DRUNKEN AUTOISTS
ESCAPE PUNISHMENT

Drunken automobile drivers arrest
ed in New Jersey are again driving
cars few days later. This has
aroused Commissioner Dill who in
sists that the various municipal at
torneys shall prosecute offenders as
provided by law.
There the numerous instances OF
where drunken drivers have run
down persons only to become intox-
icated again and figure in other
automobile accidents.
Attorney General Katezenbach has
given an opinion to Commissioner
Dill that the town attorneys under
the law must prosecute offenders.
When an automobilist appeals
from the decision of the justice OF
the peace nothing more is likely to
be heard of the case unless the at
torney for the municipality desires
to prosecute. AS the prosecution is
not compensated the attorneys have
little zeal in the matter.
Another drawback is the reluct-
ance of doctors in hospitals as well
as outside of hospitals to say an
automobilist is drunk. For the ply
sicians to do so long means sub
poena to court with long delays and
loss of time.

New Produce Store
Opens Here Today
Progressive Concern Has Full Stock
of Fruits and Vegetables

The Beverly Fruit and Produce
Company, one of the largest distri-
butors of fruit and vegetables, in
Pennsylvania, opens new market
at 2O3 Warren Street, (next to Cam.
eron's Drug store) today friday.
The new store, equipped with the
latest sanitary fixtures, provides
much needed space to take care Of
the fruit and produce business, that
now goes out of Beverly to adjacent
towns.
The local manager commenting on
the new store said: 1--WE have always
realized the great value of consis-
tent newspaper advertising and al
though this year has been to some
business organizations very unsatis-
factory, we have gone after business
harder than ever through increasing
our newspaper appropriation and
the results of such methods are well
evidenced by the opening of our
new store"
In this day and age business does
not come to he who waits compe-
tition is becoming constantly keener,
and it behooves the organization that
hopes to achieve business success to
use every means at their command
to obtain the desired results.
They, like many other successful
firms have found that newspaper adj
vertising when done consistently,
week in and week out, is the surest
way to bring the necessary volume
of business to our stores.
The store which is branch of the
Frank Gable and Sons company, OPP
Grating stores all through Pennys-
lvania, will carry complete line OF
Fruits, Vegetables, Fish, Oysters and
jar goods, such as, Horse Radish,
Pickles, Chow-Chow and etc. The
motto of the store is Equality Ser
vice and lowest Possible Price. ~
z A telephone will be installed and
they win also have free delivery
which will mean much to the busy
house wife, who can telephone her
order to the store and have a prompt
delivery.
Another feature of this company
is the attention given to children,
they pledge to give the child who
represents the mother as much cour-
tesy and service as if she had come
herself.
Look on the last page of this issue
for the advertisement of this store
where they have listed few of their
many specials.

MT. HOLLY FAIR is SAVED
BY PLEDGES OF OLD FRIENDS

A crowd of enthusiastic men from
various parts of the county gathered
at the court house in Mount Holly
Wednesday night and talked over
the continuance of the old historic
Mount Holly Fair, which has been in
existence for over seventy-five
years.
The meeting was called to order
by Assemblyman Clifford R. Powell.
Russell C. Chance was selected for
the secretary. The object of the
meeting was explained by Robert
Peacock, who said that he believed
new fair association could be
formed and enough stock sold in a
short time to be able to purchase the
property from the new owner
1t was stated that Samuel Browne
has purchased the property for $780,
900. He has paid a deposit of $4,000
and is to pay the remainder Decem-
Der /.
He has offered to sell the property
to the fair association for $4,000.
The committee waited on the new
owner and secured an option, which
is good until December /. All that
is necessary for the new committee
to do is to pay Mr.. Browne the $4,000
deposit money, with the $4,000 profit
and $500 which he has spent since
it has been in his possession, making
total of $500.
The promoters for the new fair as
ISOLATION are SO certain that the pro-
ject is going through with bells on
that a motion was made to appoint
committee of five to try to secure
the $500, and if this was secured
to make plans for the forming of a
new association.
Before the committee left the
courthouse, over $4,000 was sub
scribed. The committee will i'm
mediately negotiate for the purchase
of the property and the formation
of a NEW organization.

Beverly Defeated
Gibbon Saturday
Johnny" Hughes Celebrates Return
By Kicking Winning Field Goal

Owing to the interference of Jur
Pluvis, last Saturday. there were
not many spectators on hand to wit.
ness the football classic staged by
our boys and Gibbon A. A. of River
side. The score was to 2 but it ip
itself indicates very poorly the man
ner in which our boys ran rough
shod over the watch town boys.
John Hughes, celebrated his return
to the line up by kicking beauti-
full field goal from the 35 yard line
on difficult angle, which was the
feature play of the game and also
the deciding factor.
The score does not show just how
far the home team outclassed River
side, but when you consider "a yards
gained as against 1856 for Beverly
and first downs against z for Bev-
erly, that tells different story.
Our Boys had five fumbles, three
of which Riverside recovered. Glib
bon, fumbled on three different plays
but Dame Fortune smiled on them
and they were blessed with the re-
covery of every tumble. Beverly
blocked two Gibbon punts but only
succeeded in getting the ball once.
Gibbon blocked one Beverly kick
and after z or s different men had
fallen on the ball and knocked it in
back of the goal line, it was secured
by johnson who was forced to touch
it down giving Gibbon their 2 points.
On but one occasion did River
side really threaten the local goal
line whereas they were fighting hard
at all times to keep our boys from
crossing their line. Twice during the
first half they were pushed back
to their own is yard line, while in
the last period Smith got away for
a % yard run and made il first down
on Riverside's il yard line, Dewson
made four yards through tackle but
on the next play Bowen fumbied-
the bali losing sure chance to
score.
In the last play of the game our
flashy quarter back, Price, broke
loose and spun over the chalk line
chalk-line for a 80 yard gain. Ste
gar dropping him on the IA yard
line just as the whistle blew.
The Gennett brothers and Johnson,
played a great game on the line,
while Prices great signal work and
Dewson's line plunging featured the
back field.
Roads, Lusch, ]. Vanamburg and
Edge kept Riverside in the running
by their all around work.
