FARMERS SUPPLY
:, TO QUIT BUSINESS
Linwood Corporation Decides to
Sell Plant After Operating
Past Nine Years.
RAITH HAS RESIGNED.

At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Linwood Farmers Supply, an in
corporated cooperative concern sell
ing supplies to farmers at a small mar
gin of profit, it was decided to close
out the affairs of the corporation and
dispose of all the holdings, including
the valuable property fronting on the
West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, at
Linwood station. An effort will be
made next week to effect a sale to the
person making the best offer.
The corporation has been engaged
in business for the past nine years,
and during that time farmers have OBJ
tanned their seed, farm implements
and fertilizer at a cost but little above
the original cost to the Supply com
pany.
At the recent meeting DR.. William
Raith, who was President, Secretary
and a Director of the company, ten,
dered his resignation, and Vice-Presi
dent William Hauenstein is now the
acting head of the corporation.
Among the list of stockholders are
many farmers in all sections of Allan
tic County. Besides Hauenstein and
Raith, the officers of the corporation
are: Treasurer, John J.. Blackman; Di
rectors. Harry Rankin, Lester Resi-
John j. Blackman, George Hartner
William Krumm, Charles Johnson

Farmers Ask Action
Against Detective
Claim Officer of Atlantic City De-
partment Interfered With
Community Market

A number of farmers of this city
and adjacent localities who were an
noyed by action of Detective Null
hern, of the Atlantic City Department,
last week, have appealed to City Off
Gals to have Mulhern account for his
action last Saturday at the Inlet Mar
ket. After a controversy between the
officer and the farmers, it was stated
that the detective called the patrol
wagon, but when the farmers remain
ed firm, the wagon was sent back with
out any arrests being made.
Representatives of the farmers later
called upon Chief Of Police Miller and
City Solicitor Sooy, it is stated. and
learned that no official sanction had
been given Mulhern for his actions.
The farmers say the market will be
open next Saturday. 1t is conducted
on private property, leased by the
farmers for the sale of their products.
Many residents adjacent to the mar
ket are taking sides with the farmers
against the acts of Mulhern and it is
intended to ask the City Commission
.ers to look into the matter.

TROLLEY MEN
BACK ON JOB
After Many Deadlocks, Crews FL
nally Decide to Resume Work
Until End of Month
RUNNING REGULARLY

This Tuesday morning, after a break
of FIVE days, the regular scheduled
service on the Atlantic and Suburban
Trolley line was resumed from all
points with the old men operating the
cars, that is, crews of two men, as
heretofore. The final agreement to
operate the cars was reached late IN
Monday night, following a conference
between Superintendent Paul R. Col
dy and the employees. The first con
ference Monday night, but one of
many, ended in the usual deadlock.
Then the employees made an offer to
the Superintendent to resume work
until the end of November on the
same basis as before the strike, CIV
ing notice that they would quit at
that time and, in the meantime, would
break in new crews if the Superin-
tendent saw fit to employ new men.
After considering the situation Super
intenedent Goldey accepted the terms
and the men will work, two to a car,
until November Both.
Superintendent Goldey made it plain
to the men that if any of the old men
desired to stay with the company af-
ter November Both, they were priyi-
legged to do so. Until that time ar
rives matters will be somewhat in
doubt as to what will happen. 1t is
expected, however, that at least some
of the old employees will remain with
the company. /.

A very pretty autumn wedding took
place at 6 o'clock last Wednesday eve
ming, at the Lenox Apartments, Allan
tic City, when Miss Esther lngersoll,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. B. Inger-
soil, and a sister of Mrs. c. w. Hack
ney, this city, became the bride of
Charles ]. Mortimer, of Carnoustie,
Scotland. An uncle of the bride, Rev.
Aurice Parsells, officiated. The bride
was a picture in a travelling suit of
dark brown marvella cloth trimmed
with beaver, her corsage bouquet was
made of bridal roses and lilies-of-the-
valley. The brides only attendant
was her sister, Mrs. c. w. Hackney,
who acted as matron of honor. Her
dress was deep blue brocaded velvet,
and her corsage bouquet was made of
small pink roses. Mr.. c. w. Hackney
acted as best man.
Immediately following the ceremony
a wedding supper and reception was
held, which was attended by the i'm
mediate family and a few relatives.
The couple. left on a honeymoon trip
to Washington, D. c., and other points
of interest. Upon their return they
will make their future home in this
city. Mr.. Mortimer is associated with
Hackney at the Mortified Coun-
try Club. He came from. Scotland

