Take old Jake Kite fer Instance. He mu* an old sport himself fer didn’t he loae two dollars at a horse race once an he # fat now. Mom sed it don’t mean the kind of sports yu used to no. thet played cards fer money an looked at wicked burlesque shows an borrowed each others patent leather shoes. It nn to take an interest In strent came# like baseball an croque: an

On Monday Justice J.

This town Is the distrUotlng center for feed In Cape May County. In addition tr ’*■* carious other commodities prof In the town. Levin and Eisenberg received more than customary consideration. As a result of their efforts the 4:15 express fr«n Philadelphia will slop at Mt. Pleasant. It is expected if the traffic warrants It eventually Mt. Pleasant will be an express stop. The Pennsylvania Railroad officials make no mistake in co-operating with this hustling

town.

TFSS JOY RIDES IN PUBLIC CARS

In the opinion of the New Brunswick Home Hewv “recent incidents

t there ms.

owned cam. and it would seem that their use on Sundays might very weC be avoided, insofar as possible.'' Labeling State, county and muniripalcwned at .mobiles is no protection against joy riding—weekdajx. nights or Sundays. There are various tricks that can be practiced that will seriously interfere with it if not prevent, identification. They are being used every

day and night

Possibly if the law should require that all public-owned cars shall be painted in bright red color the joy riden would be shamed out of using them for pleasure purposes. In addition, all such can should cany signs that would plainly indicate that they are intended for afficial use of the State, county or municipal officials. No honest officer or employee will object to riding in such a car. any more than a fireman objects to riding on

a brightly-painted engine, truck or hose wagon.

A BUSY JAIL JUST NOW

The County Jail now is a busy place. Usually the fart that the jail is kept working is not considered a very good advertisement for any community or county, but in the case of Cape Kay County it is certainly a sign 1 of the rapid growth of the County. Undesirable persons are bound to creep into any community, and especially into a resort county. and with the vigilance of the police of the resorts of the county these are usually rounded up before much damage is done, and then the Sheriff gets toe* extra work. Tew of us realize h»w rapidly Cape Ma: County is growing. Tbe lait census gave the population as 19.480. while today, at a conserratiTe estimate. there are 30.000 people permanently residing here. It is small wondri then, that the jail is housing more boarders now than ever before In ’.art it 11 rather an ea.enraging sign, from most any,

viewpoint'

POST OFnCES OUT OF POLITICS Postmaster General Works has recommended to President Harding that selection of postmasters should no longer be considered a political perquisite of Senators and P-epresentatives. but should be vested in the Poctoffice Department “The Postoffice Department is a str.ct!y business organization." saidi Mr. Work, "and it ought to be aided :n putting the right man in the right I place, as any private business concern would endeavor to do for its own advancement, and not be handicapped either by political considerations or by the restrictions entailed in the present plan requiring examination by! the Civil Service Commission, whi.h does not even give civil service status."' At the same time the Postmaster General, who retired from his present position this week to become Secretary of the Interior recommended that present regulations requiring exammation of candidates for postirister by civil service examination also be abandoned. SEEING AS how the rural mad carrier has little or nothing to do. the Postoffice Department bas issued an order that he load up his delivery wagon with grains and distribute them along his route during the winter for the benefit of starring birds Of course. a well-paid game warden might do this little trick but what is the use of a game warden leaving the blazing logs in the cold of winter as long as the mail tamer will distribute food for the birds and fishes f Who knows but that some day the warden will reciprocate by going out and helping the tamer deliver his mail.

A MAN named Daniel Singer was thrown from a Lackawanna train at Boonton and had all the toes of one loot • ut off and one toe of the other foot. He didn't hesitate * minute but sued ’.i;» company for 3100.000 The federal court at Trenton turned down the 3100 000 request and gave him nothing. Too much, anyway, for a few toes Why. in Bergen County a beautiful woman lost a beautiful leg and all she mked for in court was 315.000. Certainly you can t compare an ugly man » cooked toes with a beautiful woman's perfect leg
