In spite of the u~nfavorable weather
on the first day of the year, there were
enough members of the Cape May
County Board of Agriculture present
for a quorum.
The following trustees were elected;
Jos. Camp, W. S. Thompson, Ralph
Schellfnger, j.. R. Chambers, A. T. D..
Howell, D. C. Tudor, Charles Foster,
Ed. Phillips, A. B. Faure, ]. B. Cor
son, Norman Taylor, DR.. julius Way,
I. A. Powell, w. H. Powell and o. E.
Lehman.
Since the Board of Agriculture has
taken over the management of the
Cape May County Fair it has become
incorporated under the state law and
has consequently made revisions in
its bylaws. Due to these changes the
officers of the Board of Agriculture
will have to be selected by the Is trus-
tees just elected.
Agricultural Week, January 18th to
10Th, at Trenton
Every Cape May County farmer who
can afford to attend the agricultural
convention held in the Second Regi-
ment Armory at Trenton, January
10th to 10Th, should do so. Every corn
grower who has nice corn on hand
should get in touch with the county
agent about sending ten of the best
ears there to let folks know that we
too can grow prize crops. This also
applies to potato growers. There will
be a big corn and potato show in the
Armory and Cape May County will
have a few exhibits there. Those who
are intending to help out this line are
w. S. Thompson, with white corn;
Norman Taylor, with yellow corn, and
Frank Swain with potatoes.
The State Department of Home Eco
Monies has asked that Cape May
County be represented with an exhibit
of homemade millinery. A canvass
of the ladies' groups from South Den
mis-, Goshen, Sea Isle City and Cape
May Court House is now being made,
and as a result there is no doubt but
that Cape May County will be well

E. G.. SLAUGHTER BECOMES A
MASON AND RAILR0ADERS DO
HIM HONOR

Hereford Lodge, No TT, F. and A.
NJ, were hosts on Thursday evening of
last week to a big Masonic party held
in the High School Auditorium. Over
700 guests were present, coming from
Philadelphia and vicinity and even as
far distant as Harrisburg and Read
ing. The delegation came down on a
special train over the Philadelphia &
Reading and Wildwood & Delaware
Bay Short Line tracks. The train
consisted of eight steel cars and was
drawn by locomotive No. 302, which
recently broke all speed records on
the run between Philadelphia and New
York. Upon arrival here the visitors
were met by the Mayor and City Com
m~issioners and the band of the Cape
May County Tall Cedars, augmented
by members of the Wildwood City Band.
Headed by these personages the men
paraded from the Reading depot to the
high school and four abreast the pro-
cession was three city blocks long.
What occurred at the high school is
known only to the Masonic brothers,
expressions on their faces and loud
words of praise for the good time
shown them by the local lodge. Their
special train left here at 1910 A. M.
ON Friday and 80 minutes later was
in Camden. Among the Masonic clubs
visiting here in the delegation on
Thursday night were the Craftsmen
Club, High Twelve Club, Railroad
Tyreans Club. The occasion was the
raising of e. G. Slaughter, general
manager of the Wildwood and Della
ware Boy Short Line Railroad. When
a railroad man is initiated these rail-
road men usually participate.

For many years a Dunbar Quartet and Bell Ringers Company was one OF
the most popular Chautauqua and Lyceum organizations. The present COM
pany was organized by Ralph Dunbar O. the original Bell Ringers and is
most worthy to bear the Dunbar name The members of the Dunbars appear
in solos, quarets and readings and carry $50 hand bells upon which are
played some OF the best overtures and solo numbers.
In selecting the repertoire of the Dunbars, due attention is paid to the
choice Of music which is really appropriate or bells.
The feature which haracterize the program of the lumbar Quartet
is the absolute blending of their selections into a complete whole. There is
a consistency in these programs which has distinguished them among all the
Lyceum and Chauauqua attractions of the last double decade. No feature
will be remembered longer than the beautiful chimes and harmonies which
r. introduced in their sacred selections. Their original subscriptions, In
which are heard excerpts of beautiful songs, sung by the players accom-
panied by the bells, will be counted by many the most beautiful music they
ave we heard. The young men introduce a sufficient moun Of to
leaven the program properly and to sustaint thu reputation long held by the
Dunbars as musical entertainers extraordinary.
You will miss a treat if you don't hear this quartet at
the Wildwood High School Auditorium on Monday evening,
January 18th. Come out and help a good cause; for the
benefit of our American Legion Post

Valuable Gift to Farmers
The book called "The Veterinarian -
sent out to the patrons of the J. P.
Collins Company, South S~eaville, is a
fine gift. This book in dealing with
all kinds of animal diseases giving
treatment and remedial measures, is
particularly valuable to farmers at
this time since there is no practicing
veterinarian in the county. Every
farmer receiving this book will, before
the year is out, praise Mr.. Collins for
choosing such a useful gift for his
patrons.
The dairy herd at the County Farm
was tested for tubercular ~reactors
this week under the direction of j. H.
Mcneil, chief of the Department OF
Animal Industry at Trenton. By CO.
operating with the Department OF
Animal Industry this herd will be
cleaned up from tuberculosis if any is
present, and then placed on the ac-
credited list which entities the owner
to regular free inspections to see that
no tuberculosis develops later. This
move started by the Board of Free
holders and Lewis Douglass, superin-
tendent of the County Farm, is GER
tainly a commendable one. 1t will
make for better herds in Cape May
County since it is an example thai
will be followed by all the diaries in
time to come. This, coupled with pure
breeds throughout the county will
greatly improve the dairy business
Edward Phillips, of Cape May, chair.
mar of the Dairy Project Committee

SHORT 100000 SCHOOL SEATS

In this state there are 1905 900 pupils
without a seat in a classroom, Hubert
c.. Eicher, state director of school
buildings told the county school direc-
tors. Yet the state, he says, is spend
ing $40, 000, 900 on construction, but
still has a building program it cannot
finance. Then he declared that in one
year one-fourth of the money spent
for school construction was wasted.
Architects would pay most attention
to the exterior. while the classroom
should be the first consideration" The
people who pay for the schools may
naturally ask if this waste is not the
answer to the 100000 pupils without
seats.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

The 1928 season of basketball for
the Wildwood High School five opened
on December 22d, when the Woodbine
High School quintette were handed an
awful trouncing to the tune of S7-16.
The boys from Woodbine stood no
chance against the fast locals and by
the end of the first half Coach Gulick
had about decided to send in his sec
ond team. This he did shortly after
the second half opened. Even these
players were more than a match for
the visitors and the game became I'M
interesting to the spectators for its
unevenness in teams.
In the preliminary game the Juniors
defeated the All ~Scholastics 81 to 10.
The scores of the games were as

SimpsoIfs Junior Panthers won in their initial floor combat with the Berry school boys of Mt. Berry, Ga. by score of 47 to 19.
