I York fishing smacks for fishing within the three mile limit over which the State has jurisdiction. The total in1 come to the State from this source last year^was $2975 and .it is too small an amount to make it worth the while of the State to turn loose upon our ; coasts these destructive fish pirates to the great injury of all the resorts. On . the other hand the State should main- , tain a patrol for the protection of the 1 coast from these marauders. T. H. Taylor is the Cape May Agent for Waldorf shoes for men and women, $2.50.

"No, I i * suppose not," said the conductor, "he « doesn't look five years old." About J this time the "kid" sat up and indig- i 8 nantly shouted, "Five years old, only l ' five years old. Who says I'm only ; five years old? Why I was 'seven last, j II birthday-" The conductor was so , ' surprised that he forgot to collect the i 1 fare. t ' (•(•(• 2 The New Jersey Children's Home ( " Society has organized a Cape May Local | * Board, consisting of Mrs. George Og- j ■ den.

About one hundred and ten , F dollars has been contrbuted to the , ' .cause by Cape May people. e «• <• » There are some people who believe i that ultimately there will be a canal 1 i across the country from Delaware Bay j to the Sounds and as this is right in 1 - line with the national movement for ' 3 the development of safe waterways ' and also with the State's policy, it is 1 v not unlikely that it may occur. ft ft ft 1 OapL Chas. Campbell, of Somen 1 I Point, has built a large and roomy ' , motor boat, on the "Garvey" style 1 1 equipped with a 12-horse power engine. 4 a He has fitted it up as near to every 1 r comfort as be can, and on account of t its being square, be has nearly house ( f accommodations. He left Somer's 1 r Point Saturday, November 21 at, for 1 e Florida, for the winter. He will; go 1 B through the Chesapeake and Delaware a Canal, then dowp the Chesapeake Bay I to Bouge Sounds, from there out of 1 Bouge Inlet to Dismal Swamp. The ' rest of his voyage will be confined en- c a tirely to the ocean. Be returns to 1 - Somer's Point in the spring.

It j | could be made a canal on the order of (be Ottens Canal at Wild wood and a * | fine boating and fishing stream. Cot- : j tage sites and boat house sites could be _ ! developed along its whole length. i " « • « j It is coming to be the belief of t j naturalists who hare examined into ^ j the matter that there is an element of ^ periodicity in the appearance and disI appearance of fish, birds and some ] " i animals in diffetent localities. Fish < are apt to disappear from waters j 5 ' which are too vigorously fished and | g seek safer localities, to reappear when ; 0 the danger is reduced. There seems , p to be some evidence of a {disposition j a of this kind, to be found here. The j e gluttonous sweeping of our waters . by the marauding menhaden steamers t caused several varieties of fish to Q vanish, but the cessation of the depre1 dations for a couple of years has , B caused a great increase in the number t e and variety of fish. Schools of men- f n haden were seen last summer along the ( coast and within the harbor. An oce casional sheepshead was caught, blue * fish were found, large shrimp and lob- ' stars were caught both in the bayside t t and seaside pounds. Then go farther i — r i Continued on 5th Page c

Robert Sewell and WilJoyce Sewell, Jr., children of the Major General WM. J. Sewell, are te present to the State of New Jersey a portait in oil of their diatingujabed father, who was for many United States Senator from New Jersey. Senator Hand said the other day that "Joe springer is going around telling people tnat Stone Harbor and Cape niay Court House are about one thousand miles nearer Paradise and the Gulf than any other places on the coast." The Stone - Harbor people can not show a more effective argument for the road to the Court House than tbe changing of the sky line by sending new buildings over there. These mean permanent increase in values and something which the assessor notes down in his little book.
