iVHY DROP CORSON'S INLET BRIDGET There hss been talk for the past year of a bridge across Corson's

| Inlet to connect South Ocean City with Upper Township by a

| a direct route.

e is a crying need for the immediate pushing tbrongh of ; project. Travel on the Shore Road is becoming more and : more congested—and dangerous-each season, and must have an

Wslooine to oar city, King Sol. Stick

it as hot as you like. H e can stand it; and again, we liars ail next winter with iiulfaing to do but keep cool and count

The logical outlet is by the Corson’s Inlet Bridge, thus di- ! ’" r ““’“O’-

fing the bulk of auto travel through Sea Isle Gty instead of the " e Road. Aside of the need of this bridge, too, is another DIAS CREEK

>mt, namely, that Ocean City and Sea Isle City stand a hu*vy tax 1, and are entitled to the bridge if only as a means of raising

t teal estate values.

Engineering obstacles could be easily overcome—if there are any. Get busy—-do it now.

THE FIFTY WORST WEEDS. ’ The government bureau of agriculture has just pebh'shed a descriptive list,of fifty worst weeds in the United States. To many a grown-vp'boy who used to work on the farm, this list will bring ^teafc' toftsome bourv that he used to spend on his hands and knees f in his fcther’a garden. £ * The eaae with which weeds root themselves and flourish is one E: of-thc atywerics of the government of the world. You may not be ^ able to make grass grow in your lawn, even if yon fertilize and E waty r ttS ^ul a bead of purslane (“ pusley ”), even if rooted np and Ery in the ana, will attach itself to the soil and flourish again. The removal of weeds is the task that makes gardening unpopular with moat people. It is one thing to plant seeds and start your crop on some pleasant spring day, quite another to fight the wads week after week in the hot sun. Machines may remove them trects ; but in the smaller gardening one must root for Fi fihisaelf with the hoe, and often stretch himself on all fours. It is work that is largely done by aliens and other low paid classes of

labor.

To the good farmer the absence or presence of weeds is the sign j. of efficiency or inefficiency. The red taint of sorrel in the field is J the sign of the debt and the mortgage. The thrifty farmer will let E Iwa Buildings go unpainted sooner than let some noxious weed get

- • deadly foothold among his crops.

* But even the weeds have their friends. Probably no plant l as bean more of a favorite with the poets than tbc daisy, which issnng \’to heaven as the embodiment of simple grace and modern beauty. I iThe summer boarders iu the daisy belt go wild over the filmy ft. jbeauty of a field shimmering with these slender stars. Rut to the ft Tiner it is the accursed white weed," which robs the virtue from f soil and steals the food from his cattle and family. TheGovern-

it rates it among the fifty worst weeds.

V’ EXAGGERATED FASHIONS. A woman was remarking this week that never had she seen

such a whirlgig of fashions as in the past year. Tnese eccentricities

are emphasized by the contrast with previous forms. - Lfcss than a year ago, moralists were still entering protests

•gainst the scantness of women’s skirts. Railroad companies were posting notices claiming exemption from damages, in case women fell in their bobbles and got hurt The movement to persuade

street car companies to lower their ste]a was on in many places.

To-day stylishly-dressed women carry a swirling array of skirts j p»]j»*d”u7r«ni. that are likened to the traditional pictures of Dutch women.

Many persona, wh« are not cloaely in touch with farming believe that the introduction of machinery has done away with the necessity lor strength and skill in manual operations, but these will always he important con sideratlons for the fannr r. Few people realise how hard It is to acquire this manual skill. The ■wriu.r has had an opportunity to see the efforts of many city persons, and has been surprised to see how difficult it is to acquire manual dexterity. The enUdren on the farms learn by years of practice. It takes thousands of efforts for the boy to learn to throw a baseball straight Apparently it is is last as difficult to learn to pitch

hay. If this skill is acquired

yean of practice in childlxx . is thought wbout it, hut if it is to be acquired by a mature man, it is a serious undertaking. Milking, using a saw, using an ax, and a thousand other manual operation* ate hard for a

grown person to learn, hut if one has Mrs. J. W.

But some persons ask if the fanner should not spend all of his time with business affair* and leave the manual work to hired help. There are instances on large plantations when the farmer need do no manual work, bit Uie great majority etf fsnr.»r« mm. alwa-s work with their t*ii factory the manager can supervise the work of a thousand men and can see *2 of those men in a few minutes, but with most kinds of farming this would be men enough for half a county. If this factory manager can increase the effectiveness of each man by a little, he will earn a good salary. With most kinds of fanning the farmer can use but one to five men. To have one idle manager for so few workers would make the expense of supervision ruinously large. The simple fact that the workers must always he scattered makes it necessary that the farm- • be a worker as well as a manager. The man who works with his men and who treats his men as equals usually gets them to do much more work and at the same time keeps them better contented. Where cheap labor is used, this is not always desirable,
