BATTERIES IN WINTER.

Company, local d distributors of the "Phila-

"The winter months, with their In
creased hours of darkness take an extra
toll In electrical energy from every storage
battery. Even if battery has stood up
well during the summer season the sur
plus energy demanded by winter may cause
it to fail by becoming prenaturelv dis
charged.
THE engine is always more difficult to
start IN cold weather because the gasoline
will not vaporize quickly and due to stiff
ness of the oil IN the bearings and around
the pistons. This engine resistance de-
mAnds further increase IN the output Of
the generator and consequently a more
urgent call upon the battery TO keep up
the electrical supply.
''Of course, nowadays very few cars are
put away for the winter. When this is
necessary, however, the battery teriora-

battery entirely, replacing all worn parts,
and reassembling without electrolyte.

OUT IN oAkHURST.

Master Robert Wiederwax, whose
home is In the State of Michigan, and
who is at home for the summer on
Seneca Ave-, Oakhurst, invited a few
friends to a theatre party-to cele-
brate his ninth b~irthday-and the
guests were also the recipients of an
ice cream treat after the show. He
received many fine gifts.
Mr.. Howard Burns, of Philadelphia,
was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Burns
for several days. He is pleased with
the improved appearance of Oakhurst.
Every house in Oakhurst is now oc-
cupied-with only one or two For
Sale" signs to be seen. Mr.. Huntly,
of the Penna. r. R. Office service Zone
of the heads of Dept.), is occupying
the Buchanan property for the pres
ent, but is in the market for the pur-
chase of a permanent home in Oak
hurst. He has as his guests for a few
days Mr.. and Mrs. Updyke and sons,
of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Paul Claus, Mr.. John Barnett,
Mr.. Hasselback and Mr.. Backer de-
serve great credit for their t~irelesS
pains in identifying their properties.
Their efforts have made their proper
ties worth many dollars mor than
their purchase price.

LOCAL BOY WRITES FROM
SOUTH AMERICAN PORT.

Mr.. and Mrs. John F. Ryon have
received an interesting letter from
their son James. 1t is dated Buenos
Aires, June 10, and reached them July
10, being just n month in coming.
He says:
Have been here about a week. We
took down a load of automobiles and
machinery, and have completed the
unloading of our cargo. We go from
here to San Lorenzo, 260 miles up the
river, to load a cargo of grain for Rot
terdam, Holland, which is a distance
of 1900 miles. Thence we go to Cape
Huelva, a town on the southwestern
coast of Spain, to get a cargo of ore
for Baltimore. We stop at Rio Janeiro
for crude oil on the way north. Rio
Janeiro is certainly a beautiful city.
The trip from Buenos Aires ITO Hol-
land requires about 80 days. 1t is win
ter time now, the temperature being
about so. Capt. Bowen's ship, the
Arizpa, came in yesterday. Am feel
ing fine and expect to reach home
about the goth of September"

League Baseball
Again In Prospect
SERIES OF GAMES TO BE PLAYED
TO DECIDE COUNTY CHAMPION
SHIP.

A series of five games each has been
arranged between the Pleasantyille,
Hammonton, Egg Harbor City, and
Bader Club, of Atlantic City, for the
county championship. The first game
will be played in Hammonton on Sat
urday between that team and Egg
Harbor City.
This may be the first step in the or
ga~nization of an ~intercounty league,
the dream of baseball fans for years
past.
A league taking in Camden, Atlantic
and Cumberland counties has often
been suggested, but has never mater
ialized.
1t is believed that teams from Pleas
a~ntville, Hammonton, Egg Harbor
City, Vineland, Bridgeton and Millyille
would enter such an organization if
teams from Laurel Springs, Haddon
Heights, Berlin and other points in
Camden county would do likewise, SO
that an eight or twelve-club schedule
could be arranged.
If the baseball fans of the city wish
these plans to materialize they will
have to get solidly behind the local
team in a substantial manner and
boost. The forming of such a league
would mean some mighty fine games
of ball played on the local diamond
during the season.

Buena Vista Township for the sew
enth consecutive year holds first place
in percent of attendance. They, there
fore, deserve the heartiest congratula-
lions for their efficient administration
in this respect. Atlantic City, Egg
Harbor City and Somers Point main
tain their high rank as usual. Lin
wood shows the most marked increase
in attendance for the year, namely
about 4%. The following districts
have increased their attendance over
last year by about two points: Pleas.
%antville, Hammonton, Mullica Town
ship, Somers Point. The average for
the State in 1888 was $3.50. The
average for Atlantic County last year
was 1886, this year .8769.
The County Superintendent is of the
opinion that districts having an at
tendance of less than 81 or SO would
do well to look for the cause and ap-
ply the remedy. Something is radical
ly wrong if the Attendance Officer is
too busy a person. School should be
an attractive place and is made so by
efficient teachers in cooperation with
the Board of Education.
