E I%NCARCERATED

A. A. Clegg, who has been on the
wildwood police force for two years.
was arrested and sentenced to 30 days
in the county prison by Mayor Hendee
for disorderly conduct and imperson-
ating an officer. The mayor maintains
that as he did not appoint Clegg to the
force, he is not legally on the force
and therefore not entitled to wear the
uniform.
Judge H. H. Eldredge released Clegg
on 500 bail furnished by John
Taylor. The hearing was held We'd
nesday morning. Judge Eldredge
reprimanded Mayor Hendee for not
giving Clegg a trial before sentencing
him to prison.
Besides many other duties, Clegg
is garbage inspector and attendance
officer for the Wildwood schools. From
the latter office he has earned the sob
riquet of "Kid-snatcher." He is a
familiar sight driving around the
streets of wildwood in hts Anticipated
Hupmobile. He is a protege of Frank
E. Smith.

WILDWOOD STORE ROBBED

The store of the Atlantic Tobacco
Company, located under Hotel Sea-
crest, was robbed sometime last Sun
day night or Monday morning. The
safe was blown open and all valuables
taken. The amount of cash obtained
is believed to have been about 5000,
besides some diamond rings and other
jewelry belonging to the wife of John
H. Humber, the proprietor. 1t was a
bold piece of work, occurring as it did
right in the busy business district of
wildwood. The owner of the Hotel
Seacrest slept right above the store,
as did also persons right across the
street, but no one can be found who
heard the noise of the explosion. The
job was a good one and it is believed
experts did it. The thieves made a
good getaway and there is no pros
pect of them being apprehended.

"a GUNNER.

Rev. Isaac W. Bagley had a narrow
escape last Saturday afternoon on the
express train. AS the train was pass
ing through Tuckahoe a bullet crashed
through the window and buried itself
in the woodwork near Mr.. Bagley's
head. The only statement that could
be gotten out of him was the remark
that 1t must be "a reckless gunner"
Mr.. Bagley, who is a summer cot
tager in Wildwood, is the motion pic
ture and dancing censor of Camden.
He was the principal speaker al the
Alumni Banquet last week, at which
event he annouced that he intended
to do away with jazz music. Could the
reckless gunner" have been some
pink tea hound or toddle artist, who
with the spirit of a martyr sought to
sacrifice the Honorable Censor in or
der that jazz might not perish from
the earth?

CREST THEATRE TO OPEN

The Crest Pier, undoubtedly one of
the Brightest Spots on the Island"
will be opened and running "full blast"
by next Saturday.
Workmen have been busy all this
week working on the theatre, and this
will continue until next Friday even
ing when the doors will be thrown
open to the public for the first time.
The theatre will be under the Hunt
Theatre banner and will be run on the
same high class principle as their
other houses. Mr.. Hunt has pur-
chased two new Simplex motion pic
ture machines and these will be in
stalled next week. When set up they
will be capable of throwing one of
the finest pictures of any theatre in
the city. The Simplex machine is the
n used in all the largest houses of
New York and Philadelphia and is
considered the best all over the world.
For the opening attraction Manager
Hunt is presenting Monte Blue and
Mary Thurman in the new Alan Dwan
production, "The Broken DOLL" This
is one of those sweet rural dramas
that are enjoyed by both young and
old. Monte Blue has the role of a coun-
try Boob" but his efforts to get a
new doll for the little crippled child
in the story will bring sympathy from
all. 1t is a fit production to open this
new residential theatre.
Resident Manager Chas. A. RossKam
hopes to make the theatre the gather
ing spot for the Crest residents and
asks their cooperation in any a
possible.
The concerts on the pier are to be-
gin on Saturday, July I'd, and special
programs are being planned for the
entire summer. With bowling and
billiards now running in the bowling
section of the pier and with the ice
cream, candy and novelty boths all
opened the pier will undoubtedly be
taxed this season to accommodate the
crowds that will gather there nightly
during the season.

