Market viii be Backward.

"
= The heavy rains of the past three
days have had more or less of a de-
moralizing effect on the produce mar
ket, in SO far as Jersey vegetables are
concerned. 1t was the expectation of
produce raisers that all crops would
be early, but the thorough drenching
of the soil, accompanied by high and
cold winds, has had the effect of
chilling the seeds and plants. Several
days of hot sunshine are now neces-
sary.
The weather has set all early crops
back at least a week, and the conse-
quence will be that Jersey produce
will get into the market about the
first of May instead if the last week
in April.
Despite this condition, which is
rather sad news to Jersey produce
lovers, the market is full of Southern
delicacies, including straw berries,
yellow and green beans, cucumbers,
pineapples, radishes, tomatoes, aspar-
agus and oyster plants.
Jerseys contribution this week
comprises spinach, lettuce, green
onions and the harder products of
the garden.

NEXT SUNDAY
is ANNIVERSARY.

Bridgeton Odd Fellows will cele-
brate the e4th anniversary of the or
ganization of the order in America
Sunday, April Goth. The anniversary
coming on Sunday the local members
of the fraternity will probably cele-
brate the day by attending divine SER
vices.
American Odd Fellowship was
formed by Thomas Whildy in the city
of Baltimore, April 26, 1919, with five
members. Since then it has grown to
be the largest beneficial Institution in
the United States. 1t numbers to-day
about 100000 members, and has
spread into many European countries.
The lodges throughout the world num-
Der more than 10000. all under the
jurisdiction of the sovereign grand
lodge of the United States. During
its existence the order has expended
for beneficial purposes more than
800, 900, 600. It's present yearly bene-
ficiary expenditures are about 81, 600, :
900.
The order not only conducts its
charitable work, but strives by its
teachings to develop higher standard
of manhood and to bring out the very
best elements of human character.
The first lodge of New Jersey was
New Jersey Lodge, No. /, organized
in Camden. in 1888. The lodge is still
in existence, and is flourishing. By
the last report of the grand lodge,
New Jersey had 261 lodges with q

Rush Bottoming Chairs.

Recently there appeared an article
in one of the leading magazines say
ing the trade of Gaming or rush bot
toming chairs was dying out, scarcely
person could be found who could do
that kind of work. The article was
shown to William Ware of this city
who has done the work for years.
He wrote the editor of the magazine,
who published the letter in the next
issue. Ever since Mr.. Ware has been
receiving letters from different parts
of the United States asking about the
work and he has received chairs from
st. Louis and many parts of the west,
and is now quite busy with orders re-
ceived from the letter in the magazine.
