POTATO SHIPMENTS
ARE INCREASING

Farmers are pushing the potato crop
upon the cars despite the fact that the
price is by no means satisfactory. Buy
ers are taking all of the tubers that
come in to the stations, but prices are
averaging $1.80 to $1.9O per barrel.
Some really choice stock hit the So
mark yesterday, but not vast quanti-
ties were taken at that figure.
There was more activity about the
Shiloh Crossing than at any time this
season. There were a good many po-
tatoes bought at Greenwich and
shipped.
From the Shiloh Crossing station
last night thirty-three cars filled with
potatoes pulled away, while six cars
were shipped from Greenwich over the
Central road.
Plenty of cars are available and the
prospects are that more cars will go
out today and the prices will remain
about the same.
The potato train made up yesterday
afternoon should have pulled out of
Bridgeton about o'clock. The pom
derous engines succeeded in getting
the train out of the yards about IL
o'clock last night.

Most of the farmers in the Neck,

from Fairton, have cut hay crop nor

were hit hard by the early blight and
a conservative estimate is that not
more than 40 to so per cent. of a nor

DAILY Pioneer, July 30)

Bridgeton was threatened with
storm last night, a heavy electrical
disturbance being banked to the north
and east of the city proper.
At six o'clock last night heavy
clouds were banked all north of the
city and the thunder was ominous.
Lightning iercely shot through the
blackened skies and few felt that the
place could escape a disturbance of
unusual force. The storm was broken,
however, before it reached Bridgeton
and there was no rain here at all.
All north of this city, however, even
to Camden, the storm ragged with tre-
mendous energy. AS near Bridgeton
as Finley station the rain fell in tor
rents, low fields being inundated and
In many instances corn was bent un-
der the fierce storm. High winds ac-
companied the storm, and many were
tbe. buildings unroofed while fences
were fiattened for miles about.
The lightning was fearful and pas
sengers upon the West Jersey rail-
road trains coming into Bridgeton no
ticed number of fires burning here
and there. The train due here shortly
after 6 o'clock, was considerably de-
layed by the severity of the storm.
NJ Ouorc xrybn Iiune n
farm near Woodruff's Station, suffered
loss, lightning striking his barn and
firing it. The structure was entirely
destroyed The NOW was filled with
hay and this was all lost. The live
stock was gotten out
At Daretown the great barn of Ed
ward Colson was totally destroyed. A
lightning bolt fired the barn and des-
pite the food of rain, the structure
burned fiercely. With the building
went 1000 bushels of wheat, 200 tons
of hay, horse, cow and calf.
North of Elmer and south of Glass
boro, three different barns were de-
stroyed together with their contents.
At Elmer the full fury of the storm
deluged the town. Rain and hail fell
tn great quantities. Three different
residences were struck by lightning,
and some damage done each place, but
none of the houses were burned.
When the residence of Mrs. William
Cassidy was struck, Mrs. Cassidy was
overcome with the shock, and since
the bolt came crashing upon the prop
erty the woman has not been able to
hear.
The lightning played havoc with the
telephone wires in Elmer, no less than
thirty telephones being out of COM
mission.
The Seabrook Farms Company suf-
fered damage from the storm. The
thrush of water from that section
above the farm tract, filled the Sea-
brook pond and overfowed the bank
near the bridge and gates. The dirt
bank soon cut out and in short time
about 80 feet of the bank was carried
away and the water of the pond was
out.
The barn of Emery Hetzell was
struck by lightning, the roof badly
damaged, but fortunately the building
was not fired
A big walnut tree in the yard of
Walter Marshall was struck by light
ming and shattered. Windows of the
Marshall residence were broken.
All about Hustled Station the dam
age to the crops was greatest. Much
OF the corn there was destroyed by the
deluge of rain and the beating hail.
A big telephone pole on the state
road to Deerfeld was shattened by
lightning.

Dainty NeeIieee Garment May Be Had
in Practically Any Form That Can
Be Required.

Despite the pronounced vogue of
Chinese modes in formal garb, the Jap
anese kimono remains the intimate
friend of the woman who has col
lection of dainty lounging robes. For
those cold mornings when the wind
howls outside and the furnace is in
sulky mood, there are comforting
robes of quilted Japanese silk. dainti-
ly hand-worked with light and dark
floss. For milder weather there are
adorable kimonos of lowered satin
with borders of satin or Japanese silk,
and some of these have the shirrings
at the elevated waist line which
slightly suggest a blending of the EN-
pire with the Oriental style. Still
more fascinating are the cotton and
silk crepes in white, sprinkled over
with pink cherry blossoms and in
blue or rose printed with graceful
sprays of white wistara. To wear the
hmono there should be a clinging
loose slip of satin in a solid tone
matching either the grounding or the
figuring of the robe. Many women,
however, prefer to wear the ordinary
princess garment of Seco silk trimmed
with lace ruffles or the one in white
