SOUTH JERSET8 FUTURE To those who have been on the BuH aide of South Jersey's marketable value for yean, and have looked with prophetic eyes to the day which in large measure now dawning, it u encouraging have a nationwide authority wake up to the wane possibilities and proclaim them to the world. In another column will be found la extract from an editorial In the Camden Courier containing th* opinion of Roger Babaon, the business statistician, as to the effect of the opening of the Delaware River bridge on Camden real estate. The only fault to be found with Mr. Babaon's opinion Is that It Is too narrow. He did not look far enough, for ga the Courier •ays. It Is not Camden alone that will profit, but all of South Jer-

••y.

That there will be a large Influx of business and population to Camden that will send real esUie soaring Is without question, but the movement will extend further. The natural growth of Camden aa a business center has had Its effect In driving population to. ana building up. the suburbs, such as MeniantvUle, Cullingswood. Haddon Heights and other places, and a further growth will give impetus to the tide and send It flowing further south, while many of the newcomers will themselves seek bom-<s this side of Camden. This movement of Population Is but one effect. More population means more buaim demands of every kind. Increased production to meet enlarged markrequirements. all of which means iezrenaed real estate values. Aa nearby farms are cut up Into building lots, the value of those left will be enhanced and land now waste will be brought under cultivation, and there are thousands of acres of such land In this end of the State. Had Ur. Babson been on the ground and made a short range survey of the situation, he would without doubt have drawn the ct"elusions that we have u to the outlook tor this section of New Jersey. As he was not. the opinion expressed by so eminent ms authority as to the effect of the bridge on Camden« future, cannot but call the attention of investors to the whole of South Jersey and prove a splendid

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT TEOMAS R. MARSHALL In the death of Thomas R. Marshall. who for eight years filled the office of Vice President, the country has lost a man of whom It h»a too few. While not a brilliant statesman. Mr. Marshall waa an able man. and like a nisnber of other public men who sprang from the soil of the mid-West, he was pose eased oi a large amount of good, common sense, rugged honesty and sound principles, which not only made him a strong man in his own State, but won him the esteem And respect. If not admiration, of all men who value sterling qualities regardless of

politics.

Mr. Marshall was a statesman of the old school. He believed the men who founded this governmen were abler by far than the statesmen of today and that if the government la to stand their Ideas and views must be adhered to. He believed that public office was a public trust and that the official not only the servant of the people, but of all the people and merely the agent of a political party. At the same rime he believed that the bedrock of the country's stability Is good citizenship. His views on these points, and which It would be well for all men to carefully consider at this time, are strikingly forth In this extract from a letter •rttten durl&a the fight for the

mall yearly In perfectly black envelopes That 165.000 In cash Is removed annually from misdirected enve-

lopes.

That fit,000 In postage stamps Is found In similar fashion. That f3.000.000 In checks, draft*, and money orders never reach Intended owners. That Uncle Sam collects $92,000 a yea r in postage for the return of mall sent to the dead letter of-

When is considered the amount

of mall dispatched dally In this country, these figures are not as stupendous as they look, but they do show a woeful lack of attention on the part of people In forwarding mall matter, and put the government to heavy expense trying to make good their blunders.

We believe that Camden offers a great opportunity for money making to those who have the patience to study the situation and good Judgment in making selections.” Babsoc's remarks are going to turn the attention of many Investors all over the country, to Camden. Such an advertisement could not have been bought tor money. No other Imaginable advertisement could be quite so effective. This great assured increase in wealth should be kept in Camden, for Camden Let the prosperity take Its roots In Camden homes and Camden industries, the homes and industries of all South For It Is not the city alone, not this county alone, but all South Jersey that Is to enjoy the great developments of coming years South Jersey has young buslm men wbo will be the big business men of tomorrow. Let them put their faith In South Jersey, plant their brains In South Jersey soil, nail this future down tight. Courage, brains and an early start—and later, the rich harvest.

