MANY GIFTS FOREUROPE # CITIZENS OF THIS VICINITY RESPOND GENEROUSLY TO APPEALS FOR HELP IN WAR-RIDDEN COUNTRIES OF EUROPE. I When au appeal was made to the generous people of Cape May and vicinity through the medium of the pulpits and of the achool to make or give Christmas gift* to the fatherless children of the war-ridden countries, they responded in their usaul warm hearted manner. Some one said. "There are no more generous people to be found anywhere than right here in Cape May." And it really must be true, judging by the t»n large cases of warm clothing which were sent off this week as the result the appeal. • hie warm hearted woman gave not only lavishly of Iht worldly goods but • opened her rooms for a community sewing bee. where with the ladies of the — tewn and. the girls of the school she spent many busy, liappv hours, sewing for our cousins serous the seas. Their need has been otir good for it lias brought us into closer touch with one another and has made us for a time have a common interest. If we would continue giving some of our. time in working together for others the recipients would not be the only persons benefitted. This same warm hearted woman would |0adlv give the J use of her sewing rooms -for such a ] 'purpose. There were gifts of warm i clothing of all kinds. Many gave money j and the work of their hands as well. Home who rotild not come and sew. j sewed at borne, others who do not or could not. sew gave generously to buy materials for tjie sewers in use. or to buy warm e«at«. rajm.. sweaters, undergarments and shoes and stockings. The merchants <-T the town without oxsept ion have been especially generous. 1 One of them with her assistants has ! gone over her stock selecting all she could spare, in all about 320 articles. ! the greater number being warm, woolen . coats, dresses, gloves and stockings. From the 8th grade iu the school : came 85 pairs of heavy, winter stockings to fit all ages of children. From another department came five j pairs of stout shoes, and from the school j in general there were clothes and mon- 1 fj given. One dear little lad gave to; his teacher a penny with which he had intended buying candy. A little girl gave a box containing dainty garments, ' ' carefully treasured since her babyhood , days. In all there were about 1100 new articles, a condensed IiSUof which follows: ■ ' 122 pieces of infant's wear, 247 pairs ! 1 cf stockings. 28 sweaters, 89 coats, 20 , ' pairs of trousers, 58 caps and tam-o- j 1 "tanters. 52 pairs gloves and mittens,'. 48 dresses. 43 night gowns. 41 petticoats. Ill" under-garments. 42 boys' shirts. 7 shirts waists. 13 dress skirts, "79 pairs 1 shoes. 113 accessories. These filled six of the cases; four con- j tained clothing which had been worn, ' but -which had been worn, but which was in perfectly good condition. . j ' This speaks eloquently of Cape, May's I generosity. This being the result of ! only four days' work. HOW I SERVE YOU First, I will build you the beat boat ] for ths money. ' •"» , , Second.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF J. ALLAN WALES, ASSESSOR CANDIDATE I f" am seeking reelection to the office J €f "Assessor of this city, and respectfully solicit your support at the polls on Tuesday next. During ray incumbency S of this office J have labored faitbfuliy f- to give the city an impartial assessment, awarding' to every property own- | er hi» due and showing no favors to «•' anybody. This is the only way in i- which fair play to all interests can rule g and it will be my aim, if reelected to continue this policy and to know ueith- '• j er friend nor opponent so far as apy portioning values on taxable-- properties, 1 d is concerned. No property owner has reason for 1 e complaint when he ia assessed his equit- 1 e able share and no more, of the amount t to be raised. * As I have pointed out before, the ' b buuh appropriated for the purposes of ' the city have been increasing annually 1 for several years and this naturally I I raises the tax rate somewhat, but the 1 assessor is not rcsonsible for this. These - increases are shown as follows: 1 e In 1910 the amount appropriated was ; e 8108,822. g In 1911 the amout appropriated was 1 r $116,470. I 8 In 1012 the amount appropriated ,waa <■ 8118.835. e In 1913 the amount appropriated was 1 *13247 0. f Tn 1914 the amount appropriated "was ' - 8133.425. ; | r It will be noticed as a promising sign ' a thai whereas the increase last yesr was e 1 813,435.' this year it is hut $1,155 this 1 'year. n This adv. paid for by J.

STEVENS SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED The Republicans unanimously renomrinated Assemblyman Lewis T. Stevens for re-election, and his record justifies that compliment paid him. While at Trenton last winter he was alive to the interests of Cape May County at ® well as the state a£ large. D Owing to the lack of state finances ® his efforts to have a normal school for Cape May County did not avail, but, aa the Philadelphia Ledger said, he would r- be consulted when it comes time to n build a new normal scliool in South Jern sey. He introduced and had put on the statutes the law extending tlie terms of y the assessor, collector and city treati- urer of Cape May to three years. He 1 t- secured the passage of the bill to in- ' corporate Stone Harbor into a borough. The law to provide for the filling of n vacancies in the United States Senate le from New Jersey, was prepared by mm, and passed by his initiative. He saved the county of Cape May : is several hundred dollars by amending the ' bills to increase salaries, and to provide ' for new and needless officers iu this n 1

county, and in some instances he was able to prevent tlie passage of bills of t j this nature by his practical arguments j. against them. , " By reason of Assemblyman Steven*! ^ * parliamentary knowledge he was one c ^ of the only three Republicans who were permitted by the Democratic speaker to preside over the Assembly when fn session. f The bill by Mr. Steven* revising the j, election laws, was approved by the Jer- { sey City Chamber of Commerce, but tlie r e Democrats did not want a law of this c ii nature to pass without a Democrat's -j e name to it. and they therefore did noth- ( ing to simplify election machinery. His good works in an Assembly with s Democratic majority indicates that he ^ could "lo better work in an Assembly „ r with a Republican majority. R p Republicans claim that Stevens should * '• be re-elected, and the indications are ^ ' that he will be.
