U. S. LOOKS GOOD TO
NEWARK YOUNG MAN
BACK IN NEW YORK AND SAYS
AMERICA IS THE GREATEST
COUNTRY IN WORLD
A. R. Alexander has reecived the
following letter from his son, Dolph,
who has just returned to New Y'ork
after more than a year’s service in
France.
Dear Father.—1 guess you see what
has happened without me telling you.
I left Brest, France, on the 12th of
June and landed in Hoboken, N. J.
on the 20th. Wre were four days out
of Brest when the ship got a wireless
to go back and get the President of
Brazil off of a French battleship that
was unable to proceed on account of
engine trouble, and we were de'aytxi
doing that.
We came over in the second largest
ship afloat, the Imperator which is
919 feet long, and carried 1200 of us
boys. So you see that is almost a
floating city. Nothing unusual hap
pened on the water coming over. We
went from Hoboken to Camp Mills.
I stayed therr five days and was sent
to Camp Upton and was discharged
on the 27th of June.
On the 28th of June 1917, 1 vol
unteered in New York City, and
on the 28th of June 1919, 1 re
turned to Briar Cliff Manor, just two
years to a day, and the Manager was
glad to see me and Mr. Haskins says
“I want you to go to work to-night.”
I would have liked to come home
and I intended to have done that, but
as my job was waiting for me 1
thought 1 had better step into it, as
there are thousands of returning sol
diers seeking jobs.
When this hotel closes for the win
ter, I may go to Pasadena, Calif., as
Mr. Tatle is manager of holsterv
there and also one in Lakewood, N. J.
1 haven’t decided which place 1 will
stay.
I have had enough of rest and I
want to go to work and stick to it.
Well, my thoughts of France are
like the song. “The finest thing that
ever came from France was the ship

Miracles in Money
A city skyscraper seems a miracle in
steel and stone. But it is only a vast
number of girders painstakingly placed
together —a vast quantity of bricks
placed end to end and one above another.
Miracles in money are seeming miracles
only. You can work miracles in your
own life.
Saving Wins Success
You can have a big prosperous farm,
own a car, or travel wherever you wish.
Men who have really suc
ceeded spell it S-A-V-E. You
can win the same success.
You do not need a lot of
money to do It You need
no great education.
You need only the determi
nation to start now and con
tinue. Let us help you.

The woods are full of swindlers

money or Liberty Bonds for all kinds
of stock in oil wells, gold mines, fer
tilizer companies, and every imagin
able sort of proposition. It’s a migh
ty safe rule to invest your money at
home in something you know some
thing about. Unless you have money
to throw away, six per cent and safe
ty is better than a gamble on any
far away concern. The bigger the
profits that are promised on a prop

you will lose all that you put into it.

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE
HAROLD HALLBROOK
Our darling one is gone,
From this sad world below,
But over there his Soul lives on,
Where sweetest Zephyrs blow.
He had not long to stay,
Just two short years in all,
But let us hope that some swert
day,
We’ll meet where tears ne’er fall.
Gone to thy rest fair child,
Gone to thy dreamless bed,
While yet so gentle undefiled,
With blessings on thy head.
Fresh roses in thy hand,
Birds on thy pillow laid
Hastes from this dark and fearful
land, *
Where flowers so quickly fade.
Ere sin has seared thy breast.
Or sorrow waked the tear,
Rise to thy throne of changeless
rest,
In your celestial sphere.
Though many miles from us,
His little body sleeps,

cars.

\Mhere no one ever weeps.
And now dear Lord of all,
Help us to bear our fate,.
And when for us you make your
call,
We’ll meet him at the gate.

invalidate the Hazen district, either in
the law creating it, or in the assess
ment of benefits made by the commis
sioners, which it had been charged
were unlawful and unfair.

Come in let us show you some of the many advan
tages this mower has over others, and after we
have showed it to you and you do not think it is
the best mower made, we do not ask you to buy.
Come in next time you are in town or write for
