Your Oft£ ana my Ha*;. Ami bow It flies to-day In your land and my land And ball a world away! aloM-rcd and blood-red Tbe stripes forever gleam; Snow-white and soul-white— Tbe good forefathers' dream; Sky-blue and true bloc, with stars to gleam aright — Tbe gloried guidon of tbe day a shelter through tbe night. Yoor bag and my flag! To every star and stripe Tbe drums beat as hearts beat And lifers shrilly plp^T Your flag and my flag— A blessing In the sky; Your hope and my hope— It never hid a lie! Home land and far land and half the world around. Old Glory bears our glad salute and tipples to the j

Your flag and my flag.' And oh. how much It bolds— Your land and my land— Secure within its folds! Your heart and my bean Beat quicker at 'he sight; Sun-kissed and wind-tossed— Bed and blue and white. The one flat - tbe great flag—the flag for me and you . Glorified all else beside—the red and white and blue!

Do We Make Ourselves Plain? Ouc of llie members 01 the Cape May County Board of Freeholders ha* notified the men "higher up" in the TimesCotupaut that unless the Times i “lets up ’ on the Hoard it would lo*c the county 1 advertising and what little of tlw county piiuliug it lias hitherto done. To sccutc piolrctien ,f«om pillage, hence extortion by means of intimidation, is what Webster culls blackmail. If the threat made to the Times were made by an individual, it might come undi this definition; nude by a member « f an elective public body, it cannot be called by anv particular name, but it is just plain blackmail, nevertheless. We do not believe that the member of the Board who made it his business to muzzle the \ Times was asked to do so by the Fieeboideni. either collectively or individually. We believe he acted entirely uj»ou his own initiative, and very unwisely. The Times has always been most friendly in its attitude toward the Freeholders, constructively ( criticising only when it was necessary for the public good. It will be itmemltcicd that the Times stood by the Freeholders last year dining the investigation by the Grand Jury of alleged reckless expenditures. When the succeeding Grand Jury passed a resolution condemning certain actious ol the Hoard, 'lie Times again look the side of the Frccholdeis ; when the agitation for a small Board was o:.\ and tbe election was held, both the Times ami its editor fought, and fought hard, to have the Luge Hoard retained as being a more representative and democratic imm of adminisieung the county atlairs than the small Board ; it will also be remembered that when the Bewspajvis of the lower jurt of Cape May Count' published double-column articles attacking the Board, the Times successful]; refuted every arguincut they advanced. Conditions have changed, however. I’mlcr the present leadership the Freeholders arc tend--lug to become expensive and inefficient as a body, and so long as this condition remain.' the Times will just as strongly oppose such actious

of the Board as are not conducive to the public good, as it has and will continue to uphold those hat are. The Times has always stood for right as against wrong ; for the sane and economical exjjenditure of public moneys as against wanton waste and reckless extravagance: for an open and above-board policy in dealing with public business as against a secretive asd "closed-door” method. Regardless of the threat to take away from us the little county patronage we have had the Times proposes to make known its stand here and now; that it will oppose the use of |>ateuted road paving nr.teriai on connty roads so long as there is a possibility of graft connected with it; it will oppose secret sessions, popularly known as “executive sessions,” of any public body; it will oppose the building of roads througli meadows to connect with tiulliing when the same money could lie spent to better advantage. It will oppose these things iu any public body, or in any individual who is elected to serve the people; in whom the sacred trust to judiciously exjiend their money is placed, and who, like Ca-sai’s wife, should uot only lie good and houorable, but ab.ivc suspicion. We have nothing against the individual members ol the Hoard of Firt holders as men; nothing against tneir pci-ona] or private lives, but we do, and most emphatically. !i .vc .1 grievance against them os a body to administer the affairs of the county when they petlorm an act that has even the suspicion o! irregularity about it And no intimidation or ihif-ats will make one iota of diflereuce in our attitude. *

The Department of Agriculture has issued ]tamphlcts icccutly, giving detailed iufuimatiou regarding the preservation of fruits and vegetables by canning or drying, copies of which may he had without charge at the Times office. This I is a valuable contribution to the food conservation movement, and will undoubtedly pioduce I vastly greatet results than the proposed evj>ciisive rood survey, which could uot be completed until there had been an entire change in the location and quantity of the food inventoried. In every agricultural community large quantities of fruits ate allowed to decay because of
