en-, light and peace We would all
have in our souls, all along the
pathway of life, if we would look
less on the transient and decep-
tive splendor of earthly things,
and with the eye of faith fixed
upon the invisible and eternal, be
found walking with God; how
soon the nobler parts of our ma
lures would gain the ascendancy,
and we would find ourselves ris-
ing above the damps, the fogs,
and mists of the carnal, and the
whole complexion of our natures
would soon be changed.
My own heart leaps with joy at
the sight of the green fields, the
waving forests, and the glittering
torrents coursing their way am
ong the hills and across the
plains. But still greater are the
joys when just as the sun send
ing it's rays of light over the hill
tops and over the sea on a misty
morning causes the mists to rise
and the whole landscape with the
ocean is developed into beauty

and grandeur; SO the more glori-
GUS beams, coming from the Son
of righteousness, striking through
the clouds Eliminates the mind,
doubts and fears are all 'dissipat-
ed, and it is ours to rejoice in the
riches and glories of Our Fathers
kingdom even here on earth.
Our physical comfort depends
largely on what We see when look
ing heavenward. We can feed the
body on the most wholesome
food, our environment may be ex
ceedingly beautiful, but unless the
mind is fed with wholesome food,
and we are partakers of the bread
and water of life, our comforts
will be meagre indeed.
This is a physical and mental,
as we'll as spiritual law, the
three are all interviewer into the
other, and are forever inseparable
/ and unalterable. It's not being
needed is the real cause of more
misery, wretchedness, suffering,
than the world has ever dreamed.
Out of the heart are all the issues
of life. Indeed the heart is the
real man. Like the spring in
which the river rises, it needs to
be kept pure, otherwise the river
is foul and turbid to it's outlet
Unless the heart is pure, there is
no happiness, no health, nor no
enjoyment of the life that now is.

AS THE COUNTRY GROWS.

North Carolina has had me
greatest economic development Oh
any State of the Union during the
past fifteen years, While mlgra-
fions to Florida have been the
most rapid in the history OF the
country the greatest movement Oh
nonulation was the migration OF
A million people to the Los Ange-
les region in a period OF ten years.
These are some of the observa-
lions of Secretary Hoover, as he
considers the manner i'll when
his fellow countrymen move from
place to place.
The Secretary is quoted as ex-
pecting the industrial develop
ment of the South to continue. 1t
is a favored region, with its aDun-
dant water supply, and it's stores
of raw materials. But, as the Sec
rotary views the situation, it gives
no cause for alarm in other parts
of the country. He expresses tie
belief that the population OF the
Northern States will continue to
increase. 1t is opinion backed by
figures recently published. There
are more people in New Jersey
than there were when the million
began their trek to Los Angeles
and when. later, the roads to Flo
rida became congested with motor
cars
In other words, Secretary Hoo
yer sees no reason to suppose that
because one part of the country Is
expanding in population another
is declining. 1t does not follow
that because North Carolina, and
Florida, and California are grow
fng. New England is slipping
The more reasonable view accepts
II as a fact that growth and pros
perity in one part of the country
promote growth and prosperity III
other parts. But even Secretary
Hoover might have hard work to
convince some of the pessimists
IN our midst that such is the case.

SMALL TOWN sQUABBLiNG


II former superintendent of
Pleasantville schools William
C. Sullivan doesn't get the
back pay he says is due him,
he will at least have had the
satisfaction of giving some
uneasy moments to the school
board. AS fighter Mr.. Sulli-
van is no mean antagonist,
and he hits hard.
Pleasantville is in a sort OF
midway stage between being
bigger city and a modest
town. If She hopes to pro-
gress she must discard the
small town ideas in govern
ment and do things that re-
quire vision and breadth. The
Sullivan situation is an in
stance of where playing petty
politics even with the schools
has not done the city any
good.
c h re e s and counter
charges fill the air. Sus-
picions that all has not been
above board in the perform
ances of the school trustees
will not be easily allayed.
There is a wide element that
respects the deposed superin-
tendent and a political ele-
ment that cannot parade
about in the garb of a lily.
The demand for a show down
Is growing and if the super
intendent has the goods he
says he has or the board has
the defense it claims, both
ought to spring the trap now.
The quicker the house is
cleaned if there is mud there
the better it will be for Pleas
antville. If there is no real
substance to the hostility be-
tween the factions let that be
shown promptly. Tampering
with the public schools is not
to be easily condoned.
Pleasantville wants to get
together and work together
for a larger and more pros
porous city. She hasthe oppor-
tunity and the facilities but
the united public spirit she
has yet to get.

