DEATH OF WIN.
A. CHEESMAN

William A. Cheesman passed away
about 1.30 o'clock this morning after
an illness of less than one week.
Wednesday of last week he went to
Trenton as delegate to the Odd Fel-
lows annual gathering held there. He
came home Thursday feeling sick and
went to bed with a heavy cold. DIR.
M. X. Elmer was summoned, who saw
that his ailment was developing
serious condition, Mr.. Cheesman con-
tinually growing worse.
Two other physicians were called
in consultation, but all that medical
skill could do was without avail, and
the fatal result followed.
William A. Cheesman was the
youngest son of John and Anna Chees-
man, the veteran newspaper man. His
brother, Robert Cheesman, the we'll
known printer, died few years ago,
and a few years later his mother
passed away. His father alone, sur
vies him as does also his wife, who
WIS Miss Rhynette, only daughter of
the late Timothy Campbell They
have no children.
He has been in the employ of r. R.
Miller, the poultry merchant, "a years
the 10th of next March, but he was
with his father-in-law. Timothy Camp
bell, long before this in the same bu-
siness, Mr.. Miller having purchased
the. business from Mr.. Campbell.
Mr.. Cheesman was consistent
Christian and member of Central M.
E. Church. He was one of the origin
al members of Central M e. Sunday
School and for many years its secre-
tary.
tte was a quiet and unostentatious
citizen, always to be found at his
place of business. He had the esteem
and confidence of the entire commun-
ity. and of him was never an unkind
word heard.
Often of late has his father John
Cheesman been heard to remark that
he desired to save all he could for
"Wilr', his son.
Sad must it be for the aged father
in this the loss of his last child and
the sympathy of the people will &C
out tc him and to the bereaved widow
in this affliction.

TRY CHRISTMAS
SHOPPING HERE

Why consider going out of Bridge
ton to do your Christmas shopping
when there is nothing in the line of
Christmas novelties that you cannot
buy from the Bridgeton merchant?
Really it is quite inexplicable why
some people think they must go out
of town to shop during the holiday
season. There are very many reasons
why they should do their Christmas
buying in Bridgeton. Here are some:
In Bridgeton you know with whom
you are dealing.
If you are not entirely satisfied you
can make a ready change.
You will save time, you save car
fare and shoe leather.
More, you will save physical wear
and tear and many severe headaches.
You can buy here just as cheap and
in most instances you can buy cheap
or.
If you, Mr.. Reader, Mrs. Reader,
Miss Reader did your Christmas shop
ping out of town in former years,
don't make another mistake this year

Deao Leaves

The fallen leaves were lying thick
upon the withered grass. MY lawns

imparts an ache, and kills my 81
smile; I'll get muzzle-loading rake,
and heap them In a pile" A learned
professor came along, Just at that
fateful time. "To rake the fallen
leaves is wrong" he said, Tin fact, a
crime. The sod demands the nutri-
ment that rotting leaves hestow so
let them with the soil he blent, and
they will make things grow" I
thanked that learned and able guy,
and gave him a cheroot; then took
the rake and laid it by, and played
upon my lutte. The leaves grew
thicker on the lawn, blown there by
every breeze, and when I took walk
thereon, they reached up to my knees.
Then ambled to my garden gate the
sawhones, stern and pale, you make
me tired he said, you skate-you
ought to be in jail. For public health
have you no care, most reckless of

WATER PRESSURE;
WATER VOLUME

AS Bridgeton officials are now con-
sidering the important question of
water service, it is especially impor-
tant to get started right. The ques-
tion of water pressure has ever been
before the public. Now the matter of
volume of water is to be seriously
considered.
Public Works Commissioner w. d.
friedrich has brought the water vol
ume necessity to the attention of the
public, and the more study there is
given the situation and conditions
here, the more it seems that volume
of water through sufficient mains. is
just as necessary as pressure. Ger
tain it is that volume of water is re-
quired to maintain pressure no mat
ter how great it is.
When one goes over the record of
water pressure as shown by other
places, Bridgeton compares very IA
vorably with almost every other New
Jersey city and town. rJ
The Bridgeton water pressure at
the plug varies from 25 to so pounds,
according to the location of the plug.
Official records show water pres
sure elsewhere to be as follows:
Camden ............... 25 to 40 TBS.
Cape May Court House 80 to 43 TBS
Hoboken IA to so lbs
Morr1stown ............1 .15 to Ito TBS
Mt. Holly ...............2 20 to As lbs
Paterson 20 to 80 lbs
Princeton ...............38 .38 to rs lbs
Trenton ................2 20 to so lbs
West Orange .......... 25 to It's TBS
Bayonne 10 to As TBS
1t will be noted but few of these
places have a greater minimum pres
sure than Bridgeton, and but four
towns have higher maximum plug
pressure.
All of these towns can fight fire EN-
GENTLY. Camden and Trenton have
big fires and there is never complaint
in the facilities for fighting fire. 1t
can probably be shown that in all of
these towns the water mains are suffi-
ciently large to maintain the pressure
at all time at the plug, while. in
Bridgeton small mains will not pro-
vide a sufficient amount of water to
maintain the plug pressure. In other
words the moment fire plug is op-
ened the water pressure drops at once
because the volume of water is not
sufficient to maintain the demand.

IDLE LAND LOSES FERTILITY
Less Organic Matter and Plant Food

Southern land should be kept at

particular harm comes there from
such practices II II does not wash. but
there is another consideration for the
southern farmer. Repeated soil analy-

away, especially in loose sandy soils,
because 1t has no plant there to use
It as It becomes available. Then, too,
