CONCISE NEWSLETS
ABOUT THE CITY
Interesting Local Occurrences
Briefly Told

Miss Lulu H. Marvel, one of the
best known women of Atlantic City
died Thursday afternoon.
Charles M. Shewell, formerly OF
Pleasantville, has been elected build
ing inspector of Ventnor.
Although it is a terrible misfortune
to lose a home by fire, it is not nearly
so bad as losing the happiness of home
by the dissipation, unfaithfulness or
disgrace of one of the members of the
family.
Governor Edge this week appointed
James L. ODonnell, of Hammonton,
a member of the Atlantic County
Board of Taxation, to succeed Thomas
B. Williams. The term is for three
years and begins May first.
There will be a meeting of the men,
bers of City Council and the Trustees
of the Chamber of Commerce in the
City Hall on Tuesday evening, April
1st, at 7.30 o'clock. The new silk fac
tory and other matters of vital inter
est to the city are to be considered.
Let's sing a song as we go along so
everyone can hear, and tell them all
to trade this spring where goods are
not too dear; and bear in mind that
you can find right where these goods
are sold, if you will read with care
and speed the ads these columns hold.
In too many families the mother
assumes the care of everything and
her daughters are but genteel loung-
ers in the household. The work which
could be so easily and quickly done
if each bore a share, is left for the
hands already weakened by heavy u
dens.
The boy who takes his hat off when
he enters the house is the n who
usually has his hair combed and his
face clean, and the girl who says please
and thank you, is always prettier than
the one who forgets these little things.
You Just look around and see if this
is not true.
Let every youth regard it as a fact
that he must make his own character.
1t is work which God has wisely con-
signed to him. No other can do it for
him. Character is the unseen spirit
garment that his own thoughts and
feelings weave about the soul with in
visible fingers.
We have a few young men who seem
to think it makes them manly and no.
BILE to make themselves appear tough.
If you are tough people will find it
out without any effort on your part.
1t is just as easy to be a gentleman
and hold the respect of the community
in which you live.
The young man who says he cannot
succeed in such a country as this,
with all it's magnificent opportunities,
is the poorest kind of a stick. Why,
there are men today who, when they
see that a young man has the right
kind of pluck, are willing to advance
him money to build up his business
and give him a start. These are the
young men, however, who stick, dig
and save.

MILD WEATHER GENERAL
Wheat Out From Under Snow With
Its Healthy Green Color.


Cs aratively mild weather was
generA over Kansas the entire week.
but there was an excessive amount of
cloudiness and fog. No measurab Bile
rain or snowfall was reported any
where in the state and the snow COW
ering entirely disappeared, except in
a few of the most northern counties.
Wheat came out from under the
snow with lis healthy green color, eX-
cept that in the eastern and especially
the southeastern counties. where the
snow was light. it has turned brown
in many fields. In the western third
and the north central counties wheat
is generally reported to be good to ex-
cellent, but great many counties in
the south-central and east-central por-
tions, where the drought at seeding
time was severe, report the growing
crop as only fair and in some places
as poor. Practically no counties in the
eastern half of the state rate the pres
ent condition of wheat as excellent.
With the continuance of mild temper
atures, wheat is in a. condition to de-
velop right along, but severely cold
weather without another snow cover
ing or a period of alternate freezing
and thawing would injure it greatly.
Very little farm work was accom-
plished during the week. Gathering
corn was in progress in some places
and in the western third some small
headway was made in threshing wheat.
In the southwestern counties a consid-
cradle amount of grain sorghums was

WHO'S Third MAN?
Anonymous A Letter From De-
troit May Help Harry New.
Scented Note Declares Third
Person Present at Murder.

Los Angeles, Dec. 24.-Continuation
of efforts of the defense to establish
alleged insanity of Harry New was
expected with the resumption today of
his trial on charge of having muir
dered his sweetheart. Freda Lesser.
Testimony already introduced
much of 1t thru dispositions of resi-
dents of Indianapolis. Ind. the de-
fendant's former home-showed the
professed beliefs of many persons that
New was of unsound mind. Letters
on the trial have been received from
all parts of the United States by Judge
Gavin w. Craig.
One anonymous letter on scented
note paper and apparently written by
a woman came from Detroit. Mich. 1t
read:
Dear Sir: Perhaps it would inter-
est you to know that there were three
persons in the party July 4 that re-
suited in Freda Lesser's death. Don't
convict an innocent man"

tiles for investigation because of per

President POstpOnes Return to
Owners From Jan. to April 1.
Congress Failure to Pass Legis-
latiOn Given as Cause.

