ORDER POUND NETS RAZED Cape May County Chamber of Commerce Aroused by Mandate, Members of the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce were nroused to action to protect the fish industry in this section when, mt the meeting at Sea Inle City inst night, a letter was read from Frank C.

The letter further stated that a number of applicants are being held in the engineers office for permits for the construction and maintainance of [fish pounds during 1919 on Five Fath ‘om Bank Shoal, Stone Harbor Lump, Sea Isle City Lump and other points outside the approved areas off the coast of Virgina. In no case it is stated, will a permit be issued for pounds at any of these locations. Those hav» ing applications are requested to withetad them PSS odrentined Ep emaned ‘Several members of the Chamber, iicerem a Interested in the fish pound fhrocrem In Cape May County, declared that this is the work . of New York purse fishermen who ply in this seetion. The Chamber decided to send a request to Congressman Bacharach to use his best endeavors to have the privelege of fishing in this disputed ares restored. The Chamber did not take kindly to a request from representatives of the Bell Telephone Company to adopt a resclution asking the Government to retain control of the great wire systems until Congress shail pass laws to permit-proper and safe procedure to be followed by the owners of these lines if the property is turned back to the Government. The request was tabled. ~ meeee -- WEARING oF UniFrorm By DISCHARGED SOLDIERS Present law authorizes a discharged afficer or soldier to wear his uniform r Ca s home, within three months of the date of his ‘discharge from the service.

"THE DOUGHBOY" (Written in ‘the Trenches) When Uncle Sam decided That we would have to lick the Hum, And said a couple million men Would put this: on the run, 1, like a noble hero Enlisted on the spot, I pictured all the greatest deeds But this is what I got. |A dandy misfit uniform | And hat and shoes to match, | And itchy, wooly underwear That made me squirm and scratch. They sent me to a training camp And kept me there a year, And when they thought I had enough They shipped me over here. I landed on the shores of France Thank God-the trip was done, But little did T realize The worst was yet to come. T hiked ten miles-then rested And then hiked some more, My pack felt like a ton of lead My feet were blisterd sore. At last I reached my billet Twan fit for pigs-not men, They gave me Just a few hours rest Then mad- me Hike again. Then made me hike again. Made up of all Frenh care Te 40 Hommes and 8 Chevanx Which left. me full of scars. For eats I got comed Willy a= Tomatoes Beans and Bread, A bit of each three times a day "Till I was almost dead. Then at night the train would stop "Bout two or three A. M 1 hobbled out and slung my pack And started out to hike again, So it went for days and days Then came the sound of guns, Which brought to me the tidings That I was near the Huns. Now I have heard of trenches And all about the line, Splendid food and easy work They sounded pretty fine. But whn I got here all I found A ¥. M. C. A. in every trench To give the boys good cher Hand out smokes and things to eat Which they had brought out here. But when I got there all I found Was shell holes, mud and hell, ¥. M. C. As were miles away i sure was S. 0. L. ‘d atund on post the whole day long My body full of fleas. Often I would think of home ‘of iy mother dear, I‘ve wondered‘ what she‘d ever do I "pushed daisies" over here. hen one night the order came

To storm forth over the top, The artillery bombed barrages And machine guns all would pop. We met the Huns with bayonette 1 fought through whot and shell, A bullet caught me as I lunged And like a brick 1 fell. And as I lay there on the ground A yelling like a pup, Two guys came with a stretcher And promptly picked me up. They placed me in an ambulance With several other ones, And took me to a hospital Away from all the guns. They doctored me and nursed me Till 1 war strong and well, Then they put me on a train And sent me back to hell. Believe me when I tell you This life aint what it seems, For sniffing gas and duckin shells Aint fun by any means. I often wish the guys at home Who writ about this: stuff, Could spend a couple of days over here They soon would get enough. All these guys that tel of France So sunny clean and fair, I‘d like to bet all my coin That they were never there. I‘ve had iny share, Ive seen it all I know the game too well, You ask me what I think of it? I tell you frankly-Hell. All I can do is stick it out And hope from day to day, That soon T‘ll be aboard a ship Bound for the U. 8.

~ ADVERTISING THE TOWN Ambitious business communities play nowafor a bigger district, so there shall be more prosperity for everybody. — In these days of automopiles, trade can be drawn a long distance, freuently from larger towns. To grow as a trade center, a town must get a reputation as a live business place, with hustling erehants. * The most feasible method of creating that reputation, is to support your local newspaper in he effort it is constantly making to boost the town and to give the paper such a volume of advertising that the town looks like a real trade center. The public in the outlying country gets the significance of such a paper. — You never see a paper full.of advertising in a dead town. _ And when the merchants do advertise, you can‘t help feeling that it is a place with life and enterprising business, that the stores are anxious to please and working hard to serve the public. — You feel the merch :nts must be skilful buyers and systematic managers with a large volume of business, so that they can afford to give bottom prices. Merchants who participate in this kind of effort by advertising in The Star and Wave, get results in two ways. First. — They attract buyers interested by their announcements of specific offerings. Second. — They give nearby towns and the outlying country the idea that Cape May is a hustling, live-wire place, where the merghants are playing the game. — The spreading of that impression is sure to draw a new trade that will swell the entire business of the place, and make all property here more valuable.
