1 hereby announce myself as a
candidate for the nomination of
Sheriff on the Republican ticket at
the primary election to be held
September 22d. Being born in
Salem city IS years ago, most of
the people of Salem city are ac-
quainted with my past record as l
have been before the public in the
Real Estate and Insurance bust
ness and been personally interested
in the work of lodge circles of var
>ious lodges of Salem county for the
past IS years.
Being under no obligations to
any faction of men it will be my
aim to give the citizens of this
county the best service at my COM
mand. l stand for what is just
and right in all matters affecting
the County, its people and its i'm
ternal affairs, and if / am elected
Sheriff the office will be conduted
on a high standard with strict COM
pliance with the law and all of
which details personally looked af-
ter by me.
1 was elected a city assessor of
Salem at the election of 1910. The
policy l pursued at that time is the
same that / am actuated at the
present-that is to serve the people
at every and all times and to have
no other master than the people
that put me in office. They hon
ored me by a reelection in 1914
and my election was confirmed by
an unanimou vote of the Com
mon Council of Salem. Therefore,
/ feel that it is no more than my
proper right and due to ask the
, support of all Republicans at the
coming primary for the high office
/ seek.
Respectfully
VIM. T. MIFFLIN

Crops and Prices

Three weeks ago some Baltimore can
ners had canned tomatoes on hand and
the demand was only normal. The break
ing ont of a general war in Europe made
q demand Tor all kinds of food products
which are put into cans. The packers
O o disposed OF their supply and sent out
agents to buy fruits for canning. The
arrival of other buyers caused an advance
in prices to as high as IL cents for a few
last Friday. The price was 1864 last
Saturday, Monday l4-l5, Tuesday Is.
Parker Locke, agent for Boyle & Co.
Baltimore quit buying OH Tuesday.
The early tomato crop is nearly all
gathered. The crop of second earlies is
not very large.
Canning the late crop usually begins
the middle OF August. The dry weather
in May delayed setting the late plants,
consequently the crop will be late and
canning will not begin before September
/. The set of tomatoes is not large and
the prospects are for a small crop in this
region.
John G. Gayenta began digging 9 crop
of fue sweet potatoes last Monday. The
big mes paid him over a cent a hill, which
is considered good.
George j. Gaventa has the largest and
finest crop of peaches ever grown in Old
mans Township. He expects to pick 10,
600 baskets this year.
During the last week in July when
tomatoes went down to 10 cents a basket
in Salem and Gloucester counties, j. ID.
Carpenter, editor OF the Woodbury. DEM
ocrat, was in Pittsfield, Mass. The re-
tail price Of water melons there was SOC
each; tomatoes Is cents a pound; canta-
loupes rs cents each; peaches SOC and Coo
q carrier. He believes that the system OF
distribution is responsible for the loss OF
profit t o the growers. At 10 cents a pound
equal to S. a basket very few ate tomatoes
there.
Catalogues were never more abund-
amt and never finer in quality than this
year.
Mrs. Katie Hillman, who arri we'd from
East Orange last week, informs us that
tomatoes there are 81 a basket and canta.
loupes l5c each.
White potatoes went from 30 cents 9
bnshel last week to 65 cents this Friday
A few sweet potatoes are being shipped
in hampers. They dropped from $l.5(
the fore part of the week to $l.35 thii
Friday.

Take over the City.

General and His Soldiers Preparing &c
Take over the City.
General Frederick Funston and the
fighting Fifth brigade, which arrived
at Vera Cruz on Tuesday. remain OF
board their transports.
Officially it is stated that the army
requires three days IN which TO relieve
the navy OF her charge, although the
sailors themselves went ashore in an
hour. Unofcially it is said the desire
O. Washington not to do anything
which might add 70 the feeling in
Mexico City may be responsible for
the delay.
General Funston called on Admiral
Badger and talked over with him his
plans for the landing Of the troops.
The infantrymen will take charge
Of the position along the outer line
The seamen are 10 be relieved detach.
ment by detachment, and viii return
TO their ships.
Il is generally understood that there
viii be no effort 10 extend the terri
tory now held until further orders to
that effect comes from Washington
This attitude it is supposed. is the
natural result Of the negotiations re
garding mediation. little information
Of which is reaching Vera Cruz and
because Of the desire to continue ef
forts &c bring Americans in Mexico
City and elsewhere TO the coast.
That President Huerta has decided
not 10 attempt to try conclusions with
the American forces near Vera Cruz is
indicated by a report brought to the
city by passengers from outlying dis
tricts. The passengers said they saw
General Mas. former eommandant at
Vera Cruz, and his men making their
way farther into the interior from
Soledad.
Admiral Fletcher telegraphed TO the |
navy department that he had taken |
charge Of the San Juan d'UlIoa prison
at Vera Cruz, on account Of the /
'frightful conditions" that were dis
covered there. He said that 325 prison
ers, accused Of no crime whatever
were arrested within the last two
months TO force them into the Federal
army.
It is reported that the British sub
Iects n Mexico City have been dis
armed because they were too friendly