Washington. Dec. 24.-Return of
the railroads to their owners has been
postponed by President Wilson until
April at the earliest, it was generally
believed here todaY.z.It seemed Xir-
tually certain the lines could not pos
sibly be handed back January /. as
Wilson had last May intended to do.
Congress has passed no legislation
to regulate and care for the roads
when the government relinquishes its
control. In addition. with the govern
ment exercising its control of the fuel
supply mainly thru the railroads. the
president is believed to have aban-
doned the plans for the return until
the present situation clears up.
President Wilson is expected to
make some pronouncement tonight re-
garding the railroad situation. Off
cials generally professed not to know
just what 1t would be but some of
them at least. expected that it would
be an announcement of the return of
the roads to private operation on jan

Chicago Women Push III. C.. L.
Drive on Xmas Dinner.
General Orders to All Shoppers
Are Issued Today.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-The women's
war on wasteful buying was concen-
trated today on the Christmas dinner
The women's division of the fair
price commission urged housewives to
refrain from purchasing turkeys at 55
to 60 cents a pound when chickens,
ducks and geese could be bought at
from 35 to Is cents.
The women were encouraged in their
efforts by the drop of l 2 cents dozen
in egg prices the first week of the
campaign.
Wide circulation was given today to
general orders for the campaign. They
follow:
Go to market instead of telephoning
orders.
Ask the price before buying.
Buy cheaper grades.
Don't hesitate to say. Il can afford
it, but 1 won't pay the price"
Don't waste gas-cook everything in

BUYING IN CLIMAX
Xmas Shoppers Swarm Topeka
Retail Stores Today.
Public, However, Cuts Down
Giving Due HI. C. L.

The last big drive of Christmas
shoppers began this morning Retail
establishments were prepared for a
record breaking business. The
eleventh hour shoppers were out in
the absolute necessity of completing
their Christmas shopping in the few
hours left.
Business has been exceptionally
good this year, retailers said. While
in quantity of goods and amounts of
money taken in they are handling a
record breaking business. many of
them declared the percentage of profit
is not so large as it has been in other
years.
From the standpoint of the shop
pers, buying is more difficult this year
than ever ( before. Local estab blish-
ments seem to be stocked with two
classes of merchandise. it is said,
articles of a lower grade of quality. at
what might be termsd low prices and
nigh class merchandise at extremely
high prices Shoppers complain of
there apparently being no middle
ground.
Despite the many complaints against
high prices, it seems that shoppers
are buying as much as ever, proba bly,
more, and are going in for a much
hlgher grade of merchandise. A num-
Der OF merchants state that they are
stocked in various lines with low
priced merchandise but that people

The COAT
Per Cent Coal Price
Increase Reaches Topeka.
Covers Additional Wages Re-
Gently Granted Miners.

The public will pay the 4 per cent
increase in wages granted the miners.
at least for a time, it was evident to-
day in the face of advanced retail
prices for coal in Topeka. One dealer.
who received a shipment of Usage,
said it was invoiced to him at 81 a
ton higher than in October. due, he
explained, to increased cost of produc-
ton. But few local dealers have re-
ceived coal since the strike was set
tied.
Another dealer declared his in
voices read IA per cent higher on
shipments received from the mines
since the settlement of the strike than
before. The freight and allotted mar
gin of profit is merely added to this
price.
There was some speculation as to
whether an increase of IA per cent on
retail price or on wholesale prices
would be allowed. If, the increase on
retail prices is allowed. the consumer
will pay an added profit to the dealer
For example, the government price
on Usage at the mines is $4.S5. A IA
per cent increase on this would bring
the dealers cost to, s5-53; To TINS
would be added the freight and al
lotted profit, making a total of 50. 20.
But if the increase is allowed on the
retail price, the freight and retailers
profit would be first added to the
wholesale price, making a total OF
$3.50, and the IA per cent advance fig
ured on this. which would bring the
total cost to the consumer to $3.50, or
so cents more ton than the increase
figured on the wholesale price
would be.
Local dealers declare. however, that
the advance so far has been merely on
the wholesale price and that they are
making no more profit than before.
The increase on a ton of Usage coal
if only the Il per cent is added to the
wholesale price, would be about 65 or
10 cents. On higher priced coal the
increase would. of course, be higher.
The dealer who claimed Usage had
been invoiced to him at 81 a ton high
er said he had not observed any ad-
vance on other kinds of coal other than
Burlingame, and instead looked for
Colorado and eastern hard coal be to
lower in price. This would be due. he
said, to the ability of the operators in

FOR LLOYD GEORGE
Even NOrthcliffe Press Praises
Premier for Irish Bill.
Complete Abdication of Stand
on Home Rule.

London, Dec. 24.-Some political
observers today saw in the unanimous
ly laudatory attitude assumed by the
Northcliffe press toward Premier
Lloyd Georges Irish proposal a possi-
BILE rapprochement between the great
publisher and the statesman.
Both the London Times and Mail.
leadinr Northcliffes publications, were
profuse in their praise of the premier's
plan. Heretofore these newspa pers
have been bitter in their attacks upon
the premier. following Lord North
cliffe's break with him during the
peace conference. -..I-
Evening papers yesterday continued
the shower of praise which has been
heaped upon the premier.
Irish Hold Own Fate.
Lloyd Georges proposal gives the
world an example of British states
manship. the Evening Globe declared,
while the Westminster Gazette said no
could condemn it fairly.
The scheme puts 1relands fate in
Irish hands" the Evening Standard
asserted. while the unusually hostile
Star said the premier clearly had one
eye on American opinion. 1t COM
pared the taxation powers with those
of state legislatures in the United
States justifying the division of Ire
land by the precedent in the United
States IN the DIVISION OF Virginia ana

IF the premier's plan fails to
work" the Star asserted. I'VE will say
to the American people we've given
the Irish the same powers of self
government as possessed by the states
of the Union and they've rejected
them 1t will be difficult to keep up
the anti-British campaign in the
United States If that happens. No
