TALL CEDARS PLAN BIG TIMES

Three big times are in store for all
Tall Cedars in this section of the
state.
On Saturday, June 25th, Bridgeton
Forest will hold it's annual Field Day
in the afternoon at the old West Jer-
sey Academy grounds and a big cere-
monial session at the Bridgeton Ar
mory in the evening. Many from Cape
May County Forest are expecting to
attend.
On Thursday, july 14th, Sea Isle
City will entertain and be entertained
by the Cedar Band of Bridgeton For
est. This band is one of the best in
the order and incidentally in this sec
ton of the country. They will give a
concert, followed by a parade on the
boardwalk and then a ceremonial ses-
sion of Cape May County Forest will
be held following in the Excursion
House. Mayor Irving Fitch is at the
head of the committee of arrangements
and his committee is making great
strides toward a big event.
A Tall Cedar Beach Day is also
planned by Cape May County Forest
for Saturday, July Both, with a big
parade, competitive drill by guards,
music by bands and a monster cere-
monial in the evening.
A committee headed by Mayor W. D.
Ham, of West Wildwood, named at the
February meeting held in Wildwood,
is now getting it's plans well under
way and gives promise of a big time.
Substantial prizes will be offered
to the best bands and best degree
team in drilling, and the prizes will be
made sufficient to make it worth while
for other Forests to come here and
compete.
Present plans also include a big
clam bake on the beach, besides other
amusements. We will tell more later
when plans are perfected.

POOL SHARK PERFORMS

w. H. Clearwater, erstwhie World
Champion polo player, appeared at
Ted Schott's Wayne Billiard Parlors
at Oak and Atlantic avenues last Mon
day and Tuesday and exhibited his
wares.
Mr.. Clearwater has a fine record. In
1887, at Chicago, Ill, he became World
Champion. Again, in 1888, at SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, and in 1889, at Binghamp-
ton, N. Y, he won the World Tourna-
ment. He became champion again in
1895 at Syracuse and in Brooklyn in
1902. He played in another World
Tournament in Buffalo in 1906.
After the game he gave an exhibit
ton of trick shots, but confined him
self almost entirely during the even
ing to demonstrating the proper way
to shoot pocket billiards. Admission
was 35 cents.
After announcing that he would play
Lester Smith, of ocean City on Tues
day, Mr.. Clearwater opened the exhi-
bition game with a safe break. He

about 20. The final score was Clear

SHOEMAKER SHOP ROBBED

The friends and patrons of A. Bur-
ton, shoemaker, 3409 Holly Beach ave-
nue., will sympathize with him once
more in his latest misfortune. Hav-
ing lost everything in the Bright block
fire, he set out, undaunted, to start all
over again. In the Journal Mr.. Bur-
ton announced his %re-opening. The
ink on the paper had scarcely dried
when some miscreant, that night,
broke a large pane of glass in the rear
window of his shop and thus effected
an entrance. All the rubber heels he
had in stock were stolen, in addition
to his shoemaker's knife, nail cut
ter, nails and some other articles. 1t
almost surpasses belief that any thief
would stoop SO low as to rob a little
shop like this, SO useful in catering to
the needs of the pedestrian public.

TRAIN HITS AUTO

The ten thirty train on the Penn
sylvania Railroad hit the Hudson run
about of Henry Stevenson last Monday
on the Walnut avenu crossing in
Anglesea. The auto was badly smashed
in the rear. Both wheels were crushed
to finder, the hood was mashed and
the real of the body was bent beyond
repair. The front of the car wasn't
even scratched.
MI. Stevenson is a Philadelphia man
summering at his cottage at Third and
New York n His right cheek
was cut and he was badly wrenched
and strained all over, but he came out
very luckily. He says that he will
have to consult his attorney before
bringing suit against the railroad, but
that he will certainly make them pay
for the car.
He was driving slowly with a cake
of ice on the running board, and was
nearly across the tracks when the en-
CINE hit the rear of his car and pushed
it on a short way ahead of it. Mr..
Stevenson says the fishhouse hid the
train from his view and the engineer
didn't blow his whistle. The station
agent at Anglesea says he thought
that Mr.. Stevenson was looking at the
cake of ice on the running board and
so didn't observe the train which vas
drawing into the station a block away.
Mr.. Stevenson was treated at DR..
Mace's Hospital. He climbed out of
the car right after the accident with
out any assistance. He is now recu-
perating. His Philadelphia address is
4036 Market street.

