Along the Shore

Crabs have been unusually scarce in
Barnegat bay all of this summer. Some
blame this on the baymen, who have
for several winters past dredgsd the hard
crabs out of the mud and shipped them
to market all winter long. 1t is said the
crab will have to be protected like any
other fish or game, or he will be exter-
minated. Most of the crabs dredged in
the winter are COW crabs, and that ac-
counts for the absence of the small crab
this summer, there not being enough
female crabs to make the usual number
OF small crabs. Others say that some
mysterious disease has killed crabs by
millions in the north Atlantic bays and
rivers this summer, and quote reports
from the North river that oysterbeds
have been sprinkled not only with dead
crabs, but also dead eels. Another ex-
planation is that the crabs have not
come in from the sea as usual this year
for there are some baymen who assert
that the crabs come in from the sea
early in the summer and go out in the
fall, much like fish of the migratory
varieties, though, of course, not travel
ing so far. They say while some crabs
bed down in the mud of the bay for the
winter, more go'to sea to bed down.
A break in the boiler of the Toms
River gas plant, last week, put that con-
Germ out of business until locomotive

Senator Thomas A. Mathis, as chair
man of the commission appointed last
winter for the purpose, will, with his
commission, hold hearings in this coun-
ty to consider the taking over of the two
toll bridges in Ocean county by the
state. The other members of the COM
mission are Senators Lewis T. Stevens.
OF Cape May, and Henry E. Ackerson,
OF Monmouth, and Assemblymen Oliver
J. West and Mark Lake. The commits
sion was appointed under the terms of a
joint resolution drawn last winter and
introduced by Senator Mathis. Beside
the two bridges in Ocean county, across
Barnegat Bay and IManahawhin Bay,
there are number of similar toll bridges
IN Cape May county. The meetings in
Ocean county will be held as follows:
Friday, September 8, court house, Toms

Farm Notes.

In company with ten potato grower
the farm demonstrator visited Minch
Brothers farms at Bridgeton about the
middle of July to secure as much in
formation as possible about the produc-
ton of high class late cropseed potatoes.
Upon arriving at Bridgeton, S. Will
lard Minch accompanied them on trip
through the potato growing section,
stopping in numerous fields to examine
the condition of Cobbler potatoes. In
almost all cases it was found that pota-
toes grown from Maine seed practically
matured, and the tubers understood.
Fields that were planted with late crop
home grown seed were still green and in
good condition. Upon digging into them
they found the tubers larger than those
in the matured fields, and they would
still increase materially. After seeing
such increased results from the late
planted home gro&n seed they asked
Mr.. Minch their method of handling
such crop, which he gave as follows:
A clover stubbIe is always selected and
plowed quite deeply. Seed from the late
crop of the year before, which has been
kept in cold storage, is used for plant
ing. After the soil has been thoroughly
prepared the seed is planted, nsing 1900
pounds per acre of the same grace ferti-
lizer as is used on the first crop, apply
ing it all in the row. After this the crop
is cared for in the usual way, keeping 1t
carefully cultivated and sprayed
A number of farmers are testing out
this method this summer. Reference
will be made to it occasionally in the
monthly news letter published by the
farm bureau.

SUES BROTHERS FOR DAMAGES

SUES BkOIHEhO rOR OAmAOE1O.
eliminating a series of family diff
ferences, Howard L. Davis, of New
Egypt, has brought suit in the Supreme
Court of New Jersey against his bro
ther, Malcolm /. Davis, of 118 West
Mount Airy avenue, Philadelphia, to
recover 100000 for the alleged alien
alton of the affections of his wife.
Mrs. Kate Irwin Davis, of II South
Thirty-eighth street, that city, widow
of the late Edward 7. Davis, who was
widely known in the city, is also men
toned in the suit.
News of the action leaked out on
Saturday. As originally filed the ac-
ton required an answer on August 20.
But the attorneys for Malcolm /. Da-
Wis requested a longer time in which
to prepare their answer and V. Claude
Palmer, attorney for the New Egypt
man agreed. The papers in the case
were served on Malcolm ]. Davis at
his summer home at Spring Lake and
are on file with the clerk of the Su-
preme court at Trenton.
The Davis family is well known in
Philadelphia. The late Edward I.
Davis, father of the brothers involved
in the suit, was at one time proprietor
of the Hanover hotel and a part owner
of the Garrick theatre. His widow,
Mrs. Kate Irwin Davis, resides IN the
handsome residence on the northeast
corner of Thirty-eighth and Ludlow
streets, Philadelphia. Malcolm |. Da-
Wis, who is being sued, is listed in the
city directory as salesman. He is
interested in the manufacture of mat
tresses.
Howard L. Davis charges in his bill
of particulars that Malcolm |. Davis
is responsible for alternating the affec-
ton of his wife and family. Mrs.
Clara ]. Davis, wife of Howard, left
her husband about six months ago.
Since then she has been living at Penn
berton and Glenolden, Pa.
Shortly after leaving her husband,
he declared she induced their three
sons, Howard L. Jr., Guy and Joseph,
to go with her. Joseph returned to
his father. Later the father AYERS
that an attempt was made by Mrs.
Davis and party of friends to kidnap
Joseph, but he fought vigorously and
had his clothing torn. He managed
to escape by using a motorboat which
was nearby.
The additional charge of depriving
him of the services and affections of
his sons is also made by Mr.. Davis.
He further charges that Malcolm l.
Davis has so embittered their mother,
Mrs. Kate Irwin Davis, against him
that she has been induced to change
her will and to disinherit him alto
gether.
AS soon as the reply of the attor-
.neys for Malcolm |. Davis is received,
the case will be listed for trial. 1t is
expected that sensational testimony
will be presented, not only because OF
the unusually heavy damages asked,
but because of the prominence of the
members of the family, who are among
the leaders in the fashionable summer
colony at Spring Lake.

