their farms were valued at before the
war. We knew others who bought at
high prices about the close Of the war,
and found that as prices of farm prod
uce went down they could not sell
enough to pay the interest on the mort
gage, and lost all they had. But farm
ers were not the only ones who made
money when prices went up, or lost
money when they went down. Manu-
facturerS found themselves unable to
sell their finished products for as much
as they had paid or agreed to pay for
their raw material. There is lesson
in this for farmers. If there is a boom
and a season Of high prices for farm
products, do not get excited over it,
with the expectation that it will last
forever. Do not contract obligations
that cannot be met if prices go back to
last years rates.-Exchange

DresssinpGeese.


To kill geese have a place where you
can hang them with the head down,
and then stick sharp knife through
the neck close to the head, and let them
bleed. This causes the meat to be very
clear and white After they are through
bleeding roll them up, one at a time,
in three or four thicknesses of blanket,
and put them into boiler of hot wa
ter, letting them remain there about
one minute, afterward lay them where
they will drain for about ten minutes
more. and pick them. They will then
pick very easily. It is the steam that
causes the feathers to loosen. 1t is an
everlasting job to dry-pick geese, and
this is sure process. The entralls
should be Immediately removed, the
head cut off, and the skin neatly drawn
over the neck and tied. AfterWard
place them where they will keep COOL
but not freeze.

1t is said that the longest litigation
on record was the celebrated case
known as the Bishop Demestra will
case" which was carried on from
176S to 1890. At the beginning of the
trial the estate amounted to $1,000, 900,
but at the conclusion there was only
SIS apiece for every successful claimant.
The case of Parker VS.. Dawkins, y
which began in 1923 and ran on until
1859, claims the second place in length
of time. The reason why this case did
not last longer was because all the
money involved was used up in ex-
penses and lawyers fees.

Dairy Competition.

The farmer who does not improve his
stock cannot compete in the market
with his progressive neighbor. The
butter from a COW which produces ten
pounds a week can be sold at 20 cents
per pound and give a larger profit than
the butter from COW giving only five
pounds week, and sold at 80 cents per
pound. The use of choice cows reduces
the number in the herd and saves labor
allowing also more room, while inferior
cows compel the dairyman to keep more
cows than he should in order to make a
profit.

Soil for Strawberries.

We think the soil has the most to do
with production Of large crops Of
strawberries and large berries. Sandy
soil produces the finest berries, but not
the largest or as many per acre. The
reason is plain to those who have tested
the matter. If you want large crops,
select your heavy soil, pillow and subsoil
deep, then repack the soil just as hard
as you possibly can, but do not work
while too wet. Strawberry roots will
penetrate the hardest soil, and will de-
velop the best fruit buds and produce
the finest berries. Constant and very
shallow cultivation is best. Sandy soil
cannot be packed so hard, hence it will
produce fine plants but not such large
crops of fruit.-Western Fruit Grower

A Homemade Furniture Polish.

An experienced dealer recommends
this polish for furniture with high
finish to the New York Evening Post:
To one tablespoonful of linseed oil
add an equal portion of turpentine. to-
gether with a piece of any pure soap
the size of walnut. Pour this into
vessel containing one quart of boiling
water, and let the whole boil for about
ten minutes, stirring it occasionally, so,
that it may be well mixed. This liquid.
can be used either warm or cold, but
experience teaches that it is more eff
fective when warm; it can be heated
several times before it will need re-
newing. Apply with a soft Tanner
cloth, we'll wrung out, to small por-
ton of the surface to be cleaned. After
the dirt has been well wiped off take a
fresh flannel to polish with, and a few
minutes vigorous rubbing will soon re-
store the wood to it's original brill
fancy.

German Coffee Bread.