SCOUTS SEE PICTURE AT CASINO

w. c. Hunt invited the Boy and Girl
Scouts to attend the first showing OF
"Kazan" at the Casino Theatre last
Friday. The Girl Scouts met at the
Baptist parsonage and marched under
Scoutmistress' Livezey to the Casino,
where they had reserved seats. Thirty
Girl Scouts were present. After their
regular meeting and drill, the Boy
Scouts, As strong, fell in behind
Scoutmaster CORTLAND Steelman and
Assistant Scoutmaster Laurence Chal-
mers and attended the second show.
"Kazan" was shown Friday at the
Casino and Saturday and Sunday at
Bakers. The story is woven about a
big sledge dog, half wolf, of the North
woods. He has learned to hate all
men because of the i'll treatment he
has received from them. But one
woman treats him kindly and he loves
her al only a dog a love. Becom-
ing free, he takes to the woods and
leads a wolf pack. Answering the
call of the only human he yer cared
for, he v her by sinking his teeth
into the throat of BLACK" McCready,
his worst enemy. Besides the ro-
nance of the wolf-dog, a murder mys-
terry is woven throughout the story,
and several intensely exciting incl
dents take place. Probably the n
that brought the audience farthest out
on the edges Of their chairs was the
fight between a man and girl against
a pack of wolves headed by "Kazan."
After all the sledge dogs are killed
"Kazan" discovers whom he has been
fighting for and turns on his pack and
scatters them.

OH, FOR A LIFE ON THE BRINY
DEEP

Last Saturday night, or rather half
past two Sunday morning, after at
tending a dance, ten jolly sailormen,
to wit, Martin Long, Sven Long, Roy
Cummins, Lester Schott, Charles Fos-
ter, George Coombs, Jay Bush, William
Geisenberger, Douglas Schail and Mil
ton Lohse, set sail in Martin Longs
pound boat from Anglesea. They
reached a point about three miles off
shore and seven miles from Anglesea
by four o'clock. They anchored until
daylight and then did some fishing,
but caught very little owing to the
rough weather. Most of the party was
sick, due to the same cause At ten
o'clock Sunday morning they made up
their minds to come ashore, but found
they were out of gasoline. They
hoisted a coat on an oar as a signal of
distress, but none of the life saving
stations sighted it. No other boats
were out except passing tugs, and the
party twiddled their thumbs in pa
thence for five hours until Martin
Long, the father of Sven and Martin,
and owner of the pound boat, noticed
that they were the only boat out from
Anglesea and took his other boat and
towed them in.

IN A HURRY FOR HIS SUPPER

We have often been hungry and
wanted to hurry our meal along as
fast as possible, but doubt if we ever
wanted our supper a week in advance,
as did a certain third ward plumber.
Last Saturday evening he got the
family together, and all logged out in
the Sunday BEST" went to Hotel Ha-
villa where a supper was to be served
by the ladies of the Presbyterian
church. They thought it strange that
no crowds were around as is the GUS
tom on such occasions, so Jul good
friend stepped on the porch to ex-
anime his tickets, and 10 and behold,
they were just a week ahead of time.
The supper is to be next Saturday.

nesday, July 9Th to 18th inclusive.
DIR. Milton s. Littlefield, the compe-
tent Dean, not only has ability as a

and leaders as Miss Nancy Lee Fray
ser, Louisville, KY; DR.. Otto Mayer,
New York City; DR.. A. G. Sinclair,
Bloomfield; instructors in psychology,
