Preparing for the Red Cross Drive
and Liberty Sing at Wildwood

A Liberty Sing, such as they are having in all large
cities, is to be held in Wildwood on Saturday, August "a,
1913, in connection with the Red Cross drive on that day.
Song Leader Jonpolski, from the Cape May Barracks, has
been asked to lead at that time and if possible a body of
sailors will be brought here to join in the singing. The
Wildwood City Band has also been requested to play.
Talent from the Wildwood cabarets have been asked to
sing, as we'll as singers from out of town. The music booth
will be located at the pier end of the Casino Arcade and a
large sheet will be erected, where slides of the chorus of
the songs will be thrown, SO no excuses will be in order of
Don't know the words" The music booth, where sheet
music will be sold for the benefit of the Red Cross, will be
open all day. The committee wants boy scouts, piano or
other instrumental players and vocalists, amateur or pro-
|fessional, to offer their services on that day. Report at cen
trail room in Casino Pier on Friday or Saturday, the 23d
and 24th, and work will be assigned. This doesn't mean
you will be tied down for the whole Saturday, as they will
work in shifts. Wildwood has always done more than her
share in anything she has attempted in a patriotic way, and
this drive and Liberty Sing should go along with the highly
successful War Savings Stamp and Liberty Bond drives.
Hang out your flags and bunting. Invite your friends down
for this day and let's show them what Wildwood patriotism
lis. Another feature of the day will be the sale of fancy
articles and foods by the Wildwood churches in the vacant
store adjoining the Wildwood Board of Trade room on the
boardwalk. All donations will be received by Mrs. Sara
Johnson, at the office of the West Jersey Electric company.
Fancy work, ETC., can be left at the home of Mrs. John O.
Macpherson, 122 east Maple avenue, or will be called for
on notice to Mrs. MACPHERSON. Mrs. George M. Adams
will be in charge of the cigars and flowers, while Mrs. Harry
Wise will have charge of the food sale, to be conducted in
separate booths by the various churches.

You Should Join the Wild
wood Golf Club Now!

Good intentions without actions
never accomplish anything. If you
have intentions of joining the Golf
Club come out and join NOW Call,
write or stop in the Board of Trade
office and pay up your money. Don't
let anyone deter you. Vincent
O'Donnell, the professional golf play
er is out on the course, between the
Wildwood Manor and the Ottens Ho-
tel, getting it in shape. Go up and
ask him all the questions you want.
There are lots of members but you
are invited to join. Later on you'll
be so infatuated with the game that
you will be talking golf morning, noon
and night.
Every member gets the same privi-
leges. Those desiring to buy more
than one membership card will have
the privilege of letting someone else
play on their membership card for
5oc per game. This curse is being
put on the beach to bring a larger
percentage of high class patronage;
it is also being established to encour-
age a closer relationship between bu-
siness and pleasure, and to teach all
of our residents how SO get recrea-
ton and a good appetite.
Golf is a game for men, women and
children; every mar owes it to him
self to join and also owes it to his
wife and children to have them join.
Don't c%riticise the game, unless you
understand it. Remember that Pres
ident Wilson gets his only recreation
in these times on the golf course, and
surely he is wise enough to know that
golf has something to it. Join and
be happy and healthy.

library, if you please, and a grand
success she's making Of it. Seems to
have been born for it, and says she's
going to make it her life's work"
And late that night Dan Wilkinson
lighted his pipe and strolled out and
along the once familiar streets. Finally
he turned a well remembered corner.
There it was, her home, the fourth
house down. He remembered well the
last time he had stood on those
steps and said good night, which had
also been goodbye. That night they
sat together on the piano bench in the
front room, singing and playing over
the songs of the day. She was twenty
then and he was twenty-three. Ever
since he had carried about with him
the troubled glance that had come to
her grave, gray eyes when he had told
her that he loved her.
"Why is it," she had said, that be-
cause of this thing called love l must
lose all my friends? l don't want to
marry anyone-and 1 don't want to
lose them all. And you will do just as
the rest have done, either go away and
V come near me again, Or else
hester me until l have to send you
away. What am 1 to do?" There was
a youthful bitterness in her young
voice that touched him, and later, on
the steps, he had taken her two cool
hands in his.
I'll not poster yGl, Nan, dear, nor
shall l go away to stay, for some day
I'll be coming back to you" And q
week later he had gone West.
So tonight he stood there in the
shadow of a great tree and smiled as
he looked at the front of the dark
ened house. She hadn't married, and
he wondered why? Because of her
life's work, perhaps.
Just after five the next afternoon
Nancy left the library and hasteneS
home. On the way she met Emily
Marsden, who laughed a greeting.
And have you heard the latest