Placing of Poles.

To the Editor:
Dear Sir: VIII you please in
form me as to who has the right
to set poles for electric and tel
ephone compenies, or who gives
the above companies the right to
erect such poles on lots? will
explain the reason for asking you.
have two lots on Leeds ave-
nue.; one of these lots runs along
Franklin avenue 125 feet and in
that space someone has had four
ugly poles for an electric light at
the corner of Leeds and Frank
lin avenues erected.
AS my lots Il also own the next
lot to the corner) are unimproved
perhaps the poles are not right
on them, but it looked to me that
four poles were too many for one
corner lot.
I wrote the Board of Freehold
ers. They wrote back saying that
my lot was not on any county
road, and these poles are not be-
ing erected under the authority
from the Board. So I am inquir-
ing from you. Thanking you in
advance, and awaiting your reply,
L. r. McDONOUGH.
P. S. Is there a map of Pleas
antville printed or for sale. If
SO, please tell me the price. I
mean a map that would show the
streets way out to Absecon, es-
pecially that particular part call
ed, or was called, BAY View

Answer: Both the electric
lighting and telephone companies
have franchises granted by the
city which permits them to erect
their poles on curbs in any Sec
ton of Pleasantville. If the poles
are on your property, lawyer
should be consulted. AS your
property is unimproved, no doubt
the poles are on your curbs.

Usually the more law costs the
less justice there is in it.
Women are more forgiving than

that the oldest families are likely
to have the most to be ashamed

and consider how Pleasantvllle Is
getting together and working Tor
a larger and more prosperous
city.
Start, say, with the school SIT
nation. The gentleman who was
until recently superintendent,
saws he does not want the job
again and would not take it. All
right, there is another gentleman
who does want the job and mas
has entered upon his duties with
every aim and endeavor to give
Pleasantville good schools. He
rinds the outlook rosy and a CO.
operation upon the part of the
people of the city and the schooi
board in particular that will get
the best results. So, PleasantVllle
is getting together" on the
school situation without any ques-
ton. There is going to be a fine
new high school building, too, and
she has the "united public spirit"
to get it.
AS for a larger community, it
is known that the school popula-
ton of Pleasantville has practi-
cally doubled in ten years; that
Three new manufacturing en-
terprises have been obtained for
the city In the last year; that
Manufacturing and laundry es-
Establishments have added to their
plants in the last year; that
Miles of new streets, sidewalks,
curbs and boulevard effects have
been added in the last year; that
Building permits issued in the
last year approximate one million
dollars; that
Real estate transactions for the
City of Pleasantville alone aver
age eighty per month; that
Post office receipts show re-
growth; that
Another company of firemen
with apparatus and head
quarters for community meetings
will soon be provided; that
Bank deposits are constantly in
creasing; that
Building and loan associations
show ever increasing strength and
N~ issues of shares are well sub
,cribed; that
Pleasantville mercantile estab-
ishments are increasing in num-
Der, merchants are making their
shops more attractive and their
offerings of greater variety and
most reasonable in price; that
Cooperation in Pleasantville is
very apparent in the success of
the Pleasantville Regulars, a
baseball aggregation composed of
Pleasantville men which was
awarded the championship OF
South Jersey League for the drst
half of the season oyer an Allan
tic City team; that
Cooperation for any public i'm
provement is readily obtainable
and that
Pleasantville men and women
are prompt to extend assistance
and get relief to the unfortunate
and needy through highest type
OF cooperative efforts and self
sacrifice.
The only muddling of united
public spirit" in Pleasantville is
caused by outsiders, forstered by
encouraged by the Atlantic City
Press and Union and so manufac-
tured and magnified by them.
The nagging, smart click type
of journalism practiced by those
particular papers creates only ill
feeling and antagonisms toward
those who engage in it.
We cannot just see where
Pleasantville situations are any
business of the Atlantic City
Press and Union news and edi-
torial writer's anyway. Perhaps
it would be more becoming of
them to mind their own business
with better care. We do not see
that anyone is getting hurt in the
rush to give them any command
ing or directive positions in city
government, or in state leader
ship, or in solving the debt Ques-
ton.
