The farmer In Cape May County ctn grow crops as easily as In other seettona. He gets far better price* for his products than the Delaware fanner, for Instance, and has no commission, freight and pack-

"Farm lands In Cap, May County, particularly in the Inland section, can still be bought for a song. Opportunity Is calling loud for the man who will ulillxe modern methods and work, and forget the lure of greener pastures and easier money at the resorts." With these last assertions v»c don't think there can be any exception taken. Tliere is no section of this broad land which offers greater opportunities to the tiller of the soil than Cape May County. Here is presented to him every requisite for success if he will but use his brains and "plug.” He has mil. climate and markets.

pledges, but when they were contranted with a united, determined body controlling some 100,000 votes, the situation assumed a different aspect and the legislators beat a hasty retreat and the teachers got their pension money. Thp incident shows the women of New Jersey what they can do when united in favor of remedial legislation and better laws. It is a common complaint of the Republican women of the State, especially. that promises made to them are not lived up to. If this is true it is because they are not united in favor of the objects sough' Let them, like the teachers, let it be known that they control an army of 100,000 voters who will make themselves felt at

the ballot-box and they wall get

The only reason that woman sj<Trage has not been productive of the good prophesied is that the women fail to exercise the right l< franchise. The politicians know this, hence their indifference

Stopping The Hooch Flood Phlla. Bulletin: While wets and dry* make the halls of Congress resound with their clamor, and the people of the United States are discussing eagerly the daily reports of straw votes, drunkenness statistics, crime quirtes and enforcement societies. Philadelphia is experiencing a practical eosniple of what Federal regulation can do under the new rules formulated by General Aadrvws. In one month Internal revenue figures show, the release of alcohol for industrial purpose* In 'the Phlladelphal enforcement district hail been cut 1.220.000 gal-

lons.

This reduction is remarkable from the standpoint of ita own bulk alone. Thirty thousand barrel* of alcohol Is quite a young ocean. To cut off mi much of the supply is in Itself an accompllsh- . menu But- when the reduction of 1.220.000 Is compared with the January release of 1.TS0.000 gallons and we realise that the February release was only S30.000 gallons for the district, the cut is almost an achievement. • The fact that It waa possible to effect a straight reduction of seventy per cent. Indicates the fcixe of the Irak through which al- | coho! was straying Into the hands of bootleggers. Puasihly In the procebr. a few honest concern,, using alcohol for proper purpo* s. may have suffered some Inconvenience. But such enterprises, of course, have little difficulty In e&lablishlng and obtaining their ; rights, and experience no permanent deprivation.

Reuben Hoffman, aged twentyeight. shot himself to death, leaving word that he chose to die because he was a failure. He mentioned also the fact that be had "never worked much, for fear of making a slave of himself." If he had been n little more of a slave, he might have been less of a failure. Men need lo reallxe that work Is the only thing worth while. Richard Padgett. sciential, shows an Instrument that talk*. It says "Hello. London, are yoc there?" and "Lila. 1 love you."
