BOWERS BEACH

Everything around here is very
quiet. The only places now of inter-
est to spend an hour is in some of the
stores during the evenings, where
men meet and expatiate on fox hunt
ing and their dOgs-also duck shoot
ing. hook and line fishing and the US
ual gossip heard in a country village
store.
A number of sporting men went
duck shooting the first day of this
week; some going to Bombay Hook
and Ceilings Beach, while others
went to more nearby points. What
their success was we are not able to
repOrt-but evidently some OF the
duck hunters were possessed with
great amount of enthusiasm-as to
the outcome-from the fact, that one
in his sleep on Sunday night, his mind
was so taken up with the anticipated
sport, that he jumped from his bed
several times pointing as though ne
was in the act of shooting.
Those that were in a position TO
know report between seventy and
eighty persons for the purpose OF
hook and line fishing were here the
last weekend; from the cities. Their
catches were very gratifying.
The greater part of the motor boats
from other places which operated
here this season, have left for their
homes. Several of the owners secur-
ed wharfage for another season be-
fore leaving.

Shoemaker is quoted as having made

RAISINS ARE NEW
FOOD FOR BEAUTY
Stimulate Supply of Red Blood and
Thus Give More Color to Cheeks.

Philadelphia, Pa, women. have ap-
parently discovered in raisins a new
food for beauty.
Since the recent endorsement by
prominent physicians and health ex-
perts to the effect that raisins were
one of the leading health foods, the
Pennsylvania State College has taken
steps to go further into the posstbili-
ties Of this health question and are
making careful study and analysis
of the raisins and its beneficial rela-
tion to the human system.
A California raisin growers associa-
ton sas recently published statements
to the effect that IKE organic. food
iron Of raisins stimulated the supply
of red blood so vital to energy. They

Redeemed the cheeks, which was the
principal outward indication-that the
raisins had increased the number of
red corpuscles.
Today thousands of women are US
ing this internal cosmetic Besides
being beneficial in this manner rails
ms are possessed with a delicious
flavor. Cooked in bread, pie on pud-
dings in salads, or eaten right out of
the box, raisins never lose their lus-
ciousness or their great health and
beauty value.

FIVE COUNTRIES
CLAIM MOVIE STAR
However, PoIa Nsgri, Famous Screen

Five European nations-France, Ger

in the world-Pola Negri, who viii APP
pear at the Comique theatre Wednes-
day and Thursday in THE Polish
Dancer" Heralded and accepted by
the most fastidious critics of the world
as the greatest emotional star in the
world, Pola Negri has reached a place
where she is also recognized as the
most popular foreign actress ever to in
wade America.
But the question of the nationality
Of Pola Negri has been perplexing
critics and public alike Frenchmen
claim that as a child they recognized
the ability of this remaricable artistic.
Then the Germans insist that she has
made Germany her home for many
years. But Pola Negri listens atten-
lively to the arguments of the writer's
and their reading public.
Pola Negri viii not permit herself TO
be claimed by either Germany or
France. Nor does she say she is Hun
garian. On the contrary, she is idol
lied by the people Of those countries
in much the same fashion that Ameri-
can fans worship her. But she does not
hail from these lands
Pola Negri is not italian. either,
Newspaper stories published IN this
country that she comes from one Of
the northern European countries are
untrue, for Pola Negri is Polish and
she wants the whole world TO know
this. She was born in Poland. And it
was in that land that she was brought
up. She IS an intimate friend OF the
famous pianist and former prime min
lister Of Poland, Ignace Paderewsld.
Like the great pianist diplomat-p
triot, Pola Negri has given much TO
her unfortune people. She has worked
among them in their hour of need, and
word from Europe only recently told
how she had consumed practically all
her earnings from studio work IN help
ing purchase food and other necessi-
ties tor her people.

MANAGER OF G. F. & A.
ARRIVES FROM NORTH

r. @. Greenaway, general manager
of the G. f. & A. arrived yesterday
morning from Washington and Norfolk,
where he has spent the past ten days.
Mr.. Greenaway said that his impress
sion of business conditions in that part
of the country was that business was
a little slack, much as it is here, but
in view of the fact that the holiday
season always affects the commercial
activity of the country, he did not take
this as a bad augury for more stable
conditions by the beginning of the year.

