SUGAR INJUNCTION FOR
POLITICAL EFFECT

Injunctions and prosecutions
started by the Department of jus
tee have not frightened brokers
who have been taking advantage
Of the Republican tariff to specu-
late in sugar. The New York
Tribune, a Republican newspaper,
reports that pne large firm of
brokers as having declared that
they had opinions from reliable
sources" that the government had
Slight chance Of obtaining an in
junction against the New York
Coffee and Sugar Exhange,
If any proof were needed that
the present soaring prices are due
to speculative corners and a con-
spiracy to profiteer, that proof
was abundantly furnished a few
minutes after the government
fired its opening gun in the New
York courts in ~ effort to break
up that speculation. Immediately
there was a sharp break in the
quotations on raw sugar and op-
lions declined 80 to rs points,,
due to "heavy liquidation" In
other words, the spectators had
begun to run and get from under.
And this action Of the govern
ment was a mere gesture in the
civil courts-a mere pop gun!
What would happen if the Depart
ment of Justice got real busy and
brought a few criminal charges
that would cast the shadow of the
penitentiary across the primrose
path Of the food Spectator?
The move that started the pam
ic among the sugar profiteers was
an injunction suit brought against
the exchanges. TIE government
charges that the exchanges have
been gambling in sugar for future
delivery and through these opera
lions control the price Of the COM
modify, the inevitable result be
ing the establishment of wholly
speculative and artificial prices
without regard to normal condi-
tons" The government suit
seeks to stop this speculation.
But the form of action taken
by the Department of Justice,
well as far as it goes, does not
seem to offer any probability of
permanently curing the situation
or of reaching those INDIVID-
UALS who are actually response
bic for the existing conspiracy 70

General Daughterty is in earnest
he will not stop with this injunc-
sion, but viii proceed at pnce
against these higher up who

well as time record for continuous
flight. That distance, in a straight
line, would have taken them across

too. And both speed and distance
would have been greater, for the

straight ahead instead of making
so many turns.

LIQUOR RAIDS IN SALEM

The sale of liquor in Salem has
been notorious all over the county.
Nothing was done by the local officials
because they were nominated and
elected by that element.
The County Judge and State Prose-
cutor were appointed by the backing
of those in sympathy with the liquor
interests, so nothing can be expected
from them.
However, the Federal Prohibition
officers have heard about Salem and
last Tuesday swooped down on that
wet town unheralded. About thirty
officers with three automobile trucks
purchased liquor in a dozen or more
places and disappeared with their
confiscated wet goods. Some of the
places visited were the Eagle Home
and Club. the Schaffer House and Max
Halpern.
After the voters played a joke at

of the Y. M. C. A. and elected their
Mayor, some felt serene in having a

IF the weather is fine 10000 Tai
Cedars are expected 10 gather at
RiveEyiew Beach. Peunsville. n. j..
Saturday, August Is, for a field day
and basket picnic. The outing is
under the auspices of Penns Grove

Philadelphia, Camden, Bridgeton, Sa-
lem, Glassboro, New Jersey, Chester.
West Chester Pa; Wilmington, and
Milford Del, viii participate.
A program that viii provide some
thing doing every minute of the day
IS being arranged by a committee of
the various Masonic lodges. There
will be field sports during the morn
ing and afternoon for which hand
sn prizes viii be awarded. The
sports will embrace events for both
men and women.
Each Forest is expected to bring
along q musical organization, which
will represent them in the band CON
test. The management of the Wilson
Line and of Riverview Beach have
offered a prize Of $50 in gold for the
best band and another prize Of $50 in
gold for the best drill corps or patrol.
In addition to this it is expected there

n. J., Chester, West Chester, Whining
ton and Milford Tall Cedars will use
the Wilson Line boats. A special
schedule is being mapped out so as to
accommodate the thousands of Tall
Cedars and visitors to the beach that
day. These plans embrace free park
ing for automobiles at Fourth Street
wharf, Wilmington, and special boats
to the beach throughout the day and
evening.
Saturdays affair will not end the
activities Of the Cedars. for plans are
under way for a big moonlight ex-
cursion on the estate of Delaware"
next Thursday evening, leaving Penns
Grove at $50.
Many visiting Cedars are expected

Cedars.
According to astronomy the moon
will beam forth with a full counter
ance to make it a most delightful
evening on the large new Wilson
Liner. Dancing on the largest float
ing dance floor on the Delaware will
also be an attraction for many.

kAMP KARNEY KLOSED

After presenting four weeks of gol-
den opportunity to the boys and two
weeks to the girls, as a beginner,
Kamp Karney klosed on Saturday
when about thirty invigorated girls
reluctantly wendell their way home
with a much more healthy color than
they had carried two weeks previous.
The final week of the kamp was filled
with activities every minute of the
day from ~reveille at 7 a. m. to taps
at $50. Scores of visitors were in
kamp and most every one brought
some delicacy to show their apecia-
ton of the big community work being
done.
The farewell dinner on Friday even
was one which will yer keep fresh
the memory of Mrs. Fred Conner in
the minds of the girls for the wonder
full chicken dinner and all the fXin's
which she spread before them.
Several sketches have been cleverly
dramatized by the girls as evening
pastimes around the camp fire and
have proven very entertaining to the
many visitors who have been in kamp
most every evening. The kamp songs
NIlltI udNC bCCll ~ lin S@NAS
and leaders are only one of the things
which show the splendid kamp spirit
which has prevailed thruout.
One of the gratifying results of the
kamp has been the common spirit
shown by all from Penns Grove and
Carneys Point which will tend to point
toward a better community spirit in
other activities. Altho the Carney
Point girls predominated, Penns Grove
had a good proportional representation,
At the boys kamp the number at
tending from Penns Grove was a
marked increase owe that Of last
year.
Ramp Karney is the coming recrea-
tional centre for the young folks of
this region and it is hoped that next
year the kamp may be kept open for
a greater length of time and that the
girls may be given at least a months
privilege of the ideal kamp site.
Ideal is the word most appropriate,
for such has the kamp proven this
wear. but the one fact that makes it a
most ideal location to the Jerseyite,
is the absence of the ever-annoylng
mosquito.
A bigger and better Kamp karney
next year with both communities
working together is now the goal.
