BRIDGETON.

Bridgeton surely needs something to
give its real estate a boost. Present sell
ing prices are far below the actual values
of the properties and it is a rare house
hat cannot be bought for about two
thirds of the cost of its construction.
Milllville property on the other hand, is
sold for highly inflated values as is also
that of nearly every other section OF the
county. Bridgeton's slump, however,
was caused by a one-time boom along
about ten years ago, the real estate mar
ket was up in the clouds and buildings
were going up at the rate of fifty a year.
By and by the panic came and a number
of spectators went down in the crash.
Down also came the price OF property and
it is but now beginning to get back to
it's one-time eminence. Had the property
investors been able to live through the
depression and retain their holdings, real
estate now would be worth more than 1t
ever was, even on the crest OF the boom.
OF course the market is very much
stronger than it was a few years ago, but
1t is still far below normal and will con-
I tinue to be so for some time. When it
/ does attain its proper strength, which
will be in a few wears 2EfaeeAuT; f.
will be as thdR4esult of a steady and de-
served advance and will therefore be in
proper condition to maintain values.
Bridgeton real estate is bound to advance
and no one can possibly err by investing
in it at this time.
Richard l.. Howell, like the erstwhile
popular Bill Bailey, has ''come home. y
Unlike his nomad1c comrade, however,
| he has not returned of his own volition
| but was brought back by the strong arm
of the law. Since his confinement in the
county jail he has given out an interview
| wherein he places the sole responsibility
for his defalcations upon himself and
totally exonorates the directors from all
blame in the matter. 1.-The fault was. -
he says, THAT they put too much con
tidence in me" and the truth of his re-
mark is but too evident. The whole
amount taken was not in excess of $l5, 600
and, inasmuch as he has conveyed prop
erty worth double that sum to them it
would seem that he is not as bad as he
is painted. OF course, his populations
amounted to over $50, 600, but the excess,
he claims, was paid out in unearned divi-
dends. This was done to keep the sus-
stockholders received anything less than
the regular dividends an investigation
would have been in order. The money
taken was used to develop Millville
industries and not one cent of it went for
outside purposes. 1t is the old story ovt r
again. A small sum borrowed to help
over a tight place; a failure in that and
a greater amount taken in order to keep
afioat and then a final day of reckoning.
He is entirely broken down and suffers
keen mental anguish. The soul of
uprightness and integrity for the greater
part of his sixty-nine years, his is the
greater anguish to now be behind prison
bars In company and on an equal foot
ing with common jail birds. His friends
have not deserted him and are willing to
render him assistance, a fact for which
he Is very grateful. Unless something
unusual in~tervenes, however, he will go
to Trenton Correspondence

AD ADimal Story For
Little Folks
The GentIemanBOa

There was once a wild boar who was
dissatisfied with himself because he
people so often mistook him for a pig.
81 am not a pig, though I do look
like one a little Bit" he said to him
self. land I do not want people to
think that l ana a pig. But what am
I to do? L can't run around all the
time crying, I'm no pig; I'm a boarr
81 know Just what I'll do" said he.
''I'll dress myself up and be a gentle
man, and then people will not only not
call me a pig, but they will see that 1
am a fine fellow"
So away he went to a hat store and
bought himself a black hat, and at the
tobacco shop he bought a pipe and a
bag of tobacco. He put on his hat
and he stuck the pipe in his mouth.
and, just as proud as a peacock, he
sat down ON a corner and waited for
people to come along and admire him.
But they came without admiring him
what on earth is that thingf" they
asked as they passed. And, strange to
say, nobody answered that that was a

H TOWNS TREES.
Some Useful Suggestions About
Planting and Pruning.

