Citizens of Penns Grove

1 am a candidate for Mayor of Penns Grove Borough
and would consider it an honor to serve in that capacity.
The only pledge l will make in this campaign is: That
l will serve the people to the best of my ability, giving every
citizen a square deal.
The vital issue that confronts the people Of Penns
Grove at the present time (nOt only in Borough affairs, but
in State and NationaD is economy.
The Taxes Must be Reduced and the budget for the
year 1922 cut to the lowest possible point. We must econo-
miZe.
If elected, I will appoint an advisory board of citizens
without regard to sex, race, creed or party affiliations to
confer and advise me on all matters that affect the interests
Of the Borough.
The farmer trade of the surrounding territory IS an
important part of the business life of the Borough and every
effort should be made to have them transact their business
here.
There are other issues that are important andif elected,
l will conduct the office so that when my term expires the
people of Penns Grove can say, "Welldo faithful servant"
| ask your support for the Office of Mayor.

That $1,000, 900 Bond Proposal

Interested officials appear to have
undertaken a sort of educational cam
paign to acquaint the voters of the
State with the burning necessity for
approving the proposed S14,OO0,OOO
State loan for charging and lncreas-
ing the State institutions. The argu-
ments put forth for the purpose of
proving the urgent need OF the great
amount which it is desired to spend
within the next few years, must occa-
sion a shock among those who have
been looking forward with conf
dence to the early arrival of the mil
leyium as the result of the reading of
prohibition into u Federal and State
laws. Advocates of the big bond issue
aver that there has been no decrease,
as yet, in the population of u char
table and correction institutions and
that all are overerowded. 1t is pre-
dicted BY advocates Of the bond issue
that within several years a change for
the better will be noticeable, but 1t
will be remembered that immediate
improvement vas forecast by advo-
Gates of prohibition when the dry re-
zine was ushered in. 1t is reasonable
to anticipates q very material better
ment in the social conditions that have
been held so largely responsible for
the abnormally high percentage Of de
pendent population in New Jersey,
when prohibition becomes a fact
rather than a theory. The improve
mcnt viii necessarily reduce the num-
Der Of wards in tie State institutions
and, in the same degree, lessen the
necessity for enlarged quarters. Why,
then. would it not be the part of sound
business prudence to cross the bridges
as we come to them, rather than to
authorize the raising and expenditure
of S14.0 900, 900 more to be added to the
states rapidly mounting bonded in
debtedness. to cover anticipated needs
extending over a period Of years?
It has become entirely too easy to
ask for and obtain popular sanction
for adding to the State, County and
municipal Indebtedness by the conve-
nient method of floating new bond
issues. 1t is futile to look for lower
taxes so long as the public debt is be
ing increased at such a rate.-Mt.

\ MESSAGE FROM MARS

Marconi, the inventor of the wire
less, claims he got a message from
the planet Mars, which is a planet re-
volving around the sun next beyond
the earth. AS the planet is named for
the pagan god of War, undoubtedly he
wants to be represented at the dis
armament conference in Washington.
November II, where it is proposed to
put him out of business. 1t is natural
that Mars wants to be represented.
Before the conference is thru you will
see the influence of Mars, the god of
War.

Muilica Hill Acts on Lottery

For the past few years caIniyals,
which consist largely in various forms
Of lottery, have been increasingly pop

'fthe little wave of influence set in
motion may extend and widen from

According to reports to the Wall
Street Journal it is stated that
Sears Roebuck Company will close
the year with gross sales of approx
imately $254,6O5,O45, decrease OF
1.29 per cent from 1919. During the
first four months of the year this
company handled over 100000, 600
worth Of business which represented
an increase of about so per cent over
the same months last year. Since
May, however, there has been a con-
tinual falling off in the volume Of
sales. The December sales were 50
per cent less than those for No
vember. These decreases reflect the
lower purchasing power of the agri-
cultural population. 1t is said that
more than 80 per cent of the S,0OO,-
900 Sears-Roebuck customers live in
rural districts.
Quite a different story is told by
the reports of the F. w. Woolworth

Dry Goods Become Losing
Game Near I92Hs End

Broadly considered says r. G
Dun and Company, dry goods bust
ness was profitable in the last half
of 1880. but Improbable in the last
half of the year. The price defia-
tion which began in silks in Feb
ruary became very general in the
late spring, and subsequently cul-
minated in severe declines. The
liquidation was led by the mills,
and was followed slowly by job
bers. The readjustment resulted in
a large volume Of cancellations OF
orders, and textile production at
home and abroad fell to unusually
small proportions. 1t is now be-
lieved that the liquidation has about
ceased in cottons and woolens, jute
products, and in a lesser degree in
silks. The raw silk market is
'pegged" by agreement, while fax
and linen prices are maintained
through action taken by fax grow
ers and spinners. At the end OF
the year, many goods were being
sold "on memorandum" awaiting
the determination of new prices.

Copper Production
Slightly Less Than 1919

A preliminary report issued oy
the Geological Survey States that
the smelter production of copper
from domestic ores during 1920 is
estimated at about 1,235,OOO. .OOO
pounds compared with 1.2S6,OOO.OOO
pounds for 1919. The production OF
refined copper from foreign and
domestic ores for the year was
about 1.573,OOO,OOO pounds which Is
apoximately 195,OOO,OOO pounds less
than for the year 1919
The apparent domestic Consump-
tion was about S10.OOO.OOO pound !
compared with $1,000, 900 last wear.
Exports of copper for the first ten
months of this year were 543,696, 600
pounds compared with 516,62S.OOO
pounds for the entire year Of 1919.
Stocks of raw and refined copper at
the end of 1920 are estimated at
about S74,OOO.00O pounds. or 10000
900 pounds less than those held at
the end of 1919.

Reaction in Footwear
Industry Made Evident

The extremely high levels to which
footwear prices had risen during
1919 were carried over into the
early part of 1920, and it was not
until well along into the spring of
the year that indications of reac-
ton appeared. The year opened with
every sign of confidence, but re-
sistanCe to the abnOrmaly high
prices soon developed. and demand
in the fall reached the point OF vir
tual stagnatfon. Price depression
then became quite marked, and nu-
merOus reduction sales were inau-
gurated in an effort to force shoes
into consumption. AS the year-end
approached some evidence of i'm
provement was apparent, and a bet
ter sentiment prevailed throughout
the trade. On the whole, labor diff
fCulties in the industry tended to di-
minish in 1920.

Commercial Failures
Greatly Exceed Last Lear

Preliminary returns to r. G. Dun
and Company disclose 1881 COM
mercial failures in the United States
during 1920, as against only 6,451
in 1919, when the business NOR
tality was exceptionally moderate.
The liabilities of the year just end
ed also reflect a sharp increase,
the $2S7,772.471 shown in the in
complete statistics comparing with
slightly more than s113,000,000 in
1919. While fewer insolvencies oc-
CURED in the first half of 1920 than
in that period of the Immediately
preceding year, the indebtedness was
appreciably larger. and both the
number of failures and the liabili-
ties were heavily augmented in the
last two quarters of 1920.