To make the German "raisin' or
coffee bread, add to one cup of scald-
ed milk one-third cupful of shortening,
one cupful of sugar and half tea
spoonful of salt. When lukewarm beat
in one yeast cake, dissolve in one
quarter of a cup of lukewarm milk,
flavor and make stiff batter; cover
and place where it will keep warm and
rise over night. In the morning blend
beaten egg with the dough- add one
half cupful of raisins, seeded and cut
into pieces, and roll the mixture out
to three-quarters Of an inch in thick
ness, and put in a buttered dripping
pam. Cover and let rise until it dou-
bles it's original thickness. Brush with
melted butter, sprinkle with powdered
sugar and cinnamon, and bake in a
moderate oven a half hour. This bread
may be baked in a ring by putting the
dough into deep pie plate, having In
it's center muffin ring or a piece OF
stiff brown paper pinned together to
make a circle.

Farm Prices.

Farms are higher priced now than
they were a year ago in many loca-
tons, and are very likely destined to
advance in price as business grows
more brisk and prices of other things
are going up. We remember how it
was between 1861 and 1865. With wool
at 81 pound or more, -four at SIS
barrel land wheat in proportion, pork
10 cents a pound, butter 40 to 30 cents
pound, and hay $40 to $50 ton, it
seemed as if money could be made in
farming. Some succeeded in doing so.
We know farmers whose yearly sales

MILLVILLE VESSEL
IN GREAT PERIL.
The Schooner Gamma L. Mulfordo
In a Squall.

Millville, Aug. 9.-''The tug
- Maurice left Chester Tuesday
morning with a barge in tow for
Millville. AS she came down the
bay, she pulled up alongside the
schooner, Anna L. Mulford," /"
which is partly owned by people in
this CITY, and just at this time was
caught in squall. For a few min
utes the squall was very severe, and
the safety of the boats caused much
alarm. The tug received considerable
damage to her guards, and the barge
was badly damaged on her sides.
"The schooner "Anna L. Null
ford" was struck by lightning, by
which she lost her fore topmast and
fore topsail. The wind was some
thing terrific and picked up the
metallic life boat of the tug "Mau-
rice'' and carried it from one sideJo
the boat to the other with great force.
"The gale was so fierce at one
time that all on board fully believed
that the tug would be swamped.
Fortunately, it only lasted for a few
minutes-seemingly, one gust of
wind doing the whole business.
''The tug "Maurice" arrived in
this C ity last evening about 7
O'Clock, rather the worse from her
experience, but safe with all on
board. Captain Shaw said to a
newspaper representative that it
was one of the worst experiences
he has ever passed through during
his nautical career"

WILLIAM s. BURROUGHS
DIED MONDAY MORNING
Succumbs To An Attack of SttOm-
ach Trouble.

William S. Burroughs, we'll known
as glass shipper at the Cohansey
Glass Company'S plant. died Monday
morning at the Bridgeton Hospital.
He has been i'll but a short time.
Less than ten days ago he was taken
seriously i'll with what was supposed
to be appendicitis. He was removed
to the Bridgeton Hospital last Tues
day and on Wednesday an operation
was performed upon him. 1t was
found that he had complicated
stomach trouble, and he failed to
rally from the operation, dying this
morning at ten minutes past eight
o'clock.
Mr.. Burroughs has lived in Bridge
ton for some time. He came here
from Gloucester county and was an
exemplary citizen. He leaves a wife
and one child, and a mother. Mr..
Burroughs was one of the active
members of Central M. E. Church,
and class leader for some time.

"HOBOo CAMPS
ARE BROKEN UP.
Chief Kinkle Breaks Up Their
Happy Summer Home.

