GOVERNMENT WANTS NFORMA
TION ON HOMES

The Census Bureau is now in the
midst of an investigation to ascertain
the amount of the encumberances on
homes. This inquiry is made in COM
pliance with an Act Of Congress ap-
proved March 8, 1919. 1t is desired to
show the total number of homes in
each city that are rented, the number
that are owned free of mortgage, the
number that are subject to mortgage
Indebtedness and the amount of such
indebtedness. Schedules of inquiry
calling for this information have been
sent to all of the persons reported in
Wildwood as owning homes subject
to mortgage, but unfortunately, a
large number of the citizens have not
replied to the official request. We
imagine this indifference on their part
is due to the fact that they do not
appreciate the Importance of the sta
t~istics.
Two requests have already been
sent. A third request is now about
to be mailed. The law providing fol-
this inquiry contains a penalty fol-
refusal to furnish the information.
This is a very important inquiry

THE COMPLETION OF TURTLE GUT
ROAD

Tho COMPILATION of the Turtle Gut
road will mean the opening OF Two
Mile Beach for commercial actlVlty'
and it has long been the aim OF ousl-
ness interests in Cape May County 10
have Cold Spring Harbor developed
as a commercial harbor. The great
ness of the project can only be esu-
mated by the amount OF efort spent
in its development. 1t is reported
that the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
nany may in the neal future run all
of it's cars over to Two Mile Beach
on track which will be on the west
side of the road. This would take
away from wildwood Crest the stocking
of engines, turn table and all other
Objectionable features objected TO by
~cottagers and residents for years.
The opening of Two Mile Beach as
a commercial development will mean
millions of dollars to the State OF New
Jersey, Cape May County and the
financial institutions of this beach.
The Board of Freeholders OF cape
Nav County are actively engaged IN
securing the cooperation of the state
and federal authorities in insuring the
permanency of this Turtle Gut road.
It may be that some minds are con-
yinced that the entire scheme is for
land enrichment, but it would be well
for all to look over the facts first OF
all and see that there is a larger pro-
iect besides the land enrichment to
those who may be fortunate to cash in
on the land. The opening OF Cold
Spring Harbor as a commercial pro-
iect mean one day less to South
America, besides bringing to the oas
wonderful trading possibilities. and
further developments will prove a
wonderful advantage to the children
Of years to come.
The Board of Trade is cooperating
with the county authorities in securing
state and federal aid in the closing
permanently of Turtle Gut Inlet. Aid
has been asked the Department OF
Commerce and Navigation, and Inland
Waterway Commission and the state
Highway Department. United States
Senator Walter Edge has promised
his support. In answer to the com
munication SEN by the Secretary &c
Senator William H. Bright the follow
ing letter has been received:
Wildwood, N. j.,

Dear Sir: Replying to your V
relative t. permanently closing Turtle
Gut Inlet, would say that l have al
ready succeeded in getting $19,6OO-ot
from the State Highway Commission
for this work, and have had Legislation
passed at the last session for $4,000
for Board of Commerce and Navigation
which will be available after the next
session, January, 1922, and will also
urge the payment of the monies from
the State Highway Commission on the
basis of the work now done. l an

