MAYOR OBJECTS TO
FEDERAL GAME LAW.
Pleasantville, N. j., Mar. II, IA.
Editors Pleasantyille Press:

Pleasantville, N. j., Mar. II, IA.
Editors Pleasantville Press:
Will you kindly allow me space in
your paper to say few words in be-
half of the sportsmen of this section
of New Jersey, who under the new
Federal law which prohibits the shoot
ing of all Bay Birds until the first of
September find themselves placed
where they must watch the birds come
and go without being able to gun for
them at all to respect the law.
Any true sportsman will agree that
the cutting out of the spring shooting
of Meadow Birds is proper and should
have been done years ago, because at
that time the birds are on their way
to their breeding grounds and every
bird killed at that time is prevented
from raising nest full of young
birds, but what we do object to is to
have them come back from the breed
ing grounds and pass through this
portion of Jersey and not be allowed
to gun for Them.
Any sportsman knows and the fra
mers of the Federal law ought to have
known that at this section of the
country the birds, following their
flight north in the Spring begin to
arrive back here about the latter part
of July or the first of August, and al
the best they only stay for a short
time, so that when the first of Septem.
Der comes they have gone except q
few stragglers, and any one who has
done much shooting can tell you that
even they are few and far between.
While we realize that the game
birds must be protected if the future
generations are to have any left fol
them, yet we feel that it is unjust to
US for the Federal Government tc
place a law upon US which prevents
us in this section from ENJOYING q
privilege created by God, while those
further down the coast reap the full
benefit of what we lose. If the Fed
eral law would set the first of August
for New Jersey it would he more in
keeping with the fight of the birds,
or better still, let the various States
fix the seasons for the birds on their
return trip, reserving to the Federal
Government the right to prohibit all
Spring shooting.
Yours in the interest of the Sports
men, CHAS. ]. ADAMS.

MAY is VICTIM OF STORM.

In the death late Friday night, Mar.
9th, of Edward May, steward of the At
lantic City Country Club at Mortified
the blizzard which ragged Sunday and
Monday of last week, claimed its sole
victim in this vicinity. Stricken with
serious illness contracted while en-
gagged about the clubhouse during the
storm, May was unable to procure
medical attendance because of the
huge drifts which filled the roadways
leading to Northfeld, and the COM
plete paralysis of the telephone sys-
tenn along the mainland.
His condition grew rapidly worse,
and when physicians were finally able
to reach his side he was discovered to
be in dying condition. Despite the
efforts of the physicians in charge, the
end came as stated late Friday night.
Mr.. May was born in Budapest,
Hungary, in 1857 He had been stew
ard at the Club house about one year
and was very popular.
Rev. w. l. Shoemaker, pastor of st.
Johns M. P. Church, officiated at the
funeral services, which took place on
Monday afternoon. Interment was
made in Pleasantville. The pallbear-
ers were: J. B. Slack, J. H. Lippincott,
A. E. Bates and D. S. White, of the
Country Club, and Elwell Scull and
Mr.. Adams, representatives of the To-
cal lodge of |. o. o. F.

JERSEY HOUSEWIVES PRAISE
THE HAINES SYSTEM
OF MERCHANDISING

In the quaint old town of Haddon-
field, N. j., there exists select social
organization known as the "Haddon
Fortnightly". One of its most promi-
nent members is Mrs. Bessie H. Rem
ington, who at a recent meeting of
the Club, was made Chairman of a
Committee, known as the ''Home Eco
nomics Department" whose function
was to suggest methods for reducing
the cost of living.
Remington to do her duty On this
the Grocery Catalog published by Lin
wood Haines Limited of America, SO
Federal Street, Camden, N ]. From
this she selected list of groceries
amounting to between $40 and S11. 1t
is likely that she was pleased with her
purchase, for at the next meeting of
the Fortnightly her Committee made
its report, which was certainly favor
able to the Haines Concern.
In letter, dated February 10Th,
addressed to the Haines people she
said: GAS Chairman of the Home Eco
nomics Department of the Haddon
Fortnightly, + recently gave little
informal talk on cooperative buying,
followed by a general discussion on
how to reduce the high cost of living.
Before giving this talk, made visit
to your store, purchased a bill of
goods, found them very satisfactory,
which fact made known to the mem
bers and urged their buying from you.
The Home Economics is an entirely
new department in the Club, this be-
ing its first year. We deal entirely
with the home, trying to reduce the
cost of living, labor saving and all
domestic problems"
Any other housewife who is inter-
ested in reducing the cost of living
along similar lines should write for
one of Haines Grocery Catalogs. The
prices in it appear to be from ten to
twenty percent. below those quoted
by the average retail groceryman.
AS an example, Haines sells sugar for
&c per pound; other stores charge four
and five. Haines sells rolled oats for
&c per pound; other stores charge sc
and more. Haines sells a golden-oa
buffet for $15.29, for which cash
stores in Philadelphia charge $22 and
upwards. Everything in the Haines
establishment seems to be proportion
ately as low, whether it be groceries,
toilet goods, jewelry, shirtwaists and
suits, sewing machines, furniture,
house furnishings or agricultural i'm
plements, and Mr.. Haines says that
his list of regular grocery customers
in South Jersey is rapidly increasing.
The March issue of Haines Grocery
Catalog has just been printed and
may be had by writing for it. adv.

