ATLANTIC COUNTY WILL
REPAIR MULLICA BRIDGE

Exasperated at the delay of the
Burlington County Board of Free
holders in doing their share to repair
the Mullica River Bridge, the Allan
the County Board this week awarded
the contract for the erection of a new
bridge which is to cost $4,000 and
will compel the Burlington authorities
to pay their share of it. The contract
for the new bridge was awarded to
Edward Fay and Son, of Philadelphia,
on their low bid of $4,000.
For nearly a year the Atlantic
County Freeholders have been at
tempting to cooperate with Burling-
ton County to build a new bridge, as
the Mullica River is the dividing line
between the two counties; but each
time, Burlington has withdrawn. The
bridge is in such dangerous condition
that Judge Higbee warned the Free
holders that unless they put it in
shape at once a terrible accident
might occur and theFreeholders be in
dicted for manslaughter.
The excuse of Burlington County
has been that they did not have the
funds to carry out their share of the
improvement but our Board decided
to build the bridge and then get pay
ment from Burlington County by a
writ of mandamus if they refused to
pay their share of the cost. A dele
cation of the Burlington F~reeholders
attended the meeting, but left before
action was taken.

KILL BIRD-CATCHING CATS,
SAY FARMERS

That the value of farm cats is a de-
batable subject is the belief of prom
inent Burlington county Changers,
who have started a movement to
bring before the farmers of New Jer-
sey a general DISCUSSION of the pro-
posed cat tax law advocated by the
Audubon societies. Debates or the
subject will be held this month in
most of the Burlington county Gran
ges.
Among the most progressive OF
these South Jersey farmers are those
who declare that the value of cats as
rat and mice catchers is Offset by the
great number of birds the cats slay.
The agriculturists say their observa-
lions have convinced them that a cat
which once forms the bird-catching
habit is thereafter useless as a rat
exterminator, always stalking the
tender feathered quarry in reference
to hunting the barn rats. These ru-
raj advocates of the cat tax law,
which would mean the determination
of cats in many localities, declare ev-
cry farmer would be better off with
out the big feline families around
his barns and depending instead upon
traps and p%oisons to eliminate the
rodents.

MARRIED SEVENTY YEARS

In the Interesting People depart
ment of the March American Maya
zine appears an account of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. 7. West of Caldwell, Idaho,
who have been married seventy years.
Both are now past ninety. They are
typical of the rugged stock that went
out from the East to build our West
ern country. Many of US had, or
have, grandparents like them-strong,
hardy and self-reliant people. Fol
lowing is an extract from the article:
"Mr. West is still a great reader.
He writes often for the press, and
his penmanship sometimes he
writes without glasses) excels that

did story teller and fond of a joke.
laughingly attributing his good
health and long life to the habit of
not cultivating 3 bay window.
1.-TWO years ago Mrs. West won a
prize at the county fair for the best
patchwork quilt made and quilted
when lightweight years of age. At
the county fair last fall Mrs. West
won another prize, as did also a
daughter, a granddaughter and a
great-granddaughter, thus making
the four generations of the family win
prizes. The tiny one was adjudged
the most perfect baby in the 'Wo-
mans Home Companion Better Ba-
bies Contest. On November 4, 1914,
Mr.. and Mrs. West walked to the
polls and cast their ballots.
"Mr. West was thrown on his own
resources very early in life by the
death of his father, and has climbed
many rounds of the business ladder.
His later years were spent in the
banking business. He has held offices
of honor in the Masonic Lodge.
"While he and Mrs. West have no
particular rule for growing old grace
fully it may be said that they have
lived active, temperate, helpful lives,
accepting joyfully or submissively
what crossed their mathis"

Wilmington was rather fortunate
in securing a division of the points, for

second half when Lang. Rosemonts goal
hatted the ball through his own posts
in attempting to clear. Despite the fact
that the visitors were playing with only
