North Wildwood Fire
Co. Burns Mortgage

The latest fire on Five Mile Beach
occurred last Saturday night about ten
o'clock at the Wild wood Yacht club.
There is no doubt about the origin of
this fire, for the match was touched by
the hands Of Lewis Kraus, president of
the North Wildwoo Fire Company.
In league with him were the secretary
of the company, John Heating, and
Senator Bright, both of whom stood
nearby and witnessed the burning, as
did also scores OF interested spectators.
The occasion being celebrated was
the anniversary OF the company and
the burning of the mortgage. The lat
ter represented S2600 worth of bonds.
which were consumed on a large plat
ter and the ashes scattered to the
winds. Secretary Heating introduced
President Kraus, and after the burn
lug ceremony was over he presented
Senator w. H. Bright as the speaker
of the evening.
The Senator congratulated the COM
munity upon being able to pay of all
of its Indebtedness and spoke feelingly
of the fine community spirit existing
Ia the North Wildwood section of the
island. He said that he found this
more marked here than in any other
place in the county. He was warmly
%applauded, after which the gathering
sat down to a fine supper.
1t was one of the most pleasant social
occasions held on the island in q long
time. The first president of the North
Wildwood Fire Company was Henry
H. Ottens and the first secretary was
Charley Glenn. Mr.. Ottens was not
present, but Mr.. Glenn participated in
the pleasures of the evening.
The original amount of bonds against
the company was $500. The money
to pay off the bonds was raised in var
ious ways, $500 Of which vas earned by
the Women's Auxiliary of the fire com
pany, who have been very active in
promoting the success of the com any.
During the evening dancing was in
Obliged in on the upper floor and there
was music oy the local orchestra.

from the roof and was almost instant

age and leaves a widow and daughter,
the latter about 20 years Of age. The
family resided on Young avenue. Mr..

COUNTY COURT NOTES

The April courts met at Cape May
Court House on Tuesday. The grand
jury was in session and adjourned un-
til next Wednesday. The members Of
the grand jury from Wildwood were
Freeholder Floyd Hewitt and w. M.
Beers. All others drawn were excused.
The trial of all civil cases was adjourned
because of the influenza epidemic in the
county seat and outlying districts. AT
ter the Grand Jury had retired, Judge
Black heard the report of the commit
tee of lawyers to prepare a memorial In
honor of Supreme Court Justice Alfred
Reed, who died last December at the
age Of 70 years. Morgan Hand re-
sponded by reading a paper and Surro-
gate Harry S. Douglass spoke feelingly
of Judge Reed, telling Of his kindness
to young lawyers. Judge Douglass said
he would never forget the assistance
given him by Judge Reed in his fret
case in court. Lawyer John b. Huff.
man, himself 81 years of age, and the
first lawyer to locate in Cape May
county (the fall of 1861 read a most
interesting memorial Of the dead Judge.
Mr.. Huffman told pathetically of an
incident that happened at Cape May
Court House when Judge Reed was
notified of the death of a son while
seated on the bench. He also told that
the only zeal relative left was a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Myers, who lived near Tren-
ton. Judge Black ordered the memoir
ials recorded on the county records so
that the present and future generations
could readand learn about the good and
learned judge. Judge Reed was born
near Trenton in 1889, attended the
Lawrenceville high school, Trenton
Model school, Rutgers college at New
Brunswick, and a law school at Pough-
keepsie, New York. In 1862 he became
a la wyer in New York. Later in the
he removed to Trenton and
served as Councilman and Mayor.
Shortly after he finished a term as law
judge Of Mercer county he was appoint
ed a Justice of the Supreme Court by
Governor Bedle in 1876. For about 20
years he served in this capacity the
lower counties of Jersey, including
Cape May. In June, 1895, Judge Reed
was appointed a vice-chancellor, and
after nine years in this office was re-
turned to the Supreme bench by Gov
Murphy. This time his circuit
was in the middle of the state. After
the memorial service Judge Eldredge
took up the license applications. All
of the old license holders of Five Mile
Beach made application including Bel
ton Cannon. All the Wildwood ga
looms have been closed since last fall
when the government order went into
effect. These applications are being
kept alive so as to be ready when the
ban is lifted, Notwithstanding the re-
port that everything is to be dry after
July 1st next. All the licenses in An
glesea were granted except Hotel Royal
and the Walnut avenue House. French
was the applicant for the Hotel
1t is believed these two will be
granted soon. The Wildwood commits
are keen after the revenue from
the liquor licenses and they are making
an effort to get an order from the Gov
eminent allowing the Wild wood
to reopen.

