FASCINATING FRIVOLS FOR THE
SHOPPER.
Only the woman who makes a
round Of the shops very often is able
to pick out the latest of the seasons
novelties. Much that is unusual one
week grows quite commonplace the
next, and yet an article may have
some intrinsic art value which makes
it very desirable to own.
Certain trifles may make one cos
tune quite perfect, or spoil another
altogether. In short, good taste is
never so much in evidence as in the
choice of small things.
A short shopping excursion today
disclosed some lovely new ways of
trimming a hat with nothing but a
veil. The smartest of these wells are
patterned like Paisley shawls. The
most costly are embroidered in gold
or silver thread.
Steel cOIOred cords have been add
ed to the lost list of waist garnitures.
An original one-piece frock has the
waist line perforated for a draw
string and run through with a fiat
beaded band, just as ribbon is run
through lingerie.
Few gowns are complete without
a variation of the sash. The huge
Japanese obi appears once more in
loose dresses designed for house
wear.
Many swagger sticks are to be
found in the shops and a few are
seen upon the street. They are even
more swagger. than might be expect

THE POULTRY
BANQUET

Tomorrow night the annual dinner
of the South Jersey Poultry Associa-
tion, will be enjoyed at the Moose Au-
ditorium. There will be in excess of
100 guests about the tables and many
will be disappointed in not being able
to get tickets. Elaborate arrangements
are being made for the dinner, which
will be served by the Mems Club of
the West Presbyterian Church. Tur-
key will be the piece de resistance.
There will be several prominent gen.
tlemen who will make addresses when
the cigars are lighted. Among those
who appear upon the banquet card as
speakers are Mayor Arthur C. Whita-
ker, Judge Leroy w. Loder, Internal
Revenue Collector Samuel Iredeu.
Henry s. Garrison. J. Ogden Burt, L.
Willard Minch and Roscoe C. Ward.
An orchestra will provide music for
the occasion, and there may be some
other pleasing surprises.

ABOLISH THE
1OLL ROADS
"SoO

n That the day for requiring the trav-
saeling public to pay for the use Of
roads and bridges is past, and that
sall toll roads and bridges within the
State should be purchased by the
State, tolls abolished and public ira
vel thereOver made free, is the judg-
ment of the committee appointed last
year to investigate the advisability Of
eliminating these highways and
bridges which are owned by private
concerns.
The report. indicates that three
bridges and similar number of turn
pixies which were made the subject
of the commissions Investigations
could be purchased for $611,085,
which in the judgment Of the commits
sion is fair and reasonable price.
The turnpike and bridges enumerat-
--Gd in the report and the price asked
for each are as follows: Gloucester
turnpike, $6S,000; Bridgeton and Mill
vile turnpike, $4,000; Marlboro and
Quinton turnpike, $4,000; Ocean City
automobile bridge, $271,639; Long
Beach bridge, $93,446.16; Toms River
and Seaside Heights bridge, $150,000.
The commission suggested the Legis-
lature to authorize the appointment
of commission to act in conjunction
with the State Road Department and
the Governor with power to purchase
the roads and bridges in question. If
it be found impossible to obtain an
appropriation to acquire all Of the
bridges and roads in question the re.
commendation is made that the pres
ent Legislature MAKE an appropria-
tion of $150,000 to purchase those
deemed advisable to be secured i'm
mediately.

M|LLvILLE IN
LIQUOR FIGHT

Millville, N. j., Feb 13.-Undaunt-
ed by the threats of the Bible classes
and brotherhoods to publish the
names of those who sign the petition
to submit to referendum vote. the
question of the passing of an ordi-
nance to eliminate booze from Mill
Vile, which petition is being circu-
lated for the purpose of holding up
the drastic ordinance now pending
before the city commission, the liquor
advocates have placed referendum pc
titions in the clubs and pool rooms
of the city. They claim that they will
have 450, which is the required num-
Der of signers to have the question
submitted to vote of the people, be-
fore Friday, when the ordinance
comes before the commission for fin
al passage.
The petition claims that the per-
sonal liberties of more than one-half
the voters of Millville are abridged
by such an ordinance, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Millville is by law q
dry town. The liquor advocates
further claim that they would have
no trouble in killing such a measure
at the polls. Every church in Mill
vile will have committee at the
meeting of the commission on Friday
to urge the passage of the ordinance.

