HA|NES PLANT
WORTH S|7,2O5.65

The appraisers appointed to go ov-
er the effects of the bankrupt mail
order house of Linwood Haines Linn
tied of America, last week filed their
appraisenent with Referee in Bank
ruptcy S. Conrad OFT, showing the
value of the plant on Federal street,
Camden, to be $17,205.65. This sum
is below the estimate placed on the
property by Haines in his estimates
of values made to stockholders.
The appraisers in their report ex-
plain their methods by stating that
the figures submitted show fifty per
cent. cost of the fixtures, a fifty and
eighty per cent. of groceries, sew
enty per cent cost of agricultural i'm
plements, and seventy per cent. cost
of paints, oils, etc.
The debts of the concern aggre-
gate 100000 and at the present time
a party of stockholders in the de-
funct concern are at work on plans
looking towards the purchase of the
plant and the removal of it from the
bankruptcy courts. The stockholders
anxious to take over the plant have
eliminated Linwood Haines entirely
from the organization. $50

GARRISON
WON'T RUN

Atlant'c City, Dec. 29.-Lindley M.
Garrison, who was a Jersey Vice
Chancellor before he went to Wash
ington to run the War Department for
President Wilson, today put 14-inch
shell squarely into the middle of
rumor that he has a desire to become
United. States Senator.
The report as it came from Wash
ington was that Secretary Garrison
had made up his mind to take the
toga FROM Senator MARITIME when the
latter's term expires.
you can say for me- the War Sec
retary said this afternoon, that nm
going to conduct the War Department
to the utmost of my ability for the
time for which President Wilson Sc
lected me, and that when that time
expires. I am going to New Jersey
ard practice law That ought to be
sufficiently explicit"

B. A. A. To
FEED KIDDIES
b. A. A. to Continue Its
HOnored Custom.
GUESTS ON FRIDAY
1t Is Expected That 500 Children
Will Taste Real Hospitality
at the B. A. A.

The time honored custom of feeding
the poor children of Bridgeton to
chicken pot-pie on New Years day
will again be the efforts of the very
popular Bridgetoi Athletic Associa-
ton and preparations have been made
to supply at least 200 little ones with
substantial dinner at noon on Fri
day.
For years the association through
its members and friends have taken
this means of preparing dinner ana
providing generally some little enter
tainment for the benefit of those who
are less fortunate and who as a rrle
did not participate in the joys of a
slmptuots holiday repast.
Chicken serves as the principal en-
try upon the menu and with bread
and butter and plenty of fresh milk
The kidlets enjoy at least one sub
stantial meal in the year. AT this
annual dinner the public are invited
to visit the rooms on Jefferson Street
and see the picture which will touch
the heart strings o. anybody.
The dinner will be ready to serve at
noon and will be under The direction
OF Police Officer Fred Barton, who in
the past has been ably assisted by the
nlem4ers of the association and their
wives and lady friends. While an in
vitatibn is extended to the public to
rome in and see the dinner, an irvi-
t-atiof, is also extended 10 the ladies
to join in the efforts of the association
and to render such assistance as will
aerve the little ones while at table.
Little need be said as to extending
an invitation to the poor children, fer
it is generally understood that this
event is one looked forward to by the
Hundreds and the mere fact Of having
,uch dinner conveys all the invita-
ton necessary. For the benefit Of
those who have rot attended one Of
these dinners before the invitation is
extended and it depends entirely up
on the individual whether or not he
or she should accept the invitation,
understanding for what purpose the
dinner is given.

HAMPTON is
FITTED FOR PLACE

The Paterson Guardian, printed at
the home of United States Senator
Hughes, prints the following editor
ial that is interesting to many people
here:
Senator Hughes has thrown down
the gauntlet to Senator MARITIME in
the matter of confirming Presiden.
Wilson's appointment of George II
Hampton. of Camden, for Internal
Revenue Collector and a battle royal'
is now on. Senator Hughes will have
at his hack all the forces of the Ad
ministration, while the leather-lunged
P1ainfield bone-hunter is expecting to
gain recruits for the defeat of Hamp-
ton among Democratic soreheads and
Republicans in the Senate. Mr..
Hughes is not in the habit of espo1s-
ing a losing cause and Marines fin
ish in the circumstances can easily be
seen with the naked eye.
His opposition to President Wilson
in this instance hasn't leg to stand
on. There isn't a flaw in Mr.. Hamp-
tons record. He is thoroughly equip
ped for the collectorship; he is a man
of unbending rectitude and high char
acter and he is a thorough-going DEM
ocrat of the Wilson school. Mar
tines opposition to him is simply a
case of wounded self-esteem, mat
ter that the public cares little about.
To turn him down good and plenty
this affair is duty that the Sem
nmes to the public.

LOCAL EAGLES
after REVENGE

If determination is to count for any
thing then the players that represent
the Bridgeton Fraternal Order of
Eagles, in the inter-Aerie Pinochle
and Hoffer PETER contest with Mill
vile will get sweet revenge for the
bitter pill of defeat thus far handed
them by their brothers from across
the pike
The fourth meet Of the series will
take place at the Bridgeton Eagles
Home this city, tonight, and to date
Millville leads by eighty-four points.
Twenty-one full games is no small
lead with the contest already one half
over. This lead, however, may prove
detrimental to the thus far winners
The last meet at Millville demonstrate
ed that both sets of players are apt
to grow over confident AS the series
has worn away, Millville has demon
strated their superiority at Pinochle
while the Bridgeton Hoffen Peffer
players have made rings around their
opponents. But this was not to al
ways be and the last meet demon
strated this fact most clearly. Bridge
games, but the way Millville ran away
with the Bridgeton Hoffen Peffer
players, would draw laughter from an
audience of marble statutes. About
tine only worth the Hoffen PETER play
ers of Bridgeton were was to solve
the problem of mental inertia. In
other words they appeared merely rs
mental fence posts When one is out
riding in an automobile or carriage
they are able only to measure their
speed by immovahle objects, such as
trees, houses and fence posts. And
in the third meet the Bridgeton play
Fers certainly solved the problem of
determining just how fast Millville
travelled by becoming mentally Detri-
fled and serving as mental fence posts
to mark the speed of their opponents
playing. So soundly were they
trounced by Millviile that the commit
tee in charge have very wisely
changed the players complete and to-
night an entirely different aggrega ion
Of Hoffen PETER players will be used
ard very hope is entertained of a
complete revenge for the defeat sus-
tanned one week ago. The Pinocnle
players will remain practically the
same, as from their recent efforts
they clearly proved to be the equal
of the Millville contingent.
