TURNING JERSEY FARMS INTO
VILLAGE LOTS.
The DIR. HI. C. Clark farm near Fitnan
sold to j u. Roberts.

Last Wednesday the deed of the transfer
of the late DR.. H. c. Clark farm,of slightly
over one hundred acres, near Pitman, to J.
B. Roberts, the big real estate operator OF
Philadelphia, was put on record in Glou-
cester County Clerks Office, the considera-
ton being $1l, 900.
The purchase of this land, by a person
whose business is the development of just
such tracts-laying them out into streets,
grading. curbing, paving, etc., leads to the
conclusion that such a course is to be in
augurated there.
Gloucester county, particularly on the
line Of the electric road, has much land
desirable for just such Development, and
the day is not far distant when the New
Jersey fields will he dotted with thriving
villages, regularly laid out and possessing
all the sanitary advantages of the times.
The DEMOCRAT welcomes these hustling
projects, and prophesies that Gloucester Co.
will prove profitable field for their enter
prise.

Raidinq Sunday ReVeIePs.

The Wouser Club is the title of one OF a
number of the boat house colony at Bill
lingsport. Well, this club had an opening
last Sunday, and while the "party" was at
its height, Prosecutor Rogers and num-
Der Of deputies appeared on the scene and
took the active members Of the organiza
zion into custody. These gave ther names
as August Bubeck, Of Kensington, treas
urer, and Alfred Anderson and Walter
Croft, Of the same section. who were tend
ing bar. The officers had intended to make
more extended roundup, but the crowd
was too numerous, and as the law will be
satisfied with Furnishing the leaders, the
crowd was allowed to go. Justice Cowgirl
committed these men to Jail to await the
action Of the Grand Jury.
The officers also coniscated six kegs Of
beer and several bottles Of whisky.
OF perhaps 300 guests Of the club, Sc
were laid out on the grass, dead to the
world, while the remainder were in various
stages Of intoxication.
In boat-house society, the proper thing
is to haye an opening. Tickets are pre-
pared and sold for ST., which eubitles the
holder to the freedomyof the club on open
ing day. In this case these tickets were
sold both in New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
and evidently all purchasers we're on hand
The club business has grown with gigan-
sic strides until it has become nuisance to
the people of the neighborhoods where To-
Gated. An idea Of the extent Of the club
business may be gained from the fact that
twelve car loads Of people came up from
the Delaware RIVER branch last Sunday
night.
| Many Of these clubs have been driven Out
Of Gloucester, and various parts of Camden
county and have continued their carous
sails in this county, and we believe it is tbs
! intention Of the authorities to suppress tht
| lawIess element.

Joseph 4. Carter on Tuesday had
the novel experience Of seeing a tur-

one recently referred to by one of your
reporters as we presume the species
with this characteristic is not numer-
Gus. While on his farm Mr.. Carriers
attention was directed by a bell that
sounded like a COW bell, but he found
it to be attached to a turkey buzzard
flying over his head 1t would be in
teresting for the individual who at
tached the bell to report how the feat
was accomplished.

The sale of PauPs Hotel.

On Thursday last, the 10th inst,
Harry Paul contracted to sell the old
hostelry in this city known as PauPs
Hotel, to VIM. F. Bouhl, OF this city,
for $3S, 500 An agreement of sale was
drawn up on that date, under which
Bowke paid Mr.. Paul $4,000 and agreed
to pay the balance, 800, on Tues
day, May 81, when Paul agreed to give
possession of the property, free from
all incumbrance.
Bouhl at once started out to Sc,
cure signers to an application for Ii
cense in the name of Augustus Prehl,
and fled same with the court on Mon
day the 10th.
Mr.. Dan1 f. Hendrickson is lessee OF
the house, and according to the terms
of his lease, has possession until June
/, 1909, and which lease also agrees
that he may at any time, within the
period the lease runs, purchase the
property for the sum of $4,000, and
pay for same within five years from
the expiration of the lease.
After Mr.. Paul had entered into an
agreement of sale with Mr. Bouhl, he
requested Mr.. Hendrickson to sign a
release of his lease of the house and
all claim on same, to take effect May
ri, as though he was tenant by suf-
france.
This Mr.. Hendrickson declined to do,
believing his lease and the agreement
gave him all the rights stipulated
therein.
On Tuesday, the 21st, Mr.. Bouhl
rendered to Mr.. Paul the bal
ance of the purchase money accord
ing to the terms of the agreement OF
sale, and that gentleman acknowledged
that he could not comply.
Mr.. Prehl has withdrawn his appli-
cation for license for PauPs hotel from
the flies of the court, and Mr.. Paul and
Mr.. Bouhl have amicably adjusted
their differences.

The Long Polar Night.

Generally speaking we figure Europe
as being wholly within the temperate
zone, but when we come to Investigate
matters we find that North cape, the
most northerly point Of Norway, IS in
the shadow of the north pole. At that
point you can see the midnight sun
in all It's ghastliness. that great luni-
nary being constantly above the hori-
zon from May to Aug. 8, or just one
day over three months. But the long
wintry night makes up for this 100
days Of constant sunshine It begins
on Sept. % and constantly increases
81 length until Nov. 8, when the polar
night commences In earnest, the sun
never appearing above the horizon
from the last mentioned date until
Feb. 5, one day less than three months.

lNExcusAHLE HOG LOSS.

The experts In charge of the Iowa
experiment station have recently Is
sued a pamphlet In which they state
that If every hog raiser In the state
lost an average Of five pigs last year
1t meant a total loss Of $5,000,000 for
the state as a whole In actual farm
profits. And if like loss were sus-
tained in all Of the hog raising states
the grand total would be enormous.
They attribute the widespread loss in
this particular branch of husbandry to
Improper feeding, largely corn diet,
before narrowing and unsuitable and
insufficient quarters at narrowing time
and after, difficulties that with care
could be easily remedied In addition
to corn ration, some Of which is all
right in It's place, they recommend
bran, shorts, oats and tankage. The
quarters should be dry and furnish
protection from the weather

SENSIBLE SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

SENSIBLE SCHOOL DIRECTORS.
The subdirectors Of nearby town
ship have taken a long step in the So
luton Of the vexed problem Of a
scarcity Of teachers for the rural
schools by raising wages from $40 per
month for autumn and spring terms
and S32 for winter terms to uniform
level of $35. These directors are to
be commended for their good sense
and discrimination. They realize that
the cost Of living has been steadily
increasing during number Of years
past while under the most favorable
conditions the country schoolma'a am
can lay by only d small portion Of her
earnings. Then, too, their action Is to
be commended because they believe
that their children are worthy Of as
good instruction as their farm animals
are Of proper care and rations. The
scarcity of teachers over the country
is going to result In similar action by
many other school directors.
