pleasure to note the increased enthusiasm
and interest which is being manifested
In this sport.
A number of canoes are being over

striking appearance.
Boating is also enjoyed on the upper
creek where there are number of boats
to hire.
Since the new dam has been completed,
it has raised the water to its former
height, and has improved the creek very
much.
Nature has provided beautiful stream
in the Rancocas creek, and the citizens of
Mount Holly appreciate this fact, and
take advantage of their opportunities to
fully enjoy it.

the church, where she was always actively
engaged, when her health would permit,
in doing anything for the Master that her
hands could find to do. Her kindness of
heart and willing, sympathetic spirit won
her many friends who will sadly miss the
hand that performed so many acts of
kindness for them. Although an invalid
for years, since the death of her father,
Aaron Robins, about three months ago
her health failed perceptibly and this last
sickness took an unsupported turn which
resulted In her demise. She is survived
by husband, an aged mother and several
brothers and sisters.

FOR FLETCHER'S
G a 9 TO RIA
A WOMAN'S IDEA OF SUMMER
C0MEnQT-

COMFORT.
To every woman, especially the woman
who keeps house, the topic of summer
comfort in the home is one of never-fail-
ing interest.
This is particularly true where comfort
in the kitchen is concerned, as 1t is in this
one room that the most trying part of the
work is done, such as cooking, baking,
ironing, and heating water for wash-day
purposes Even In cool weather such
work is not altogether welcome, but it
becomes drudgery on days when the mer-
curry is trying to jump through the top of
the thermometer, aided by a hot stove
that diffuses its almost unbearable heat
through the kitchen.
But such days are past. With the New
Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil. Cook
Stove, kitchen drudgery becomes kitchen
comfort, for this wonderful stove is so
constructed that it not only produces quick
results, but does it all without perceptiblY
raising the kitchen temperature.
All this means real comfort to the wo-
man who works In the kitchen, especially
when considered with the added adYan-
tages in the saving of time; in the doing
away with all carrying of coal, wood and
ashes; in having a stove that can be turn
ed on or of, high or low, as required; and
in not having to keep it lighted when not
in use.
Then there is the saving of fuel to be
considered; and it is here also that the
New Perfection excels. Although equip
ped with three burners 1t has but one oil
reservoir, thus reducing three separate
filling operations to one.
