GEORGE COLL
ELECTED MAYOR
James Clifford Soul Defeated Jas.
E. Scull for City Clerk of
Somers Point.
TWO new cOUNCILMEN

Somers Point voters elected a ticket
last Tuesday which practically chang
es the city government from the poll
cies recently carried out. and places
the reins of government in the hands
OF men who are favorable to the Vol
unteer Fire Company, which has been
consistently opposed in all its moves
by those who favored the city fire de-
partment, created by city officials.
Every man elected stands for equality
of the two fire companies, and in this
attitude is seen the disappearance of
the continual strife which has marked
affairs at the Point for a long time.
It was mainly the fire company fight
which induced citizens to form the
Coll combination this year.
George Coll, who gained the RepuD=
lican nomination at the Primary Elec-
ton over the present Mayor, Charles
E. c. Steelman. was almost unani-
mously elected Mayor. In the First
Ward he received 81 votes, and in
the Second Ward he received 262
votes.
James Clifford Soul. Democrat, sup
ported by the Coll faction, defeated
the present City Clerk, James z.
Soul, for reelection by a majority Of
167. City Clerk Soul has been in
that Office for the past eighteen years.
Henry Weigand vas elected City
Treasurer on the organization ticket.
polling 367 votes over Francis Hart,
a Democratic candidate.
John Eiseman, Republican, became
Councilman over Frank Stretch, a
Democratic candidate. He will sue
coed Councilman Eckhardt, of the
! Second Ward, the first of the year.
Charles Wolf, in the First Ward
defeated Councilman John Booye for
reelection.
Lewis B. Matthias was reelected a
Justice of the Peace for a i've year
term, to start next May.
Tax Assessor John Alliger, who was
an anti-Goll candidate, was reelected
by a vote of 1870. His opponent, Ed
ward Myers, Democrat, received ONLY
IS votes.
Tax Collector A. Y. Dare was re
elected over William H. Holland.

Poultry cuIIing.

August and September are the best
months in which to Gull the poor lay
ers from the flock of hens. Thirty
per cent of the hens on the Western
Slope farms will not pay for their
feed during the next six months and
most Of the thirty per cent will not
pay anything for their feed. These
boarders are easily detected and their
removal will let the good hens have a
better chance and make room for
the pullets. Then unless one likes
to lose money he should dispose of
the culls before they get more deevly
in debt to him for they win never
pay him. The undersigned will be
glad to help anyone who needs help,
to go over their flocks.-H. A. Ire.

Fall Seeding Of Pastures.

Frequent inquiries are heard re-
garding the sowing Of grass seed for
pasture in the fall. No very definite
information on the subject is avail
able for our conditions on the West
ern Slope but in Idaho under similar
conditions it was not recommended
on account Of the loss of seed and
resulting poor stands. Grass seeded
by the middle Of August may make
sufficient growth to come through
the winter in good shape, and of
course it is possible that later seed
ing may do all right but it is believed
that the chances are unfavorable. A
light seeding of oats with fall sown
grass will help to protect it through
the winter. Plenty of moisture to
start the grass is important and the
ground should go into the winter fair.
