Now the Board of Education has adj
vertised for bids for the building of
the school.

regretted that the building

lot have been completed in time
for the opening day of this school
term, but such could not be done un-
der the circumstances. There will be
some additional room this year at the
Park avenue building, because of the
removal of the vocational school Off
ces from that building.
While the Board of Education has
decided not to take pupils generally
from out of town this coming school
year., at the High School, it Is possible
that those from Egg Harbor Township
will be allowed to attend the local
High School. There is not room for
all the pupils from surrounding NUM-
cipalities at the High School, but
there is accommodation for some of
them over the number who will attend
from this city. Absecon City has al
ready arranged to send its High
School pupils to Atlantic City this
coming year..

FLOWER BEDS
NICELY KEPT
Municipal Lawn Presents Finest
Appearance of Any Time
During It's Existence.
Firemen Attendants

For several weeks citizens and Wis
itors to the city have been admiring
the well kept lawn and flower beds at
the City Hall and Fire. House. In fact
since early June, when the rambler
roses started to bloom on the bounda-
ry fence and the fire bell tower, the
place has been one of beauty. 1t is
now a riot of color with the many
towering plants blooming in the five
well groomed flower beds on the lawn
and another bed in the ear of the
fire house. For several years this has
been one of the show places of the
city in summer, but this year it out
classes all other years.
The lawn is kept moved close and
we'll watered and presents a wonderful
appearance under the watchful eyes of
the fremen, who devote much time to
the gardening. Captain Charles w.
Schmidt is the head gardener and an
expert foriculturist. In making the
selection of the flowers for the beds
this veal he has used discretion that
is telling in the wonderful effect pro-
duced. To any lover of the beautiful
in flowers the sight presented is one
that fingers long in memory. Captain
Schmidt has able assistants in Frank
Plumridge and John Barkoff, who take
great pride in keeping the lawn well
trimmed and watered.
OF the five circular flower plots the
centre one is slightly the larger. Each
ohesi is enclosed with a neat wire fence
that adds much to the at~tractiveness
of the scene. In the centre bed is a
border of red and yellow tofess:: Then
comes a circle Of ~poitevene gerani-

deep row of mixed zinias, with a bed
of zinias in the rear of the building.
Along the side Of the driveway, next
TO the building, is a long bed contain
ing dahlias, a~sters, snap dragons, ma
rigolds, geraniums, coxcomb, nicotene
and sweet alyssum. Many of these
plants are now blooming, but the dab
las have not yet started to bloom. A
little later in the season they will
burst forth in a %profusion of rich color
that will make a very beautiful sight.
Captain Schmidt, Plumridge and Bar
koff deserve great credit for the hand
some plot, which furnishes so much
real enjoyment to those who either
have not the tact, facilities or the
room to maintain a beautiful flower
garden themselves, but who can enjoy
the flowers on the municipal property.

assertions which have been made
lately by Edward C. Held. member of

Mr.. Held was a guest Of the board

and thereafter he expressed himself
as being impressed not only with the
climate Of Phoenix, which he pro-
nounced superior to that of El Paso.
but with the business conditions OF
the city.
In connection with his examination
of business conditions here, he said
that his business judgment led him
to believe that Phoenix was a city
of $4,000, basing his opinion upon the
volume of business done here and the
general business air of the city and
comparing it with other cities which
he has visited recently. He has not
seen q city within six months. he
said, in which the spirit Of optimism
was so apparent as here.

Stevens, Smith and Behrman, local

the following letter from their Alex
andria, Egypt correspondent. which
should be of interest to the local cot
ton growers, as well as others. The
letter is dated Dec. %. 1921:
Had it not been for fears of an
outbreak of serious political unrest
in this country, our market would
probably have registered consider
able advance.
"The fact is. that spot purchases
have increased very considerably and
the qualities in demand have been
the medium and higher grades of
Sakellaridis.
"Sakellaridis has up to the present
been the drag on our market. 1t is
rather unusual that English spinners
enter our market before Christmas,
but q revival in their trade and the
small stock in mills seem to have
changed this tradition.
In fact takings seem to have taken
a larger proportion than for some
time past. AS repeatedly reported,
the bulk of the upper Egyptian crop
has been sold. Should the demand
from Lancashire for Sakellaridis
continue, it will not be long before
enough cotton has been taken from
weak hands. The difference between
Sakellaridis and Uppers therefore is
likely to widen.
''In spite of the generally pessimis-
tic reports reaching this country
about reduced consumption of Egyp-
ton cotton, the actual small supply
can hardly have a depressing effect
on our market. 1t is true that
good deal Of the cotton shipped out
Of Egypt is yet in merchants hands,
but with another reduced acree ge
next. year, holders will not be willing
to make concessions. Further it must
not be forgotten that the worlds
needs in cotton goods are normous,
and that every improvement in fl
nancial conditions will naturally help
toward a restoration of confidence
and better trade"
