The party is work- ing to get out a big enrollment for the state and presidential campaigns of 1920. Here are the committee's seasotis: '\Because-This is a govern- ment by parties, and only by enrolling can one become a member of a party '\Because-Parties are no better than the individuals who compose them, and only mem- bers of a party can help to form the policies of the party.

The annual school meetings in the districts in the villages of Baldwin, Merrick, Bellmore, Wantagh, Sea- ford, East Rockaway and Lynbrook will be held at the respective school houses on Tuesday, August 5. Bud- gets totaling $119,194.50 will be submitted for approval. Of this amount. $50,530 is for teachers' sal- aries, and $4,157.50 for improve- ments, In the Merrick district there are no trustees to be elected. The budget for the year is $6600, with $3790 apportioned for teachers' salaries and $120 for repairs. The budget in the Bellmore dis- | triet totals $9000, with $4500 ap- portioned for teachers' salaries and Mam F. Dean, Mrs. Julie Vail and Mrs. Gertrude 8. Jacobson, expire in the Wantagh district. They are all candidates to succeed themselves. The budget in that district totals $7525, with $3875 apportioned for teachers' salaries and $959.50 for improvements. The Seaford budget totals $5065, over half of which is for teachers' and $150 for improvements. Trustees to succeed Henry H. Greaf and Harry Livingston, whose terms expire, are to be filed, as well as the unexpired term of John W. Southard, resigned.. In the Baldwin district Trustees Dr. W. J. Steele and Henry Opper- man, Jr., will be candidates to suc- ceed themselves, their terms ex- piring. The budget for the year approximates $37,412, of which $800 is apportioned for improvements. The largest of the budgets is to start movements, but it takes organization to put them through; hence, work through parties in order to accomplish results. '\Because-The citizen who has neglected to raise his voice in party councils has forfeited the right to raise his voice against the mistakes of | the party. \Because-A party is respon- sible for carrying out its plat- form, and can be called to ac- count by its members if this is cannot be held responsible or not done, while individuals accountable.\ ate, signs have recently been d, calling the attention of the t to bear in mind that \The on the right has the right of and that an observance of le in cities, villages and on the ay would go a long way in ng the number of accidents result from the driver losing ad for the moment at some or road intersection, or in tight corner, The idea has so lled to Mr. Hugo that he may y it in the renewal blanks and the message direct to over half on automobilists in this state. he erection of warning signs, of the automobile clubs hout the state are using some or catchy phrase as. being remembered than the simple w BS RIGHT TO EDIT COPY \What kind of a newspaper have you got here.\ asked the traveling man who dropped into the grocery store to get a cigar. \\You've a lively little town, and I've usually noticed that a live town has a live newspap- er.

The Freeport play- ers entered with an impromptu line- up. and though playing a hard game were decisively defeated. The Allies had a well-balanced organization. | Edstrom, who did the twirling. pitched almost an air-tight game. The southsiders found little difficulty with the visiting pitcher, and with two runs as a starter in the first, the remainder of the game took on somewhat of an aspect of a track meet. The game Saturday showed the number of baseball enthusiasts to be increasing. The field was crowded with visitors. _ Adequate improve- ments had been made during the week previous, and the diamond was in excellent condition. A seating rangement for accommodating sev- eral hundred people had been in- stailed and protective wiring erected Next Saturday afternoon the Allies will meet the Bellrose team, game to be called at 3 p.m. The visitors have ma clean record and a hard game is pected.

Theodore Roosevelt, formerly @ lieutenant colonel in the army, will deliver an address, and Dr. John H. Finley, commissioner of education of the state of New York, also will speak. Dr. Finley has recently re- turned from abroad, where he held the rank of colonel, and was Red Cross commissioner for Palestine. The first engagement of the battle of Long Island took place at Battle Hill, in Greenwood cemetery, where Lord Sterling with but a small force stood off the British under General Grant, which numbered four times as many troops.

State cautions housewives against the use of canning com- pounds sold under various trade names. These preparations, general- ly sold in powdered form, usually contain salicylic or boric acid and act as a preservative. The food laws in many states in the union forbid the sale within the e of food which has been render- injurious to health by the addi- tion of harmful substances. However, these laws do not apply to frul vegetables, etc., preserved in t home and consumed there, 'The Loj land housewife, with her experi- ence in preserving and canning fruits, etc., knows that such articles of food can be glassed and kept in perfect condition without the ald of chemicals. Should she be inexperi- enced, by chance, she may obtain full information on canning and preseryv- ing by applying to the United States Department of Agriculture at Wash- ington for Its bulletin on the ject. If such articles are sold in this state, it is desirable that the atten- tion of the Division of Foods and Markets be called to such sales. The laws of this state require that the label shall state of what the com- pound is composed.

The plan to extend the village limits and include under city gov- ermment portions of Roosevelt and Baldwin is rejected by both the smaller village residents and those of Freeport.

'The total expenses last year approximated $185,1 Under a city form, it is urged, they would total at least $350,000, with few, if any, additional benefits.
