WHITE HOUSE DESK IN
WILDWOOD

Jesse C. Coombs, 1l6 East Wildwood
avenue, is the proud possessor of a highly
priced piece of furniture, in the shape of
a mahogany escritoire or writing desk.
1t came from the White House at Wash
ington, D. c., having been used by the
secretary to President Mckinley. Mr..
Coombs things this desk must have cost
at least $500. 1t was purchased at a pub
lie sale in Washington, by Mr.. Coombs'
daughter, Mrs. Duncan L. Spooner, after
the expiration of President Roosevelt's
term of office. 1t is probable that Mr..
Roosevelt's secretary used this same desk,
thus giving it a double value as a White
House souvenir.

1t would be interesting to know just
how many hides are stored in South Jer-
sey. The chief holdings are by Hebrew
livestock dealers who sailed them two
years ago and have never been able to
sell them. One holder says he paid
$4,000 for his holdings, but would not
now refuse an offer of $4,000 for them.
Others have stocks which cost from $4,000
TO $4,000. Some of the skins may have
taken injury from their long sleep in salt.
One dealer says that he used over $500

18Th DIVISION TO BE
RE-ESTABLISHED

The 18th Division, that National Army
Division, which during the recent World
War made a record hat will long live,
is to be brought into being once more.
This is the decision of the War Depart
ment, it is announced by headquarters
of the Second Corps Area. While it has
not been definitely decided it is possible
that the Division will comprise New Jer-
sew, Delaware and part Of New York
State.
During the war the 18th Division up
held the best traditions of the Army and
country, accepting all of the arduous SER
vice hat the Commander-in-Chi gave it
without a murmur, and always accom-
plishing every mission with honor to IT.
self and to the Army.
The new Division, which is to be the
legal heir to the wartime record OF the
18th Division, is to be equipped ready
for service both as to men and material.
Former service men and men with mill
tary training will be given a chance to
enter its ranks. In addition, graduates
of any of the Citizens Military Training
Camps will be welcomed. 1t is the pres
ent intention of the War Department to
limit the enrolment OF men to the three
classes above, former service men,
trained men, honorsbly dicharged and
graduates of Citizens Military Training
Camps, for only in this way can the
Division be ready for instant service. In
order to provide those men who have
no, had training with an opportunity to
join the 18th Division, the War Depart
ment has planned a "Red" Citizens
Military Training Camp to be held at
Plattsburg, N. Y, on the shores of the
beautiful Lake Champlain, for n month
beginning August 7th this year.. The APP
preparation for this Camp is limited this
wear and because of this only 1900 men
can be accommodated from the Second
Corps Area, which comprises in addition
to New Jersey and Delaware the whole
state of New York.
This Camp is open to all young men
between 10 and IS years of age. Attend
ance at this Camp will be without cost
to the participants, the Government fur
nishing transportation both ways, food,
clothing, medical and dental attention,
and such wholesome entertainment as is
needed by a large group of citizen sol
diers. Selections for attendance will be
made by priority of application, there
fore those who desire to become members
of the new 18th Division and legitimate
heirs to the wonderful record of the
fighting 18th Division should get in their
applications early.
Application may be made at any OF
the following: Citizens Military Train
ing Camps Association, 10 West 44th
Street, New York City, or any of its
Agencies, these having been established
in most of the principal towns; my Army
Post; any Army Officer; any Navy or
Marine Corps Recruiting Officer; or the
Recruiting Adjutant, Second Corps Area,
Governors Island, New York.

LUMLEY STOCK co. GAVE
PATRIOTIC PLAY

The Lumley Stock Co. appeared for
the second time to a Wildwood audience
last Friday. Their offering was The
Great Commoner," a story of Abraham
Lincoln, which vastly pleased a very en-
thusiastic audience of between five and
six hundred people.
The curtain was rung up to the strains
of The Star Spangled Banner" and Walt
Williams, in the allegorical part of His
tory" read the prologue.
Several fictional characters were intro
duced to give the proper amount of heart
interest, but the main theme of the play
had to do with the personal feelings
and troubles of Father Abraham"
Mr.. Lumley is to be greatly congratu-
lated on his portrayal of Abraham Lin
coin" 1t was as fine a bit of acting
as has ever been seen in Wildwood. Rus
sell Snoade as Secretary Stanton" also
did fine work.