How to Make Sea Isle City Beautiful

By RALPH ENDICOTT Sixth Grade. No. 28 Winner Third Prize of His Grade In TIMES Essay Contest Boys and girls may help to make a city beautiful by keeping off other people’s property and keeping of the other smaller children that are too little to under-

and.

Men can help by burning off the lots and cleaning up the streets so they will look beautiful, and chopping down dead bushes that are along the streets and painting their own bousee. Pave the main street. People who come through the city would then come back. To make our city more beautiful every one should keep their house* and yards In good repair. If people cannot afford to paint their houses often, everyone can plant a few floweia and keep things clean. One of the worst looking things In our city is the vacant lots full of grass and rubbish. If houses cannot be built on these loU they should be burned off and all brush and rubbish taken away. There could be many improvements around the station. The building coula be painted, cement platforms could be built, hedges and flowers could be planted. It Is very Important for a station to be painted, because that Is the first thing people see. Our school grounds and some property near It have been greatly Improved in tbe last year. This shows whs* can be done at a small coat and without much labo-. every person In tbe town did their part, the city would be more beautiful.

A *2,000,000 Word. Mature In Ho Hurry. Only Human Babies. “The Lord Have Merry.” Mr. Woodridge, new head of the Advertising Clubs of the World, says newspapers are the "pre-emi-nent advertising medium ur aelline merchandise quickly.” To tne real business man It Is more than that. It i.- the only advertising force that can u^Ud une. Repetition Is Reputa-

tion.

And only newspapers can give a reputation the repetition that creates value. Dollars put Into brick, motar, stell and glass will tear down. Money Invested In advertising, building up t name worthy to be advertised, will outlast all your factories. Ford's factories perhaps are worth fifty millions. The one word "Ford" Is worth at least Two Thousand Millions. South Africa, land that produces gold, returns to the gold standard. Imitating old Mother England. Down there, below tbe equator, tens of thousands rush to a new gold field. About times as many blacks as wbl es In the rush. But, needless o when the dust settles the whites will have the gold dust. What would hi.ppen to the gold standard and th: worl'd finance If this new gold Held should suddenly multiply by two, or ten or twenty the world’s .-old supply? That, however, will eurely not happen. All through the ages, white knen have cut each other's throats to get them, gold and silver have maintained their value, basjd on scarcity, with slight fluctuations. Providence seems to have arranged that for its mysterious reasons. This Is the only country that has any supply of helium gas worth while. We get it after It has leaked up through the earth and In pools of natural gas. According to Dr. Ellnd, chief of the Bureau of Mlnee, “It takes 20.000.000 years for helium to leak from minerals and rocks and come within our reach.” Many things happen In science that couldn't happen If this earth were only 6.000 years old. as was once believed. It took millions of years for evolution to change a creature as big aa a fox. with seven toes. Into the horse of to-

day.

It takes 20.000,000 years for helium gas to become available. It will take our aun 300,000,000 more years to cool off. A New York lady ran a baby farm. Tbe babies died rapidly, eKpeclally if their board bills were not paid. One poor Infant dug up after burial had a fractured skull. The rate of mortality was horrible. If anybody kept such a farm for baby dogs or cate, the “Cruelty to Animals Sock-ty” would probably supervise and regulate It. How does It happen that the so-called Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children knew nothing about the baby farm or Its deaths? Dean Inge, who doesn't like to be called "glockny,” Is In London, describing London. He says our “rushing energy is mostly poee" and the language we speak is something like the English language. On the whole the dean is friendly. In one of his essays he tells you that when St. Paul thought be was inspired he was really suffering an attack of epilepsy. If St. Paul could stand tnat. we ought to be able to stanjl criticism of our Yankee language. In Pennsylvania. William Cavalier, fifteen years old. and n murderer, has been sentenced to die In the electric chair. The sentence wound up with “And may the Lord have mercy on your eoul.” The report:r» thought the boy winced a little at that, and at the wordi about ’-‘Death—electric current— passed through body until dead." The boy smiled as he left the court and a few minute* later. In bis cell, he was playing a popular song, "Katerina." on his phonograph.
