^the Ticket Scalpers
Freeport and other villages on the south side were visited Tueaday by agents from the Department of Jua¬ tice, who are securing evidence against persons who for the past six months have been prdTtteering in the sale of monthly commutation tickets. Early last Summer the .traffic had grown to auch an extend that the Long Island Bailroad Company made ad unsuc¬ cessful attempt to curb it, then the United States Govemment took a hand in it and the operators from the Department of Justice spent several days in Freeport and Rockville Cen¬ tre and seized nearly a hundred monthly tickets from barber shops, bootblack stands, tailor stores, shoe repairers and hotels.
This for a time put a damper on it, bot since September 1, many of the al¬ leged 'Hicket scalpers" have beeri do- ' ing a land office business. Tuesday Booming, one of the Govemment agents says he saw a basiness man of Bailroad Avenne, Preeport, hand out twenty commutation tickets, the ma¬ jority of which went to women. In RockviUe Centre where tho practice is not so heavy, another operator seised a ticket that vras owned by four women and had been used every day by ono of Ute four friends since the first of the month. One of the ni«n- bers of the commntation combine mst her nerve when accosted by the de¬ tective, who boldly demanded the (partly ptmched pasteboard and with.- «nt protest told who had b«en using it Dealing in commntation tickets on tha sonth side of Long Island has proved ^^ thriving industry to those ^ho are^ engaged in it In Freeport, automobiles and real eatate haa been

Urgea  Charity  aad  Patience—Over- whelased   at   His   0%jx   Loaa,   But Bears Up with the Sympathy at Hia People—Improviag  WhUe  Reating. Early  in  this  week  Rev.  J.   Sid¬ ney  Goald,  who has  been  spending several weeks, for his liealth, at Hot Springs, N.  C, wrote a message cf greeting to his people in the Presby¬ terian Charch and congregation, ex¬ pressing his regret that he coald not l>e with tiiem.    Later when he heard of the death of his son he wired:
AsheviUe, N. C, Nov. 16,191S. Alvin G. Smith,
Ocean Ave,, Freeport,'N. Y. I am overwhelmed by the news of Charles' supreme sacrifice, especially coming after peace. To know that my beloved people are with me in sympa¬ thy helped me to bear the hurt of it. Read my letter of yesterday to'them just the same.
J. SIDNEY GOULD. The article he had written waa ac¬ cordingly read jnst thc itame, ominp as a message from a man still strong in faith and hope to those he loved. We aro privileged to print it in full:
Hot Springs, N. C. Nov. 14, 1918. My dear Friends:—
It is a very distinct disappointment to roe that I cannot be with yon on the first Sanday of peace. What re¬ joicing will arise from millions of thankful hearts 1
It is a day full of meaning for the whole world. The whole fabric of na- terial power has gone down in hope¬ less defeat before the flaming sword of an aroused and embattling con¬ science. The great moral dictum "The Absolute Supremacy of Right," rul¬ ing Anglo-Saxon life has defeated finaUy, and let as hope forever, the idea that might alone establishes right. "Americanism is mightier than forty years of military prepara¬ tion." "
History will record in future years that England, France, Belgium and Italy stood throagh three uncertain years, undaunted in defeat becaase of their superior morale. And back of all power namely, the consclonsnees of the righteousness of their cause. The soldiers in the field felt, and the heroic seals at home felt, that it is better to die battling under a banner of righteoasness than to live and en¬ ter into whatever victory wrong may gain. And when America with her millions of intelligent men, her or¬ ganizing power, her capacity for fin¬ ishing what she begins and her en¬ thusiasm for democracy threw her¬ self into the struggle there eould be but one ending of the awful struggle. And God has been gracious in answer¬ ing our prayer for victory, for the es- tablishinf; of decency,honesty, humani¬ ty and righteousness on the earth. He has also spared to us our noble meVi. Never were such colossal issues set¬ tled by such gigantic armies with so small a loss of life and limb as fell to us. England, France, Belgium and Italy have not fared so well for they bore thb brunt of battle in the heat of the long day.
Let us out of our wealth and re¬ source and prosperity give them mora than sympathy. Let us give them of our substance.
Our rejoicing now in the advent of peace will be tempered with a con¬ sciousness of the serious tasks we must now assume.
We must wait patiently for the home-coming of our boys who are abroad. We must help them to main¬ tain their spirits in the tedious days of waiting. And so we must give boun-1 tifully to the associated causes that are appealing to as now.
We must helpEhigland and Belgium, France and Italy with food, and to do that we must eat less during this Winter and conserve more.
We also owe a duty to the con¬ quered peoplea. We have conquered them morally as well as in a military sense. Let us maintain that moral ascendancy by good deeds. There must be no hatred in all the stem meaaores meted oat for their punish¬ ment. We must remember that the German people were the viotims ef a govemment that has been vanquished. The deeds the^ have done have come as the ripe f^it which occasion has shaken from the tree of their false philosophy.
We have now to supplant their evil with good, and we vriU do it. Wa wiU not give them a stone when they cry to us for bread. We will rightly with¬ hold the mill that grinds tine flour and the oven that bakes tiie bread Ieat they exercise their old selflsh gread, but we will give them bread, even if we have to deny ourselves.
In all these tasks I hope soon to be with you, dear friends, in the usoal

