HAS NEW ROAD LAW

Representative Lee Elwood of
Howard county has written new
road law which. in the main, is much
the same as the present law. giving
he general administration of the road
laws to the county supervisors, with
the state highway con Mission the
advisory body and the curt OF last
resort. He expects to introduce his
bill this week.
Ii will be presented in opposition to
the Pitt-Johnston bill. now in the
hands of the highway committee of
the house. The Pitt-Johnson bill is
aimed at the state highway COM
mission and does away with that
body. Ii creates a state highway
commissioners with supervisory power
only. The Elwood bill sustains the
state highway commission and the
present. law. Its purpose, however. is
to correct the faults. rendered. the
present law as seen by its friends,
render the highway commission law
more workable, and to overcome the
principal objections made to the
highway commission law as it now
stands.

KICK BY ORSE
PROVES SERIOUS

Fred TeSsman, one of our progress
sive young farmers was seriously in
jured last Friday when he was Kicked
by hourse in front of the John
Wagner property in Ross. Mr.. Tess
man was bringing load of Poland
China hogs to this city for his broth
err III. A. Tessman, who was to hold
a pure bred sale m the stock pavilion
at the fair grounds on the following
Monday.
In some manner or other, one of
the hogs got out of the wagon and he
got down off the wagon to capture
the hog. In trying to stop the hog
the animal ran between Mr.. Tess
mans legs. throwing him to the
ground. When he fell he landed
squarely behind one of the horses he
was driving. The horse became some
what frightened and kicked viciously
striking Mr.. Tessman on the leg just
below the knee. causing a serious
fracture of the bone.
He was given medical attention
at once. DR.. Fulton thought the
fracture was too serious to undertake
local treatments and advised that
the patient be taken to the hospital
in Atlantic. Mr. Tessman was brou-
ght- to town but reached the Rock
Island depot just as the train was
pulling out. His automobile proceed
ed at once to Hamlin where the train
was caught and the journey continu-
ed to Atlantic.
The fracture was reduced at the
hospital that afternoon and Mr.. Tess
man made as comfortable as pos
sible. However, he suffered intense
pain several days, but today reports
from the hospital are to the effect
that he is resting a great deal easier
His wife went to see him this morn
ing and will probably remain with
him until tomorrow

BIC BOAT
ONE OF many

At the wharf of the Bridgeton Elec-
trio Company lies the immense barge
"Patuxet", discharging lumber for the
Cumberland Glass Manufacturing Co,
The big barge is owned by the
Southern Transportation Company
and is one of IS great boats owned
and operated by the corporation. The
"Patuxent" has a capacity of 500 tons,
but many of the barges of the concern
will carry 1000 tons. There are be-
ing continuously operated by the
Southern Transportation Company As
barges carting coal between Newport
News, Va, and Sparrow Point.
In the Chesapeake Canal there is
all the while a boat of the Company
which is constantly busy hauling the
barges through the canal proper.
The Southern Transportation Com
pany handles a vast quantity of lum-
Der all the time, and a part of their
wood product is ground up in three
pulp mills owned and operated by the
corporation.

SIGNS TELL
SAVE FOOD

Two huge electric signs preaching
the doctrine of food conservation will
be displayed on the north and south
sides of the Philadelphia city hall, as
the result of suggestion made by
rembers of the food commission
which met in this city las week.
The two signs, each forty feet long
by twenty-six feet high, will bear the
following inscription:
Food will win the war. Don't
waste it. Use less meat and wheat.
Buy home foods. Serve just enough !;
use what is left"
The letters on the inscription will
be five feet high.
In displaying these two signs Phil
adelphia will be taking the lead in
the matter of advertising food econo-
my and the members of the commits
sion are particularly anxious that the
electric signs be displayed as soon as
possible

dealer paid one man $500 for his en-
tire flock. There has been an extra
demand the last few days for poultry,

81 CENTS
FCR TOMATOES
The High Price Yesterday
Here.
NOT MANY IN
flost of the Tomatoes are Going
10 the Outside Buyers Now.

