MOSQUITO EXTERMINATION e DESPITE WINTRY WEATHER 1 Despite the paradox fully as much i work toward the extermination of mos- ;, qui toes can be done in the winter as in . the summer. "No," said Chief Inspec1 tor Miller,' of the Cape May County a Mosquito Extermination Commission, -, when interviewed, "we dont swat them, r we leave that for the people who oppose j mosquito extermination work. We are ready now to open the Pond Creek 1 Meadow, which has been furnishing moe- - quitoes for Cape'May for ages past, t The contractors have assembled their tools and materials and the work is going ahead just as rapidly as the weather conditions permit. When the new r pipe line is completed and the sluice gate t in operation we expect to see the water _ in this meadow lowered about 18 inches. b The ditching operations at Weeks Land f ing are held np this week by the freezB ing of the marsh, but will be completed ; as soon as the cold wave breaks." "During the stormy days when it is f impossible to work outside we are mak- „ ing up a set of maps to be used in the work of inspection next summer and r completing our records of the work done - so as to facilitate the inspection of the old ditdies and the reporting of breeding by the inspectors next summer. When it is oonsidcred that the marsh r area of the county is 35 miles long it f may easily be seen that this is no small piece of work. However we expect to be ;• ready to attack the work in the spring i with every branch of our organization ,- ready and equipped to work in the most p efficient manner." i f MADISON PETERS LECTURES Dr. Madison Peters, of New York City, delivered a splendid lecture in the j Methodist Episcopal Church here last Thursday evening, taking as his topic | "Masonry." Dr. Peters is a man of ex- ; perience and erudition. He speaks in a j fluent style and exhibits an unt-ommon- | ly broad mental view, rather compro- ' I raising than either radically conservative or extreme. His lecture was a great treat to all who had the opportunity to her him and to observe his subject from his standpoint. AND ASH3URN HAVE LARGE STOCK OF JEWELRY C c. AshVm r.nj R. A.