Planting and PruD1ng.
AS a rule the trees in n town have a
hard time of it, receiving little or no
attention. Unless they are treated with
an intelligent understanding of their
requirements they will not thrive. The
aspect of the streets cannot improve as
long as property wner plant a tree
or not in front of their property, as 1t
suits them, and retain full control of
It, chopping off limbs and otherwise
mutilating it, as they see fit. Entire
control of the planting and pruning of
shade trees should be taken by the
person who has knowledge of their e
quirements In time long rows of YER
dure would border the thoroughfares.
In a paper read before q horticut
tural softety recently some useful sug-
gestionS as to planting trees in towns
were gtfen as follows:
"It Mixes little difference whether
trees al planted in the spring or fall.
Dig ouS about a cart load Of soil and
fill in IN fresh, good earth, unless you
are pla ting in a locality where the
naturalN soil exists In its original purf-
ty. NevN r use rank manure, but you can
mix W.T. b the soil moderately manure
that is year or more old and well de-
cayed. Rod. nlanters think 1t better
that 1t b contact with the
roots, so unmixed earth Is first thrown
in to owe the roots.
Before planting 1t Is a good practice
to do SOM pruning. Just how much
Is determined by examining the roots.
All trees lose more or less roots In dig
ging. II but few are lost, but little
pruning of the top is called for; II
many are, a good deal of the top must
come away. Nonattention to this Is
the cause of the loss Of thousands of
trees. Numerous branches make more
mouths than the roots can supply, and
the trees die. Do not be afraid OF O
good pruning of the top. There Is an.
other reason for pruning at planting.
The trees may be unshapeiy, the
branches too low or the top spindling.
Pruning or cutting away of branches
to remedy these defects aids the roots
at the same time"

HORSE

A valuable horse belonging to John
Cooper, of Olivet, Salem comfy, met death
in a singular manner early on Friday
morning Of last week. Sometime during
Thursday night the horse got loose and
fell through a silo, which was about
twelve feet deep. At eleven O'Clock when
Mr.. Cooper returned from the school
meeting at Centreton school house he
discovered the horses predicament and
with a number of neighbors worked until
daylight getting the horse out. They
found this a very difficult matter and
did 1t by means of shoveling dirt in the
excavation, thus slowly raising the
animal to the surface. One of its hips
broken and the horse died shortly
after daybreak.

AMBITIOUS TOWNS.
Every Child Has n Bank Account In
Mons, Belgium.

N1Ohsp R<h8AuHns
Ambitions of towns are as remarka-
bic as those of men. OF course, nearly
every municipality desires to be pros
porous, have fine schools, libraries and
parks and increase its population.
Many go beyond these ordinary am
billions.
For instance, the town Of Mons. In
Belgium, is DESTROYS of a%bolishing pow
erty within its borders, says the New
York World. To this end every child
is officially registered as soon as 1t Is
born and a banking account opened In
Its name by the municipal authorities
with a deposit Of 20 cents. When the
youngster attains his majority. a little
nest egg awaits him to assist his start
ing in business.
Brock. In Holland, aspires to the dis
tinction of being the neatest town in
the world, and certainly no expense is
spared to make 1t so. The 2,700 inhab-
itants are go strongly bound by munich
pal rule that to throw a piece of paper
or waste of any kind In the public
street entails a twenty-five cent fine,
and it is only recently that horses have
been allowed in the streets. Once a
year every house Is visited by the town
cleaners, who scrub 1t from top to bot
tom, inside and out. without any ex-
pense to the tenants.
The chief desire OF Baroa. in Chile,
is to be known as a second London.
and within the last decade money has
been poured out like water to make 1t
an exact replica of the British capital.
The streets have been laid down and
named after those of London. while
four competent architects were sent
over to study London's principal build
ings in order that they might be repro
duced in miniature. Now, to crown
all, a sum of $1,500.O0O is being spent

THEY TRAVEL IN AN AUTO
Up-to-Date and Successful Chicago
Burglars Adopt Modern Meth
DDS Of Conveyance.

Chicago, June 23.--A red automobile
carried two burglars thru South Side bou-
leVard recently and the men reaped a
harvest. They called" at several homes
and from houses where the chauffeurs
stopped silverware and other yaluables
are missing. That the men were experts,
as well as inclined to be stylish, Is
evidenced in q report made by e. B.
Grossman to Lieutenant Mulcahy, of the
Stanton avenue police, In which he ex-
plains that the men used acid with which
they first tested the silverware and jewel
ry to first make sure Of It's quality Mr..
Grossman estimated his loss at $1,000.
Neighbors say two men rode up to the
house in the vehicle. and the police are
certain these were the marauders.
1t was shortly after IL o'clock that
putting. red automobile. containing two
occupants, drove up near the front door
way Of the Grossman home. Two men
wearing "natty auto" caps, and one of
them carrying small bundle, alighted
and walked up the front stone steps Of
Mr.. Cheeseman's home. The grip which
one of them carried contained the tools
necessary to force open window, thru
which the men entered the house. Inside
the house they made their way from room
to room, forcing open china closets All
the solid silverware was appropriated.
Several pieces which had been tested and
found to be plated were left behind.
It was not until this morning, when Mr..
Grossnan awakened, that he learned
What had happened. He stated that in
addition to the plumber secured they had
spoiled valuable rugs by dropping the
acid,
