on March 18th. 1t was the 9th in
the order of their coming and this fact
had caused the novelty of the annu-

however, from the ordinary run and
proved to be more of a surprise than
he had expected, as along in the after
noon who should come trooping in on
him and his wife seated quietly in their
home on Main Street but nearly a doz-
en- of his next of kin from Philadel-
phia.
In the party was Mr.. and Mrs. John
F. Lieb; Mrs. Lieb is his sister, Jacob
Yeager his brother, and Mrs. Yeager,
John F. Lieb, his nephew, and wife,
and their three children, Carrie, Ellen
and John.
1t was Sunday and Mr.. and Mrs.
Yeager and the rest of the family are
law-abiding citizens. They in nowise
disturbed the peace and we'll being of
the neighborhood, but it was a very
happy family reunion nevertheless
and the surprise to Mr.. Yeager was

Borough and the appropriations for
same for the years 1920 and 1921 were
nearly the same, yet there is an in
crease in the local tax rate of 81 cents,
or a difference within a fraction be-
tween the County tax rate, 69.5 for
1920 and 1.07 for 1921.
The increase in exempt property
was due to the building Of the Bor-

Farm Wages Fixed

Following the Pedricktown meeting
some two weeks ago, at which go
farmers of that section recommended
the wages to be paid for farm labor
this season, a number of men in both
the Salem and Woodstown communi-
ties asked if such meetings could not
be held at those places also for the
same purpose.
Consequently the County Board of
Agriculture arranged a meeting Mon
day evening in the Court House, Salem,
and another in Peteron's Hall, Woods
town, ninety-one farmers attending
the Salem meeting, and after nearly
two hours discussion they came to the
following recommendations:
Inasmuch as fertilizer and ma
chinery are still very high and the
prospects for the prices on crops very
poor they could not afford to pay or
binary farm labor over $30-S40 per
month and board. The Woodstown
people, of whom there were sixty at
the meeting, reduced this to $25-$35
per month, with the privilege of Civ
ing a man worth more than that any
form of a bonus. The Woodstown
section also recommended not over So
per week and board for week help,
and for day help, $500 to $3.50 per
day without board, OF for odd days,
$3.50 per day and board. The recon-
m~endations for hay and harvest were
20 cents per hour and board and for
the filling of silos, and threshing, 25
cents per hour and board.
Both Salem and Woodstown agreed
in recommending not to exceed s cents
per basket for cutting potatoes; not
to exceed 21a cents per basket for
picking tomatoes. The recommended
tions are 212 cents per basket straight
for picking up potatoes at Woodstown,
and 21a cents first size and 3 cents
second size at Salem.
These recommendations as arrived
at by some 200 representative farmers
of the County cannot of course be en-
forced if a farmer wishes to pay more.
However. the County Board asks that
all farmers try to conform to these
recommendations and thus prevent the
bidding up which has heretofore been
so beneficial to the incompetent farm
Iaborer and so costly to the farmer.
The competent farm laborer gets good
wages and doesn't need to go around
getting bids.

POIand's Big
Store Burned
$500, 900 Fine This Friday
Morning at Union Corner.
No Casualties

About Ills this Friday morning fire
broke out in M. d. Poland's depart
ment store, at Union Corner, and in
an hour the building was burned to the
ground with the contents of clothing
for men, women and children, besides
Jewelry. The fire started in the boiler
room and spread like powder. Soon
the goods in the building were in
flames and nothing could be done to
save the building nor contents. All
efforts. were to keep the fire from
spreading. The fire started in the
boiler oom of the heating apparatus
which was between the post office and
store. A strong brick wall confines
the post office while the store was a
frame structure easily burned. The
store had a brick veneer front on the
street front.
The store was the biggest business
house in Penns Grove and was in ac-
tive service to the public at II o'clock
and in ruins at IL o'clock. The walls
fell between 11.45 and noon.
The Liberty Fire Company respond
ed quickly and soon had a strong and
steady stream of water going. An
other hose ran water from a hydrant.
DUPONT Village Fire Company was
soon on the scene and did most effec-
tive service with their chemical engine.
The awning on the Mitchell build
ing on the north side of the street
caught fire and was soon burned.
While the building was scorched a
strong stream kept it from catching
fire. The pumping engine did effective
work in protecting John Holmes
building on North Broad Street and
the janitor's home at the rear of the
post office. The chemical stream kept
the fire from penetrating the entrance
of the post office.
Postmaster Hunt had the movable
mail and furniture taken out of the
moved out some things, but the thick
wall kept the fire from penetrating
the building which is the most fire
proof in Penns Grove.
The Swedesboro Fire Company ar
rived with apparatus at 1890 and Sa-
lem Fire Company arrived at 12.45.
M. D. Poland, n of the leading
merchants in Wilmington, has the
controlling interest in the store.
1t was the biggest fire ever in Penns
Grove and the loss is the greatest,
but u townspeople are thankful it
was not greater as many expected it
would be.
The fire could not have taken place
at a more favorable time. There was
no wind and with its quick discovery
and effective fire fighting its spread
confined the damage mostly to Po-
lands Department. Store.
The intense heat ruined the plate
glass windows of the Shur drug store,
7. l. Holton, paper hanger, and Holmes
restaurant.
Thousands of dollars worths of
diamonds and other precious stones
are imbedded in the debris of the fire
and it may be that they can be salv-
aged if the heat did not destroy them.
