Grassy Sound Bridge

The work of constructing the new
railroad bridge over Grassy Sound is
rapidly progressing. The Pennsylvania
railroad generally does its work well.
"The bridge will be one of the best
pieces of bridge construction on the
coast is the testimony of a local con-
tractor who has built bridges. 1t is ex-
pected that trains will cross the new
bridge in October. 1t will be about
four feet higher than the old bridge.
The pilings ARE so to 80 feet in length
and are all creosoted. For the piers,
pilings have been driven. Caissons
were then lowered and the water
pumped out. These caissons were then
filled with cement. They will last
many years and be as solid as rock.
The bridge being higher than the old
one, will allow many of the smaller
craft to go through without turning
the draw. Those who have felt timid as
they went over the bridge will soon be
able to ride across the new structure
with a feeling of perfect satisfaction.

Quickly consummated Land Sale

Charles Mace probably broke all rec
ords for celebrity in disposing of a pair
of lots. He is always fond of telling
jokes; he counts this n Of his good
ones. Early in the week a stranger
came to him to buy a pair of lots. He
wanted to see a map of the new Mace
tract. When it was shown, he select
ed two out on the front; these lots were
unimproved, in fact, at high tide they
are IL feet under water. The stranger
asked the price, which was given
at $1,000 for the pair. The cash was inn
mediately forthcoming, a receipt was
given and the stranger departed.
Hardly had he gone. when a repre-
sentative of the Standard Oil Co. arriv-
ed and presented a bill for $500; this he
paid. Then learning that that the auto
belonging to his daughter had just
been destroyed by fire, he planned for
the purchase of a new Ford a with
the balance.

Base Ball Notes

Wildwood owes a debt OF gratitude
to the managers and ball players who
have provided entertainment for our
summer guests. This game has arous-
ed an interest that is nation wide. It's
popularity in Wildwood has been at
tested by the presence of thousands to
witness each game played. Men,
women, both young and old, and chill
dren sought vantage ground from
which to witness the contests. Many
paid admission to observe the game
from the grandstand, which at times
had Its capacity tested. The players
proved their ability and interest by
winning nearly all the games played.

 It is a matter of intense grati1- cation for everyone interested in the institution to know that during the first three months only a very small taken advantage of the privilege Of withdrawing from their deposits and in most cases the withdrawals have been to meet pressing need for money.

BE A "STICKER"

The advantage of the ability to act instantly, decisively and with conf dence, the habits of self-reliance and and decision developed-these are far more important ends of economy than the mere wealth acquired.
 You will know what this means if you have had the experience of losing opportunities and taking back seats generally by not having little more money than just enough to live decent, ly. How many times have you hesi tated and vacillated about making a purchase of something which was real ly a bargain just because you were afraid you couldn't make ends meet if you spent the money.
 It is another confirmation of the Scriptural statement that "To him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath"
 Avoid such situations and enable yourself to become confident, self re liant and capable of prompt decision by building up reserve fund which will be storehouse of power for flu ture needs.
 You can do it if you are "sticker' and not "quitter."

But he has been a saver and found there was $125 left in his savings account. He bought a fruit and news stand with that money. He is 30 years old now, the stand has grown into a small store and Comics earnings are three times what they were as trainman. Where would he have been without his savings and his habit of thrift?
