BOWERS BEACH

The big days here are a thing of the
past for this season at least. Tht
weekend just past was one of thu
greatest of any weekend that thi'
place has ever witnessed.
The hotels, boarding houses, anC
rOoming houses were not equal to the
demand that was made upon them
The cottages were all filled with So
journers that had previously secured
them and many had to sleep in theil
cars on Saturday and Sunday nights.
But Tuesday morning of this week
presented a different appearance
quietness prevailed and those who haC
remained for the week or longer haC
Quietness and plenty of accOmmOda-
tions.
The majority of the cottages are va
cant now, as those who have been oc-
cupying them had to return to theiI
homes and business as their vacations
having expired, and many of the
families who were occupying the cot
tages had to be home in order for
their children to go to school.
Parties with an aeroplane operated
here on Sunday and Monday and did
a rOusing business, especially on Sun
day-the machine being kept in oper-
alton nearly all the time, and strange,
but true, the greater part of their pa
irons were ladies, who exhibited great
er nerve for a flight in the air than
the men.
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew TOmlinson,
Mrs. Mamie West, Jack West, Miss
Ida Tomlinson, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Haggerty and Master Billy and Paran
TomlinsOn, Jr, and lady friend, all of
Philadelphia, have returned home af-
ter having spent a jovial time in the
Oakleaf cottage on Hubbard avenue.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Lynch, of Phil
adelphia, were guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alex Minner and Miss Jane Mitten
over the weekend and over Labor Day
at Willow Croft. Mr.. Lynch being an
expert with the rod and reel took in
the fishing and among the large num-
bers of weakies he landed two blue
fish of extra size.
Rawlson's Happy Six that has been
playing here during the last three
months, will finish their mission here
after next Saturday night and depart
for their homes. Those who have
availed themselves of hearing their
most excellent musical productions
will regret their departure.
The bus lines running from here to
Dover had to employ extra help with
their machines to accommodate the
great rush for their homes in the
evening on Labor Day.
Our school did not open on the 9Th
of this month in accordance with the
edict as set forth for the opening on
account of a misunderstanding as to
the teacher. It's a fact and a shame
that our public school of this place is
deteriorating from the standard in
which it maintained only few years
ago, when it ranked second to none as
district school.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur Camper, Mr..
and Mrs. w. S. Davidson and Miss
Carrie Davidson motored to Oak Or
chard and spent the day last Sunday.
Mrs. Alex Minner is spending the
week with relatives and friends in
Philadelphia.

The city cousins have about all de-
parted for their homes. Some to enter
their schools; others to resume their
work.
Our school opened on Wednesday
of this week with Miss Edith
FARRELL, of near Frederick, in charge,

The farmers up through the farm
ing section are held up in getting
their corn cut and fodder saved on
account Of the scarcity of farm labor
and the enormous prices of labor

The tomato crop in this section is
much heavier than at first consider
