- If the Is, 27S 901 girls in America who
are film struck could have been crowd
ed on the beach at Ravenhall's, Coney
Island, Saturday, it would have done
each of the l3, 27S, ,9O1 considerable good

They would have seen Marie Dressler
at work. Poor Marie fell backward out
of skiff at the director command and
was pulled ashore by rope tossed to
her. Again she rolled out of skiff,
caught a life preserver tossed from a
power boat, and was towed at high
speed through the waves for quarter
of mile.
Then she climbed into an old auto
mobile body, lashed to an improvised
raft 1000 feet from shore and went
through a number of antics demanded
by the scenario, while the surf rocked
her perilously. At last it happened
the thing capsized and Mortified on
lockers gasped when Miss Dressler did
not Immediately reappear. It was
thought she was pinned under the
automobile body. But after breath
less half minute she emerged and swan
to safety. She was almost exhausted
and the director kindly called it day

WHITE HOUSE
IN new JERSEY

All the executive offices of the
White House have been transferred
to Asbury Park.
=. For the first time since Mr. Wilson
has become President a complete staff
of secretaries, clerks, telegraphers
and other attaches will accompany
him on his vacation. For the last
three summers he has spent short
periods at Cornish, n H., but then he
took only his personal stenographer
with him.
Although President Wilson plans to
spend most of his time at Shadow
Lawn, the estate at Long Branch, N
j., he will go to Asbury Park often to
attend to public business. A suite of
rooms has been engaged in modern
office building there and Office furni-
ture from the White House has been
forwarded.
The President will have with him
during his vacation Mrs. Wilson, Miss
Helen Woodrow Bones, his cousin;
the Misses Lucy and Mary Smith, of
New Orleans, also cousins, and DR..
Cary T. Grayson, the White House
physician, and Mrs. Grayson. Secre-
tary Tumulty has a cottage sat Asbury
Park, near the executive offices. Sec
retary and Msr. McAdoo have a cot
tage at Spring Lake, only few miles
away. They will be frequent visitors.
Vance G. Mccormick, chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
who has headquarters in New York,
is expected to visit Shadow Lawn at
least once week and probably often
er. Secretary McAdoo, Fred B. Lynch
national committeeman from Mime
sofa; Secretary Tumulty, Postmaster
General Burleson and other political
advisers of the President, will be in
constant communication with him.

CANNING
TOMATOES
Many Being Put Up at
Factories.
HELP is SCARCE
rlany Tomatoes Being Shipped
Away to Baltimore and
Camden.

hS tOLudlO StdSOu, DOlu lOT the can
ming factories here and for shipping
to Camden and Baltimore, is about at
It's height; and thousands of baskets
of the fruit are coming in from the
farmers fields daily.
The canning factories are using all
they can get the help to put up; they
/ would put up more than they are do
ing. were it not for the scarcity of
female help.
Notwithstanding the good money
Women@ can make in these factories,
there are more places than women
can be found to fill.
Down Grove st. at Eagle st. way,
at the E. Pritchard plant and the Gar
rett-Bergen plant, there is room for
many more women. The contracts
made with farmers at $40 a ton, does
not furnish all the tomatoes desired.
even for the help at hand, and there
! are local buyers in the market bid
ding against those who are buying
for the Campbell Tomato Soup fac
;tory IN Camden, and factories in Bal
stimore who are annual buyers in this
Kicinity.
: There are two factories in Balti-
more, who have buyers here, and, with
the Campbell Co., about an average
of 10000 baskets of tomatoes per day
is taken from this place.
One of the buyers for Baltimore,
Folker & Son, of Bridgeport, N. j.,
We're buying the early crop at Bridge
port, and they sent from that place
100000 baskets before coming here.
The prices paid at Bridgeport
ranged from 15c per basket, to 31hc,
which was the highest notch reached
at that place.
Price here got up to as high as SAC
per basket; that was when there were
several boats loading at the same
time. Yesterday the price ranged
from 21c to 25kc, with five buyers in
the field.
There are boats in the various
creeks at at landings, buying up the
fruit, both for Baltimore and Camden.
but no reports have been received
here as to the prices paid nor the
amounts sold, nor where they were
sent.
There will be yet pretty good crop
OF tomatoes here, after all is said and
done, if frost holds off, for the patches
are still full of green fruit, which will
Tipen and be ripening for near a
month yet, but before this is all ready
for the market, the outside BUYERS
will have left, and the remainder of
the crop will be taken by the local
Gamers at, probably, the regular
contract price, which is $40 per ton,
After the packing is done there will
be filling the kitchens and pickle lars
and labelling jars and cans, which
Will require a number of women un-
til we'll on towards the cold fall days.
Besides the factories mentioned
above there are as has before been
mentioned, the two Laning canning
factories on Water ST., the w. T.
Laning G Son plant, and the George
Lanlns plant, and the Clinton B. Ay-
ares plant, and these pants keep
great congestion of tomato teams on
water and Vine Streets and on Cot
tage Avenue.
IL is no unusual sight to see over a
hundred teams down that way waiting
to be unloaded. It's a busy locality.

