GREAT PREPARATIONS FOR
HAMMONTON FIELD DAY.
Committee Making Strenuous Efforts
to Make 1t Far Surpass Any
That Have Ever Been Held

T~hirty-ive years ago Atlantic
County held an annual Agricultural
Fair at Hammonton. For some I'M
known reason it was abandoned. Last
veal the State Horticultural Society
held a field day here. 1t was an un-
questionable success. Last February
at our Vocational Farmers Week ex-
~ercises the writer, as chairman of the
Peach Day program, was asked by
Director Maltby to appoint a commit
tee comprised of the various farm
enterprises, to number five, to perpet-
uate the good work done. This COM
mittee decided that owing to the huge
success of the Horticultural Field Day
exercises held last year, and the in
terest taken in the same, that they
were justified in repeating it and ma
king it an annual affair as our Ham
monitor Park was admirably situated,
handy to the whole county. Hence
the committee called in other mem
bers from the County and town and
we have all been working for the sue
cess of the enterprise. They are now
working on a premium list for con-
testants of best fruit, dressed poultry,
eggs, vegetables, and farm products,
not forgetting the ladies'. They want
exhibits from them of canning, bak-
ing and fancy work. Remember our
premiums are not large, but recogni-
ton many times counts for more than
money.
Competition is the life of business.
If there was not competition we would
be lifeless. Now where there is en-
terprise to Guido your n~eighbor to
grow better fruit, to grow better
crops, to make heater homes, it is a
good sign of prosperity. Now why
not all pull together and by this COM
ing Field Day, to be held at Harmon
ton Park September 9, 1916, make it

GIRL DIES FROM EFFECTS
OF EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL.

May Sanford died Sunday evening
at the Atlantic City Hospital from
the effects of excessive use of alcohol.
She had been found nude and uncon-
scious in the shack of Capt. Elmer
Steelman at Somers Point on the
Thursday night previous. She was
known as "Good Time May" and it
is believed that she was a member of
a joy ride party who abandoned her
at the shack. No evidences of foul
play we're discovered by the County
Physician.

PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS

The Democratic national con
vention of 1912 was held in Bal
timore from June 25 to July 2, AL
ton B. Parker being temporary,
and Ollie M. James, permanent
chairman. Forty-six ballots were
taken, Champ Clark leading till
the thirtieth, when he was
passed by Woodrow Wilson. On
the tenth and seven following
ballots Clark got more than half
the votes cast, but as two-thirds
are necessary in a Democratic
convention, he was finally de-
feated. Other prominent candi-
dates were Judson Harmon Of
Ohio, Oscar w. Underwood of
Alabama and Thomas R. Mar
shall of Indiana. Marshall was
chosen as the candidate for vice
president on the third ballot.

The mar who buys and reads his
home paper demonstrates both his pa
triotism and his intelligence by the
act. Pleasantville is made up of two
classes of people-those who DO and
those who DON'T. Don't be a "don't."

PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS

The sixth president was the
son of the second president, and
the twenty-third president was
the grandson of the ninth presi-
dent. William Henry Harrison
was the eighth and Benjamin
Harrison the tenth in descent
from Pocahontas and John Rolfe.
Lincoln was the first president
wearing a full beard, Grant the
first wearing a mustache. Blu
chanan and Cleveland were bach
elors when they entered the

Cleveland surrendered during his
first term. Washington, Mon
roe, Pierce and Hayes were born

HUBIN STILL BOOSTING

Frank Hubin has just had printed
5000 cards which he will send out to

We do not claim that the mere use
of want ads will produce prosperity.
But it seems more than a coincidence
that most prosperous people are quick
to recognize the value of classified
advertising. Let us supply your