About twenty boys, volunteered to help distribute a "last minute appeal" to the people of Freeport to support the drive
Breaks Foot in FaD
frcHtt Telephone Pole
While Frank A. Moran was working on a telephone pole in front of the residence of Charles D. Smith, West Merrick Road, on Monday moming, the llth inst., he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He tried to get up but could not, so crawled to a tree and waited for someone to appear. He was finally heard shouting by some neighbors, wlio went to his assist-' ance. A car occupied by Joe Eustace and Gus Grady, which was passiitg, stopped and took him to Dr. Runcie's office, where it was found his left foot was broken in three places. He was taken to Nassau Hospital for further examination^
Frank is getting along nicely but will not be climbing telephone poles (for the New York Telephone Com¬ pany, by whom he was employed) for some time.

Sharpshooter Offers
Medal for Soldiers Woric
On Saturday evening last, during one of those informal dances at the Elks' Club Moses Feltenstein, with his usual eloquence, started a drive for the United War Work Campaign. In the lagging of subscriptions, Capt. M C. French, Machine Gun Batt,' 13th Infantry, who is an Elk of McPber¬ son, Kansas, Lodge No. 602, took from his coat an honor medal for sharp¬ shooters and presented it to Mr. Fel¬ tenstein for auction. After lively bid¬ ding, Hiram R. Smith bought it in, and in his hearty, honest manner said with deep feeling, "I cannot take this honor medal from you, my boy," and in spite of the gallant captain's protests, pinned it back on hia coat amid great applause.
Of snch material are great men made. The captain thanked the lad¬ ies and gentlemen for their hospitality and related the sacriflces made by his boya to buy their Fourth Liberty Loui Bonds.
The patriotic music rendered by the Chib's orchestra was particularly fit¬ ting for the occasic.i. It was an event worth while remembering.

The Headquarters will be open all day and in the aftemoon coffee and sandwiches will be provided. If any of our readers wish to send up fruit, nuts and candy it will help us make the day more holiday-like for the boys away from home and friends.
Coatributions
Our _ neighbors continue to show their interest in their work and the following contributions are noted on thc duty book:
Henry Wagfner, 80 Hillside Avenue, 46 records.
Mrs. Ida Summers, milk.
Holmes Narwood, 2 cartons ciga¬ rettes.
puring the time the rooms were cl^ed we sent 1,200 cigarettes to the camp hospital, and passed on 200 to a group of'Soldiers on a hike.
abroad, it will be good news to learn that a plan has been worked out whereby, without the label, the near¬ est relative may send a parcel to Americans serving with the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Colum¬ bus and other similar organizations connected with the military forces in Europe, and to individuals serving in the armies of the Allies, as well as to the boys in the Army of the United States. Upon application at the Red Cross rooms the plan will be explained and arrangements made by the in¬ spectors.
With the exception of a few special articles, which have been assigned us to make, surgical dressings will be discontinued, but every other form of production must be continued. Espe¬ cially is there imperative need of re¬ fugee garments, and there is much knitting to be done.
Since the stimulus of the great need of our boys is lessened, there may be a tendency for many to lose interest in the work. But workers are needed as much as ever, and it is hoped that the splendid morale of our Red Cross will be preserved.
The   Freeport    Branch,    American Red Cross, acknowledges with thanks the following contributions which have been made during the past week: Anonymous 6.00

Goal Was TWHigh
in War Work Drive
The figures are not all in at this time, but it looks as though Freeport would run from |4,000 to $5,000 be¬ hind in its drive for funds for the United War Work Campaign. The committees have worked hard, and no possible criticism can attach to their work, but it was simply impossible to reach the goal. The village was can¬ vassed thoroughly, and everybody giv¬ en an opportunity to contribute.

