away a years growth of briers and
weeds and decorating the graves One

Her little boy was listening to every
word. He finally inquired: Mother,

PREPARING POTATO SEED BED
in Good Shape-Clover Sod
Is Excellent.

1t pays to have the potato ground
in good shape Select the best piece
of ground you have. You are putting
more money into the seed than for
any other farm crop and probably
more into the cultivation too. and so
you should have the best land. Glover
sod makes the best potato ground. Old
blue grass sod is ali right if plowed
deep enough and worked up in good
shape Timothy sod is not good. Avoid
fresh manure IL produces scab.

Hafner Will Build
House viii Have a Capacity q
bodybuilding to Contain
IL Stores and % Apis.

When the James Lewis Risley prop
erty, at the corner of Main street and
Verona avenue, was sold recently by
Zippler & Wootton to William M. Half
ner, of Atlantic City, it was stated
that he intended to erect a moving
picture theatre, stores and apartments
on the premises. Mrs. Hafner, speak
ing of the transaction, has verified
this fact. In her husbands absence
she stated that the lease held by
them on the Liberty Theatre, in At
lantic City, would soon expire, and
they intended to yacate that place to
take over the new enterprise.
The new picture house will be
called "The Stanley" and will have a
capacity of about 1900 people. 1t will
be modern in every detail and fire
proof throughout. In addition to the
theatre, the building will contain
eleven stores and twenty-five apart
ments.
The lot has a frontage of 140 feet
on Main street and a depth of 157
feet on Verona venue. The price
paid by Mr.. Hafner is 100000. The
property was only recently sold by
Mr.. Risley to Zippler & Wootton for
the sum of SIG, 900. The late sale rep
resents a new record value for South
Main street property.

Interesting Address
To Republican Women
Mrs. Nina Frantz Explained
Work of State Legislature
Musical Program Rendered.

Under the auspices of the Woman's
Republican Club of Pleasantville a
meeting was held on Monday night,
which was attended by many women
from all along the mainland, to listen
to an address by Mrs. Nina j.. Frantz,
of Moorestown. Mrs. FrantZ has had
a wide experience in legislative work,
and she explained to the female voters
some of the work done at Trenton last
winter. She commented at length on
the "Women's Night Work Bill" Mrs.
Frantz stated that the manufacturers
of Passaic County had brought out the
fact that out of 70 night workers, all
of whom wore fur coats, seven were
selected to speak for the body, who
declared that it was necessary for
them to work nights in order to help
their husbands support their families.
One woman, who was questioned, said
that the nights were long and the
days very short, but according to the
speaker she was promptly hushed.
She declared that the women of
South Jersey were solidly against the
reelection of Senator Horace M.
FODDER, of Gloucester County, because
of the manner in which he had han
died this important bill.
Mrs. Frantz spoke for over an hour
and dwelt largely on bills that the
Legislature had failed to pass during
the past session. AT the conclusion
of her address, the speaker was in
formally presented to the women pres
ent. A piano solo was rendered by
Miss Irma Stiles and vocal solos by
Mr.. f. A. Souder and Miss Geneva
Keller.

Test Employees OF
Local PostoGce
Examined by Clerk of Railway
Service for Efficiency in Han
ding Outgoing Mail.

In order to test the efficiency of the
employees of the local post office in
handling outgoing mail so that it
would reach its proper division with
despatch, an examination vas con-
Quoted on Tuesday. The test was UNI
der the direction of Assistant Chief
Clerk Gaskel, of the Railway Mail
Service. There are SO divisions in
the State of New Jersey and each
piece of mail which comes into the
post office must be properly distribut-
ed by the employees. There are TIT
towns along this route.
In speaking of the efforts to get free
city delivery for P~leasantyille, Post
master Obert stated that t~hree-fourths
of the city was now ready for city
delivery, and plans for putting it in
effect are pending. He stated that
every letter box in the office is in
use, and the c|ongested condition is
general. 1t is thought that many of
those who have post office boxes will
give them up when the free delivery
goes into effect. Over eight miles of
paving have been laid here in the last
year preparatory to the installing of
the free city delivery.

Councilman Edward Stephenson and
daughter of Mrs. Mary Stephenson, of
Adams avenue, this city, who has oc-
cupied the position of school nurse
here for the past three years, has re-
signed that position to accept the APP

such an extent that a promotion was
only a question of time. Her new
position will be permanent, and she
will command a salary of four hun-
bred dollars more than she was re-
ceiving here. Her new duties will
give her an opportunity of demon
strating her ability along many lines,
as she has had valuable experience as
a graduate nurse.
Her work in this city has been ardu-
Gus, as it has been her duty TO assist
the Medical Inspector, and while on
duty at the school work, examine the
children as 10 their health, see that
their teeth and eyes We're in good con
dition. The sanitary conditions of the
school were inspected by her and her
activities in this line made the schools
among the best in this part OF the
country.
Miss Stephenson is a graduate OF
the local High School and she grad
uated in the class OF 1918 from Cooper
Hospital in Camden, and after serving
the required length of time, came to
this city and took charge OF the local
Red Cross station in the capacity OF
visiting nurse.
She will be greatly missed by the
students at the Pleasantyille High
School, where she had formed many
friends among the teaching staff. The
new position will carry a great deal
of responsibility with it, but never
theless her friends have placed great
confidence in her ability to handle it.
Her many friends are wishing her the
best of success in her new adventure.

Local Men Considered

After a long delay in making the
appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor

1t is expected hat Judge Ingersoll

will be named to preside over the
County Courts is a matter of con-
lecture at this time. There has been
considerable talk of having District

that position to take County Judge

kindly to any such suggestion, being
well satisfied with his position.

STROUT AGENCY
IS ESTABLISHED
Selling Office Opened in COnnec-
ton with $1,000, 900 Sales
Campaign for 1922.
Palmer Made Manager

The increasing Importance of Pleas
antville and its surrounding country
from an agricultural standpoint has
just been recognized by the establish
ment here of a selling office of the e.
A. Strout Farm Agency, Inc, and the
appointment of James J. Palmer as its
local manager.
The effect of this step will be to
give Pleasantville and Atlantic County
representation in the largest farm
selling organization in the world, hav-
ing more than $40 agents scattered all
over the United States, in Canada and
Great Britain and divisional offices in
many of the large cities of this coun-
try.
The move is an incident in a ST.
100000 sales promotion campaign
which the Strout Agency has under
taken to put over in 1922. 1t means
that Pleasantville and the farming
country around it is in for a big boost
for it will share in the benefits of
that campaign.
Many thousands of dollars are spent
by the Strout Agency annually in ad-
veTtising farms for sale, and this year
the expenditure will be increased.
Farm seekers all over America and
abroad will be told through this ad-
vertising campaign of the opportuni-
ties for buying farm property advan-
tageously in this section.
In addition, a very attractive little
booklet describing the attractiveness
of farm property here will be issued
especially for Mr.. Palmer by the
Strout Agency and distributed by him
to thousands of farm seekers and
home seekers. 1t will tell these pros
pective farm buyers what crops are
best adapted to our soils and most
profitable in our markets, and will
show what some of our successful
farmers have accomplished.
The Strout Agency has on its lists
the names of many thousands of per
sons who are seeking farm homes,
many of whom desire to locate in this
State or vicinity. The little booster
for Pl~easantville will be placed before
them. 1t should help to place this
town more prominently on the worlds
map.
What this means to a communit.
,lav readily be imagined. In som'
1 Gases, representatives of the Strou
Agency say this plan has brought al
many as ia new families into a sin
gle section thus advertised in one
year.
