On Sunday Mr. Toebe, of Phila- c delpliia, a very large man and good s swimmer was ayay out when lie was t taken with cramps and but for the quick s aid of Lloyd Seaman, Jr., would have j gone under.

OLDER BUT STRONGER To be healthy at seventy, prepare at forty, is sound advice, because in the strength of middle life we too often forget that neglected colds, or careless treatment of slight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years. To be stronger when older, keep your blood pore and rich and active with tha strength-building and blood - nourishing properties of Scott's Emulsion which ia a food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's. "* aeon & Bownt. Bloocifield, N. J. •

COUNTY TAX BATE INCREASE. The Cape May County Board of Taxation has fixed the 1915 rate for Sea Isle City at $2.38. This is an increase of fourteen cents on tlie hundred over last year's rate. The following is a comparison of the tax rate throughout Caps May County- for 1914 and 1915: , 1914 1915 *1 Avalon $2.63 $2.82 Cape May 2.39 2.486 Cape May Point 2.30 2.364 1 Dennis Township 2.18 1.84 -i Lower Township 1.75 1.74 Middle Township 2.24 1.36 North Wildwood 2.37 2.495 'j Ocean City 2.25 2.50 -i Sea Isle City 2.24 2.38 South Cape May 2.02 1.982 [ Stone Harlnir 2.62 " 1.734 Upper Township 1.87 1.86 West Cape May 1.98 2.02 Wildwood 2.25 2.J2 Wildwood Crest 2.37 2.567 Woodbine 1.85 2.01 It will he seen that with the exception of South Cape May and Stone Harbor the rate for 1915 has been increased in all the seashore resorts, and in all the townships the rate has decreased. The decrease in Stone Harbor is due to the tremendous increase in valuation in the past year. FARM DEMONSTRATION NOTES. _ "FALL PLANTINGS OF FRUIT AND BERRIES." Now is the time to think about about where and how much planting of fruit trees you will do: also from whom you will purchase same. In selecting a site for your orchard avoid wet places • or pockets where either water or frost settles in the spring. Too much shelter is not good since the trees are apt to bloom earlier and be hit by a late frost in the spring. Don't plant out any more than /on can give proper attention ' as a neglected orchard is a fine place for insects and fungus diseases and a poor paying proposition. Another point of vital importance is "Whom shall we purchase from" so as to get A-l stock true to name and at a reasonabla figure? I1**' A few cents more in the beginning is not of much importance but it is certainly disgusting to pay for a certain desired variety and at hearing time discover some other and worthless variety. Poorly grown and diseased trees are expensive as a gift, so strive to get the best that can bd had and they will cost you much ~ less in the end. Anyone contemplating planting fruit, trees or nursery stock tliis fall and desiring to obtain A-l stock can be put in touch with an absolutely A-l Nurseryman, who will give you a square deal by simply dropping a card to the writer and a catalog will be mailed upon request. „ Visit the "One Year" Peaeh Orchard of Capt. Clms. P. Vanaman if in the vicinity of Dias Creek and be convinced as to what A-l 6tock means and the results you can expect if you purchase same. GEORGE B. THRASHER. County Farm Demonstrator.

WISE BOYS. The oily tongued stranger goes after the granger, and sells him a newfangled churn; and we in the city exclaim, "What a pity the farmer no wisdom will learn 1 He surely is easy: no graft is (r too oheesey to spring 011 the tiller of soil ; the agents pursue liiui, homswoggle and do him, and then amble off with the spoil.'- And - we in the city, so learned and. so witty, so wise to all manner of snares, invest in some bubble that's loaded witli trouble, or pur- ~ chase a few Belgian hares. We deal with sonic faker wlie sdls by [the acre a swamp that is hopelessly drowned, or buy with good money a mine that is fnnnv. that's naught but a hole in the. ground. We fall for the charmer — turned down bv tlie farmer — who sella us a punk lot of books; for quick riches questing, we're always investing in pipe dreams and moonshine and spooks. Oh. lumtv-tnm-looral. the rubes who arc rural are smarter than rubes in the town ; the small grafts may get them, and jolt ^ them, and fret them, the jbig ones they always turn down. We shy at the small ones and fall for the tall ones, and blow in our bundles at once ; the farm rube's the sharpest or T'111 not a harpist; the town rube's the champion dunce. ** Walt Mason.
