Foster GosIin Advocates ConsoIida=
ton of the Four Governments
on Five Mile Beach

In the last issue Of the Home
Builder, the house organ of the t. S.
Goslin Lumber Company, a leading
article urged the consolidation of
North Wildwood, Wildwood, Wildwood
Crest and West Wildwood as one
municipality. The young man is right
and real progress cannot ONE until
it is accomplished. Definite steps, it
is said, are soon to be taken to bring
it about. The article is az follows:
Senator Lenroot spoke at the Belle
vue-Stratford on January 25th on eco
nomic reconstruction. He said among
other things that our problems could
not be solved by government alone,
but that the people of the United
States must bear their just share of
the responsibility. East, West, North
and South must move up or move
down together. What affects the one
must affect the other. There can be
no sectionalism, no selfish interests
of one section satisfied to the detri-
ment of another section. Our future
hope and salvation lies in approach
ing the problems of the whole people
as a unit and our viewpoint must be a
national one. Just as this applies to
the United States of America so it
applies to our own Five Mile Beach.
The sooner the citizens of North Wild
wood, wildwood, Wildwood Crest and
West wildwood come to the realiza-
ton that the future growth of Wild
wood is absolutely dependent On unit
ing u energies and efforts under one
central municipal government, forget
ting petty ~jealousies, political pull,
easy jobs, the sooner Wildwood is
going to push to the forefront as the
Greatest Known Resort A local or
%ganization has selected as a slogan,
Wildwood Welcomes the World. This
is fine and represents a splendid spirit,
but Wildwood can never Welcome the
World as it should until the four
municipalities come together uniting,
as it were, four puny handshakes into
one tremendous, f~ar-reaching grip that
will penetrate every nook and corner
of the United States of America. The
amalgamation of the four resorts
would give us a stronger, better
equipped resort and would enable
wildwood to carry out the program
that has been adopted by the Wild
wood Board of Trade for accomplish
ment by January 1, 1925. 1t is a sig
nificant fact that every phase of COM
mercial activity on Five Mile Beach is
represented by the Board of Trade and
it's membership drawn from every part
of the Island works as a unit to ac-
complish certain things. 1t would be
much easier to become the Greatest
Known Resort and Welcome the
World with the consolidated hand
shake of one people knit together by
one purpose, n aim and by one
municipal government"

WHEAT SEED F0R KANSAS GROVE ERS WILL BE SUPPLIED
Thousands Suffering Ad- VerSity Will Be Assisted By
 New Grain Corporation

TOPEKA, Ksns., August 20.-- Thousands of wheat growers in southwestern Kansas, ruined finan- cially by crop failures and sudden drop in wheat prices, will get re- lief if plans made by the Central Seen Wheat coronation, incorpo- rated here Monday, are a success.
 It is the aim of the corporation, J. C. N1ohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture explained Mon day to purchase seed for the strick- en farmers. This, he said, vii be done by the means of the crop share agreement used during the war.
 Under this agreement those who furnished money to purchase seed the crop raised by the farmer who gets the seed.
 It is estimated 100000 bushels of wheat seed will be needed to SOW the acreage of the big western coun- ties The santa Fe railroad is said to be making arrangements to fur nish approximately 100000 bushels of seed for the farmers along its line.
 Only responsible farmers will be given seed, according to present plans No counties will be supplied NllH SGtu where LllG COQilLg cum missiOners fail to cooperate with farm officials and the wheat corpo- ration to list responsible farmers,
 H. M. Bainer, of the Southwestern Wheat Improvement association of Kansas City, and one of the leaders of the corporation, said: We want to assure the farmers that the seed wheat seed we will purchase for them all will be the best seed that can be bought. This is not a charity propO- sition, but we feel that many farm CTS who are not in a position to pay chsh for their seed will be greatly aided in their present condition through the work done by the corp oration."
 Meetings will be held at Wichita and Hutchinson Wednesday at which the board of trade and the Chamber of Commerce of the two cities will be asked to join in the drive to raise money to purchase the seed. It is also probable that the board of trade of Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis will be asked to cooperate.

George Wash ington made an offensive and defen- slve treaty; President Monroe estab- protected this country from being absorbed by the larger and more powerful nations of the world. He is protecting China through her po- tential powers. Our diplomatic rela- tions with other nations of the world have been a protection to citizens of this country. 1 was not in the war, but my blood is on the battlefield of France.
