CHARRIS TO BE POSTMASTER

While his appointment as postmaster
of wildwood has not been announced,
the Journal believes that the APP
pointee will be j. Albert Harris. This
belief is reasonably certain, being
based upon information that has
gradually leaked out from headquart-
ers and finally found it's way down
here. While not at liberty to reveal
the source of this information, it may
not be amiss to state that it comes
from one who is in pretty close touch
with the leaders of political affairs in
Cape May County. Mr.. Harris has
been a resident of Wildwood for 25
years. He formerly owned the Edge
ton Inn Hotel, corner Cedar and Pa
cifc avenues, and for a number of
years conducted same, himself. very
successfully. He served nj term,
prior, as postmaster of Wildwood,
under Taft's administration, from 1910
to 1914, inclusive. He should bring,
therefore, to the coming management
of this office valuable experience
gained during his former incumbency.
If it be true, as given out, that Mr..
Harris is to be the appointee, a bust
ness administration equally as eff
eient as that of his immediate prede-
cessor, George N. Smith, may be
looked for.

HAMMONTON AN EASY WALK0VER
FOR WILDWOOD

Harmonious fast basketball team
came to wildwood last Tuesday even
ing but the visitors proved to be not
fast enough for Wildwood. The locals
had an easy time with them, scoring
their first basket less than a minute
after the start of the game. The end
of the game saw Wildwood forgetting
all about scoring, but merely anus
ing themselves by passing the ball
back and forth down the length of
the floor, much to the chagrin of the
Hammonton five.
A word must be said about the visit
ing team. In their lineup was Ritche,
undoubtedly one of the strongest,
awkwardest and most comical players
ever seen in the Wildwood cage. Tall
of stature and broad of shoulders he
is an asset to the team if for no other
reason than the notoriety he brings
them. He was the butt of all jokes
from the spectators on Tuesday night,
but regardless of this scored four of
the field goals tailed up for Harmon
ton. Early in the game he attempted
one of the Oldest tricks known to
basketball. With Delaney directly un-
der his basket about to make a goal
without any opponent nearby, Ritche
made a mad rush to catch him, run
ming ftatfooted and shaking the whole
building with his noise. Delaney paid
no heed to the o%nrushing opponent
and neatly dropped the ball into the
basket for two points. 1t takes more
than a lot of noise to scare a Wild
wood man.
The end of the first half saw the
score 1920 in favor of the wildwood
team. Cummins replaced Warrington
at the opening of the second half and
shortly thereafter Warrington came
into the game in place of Livezey at
center. The score of the game was:

Reeve, are arranging the program.
Chicken pox is wide spread in the
poultry industry not only in Cape May
County, but all over New Jersey and
the New England states. Just to show
what good breeding will do, it should
be mentioned that VIM. H. Laws pen
of high priced leghorns are laying Sc
per cent, even though they are in a
moult and are in the throes of chicken
pox.
Bulletins dealing with poultry hous-
ing, feeding. treating diseases, hatch
ing and brooding will be sent upon re-
quest to the office of Farm Demon

RENEW FIGHT FOR BOBOLINK
PROTECTION

With the introduction into the Leg
islature of Assembly Bill 81, restoring
the bobolink to the list of song and in
%sectivorous birds under the New Jer-
sey laws, with permanent protection,
the opening gun has been fired in the
1923 campaign of the long and bitter
fight to protect these little songsters.
After some five years of fruitless
effort the New Jersey Audubon So
ciety succeeded in so convincing the
Legislature of 1921 that the bill went
through practically unanimously, be-
ing shown special consideration. In
1922, however, Senator Allen, the
special champion of the Salem County
song-bird gunners, as he has been
dubbed, introduced a repeater, and
making a personal matter of it jam
med it through the Senate and sue
ceeded, in the face of strong public
opposition in securing just enough
votes in the Assembly to pass it. The
Audubon Society's years of effort
were undone, the little song bird was
again a legal outcast, and most of the
Senators and a considerable number Of
Assemblymen had performed the aero
batic feat of reversing themselves in
less than a year.
Real or feigned ignorance of facts
of a most astonishing character ex-
lists in certain quarters in the Legis-
lature, according to the Audubon So
ciety. At Society headquarters in
Newark certain interesting CORE
spondence is said to contain proof Of
the claim. While not confidential, the
Society holds that it would not be
fair at this time to make this corre-
spondence public, but if ordinary edu-
cational measures cannot clarity the
situation it is intimated that for the
public benefit it may become necessary
to expose, in order to correct this real
or feigned ignorance. The Society
has expert support for it's claims in
behalf of bobolink protection, and de-
fes the opposition to produce any real
reason why these beautiful songsters
and insect-eating birds should not be
protected in New Jersey, as they are
elsewhere in the north.

Mr.. and Mrs. Morris Leedom had an
