No consideration will influence

Fire At Bowers

On Friday night of last week twelve
summer cottages on Bowers Beach, a
summer resort for the people at Mil
ford and Dover, were burned. They
were all two story buildings and val
ued at from 800 to $1,000 each. The
total loss is placed at $4,000. They
were %unoceupied and were set on fire.
Penns Grove fishermen used to
make Bowers a fishing headquarters
in past years.

V THE RIVER"

Farmers in Delaware have agreed
to ask $50 a ton for tomatoes grown
the ensuing year. Some say that If
the n do not accept their offer
at this amount, they will put their
acreage in corn, which they believe
would pay them better.
The Penn's Grove record., 1919-01-31
River Improvement Appropriation

Those who want appropriations ask
largely and get less. For the i'm
provement of the Delaware river
which now has a depth of 80 feet in
the main western channel, $780, 600
were asked to be put in the appropri-
alton bill now being formulated in
Congress at Washington. 1t has been
cut to one million dollars.
Past Engineer Ladue, in Philadel-
phia, says that the chief difficulty
now is getting contractors to do the
work. There will be no need in slow
ing down in the program for a year
on account of money. With the sur-
plus on hand and the S. 100000 ap-
preparation we shall have nearly
$4,000, 900.
The building of a wharf from the
Delaware Ordnance Depot to the jetty
below the mouth of Oldmans creek
will afford another place to flow the
mud taken from the river. There is
also need to dig out the river beside
the wharf for deep draft ships to land
for nunition. The depth of water at
the end of the wharf is % feet at
high water and 6 feet less at low
tide.

Will Widen Avenue

John P. Nields, attorney, appeared
before the directors of the Street De
partment, Wilmington, on Monday
and made application for the widen
ing of Pennsylvania Avenue from the
B. and O. railroad to the city limits,
Nj. Nields represented Pierre S. du-
Pont, who desires to widen Pennsyl-
vania Avenue as he widened Delaware
Avenue and Eleventh Street. Mr..
dupont proposes at his own expense
to widen Pennsylvania Avenue from
70 feet to 80 feet. He offers to deed
the city the strip of ten feet at his
own expense. With the widening of
Pennsylvania Avenue it would provide
a 54-foot roadway and a 12-foot pave
ment.
The directors of the Street and
Sewer Department suggested to Mr..
Nields to present in writing the propo-
sition of Mr.. dupont.
In connection with the proposition,
resolutions providing for the widening
of Pennsylvania Avenue in accord
with Mr.. duPont's offer, were read by
the board and deferred for final ac-
ton until some subsequent meeting
of the board.

4. |. dupont Heads Tax List

The largest Philadelphia taxpayer
or personal is Alexis |. dupont, who is
listed as owning personal property
valued at $5,419,382. The second
largest owner of taxable personal
property in the city of Philadelphia is
a woman, Mrs. Frederick CORTLAND
Penfeld, wife of the former ambassa-
dor to Austria.

In looking over an old paper called
the "Blue Hens Chickens" printed in
Wilmington, October 8, 1847, it was
learned that wheat was $1.25 a bushel
and whisky 25 cents a quart. Those
were the days of good old apple jack,
when the price of a quart could be
bought for the price of a drink now.

Influenza In Wilmington

During the last week there were 81
deaths in Wilmington from influenza
and lobar pneumonia. During four
days this week there were 20 deaths.
AS Wilmington is such an unhealthy
place to live in is it any wonder people
wish to remain in Penns Grove and
Carney Point.

The Goose and The Hen

When a goose lay an egg, she just
Waddles off as if she were ashamed of
it because she is a goose. When a hen
lays an egg she calls heaven and earth
to witness it! The hen is a natural
born advertiser. Hence the demand
for hens eggs exceeds the demand for
goose eggs, and the hen has all the
business she can attend to.-Andrew
Lang.
Eggs are worth 5 cents each. Buy
a hen and have more eggs.

Postmaster English Has Another Tern

James J. English, postmaster of
Wilmington, whose reappointment had
been held up in the United States
Senate for several weeks, has had his
appointment confirmed, action being
taken Wednesday. Mr.. English was
first named as postmaster four years
ago, and when his term expired there
were some dispute between the Demo-
cratic United States Senators from
Delaware respecting his confirmation.
That was adjusted finally.

The writ is returnable to- morrow
 Examination of the prisoners de- veloped the identity of number of them as assistants of anarchists and anarchist organizations known here for years, the police asserted.

New York Cotton.


 New York, Feb. 26.-The cotton market was unsettled today by the circulation of the March notices that had been expected but failed to ap- pear yesterday. That delivery sold off to 22.25 or sixty points under last nights closing figures and back to within fifty points of the price for May. Trade interests were buyers at this difference against sales of the later delivery, however, and there were rallies later with March closing. at 22.60, or 25 points net lower while the rest of the list was 1 to 5 points net higher.
 The notices were estimated at be- tween 15,000 and 10000 bales and were generally believed to have been issued by houses with Japanese con- nections. Southern exporters were said to be taking up part of the cotton, but some of the notices were reported circulating in the street during the greater part of the day and led to a good deal of near month liquidation.
 Very little southern selling was re- ported here during the day and no further change was shown in the low grade discounts. Liverpool was a buy CT of March and May but sold July.

INVITE GOVERNORS
 TO CONFERENCE:

Washington, Feb. 25.-Invitation to attend conference at the White House March 3rd and 4th, to discuss vital questions affecting business and labor" was tefegraphed by Sec retary Wilson tonight to governors of all states and mayors of more than 100 cities.
 President Wilson is anxious to es- tablish before returning to Europe national policy for the resumption of private enterprise, as a means of lessening unemployment and conse- quent unrest and is understood to have given much thought to prob lems presented by cessation of war work and denobilization of the mili- tary forces. He is said to be ready to use every legitimate means in CO., operation with states and municipali- ties to bring about an early return to normal industrial conditions.
 Suggestions for the conference were made several weeks ago and tentative requests to state and city officials to attend have met wIth q ready response.

Grain adn Provisions.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Anticipation that the hog price minimum would be re. moved had decided bearish effect to- day on corn, but was counterbalanced finally by talk of lifting hindrance on the export of pork. The corn market closed nervous, 1c net lower to 3-4c advance with May 126 1-8 to 126 3-S and July 122 Is to 122 IA. Oats finished unchanged to 3-8c higher and provisions down 20 cents to 50 cents.
 Opinions that change was about to be made in the government policy of an agreed monthly average basis of values to be kept up for packers droves acquired quick general accept ance in the corn market. Previously belief was widespread that the Febru- ary minimum would be maintained during March.
 Oats reflected improvement in do- nestle shipping demand.
 Provisions were depressed by as- sumptions that the hog minimum would be abolished
