WEATHER AND CROPS

Synopsis of weather and crop con-
ditions in New Jersey for week end
ing Tuesday, September 10. 1922:
This has been the coolest week
since the last of May, with tempera-
lures averaging very close to normal.
Bright sunshine has prevailed every
day but two, and II moderate rain
storm occurred, ON the 18th, except
that it was heavy in extreme north
eastern counties. Nearly all crops
and foliage have rapidly approached
maturity, although the sudden
change to cooler weather may pre-
vent the full maturity of some gar
den truck. Corn is being cut and
put in shock and silos filed. Har-
vcstirg of potatoes and cranberr:es
progresses. Sweet potatoes are fairly
good. There is considerable late
fruit and truck that will probably
reach maturity. although there IL
some dropping of orchard fruit. With
temperature in the 40's on the orn
irgs of the 18th and 18th, light frosts
may have occurred in some locali-
ties, although no reports of such
have been received.

KEYPORT WILL
HAVE CONTEST
Only Republican Candidate
for Mayor Will be Opposed
by Recorder, Independent

KEYPORT. Sept. 21.-Thomas l..
Smith, the Republican candidate for
mayor of the borough, is to have
opposition at the coming election. his
opponent being Recorder Isaac N.
Johnston, who announced oficlaliy
Tuesday night that he would oppose
Candidate Smith and run on an in
dependent ticket.
There have been several rumofs
about the borough for several days
past as to whom the opposing can
didate might be, but for the past
week the name of Recorder john
ston has doomed largely before the
voters as a candidate. Tuesday night
the borough was strewn with hand'
bills announcing the recorders in
tention of running for the office.
Recorder Johnston has held the
office of justice of the peace mt
has a following. He is a veteran or
the Civil War, having Joined the u.
S. Navy when he was fifteen years
of age. Recorder Johnston's slo-
gan is: 81 made a good record. why
won't i make a good mayor?
Mr.. Smith. the only candidate to
file a petition, is backed by the Re-
publican party generally. He is a
popular candidate and says he is
glad of opposition as it will give
more satisfaction to be elected with
opposition and until Recorder john
ston's announcement that he would
run on an Independent ticket he was
alone in the field.
With a fight for the mayoralty the
coming election will undoubtedly
bring out a large vote, especially so
because the rumors now af1oat have
it that at the eleventh hour another
candidate for the office may be an
nounced and a three cornered con-
test is sure to bring the voters out.
No official announcement for
councilmen to succeed the terms OF
those two expiring. has been made.
To date there is no candidate for
either Office although there is a per-
sistent umo that one of Keyports
popular women politicians will ac-
cept the nomination for councilwo-
man.

BODY OF LEADER OF MINE
VICTIMS STILL MISSING

JACKSON, Cal, Sept. 81 (By The
Associated Press One body was
missing today among those of the
forty-seven gold miners who per-
ished from gas nearly a mile down
in the Argonaut shaft. By a whim
of fate it was the body of William
Fessel, the man who wrote on The
rock with the smoke of his miners
lamp a farewell message for all the
doomed forty-seven.
Fessel wrote: Gas getting bad.
Three o'clock"
This was three hours after ;he
miners We're trapped by the fire
above them. 1t was Fessels body,
mine officials announced early today,
that had vanished. Only his dying
me remained last night when
the rescue crew of the u. S. Bureau
of Mines checked their list and
found but forty-six bodies had been
removed.
1t was hoped to find Fessel's body
today. 1t was believed possible that
he-evidently a leader of me
stricken shift-had crept from the
chamber of death to a higher level
hoping to find some near of escape
for his comrades. The men from the
bureau of mines were certain, how
eve that they counted forty-seven
bodies when last Monday night the
gruesome discovery was made. They
considered it more likely that Fesscrs
body was buried by a cave-in since
the work of removal began.