EARLY MAILING
/. SUGGESTED
Postmaster Urges Upon Public
Importance of Assisting Prompt
Delivery Here.
MAY MARK CHRISTMAS MAIL
MAY MARK CHRISTMAS MAIL

With the rapid approach of the
Christmas season, the Postoffice De
partment at Washington is urging up
on the public the necessity of early
mailing of Christmas packages. If the
public will but heed the suggestion of
the Department it will greatly facili-
tate the handling of the vast amount
of extra mail that ONE with this
festive season. Early mailing means
a more speedy handling of your par
GELS and prompt delivery to the party
addressed. 1t also means a more
prompt delivery of incoming packages,
as it relieves the clerks in the post
Office from handling the outgoing mails
earlier, so that they may give their
attention to the incoming. 1t is also
advised that all packages be insured,
so that in the event of loss you will
be compensated to the amount of the
value of the articles.
Postmaster Whitman will attempt
this year, with the aid of his corps of
helpers, to deliver every, package in
tended for Christmas on or before
Christmas Eve. Parcels in on the last
mail Christmas Eve will be delivered,
if it is at all humanity possible. A
large increase over last years bust
ness is anticipated, in view of the fact
that the population of Pleasantville
has greatly increased within the past
twelve months. There was more mail
handled by the local Office last year
than ever before in its history, and
with the increase looked for this year,
it is expected that the force will be
taxed to capacity. For this reason,
the suggestion as to early mailing is
very timely at this office. With a fair
amount of cooperation on the part of
the public, however, all emergencies
are expected to be met.
Help the service, and help yourself,
by mailing Christmas packages early
The inscription, DO Not Open Until
Christmas, is permitted to be written
or stamped on all packages.

Absecon Civic Club
Wants Milk Served
Question Of Supplying School
Children Put Up to Parents
Want Rubbish Containers.

The Absecon Civic Club held its
regular monthly meeting last Thurs
day evening at the home of Mrs. Will
lam Frymire. The question of serving
milk to school children of the lower
grades was discussed, and it was de-
cided to send a letter to the parents
who have children in the school, to
get their opinion whether milk should
or should not be served. Until the
parents are heard from nc action will
be taken.
The ladies decided to ask Council
for more rubbish containers, to be
placed on the streets of the city. The
three purchased by the Civic Club
have disappeared, and it was thought
that if owned by the city they would
be better cared for.
A committee was named to make a
banner to be placed in the school
room which has the largest attend
ance of parents at the Parent-Teach-
ers' meeting.
The idea of having a Public Library
in the school was dispensed with. The
State demands that an experienced
librarian be in charge, and at this time
it was the consensus of opinion it
could not be afforded.

Robbers Bind Woman
Before Making Haul
Mrs. Paul Scache Securely Tied to
Chair by Three Masked Men
at Her Country Home.

Last Thursday night Mrs. Paul
Scache was attacked by three masked
burglars in her home at Hawkinsville,
Weymouth Township, and securely
bound to a chair, while the marauders
searched her home and secured valu-
able loot, consisting of S125 in cash
and valuable silver and household arti-
cles. Her husband, who was q former
County F~reehofder representing Wsy-
mouth Township, returned in about
fifteen minutes after the robbers had
departed. Mrs. Scache speaks French,
and she says the man who appeared
to be the leader of the bandits gave
her orders in French.
Scache is a dairyman, and at their
home they have a gasoline station ser
wing motor traffic. The bandits arriy-
ed in a motor car early in the evening
before Scache returned from work.
Mrs. Scache was cut at the wrists
and ankles from cords used to tie her.
She also had been gagged with a hand
kerchief. The house was ~ransacked
by the thugs. Every drawer and cup
board was opened and the clothing
pulled from the bed.
While the bandits were in the house
a motorist stopped at the pump and
blew his horn for gasoline service
One of the robbers went outside and
waited on him and pecketed the mon
ey.

kitchen" Mrs. Scaehe said, when |
