larity, he said and that more money

Saturday night with meeting OF the
stockholders of the Wilson Athletic
Association who listened to a report
from the President Mr.. ]. c. Eagles
and it's Secretary and Treasurer Mr..

The report of Secretary Warren
showed that the Association owed
$14,25O.OO and that it's property was
worth $17,OOO.0O, it's players were
worth $S,55O.0O and salaries ad-
vanced to players was $s50.00. The
property cost $20,5O0.00, so that
$4,000. is a very low estimate OF
it's value.
President Eagles made a very In
teresting talk about baseball and gen.
eral conditions. He said that the
club was making a good financial
showing up to the time of the Lands
decision. and from then on lost from
s1,5OO.OO to 100000 per month
last season.
/ It also cost considerable to present
! the facts and the matter in it's proper
light as relating to Wilson regarding
exceeding salary limits of which ev-
cry club was guilty. Judge Lands had
never made decision regarding the
matter since he had decided to take
it under further advisement. The
cost last year per month for running
the club was $4,545.OO. Mr.. Eagles
said that the club estimated its play
ers to be worth $8,500.00. That it
lhad been offered this amount for
them and that they were worth more.
HE said that Wilson had good line
up and there was no reason to be-
lieve other than that we would show
up we'll with the other teams of the
Virginia League and bring home the
penant.

Character is built upon responsible
ity.
Nature takes her time because it's
hers.
Few of us are willing to hear both
sides.
Face the facts; then season them
with hope.
Serve others and others will serve
you gladly.
A girl with pretty teeth will smile
at anything.
A difficult job postponed becomes
impossible later.
Getting even isn't half as profitable
as getting ahead.
Things seldom get so bad that they
couldn't be worse.
Some people thrive and others just
wilt under kindness.
Why is it things that don't agree
with us taste the best?
The mind of a man is the prime fac
tor in material production.
The thrifty in the long run spend
more money than the unthrifty.

The simpleton ages like the OK; his
weight increases, but not his wisdom.
A full stomach is at the basis of

In checking up our personal budget
how difficult it is to cut down the
'luxuries."
Lots of men ought to wear tail
lights SO those in a hurry won't bump
into them.
If a broom doesn't sweep clean
when it's new, you might as well get
rid of it at once.
Next to inheriting money, the most
pleasant thing is receiving a rebate

words which bear no fruit in action.
Engineers control the water; fetch

If OF a journey thou canst not find
thy peer OF one better than myself,
make the journey stoutly alone; there
is no company with a fool.
To see another's faults is easy; to
see ones own is hard. Men winnow
the faults of others like chaff; their
own they hide as a crafty gambler

h subject We're expressed and nu-
mefous suggestions were offered, but
its preparation was not authorized
even though a majority of the speak
ers favored it. However, Council in
structed the clerk to notify the solicit
tor to prepare an ordinance regulating
the erection of signs as far as it be
legally possible, with regard to requir-
ing a permit for erection, providing
for inspection concerning stability of
construction, height from ground, SO
as not to constitute a fire hazard, pub
lie nuisance, etc.
Mrs. R. L. Babcock and Mrs. Lewis
Clark, officers of the Women's Civic
Club, were present and requested
Council to appoint a committee to CO.
operate with the Civic Club committee
with the object of curbing the sign
nuisance in every possible way, and
with the view of helping Absecon col
lect the utmost mercantile tax from
the sign companies for the signs al
ready on display. The License and
Tax Committee, of which Mr.. Henry
is chairman, was authorized to assist
the Civic Club in its popular and per-
sistent endeavor to regulate the cree
ton of signs locally in every way and
name in which it may be found pos
sible.
Since Absecon has taken a decided
building boom, Mr.. Roger stated he
believes what the city needs is a
competent building inspector at the
lowest salary it is possible to procure
one for.
Council adopted a resolution provid-
ing that no gasoline or oil filling sta
ton shall be erected along the State
roads through here, unless they con-
form to the rules and regulations of
the State Highway Department gov
erning the installation and mainte-
nance of said stations.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Russell Sage, in his day the wealth
lest money lender in the world, said
he bought his straw hats in December
and his winter overcoats i'll July so
he could save money, an then folks
wondered why he was rich an they
were poor. Maybe it was good rea-
son 10 him, but was he ever rich in
all his life? They tried TO blow him
up with a bomb, he was always scared
to death, he knew the JOY of
life, he didn't get a chance TO mix
with his fellow men. The chap that
wears a felt hat when straw hats are
in season don't fit, and neither does
the fellow who buys 'em that way.
The worlds a big family an it paw
to march with your brothers an siez
ters. If we all worked at cross pus@
poses, business would close up an mo-
body'd be rich in friends or money.
