PARTY WAS
FROM GIBBSTOWN

Twenty-eight Camden men. bound
for the fishing grounds of Delaware
Bay for a holiday outing. swan,
scrambled and struggled from the
wreck of the motor cruiser Hattibert,
off Pennsgrove. late Saturday night
They saved their lives, but lost all
their belongings and were put in at
Pennsgrove penniless and forlorn.
The Hattibert, owned by H. W.
Brightly, a contractor, of No 1915
North Thirty-fourth street, Camden,
pulled out from the North Cramer
Hill shore with the merry party of
Mr.. Brightly's friends and neighbors
aboard early Saturday evening and
the run down the river was enjoyed
by everybody. They had plenty to
eat and to smoke and there were joy
GUS anticipations of a fine time with
hook and line when the bay was
reached.
Otto Dinter, brother-in-law of Mr..
Brightly, aided him in directing the
craft, a stanch cruiser that had taken
numerous race prizes when sailed
under the colors Of the Farragut
Sportsmen's Association of Camden
The lights of Wilmington and Penns-
grove were cleaning athwart the
bows about 10 o'clock when some
thing went wrong. There was an
ominous creak and jar and before
anybody could get an idea of what
was happening the engine seemed to
run wild and slam some of the plank
ing from the bottom of the boat The
cruiser began 20 fill at once and there
was wild cry and a dash for safety.
A batteau and a tender which were
carried were quickly filed, but could
not take all the passengers. The
others put on life-preservers, and as
the boat settled in the water, they
iumpd overheard. A launch from
Wilmington picked up 16 men and
took them, still dripping and wearing
the life-preservers, to the Wilson Line
wharf The other IL were picked
up by passing boats and landed at
Pennsgrove. to which place the sink
ing cruiser was towed after being
located. The men we're too excited
and frightened to tell their names.
The mishap gave rise to wild stories Of
the drawing of seven or eight men
in the party.

MITCHELL HERD
most profitable
Cows Milking Only Seven
Months Rank First in
Butter Production
FORTY OTHER COWS
ON HONOR LIST

At the end of the fourth month of
the Diamond State Cow Test Associa-
tion. there were only fourteen cows
eligible for the honor list, which means
that the cow shall produce forty pounds
OF butter fat OF one thousand pounds of
milk during period of thirty days.
June 20, the end Of the month, the mum
Der of cows on the list reached forty,
very near three times the number on
the list four months ago. There are
many lessons to be learned by the dairy
man from these figures.
Though the seven cows owned by
John c. Mitchell have been milking on
an average Of almost six months, they
are still among the leaders. The aver
age of the seven for the past month has
been l.ls6 pounds of milk and 1923
pounds of butter fat. These COWS fresh
ened in the fall or early winter. which is
the time always ADVOCATED by good
dairymen. These COWS have been on trial
before, as Mr.. Mitchell was a member
Of Pennsylvania Cow Test Association
before joining this one. He knows what
the work means to the dairy farmer who
does his part as a member of an asso-
citation.
Because Of the different methods en-
ployed by the individuals caring for the
COWS, the environments, feed, etc, the
comparisons that may be made between
herds is limited. The real value of the
work comes from the comparisons that
can be made between the COWS in any
one herd where conditions are similar.
The following is in reality an honor list
when we realize that the average pro-
duction of the cows in this State is
about 100 pounds of butter fat and
$500 pounds Of milk per year.

At the Methodist Church.

The subject of the morning sermon
was "Life's Quest" the text being
"What Seek Ye?" The real essence
of life is something that eludes the
grasp of philosopher, the scientist, the
surgeon. Life is quest: all men are
seekers after something with the ex-
ception of few parasites unworthy of
the name of man. Many seek in vain
and death finds the object of their
search as far off as when the quest
began. Many at the expense of great
sacrifice have given themselves over
to search after something and having
found it, their lives end, not in sun
burst of joy. but in disappointment
and sorrow. Our future is being
wrought and by our hands. What seek
ye? Eternity will contain those things
we have sought for here In view of
the fact that we cannot go back to cor
rect mistakes we ought to be exceed
ingly careful of the choices we make
now.
The subject for the evening talk
was "Jesus' Search for Lost Men. -
From the parallels of the lost sheep,
the lost coin, and the prodigal son.
were shown the value Jesus places
upon a soul an1 the patience with
which He searches after the lost The
talk closed with an earnest appeal to
recognize our lost condition and return
home before it is too late

Grand Army of the Republic, as given
at its 49th annual session, now in ses

ship is 1,725 now, as against 1902 at
the beginning of the year. There were
so deaths. The number of posts in
Vermont is now 86, none having sur
rendered their charter during the year.
The sum of $4,000 has been given
by Henry W. Putnam, jr., to build the
new Putnam Memorial hospital in
Bennington and the money becomes
available as fast as needed to pay for
construction. This splendid gift comes
entirely unsolicited and is made by Mr..
Putnam to add to the magnificent pres
ents of the waterworks system made
by his father, Henry w. Putnam. three
years ago.

Miss Mary Cheney Carpenter of St.
Johnsbury winning first place and Miss
Gertrude Howe Cramton of St. Johns
bury, second. The scholarships offered
by the University of Vermont for the

were awarded to Leighland F. Parker of

that the department will exchange
nursery stock, of which there is sur
plus in the state nursery, for this land.
In this way land is acquired without
direct expense to the state and more
nursery stock is planted than would be
otherwise. This has now become the
second largest state forest with ar
area of 1.400 acres. The Mansfield
forest, with an area of 5000 acres. is
the largest owned by the state.

of Grand Isle. RodIiffe's assistant, wh'
was found unconscious beside him, will
live. The men were engaged in re
charging the storage batteries of th'
light plant, beginning Friday after
noon. They were discovered uncon
scous at g. 30 Saturday morning. ROD
life never regained consciousness
Bushey says the last he remember
Friday night was seeing Rodliffe pu
up his feet on railing near the charg
ing apparatus and apparently drop OF
in doze.. After that everything is
blank. The theory is that the fume
from the acid solution in the batterie
escaped and slowly overcame the tw
men. It is not supposed that gasolin
fumes were responsible, although the
might have helped.
