BIG MEETING OF
BR|DGETON US

The Young Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union at their regular meet
ing last Monday evening, decided to
engage in a Membership Contest,
choosing as captains, Miss Clara Chap
pins and Mrs. Artie Hustled. The mem
bers of the organization will be di-
vided into two companies and the cam
paign wfffgcommence at once and con-
tinue for six weeks. At the expiration
of this time, the side securing the most
members will be rendered a reception
by the other side. This will be the
third membership contest in the his
tory of the Y's and it will, no doubt,
equal or, it is hoped, even surpass the
former ones.
Mrs. Florence Daley, at whose home
the meeting was held Monday evening,
gave very interesting report of the
recent State Convention at Newark.
Great strides in the temperance cause
were reported, though much remains
still to be done.
The Y's will celebrate their four
teenth anniversary on November the
fourteenth in an appropriate manner,
a committee of arrangements having
been appointed. 1t is expected to have
a speaker as one of the features of the
evening.
An invitation from Mrs. Laura Glib
son to hold the anniversary at her
home, was accepted with thanks.
A delightful evening is in store for
the Us and their friends on November
fourteenth.

PATRONS CAN
HELP CARRIERS
Arrange Receptacles for Mail
Matter.
KEEPS CARRIERS MOVING
Private Boxes for Mail Are a Great
Convenience to Householders
as Well as Carriers.

Many complaints are made by car
riers that they are delayed in the de-
livery of mail by the fact that there
are no letter boxes or slots in the
doors of their residences, hence they
have to ring the bells and wait until
some one answers the bell.
AS the carriers must complete their
round in certain time and delays
cost time, the assistant postmasters
at their association meeting in Allan
tic City recommended that all post
masters approve and endorse the cir
cular sent out by the Post Office De-
partment which reads as follows:
"By direction of the Post Office De-
partment, the attention of patrons of
this office is invited to the advantages
of providing facilities for the receipt
of their mail by erecting conveniently
accessible boxes, or cutting suitable
slots in their doors. Such attention
would enable the postmaster to give a
prompter and better delivery service
with the means at his disposal, since
the carriers can cover much more ter
ritory in less time If not compelled to
wait for an answer to their ring. Pri-
vate receptacles for mail are also
great convenience to the householder,
obviating the necessity of responding
to the carriers call at inconvenient
moments and permitting the safe de-
livery of mail in the absence of mem
bers of the household. They also
prevent the occasional necessity of
carriers proceeding on his route with
out delivering mail because of failure
to answer his ring within reasonable
time, and enable him to make deliver
les to patrons living on or near the
end of the route at an earlier hour.
tt has been shown by actual exper-
ience that the benefits derived by
patrons of city delivery from the use
of such receptacles far outweigh the
small expense involved. AS this Of
flee is interested in furnishing the
best possible service at the least ex-
pense, your compliance with the fore
going suggestion will be much appre-
ciated"

SOME WAGERS
ON THE ELECTION

some little betting is being indulged
IN upon the election that is now less
than two weeks off. There does not
seem to be very much money in sight
favoring the chances of Wilson for
Governor, while quite a little money
has been offered without any takers.
The principal betting just now is
upon State Senator in this county.
Prosecutor Fithian has laid several
small wagers on that Nichols will have
500 plurality in the county and more
than $50 in Bridgeton. County Detec-
tive Lore has one wager that Nichols
will have as much majority in Bridge
ton as Durham has in Millville.

GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mantle
ba, dated March Is, 1910 says: That
Germany is anxious to secure a share
of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal" The recent adj
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
on Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable development
of trade between the two Countries
is now certain. The great men OF
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With its present $780,
100000 bushel production of wheat
and all efforts to increase it almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of it's increasing popula-
ton, there is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
the Wheatf1elds of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc-
ton of the United States, and but
twelfth of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit of the demand for Canadi-
an wheat and they will continue to
join in the benefits thus reached for
a great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country, and from land that the Gov
eminent gives away in 160 acre
blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from s12 to
$15 an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, a former resi-
dent of Minnesota says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels of
wheat to the acre and had 80 acres of
it; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which had fax of which 1 got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres
in oats and got 20 bushels per acre
and 500 bushels potatoes on one and
three quarter acre, and can therefore
safely say that I had fine crop and
am well satisfied with my homestead"
He is considered but small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others, hundreds of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly
greater. The story of the experience
of American farmers in the Canadian
West is a long one. The time to go,
would appear to be now, when splen-
did selections may be made, and
where land can be purchased at prices
that will be doubled in couple of
years.