For some time there have been sew
eral camps of great, big, lusty
"Hobos" over at the head of Jeddy's
pond, and many people in that local
ity have been much annoyed by the
orgies of the gang
Complaint made to Mayor Hamp-
ton caused the executive to take
prompt measures to suppress the
crowd. He ordered Chief Kinkle, of
the Fire Department, on police duty,
and gave him orders to move the
gang.
The Chief, upon Investigation,
found that there were about thirty
five of the Coxey politicians in that
neighborhood, divided in three camps.
The camps were fairly laid out and
generally well stocked with provender
that had been bought, begged and
stolen. There was also abundant evil
dence that the tramps had been lib
orally supplied with drink. There
were several cases of beer bottles, a
two gallon whiskey jug and number
less empty ginger bottles.
The tramps were inclined to be a
little ugly when Kinkle told them to
break camp. He would not take any
nonsense, but the Hobos tried to
bluff, and said they would not 90.
Kinkle pulled his gun and gave them
a limited time to pull out or line up
for jail. The gang did not want any
jail in this sort of weather, and the
thirty or more pulled up stakes and
moved off.

RUSHING THE WORK.
Repairs Upon the Millville Line

The work upon the repairs of the
Millville pike Trolley line is progress
ing rapidly under the present manage
ment, and much is being accomplish
ed. The entire line will be run over,
new ties set, and the rails properly
bounded. The work was commenced
some time ago at the half way switch
and the gang headed this way. Dur
ing the day now, the line is torn up
little distance and passengers over
the road have to be transferred from
one car to another. Three cars are
out on the pike, one running from
this city to the point where the road
is closed, and two other cars do the
work on the other side.
The men are doing good work con-
sidering the weather. but of course
they are not pushed as they might be

CAMDEN POLICE
IN SHIRT WAISTS.
Mayor Hatch Shows His Good
Sense.

The Camden police have permission
to appear in shirt waist uniform un-
til further notice. The order was is
sued by Mayor Hatch, and read to
members of the force, at the various
police stations, at IL O'Clock yester-
day morning.
Many of the police Immediately
availed themseles of the privilege
and astonished the citizens yesterday
afternoon by appearing in their shirt
sleeves. But little adverse comment,
however, was made on the innovat-
ion, and many praised the Mayor for
his humane thoughtfulness for the
officers, who have been sweltering in
heavy coats and helmets.
The policemen are delighted over
the privilege, and to-day if the
weather is uncomfortably warm many
of them will be found resplendent in
neat shirts, minus suspenders and
coats

POOR ''KITTY" DRIVEN AWAY
The Domestic Feline is Not i'm

Il don't believe that there is a

the other day as he was looking over
an Innocent game of euchre. He
spoke sadly and evidently his.thoughts
were running back to the good old

without a limit.
Poker has been played in this city
for years. Away back in the sixties
the poker fiends were many, and all
Through the seventies big pots
and players came here from this
section of the country and Philadel-
phla, and played for large stakes.
Hundreds and hundreds of dollars
were lost within night, and then
the limit was introduced.
From then until very recently
poker fourished. There were numer-
Gus joints about the town, and the
head of the shop always had charge of
the Kitty 1t may be remarked
by way of education, that the kit
ty'' was certain percentage taken
from each pot or stake, to pay the
expenses of maintaining the room.
and recently the fines of the fellows
who were in charge of the joints.
Recently the local authorities have
been most vigorous, and the poker
players have had to scamper. 1t is
not much trouble for the police to
locate a poker room. The visitors
are all we'll known and they can be
followed without any trouble. Dive
after dive has been pulled by the
police and each time Judge Trenchard
has given the talent an object lesson.
When the worst of the push were sent
to State Prison, some people became
frightened and they are now keeping
out of the business here.
Those who are on the inside say
that the sports who play the game
for good fat stakes are now buying
trolley tickets for Millville, and that
the game aboundS there in a -four
ishing manner. AS yet the Millville
authorities seem to be somewhat lax,
and sa2e boys are not having much
trouble to get game any old time
But the authorities over there will
wake up after awhile and there will
be some surprises.
Bridgeton is remarkably fortunate
inst now. There are speakeasies here
unquestionably, but the number has
been reduced vrey considerably. The
Pioneer has always contended that
these places could be driven from the
dark places, and so they can. They
have been, and can be kept down

SALES OF REAL ESTATE.
Important Property Changes
Hands Saturday.

