EXCELLENT Bazaar OPENING
AT SO. AMBOY HIGH SCHOOL

BY Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 3-With
beautifully decorated booths. won
derful bargins, congenial young
s~alcsladies and excellent music the
opening night of the South Amboy
high school baZar was a grand sue
cess. As the result OF this combi-
nation, of good things a goodly sum
was turned into the treasury which
will be used in Quitting the domes-
tic science room.
One of the main attractions last
night was the mystery corner
where there is a gypsy camp where
one may learn all the secrets that
.ss future has in store for him. Miss
S<LSSin-ton, in the role OF the for
tune teller. turned in a goodly sum.
Another of the big attractions was
the fishing pond. This booth was
the first to sell out. Early in the
evening the demands upon this booth
became heavy and continued that
way until it was completely sold out.
Miss Mary Delaney and Miss Watts
of the faculty were in charge of this
booth.
The excellent music by Johnson's
orchestra was a big attraction, and
as "a consequence the floor was near
ly always crowded with dancers.
The fancy work and handkerchief
booth came in for its share of atten-
ton. While business was lot so
brisk in that corner. it would detract
a great deal from the general plan
of the fair if this booth were to be
removed.
One Of the most popular booths
for the children was the booth where
home made candy was for sale. This
candy was made by the girls of the
high school and is good" They
found a ready sale for all that was
placed out last night. Another pop
ular booth was the hot doggie"
stand as we'll as the stand at which
ice cream cones were sold. Al still
another booth it was possible to pur-
chase refreshments In the form of
ice cream and home made cake.
The baZar will continue tonight.

MUST BEAR Loss
ON JETTY WORK
THE VINEYARD SHIPBUILDING COMPANY
OF MILFORD FINDS MISPILLION
JOB COSTLY.
LIMIT TISlO,OOO TOO Low
THE CONTRACTING FIRM NOW THINKS
THAT IT WILL REQUIRE S45,OOO TO
COMPLETE The PROJECT.

The following article appeared in
the Evening Journal, of Wilmington
last week:
According to officials of the United
States Engineer Office in this city. the
contracting firm will have to stand
whatever loss there may be in the
construction of 250,Ol0 yards of ietty
at the mouth of Mispillion river, in
lower Delaware.
The first estimated cost and sum
set aside by the government for the
ietty was $4,000. The contract was
awarded in May to the Vinyard Ship
building Company of Milford. This
company was the lowest bidder of
three. the other two being the Arun-
del Corporation of Baltimore and
Simpson Brown and Company, of New
York
A = HE work has -nrngressed the
contracting company has found that
it will require at least $4,000 to COM
plete the project
The contract calls for 250 yards of
bulkhead built in a sOutheasterly di-
rection from the end of the present
south jetty, and repairs on the cid
work. The idea being to preserve a
channel free from sand bars from the
mouth of the Mispillion river to deep
water mark in the Delaware Bay.
The bulkhead is being made by driV-
ing. two rows of piling which is filed
in first with brush and then with
stone.
The reason assigned for the esti-
mated cost falling so far below the
amount necessary for the cOnstruc- 1
tion work is that the stone used has .
not been available from nearby ports .
as was first thought and the transpOr-
tation and first cost has been con-
siderably more than estimated also
the repair work has been more extern
sive than the survey called for.
This work is important from the
fact that it maintains the outlet for
Fort Saulsbury-the modern fort just
built to protect the Delaware Bay and
river from hostile invasion.
At the engineer Office today it was
stated there was a chance for some
slight fleXibility in the cost Of pOr-
ton OF the Mispillion job. but as for
the jetty itself, there could be no re-
duction AS the contracting firm is
under bond. it either must complete
the work or pay forfeit to the gov
ernment.

BIG CROP OF WHEAT
SOME MIDDLETOWN FARMS YIELD 80
BUSHELS PER ACRE.

As the wheat crop of Delaware is
being threshed the farmers are more
and more surprised at the unusually
large yield. This especially applies
to the farms about Middletown and
adjacent territory.
Charles Dukes, a tenant on the
Daniel Corbett farm at Odessa. who
finished threshing a day or two ago.
reports 1000 bushels as the yield of SO
acres. Julian G. Cleaver at Middle
town has threshed 1920 bushels from
a 4O-acre field, an average of 80
bushels. Earnest Ratledge has har-
vested a crop that threshed out SO
bushels to the acre and Howard Rat
ledge, also of Middletown got 2S bush
els an acre from his wheat field.
Isaac Gibbs of near Massey sold p
500 bushels from one farm, receiving
S3 per bushel. Michael Keegan has
threshed about 1000 bushels from 100
acres. Charles Derrickson threshed 80
bushels per acre from one field and So
from another. Wright Coopage aver
aged more than 25 bushels per acre.
Twenty bushels per acre is the
smallest yield reported.
The favoring weather of the latter
part of the spring season evidently
has extended to large section of the
country, for Pennsylvania reports
that the crops of her farms and gar
dens and orchards this year will have
a market value Of S4OO,UUU.UUJ It IS
estimated that Delaware's crop will
exceed $4,000, 900 yearly
average of valuation.
1t is the opinion of farmers of New
Castle county that the yield of wheat
in that section of the State will reach
the top figure of 25 bushels to the
acre which is much above the average
Of the State and the country.
