Above the shouts of command and encourage ment, the roar and shock of the great guns, and all the swelling tumult of battle which bear the husband and father to a hero's grave and a martyr's glory, there rise the weeping of the bereaved wife and the cries of little children deprived of a father's love and care. American fathers are now on the battlefront* of France. Many must fall; how many de pends upon us who remain safely at home. A single Liberty Bond will help to save a soldier's life, your soldiers life, and bring him home in safety to those who hold his life far more precious than their own. THIS SPACE PAID FOR AND CONTRIBIil ED BY E. J. G FADER at 8.30. The door prize, a five dol lar War Savings Stamp, has been donated by a friend. The com mittee would be very glad to re ceive similar gifts from friends who wish to contribute to the Building Fund and at the same time help the government. WAR SONGS AT CLUBHOUSE Old And New Enjoyed By Everyone fected the crowd somewhat the Although weather conditions af Community Sing held at the New Century Club last evening was a splendid success, who led the singing, before the R. P. Koehler, performance was over, had ever one "limbered up" and in the mood of the music. War songs were the order of the evening, and many new lilting tunes were heard local ly for the first time at the "Sing." Among special features on the program were choruses by school children, "It's a Long, Long Trail," and "Pack up Your Troubles"; songs by little Miss Mildred Steel, aged five, "Over There," "Where do we go from Here," and "Keep Your Head Down"; solo, by Mr. Steel, "What are We Going to do to Help the Boys"; solos, by Mrs. Arm strong, "Just a Baby's Prayer at Twilight" and "On the Road to Home Sweet Home"; solo, Mr. Earl Ewung, "Liberty Bell, Why Don't You Ring Again"; solo, Mrs. Cann, "We're Going Over." The old song, "When You and I Were Young, Maggie," was sung by Prof. Hay ward, the audinece joining on the chorus. Song after song, called for by members of the audience, was en tered into by everyone. j Squibs Theirs to do and die— Ours to go and buy. When an individual, an institu tion or a town becomes satisfied with itself, get the undertaker. Champ Clark said wisely that 1 Republicans were ftolng as much toward winning the war as Dem ocrats. Buy a Bond and take hell out of Wilhelm. We have had Time on our hands for years but not until recently did it run down at the heels. Somebody has let the Monkey out again. Granting for the moment that Senator Saulsbury is a w'onderful man, a statesman, a politician de luxe and all that, it must be ad mitted that he is no Marvel. This, with a tinge of Gray on the ho rizon, makes promising an interest ing day. If we could close our eyes and for one brief moment catch a glimpse of the boys in the trenches "over there," an honor flag would dot every school house in the land. Let me be serious a moment. In this day of strife and strain, when men and nations war, when boys go out from home, when mothers pray, can't we forget social posi tion founded on wealth,—forget petty jealousies based on small town growth—forget in the "name of boys at the front our small frays of tongue and wit? I say, can't we forget, when nations bleed white and our boys go out to give their a!! for ns and ours?

I have one of the largest real estate agencies in Chester. Pennsyl vania, where over 50,000 highly paid shipyard and "Steel workers, are employed. I am also building up a very large farm agency business covering Southeastern Pennsylvania, Eastern Maryland and Dela ware, with offices in Newark, Delaware. I CHARGE NO COMMISSIONS Unlike most real estate agencies, I make no charge to owners of farm property for my services in making sales. I pay the owner of the prop erty his full price, free and clear of all expenses and charges. My method of handling property makes it necessary for me to have the exclusive agency of the property for a specified time so that I may be justified in advertising liberally, printing and mailing descrip tions of the property to prospective buyers, and showing same by au tomobile service. If you have land for sale, write me full description, stating price, when possession can be had, etc., and if it appears desirable I will promptly make final arrangements for selling.