Sheriff William G. Hendee and Will
liam A. Logue, as Assignee, made
important sales of real estate. Satur-
day afternoon, in front of the Hotel
Cumberland.
The'Sheriff disposed of two proper
ties. One was in Vineland, a house
and lot, and was bid in by the COM
plainant, William w. Benthall, adj
ministrator, for $500.
Another property was the 50 or
more acres farm of Robert H. Dare,
on the Rosenhayn road. This farm
was started low-but was finally bid
in by Mrs. Laura Elmer for $500.
Mr.. Logue, as Assignee, sold prop
erty of Daniel Elmer. A large tract
on Broad street. upon which is
located the old frame dwelling, was
first sold. The piece contained some
thing between 10000 and 40, 900
square feet of land. Former Judge
Hoagland announced that there was
an encumbrance against this property
of S3500 with accrued interest, and
the mortgage must be paid when GER
tain notes were due. The Judge then
made bid of So and there was no
raise. The property was knocked off
to him.
Some eighteen acres of building
lots on Fayette street were then
offered. Mr.. Logue announced that
there was encumbrance against this
property of $4,000, and that at one
time S12, 900 was refused for the tract.
The bidding was not lively, however.
In small sums the bidding ran up to
S400 when Frank M. Riley, cashier of
the Cumberland Bank, became the
purchaser.

A REMARKABLE
FEAT OF YEARS AGO.
As Boys They Carved Their
Names on High.

Yesterday when the great gilded
ball was taken down from the spire
of the First Baptist Church, there
appeared carved upon it the name of
"Henry V. Camm.'' Just below the
ball upon piece of timber was the
name, indelibly carved, of ''Charles
E. Sheppard. Just thirty-two
years ago yesterday, August 10th,
1868. Henry V. Camm the druggist.
and Charles E. Sheppard, the law
yer, climbed to that dizzy height and
carved their own names. You would
not think it to look at the two now.
Nobody would imagine that Camm
could climb fat barber pole at this
time, let alone soaring aloft on
high church steeple, while Sheppard
couldn't be dared to go up more
than three stories without an elevat-
or. And yet as dare devil boys, the
pair clambered up and upward until
they arrived at the very pinnacle,
and there half way between Com
merce street and heaven wrote their
names with jack knife.
Both Mr.. Sheppard and Mr.. Camm
have secured the pieces of wood upon
which their names are carved. The
cuts are not fresh by any means.
Thirty-two years of sunshine and
storm have caused the carved letters
to turn almost black. but the lines
are clearly outlined in the timber
and they will be retained as SOU

VINELAND HAVING
SEWERAGE TROUBLE.
There is a Heap of Trouble
Over There.

Vineland Journal, Aug. 9.-We are
Informed that DR.. Cunningham has
repeatedly said that the Journal re-
fused to publish the Councils side
OF the sewer, paving and other ques-
tions, even as an advertisement.
The statement is unqualifiedly false.
No such article has ever been offered
for publication, and no request made
by Councilmen for such privilege.
If the opinions of the Journal on sew
eral Important local questions are at
variance with those of DIR. Cunning
ham and DR.. Halsey, it is no matter
for surprise as it will be difficult if
not impossible to find one intelligent
citizen out of ten that agrees with
them on paving, town hall or sewage
disposal. Whether such an article as
DR.. Cunningham has in his mind S
eye would be rejected, we are not
prepared to say. If in the judgment
of the editor it was ordinarily meri-
torious and calculated to conduce to
the welfare of the community, we
should give it a prominent place in
these columns, but if it sayored of
the billingsgate which DR.. Cunning
ham is so fond of using in his
harangues to Council, we should
promptly consign it to the oblivion
of the waste basket.
In this connection it may be well
to state that representative of the
Journal has made special request
of Engineer Potter at two different
times within as many months, to
furnish an authentic statement for
publication regarding the proposed
sewerage. system and disposal field.
Each time Mr.. Potter promised to
comply with this request, but has
failed to fulfill his promise.
