Comment

Penns Grove has about 1000 in
h~abitants. What city of that size can
show a better health record? Those
killed by explosion, murder and drown
ing were not old residents. Take no.
tice there were no deaths by contagi-
Gus disease.
Penns Grove beats the Garden of
Eden for long life, because people
lived longer in Penns Grove than
Adam and Eve did there.

Salem County gets a benefit from the
investment of this fund today.
Every one who reads this should
keep in mind that it was Andrew
Jackson's economy when President
that is helping to pay now for their
education. His portrait should hang
in every school room as a reminder of
this.
Because of Jackson's boldness in
war and frmness to party principles
he was nicknamed cold Hickory"
The hickory tree became the emblem
of the Democratic party and hickory
poles were raised from which the
American flag floats on victory days.
This is the song of Jackson's party:
"Freeman! cheer the hickory tree,
In storms its boughs have sheltered
thee.
Ger freemen's land its branches wave.
Tt was planted on the Lions grave"
Jackson Explained
Because of President Jackson's
illiteracy his opponents declared he
could not write his message. "Well,"
said Jackson, 81 should be given credit
for Judgment in selecting men of abil-
ity to express my opinions in better
language than l can myself"

Salem County Good Road Work

walks. The bad foundation encounter
ed in making this change also requir-
ed a large amount of stone for founda-
ton in excess of the quantity planned.
1t is hoped that this excess of stone
will reduce the danger of foundation
failure on that portion of the road
where it was necessary to lower the
grade. The Borough of Penns Grove
contemplates laying concrete cutters
during 1920, on that portion of this
road which is in the built up section of
the Borough.
The work contemplated on January
list, 1919, mentioned in the last an
nual report, has been completed as
planned with the exception of a por-
lion of the Bird Section of the Malaga
Penns Grove Road (Woodstown to
Pilesgrove Township line). The con-
tractor has this work about 70 per
cent. completed.
You are to be congratulated on hav-
ing so nearly completed the work you
contemplated in the beginning of the
year., Notwithstanding abnormal rains,
railroad eInbargocs and other troubles.
BRIDGES
During the past year the following
bridges have been completed:
Bridge No. sos, over Warrington

The following bridges are under
construction. Work has practically
stopped for the winter.
Pancoast Bridge, No. 440, 9Th Sec
ion Malaga-Penns Grove Road. Piles

While you have been unable to Sc
ure the completion, by the contrac-
ors, of all the work you planned dur
ng the past year,you have accomplish
d the greater part thereof. Tenn :
'orary bridges will have to be main
aimed thru the winter only at Oil
liant Mill Pond Bridge and the Gen. !.
Bridge. Considering the
mount of work involved and the diff
IcuIties overcome, you certainly have
right to feel satisfied with the re-
ults.

PRISON ROAD CAMP

During the past year that portion
of the Pointers-Auburn Road lying be-
tween the Pointers and Shapes Cor
ner has been completed. Work is
progressing on that portion of the
Pointers-Auburn Road lying between
Slape's Corner and Courses Landing.
This organization should be recon-
mended for the splendid work they are
doing, both in building roads and in
helping men who have erred, to make
a fresh start in life.
A statement shows that a days
work delivered on the road has cost
1925.
In closing l desire to thank your
board and your officers for the courte-
sey that has been constantly extended,
and the help that has been freely
given me and those associated with
me, in surmounting the many difficult
ties encountered during the past year.
And in particular I wish to express
my appreciation of the manner in
which you handled the situationin my
department caused by the war. AS
you know, on July 25th, 1917, four
members of your engineering staff
joined the c%olors, leaving your assist
ant engineer, Jas. Sparks, practically
alone, to handle not only the usual
work but the unprecedented condi-
tons created by the war. On my re-
turn / found that he had been able to
build up a new organization, with your
assistance, to carry on the work as
planned so that the interests of the
public had not suffered during the abb
sence of a part of your engineering
forces in France.
But the thing that touched most
deeply, both my comrades and myself,
was to find after nearly two years
absence, not only that our jobs were
waiting for US, but that in addition
thereto our entrance upon our former
duties was so sincerely and gladly
welcomed by everyone.

County Engineer.