Waive Salaries as Firemen

North Wildwood, NJ, April 4, 1919.
Hon. ARTHUR N. PIERsoN,
Westfeld, N. J.
Dear Sir: At a meeting of the Angle
sea Fire Company, No. l, held on the
evening of April Sd, 1919, the matter OF
exempting firemen from taxation was
thoroughly discussed.
1t was the opinion Of the fremen
that. as the matter of service is not
compulsory but voluntary, and being
~ssboostersn with the welfare of the COM
munity at heart, they have no desire
to evsde their just share Of taxation
and the following resolution was unani-
mously passed:
Whereas, A bill has been passed by
the Legislature of the State of New
Jersey, exempting firemen from taxa
ton to the amount Of five hundred dol
lars, and
Whereas, If this law is found to be
constitutional it would prove a hard
ship to this city, therefore be it
Resolved, That the members of An
glesea Fire Company, No. ], waive all
claims of exemption for the year 1919,
and be it further
Resolved, That certified copies of this
resolution be sent, one to the City
Council and one TO the Hon. Arthur
N. Pierson, chairman Of the commit
tee on Taxation.

Expert Opinions Of Roosevelt.

Edward Box, editor of the Ladies'
Home Journal, states:
"No one man did more in the last
decade, to lift the moral standard of
the American people, or awaken
them to their fullest responsibilities
than Theodore Roosevelt. We owe
him, therefore, much more, in reali-
ty, than we can ever repay. All that
we can now do is to show our graft
tude to him by entering, to the
fullest of our ability, into the tribute
planned for him. Nor should we be
urged to do this; we should look upon
it as privilege gladly accepted and
met. No contribution that we can
make to any fund is so important as
is this, since it represents the very
core of the best Americanism, and
anything that this generation can do
to keep alive, for future generations,
the name of Theodore Roosevelt and
the clean, true type of Americanism
that he stood for is clearly our duty. !"
Irwin S. Cobb, war correspondent
and author, says:
HE could be wrong more often as a
politician and right more often as an
American than any man since Andy
Jackson. He had vision to see what
menace threatened us, long before
the danger became apparent to most
of the men Of his generation. He
had courage to beg his countrymen TO
prepare themselves against impend-
ing peril. To the struggle he gave
himself and his sons, and he died for
America as surely as though he had
died on the field of bltte with the
uniform of a soldier on his back and
bullet through his breast. Through
all the years of his life he served his
land, and Of his land Theodore Roose-
velt deserves memorial which shall
speak to future ages of his valor, his
work and his splendid Americanism. :"

Killing Quack Grass.

Those Of our readers who have land
infested with quack grass will do well
to get busy this fall while the ground
is dry and the weather favorable for
the destruction of this tenacious
weed. 1t is no small job to get rid of
quack grass once it gets the upper
hand. Last. spring little or nothing
could be done toward cleaning badly
infested fields beause we had too
much rain Quack grass eradication
and a rainy season do not go well to-
gether.
Now is a good time to pillow quack
grass infested land. PloW it just deep
enough to get under the roots of the
weed and then go over the field with
spring-toothed harrow. Go over it
again and again until large number
of roots are dragged to the surface.
Sometimes rake can be used to ad
vantage in punching the roots, which
may subsequently be burned. This
is especially true in dry season and
it is very good way to get rid of the
bulk of them. Keep the spring tooth
going until late in the fall so as to
prevent the roots from throwing up
new leaves. One cannot kill all the
quack grass in a field in single
season. 1t may take two or three
years, but it can be done with per-
sistent effort. Start the spriDg-tooth
harrow again next spring as early as
possible and tear up the ground once
more.
If the field is not too badly infested
it may be a good plan, after having
destroyed a lot of the roots in the
spring, to plow it rather deeply and
then plant to corn. Start the Guilt
vator Immediately after planting and
keep it going as long as the size of
the corn will permit. Go thru the
corn at least once week and by fall
there will not be much quack left.
If the corn can be put into tile silo
the ground can Immediately be made
ready for wheat. The wheat will be
harvested early the next summer
and may then be followed with
millet seeded thic!zly for hay. If
there is enough moisture in the
ground TO sprout the seed and reas-
enable supply is maintained, the
millet will choke out any quack still
remaining, and the year following the
land may be seeded to almost any
crop that it may be desirable to grow,
but a cultivated crop is to be pre-
ferred so as to make sure that every
spear of quack is destroyed.
if che ground is very badly infested
with quack it may not be desirable to
plant to corn the next spring, but
rather to keep up surface cultiva-
tiOn until about the middle of June
