and that ! should most certainly

Wood Famine Likely

If the present cutting of white oak
timber in Sussex county continues, so it
is declared, the county will be like a
plain in the far West inside of five
years. The best timber land is being
cleared Of its trees, and portable saw
mills have been erected in many places.
Anything in the way of wood that will
bring dollar to the owners of trees is
being cut down and sawed into lailroad
ties and piling, and young oaks are be-
ing cut for bean poles an shipped far
and near.
For many years Sussex county has
been noted for its white oak trees, which
were the pride of the owners. The war
demand for such timber, however,
started the revishing of the woods for
material for shipbuilding purposes. The
end Of the war did not bring an end to
the cutting of the trees and they are
being felled every day.

the Ringing Brothers. who are the

the performances will witness the great
est program ever presented in America.
This Is likewise true of the mammoth

place showday morning, the mammoth

this biggest of all amusement institu-
tions. The famous showmen have made
complete survey of both the great
circuses and merged the finest and best
of each into one. Hundredths upon
hundreds of performers will appear in
the gigantic main-tent. There will be
scores upon scores of the cleverest
dump actors. A gorgeously costumed
pageant, of stupendous size, will open
the program. Great Companies of char
acters, representing the best-loved
stories of fable and nursery lore, will
appear. There will be splendid and
many groups of beautiful horses in
jeweled trappings. The army of clowns
exceed all past records for fun and num-
bers. All contribute to the biggest cir

ELECTION ON MONDAY

Posters are up announcing an election
to be held here on Monday, May s. for
the purpose of voting on proposition
to bend the town for $50, 900. to be used
for improving Broad and Main streets.
The sentiment of the people general
ly is that the improvements should be
made. Whether the project will carry
is matter of conjecture. The two
streets are IN horrible condition. and
are at times almost impossible for
motor vehicles, on account of the mud
in the winter and the general rough
condition at all times of the year.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
on these streets, in hauling on and haul
ing off era, ,el and it has been demon
strated that gravel roads and streets
are not permanent-will not stand up
under heavy travel, such as is found on
them now.
A town meeting was held in the as
sembly room Of the Middletown high
school Thursday evening, to discuss the
question of streets. County Engineer
Charles E. Grubb was present and gave
the estimated costs of building the diff
ferent kinds of improve l streets.
In voting on the proposition to bond
the town, each taxpayer is entitled to
one vote for each dollar or fractional
mart of a dollar which he pays in town
taxes. 1t is feared the proposition may
he defeated as several of the largest
taxpayers of the town are women,
whose properties are not very high in
terest-paying investments and their op-
position may defeat the plan.