RAILS ADVANCE
ON BOND MARKET
Gains Prove Feature on Eve
OF Downward Revision
Of Wages.

NEW YORK, June 30.-An ad-
vance in railroad issues covering a
broad list featured the bond mar
ket on the eve OF the downward re-
vision OF wages. The movement
was in sympathy with a general
buying movement in the market for
railroad stocks. Naturally the
most pronounced advances IN bonds
applied to those which are convert
ible into stocks. Baltimore and
Ohio convertible AVS went up q
of a point to 6Sl4; st. Paul con-
vertibIe AIS, up z to SAY; Erie
convertible As, series A, up q to
37k. The rise in Northern Pacific
Great Northern SIS today was real.
and not a ticker error. Having
closed at 96Ss yesterday, they were
in great demand today, advancing
to 97A before meeting with supply
in the afternoon.
Industrial issues were steady, but
lacked the buying support noted IN
the railroad group. Mexican Pc
troleum SIS declined more than a
point to 95L, rejecting the demor-
alization of the stock. Both these
securities were Influenced by the in
clusion Of a 35-cent crude oil tax
in the Fordney tariff bill Atlantic

COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 3O.-Pre-holi-
day dullness was the feature of the
coffee market today. The lack Of
interest made the market extremely
sensitive to small orders On either
side. Hence there was no signifi-
canoe to the various spasmodic vari-
ations.
Owing to the holiday in Brazil
yesterday. the local trade was with
out official quotations to guide them.
AS a consequence. bids and offers
were far apart on the call. ana
business was impossible. Subse-
quently demand improved, and
small sales, chiefly of September,
were made at gains OF TO points.
This small bulge brought out a few
additional offerings, and part of the
gain was lost.
The momentary firmness may
have been due to claims Of higher
private cables. 1t was stated that
one Santos shipper was 90 points
higher. asking 1O.20c for bourbon
As. However. other offers indicated
no particular change, viz: Genuine
bourbon IS, at 1O.25c; new crof.
bourbon As at 9.5Oc; part bourbon
As of fair description at 9.25c, and
peaberrys IS IS at 9.5Oc. Late yes
terday victorias were offered a,

Number Of Cattle on Farms in United States.

Canada and Mexico exceeded the ex-
ports of beef cattle. The United
States was a beef deficient country
to the extent of 100000, 900 pounds
in 1914 and $4,000. 100000 pounds IN
1915.
The war turned the tide and the
surplus Of beef jumped to $4,000
900 pounds in 1916, to 2O6,OOO, 900
pounds in 1917, and the record, 576.-
100000 pounds, in 1918, when the
decline began and the surplus fell
to 100000 pounds in 1919.
The decrease in the number of
beef cattle reported on January /,
1921, compared with a year previous,
was l,SSO,0O0, or AZ per cent, and
also a decline Of 27.3 per cent in
value per head. The decrease in
the number of animals marketed is
shown in the late reports of the
Federal Bureau of Markets. The
number of cattle and calves receiv-
ed at public stockyards in 1920 was
12.1S5,521 as against l3,619.622 in
1919. a loss of 1.434.101 or 1O5 per
cent. At the same time stockers
and feeder shipment fell of 22.9
per cent.
The number OF cattle slaughtered
under inspection in April, this year.
decreased 33,452 head from March
and 46,632 from April. 1920.
The greatest decline is to be seen
in export. In April, 1920. 17.707.66a
pounds OF fresh beef and veal were
exported. while in April of this year
only 2l5,793 pounds were sent out.
Imports decreased about so per cent
in the same period, however, from
5,195,4o0 pounds to 2,511.947 pounds
For the first ten months, ending
in April. 1921, exports of fresh beet
amounted to only 20.754.00o pounds
compared with 13s,72s.oO0 pounds
exported in the same period last
year.
Taking a longer view Of the ex-
port trade in cattle. beef and beet
products, 1t is evident that the war
brought only a partial recovery OF
our ability to furnish a surplus for
export. A comparison of five-year
periods from 1882 to 1916 and the
yearly records thereafter show the
downward tendency which has beer
apparent for many years.
