SHIPPING LAST
SEASONS APPLES

Glassboro, N. j., July 24.-Fruit
growers in this region are still ship
ping apples from last seasons crop.
which have been kept over in cold
storage. Although early varieties of
apples are now ripe and are begin
ming to reach the markets, there is
demand for the cold storage fruit at
fancy prices.
The stored apples are principally
Stanmen winesaps, for which there
is ready all-year demand at city
restaurants and fruitstands, as AM
erican fruit growers have educated
the public to eat apples at all sea-
sons. There is a fair crop of yellow
transparents and other early apples,
for which growers are receiving
about 40 cents basket at the ship
ping stations. -

BARBER A
BRICAD|ER

Trenton, July 24.-Adjutant Gener-
al Charles W. Barber was today
sworn in as brigadier general, COM

will take over the Office of the adju-
tant, but no promotion will be made

clears. The Governor would prefer
to leave the post open until General
Barber is at liberty to accept it again.

PHOTOGRAPHS
OF COMPANY K
Many Excellent Views Are
Recorded.
MOTION PICTURES
Photographers Were Busy non-
day Getting Pictures of
Demonstration.

Since last Saturday the members
of Company K have been photo
graphed, snap shotted and filmed. AL
most continuously the boys nave been
facing battery of cameras, great
and small. The boys in the khaki
uniforms have been photographed by
amateurs and professionals alike.
The soldiers have posed for time ex-
posures and they have been caught
when least expected by someone with
a quick acting snapshot.
On Monday the entire Company
made two poses in groups for photo
graphers D. Ward, Emerson B. Garri-
son and Harvey Porch. The lads
posed on the benches where open air
services are being held, and they
posed later with the front of the Ar
mory as back ground. Some splen-
did pictures were thus secured.
Over on the Academy campus dur
ing the Monday demonstration there
was battery of active cameras re-
cording the various happenings and
incidents. Big cameras were set UP
in various parts of the grounds and
pictures were taken from every an
gle. D. V. Ward had his motion pic
ture camera in position all during the
program upon the campus, and he
recorded for all time upon the cellu-
loid film the happenings of this his
toric occasion. He obtained many
feet of excellent pictures.
Many of the pictures will be quick
ly developed and they will be much
sought after by the public.
A good many pictures will be car
ried away by the soldiers.

John Beck, an oysterman. whose

drowned yesterday afternoon in the
Cohansey river.
Beck was a fellow of dissolute ha-
bits, and yesterday was one of
drinking party, having a keg of beer
down along the river below South

The tragedy occurred about three
O'Clock. From information secured

plished this fact twice. Beck went
overheard and swept across the riv-
er. On the other side Beck was no.
ticed to throw his hands up and dis
appeared in the water amid mass
of docks.
An alarm was given and Council

er. There was no boat near. Be-
fore they could do anything Commits

Bridgeton pioneer., 1917-07-26


ing hour the march to the station
meant something. 1t meant that our
boys were going to war, were to par
ticipate in worlds war, the great
est struggle the world has ever
known.
The Bridgeton Band was at the Ar
mory to escort Company K to the
station. Promptly at six o'clock the
orders were given and the drab clad
soldiers with steady tramp, with SER
ious faces, with eyes looking straight
ahead of them, moved toward the sta
ton. All along the street were the
people who had early left home to be
among those who would say farewell.
AS the Company marched along the
people followed. Here was an old
father running along with a little
puppy in his arms. He wanted to
give the pet to his boy in the ranks
On to the station the soldiers marched
with military precision. The station
was choked with people but the
crowd fell back as the soldiers
marched down the platform to the
cars. The formation of the company
was held until the men were on the
train. Then the boys crowded to the
open windows and parents and
friends crowded to the cars. The
farewells were most affecting and
strong men were broken in tears as
they witnessed the sad scenes. Here
and there a mother swooned Now
and then sweet heart was led away
from the cars sobbing as if her heart
was torn out. Fathers threw their
arms about their departing boys with
tears streaming down their faces.
But witha1 the Company X members
showed the metal that makes soldiers.
They steeled their emotions and
were giving the loved one left behind
cheering and encouraging word. 1t
was an impressive occasion, one
that will live forever in the memory
of those who were present
The appearance of the company
was business like. Each man was
carrying the regulation equipment, a
heavy burden, and every man was
furnished with ammunition for his
arms.
The Company go to Camden where
it will join the Third Regiment, and
then on to Sea Girt where the boys
will be in camp. From the best in
formation now obtainable, the COM
pany will be at Sea Girt for four
months 1t is quite possible that the
New Jersey Guard will not go South
as originally planned. but will con-
tinue in their own state until such
times as they may be called across
the seas.
In the meantime the prayers and
hopes of everyone will be that before
the orders to go on the transports
may be issued. that there may come
an end of the war and a declaration
of peace.