EX-DRINKERS ARE
 NOT BUYING CANDY

Washington. Aug. 25-That proh1- bition has not greatly increased the number of candy eaters is the conclu- sion reached by Walter c. Hughes, secretary of the National Confection- CTS Association. This announcement was made yesterday by the American Executive Committee of the fifteenth International Congress Against Alec ho1ism, which convenes here Sept. 21-26.
 'I do not believe that the confec- tionery industry has been benefited proportionateIy any more than a number of industries have been bene- fted, MT. Hughes said. Tn point Of benefits received. we. believe confec- tionery ranks about fifth. The en- terprises which have received greater benefits from prohibition are the saw ings banks, the soft drink industry and moving picture theatres.
 The theory advanced that men ad- dicted to alcohol have never become candy eaters is based entirely upon the wrong premises and is not logical. More candy is being consumed be- cause the people have more money to Spend."

AGAINST MOVE TO
 BREAK ONE UNION

In a statement to the press last night President John Hurley of the Trol1eymen's- Union, said that he would get in touch with the Central Labor Union before Saturdays meet ing of the new Chauffeurs' Union in an effort to prevent "the forming of one union to break another union" :" and would present the Trolleymen's s viewpoint. MT. Hurley Hsents the allegation that if the trolleymen Of the city work for the bus association they will forfeit their rights with the Connecticut Company. Hurley also stated that the jitney association had not been very successful as yet in the hiring of trolleymen to work for them. He, himself, he says, has turn ed down several offers from John Schwartz to work for the bus asso- citation.

YOUNGSTERS CAMP . AT STEEPLECHASE

There has been something beside ~cost-plus" out, at Steeplechase this summer. Every week since late in June lon an average of 40 youngsters have camped there under the care of the City Recreation Board. They go out pale and with. indifferent appetites. They come back brown as berries and in the words of Camp Director F. S. Mathewson "they sure do eat" When they first come out" he says, they often come up for second helpings but after they have been there a day or two they not only come for seconds but thirds, fourths. and ffths if we would let them. sometimes think if we put blocks of wood in the frying-pan they would eat those too.'
 Every other week the camp is filled with girls and every other week boys. The parents of the children pay part of the expense and the city the balance.
 But. because they go out there and have an enthusiastic time is no sign that it is just aimless play. Under the direction of MT. Mathewson and his assistant, Robert Mertens, they are taught to make their play net them a profit in the way of physical 4 development and general knowledge. On five of the seven days each group ds there they are under training and instruction. On the remaining two days they are given tests on the work lthey have been doing and all those who reach a certain standard are given an emblem with the letters, c. R. c. on it which stands for City Recreation Camp.
 There is considerable effort made fby the youngsters to get one of the temblems which they are very proud Ito wear on their sweaters when they come back into the city. Never until this week have more than six been able to secure an emblem but last week, and it was girls week too, there were eighteen who secured them.
 There Is not much difference in the test as given to the girls and boys and it includes the following. Must be able to tie eight knots; swim fifty came to the camp have learned; run 60 yards in a certain time; do a po- ftato race in a given time; name and fndentify five different wild flowers; name and identify five different trees; the boys do a broad jump of certain number of feet; the girls show a cer- tain proficiency in basket work with rafia; a first aid test of putting on finger bandage and arm splint and showing that they know how to ap- ply the Schaffer method of resuscita- ton.
 Besides the seven tents in the camp for the youngsters there is a cottage in charge of MT. >Mathewson where from fifteen to thirty adults spend the week ends.

CANADA's GREATEST FARMER

When Canada wanted to honor Seager Wheeler, her greatest farmer, she had, unlike China, no Order of the Golden Crop to give him. He had to be content with a humdrum ILL. D. from Queens College, Kings ton, Ont. That was the recognition of a man who has pushed back the northern wheat limit 2oO miles and added millions to the farming wealth of Canada. And all this on a farm of 160 acres which he bought for s3 an acre from the Canadian Pacific railroad in 1883 and to which Hre has never added.

taking pains, Dr. Wheeler is a genius. Year after year he selected seed wheat until he had produced the two varieties, Red Bobs and Kitchen CT, with which his name is linked. Year after year he picked the choicest heads to be replanted and picked over again. His Red Bobs was the result of one red head in a plot of white wheat from Australia. From it he has harvested 60 bushels to an acre. Kitchener was bred by the same painstaking selection, bred partly for length and strength of straw to stand the climate of western Canada. With this wheat Dr. Wheel CT made a worlds record yield of S2 bushels to the acre. Think of that as against an average in the United States of 16 or IT bushels. He once refused S15 for a six ounce bottle of this wheat, little matter of s2,400 a bushel.-The Nations Business.
