That the ladies of North Wildwood
and Five Mile Beach are going to do
something worth while for the poor
children who come to the South Jersey
Fresh Air Home at 18th and New

nouncement and issuing of tickets for
a card party at the Hotel Ottens on
Wednesday afternoon, August 26th, at
2.30. The affair is being managed by
Mrs. William G. Duncan, Mrs. George
Mullen, Mrs. Charles Hardenbrook
and Miss Dankelmann with the assist
ance of many other cottage ladies. It
is the purpose to start a nucleus for a
fund for the building of an annex to
this worthy charity. There have been
1000 tickets and so far about 200 have
been sold. The prizes for the party
will be donated and practically all
the expenses, SO the sale of the tickets
will be pure gain for the home. Mrs.
Ida Dukes, of Camden, who is at pres
emit at the home with thirty-five or
more of the children has taken several
hundred of the tickets with the pur-
pose of selling them to Camden people.
Tickets can be had from any of the

The truck situation on Five Mile
Beach this season has been exception
ally good. The fact that war time
prices are being charged for groceries
and SC sugar has reached this beach
along with other high priced necessi-
ties, the cottagers have had some relief
in the fact that they a buy excellent
cantaloupes for &c a piece, good peaches
from so the SOC q basket, potatoes Doc
for small sized baskets. Tomatoes
have been rather poor but the price is
not yet prohibitive. The hucksters
who come from the mainland are more
numerous this year and seem to be
more courteous towards our people.
The mercantile tax which has been
imposed on hucksters has tended to
weed out out the INSCRIPTIONS bucks
ter and has helped the situation con-
siderably. Truck boats have been rum
ming into Ottens Harbor in the Holly
Beach section, Rio Grande Bridge and
here the past week an Anglesea boat
has been bringing truck from the Mis-
pillion Creek section of Delaware.
This boat docks at Anglesea wharf and
the cottagers In that section can ride
to the wharf on the trolley car and buy
truck at reasonable prices.
The Pittsburgh Company of Infan-
try are enjoying their third season but
it is stated that next year they will go
to the Panama Canal, each nan put
ing up $4,000 for the cost of the trip.
