What Flour to Buy.

Housewives who have lived in other
parts of the country are often puzzled
to know which -four to order, out here.
If you want high grade flour, the best
and most economical, because it makes
the most loaves to the sack and of the
very best quality, order White River
Flour, always. 1t is THE high grade
flour of the Northwest. Those not
familiar with this flour should give it
trial while the distributors are giving
away sample sacks. They will give a
two-pound sack free with every full
sized order-one free sack only to
each housewife. This is certainly fair
offer and shows the distributors, Allen
& Lewis, of Portland, Oregon, have full
confidence in the quality of their goods.

SMALL FORTUNE
IN POTATOES.

Early potatoes mean much to the
farmers of South Jersey. II is begin.
nlng TO be thoroughly understood that
the late potato crop amounts to little
here, but the early crop brings to the
bank accounts of South Jersey grow
ers thousands and thousands of dollars.
The farmers are not dependent,
either, upon the New York or other
large city commission men. They do
NOS have to pay profits to statesmen
anywhere. The potatoes are sold
direct at the nearest railroad station
to the buyer and the producer takes
home with him the cash with his
empty baskets.
Within the Fast few years Elmer has
become one of the greatest potato mar
kets in the whole world. Thousands
OF carloads of tubers are shipped from
here In season, and many thousands
of dollars are spent at the station by
the buyers. These potatoes are
shipped pretty much everywhere
They go in quantities to New Eng
land. Maine buys many potatoes in
the early season, stores them and in
the fall and winter they come back
East again are sold hereabouts at a
considerable profit. Maine even
sends back to US some of the potatoes
in the Spring for seed.
How different is the potato growing
Industry to what it was but few
years back. Then a small acreage
was planted and they were gathered
from the hills by individual diggers.
Now hundreds of acres are planted,
and they are gathered by machinery.
One could not get sufficient farm helr
to gather them with a hoe.
One of the greatest potato producers
in tue country is Thomas M. Tice, of
Deerfield One can scarcely realize
what it means when it Is suggested
that he has 2l5 acres planted in pota.
toes. almost all of them the early
varieties. 215 acres means three ordi.
nary farms, as yet this vast expanse OF
ground is planted by Mr.. Tice wholly
in potatoes. Now is the season when
the market is on. Mr.. Tice has EN-
ployed upon his big farms 90 men,
and 30 teams are also working long
days in transferring the potatoes from
the farms to the station. one who
has some knowledge of the business
say that the potato crop brings to Mr..
Tice an average OF 800 per acre. That
would mean $21. 500 for his crop upon
his Deerfield farms. And in addition
to this remarkable crop Mr.. Tioe is
bringing potatoes in large quantities
from other shippers to sell into the
market.
There are good many hundreds of
acres in potatoes planted In Oumb ber-
land county. a good many more in
other parts of South Jersey. Great
strings of freight cars are daily being
pulled over the West Jersey aud Sea-
shore railroad. and every car is filled
with the tubers.

BRIDGETON HAD
CLOSE CALL.

Bridgeton started in. Tu ssdav. to
give Millville very bad beating and
for few innings everything pointed
toward walkover for The locals. then
slowly but surely the visitors began to
md Jacquot's shoots and before loug
sne score was tied, then, just in the
NICK of time, Sbatfer, who had been
told to warm up, was substituted and
their scoring ceased.
The game was good one and
Bridgeton outplayed their opponents
all the time.
Bridgeton began in whirlwind
fashion. After More had fouled to
Smith. Rowe beat out bunt, Reeder
lined safe one between short and
third, then Kaufman singled to left.
centre and Rowe scored from second
by sliding home, Kocher famed, but
Davis sent one through Zeigler, scor
ing both Reeder and Kaufman. he
then stole second and counted on
Novak's single to left, the latter took
second on the throw in but was out
going on to third.
That made four runs and the fifth
came in the second. More had two
strikes, and when Fleming threw on
hitting the ground, More struck at it
and as it escaped Smith he easily made
first. and after stealing second. he
scored on Rowe's two-hagger to right
centre.
That gave the home team big lead
and it looked safe as Jacquot started
Off in fine shape, but trouble began
in the fifth. Cossaboon lined one over
third and took second on Zeigler's
out, passed ball saw him to third
and McDe-mott scored Jesse with a
single. In the next Yerkes opened
with double to left, and went to
third on Smiths out; Boogar scored
him with a safe one over second.
Things came in punches in the
seventh, when with one down, Brady
hit to centre and then stole one of
che two bases taken by his side; Nc
Dermott then cracked out his two
bagger, whick was also his third hit,
and Brady crossed. Novak fumbled
| Fleming's grounder and the latter
stole second, Mac" was already
on third then Yerkes scored the pair
with single; at this junoture Shaffer
went to the rescue and stopped the
bombardment.
In the next round, Rowe was safe
on Zeigler's error, Reeder sacrificed
him to second and he stole third :;
Kaufman hit to McDermott and
Kocher grounded to Nagle, who had
replaced Yerkes, but the throw was
low and it escaped Brady, cred"
crossing with the winning tally.
Steve Yerkes was spiked in a mix. up
on slide to second, and he retired in
favor OF NagIe in the seventh.
The record for sensational one
handed catches was perhaps broken
yesterday by Reeder, who played left
as White is sick. Jack White lined a
corker to the northeast corner of the
field that looked good for at least three
sacks. but Reeder ran back and by a
jump pulled down the leather with
one hand, nearly up to the fence. 1t
was a beauty.
Both More and Yerkes did some
pretty work catching men stealing.
The Bridgeton boys were full of
ginger and played good game. They
will have to repeat it to-day when
Vineland is here and at their best, too.
