RICH JERSEY LAND
FOR RECRUIT CAMP
-1 -- r i i i i
6000-Acre Tract, Pointsville
to Wrightstown, Leased
by U. S.
DEFEATS CROP INCREASE
Offsets Advance in Productivity.
Less Fertile Land Might
i Have Been Used
J
For the great mofolllzntlon camp to bo
tiUbllshed here, thn United Stntrs will take
over between 4000 and B00O ncrea of the
richest agricultural land In Now Jersey.
Tha land selected for tho camp surrounds
Lewlstown and reaches to just cutslde
Wrightstown, which Is just beyond Mount
Holly, In Burlington County. It Is not mom
than twenty miles from Cnmdcn at Its near
est point.
New Jersey has waged n grrnt campaign
t tho appeal of tho Clovrrnmcnt to Incn-nso
the acreage under cultivation tlila year, but
the land required for tho encampment of
S5.000 men will far more than offiet the
increase.
About thirty farms will be used for the
camp site. These aro In tho most pro
ductive section of tho corn and potato bolt
nd the crops that could be harvested from
seed now In the ground wculd amount to
many thousands of bushels. Wheat Is al-wi
extensively grown, as is a variety or garuon
truck.
Wrightstown, at one end of the camp
ground. Is the center of a creat dairying
Industry and tho shipping point for inlllc
producers, the farms of several of whom
will be condemned for campInR imrnoses
The Qtnernmsnt, " '" understood, will
pay the farmers from 133 down to $25 nn
sere for use of their farms tho first year
nd $10 an acre a year thereafter, the
leases to extend one year after the war
The committee of land owners, who made
this assessment valuation, aro Benjamin
Marker, Samuel Bishop nnd Wilbur Davis.
The majority of tho farms nro occupied
by their owners and among these owners
today there was a general expres3lon of
disappointment at the War Department's
decision In favor of a camp at this location.
SELECTION' 'CniTICIZUD
As one farmer explained it, the owneis
re patriotic enough to b willing to sacri
fice! their home for the reeds of the Gov
ernment, especially n the compcns.-im i l
fair, but there Is considerable criticism of
the use of productive farm land for the
camp when thousands of ncres of pine land,
will drained and welt adapted to ramping
purposes, is to be found but a few miles
furthe Inland, and with even better trans
port facilities. ,
The farmers, upon receipt of news that
the War Department had actually ar
ranged for the camp, began Immediate
preparations to acate. Their crops will
be left In the ground for the army en
gineers to handle as they please. Owing
to the extensive Improvements to bo made
In the way of buildings, camp streets, water
supply, etc., few of these crops will reach
maturity. The camp. It Is expected, will
be ready for occupancy by August 15 nnd
a big corps of army engineers Is expected
to reach here this week to plan the opera
tions. Among the farmers who will give up
their homes are William Stevenson, Doug
las Stackhouse', Jackson Decamp, Thomas
Hartshorn, W.,HvDaJg, William Stevens,
Water Davis. Benjamin Harker, Sarah I.lp
plncott, Catherine English. Samuel Karl,
Harvey Cox, William Davis, Lewis Yerkes.
T. J. Piatt. John Davis. Samuel Bishop,
Benjamin Frailer. H. Klrtr, John Bishop,
J. H. Atkinson nnd A. II. Pnrker.
The site Includes vlnaally all of Lew
lstown and extends to rointvllle nnd
Wrightstown. The. State road from Cam
den to Lnkewood and North Jersey shore
resorts via New Egypt bounds one side
of the camp.
BIO WATER PROBLRM
Providing the wnter supply will tie one
of the biggest problems confronting the
engineers. The surface water from the
highly cultivated lands is not suited for
drinking purposes, nnd at best there nre
only three small brooks and" a small pond
on the site Several excellent nitestan
wells have been drilled In the vlclnltv. how
ever, and It Is understood that well drilling
will be one of the first activities of tho en
gineering corps.
To provide the necessary transportation
facilities to and from the camp, oltlcers
figure that It will be necessary lrtually to
rebuild tho railroad systems Lewlstown
Is the terminus of the little union trans
portation railroad, uioe other terminus ii
lllghtstown. It Is the only Independent
railroad In the State, its stockholders hav
ing .refused to sell to the Pennsylvania
Railroad on several occasions. Thr Penn
sylvania runs through from Camden via
Pemberton to Lcwlstown, and a spur of the
Pennsylvania, known as the Klnkora
branch, connects Lewlstown with tho Tren
ton division at Klnkora. A survey of these
lines has been completed and it Is under
stood that rebuilding of the roadbed and
double-tracking of the system to glvo tho
camp an outlet In at least three directions
will be commenced within a fortnight.

