an ideal in the minds of the women
as to what kind of men they would
wish to vote to put in office, being
man who openly in Sunday School
and elsewhere stood UP for God and

take drink of liquor. That man
who would drink liquor especially
this terrible bootleg liquor would moi
enforce law against the sale and
drinking of liquor.
1t was evident that the women felt
grateful to Mr.. Yawn Cor establish

them along new and dangerous
road. But 1t was also evident that
they intend that their candidates
shall be moral, upright, temperate
men. At some early meeting the
candidates will be invited to speal

BROOKHAVEN PLANS
TO BUY IN NATCHEZ
Market for Cream, Chickens and
Eggs Assured by Com
pany.

Natchez, Miss, March 22.-The
Natchez Chamber of Commerce has
perfected arrangements with the
Brookhaven Creamery Company for
the establishment of buying sta
tion at Natchez to provide market
for cream, chickens and eggs and a
compaign of dairy development in
territory near Natchez, both Missis-
sippi and Louisiana.
The Chamber of Commerce has ar
ranged to finance dairy development
work for a period of one year and
this includes the services of a dairy
expert to assist farmers.
In effect the buying station here
will be the same as a creamery as
the full market price is to be paid.
An automobile truck line for ythe
handling of freight has been estab-
lished between Natchez and Newell
ton, La, and this is expected to be
a material factor in aiding the dairy
development program.

nous crowd, and although admission
was charged, there was standing
room only" for a hundred or more of
the enthusiastic attendants in the
Hampton Auditorium, where the con-
tests in music, defamation and reci-
tation were held. Although the
crowd was great, the order in the
auditorium was excellent.

unknown to most of the audience,
and who were referred to only by
number, occupied the stage, togeth-
er with County Superintendent of
Education, L. Russell Ellzey and Oh
lie Netherland, president of the Lin
coin County Teachers Association.

citation of the prizes given by busi-
ness men Of Brookhaven, the Kiwan-
is Club, G. B. Perkins president Of the

mented with black buttons and black

city, however, and there were many
standing. Races, pole vaulting,
putting the shot, high and broad
jumping, hammer throwing, basket
ball and other forms of athletics en-
gagged attention. The Community

DO THE PEOPLE WANT PARKS?

From all indications the purchase OF the additional
property along Water street by which Bay View Park will
be materially enlarged was a popular move as far as the res
idents are concerned. While the average citizen of Perth
Amboy at times shows little more than passive interest in
matters of civic improvement still it has always been shown
that a project of the magnitude of the Bay View purchase
will cause public sentiment to be made known as soon as
the plan decided upon by the city is made known. Like the
taxpayers of any other community the residents of this city
want to know how and where their money is being spent.
They want to know if the benefits to be derived Justify the
spending of a large sum of money.
To date there has been little or no criticism in the
Water street site purchase of park lands, which surely indi-
Gates that the action taken by the Board of Aldermen was
a popular one. AT the same time it can be said that during
the agitation some time ago for the purchase of the gas
works property at the waterfront there was little opposition
on the part of the people here. A petition was circulated in
different sections of the city, except the southern end, and
it was found that purchase of the property was approved on
all sides. Many urged that action be taken at once, as the
gas company would find it impossible to wait indefinitely
for the city officials to take the necessary steps to include
this valuable site in the city's park sites.
To date the city has made no mistake in the purchase of
park property. True, it took considerable time to develop
some of the sites, but today each stand as a monument to
the growth and betterment of the city in general. The value
of the parks here is shown daily and that value and worth
increases with the growth of the city.
AS there never has been any dissenting action against
the purchase of the gas works property, the Board OF Alder
] men should take steps at once to add this site at once to the
citys park holdings. More serious problems have been
iudiciously solved by the board that are now on the way to
fulfllment, but none would benefit the city any more than
the purchase of this valuable property. The acquiring OF
this property would round out a successful year of the city
administration.
