FIRE IN MIRROR BUILDING
CAUSES MUCH EXCITEMENT

Fire of mysterious origin, on the
third floor of The Mirror Building,
caused considerable excitement in
Mount Holly on Monday evening,
visions of another big conhagration
being uppermost in the minds of re-
sidents who heard the alarm and the
report=as tosthe location of the build
ing, which is in the middle of the
mercantile district of the town, The
recent big confagration in the Ma
sonic Temple and Kelsey & Killie
Building, with its disastrous results,
the origin of which has not been
cleared up, has made many residents
quite apprehensive when the fire
alarm sounds.
Fortunately, the Monday evening
blaze was discovered early by per-
sons who saw the fire through one of
the front windows of the building
and who gave an immediate alarm.
Extraordinary prompt response by
firemen coupled with good judgment
in handling the situation, after get
ting to the building, soon ended
the trouble. Chemicals only were
used, averting the usual damage
that results when water is turned
ON.
The loss probably will amount to
less than 500. The fire occurred at
about $50. What the result would
have been if it had happened late at
night is alarming to contemplate.

MOUNT HOLLY YOUNG
MAN COMMITS SUICIDE

Supposed to be disheartened be-
cause of martial troubles, Aubrey l..
Bstill, age q, of 81 Cherry street,
Mount Holly, committed suicide ON
Thursday morning last by shooting
himself i'm the heart with 25-cal-
ibre automatic revolver. He COM
mitted the act while sitting in his
Ford coupe. Estill unbuttoned his
coat and held the muzzle against
his body when pulling the trigger.
The missile went through his body
and was found inside his clothing at
the back.
A number of autoists passed the
coupe and saw the man sitting in the
machine, but thought he was asleep.
One of the persons who came along
made an investigation that revealed
the autoist was dead. The police
were Immediately notified, and upon
opening the door the revolver fell
to the ground. The dead man was
recognized and an Investigation made
by the officer and later by Detective
Cain and Coroner H. B. Earnest, of
Riverside, showed it to be case of
suicide.
Estill, who lived with his mother
left there Sunday morning and did
not return. His wife, who left him
some time ago because of domestic
troubles, has been living in Trenton.
She is Marion, daughter of Howard
Eckert, of Mount Holly. She went
to Detective Parker's Office on
Thursday and said Estill called on
her in Trenton on Wednesday night.
He urged her to take an automobile
ride, which she. refused. Then he
said he would like to have CONVEX
sation with her in some secluded
place like the freight station at
Trenton. This, too, was refused.
There is suspicion that if she had
accompanied him she would have
met with violence. He left her after
midnight and started toward Mount
Holly.

HANOVER FARMS SOLD
TO RINGLING CIRCUS

Report was started on Saturday
that the Hanover Farms tract of
$4,000 acres. mostly in Burlington
County and mainly between Browns
Mills and Writings, had been pur-
chased by the Ringing Bros. Circus
Corporation and would be converted
into winter quarters for the mann
moth show that now has it's winter
home at Bridgeport, Conn. While
the report is not yet officially con-
firmed, it is believed to be well
founded, especially in view of the
fact that no denial has yet come this
way.
For perhaps six months there have
been some soil experiments in pro-
gress on this tremendous tract of
pine forest for the purpose, it is
said, of determining the productivity
Of the land under certain treatment,
and it is now understood that these
experiments have been in the inter-
est of the circus corporation.
The Hanover Farms tract was
known as the Upton tract until few
years ago, having belonged to the
Upton estate of Boston. The Han
over Farms Company was formed for
the purpose of developing the place
in various commercial lines, but the
big ideas never fully came to frui-
ton and eventually the company fell
into the hands of Motor Vehicle Com
missioner William l.. Dill as receiv-
err. Mr.. Dill is reported to have said
that he could mot confirm the closing
of any deal, as all negotiations had
been conducted through upstate law
yers and there had been no corfirm-
atory report to him.

HOUSE PETERS IN UNIVERSAL'S
NEW SPECTACLE PLAY
To Star In Carter's Celebrated Play.
The Tornado"

! Heroic human endeavor, successful
in the face of great obstacles, is the
subject that always has a strong APP
peal whether it be presented in the
guise of literary fiction, the mum
merry of the speaking stage or the
INSTALLATION made possible by the
screen.
1t is such a story that is told in
"The Tornado" Universal-Jewel,
starring House Peters. which will be
shown at the Auditorium Theatre,
Burlington, on Monday and Tuesday,
February 23rd and Gath. The origi-
nal of the screen story is the famous
melodrama of the stage written by
Lincoln j. Carter, and noted as one
of the most spectacular productions
in the history of the stage.
The action of "The Tornado" takes
place in the North Woods, where
men chop great trees and raft them
down turbulent waters to the mills.
To obtain the proper environment
the company filmed "The Tornado"
went on location to the heavily tim
bered region of Idaho, along the
banks of the St. Joe river. The COM
pany was the first motion picture out
fit ever to go into the locality and
one result is some wonderful scenic
effects.
Peters has the name part in the
picture, "The Tornado" a nickname
by which logging boss is known
throughout the countryside. Mystery
surrounds not only the real identity
of the man but the reason for his
being in the woods. However, there
is none who question his ability, eth
err as woodsman or as leader of
men, and his great strength and
harsh temper make him feared.
One of the biggest scenes is that
of the log jam, where the thousands
of huge logs are piled like match
wood by the force of storm-flooded
river, backing up the water until It
threatens to sweep a little settle
ment.

GROW MORE VEGETABLES AND
HAVE THEM FRESH FROM

1t is a fact worth remembering
that many of the best varieties,
among even the common vegetables,
cannot be bought in the market, for
the reason that they will not stand

These varieties can be grown in
the home garden, as we'll as the less
desirable sorts, and supply the sub
urbanites table with luxuries that
the city man must go without. The
man with a garden can have them

DELANCO TO BUILD SCHOOL
IN DEFIANCE OF VOTERS

Beaten at the school election, but
still determined to give Delanco a
new school, the board of education
will rush it's plans through before
the new members are seated. The
town has been split on the question
Of spending large sum of money
for the proposed school. A citizens
committee opposing the project, put
forward set of candidates at the
election last Tuesday, and the pres
emit members of the board, seeking
reelection, were defeated.
BY small majority, special
election had authorized the expendi'
ture of $125,0OO for school. Wher
bids were submitted it was found
that the sum was insufficient tc
build the structure. Another appro
priation was sought, but the voters
declined to approve it. The election
was close.
Upon the election of the "anti'
school candidates, it was expected
radical change in the boards pro
gram would result. But the schoo
board says nothing of the kind i
intended so far as the new schoo
plans are concerned. The new mem
bers will not be seated until April
which leaves seven weeks for tn
old board to get busy on the ney
building, and while $125,OO0 won
build the first proposed school,
will pay for the erection of som
kind Of a structure.