MAYOR W. COURTRIGHT SMITH
MAKES STATEMENT AS HEAD
OF DEPARTMENT OF PUB
Lie SAFETY
Reach Fires

Beach fires have been prohibited be-
cause of two reasons. First, the lnsur-
ance rate on our front is now five per-
cent. and if these beach fires are per-
mitted at night the fire underwriters
have intimated they will raise the
rate or cancel all policies on beach
front property, and to meet this con-
dition the Department OF Pubic
| Safety has issued the order that there
are to be no beach fires on the Deach
front within the City Of Wildwood.
The second reason why these fires
are not permitted is because occa-
sionally careless persons having these
beach fires do not pick up the debris
caused by the fire. There have beer
broken bottles and boards with nails
and other metal substances left on
the beach and injured the feet OF
bathers. AS a means of protecting
bathers patronizing u beach, this
feature was also considered by the
Department of Public Safety when
they prohibited beach fires. Patrons
may have beach parties, but the law
is merely against beach fires and this
order was issued against beach parties
at night time, namely, between the
hours of six P. M. and six A. M.
Parking Of Cars Without Lights
It is the desire of the Department OF
Public Safety to have the cooperation
of all garages, motorists and residents
of this city and they will please notify
their motorists friends that parking
of cars on the streets without lights is
subject to a fine. This particular or
dinance must be enforced if we are to
maintain some supervision of u traf-
6c. Later on the City Commissioners
will have passed an ordinance cover
ing the traffic within the city domain
Speeding
The limit of speeding within the
CITY of Wildwood is about twelve
miles an hour. Near schools the traf-
fc law of the State of New Jersey
specifies a lower speed than this. In
a S of fire, motorists are to stop their
machine on the right hand side OF the
road so as to permit the fire apparatus
to have the right of way. All street
cars are also to stop on the approach
of the apparatus. The ignoring OF
these laws are under the State law
punishable by fine and the Department
of Public Safety intends to enforce
these ordinances.
Parking of Cars in the Fire Zone
The congested section near the beach
front where cars are parked nightly
during the summer season is now I'M
der the jurisdiction of men detailed
from the fire department. There are
no regular charges made for these
parking privileges. All donations re-
ceived by these volunteer fremen who
are regularly sworn in men, goes
toward the iremen fund. The mer
volunteered to do this work SO as to
provide order in the ~congested area
and assure open space around the fire
plugs and full access to the danger
parts in case of confagration. 1t is
the desire of the Department of Public
Safety for all person interested in the
future development of Wildwood to
cooperate with it.
Respectfully yours,

WILLIAM FARNUM HERE
 IN '1F l WERE KING.

Extensive preparations are being made at the Regent Theatre for the appearance of William Farnum in If I Were King" the William Fox special screen production based on Justin Huntley McCarthy's fa- nous play in which E. H. Sothern made tremendous Init"
 If I Were King" will open next Monday, March 21.
 There is something about Justin Huntly McCarthy's story of "If Were King" that forever fingers in the memory-not only because the play was success, perhaps, but also because the book was so wide ly known. How many persons can remember the plays in which MT. Sothern has scored success? Yet you will find that if you mention Sothern,s name you will get the re- sponse: "oh, yes, he played in If I Were King"
 The character of Francois Will lon, enacted on the stage by MT. Sothern, seems peculiarly fitted for William Farnum, and the Fox star is said to portray it with all the artistry that years of stage exper- fence have given him.
 William Farnum has done some splendid work for the screen. His pictures are always worth seeing but when he appears in a story like If Were King" he stands out above all other film stars.

MdriGnna Offered
 Another Guard Unit

Major E. c. Robertson has been authorized by the Adjutant General Department to organize a battalion headquarters unit for the Fifth Ar kansas National Guard and it's To- cation is left to him.
 This would give Marianna an in- fantry company of the National Guard and the battalion headquart- CTS unit and would probably bring an annual pay roll to the city of between S12,O00 and S15,000.
 The infantry company is already being organized, twenty-four re- cruits having enlisted to date.
 Upon the recommendation of Ma jor Robertson the adjutant general has made the following appoint ments of officers for the local com pany.
 Ewing McClinrock, captain; T. F. Claywell, first lieutenant; o. W. Coppedge, second lieutenant.
 No better selection for the of ficers of the company could have been made as these men are all ex- service men, and are well qualified to fill the position they hold.
 The company has been designated SL" Company of the Fifth Arkan- sas National Guard and the mini mum strength is to be 50 men and three officers.
 The battalion headquarters unit will consist of 41 enlisted men, one major and one first lieutenant.
 Major Robertson has not made recommendations as yet to fill first lieutenant's position in the battalion headquarters unit but expects to do this in the very near future, and hopes to be able to complete the CT ganization of both organizations in the near future.
 It is quite an honor to Marianna to have the headquarters of two units of the National Guard, and the business men and young men of the town should cooperate with the officers in every. way possible.
 The enlistments in the company to date consists of the highest type of young men of Marianna and nearly all of them are ex-service men. It is the purpose of the officers of the company to enlist the highest type of our young men.
 After the organization will have been completed and recognized by the War Department, the company will be equipped with clothing, rifles, shelter tents and in fact full equip ment for an infantry company of the regular army.
 Steel lockers will also be provided for the care of each mans equip ment.
 Arrangements have been made with the city council to lease the city hall for an armory and it is the plans of the officers of the com pany to furnish two rooms to be used as club rooms.
 Upon recommendations of Major Robertson, Dr. E. D. Wall was com missioned captain in the Medical Corps of the Flint Arkansas Nation al Guard and Dr. Wall has been ask ed to recruit as many men as pos sible for the medical corps.