From Daily Pioneer, September -.
Some one yesterday posted the fol-
lowing note ON the picture of a candi-
date for Sheriff, down at the Tomato
Exchange" The note had no refer
ence to the picture nor to the candi-
date.
ITO whom it concerns:
Get together and go down to
the tomato wharvas and drive
those sharks away so the can
house employees can make their
bread and butter for this winter.
1t is an outrage to business and
consumer
The farmers who are getting the
good money for their tomatoes do not
thinks the buyers are sharks, by any
means
Of course the women who work in
tie can houses are the sufferers, for
every thousand baskets of tomatoes
carried away means that much less
work for these women.
Yesterday tomatoes came in quite
freely but there was but little conges-
tion of teams, for buyers were on
hand with the cash at all times.
The price was all the way from 75c
a basket to Gle basket.
Some of the local buyers are fortu-
nate in getting some loads at less
price. AS an instance, one local buy
er was in the market all last week
and bought big lot He stated yes
terday his purchases just averaged
44c a basket
For all the high quotations there
has not been any great congestion of
tomatoes at any time, as in years not
so long passed, when Water Street,
Vine Street and Cottage Avenue in
the Third Ward, have been packed
with loaded teams for two squares,
and watchmen would have to be kept
there all night to guard the wagons
when farmers were compelled to take
their horses home and leave the load
ed wagons on streets. The same con-
ditions being on Bank st. and Grove
and Eagle Streets.
At the same time, it can be remem-
bered how the thousands Of baskets
were stacked along the wharves ready
for the boats and barges.
These things 30 to prove that the
tomato product, Notwithstanding tle
anticipated high prices last spring, is
not up to normal in this locality.
The prices now being offered by
buyers certainly goes to bring every
tomato forward that is ripe enough to
pick.
AT Greenwich yesterday tomatoes
4 were sold as "a cents.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1917-09-20

Burlington county farmers are har-
vesting the last pickings of the most
profitable tomato crop they ever have
grown. Although the area planted
was bigger than usual and the yield
was above normal, the price has nev-
er during the. season gone far below
70 cents basket. Some of the finest
specimens have been grown in the vi
cinity of Lumberton, where George
Bovine has been marketing a variety
that average over two pounds each
in weight.

The purchase price is not made public
The Fithian property is one of the
most substantial in the city. The big
brick building was erected years ago
by the late Robert j. Fithian, and for
years Mr.. Fithian and his son, E. M
Fithian, conducted a grocery store on
the corner and the residence was os-
cupied by the Fithian family.
Mr.. Whipple purchases the property
for investment. He has no immediate
intention of occupying it himself. He
contemplates making some consider
able changes to the building and pro-
viding desirable apartments there.
The corner store has for some years
been occupied as an office by DR.. w.

RIGHTS OF
THE SOLDIERS
Am a Will Guard her
Men.
CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
blii TO Protect Fighters From
Legal tnjustices During Alb
sence Abroad.

Washington, Sept 1S.-Legislation
to protect the civil and property
rights of soldiers-in effect a mora
torium for the duration of the war in
behalf of men who are serving their
country on the firing line-may be
placed upon the Administration pro-
gramme for this session of Congress
as a necessary element of the raising
of citizen army.
The Soldiers and Sailors Civil
Rights Bill to carry out this purpose
already has been introduced in both
Houses, having been framed in the
office Of Judge Advocate General
Crowder. Secretary Baker, it was
learned today, has under considera-
ton recommendations that the entire
weight Of the Administration inhu-
ence be brought to bear to obtain
early enactment of the measure.
Service as a Legal Excuse
To save soldiers and sailors from
all kinds of legal injustices during
their absence from home, the meas
ure would enjoin the carrying out of
certain civil court actions until after
the close of the war, and establish as
a leg.4 excuse for failure to carry out
certain contracts the fact that man
is in the military service.
1t is proposed that creditors suits
against officers or men may be held
up and judgment by default denied,
| the trainers of the bill recognizing
that a man in the army or navy
would have no opportunity to make
his defense in person or to arrange
or its proper hearing through coun-
sci
If such a judgment rested against
a man at the time of mis- enlistment,
the bill would prevent its execution
through the sale of his property dur
| ing his absence. 1t would set aside
the statute of limitations so that a
debt owed to a soldier might not be
| Outlawed in his absence.
Would Prevent Eviction
1t would prevent the eviction of his
| family while he was away if they
failed to pay the rent. 1t would pro-
tect his equity in any real estate or
other purchase contract in which he
| might have been engaged at the time
he went into the army. 1t would pro-
tect him against the ordinary results
of defaulted payments on business
| mortgages and keep him from being
sold out in his absence. 1t would in
sure any rights he might have to pub
lie lands, although his service at the
front had prevented lim from COM
pleting the legal acquisition of the
property.
Another element of protection the
bill would accord to the fighting man
would be as to his life insurance,
which could not lapse through fail
ure to make any payment His prop
erty also would be protected from
sale for taxes, and in every other way
in which the legal experts of the
War Department have been able to
devise all civil rights and interests
of men in the military service would
be safeguarded.
