FISH RECEIPTS OFF.
Dealers Get Opportunity to Sell Sur.
plus Stock on Hand.

There was decided falling off in the
receipts Of butterfsh. small trout,
croakers and small founders at the
wharf market yesterday morning, and
this gave the dealers an opportunity to
sell the surplus stock they had on hand,
so that the shortage caused but little
Inconvenience, and only a small ad-
vance in prices over those of Friday.
Reports received yesterday from the
Jersey coast fishermen state that the
catch was light, and the bulk of it was
shipped TO New York. where better
prices prevailed than could be obtained
here. The dealers at the wharf market
are of the opinion that the present
shortage is but temporary. and that by
the middle of this week receipts will be
again heavy and that prices will be
kept down to the level of last week,
when everything was exceptionally
cheap.

Motor Car Brings
Relief to MOnOtOny
in Life of Farmer

The motor car has furnished welcome
relief from the monotony Of life. which
was long the lot OF the average farmer.
Although unusually well-to-do. the
farmer found that his necessary isola-
ton kept him from enjoying the full
benefits OF frequent association with his
neighbors and friends. Easy means OF
communication were lacking. II IL only
within recent years that any progress
has been made In this direction. :.
II is the big need for relaxation and
pleasure that the automobile has filled foI
tho farmer. This point is made plain by
John n. WHY'S. president OF the WHY'S
Overland company. which sells more than
half OF its entire output to residents OF
rural communities.
The farmer does not have 60 stay al
home AZ he has a car" states Mr.. WHY'S,
HE does not feel himself rooted to the
soil. His wife and children win be hap.
pier and more oontented. An automobile
brings decentralization from isolation,
freedom from loneliness. freedom from
the limitations of time. and distance.
ITO the farmer. a car II far more than
q mere luxury. Il Is a vital necessity
10 him and his family. II offers a wei.
come relief II makes him better
worker by giving him recreation and
pleasure he could not otherwise have