Jamestown, N. Y, Feb. 13.-Three
cars of anthracite were confiscated
in the Erie yards here today by the
police under orders of Mayor Carlson.
1t is to be sold in small lots to re-
lieve the coal famine here.
The natural gas pressure has been
extremely low for week and suffer-
ing from the cold has been great, the
mercury registering from ten to twen-

season with no risk except on wealth
er conditions which determines the
size OF the crop, and market for
his goods after his pack is made. or
such portion of his pack as is not
sold in advance.
Failure on the part of the growers
to make contracts tends to discourage
local Gamers and deter them from
putting the large investment needed
in plant which can operate at best
only about two months in the year.
The open market buyer usually has
his factory locaetd in a city where
he does not need to make much ad-
vance preparation as to help. If there
is surplus stock, or a slack demand
for canned goods, he is under no OBJ
legation to buy tomato from any
farmer. He buys only when it is ad-
vantageous for him to do so, while
the canner who has made advance
contracts, must take the pack wheth-
er it is profitable or not, and taking a
ten years period it is known that
thousands upon thousands of dollars
have disappeared in the canning bu-
siness On account of lack Of demand
for the canned product at profitable
price.
The war has of late made conditions
different for the farmer, but these
conditions are only temporary and
when they change it is possible that
it may be seen that a mistake was
made in ignoring the local Gamers
and not insuring them enough toma-
toes to warrant them in keeping their
factories up-to-date.
In years agOne there were unfortu-
nate features of the tomato growing
business, and one of them was that
the farmer had to finance the factor
les. He took all the risk. He con-
tracted to furnish tomatoes to be paid
for December goth, and if the Gamer
failed in the meantime the farmer
was the loser. That was wrong. The
farmer should be able to sell for cash
and not on three months time without
any security, and we do not blame
any grower for refusing to contract
unless the contract provides for pay
ment on demand, or weekly. The far
n4er r.shs 5roIins cfop, lut sh5l33S
not take the canning business risk in
addition.
There is another unfortunate fea-
ture hard to overcome and that is the
delay in unloading wagons in the
height of the picking season Toma-
toes will go through the factories
about so fast, and they cannot be
hurried. When the growers bring
them in too rapidly they have had to
wait to have their wagons unloaded
in the past and may have to in the
future. 1t would seem to be almost
impossible for a Gamer to entirely
overcome this delay. If he could
easily obtain enough help TO operate
his factory day and night, that would
help to solve the problem, but the
help feature cannot be regulated and
controlled.

Independent dealers and iohbers
from III over the country are nrriVing z
in Tulsa after attending the conVen-
ton in st. Louis and while reporting a
most enjoyable time are more than
ever convinced that tho coming wear
is going 10 be the largest In the his
tory Of the oil trade and that on aC-
count Of the tremendous consumption.
one dealer from Iowa says that his
Ford dealer, who Is his best customer,
IS unloading four cars per week.
where wear ago two cars would n9ve
supplied his trade. 81 have advanced
him money to pay the Ford people
before the cars are sh'pped in order
to get prompt shipment and therefore
know what | am talking about.
Another dealer from 81 Paso says
larger trade than last year and cattle
men who are the principal customers
for automobiles are buNirg larger
cars than usual Our trade should In
crease fully SO per cent over last year
and last wear was a mighty good year
We have fifteen thousand regular sol
diers stationed at FL Paso and have no
fear Of Mexican invasion"
From the above, and It would be
easy to quote mary more, II IS easily
seen that gasoline is going to start
soon on an upward turn in price
which means that the rcfincr in the
Continent Iield can easily lead
the way Just as the refiners in ShrCvc-
port are dong now. Down there they
are paving 80 cents premium and the
pipe lines were obliged to raise the
price at least 80 cents to hold even a
part of tie light oil business.
The refincrs are ready to take care
of big Increase in business, as fer
instance. the CCsden plant has been
enlarged during the last six mCnthS
and as socn as additional stills are
completed, there will be total of 10
rev stills refining oil. There is total
