thing new in stockings. We have
needed the call and provided
stockings to meet the demand.

Senators and Assemblymen on a trip

MAKING BIG PLANS FOR BIG
COUNTY FAIR

The executive committee of the
County Board of Agriculture recently
met to discuss plans for holding one
of the biggest agricultural fairs Cape
May County has held in years. In spite
of the adverse weather conditions, it
is felt the farmers will make a good
agricultural showing.
An effort will be made to secure a
large number of outside horses this
veal for the horse races. Cape May
county's horsemen will not be ex-
pected, however, to compete with the
outsiders.
The Thurston Elmer Wood Post will
cooperate this year by furnishing two
snappy games of baseball, and fur
thermore, they have agreed to see
every business house in the county in
working up the Fair Booklet.
The Cape May County Vocational
School will bend it's energy towards
holding a creditable agricultural ex-
hibit and home economics exhibit.
The new Sarah Moore Chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton will have a tent on the grounds
and furnish tea and homemade cakes.
The ladies serving will be attired as
colonial danes.
The Bureau of Child Hygiene, from
Trenton, cooperating with the local
branches already established in Cape
May County, will put forth a much
stronger effort than last year in run
ming a successful Baby Keep Well Sta
ton on the grounds, where prizes will
be awarded to the 100 per cent babies.
The w. C. T. U. will also have an
attractive booth, where sanitary drink
ing cups will be on sale.
Business interests are already max
ing overtures for the privileges of
making people happy by eating, drink
ing and being merry. The executive
committee of the County Board is also
planning to have a band and furnish
ing further amusement in the line Of
acrobatic stunts.-Sea Isle City Times.

CAPE MAY COUNTY BASEBALL
LEAGUE
Standing Of the Clubs

The games on Saturday, the goth,
were the best of the season. Sea Isle
won an eleven-inning game from
Ocean View by the score of 5 to 4, not
an error being made by either team,
and it was anybody's game until the
winning run crossed the plate. Tom
Delaney, Rice, Culver and Muller were
star performers and both pitchers,
Norcross and Wagner, were fine.
Belleplain defeated Dennisville by
the score of IL to 5, but if the state
ment that Belleplain used several
hired players be proven, the game will
undoubtedly be forfeited to Dennis
vile.

COMPLETION OF THE TURTLE GUT
ROAD M
Highway to Open Two Mile Beach for
Business and Commercial Future

BUSINESS anu OOmiileTCIdI EuCuIc
The completion of the Turtle Gut
road will mean the opening of Two
Mile Beach for commercial activity,
and it has long been the aim of bust
ness interests in Cape May County to
have Cold Spring Harbor developed
as a commercial harbor, says an Ex-
change. The greatness of the project
can only be estimated by the amount
of effort spent in its development. 1t
is reported that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company may in the near
future run all of its cars over to Two
Mile Beach on tracks which will be
on the west side of the road. This
would take away from Wildwood Crest
the stocking of the engines, turntable
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 the beach.
The Board Of Freeholders of Cape May
County are actively engaged in secur-
ing the cooperation of the State and
Federal authorities in insuring the
permanency Of this Turtle Gut Road.
1t 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
nroiect besides the land enrichment
to those who may be fortunate to casn
in on the land. The opening OF Cold
Spring Harbor as a commercial pro-
iect means one day less to South
America, besides bringing to the coast
wonderful. trading possibilities ana
further developments will prove a
wonderful advantage to the children
of years to come.
The county authorities are trying
tn secure State and Federal aid in the
closing permanently of Turtle Gut
inlet. Aid has been asked the Depart
ment of Commerce and Navigation, the

WN&sN6@W From Virginia
~ came most of
the settlers of the western state,
and with them these pioneers
brought Virginia institutions
and ideals. 1t vas not until
1850 that the first authentic
journey was made by a white
man into central parts Of the
region afterwards called Ken
lucky.
Further explorations showed
that this territory held two i'm
portant attractions for settlers.
The first was the great fertility
of what was called the Blue
Grass region. The so-called
blue grass, from which this
state is nicknamed the "Blue
Grass State" is in no wise pc
culiar to Kentucky.
The second inducement for
settlers was the fact that there
were no Indians living in this
region. 1t was later found that
many rowing bands of savages
crossed the Ohio from the north
and sorely harassed the early
colonists until Clark's expedi-
lions into Ohio and Indiana
checked their invasions. In fact,
the name Kentucky is probably
derived from the Iroquois word
kentka-ke, meaning hunting
land" Another Interpretation
is clark and bloody ground"
but this is doubtless incorrect.
The main highways of travel
at that time were Daniel
Boone's evidences Road"
through Cumberland Gap and
down the Ohio. Hardy pioneers
poured into this new territory
in such numbers that in 1892,
with the permission of Virginia,
Kentucky was admitted to the
Union as the fifteenth state with
an area of 40,598 square miles.
Kentucky has thirteen electoral
votes for president. The re- /,
markable physical condition of
its population is shown in a re-
port of the volunteers in the
Civil war. This gave their av-
erage height as nearly an inch
taller than the New England
troops and with a correspond
ingly greater girth of chest.