FOUR AUTOS SMASHED IN MERRICK ACCIDENT
Two Ford towing cars, a (Chalmers touring car and a Reo runabout were badly smashed, and another Chalmers touring car slightly damaged in a ser¬ ies of accidents at Merrick Road and Hempetead and' Babylon Tumpike at Merrick starting Sunday night and ending early Monday moming.
At about 11:30 a Ford, westbound, license No. 133,602, containing two men, two women and a small child, and a Chalmers car east-bo^nd. li¬ cense No. 063,637, containing three men, one a naval oflUcer, collided. The Ford was partly overturned, and bad¬ ly smashed, although apparenUy none of the occupants seriously injured. The Chalmers car continued to the op¬ posite comer, evidently out of control, where it struck a piece of pipe pro¬ truding about 12 inches from the ground, at the edge of the sidewalk, which smashed the front end of that car, in addition to the collapse of a wheel. Here also the occupants es¬ caped serious injury,
It is claimed the gas light at this comer was not lighted, that the collis¬ ion had extinguished the tail light on the Ford, and that the wreck was left lying part way across the road.
The owners of the first cars had scarcely left the scene when a Reo which \vHa driven by the owner, Mr. Wirsching, of 2665 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, crashed into the wreck of
the Ford with sufficient force to again i 	
send it upright Losing control of | Mrs. Louis Lord who was operated the car, it crashed into a tree on the j UP°" «<• ^^^ *>on»e o" Sunday night, opposite side of the road, and was so ! though suffermg pain, may be said to badly damaged that the owner was I tx* 'lo'nR «« well as may be expected, forced to abandon it.
At the meeting on Tuesday eveite ing an Ace Medal was presented to Scout Rinaldo Phillips on behalf of the National War Savings Committee for his good work in the War Savings Stamp sale. Scout PhiUips has sold over $1200.00 worth of stamps.
Services at the local episcopal church on Thanksgiving Day in answer to tho president's and governor's appeal at 7.30 and 10.30 A. M. A Celebration of the Holy Communion will be held at the early service and the ordinary service of thanksgiving of an hour's length at 11 o'clock.
Some time later another Chalmers car driven by John Kamensky of Ja¬ maica, with a load of soldiers for Camp Upton, struck the wreck a glancing blow. This car was not bad¬ ly damaged and kept on its way to Upton.
The final contribution was nearly daylight Monday moming when an¬ other Ford, No. 131,476, filled with sol¬ diers for Camp Upton, hit the wreck, and that was added to the casualty list and abandoned by the roadside, so that when day broke, four cars were lying about the corner, or holding up nearby trees. So far as could be learned, no one in any of the cars was seriously hurt, the injuries being con¬ fined to cuts and bruises.
Sometime during the night thieves visited thc wrecks and took about everything that was loose, including all the good shoes from the wheels of the cars, even to the extent of un¬ screwing a small clock from the dash¬ board of the Reo car.

000 acres of marsh lands belonging to the Town of Hempstead and private individuals were commandeered for target practice and aerial bombing purposea, seriously interfering with oyster and fishing industries.
Black and white buoys were an¬ chored in the waters of the bay near the camp, intended for the purpose of teaching the air pilots and gun¬ ners how to drop bombs and shoot on the objects below. When the orders came to break camp and the exten¬ sive building activities came to a standstill, it was hailed with joy by the oyster planters. Although paid for their products, absence of the cul¬ tivation of the oyster beds, they claimed, was damaging to the future supply.—Eagle.
Freeport Young Woman in Marine Corps Reserve
Miss Margaret Hatzel, a 19-year-old stenographer of Freeport, who is sec¬ retary to (Teorge Morton Levy, a well-known member of the Nassaa County Bar, applied to the recruiting station in Manhattan for enlistment in the Marine Corps Reserve, and was accepted.

Congressmen in northern States have been elected practically without oppo¬ sition, never before in the history of Congress has a man ben sent to Wash¬ ington with such an endorsement as has been accorded to Congressman Hicks. He has established a record for bis majority is tbe largest vote ever given a Congressman in the ^ole history of American politics.
Mr. Hicks' record from the first is unique and in comparison with Tues¬ day's result, almost unbelievable. In 1912 he .was defeated by 4,800 votes, coming out of the campaign the wor^t defeated Republican who ever ran for Congress. In 1914 in the final count, his majority was 10 votes, and as a result of this narrow margin a con¬ teat was instigated by Mr. Brown, the defeated eandidate. For 14 montlu the caae was fought through the Stat* courts. After Mr. Hicks had been de¬ clared duly elected and had taken hla seat, the contest was transferred to Congress, where after months of in¬ vestigation a unanimous decision waa rendered, sustaining Mr. Hicka.
In 1916, running again .igamst Mr. Brown, his old opponent of 1912 and 1914, he was elected by 12,730 votea, the largest majority ever given any eandidate in the district for any of¬ fice. And now in 1918 comes the ma¬ jority of 61,000 which establishes un* only a district and State record, bat a National record as well.    Hail! «1]
Yesterday  she  received    order    and
trftnsportstion to report for^uty at j hail to you, Congressman Hicks!