GREGORY IS IN
 RACE FOR MAYOR
WELL KNOWN CITIZEN AM NOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR IMPORTANT OFFICE = NOMT- NATION MUST BE FILED.

c. J. Gregory, one of the best known citizens of Marlanna, an- nounces in this issue of the Courier Index that he is a candidate for mayor. MT. Gregory served on the city council back in the stormy days when the stock law was passed and when the city paved some of the principal streets. The paving ordi- nance did not create much opposi- tion but when the council decided that "Old Pide" and .'the family porker" must stay on their own sacred preserves, members of the city aldermanic board very sudden ly discovered that svox populi" was more than common term to be bantered about by demagogues. Tn fact, Mir. Gregory has a very dis tinct recollection of various and sundry unkind remarks that were directed toward him by indignant and irate owners of live stock who insisted that under the common law an animal had the right of eminent domain in any Incorporated town or city. MT. Gregory resisted this contention, in Unison with others of the council and by reason of his pioneer action the live stock in Marianna has become civilized to the point that they are willing to browse on their own premises.
 It is probable that MT. Gregory will have no opposition in his race for mayor. Judge E. D. Robertson, who had been mentioned as a pros pective candidate stated to the Cou- vii Tn1 orda ax hof name would not appear upon the ballot. He said he was personal friend of MT. Gregory and was con- fident the latter would make good mayor, and he had no desire to op- pose him.
 Other candidates for city offices are c. c. Kitchener for city treas urer, and J. c. Williams for police judge, both of whom are seeking reelection.
 The voters in each of the three wards should hold mass meetings before next Friday, March 25, and select candidates for aldermen. In the first ward the term of W. K. Harris expires. Tn the second ward that of R. L. Hope expires, and in the third ward that of R. D. Smith expires.
 Candidates for city offices must pay to c. c. Kitchener, city treas urer, one dollar for having their names placed upon the official bal lots and must file with Jake Shaul, chairman of the election commits sion, a certificate of nomination signed by at least ten qualified electors in the city of Marianna- This petition must be accompanied by receipt from the city treasurer showing the one dollar has been paid.

Preacher PrOUes
 Good DetectiUe

Rev. Hugh Robertson of McGehee $pent Monday night with his parents
 here. He was on his way to Helena
 having been summoned to appear before the federal grand jury to Testify in the prosecution of a con fidence man who had impersonated
 an army officer.
 It seems that some time in Jan Euary the crook blew into MeGehee, |garbed in the regulation uniform 'of lieutenant, claiming to be en- |gaged in some sort of work con |nected with the army activities. During his sojourn there he was Somewhat liberal in passing "cold *checks," one of which he persuaded 'the young minister, who is an ex- army officer himself, to endorse for |him.
 The check was returned unpaid and the preacher had to put up the |S5O. He immediately began man
 nunt for the bogus officer who had left for parts unknown, leaving be- nind him several other patriotic and |over-trusting citizens who were anx- lously inquiring as to the where abouts of the seductive wsarer of of the khaki. MT. Robertson prov ed to be somewhat of a sleuth, for
 ne soon found his man and took
 nm in irons to Little Rock where
 ne delivered him to the army au-
 thorities who had been searching Tor him for several months.