After seven years everything looked
strange to Wilkinson. Spaces were
smaller, distances seemed shorter. The
town had changed but Iittle-and Dan
Wilkinson had changed a great deal.
Perhaps that is why this homecoming
al somewhat of a disappointment.
He strolled down Main street, turned
west on Washington and walked on
down the hill to the old home where
his welcome was q royal one. But still
it all seemed strange and unlike what
he had expected.
He had come home neither famous
nor rich-neither a failure nor poor,
but entirely conscious of the uccess
that was beginning to be his although
quite unconscious of the fact that the
breadth of mind and body that had
come to him had improved him vastly.
His aunt could hardly believe her eyes,.
He was so manly and yet $3.50 gen.
tie that she wanted to hug him when
ever he came near Such a frank,
tWlnkling boy-man, that he seemed al
most like her Own-the son she might
have had.
Adroitly, that first evening he drew
from her the history of all the old
friends, asking about this one and
that. But the question which he most
desired to ask kept lodging his tongue
until there was no one else left to
inquire about.
"And what about Nancy Lane? l
suppose she's married, too" he sug-
gested, rummaging absently through a
stack of old music.
THAT she isn't" said his aunt, spir-
itedly. "She's at the head of the new

Civic Club Opens Door to
Soldiers and Sailors ~

On Saturday, August Sd, 1918, the
Wildwood Civic Club placed its spaci-
Gus hall at Goth street and boardwalk,
at the service of all U. S. soldiers and
sailors. The announcement cards bear
the word welcome in large type. and
offer the privilege OF the club room
every day of the week from three p.
M. to ten-thirty p. m. Guests will
find plenty of stationery to supply their
needs, and wholesome literature in a.
Guidance. Musical Instruments of var
ious kinds will be at their disposal: A
piano, victrola, violin, eucalalie, man
dolin, guitar, banjo, etc. Dancing will
be permitted at intervals. Nothing pos
sible will be left undone to make all
visitors comfortable and delighted. On
the first day the room was opened, 56
sailors and soldiers were entertained.
Later. arrangements may be made for
supplying lemonade and light lunches,
to those seeking the hospitality of this
roof. A great public service has been
rendered by this move OF the part OF
the civic association in looking after
the interests OF 'our boys over here.n

ter of recognition of the young, writes
William c. Scully in the Atlantic
Monthly.
The brain is exceedingly small; its
weight has been computed to be in
the proportion of l to 1900 as COM
pared with the whole body. The
brain of the eagle is about 1 to 100;
that of the parroquet as 1 to 40. Ii
one deducts from the ostrich's brain
those portions specialized for sight
and hearing, the remainder is almost
infinitesimal. 1t has been related that
Hellogabalus caused the brains of 600
ostriches to be used for a single dish.
Yet the ostrich is by no means a stupid
creature.

matchless eyesight of these birds give
them d range of vision. probably unsur-
passed by any other hightless animal

UCAR HITS
SPAIN AND

In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
are soaring. Both countries have been
seriously affected by the short beet
sugar crop in Europe and the lack Of
pecan tonnage to o stocks of cane
yugar isolated in far away ports.
Granulated sugar, home grown, was
being sold in Barcelona, Spain, during
the early summer at 10 cents a pound.
The price of brown sugar in Lisbon,
Portugal, fixed by governmental order,
was $1.04 to SLIP a pound.
By comparison the price Of beet
sugar In Sweden Is IA cents a pound.