Investigate spurious labels, and I shall get
on the trail of this one right away. The
Typographical Union Is not opposed to con

Secret service men today began a search
for Socialists, pro-Ocrmans and other agi
tators who, they say, huvo tried to hamper
the selective conscription of one week from
today. One of tho chief lines of Investiga
tion followed a tip that a society of Phlla

In offices near Broad nnd Walnut streets,
had carried on an antldraft campaign In
Texas and other cities.

district registration boards who were ap
pointed by the Mayor These district boards
arc in no way connected with politics and
they will act In a supervising rapacity only
Fred J. Shoyer, of the Board of Regis
tration Commissioners, explained the duties
of tho "supervising registrars" to them In
tho absence of Mayor Smith, who Is In

No exemptions will be considered until the
names of enough men to supply the city's
quota have been drawn by chance from the
list of names registered one week from to
day. On registration day Itself, now seven
days distant, questions of exemption will
be taken up On registration day all men
of eligible ages will report at the proper
polling places nf their respective wards to
mako their statements. Later, the names of
the number prescribed for Philadelphia will
bo drawn by Jury wheel or some equally

Judge Your Car
What You Cannot See
Make a list of requirements such
as beauty, comfort, convenience,
horsepower and the like.-
Overland has won the verdict of
over 400,000 owners after a
comparison of such items.
If this is not enough to convince
you, then judge your Overland
by what you cannot see.
You cannot see the accuracy, the
minute care, -nor the patient
perfecting that are practiced
in Willys-Overland manufactur
ing methods.
But you may know tliat these
things are definite Willys-Overland
accomplishments else it
would never have been possible
for us to market those 400,000
cars.
You cannot see the quality in the
materials the scientific reasons
for designs, nor the proven
superiority of every part and
principle.

his plea Is grnntefi another name will .be
drawn from the Jury wheel as a eubstltute.
Registration In the voting places of the
city will be accomplished' without ft,h'tch'
It Is believed, because of ,the wide publicity
that has been given to the Government
rules, It has been 'emphasized that Im
prisonment without trie alternative of a fine
Is the penalty for disobeying the law,
Distribution of arm bands to Identify men
who register Is urged by the Federal Gov
ernment. The plan Is to clvo one to each
mnn nt tho tlmo ho files his name and other
i-tntn
But tho State public safety committee
to which tho Government appealed does not
know where to get meney to pay for the
bands. It Is estimated that they would
cost $10.000 one cent apleco for 1.000.000.
It was nnnounccd this nfternoon by the
committee that no arm bands would b
given to the men who register, as there Is
no authority or funds to provide them.
A sample band sent to the committee
bears tho Inscription, "This certifies that
the hearer has registered under the act of
Congress of May 15, 1017." The bands,
says the Government, should be not more
than three Inched wide and should be made
of light-weight cotton material, dyed
khnkl.
WHAT NOT TO US 13
"Do not use olive drab cloth, suitable
for uniforms, or cotton duck, dyed khaki,
which Is suitable for tents, as these ma
terials are needed for use of the nrmy,"
says tho Government request.
Motion picture theaters will flash on
their screens notices sent to them by the
public safety committee. They read:
GIRLS
You don't want your best fellow to be a
slacker
See that he registers June 5 for military
service If called
MEN
L'ncle Sam wants your names as candi
dates for military service
If you nro twenty-one years old and not
past thirty-one make yourself known to
the registrars on Juno 6 or somo one will
do It for you. .
Then you'll rank ns a "slacker."
The penalty for "slacking" Is ono year's
Imprisonment.
WOMBS
If you don't like slackers tell them so.
A man aged twenty-one nnd not past
thirty-one who doesn't register on June
0 Is a slacker.

proved by the committee, nnd recommended
as a substitute for the Senate bill with
several modifications. The Secretary of
Agriculture was shorn of tho authority con
ferred upon him by the House to comman
deer seeds, because of the doubtful consti
tutionality of such legislation Tho com
mltteo also struck out tho provision permit
ting tho Secretary to sell the seeds on credit
As the section now stnnds. the Secretary
would bo empowered to purchnse and sell
seeds for cash to relieve the reported short
