CLUB OF HARRISBURG
Motorists From the keystone

tanned by North wildwood
Automobile Club
OUR RECEPTION ENTHUsED VISITORS

The North Wildwood Automobile
club has added much to its popularity
as an organization by the royal man.
ner In which 1t entertained the visiting
members of the Motor Club of Harris
burg, Pa, on Tuesday, when that club
came to the island on their fourth re-
liability run. AT none of the towns
in which the visitors stopped was there
such generous hospitality displayed as
here. True, over the entire route of
the run from Atlantic City to North
Wildwood, the autoists from the Key
stone State Capital were given a u
ing welcome.
Over fifty cars of contestants and
membere took part in the trip to the
shore, and local autos met them on the
mainland and escorted them through
Holly Beach and Wildwood to the
checking in station, the handsome
home of the North Wildwood Auto
mobile club at 18th and Central ave-
mes. The club house was gaily deco
rated with bunting and flags of many
%colors, while its spacious verandas were
crowded with members and visitors
from every section of the island, who
greeted the occupants OF the incoming
cars with a lavish welcome. Within
the club house the visitors were enter
tanned with orchestral music and
served with a bounteous luncheon by
the Ladies Auxiliary of the club. The
visitors numbered ove two hundred
and they were all given a jolly time by
the members of the local organization
In the evening, in spite of the In
clement weather the club house was
crowded with members and theiI
guests who witnessed the presentation
to the Motor Club of Harrisburg, from
the local organization of a magnificent
trophy, in the form of a silver cup,
standing over two feet in height.
1t was by far the finest prize present
ed to the visitors during the run. The
presentation speech was made by w
Wayne Davis, president, of the North
Wildwood Automobile club, and &C
cepted on behalf of the Motor Club OF
Harrisburg in a jolly speech by q
Clyde Myton, secretary of the latter
organization. Later in the evening
the visitors were entertained at a re-
ception held in the grotto of the Hotel
Ottens where mirth and good fellow.

The club was presented with a num-
lbeFAof Pretty%cups at the different towns
and cities they passed through from

receiving one at Alloway, n at Sa-

The visitors on Wednesday morning
departed on their homeward journey
enthusiastic in praise of the hospilable
treatment accorded them while here,
and with an expressed determination
to not forget Five Mile Beach in their

A WAR STORY.
BY a Survivor.

y Up ERE is a war story told by a
fn survivor of Magruder's COM
n mand in northern Virginia.:
'Magruder's army was not
much more than 10000 strong. / reckon.
and it had to do some right sharp work
to stand off three well fed. well equip
ped Federal armies. each of them nearly
twice as large. Well. n day Magru-
der was out accommodating with his
staff In the Shenandoah valley. and he
stumbled across a likely looking plan
tation.
HE Sent his orderly off on the jump
to present his compliments to the mis-
tress of the mansion and tell her that
he and his officers were powerful hum
gry-would she be kind enough TO
give them some dinner? OF course she
sent back word she'd do her best.
Along comes a yellow haired young
soldier right after that. and he tells her
the same thing. 1t seems he was on
his way to join his regiment and was
covered with dust and looking tired to
death.
"sMy young friend, I'm doing my
best to get up a good dinner for Gen
eral Magruder and his staff. Get down
and come in. and If there is anything
left after they get through you shall
have it, said this h%ospitable lady
1.-The young chap was hardly out of
his teens, and 1t happened that he
came from one of the finest families in
Virginia. He ~dismounted and ven
into the house. Just naturally he knew
how affairs were conducted in the Did
plantation households, and when Ma
gruder and his staff arrived he did
some pretty tall scouting around the
dining room. As soon as dinner was
announced he marched in at the head
of the procession and took a seat mex
to Magruder. The general looked al
him pretty savage for a minute and
said:
"'Sir, do you know with whom you
are dining?'
THE young man looked at him just
as sharp and answered back:
"'No. sir, l don't. Before I Joined
the army l was mighty careful who l
ate a meal of v~ictuals with. but now |
make no distinction whatever
THAT settled 1t. Magruder looked
nettled for a minute and the2 burst
out laughing. So did the others. and
the dinner went on with everybody in
high good humor."

Letter to Dare Bros.
Holly Beach, N. ]


Dear Sirs: Two men on opposite
sides of the same street sell sausages,
one at 10c Id, the other at 5. Which
sells the more sausages, think you?
The answer is: 1t depends on the
street. There are plenty of streets in
the world where sc sausages go like the
wind.
Devoe is an honest paint; there are
eight honest paints, 200 adulterated and
short-measure: Devoe is the best ofthe
eight. Devoe has more strength than
the other seven. The painter adds gen.
orally a quart of oil to Devoe; he still
has a stronger paint than any other
one of the seven
The seven are sold at one price $1.75
a gallon; a common price OF second-rate
paint is 81. 80. 1t takes 8 gallons Devoe
to paint a small house, and II of aver
age paint; 8 gallons cost less than II;
the price IS more than offset by less
gallons.
It costs 50 to 81 a day to get painton
a day is a gallon; IS to $16 more to
paint the more-gallons paint: So to SIG
less for painting the less-gallons paint.
The difference in first cost of the two
jobs is $14 to $22 and which wears best
do you think? It's the l~ess-gallons
paint because of its strength.
There are plenty Of people to buy
those sc sausages.

In camp are the soldiers today,
Away from the grim and the CORY
That reddens the battles array.
The bugles and the drums are still.
The sword and gun no longer kill
The blue and gray.

On the graves of the brave the old story
OF love that shall live Away.
We cheer the heroes dead. and yet
The roses with our tears are wet

the fact most e~ffectually. He prob

amusing that modern up to date ma
