JOURNAL TALKS
k7O ADVERTISERS

IT don't understand why you charge
me a higher rate for advertising space
than you do those who buy space by
the year, said an occasional advertiser
the other day. II should think
you would adopt a fiat rate of SO much
per inch to all.n
There are two reasons why the
JOURNAL charges different prices.
The first reason is that the large and
regular user of space is entitled to buy
at the wholesale rate.
The second reason is that the con-
tract advertiser has deliberately made
an appropriation for the year. We
know just what to expect from him all
the year round and better still we know
that he is going to keep everlastingly
at 1t" which is pretty sure to bring
success.
1t is the steady, persistent all-the-
year-round advertiser who gets results
and it is the nan who gets results
whom the JOURNAL must rely upon
for its support in the future.
If you are prepared to plan your
advertising campaign ahead let US talk
to you about rates and results.
HOW ABOUT 1907 CALENDARS?
The JOURNAL has several hundred
sample calendars for 1907, both simple
and elaborate in design, which should
interest the business men who present
their patrons annually with a compli-
mentary calendar. Your business
card on a calendar is one of the most
economical ways to keep your name
before the people throughout the year,
besides the people appreciate the gift.
Call at the JOURNAL office, see the
samples and get prices.

desk here in Philadelphia. Although
most of my time is spent here superin-
tending my active business yet my
mind, between the acts, oft goes with
pleasure to beautiful Wildwood and
although | am a resident here |
always carry in my pocket the keys to
my Wild wood apartments and sneek
down a day or SO almost every week as
a sort of a safety valve for the relief of
business pressure. The JOURNAL this
week, Dec. 5th, is more readable than
usual from the fact it contains more
sliveu matter. The usual local paper
is "a dead onen from the fact 1t con-
tains SO much "ready made" matter.
The JOURNAL is not amongst these
'sdead Ones" Hope you will continue
in this live condition throughout the

SOUTH JERSEYS OYSTER LANDS
In South Jersey there is much ripar-
ian land important to the great oyster
industry that the State is fostering in
accordance with an established policy.
There are natural seed beds belonging
to the State and leased from the Ripar-
ian Commission. If monopoly can
get possession of this land by grant
from the commission it will be in a
position t~ocontrol the oyster production
in South Jersey, and it looks as if that
is what will happen if Legislature does
not take action to prevent.
Why the value of the riparian lands
off the State should be persistently
moderated by Riparian Commissioners
does not clearly appear. Private
owners of property and executors of
estates do not usually do that except
for tax purposes. They quote the
highest possible figures of value, es-
pecially when they.have real property
to sell.
The value of the lands in question is
moderated by some members of the
commission, it appears, and they OPP
pose the proposition to forbid future
grants from the riparian grounds.
Holding their value cheap, they would
sell them cheap If put up for sale
they'll not go a-begging, but willsurely
go to fatten the NAV of an oyster land
monopoly.

CARPENTERS YARNS

If Wildwood Manor, the new $780,
900 hotel in North Wildwood, had ears
it would hear many a .'fishyo yarn
among the seventy or more carpenters
at work on the structure. The follow
ing wonderful story was overheard in
the exchange n day last week.
"There was a man." began the first
carpenter, "in the city, working on a
high steeple. He had been carving
some design with his knife. when
suddenly the scaffold broke, and he
fell, still holding his knife in his hand.
While falling he had enough presence
of mind to think of the bad results If
he should happen to fall on his knife,
so he shut the knife and put it in his
pocket"
"Oh, mackerel p' said the other
builder, ''that's nothing. l knew a
carpenter once who was shingling a
high roof. He hadn't been working
long before his foot slipped, and he
started to slide off the roof. He knew
he would break his neck il he fell to
the ground, but at the same time
happened to think that he had a good
stout pair of trousers on; SO he simply
took a nail from his pocket, leaned
forward, and drove it into the roof.
Sliding down, his trousers caught on
the nail and his life was saved"

WHERE wAGE-EARNERS INVEST
The gross assets of the 430 building
and loan associations in New Jersey at
the end of the last fiscal year, October
31st, amounted to $61 1888, 1872, according
to the report of the State Banking
Commissioner. The membership was
2 ,513. During the year thirty-four
new associations were formed, a net
increase OF twenty-five. The increase
in assets was $4, $3.50. 1903, and in member
ship, 10,022, from the previous year.
More than $3.50, O00, 900 of capital
wealth in New Jersey is owned by
~wage-earners and is employed in all
kinds of business enterprises, and in
building operations. 1t Is doing an
important part in the development
our State and IN building up the Statd B
great interests. The building and io1i
investments are creating thousands !
homes and there are still millions
wage earners wealth in real estate in
New Jersey not reported by the State
Commissioner.
When times are prosperous saving
deposits and investments accumulate.
The thrifty add to their store. The
most encouraging feature of the State
Commissioners report is the number
of new investors in building and loan,
being more than ten thousand. The
same can be said of the savings banks
of the State, which now hold n
hundred millions of deposits.
May the time never come when
necessity shall compel the withdrawal
of these saving deposits and invest
ments to provide food for families.

OPPOSING INCREASING

VfFOSINd I~N0fSEhSINU
The opposition to the voting machine
seems to increase each year, and the
freak returns from some OF the districts
show that serious results are liable
when the machines are in the control
OF incompetent or dishonest town
clerks or election officers. Aside from
the novelty and interest in the machine
as a fine piece Of mechanism, and the
speedy returns after the polls close,
there is little that can be offered in
their favor.-Summit Herald.

THE OYSTERS FOE

Starfish, like men, love oysters, and
it is probable that the seas starfish eat
more oysters than the worlds
These little creatures, lighting on an
oyster bed, each choose a fat bivalve,
and sit down on him, wrapping about
him their five flexible arms, waiting
for the moment when he will open his
shell to feed.
When finally, the oyster does open
his shell the starfish squirts in upon
him a certain poisonous fluid that kills
him instantly. Dead his shell opens
wide, and the starfish begins a deli
cious meal. There is many an oyster
bed that yields far more of its product
to starfish than to man.

Give the Thieves Red Pepper.
Philadelphia Record.

The depredations of the English sparrow
appear to be limitless. Suburban gardeners
having watched beds of peas sprout. only to
be compelled to see them dug up and destoyed
by the much discussed with the dis omitted)
birds. One, however, has found remedy.
1t is this AS the shoots begin to show above
the ground they are literally sprinkled with
cayenne pepper, and this process is continued
daily until the bushes are too large and strong
to be uprooted by the sparrows. An amusing
feature of the subsequent proceedings is the
angry chatter of the birds when they swallow
dose Of the pepper.

manning necessary funds for administration

ton and con troll of the court; that the pro-
visions of the will may be construed, and, if

Another Electric Road Projected
Baltimore San of 10Th instant said: The

This route has been practically mapped out,

construction will be invited. The purpose is
ultimately to extend to Cockeysville: Some
persons think it may be an effort to forestail
the Towson and Cockeysville Railway, IN
which Messrs. ]. A. Shriver and David y.
Mcintosh are leading spirits. Residents in
Lutherville and vicinity are anxious for an
electric line. and will readily support such 9
proposition. From present indications they
may have two instead of one said one OF these
residents. The road in the interest OF the
United is to make direct connection with the
