DISPLAY THE FLAG

THE PRIMARY BATTLE ENDED. Primary Election is over. What has probably been the most hotly contested election ever held for county offices came to an end on Tuesday night at nine o’clock, when the polls closed. Todsy the choice of the electorate for the offices of Assemblyman and Surrogate is known. Every true Republican will abide by that choice, regardless of whether it was his personal choice or not The factions of the Republican party must now work hand in hand, lo perfect harmony, at least until after the November election. In this way, and only in tins way, can the common foe be nceten, and the Republican candidate carried through to victory.

AN ADVERTISING PREACHER. Sea Isle City is blest with a preacher who believes In advertising. If advertising will bring to a business house, he argues, it will bring Chirsturns to a realisation of their duty to themselves and their neighbors, and bring them into < virch. Applying this principle t > his work, this advertising preacher has developed a congregation in a community in which ninety-nine out of a hundred preachers would have failed to even crate casual interest. When funds were needed to build a chapel, and later tn begin 00 the building of a church, our preacher advertised. In one week at least *.5,00o pieces of advertising matter were distributed, space in the newspaper- was used, sign boards were placed at every turn in the road. The result was a still greater interest in this preacher's church work, and literally a flood of gold as voluntary contributions to the church building fund. Does advertising pay? Ask Rev. John T. Gillison, pastor of the Messiah Evangelical Lutheran Church, Sea I&le City.

TAKE OVER SEA ISLE ROAD. The Cape May County Board of Freeholders have under consideration the taking over of Ijtnrfis Avenue from Matilda Street to Townsend’s Inlet The County already owns the road from Matilda Street north to Strathmere. and across Corson’s Inlet to Ocean City, and through Ocean City U 17th Street The Avalon to Stone Harbor rind is now owned by the County, the road in Avalon to the Inlet Channel is to be taken over. This will give the County a continuous road, from Stone Harbor north along the beach, with only the Townsend's Inlet bridge needed to make it complete. At the southern end of the County, the road from Wildwood Crest to West Cape May will be bui f t AE of these are steps toward the All-

Resort Ocean Boulevard, and each the hearty support and commendation of ev jry resident in the County. The Board wiil sit to hear arguments on the Sea Isle proposition next Wednesday. Let every resident turn out, and make it clear that he wishes the Board to take favorable action *on the project. The taking over of Landis Avenue, an unproved highway, will save the County the cost of building a new road

GETTING TRADE, FOR VENEZUELA. "As a result of a suggestion from the American consulate in La Guayra", so runs en official statement, the farmers of Venezuela have begun to ship corn to the New York market, eighty tons having constituted the firrt cargo sent. The duties of an American consul have not hitherto been thought to comprise activity in procuring goods to be sent to American markets to compete with the home product, no matter how high the prices may be which are prevailing in the United States—and which are said to have afforded the basis for the amiable suggestion of Consul Brett to our Venezuelan competitors. There is another phase to th-s situation which is also worth considering. The eighty tons of Venezuelan corn which are coming to New York, and all the other tons which may follow them, will be admitted through bur custom house free of duty; because the Underwood Democratic tariff law struck out the fifteen cents & bushel duty which the Payne Republican tariff provided as a protection to. American farmers. So that we And American consuls aiding foreign producers to get into the American market, where the bars had already been let down by a Democratic Congress.

CASHING IN ON COURTESY. Courtesy in business pays and pays big. in Ocean City there is a real estate office that does more business than any other; makes more sales, rents more houses, and is making its owuer more money. People wonder why it is that this real estate man has made s*uch a success of his affairs, when all around him men in the same business were quitting. Here is at least one of the reasons for this man’s success. In every letter that leaves his office, the following card is enclosed: The Office of Service. A few of the many things this office has done in the past and will do in the future for the convenience of its clients: Your electricity turned on. Your gas turned on. Your telephone installed. Your house ready for occupancy. Your first order of grocieries, ice, coal and wood attended to, if desired. All com plain ta listed, and attended to. Always Glad to Be of Service. He,e Is a little lesson that every one of us can easily learn. No matter what line of endeavor one is engaged in, it pays to be polite, courteojs and ever ready to serve

EARL GREY A FRIEND. The late Enrl Grey was a friend of America when such were none too numerous in the governing class in Englnad. His service as Viceroy of Canada was at a time when the aggressive designs of German militarism were in development, his term of office ending. : ndeed, in 1911, the fateful year of the incident o f n_ dir'and the “Panther”, when Belgium first realized her danger as the "buffer State” and began those preparations which stayed the progress of the Hun at Liege and made the later miracle of the Marne possible. Earl Grey has helped to interpret the American spirit to our British cousins. With him at Ottawa and with Viscount Brice at Washington, there was small danger of real misunderstanding between Great Birtaln and the United States; and we doubt not that he counted among the privileges of his life that it was prolonged until he saw American troops, under the Stars and Stripes, marching through the streets of London on their way to the trenches in Flanders where French and British allies awaited them.

GET READY FOR BOTH. A prominent New York financier says that h { s judgment is that this war will last six years, but his intuition is that it will last six months. We shall do well if we make our war preparations upon the assumption that it will last six years and prepare for peace as though we expected it within the next six months. Great Britain and France and Germany have already begun making preparations for the industrial and commercial competition which will begin as soon as peace has been declared. The University of North Carolina has decided to discontinue football until after the war— substituting military drill instead. A gvxi idea that should be followed elsewhere. Football furnishes exercise for a few students; military drill will furnish exercise for all
