GROWERS RULING
MEETS WITH SUCCESS,

At the recent meeting of the Allan
tic County Growers Association the
men decided to charge for all pack
ages when the contents were sold on
the wholesale market, Atlantic City.
For years back it has been custom
airy for the growers to get some of
the packages back and many of them
have never been returned. The grow
ers decided that this was not good
business nor was it in any sense prof.
liable. The men reported from 300
to 400 per cent. loss.
According to the association, begin
ming last Monday, July 90, they will
charge the purchaser the following
for packages:
R-bushel basket, 10c.
Bags, 15c.
Hampers, 15c.
Crates, zoe.
Barrels. 25c.
The purchasers have shown great
common sense in believing that this
is the only just to back up the
growers and they are cooperating
with the growers in the matter.
At the same meeting the growers
decided to place a man known as a
market master on the wholesale mar
ket. This man will look after the
growers interests. One of the duties
he will undertake is that of asking
questions of each farmer as he comes
in to the market, and be fully posted
as to the amount of products on the
market and the prices of any particu-
lar product. At the present time the
association is looking for a suitable
man, n who is honest, big enough
and satisfactory to carry this position.
The man will be on the market from
8 I 6 A. NJ.
At the last meeting % men joined
the association and paid their dues.
The association has now passed the
100 membership mark. The next reg
ular meeting will be this Saturday,
August 8. At this time each grower
who has attended the market will re-
port concerning charges for packages
and at the same time additional busi-
ness will be taken up.
Every grower who means business
should come to the Auditorium, High
School, Pl%easantville, this Saturday
night.

Also it is more retentive.

On grounds kept in good condition.

Prdu On For Peace.

Pray On Pray On That war may cease.
Pray to our God who can give peace.
He is the Father of US all
Children of men both great and small.
The mighty conflict he has in hand,
Therefore it can't much longer stand.
Thus far and no farther He permits,
Then checks the sway of Warrior Styx.
How gentle His command, but yet
The human mind is prone to fret.
Cast thy burdens upon Him we pray
Then arise and carry them away.
Sequential good from chaos will come,
National life more pure will become.
Gods eternal mysteries we cannot see,
They are invisible to you and me.
But in His own perfect way
Peace to this world He'll give some day.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
But prayer is mightier with Our Lord.
He listens to every feeble petition,
And is acquainted with every condition.
God still is on His Heavenly throne.
Hears and pities dying mans groan.
Pray On Pray On! And do not stop,
That tyranny some day shall drop.
Fervent prayer doth avail much
When righteous is the cry of such.
'Tis persevering prayer that counts
And to the throne of God it mounts
God listens and His children hears.
He knows their hearts and sees their tears.
God pardons and forgives their sin.
Then put completest trust in Him.
Our faith He is the author of
And doth perfect our hope and love.
1t is against His holy will:
Mans execution in this war mill.
All things have their purpose here.
Gods voice you can always hear.
Every cloud has a silver lining,
Remember the sun is ever shining.
Pray on for the break of day,
When war shall be swept away.
When its horrors shall be past
And peace declared at last.
Trust in God and ever pray
For the speeding of this day.