Why North Jersey?

Political circles are interested in q
statement issued by Chas. V. Marshall,
sheriff of Cumberland county, in which
he declared that the other nineteen
counties might as well "go out of poll
tics" if the Colgate campaign argument
that candidate must come from Essex
or Hudson county in order to be elected
is recognized by the party.
"If sectional arguments are to be
raised and it is true that a Republican
candidate for Governor must come from
Essex or Hudson in order to have any
show against the Democratic nominee
how long has it been the case ?" reads
the statement. "It has not been many
years since Edward Casper Stokes was
elected Governor, and he came from our
county of Cumberland. Furthermore,
the records show that Stokes received
81, 900 majority, while Governor Murphy
from Essex received 1000 and Governor
Fort from Essex only 5000. we Soutn
Jersey Republicans cannot concede that
this gives any strength to the secuonal
argument in favor of political expediency.
us Essex county alone responsible for
recent Republican victories l. see
where Essex county Republicans favor
able to Senator Edge themselves resent
the argument and have pointed out that
last year New Jersey was Republican on
the legislative ticket by $1,000 majority,
and that the counties south OF Mercer
and Ocean, inclusive, furnished just 26,-
900 of this majority, while the counties
in North Jersey furnished only 1000.
Essex county is seven times as big in
population as Atlantic county, but it
furnished only 1000 more majority. 1t
is two and one-half times as big as Pas
sale and yet it produced only 5000 more
majority. 1t is three and one-half times
as big as Camden and gave only 1900
more majority. In fact the three coun-
ties of Passaic, Camden and Atlantic
furnished $4,000 of the Republican ma
jority against 13, 900 in Essex.
South Jersey Republicans cannot
concede that the argument OF the Col
gate managers is sound. If they did
they would have to concede that all
candidates for Governor in the future
must come from Essex or Hudson
county; and if they concede this they
shall need to move into Essex or Hudson
Tor go out of politics. The sectional ar
3gument is the silliest that has been ad-
yanced in this campaign and am sorry
to see it raised.
Records count with the voters in
these days. not places of residence, and
any other argument is an insult to the
present-day intelligence.

What widespread and far-reaching

or tolerant aud reasonable; selfish or
unselfish; cCnceited or modest I;
thoughtful or unthinking; these and
many others are samples of vast va
riety of habits Of mind and manner
from which gcry person may choose

should reIlein!;cr that their personal
bearing toward their fellows has a
vast deal to do with their success In
life. We rise or fall very often ac-
cording to the estimate given to our
personality by those about us. What
is called tact" which is but an abbre-

Press Comments.


There was nothing in what Mr..
Hughes said or did in California or in
the reception given him which gives
excuse for long range criticism. The
lonesome Philadelphia North Ameri-
can pretends to fear Mr.. Hughes has
Spilled the BEANS" His bad break,
in its opinion, was in announcing that
he was in California as the represen-
tative of the Republican party nation
ally and not to decide for the Califor-
MIA Republicans whom they should
nominate for United States senator.
They have a primary for that. We
can appreciate, in measure, the SEN
sitiveness of the North American at
the use of the term Republican, but
Californians are. not averse to the
name. The special correspondent of
the New York Times, one of Mr..
Hughes severest critics, says that
there was no misunderstanding in Cal
ifornia as to Mr.. Hughes attitude. He
was given rousing ovations every
where. The leading Republicans and
former Progressives served on the re-
ception committees. Never was a
candidate given more enthusiastic well
come in the cities visited. Hiram
Johnson and Willis Booth are in a
sharp contest for the senatorial nomi-
nation and neither was given promi-
nence in the Hughes reception, but
friends of both were on the commit
tees. The Times correspondent says
the prevailing sentiment is that the
primary strife will not hurt Hughes.
Both sides have announced their sup
port of Hughes. Had he taken sides
in the primary contest, there would
have been real danger to his own vote
in November.
Mr.. Hughes kept within the pro-
prieties as to this, even as he did with
reference to the San Francisco Com
mercial Club banquet. He had ac-
cepted an invitation rendered by the
Commercial Club before there was any
trouble with the walters, and he could
not gracefully break the engagement
or inquire into the merits of the con-
troversy. San Francisco labor leaders
were fair enough to recognize this and
veral of them occupied the platform
at his subsequent meeting. The DEM
ocrats reveal lack of political am
munition when they are forced to seize
upon such trivialities.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
