Toys and girls. 5.
The citizens and residents of Five
Mile Beach have generously responded
to the library's support. OF this fact a
glance at the committees report dated

Cash contributions since that date
amount to S155, residents of the island
giving $40. To date fines have been
collected to the amount Of $2.35. 80

Many New Bungalows Going up
Over the Island

A remarkable condition has been
brought about in Wild wood through
the building of Que hundred bungalows
which with house and lot approximate
an investment of $1,000 or a total of
500, 600. SO far there has been built
for Henry H. Ottens, the well-known
land-holder Of Wildwood, twenty of
these model bungalows since late last
October while over fifty have been sold
aid will undoubtedly be erected be-
tween now and the first of May The
way things look the middle of June
will find the hundred mark reached 10
a section where this time last year or as
late as the middle of October there was
not a single house. Wildwood, with
its 500, 900 Ottens bungalow PROPOSE
ton, with it several other bungalow
propositions as we'll as several individ-
ual cottages and large apartments,
notably one apartment house at 25th
and the board walk, of large dimen-
sions, will easily show $500, 900 worth
of new operations with the coming of
the 1917 season. or conrse building is
somewhat restricted in the extremely
cold or rough weather Nof the winter,
but the forecast looks as though Wild
wood will enter a real season of real
estate progress with early spring. 1t
has dawned on Wildwood and its lead
ers that the present age is an auto
mobile age and that many men who
contemplate building large houses are
Building smaller cottages and buying
automobiles. Wild wood is arranging
to meet this condition in the enlarge
ment of its garages for the accommoda-
ton of it's motorists which this veal
will be greater than ever, and the i'm
provement of its roadways on Five
Mile Beachand leading there to To-
day Wildwood needs a second road, in
as much as the other beaches have at
least two roads while Wildwood has
but one. If a roadway to enter
Wildwood at the north end ofthe beach
were built it would make this resort
thirty minutes nearer Philadelphia for
motorists who could turn off the shore
road at Wild wood juno ion aud there
by reach the resort in thirty minutes
less time than it takes by running
down the shore road to Rio Grande
road which Is at the lower end of the
beach. The freeholders and business
men of Wildwood realize this and with
steps taken for the entire consolidation
of the resorts of Five Mile Beach and
the inclusion of Two Mile Beach with
the purpose of giving Wild wood The
benefit of the splendid government
hafbor at Cold Spring, it appears that
Wildwood is on the verge of momen-
tous doings this spring.

The Way Mother Used to Get That

A green goose from three to four
months old is a great delicacy and is
cooked like a game bird without stuff
ing. Season inside and out with salt
and pepper, put half a white onion in
side to absorb any strong taste, dredge
the outside with -four and roast in a
hot oven for about an hour. Serve
with boiled white onions and apple
sauce.
For an older goose-and, even So, it
should not be more than a year old
you may use the time honored stuffing
of potatoes and sage. Having thor
oughly cleaned and washed the bird in
soda water. remove all the fat that can
be reached from under the skin or in
side. This may be saved and tried out
to use later for goose grease. To make
the s%tuffing boil for twenty minutes or
half an hour a half dozen potatoes.
Peel and mash, adding to them a table
spoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of pep

and two tablespoonful of white onions
minced and fried yellow in butter. Mix
these ingredients lightly together, then
bind with two tablespoonfuls of melted
butter. Season the goose on the inside

tries, the Atlantic lanes would be dan
gerous places. The German admiralty
would probably dispatch many under
sea boats to the American shores of
the Atlantic and attack all vessels
bound for Europe. No doubt many
Americans would be killed.
The United States in opposing these
activities would act under instructions
issued by Rear Admiral Wihiam S.
Benson, chief of naval operations. De
s~troyers. the fastest vessels in the
navy, would probably be the chief re-
lance.
1t is doubtful if American troops
would be sent to the trenches in Eu-

regular army, a large part of which
is now on the Mexican border, would

A beautiful American flag, 10 by

pole 80 feet high in Park Square,
and may be seen waving in the breezes
for miles around as an edivence of the
community's loyalty to the Union. The
raising of the emblem was accom-
panied by fitting exercises.
Rev. w. S. Shipman asked the bless

registering should be exempted from

At the local registering place there
were several who stated that they had
father and mother dependent upon
them. Any number claimed exemp-

RECENT RAINS
BENEFIT CROPS
Delta Section Has Been Blessed With
Desired Amount-Hill Sections
Beginning to Suffer.

Judging from reports the rains have
proven sufficient and very beneficial
all over the Delta section, especially
in the Northern part, between Green
wood and Memphis, but in the hill
sections to the east the rainfall has
been very light.
Travelling men interviewed state
that the territory along the Illinois
Central main line from Winona to
Jackson is badly in need of rain. In
the eastern part of Carroll country re-
ports are that very little rain has fall
len since the early part of May when
the weather was so cool that the rain
did little good.
/ In Lefiore County the rainfall has
been sufficient The cool weather in
the early part of May, while injuring
the crops to a certain extent, also
prevented grass and weeds, allowing
the planters to get their crops per-
fectly clean and in fine shape. When
warm weather did come, with the nee