FERTILIZE TREES
WITH TOP SPRAY.
Nitrate of Soda Applied to Blossoms
Has Wonderful Effect on Crop.

Spraying with Nitrate of Soda, ap-
plying fertilizer to the blossoms and
branches of trees instead of to the
roots, is the latest innovation in Cali
fornia horticulture, and, according to
the reports of farmers and experts,
the success has been phenomenal.
Recent experiments in the Paiaro
valley with apple trees have produced
wonderful results. One remarkable
instance was on the orchard of o. d.
Stoesser. In an impoverished orchard
seven trees in the center of the or
chard were sprayed, the others were
left unsprayed.
When fruit time came the seven
sprayed trees were laden heavily,
while all the other trees in the orchard
were almost barren. Telling of having
visited the orchard on a trip of in
spection with several experts, resi-
dent of Watsonville said:
"The crop on the Bellfower trees in
the orchard was extremely light.
Down near the middle seven trees in
one row were pointed out, every one
loaded to breaking, and every one hav-
ing beautiful fruit. We were given
most solemn assurance that these
trees were treated exactly like all
around, with the exception that So
luton of nitrate of soda, one pound to
the gallon, had been sprayed on the
tops. There was one other tree in an
adjoining row around which the same
amount of nitrate of soda was worked
into the soil as was put upon the tops
of the seven. This one tree showed
slightly heavier crops than others un-
treated, but nothing like each one of
the seven."

DIVORCE GRANTED TO
MRS. ROSE ZULKER.
Husband Treated Wife Cruelty and
Then Deserted Her.

Special Master in Chancery Samuel
E. Perry has recommended that a de-
cree of divorce be granted to Mrs.
Rose Zulker, of Pleasantville, who su-
ed her husband, Andrew Zulker, on
the grounds of cruelty and desertion,
some time after he had violated his
parole and disappeared from Pleasant
vile.
Zulker, who was sentenced in Grim
lnal Court in January, 1910, to two
years Imprisonment for assault and
battery on his wife, was placed on
parole provided he supported her.
He was carpenter in Pleasantville
and the evidence disclosed he was ear
ming wages much above the union rate,
being expert at his calling and having
plenty of work. He obeyed the courts
order for six months and then skipped
out, going south, it is believed.
Mrs. Zulker tried in vain to locate
her missing husband, but to no pur-
pose. Late in 1913 she entered suit
for divorce and the case was referred
to Special Master Perry last January.
The evidence showed Zulker treated
his wife with extreme cruelty and bru-
tality. He drank heavily and spent
his money freely, often leaving his
wife and little girl unprovided for.
The climax came when Zulker one
day, in fit of drunken rage, when
his wife asked him for some money.
grabbed poker from the fire and
seizing his wife by the neck forced
her to the floor, when he beat her saw
agely over the head and body with the
instrument. Then he fled, leaving her
unconscious.
Zulker was arrested on her COM
plant and tried. The Court, in view
of the fact that Mrs. Zulker was pen
niless, suspended sentence as long as
he supported his wife and child and
kept away from them. Since he dis
appeared she has been obliged to work
hard to support herself and child

OF STREETS.

Editors Pleasantville Press:
1t is amazing to see the condition of
the streets in "The best town on the

life and limb. think if the Council
were to use their energies to have a
snow pfow and small sum of money
tucked away in the treasury to hire
couple of horses for such emergencies,
1T would be of more benefit to the ma
jority of the people than turning the

Secretary Lanes withdrawal of ra-

cording to advices received by Gov.
Ammons from Congressman Taylor.
The governor cannot as yet make the
contents of Mr.. Taylor's letter pub
lie, but he assures us that the with
drawal of radium lands will never be
made. The sane and convincing stand
taken by western representatives in
congress, especially those from Colo
RADIO, have done wonders in showing
congress the great injustice it would
do our state. Nearly all the lands
in Gilpin county are now under pat
ent, but the carnotite fields on our
western slope are nearly all unpat-
ented and it's withdrawal would work
great hardship to the state.

He was the leader in the house in

many sleepless nights he gave to the

be the longest convict built road in
