Sixty carloads OF luscious strawber-
ries have been picked. loaded and ship

right to be proud of the fact that
Bridgeyille supplied more strawberries
than any other place and with the in
creased acreage of the fruit for next
year the yield win be even greater
Monday, May 20, was the banner
day Of the season, when sixty car
loads. were loaded but Saturday, May

work the crate manufacturers got
over $1,000. and the farmers were paid
thousands of dollars for their berries.
Such a large amount Of money sud-

true Of Bridgeville town property. The
most desirable farm lands sell at $3.50

bring $50 to SIS an acre at forced sale.
The strawberry season has been sue
loessful and the weather conditions for
harvesting the crop have been the best
for several years. The prices of the
berries have varied and while some of

MEAV[R'S
AXE AGAIN FALLS
Chief of Philadelphia High
ways Resigns at the Ex-
ecutive's Request
CRIMINAL ON THE POLICE FORCE

Philadelphia, June Sat the request
OF Mayor Weaver, William II. Brooks
chief Of the bureau OF highways. re-
signed from office, the resignation TAX
ing effect Immediately. Mr. Brooks is
the first bureau chief dismissed under
the new political conditions inaugu-
rated by the mayor. His successor has
not yet been named. For the good OF
the service" is the reason given by
Mr.. Weaver for asking the resignation.
Mr. Brooks had been in the highway
department upwards Of 10 years. He is
well known throughout the state, as the
present state liquor license law bears
his name, he having introduced the bill
IN the legislature while a member Of
the house Of representatives.
The new directors OF the departments
Of public safety and public works are
making a thorough examination OF
their departments. Director Of Public
Safety Potter discovered that a police
man who was recently appointed had
been arrested once for larceny, once for
highway robbery. four times for breach
of the peace. three times for drunken
ness. and served two years In prison
for assault and battery. He was imme~
diately dismissed from the service as
unfit TO be on the police force"
Colonel sheldon Potter, director OF
the department of public safety.
started 10 swing his own axe, and his
first "chopping bee proved to be big
blow to the l00-odd Republican clubs
scattered throughout the AZ wards.
He notified every oficeholder in the
seven departments under him that
hereafter they need not mahe the usual
political contributions 10 such clubs,
and also that membership in such clubs
will not in the future be considered
necessary TO hold public positions or
the means OF obtaining preferment or
promotion in the public service
II is not in the wholesale dismissal
Of useless oniceholders, however, that
the mayor will strike his hardest blow
at the organization, but rather in the
Investigation into the manner in which
municipal contracts have been awarded
IN the past the United Gas Improve
ment company's financial dealings with
the city; the padding Of the assessors
lists. and the part played therein by
the police: and the manner I'm which
street railway franchises have been
distributed In recent years by the or
ganization-eontrolled councils.
Mayor Weaver is now probing into
each and every one OF these questions,
and the probe will go deep. So deep,
IN fact that il is likely to bring to the
surface revelations that will shock the
entire community and land some men
behind prison bars
The possibilities involved in the IN
vestigation into the matter Of fraudu-
lent registrations alone are vast
Should the police. under the persuasive
influence Of Assistant Director South
elect to tell all they know about the
padding of assessors lists. and the men
who ordered that work done. It would
give the courts something 10 do for
months to come and insure honest elec-
tions in the future.

ton being Lumbrook ON the b. d o. rail-
rood The tracks are about one hundred
yards distant and as there are side tracks
and other rail facilities there will be no
trouble about handling tho men and sup-
plies.
The work Of this encampment will be
confined largely 20 the extended order
drill and outpost work. This, IL Is be-
neved. viii he Of the greatest benefit and
there will bo but few close drills Most
