Then, why. in the name of all die blood extracted. , from Cape May County by that insea, don't we erteiminatf it ? Let's find out, if we don't already know, just what inert be done to rid the finest resort county in the country of itt worst enemy. If diggini’ ditches will do the trick, and we're told by authorities that it will, y.hv not dig 'em ? Not a few feet in a few years, but al! cf the iterete ry million as last as they can be dug. If our manor) serves us correctly there b a County Mosquito CoirmiMon appointed to see that the pesky insect is driven from the counts- and kept out. Why haven’t they? Or can't they* * If mosquitoes can be exterminated they liould be, just as soon as possible, regardless ol cost. It seems to us, if the Panama Canal could be detmed up as it was. the task of wiping out mosquitoes in Cape May C -my should be accomplished without too much difficn. "• and too much cost. Let's

The second Friday in April of each year is designated by an act of I>rgislature as Arbor Day in New Jersey. It is observed annually throughout the United States at different times, depending upon dtmatir conditions in various sections. It» purpose is to remind us of our dependence! upon tree', arufr! urge trt in' replay ’fiioae wh'dr. have hern ci' down. f ' ■ - j ■ Trees are an aid to beauty as well as being * praaicallv useful in a thousand ways. Thev, well as flowers, must be taken into consideration

■ Norway spruce, red pine and cedar are amor •he trees that mieht be used to make the county ipo'r beautiful. They, however, cannot lie planted In a haphazard manner if most attractive results

$re,-o be obtained.

! Cape Mas- County needs a Shade Tree Compiwion. Such a body could develop and carry Out a tree planting plan. It could also be of must ante- to tlir Countv Chamber of Commctpe •ommiti'T now working to beautify the county highway-, it could encourage tree planting among fiose who live along those highways and give $*■>" practical assistance. Tlte Shade Tree Comflissi ai of Slone Harbor each war plants, without charge, any trees that property owners in the motr desire, h j a kcs care of ordering trees for