From Daily Pioneer, July 25th.


Our boys have gone to war
Bridgeto1 this morning gave to the
government the best it had. made
the greatest sacrifice possible, that
the present worlds war may be won
Tor the liberty of nations.
Not since the morning when the
steamer "Pautuxant" carried awav
the Cumberland Greys in the DAYS of
the civil war, has there been an oc-
casion like that depicted at the Pen
ma. Railroad Station this mornign.
1t was 6.23 this morning when the
train pulled away from the station
carrying three cars each filled with
the brave fellows of Company K and
an additional baggage car which
was packed with the equipment of
the organization. Crowding about
the station were more than a thou
sand people. They had come to say
fal ewoll. There had been partings
between wives and their soldier hus-
bands. Mothers with tears streaming
down their faces had been torn awav
from the last embrace of their soldier
sons. Fathers had wrung the hands
of their soldier boys and brothers
and sisters had chokingly said good
bye to the lads now moving toward
the trenches somewhere in France.
AS the train moved slowly out. the
soldier boys leaning far out from the
car windows for the last glimpse of
those they loved, there were no
cheers. The band was playing, the
crowds of people were waving hand
ke! chiefs bidding God-speed to the
parting soldiers and every eye dim
med with tears following the speed
ing train as long as the cars were
within their vision. Lips moved in
silent prayer, as that solemn, great
throng turned in sorrow to their
homes. every heart being in sympa-
thy for parents and relations whose
sorrows seem greater than they can
bear. now that the actual sacrifice
mas been made.
The departure of Company X this
morning, followed a strenuous yes
terday at the Armory, and night of
final preparations and brief intervals
given for hurried visits to home and
loved ones. There was little sleep
for tnost of the members of Company
X last night. Capt Coyle was most
considerate Of his men, but the life
of soldier is not a play time. 1t is
serious business and military disci-
pline must be maintained Packing
and arranging equipment for remov-
al from the Armory engaged most of
the men str hours and during the
evening Captain Coyle permitted
squads of men to leave the Armory
and visit their homes. All through
the night there were throngs of peo-
pie about the Armory and the boys
had frequent opportunity to snatch
a few moments with members of their
sweethearts and friends
Vineland and Millville people came
over last night in automobiles and
joined the crowds for a glimpse and
chat with their own boys.
Early this morning the boys were
active, breakfast was served, and be-
fore six o'clock the boys were lined
up for the march to the depot, the
last tramp upon the city streets that
they will make for a long while Co.
K has paraded in Bridgeon many
times and the people have been proud

The LAST DAY
AT THE ARMORY

All was life, energy and activity
yesterday afternoon with the soldiers
of Company K in their Armory.
At every little interval "Tention!"
would be the call of an officer and
the men would spring to their feet,

A squad was detailed to bring in a
table and to bring up the gifts of
Testaments, kits, laundry bags and
French and English instruction books
Which had been presented Ito the
Company on the Academy campus on
Monday.
These gifts were arranged on ta-
Dles and as the names were called,
each man stepped forward and re-
ceived kit.
Then followed the giving out of
testaments and printed Slips with
the Cumberland song on gummed pa
per. The men were called in rapid
order and each received testament.
The men were then called in
squads as First Squad, Second
Squad and so on to Thirteenth
Squad and as they filed past the
table each was handed laundry bag.
The distribution ended, the men
were soon seated upon their hunks.
happily sorting over their gifts and
slowing them neatly ready for trans,
portation. y ~ -
The men seemed to appreciate ev-
cry article the kits contained. and
the testaments were carefully placed
in their pockets.
The distribution of those things
consumed quite a time and it was su-
perintended by Captain Coyle, with
1t. Wilson and Sergeant Hustled, with
Corporal Gardner Turner and Cor
poral L. P. Sutterly.
Corporal Sutterly had just been re-
lieved as Corporal of the Guard, his
place being taken by Corporal PEN
ton.
"Tention!" came the call from 1t.
Wilson, and Captain Coyle ordered
the men to get everything from their
lockers and place them on their
hunks. "These", he said, "will be
locked up tonight"
When this was completed the nom
commissioner officers were called in
line, and marched into the adjoining
room where Captain Coyle, with doors
closed, gave them final instruction
for about a half hour, reading and
explaining to them the articles of
war.
Drill and guard mount followed,
which ended the last days. duties at
the Armory and in their home town"
The boys at the leisure intervals
amused themselves with music and
song. They had guitars, accordions
and some other instruments. The
songs rendered most Justify were
"Tipperary' and "My Cumberland"
The boys all appeared as happy as
children preparing for a Sunday
school picnic. A noticeable feature
was th1s-that among this large
number of young men no profanity
was heard. Captain Coyle stated they
are fine lot of creditable young men,
They will be credit to Old Cumber-
land!
Packing up their effects and get
ting ready for their early removal
this morning consumed the remain
