The Third Dinner OF
Merchants Association To
Be Held May 18th

The third of the series of dinners
of the Merchants Association of the
Chamber of Commerce will be held
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
Thursday, May 18th, at p. M. The
speaker of the evening is Mr.. J. w.
Miller, head of the Accounting and
Business Administration Department
of Goldey College, Wilmington. Mr..
Miller will talk upon the subject OF
Merchandise Accounting and Busl-
ness Administration subject
which should be of vital interest to
every merchant, and it is felt by the
committee in charge that Mr.. Miller,
whose business it is to teach this par
ticular subject, and his reputation as
a speaker will make this one of the
most valuable dinners of the series.
Tickets are now available at the
Chamber of Commerce office, or
through any member of the Merch-
ants Association, and because of the
necessity of determining the number
of plates to be served, will be taken
off of sale on Tuesday, May 9th.
This dinner of the Merchants As
ISOLATION, will be followed by the
fourth and last of the series on the
25th of May. The speaker of the
! evening being A. S. Goldsborough,
secretary of the Merchants and
| Manufacturers Association of Balti-
! more. Mr. Goldsborough is not a
stranger to the Cambridge people and
mis- ability to express his thoughts
| and ideas, has built reputation for
him which is we'll deserved. A large
attendance is expected at both of
these dinners.

Professional Beggar
Sent Out OF Town

Last Saturday there appeared in
Cambridge a man who had but one
arm, who was selling and delivering
packages of sachet. Some two weeks
ago this same man appeared in Cam
bridge begging and asking for aims
in order that he might escure an edu
cation in telegraphy. Upon meeting
one of the merchant members OF the
Chamber of Commerce he was refus-
ed assistance and referred to the
Chamber of Commerce for a letter
of recommendation which constitutes
notification to the general public
that he had been Investigated and
found worthy, but as it was impossi-
Bile for him to produce sufficient ere
dentials he was refused the right to
solicit. He was afterwards picked
up on the street by the police depart
ment and sent out of town. HIS
temperance last Saturday resulted
i nthe same experience.
In this mans being refused Gre
dentials the people of Cambridge
were undoubtedly saved considerable
money and it goes to prove the adj
visibility OF investigating all ped
dlers and solicitors, who appear at
our doors.
During the past year the Chamber
of Commerce has investigated thirty
five cases, five OF whom have been
-four. 10 be illegitimate, and have
Their &c been refused the privilege
Of soliciting. There have been, how
ever, 9 number OF cases which have
noi !;2en referred to the Chamber of
investigation and as consequence
this service to the general public,
and the membership, has not been of
the value that it should be. We hope
that this experience of last Saturday
may prove the value of this plan and
the general citizenship of Cambridge
will try to cooperate with us in
eliminating this nuisance.

Some women may be afraid OF some

wearing diamonds-well, the heroine

begins and ends with her.

head of the abandonment bureau of

turned from vacation in Maine to
find a mouse cavorting on the foor of
her office with a diamond cleaning

Miss Allen realizing, perhaps, that
she could never get away with the
story without something resembling
proof, caught that mouse. Whether
she did 1t with gas, hypnotism or a

she got close enough to extract a
diamond earring from the mouse's tail
though she let the mouse get away
without attempting to arrest 1t for
burglary. The earring was turned

ment this season will be heavy in pro-
portion to the size of the total crop.
For example, in 1921, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana Illinois, Iowa, Missouri
and Kentucky, which normally con-
sumo in addition to their won produc-
ton, the bulk of the surplus from the
northern tier of commercial states,
grew IS million bushels less than in
1920. This difference, almost 10000
cars, did not materially affect Stats
tics of shipments from those states be-
cause of the large crop of 1920 being
consumed locally, but the shortage of
1921 in this area was met by shipments
from other states. Maine, North Da-
kota, Colorado and Idaho had this sea-
son large crops amounting to about
20 million bushels more than in 1920
Up to February rs, 1922, these four
states had shipped about 10000 cars
or around 18 million bushels more thar
last year to the same date.

never ceasing activity. The losers in
the Knickerbockcr disaster, neither
the physically hurt nor the bereaved

Bandages were applied and then the
injured were taken to hospitals or

But the dead lay long in the double
