CRANBERRY MARKET FALLS
Jersey Growers, Who Refused SO
and SO, Now Selling at $5 and Sc

Chatsworth, n. j., Nov. s.-Some
of the. central Jersey cranberry grow
ers who listened to the voice of the
protiteering tempter and held their
early crop for rising market are
likely to be immune to temptation in
the future as result of their expert
ence IN having to watch market prices
steadily decline during the last fort
night because of the sugar shortage.
Early bidders offered SIS and so a
barrel for the berries delivered at
Hincentown and many growers in Bur
lington county sold at that price.
Others held out for higher prices
and stored their crops. They are now
being offered 50 to So for the same
berries, and in addition must accept
the loss during storage. With little
prospect of relief in the sugar situa =
tion, some are unloading at the lower
price.
The general crop situation through
Burlington county is said to be fair
and the berries of good quality. Abb
scnce of frosts enabled the growers
to harvest the crop without injury OK
the berries from that source. Pick
ing is practically completed and sey

PHILOSOPHERS HUSH
OFFENDING SPEAKER
Foe Of Metric System Ordered
Down for Unbridled Attack
on Advocate

Attacking the speech Of Dr. Samuel
w. Stratton, director Of the National
Bureau Of Standards. who preceded him
as speaker last night before the
American Philosophical Society, Fred
erick \. Hlalsey became so severe in
his remarks that he was requested to
stop speaking by the president Of the
society.
According to members of the society,
Halscy is employed by New England
manufacturing concern to discredit the
metric system. Last night he spoke
upon request Of the society, so that its
members might hear arguments for and
against the system. Doctor Strattou
speaking in favor of it.
Halscy, say members of the society
rapidly allowed his talk to develop into
TRADE against Doctor Stratton and
his associates in the Bureau of Stand
ards.
Finally he began a reading of Doctor
StrattOn'S record in who's Who,
and Doctor Stratton protested, request
ing the speaker to contine himself tC
his subject. This objection was sus-
! tanned by DIR. William Il. Scott, presi
dent of the society.
Halsey persisted in his remarks, anC
finally told the audience that doctor
Stratton is wasting his breath and your
time by the things he has told YOU to-
night" Then he was interrupted by
DR.. William w. King, former presi
dent of the society, who took exception
to his remarks. He persisted, how
ever, and was finally requested to be
seated.

tinguished Polish patriot, who was n

ARRANGE EFORFUND
TO BOOST CITY PAY
Money for Street Repairs Also to
Be Covered in Loan
Legislation
DISCUSS TAX INCREASES

Salary provision for city employees
affected by the loan legislation will
probably be made by Councils finance
committee. and at the same time the
question of obtaining money for street
repairs. etc, will be taken up independ
emily of any loan legislation.
Salary increases for the Police and
Fire Bureaus and other branches Of the
city government for 1920 will be dis
posed of along with a study of the
S47 .S36. 500 budget for next year.
Budget totals, by reason OF the supreme
Courts action on the loans, will be
greatly augmented.
Chairman Gaffney has completed
plans for series Of evening meetings
to start on Monday and to continue
Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays un-
til December 10. when the needed in
crease in the tax rate will be deter
mined.
The problems that the committee
must face in the budget discussions
have narrowed down to an easily un-
derstanable situation, in contradis- :
tinction to those raised by the loan con-
troversy. The duty of the committee is
to cut items To an economical point and
then fix Il tax rate to cover income.
Provision must be made for increases
already promised many classes of work .
ers. for the repayment of the $4,000. 900
temporary loan and for salary items
for new places created by the charter
and to be created by Council in its re-
organization for the next administra-
ton.
Imperatively needed salary increases
are said to total at least $1,000 600.
This, added to the loan repayment, at
once boosts the grand total from SAT, =
S36, $50 to S51 ,S36, ,S85. From this
grand total can be deducted the ST. =
800, 900 that Controller Walton esti-
mates will be available as a surplus
the first of the year.
The grand total left standing with l.
out regard to the city's debt to the
government of some $4,000 for the
construction of streets, etc, approx
mates more than $50, ,000,0 900.
Controller Walton estimates city
revenue for 1920 at the present tax
rate of 81. - to be SAT ,433 ,679.57; at
rate of 81 50; $40. .1S4, ,171.52 and at
$500, S51 sos, ,901 SO. These totals
will probably be increased because they
are based on an increased assessment
on realty of about S62. 100000 when
the total increase on taxable property
will be 100000, 900.

"liob" Folwell' s'clcven had given their
utmost Of enthusiastic support to the
players who left for the scene of bat

The members of the University Band,
who are seldom out of their uniforms

Not for years has there been SO great
enthusiasm at the University over big

The Comeback spirit of Bob

Of the Red and Blue followers. The
songs and cheers of Pennsylvania have
never rung out so clearly and even
