DUCK WAS TAGGED A full-grown black duck, shot byj Charles Morgan, of Cape May Court House, on January 31, the last day ' for shcoling ducks, was found to I have on its neck an aluminum band, ■ No- 1000868, from the United States ' Bureau of Biological Survey. Game , Warden William Steel, of Cape May Court House, who was told of Morgan's capture, became interested in the caseMr- Steel is of the opinion, based , oh the fact that the dude was banded _ one of the government bureaus, | , that some of the officials of that de- j . partment placed the band on the bird I and sent it off to get a line on its' , flight, feeling sure that, because of I the tag on the hird they would hear r later regarding the whereabouts of j the duck.

Lots of folks are now wondering whether Pay Up Week really does . pay — whether it really does get results that are worth while. One Ohio town made a test of this plan in an interesting way Ten large blank checks were prepared- , These were monster checks about four times as large as the ordinary bank check in size. Each was made out for ten dollars and made payable to ten different individuals and signed by ten different people. Each was to. pay ten dollars on accounts owed by the signers- The checks kept moving during Pay Up Week, nobody banked them until they fell into the hands of the' last ' holders at the close of business Sat- - urday night. One check had been endorsed forty times — thus paying $420 worth of bills. Another had passed through thirty-seven -hands, paying $370 in debts. A third reached forty people. one which had done the least work of all was endorsed eight times while the most used check of the ten | 'was so covered with endorsements j • that no .room was left for more and j , it had to retire from circulation bei fore the week was out with only ] seventy-eight debts paid! Yes, Ray Up Week works. It will I work in our town if we all get beI hind it, push it, preach it, and then jdo our best to pay as many of our I owfi bills as possible and as money i comes to us, keep it circulating, just i as the big checks were kept going in ! this Ohio town.

; AIR CRAFT CONTRACT PROBE i, e WAR DEPARTMENT AUTHORIZES , ! FURTHER AUDITS BY CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION WITH n VIEW TO THE RECOVERY OF OVERPAYMENTS 5 — '• I Washington, D. C-, Feb. 15 — It was " learned today from Hon- John H. ^ | Harriett, chairman of the Civil Ser- ; s | vice Commission, that the War De-|: f | partment had authorized further au- j ; r,dits of contracts for aircraft which j; were terminated by negotiated agree- j1 I meats during the latter part of 1918 j = !and early in 1919, with a view- to the !' I recovery of overpayments estimated ! i at $25,000,000. Mr. Bartlett said that the Civil:' Service Commission was interested [ t in this matter in connection with the i clerical work of the audits. He said ' p that he had been informed by the , War Department that three audits ' recently completed established overpayments for aircraft totalling $7,- j 871,000- He said that informal fig- [ ures obtained from accounting firms , i indicate that it would cost the Gov- ^ ernment a sum close to $1,000,000 to ] complete the additional audits which are contemplated; that, by the use of | ; accountants obtained through the ( | Civil Service Commission's examinations. the three aud'ts completed, to- . tailing a recovery of more than $7,- i . 000,000, had cost the Government on- ( 1 ly $59,000 for all expenses of the audits, and that the War Department t further stated that the additional au- ( , dits could be performed by civil ser- t j rice employees for less than $150,-. [ 000, as against the $1,000,000 asked ' j by private auditing companies, to recover the estimated overpayments of s $25,000,000. * Mr- Bartlett said that the three au- ) dits which had been made by civil L 1 service employees had been placed in h t the hands of reliable public account- | . - ing firms by the contractors affected, j to determine the correctness and ac- . i curacy of the audits, with the result j i that all the cases had been declared , i flawless from an accounting stand- J i point, and could not be upsett 1 :l\ b i I ^ee <■ Arcola : l today i | and change now to health- f , I ful hot-water warmth in \ your home.

WHY SINK THE NAVY • Someone at Washington has sug1 gested that one of the obsolete bat1 tleships be taken to sea and sunk with full naval honors, as some sort of celebration of the agreement re- ' cently reached between the nations to ' limit the navies of the world powers. ' To a casual observer this suggestion smacks of sentimental piffle and has no earmarks of hard-headed I common sense attributed to the American people, s As a matter of fact this nation has - advocated, and by the skill of its ne- - gotiation^ n* the Nation's Capitol , a ■ rational REDUCTION of all existing -'fleets. This action will relieve the > I stress of competition and guide the ■ I thoughts of other nations toward I peace while at the same time main- • I tain a naval status that is fair to 1 ' everyone concerned- This will give the nations a breathing spell and the I : peoples of those nations a chance to I I do something else besides pay taxes that ever get higher and more opj pressive. _ The United States is not scrapping ' her Navy nor disarming herself. If she even contemplated such a ridiculous measure we would be just in saying that her mental processes were deteriorating. While the United States has no thought of making war against any other nation she isn't ^ blind to the fact that a time may . come when self preservation will demand <t}iatshe have a Navy and one that wijl produce resultsNo Otie of the conference had any thought that the action taken there was going to eliminate wars for all time. In view of the facts the sinking with military honors of one of the fleet would be inappropriate, and a senseless sentimental ceremony with nothing to justify itGOSHEN ' Mr. and Mrs- John High are re'ceivin^ congratulations upon the 1 birth of a daughter, born Saturday, ' I M£h, 1922- ' The Misses Jane Smith, Belle Hewitt, and Maynard Powell, of Court ' spent Tues<lay evening with and Mrs- Thomas Hughes, at Cape May. ^ Mrs. Kate Bright and son, Linneaus, ami Mr. and Mat Hand, of Anglesea, -called on friends Sunday.
