When you hear of a home
that has hardwood floors upstairs
as we'll as downstairs-especially
parquetry foors-you can general
ly set it down for fact that here's
q home selling around the ten
thodsand-dollar figure.
Our l4th and Perry Street
homes have parquetry floors up
stairs as we'll as downstairs-have
freplaces in both parlor and din
ing room. instead of only in one
room-have four porches instead
Of two porches-haye extra deep
terraced front lawns and extra deep
rear yards.
But the price is not ten thousand
dollars, not eight thousand dollars,
or seven thousand. or six thousand
dollars, but exactly $500.
And you have the privilege Of
our easy payment terms-in fact,
these terms are allowed on all
Of our homes-and the price is
the same whether you pay cash
or take advantage Of the easy pay
ments.
A cash outlay Of $500 is all that
is required. The payment Of this
amount makes you the owner, and
you can secure immediate occu-
pancy. The easy payment terms
are less than such a home would
rent for.
This is the last of our l4th
Street development, which has in
cluded over $50 homes. As We
told you the other day, many peo-
pie claim that this is the best value
Of the entire development. al
though il that is the case. it was
not intentional on our part, but
merely the result Of that improve
ment which experience makes pos
sible in home-building.
TO INSPECT-Take any l4th
street car going northwest. Get
off at l4th and Perry sueets. and
you are right at the properties.

DECLINE IN SHAD FISHING

A fisherman Of Paulsboro, y. j.,
commenting on the decline Of shad
fishing in the Delaware attributes
this fact to the oil which is found
in great quantities on the surface
of the river.
up to about ten years ago. - he
says, water men considered the
Delaware river water good for
drinking purposes. They would
fill up their casks when they got
below Gloucester. Now we do not
consider the water drinkable. We
fishermen believe the oil is the
cause Of the shad not coming up in
great numbers.
Should the government build a
ietty from Chester Island to the
New Jersey shore it will probably
mean the beginning of the end OF
shad fishing on the Delaware.

Though Out Numbered
South Still Controls

Washington, D. c., Nov. 26. :
1t has just been discovered by
statisticians of the house that for
the first time in the history OF
the lower branch of congress the
democrats of the north will out
number their party colleagues of
the south. Never before has de-
mocracy drawn its main strength
from north of the Mason and
Dixon line, but as the investiga-
tors figure it the party will have
in the coming house 152 northern
democrats and only 140 from the
south. In party caucus, in case
of a split on sectional lines, this
would give the northerners a ma
iority of twelve. By reason of
longer service, the southerners
will control virtually all of the
important committees and thus
practically will be able to direct
the business Of the house.

Boil Weevil Crosses
State Line Next Year

Atlanta, Nov. 26. A year ago
last September the Macon Tele-
crap conducted its now famous
boil weevil campaign to acquaint
Georgia cotton growers with all
the known facts concerning that
ineradicable pest of King Cotton.
The prediction was then offer
ed, substantiated by State Ento-
mologist Lee Worsham, who was
member of the Telegraph party
and DR.. w. D. Hunter, of Dali
las, the government expert, and
the greatest living authority on
the weevil, that it would strike
southwestern Georgia two years
from that date, if che dispersion
continued at the normal area
annually.
1t is still the belief OF MIR.
Worsham that the weevil will
cross the Alabama line and in
wade few counties in the state
next year, unless unforeseen con-
ditions stray it's approach. This
invasion will be light. and may
not effect more than a half dozen
or even fewer counties. but
| it will mark the beginning OF
Georgia's great fight against it
From preliminary reports of the
government bureau in Dallas the
weevil is now approximately two
thirds of the way across southern
| Alabama.
Mr.. Worsham is preparing to
wage his campaign Of prepare
ton with renewed vigor this win
ter and next year. He began
work last winter in the south
western counties by forming cot
ton clubs among the best taEn.-
ers in many counties. These clubs
are working toward improved
varieties of cotton and early ma
turing kinds. 1t is well estab-
lished fact now that the greatest
agency against the weeyil and
the surest way to get a good yield
in spite of it is by growing cotton
that natures before the Weevil
begins to get in his deadly work.
1t is the fear that for period
of years at any rate the weeyil
will completely knock out sea
island cotton in this state, hence
Mr.. Worsham is concentrating
his energies now on getting a
long staple maturing early
enough to beat Mr.. Weevil to it.
