now a deputy-and who rode like 6

tains as cOnnoisseur Of decent IL
quor, and who would drink nowhere In

Inc first test came in Indian-style
riding. This meant bareback first with
Dr1dle stripped; then with bride. The
reservation entry was at home I'm this
1t made a pretty picture: the half
naked young brave racing around the
track, throwing himself from side Ia
Side and backward and forward on his
pony.
Pardaloe gave him a hundred points
and waited for the next man. The local
boy passed out on this test. McCrossen
made a splendid showing, but his size
was against him for that style of horse
mansbip.
The wrangler, almost as large a man.
seemed able better to twist and wind
himself around his gelding. The last
time he raced down the course Il
looked at distance from the grand
! stand as IL the horse had lost his rider.
80 completely did the wrangler hide
himself on the opposite side.
The judges, at least, decided that no
buck they had ever seen ride could
hide himself more effectually from a
foe-tbey gave the Texan par with the
buck. McCrossen fell few points I'M
der the two.
Wild West riding followed. In this
McCrossen made a perfect score. His
long, 1.-the body In action, his perfect
ease and his striking garb brought en-
thusiastic applause. The wrangler, now
well thought Of, was a disappointment
In this test. He got through all the
work, but seemingly unevenly and with
an effort. He dropped to eighty points,
with McCrossen at par. Even the local
boy and the Indian passed him.
Looks like yesterday over again"
said Harry BOland, disposed to jeer at
SAVOY. Guess your boy shot his bolt
on the first round"
The laugh seemed to bore into Saw
dy. I'VE don't quit yet" he blurted
out like one baffied but not beaten,
though I'll say / have seen the boy
ride a whole lot better"
What do you think, Harry7" Boland
was appealing now to Tension, who
stood near at hand.
Looks like the wrangler is through"
sssented Tension. Backing then to one
side and speaking loud to Boland, he
added: "Put that money of mine on
McCrossen-he's got the act in the
bag"
well, better luck next time, Henry"
said Boland, resuming his prodding Of
Sawdy.

Moroccans Take Part i'm Spanish War

Loyal Spaniards

This picture of four Moroccan SOL
diers gives an idea of the type Of
fighting men imported to Spain by
the rebel commander. Gen. Fran
cisco Franco, to aid in the bloody
war on the loyalist government Of
President Azana.
Many native Spaniards have re-
scented the importation of foreign
troops, and it is believed to have
alienated the support of many reb-
el sympathizcrS. While no one can
doubt the value of the Moroccans
as fighting men. the invasion of the
Moors centuries ago still fingers in
the minds of the Spanish people.
British diplomats are making des-
perate Efforts to prevent interview
ton in Spain. The failure of Portu-
gal to join in general pact has
been disturbing factor. Portugal
has declared she must retain free
dom 10 act should Communist
propaganda menace internal Sc
curity.

BRIDGE JOBS
TO MIDDLETOWN
Some Are Nearly Completed
While Others Are Max
ing Progress
BUILT OF CONCRETE

Work upon the new highway
bridges between Middletown and
Townsend which are replacing the
frame structures built after the
spans were washed out in the
summer of 1884 is progressing
rapidly. One bridge is near COM
pletion and the others in varying
stages of completion. The bridge
at Sam Lamb Hill is completed ex-
cept for the filling in around the
concrete and laying of the road
way across the fill. The bridges
are built of reinforced concrete
similar in type to the spans which
were washed out. Concrete for
the bridge near st. Anne's Church,
one mile below Middletown, is now
being poured and piling is being
driven for the bridge at Cattail
Hill near Townsend. With wider,
better bridges the road from
Blackbird by way of Middletown
and Summit Bridge over the new
road soon to be opened to Glas-
gov, will make a fine highway and
a shorter cut from the Boulevard,
Smyrna to Baltimbore and Wash
ington. Later on it is hoped the
road from Glasgow to Newark
will be improved.

CHILDREN'S DAY AT ASBURY
CHURCH

SIlOIlSI1
Next Sunday will be generally
observed in Asbury Methodist con-
.nection as Children's day, but the
NJ. E. Sunday school of this town
selected last Sabbath, and the day
in its bracing temperature and
success in every way, proved the
wisdo moi the choice, whatever the
wisdom of the choice, whatever
may be the subsequent Sabbaths.
No previous observance has, we
think, been so satisfactory in its
execution and pleasing to the par
ticipants and the audience. The
church was trimmed for the occa-
sion the evening before and when
the audience assembled on Sunday
morning they found a beautiful ar
ray of flowers. A platform was
erected to cover the space of the
altar, the carpet covering of which
was BORED with broad band of
roses and other flowers. At one
side of the platform was a large
cross of field daisies on a ground
of gilt and on the other side the
organ. In the immediate front,
facing the centre aisle was table
thickly covered with blossoms
forming a bed of roses, above this
what might be termed a pillow of
the same, while a little in it's rear,
a little more elevated, was a skill
full combination of roses to repre-
sent bower in which was a beau
tifully designed anchor at rest in
a ground work of flowers. Hang
ing baskets of roses and trailing
vines swung from the lamp brack-
cts and beautiful boquets graced
each window. From the arch CEN
ire of the pulpit recess a floral
representation of crescent was
suspended while on the wall in the
rear was a design composed of
white and green suggestive of a
comet in its flint across the heav-
ems symbolizing the rapid advance
of christian civilization in the "ut-
termost parts of the earth" At
/ the ringing of the second bell the
school marched in the audience
room from their room below by
twos, taking their seats in the
front part, which had been reserv-
ed for them. The noticeable fea-

both fullness and mellowness to

were not varied much from the
accustomed service only adapting

pastor, Rev. j. B. Quigg, preaching
a short sermon, bringing it, as
possible to the comprehension of
the children. The Children's day
exercises proper were reserved for
the evening when they had it with
a full swing. The house was pack
ed in both the audience room and
galleries and the exercises moved
along with promptness that was
admirable, the programme being
gone through within an hour and
five minutes. John H. Hoffecker,
the superintendent, had charge of
the exercises throughout; Miss
Grace Quigg presided at the organ
and Walter o. oHffecker, as Choir
lister, had charge of the music,
which, with the instrumental ac-
above referred to,
formed a leading feature of the ex-
ercises. The exercises throughout
the evening were varied by recita-
tions, singing and responsive read
ings. At proper intervals during
the evening recitations were also
made by Misses Lillian Wilds, Ida

speakers all acquainting themselv-