BIG WELCOME FOR sHRINERs

The Shriners of this city are plan
ming a big parade and reception for
visiting Shriners from all over the
state when they come down on their
big excursion on Wednesday, July 10.
The local Shriners are getting well
organized now and have applied for a
charter. The men who deserve the
most credit for the formation of the
club are Fred. Himmelein, Robert
Latimer, Robert Pierpont, F. M. Rich,
Gus. He'll and Edwin B. Pagan.
Hunt and Austin have donated their
Pacific Avenue Theatre as a club house
during the summer.
In order to raise money the Shriners
are going to have an Overland car
jump a hurdle on the beach on the
day of the Shrine excursion. Tickets
of admission to witness this feat will
be sold at fifty cents apiece. After
the auto has performed for the gath
cred m~ultitudes, a ticket will be drawn
from those sold, and the person hold
ing that ticket will drive home in the
Overland triumphant. Mr.. Pierpont
is donating his commission on the
Overland, and is also standing good for
the hurdle apparatus, which will cost
$50 to get it here. Fred. Himmelein
has offered to give 10 per cent on the
amount taken in by the American
Legion, the Firemen and the Athletic
nI-I -, tsoI-ok1 1A1I hv fhAcn nj
cations, out of his own pocket. In
other words, it is a chance for the
aforesaid organizations to increase
their exchequer at Mr.. Himmelein's
expense. The 10 per cent will not
come out of the receipts of the Shrine
Club.
An interesting and varied program
has been prepared in honor of the Wis
iting Shriners. All Shriners in Cape
May County are invited to act as a
reception committee. They will meet
in front of the Avenue Theatre at a
quarter past nine On July 18th and
to the Wildwood station to
the train. The Camden Shriners
will bring down their own patrol and
band. The Camden Shriners challenge
the Wildwood ball club to a baseball
game. Play will be called at half past
three in the afternoon.
The Ocean Pier Purchase has been
procured as headquarters. Matrons
will be in attendance to take care of
The Shriners' children. The Ocean
Pier ball room has been rented for the
afternoon. The hotels designated are
he Wildwood Manor, the Savoy, the
Dayton, the Sheldon, the Brighton, the
Beechwood, Douglass Cafeteria and
he Regent restaurant.
Athletic events will take place on
he beach between one and two o'clock
between the Ocean Pier and Clayton's.
The program has not definitely been
arranged, but rest assured it will be
we'll worth watching. And then, of
there is the Overland that
jumps the hurdle.

FERTILIZER LOSS
HAS BEEN HEAVY
So Claim Manufacturers but F. -m-rs
Insist on Reduction.

1t is an accepted fact that me
prices of crops are low, higl yields
per acre must be striven for, Ferti
lizers have been the chief dependence
OF the southern farmer for pushing
up yields in the past. This year he
would of course like to have fertilizers
so cheap that he could use them to
the limit. But it seems that ferti-
lizers will not be sold as cheaply as
they have been in the past.
On the part of the fertilizer manu-
facturerer there is a claim that theX
cannot possibly get back to pee-war
prices this year. One reason given
as to why this cannot be done is that
the industry is carrying a very heavy
load OF farmers accounts that came
over from 1920. In order to carry
these notes the manufacturers have
been forced to borrow heavily. Yet,
in spite of this, losses have already
occurred on 1920 accounts. In add
ton there was considerable material
bought at peak prices last summer for
use in manufacturing mixed fertilizers
this year. On this they stand to lose.
The fertilizer industry IS underwent
ing the farmers of the south TO the
extent OF about $150,000,0 600. Had the
fertilizer manufacturers closed in and
collected all the farmers notes when
they fell due it is probable that there
would have been widespread financial
disaster.
Instead of a ruthless policy, toler-
ance has been accorded the farmer
This policy hasa burdened the manu-
faccurer so heavily that it is claimed
that fertilizer prices cannot be reduced
any further during this season.

GOOD PROFITS IN
CORN GROWING
Lewis Lee of fernando County Got
100 Bushels with 81 Worth
of Fertilizer.

Corn club members are leading the
way in successful and economical corn
growing. In one county of North Car
DINA where the average yield is %
bushels, a number of boys reported
yields averag ing SO bushels per acre
or over four times the yields made by
the older farmers. At the same time
they held the cost of production per
bushel at a much lower figure than
that of the average farmer in that
county.
Records of the South Caro- ina club
boys for 1919 show that plant food
has a large share in producing heavy
acre yields at an economical cost of
production. Several of these boys re-
ported yields of u bushels per acre
without the use of fertilizers. while Is
was about the maximum where no
plant food was applied. In other
cases liberal quantities of barnyard
manure increased the yield; but where
well balanced commercial fertilizer
was applied, the yield jumped to 80
As, so and up to 100 bushels and over
Lewis Lee of fernando county Flor
ida, produced 1905 bushels, using 81
worth of fertilizer supplemented by
MANURE. L lie average NleIu on lis
fathers farm was 80 bushels. The
average cost of producing a bushel of
his corn was 81 cents. Selling the
corn at 80 cents a bushel he cleared
$58.74. Port W. Ceiger, another club
boy, used no manure but applied $3.50
worth of commercial fertilizer ana
produced 1916 bushels on one acre at
a cost of IS cents per bushel. Selling
his corn for 80 cents per bushel, he
cleared $7564.

been weaker. The jobbers are doing =
steady business in small lots for imme-
date and nearby delivery and in turn
they are Te-orJering from mill agencies

goods for immediate deli cry is confined
largely to the staple standard branded
merchandise. hut it is also true that
many lines of wash fabrics and summer
spectalttes are not in stock. although
they are now being produced more freely.
In mill channels, there is further talk
Of curtailment of production. due TO the
wiping out Of the profit margin IN

nothing more than a steady filH:E in