Yesterday was the first of the three
registration days for municipalities
and the election Boards were at the
various polling places registering
names and revising the list of voters
One week from today the various cleo
ton boards will send out to all per-
sons entitled to vote, copies of the
sample ballots. These ballots will go
through the mails, every voter re-
ceiving a Republican and Democratic
ticket. These the voters can study
and determine how they want to vote
on the 26th of September, when the
primary polls will be opened from
seven o'clock in the morning until
nine at night The Pioneer is print
ing the primary ballots for Bridgeton
and most of the townships in this
section.
The primary campaign in this coun-
ty is being prosecuted quietly. There
is sharp contests apparently for Gov
ernor and United States Senator, but
otherwise there is no disputes for the
voters to settle. So far as the Re-
publican campaign for Governor is
concerned in this county, it is easily
apparent that Senator Walter E. Edge
will have an overwhelming plurality
of the primary vote. While Senator
Colgate of Essex, has spent some
money in providing publicity cam
paign for himself here, his candidacy
is not attracting much attention, and
]. Ward Richardson, former Member
of the Board of Arbitration and Mem
ber of the Riparian Commission, and
Sealers of Weights and Measures Fort
are the only Republicans of conse-
quence who are urging the Colgate
campaign. Edge will probably carry
every voting precinct in the county.
George l.. Record, the single tax
candidate for Governor, has content
ed himself with mailing some of his
literature into the county, and last
week made street speeches in Vine
land and MillviilIe to Indifferent au-
diences of curious people who gath
cred about his automobile.
The Democrats have but one candi-
date for Governor and of course H.
Otto Wittpenn will receive what DEM
ocratic votes are at the primary.
as heard from all sections of the
county, former Governor Franklin
Murphy will have majority of the
votes for United States Senator in
the Republican box. Former Senator
Joseph Frelinghuysen has had his
candidacy given wide publicity
throughout this section, and his ad-
vortising matter has been, striking.
But the rank and file of the Republi-
can vote seems pronounced for Gov
ernor Murphy and he is looked upon
as the successful candidate.
While the Democrats have four
candidate for United States Senator
the real contest is between the pres
ent encumbent, James E. MARITIME and
Attorney General Wescott. So far as
can be learned, the contest has not
as yet assumed a stage which indi- !

Will have a plurality of the Cumber-
land county vote.
Local politics are Indifferent and
there are no stirring contests which
VIII attract an unusual vote in either
the Republican or Democratic nri-
mary. J. Hampton Fithian will be
nominated for State Senator with the
vote OF every Republican who goes tn

F1thian's candidacy has the support
and encouragement of the people. His
ability is recognized, and there is
feeling that his election Will mean
proper and adequate representation
of Cumberland County in the Senate
The Democrats will nominate uar-
ry &. Bamicrd, of this City for Sena-
tor, but there are none who feel tbat
the Democrats can this year elect a
successor 10 Senator John A. Acklev.
The Democrats have not nominated
anyone for Assembly. The Republi-
cans have two candidates, but it is
conceded tnat Raymond Sheppard will
be nominated to succeed himself.
Neither party have named a candi.
date for Coroner.
In Br1dgetop the Democrats have
abandoned all effort to name local
candidates fer the primary. A candi-
cate for Freeholder and a candidate
FOR Justice of the Peace, both in the
Fifth Ward, are the only Democratic
candidates in the city. The Republi-
cans have a candidate for City Treas
urer and two Councilmen.
IL is understood that the Democrats
VIII write upon the blank spaces of
the primary tickets, names of candi-
dates for City Treasurer and for Citv
Council, this action providing candi-
dates for the general election in M.
