CAPE MAY, N. J.

W. P. Taylor‘s County Fair Ex hiblt which was a prize winner. ‘This has been a daily exhibit in Cape May during the summer,. COUNTY FAIR Continued from last Issue

The exhibit of live stock, poultry, flowers and garden produce came from all parts of the county, proving that this was purely a County Fair, given by interested people of the county. Anyone who was fortunate to attend both the State Fair and this, one, could well say the exhibit of the County Fair closely rivaled the State in the Fruit and Garden Produce, especially in quality and variety, lack» ing only in quantity. The exhibit in the Vocational Tents of household arts and was being accomplished along this line of educational work. | _ The fruit exhibit of the entire fair drew forth words of praise, many | persons said, "I did not know such fine apples could be grown in Cape May." We desire to call your attention to [the interest manifested in the stock display. _Just stop to think that this | | required time and expense to the men | who exhibited. Some of the stock was | brought from communities at least | fifteen miles from the Fair Grounds. The exhibitors did this for county | pride and the spirit of "do your part"‘ Don‘t think for one minute that the | premiums received would pay the expenses. It takes these, plus the satisfaction of doing your share to repay. Then too, it took effort on the part of the solicitor and contributors of prizes the stock. exhibit, to make this part of the fair a success. he following is the report of the Stock Chairman," as to premuims Best pair of colts :# years old, 1st prize; W. P. Taylor, 1 Best 2 year old colt; 1st prize, W.| P. Taylor. Best stallion, 1st prize; W. P. Tay» a Best four year old colt, Ist prize; Henry Schellenger, Best pair of Holsr«in.

New to the boys of the County, Henty Schellenger is a Green Creek boy, who is ‘wide awake, as the above statenjont to prepare these loads. the Vocational Agricultural report. 4th prize corn (B) class should have been Leon Sayre, Fishing Creek. ._. | Ocean City Bank, Special prize for best ten ears of corn, should have been Ellwood Sayre, Fishing Creek. It seems dificult to realize that each of these loads were only one of many of the same variety which has gone from the land of Cape May County, to the famous seashore resorte during the past summer. If the people of Cape May County could only see and grasp their opportunities more fully | in garden and frait produce, Cape May County would advance rapidly. Walter | Taylor socured . Ist prize, Auto Truck display, | Richard Loyd secured 2 nd. prive. It is difficult to find words to ex» press to those who did not see the Auto Truck load of Mr. Taylors, the picture it presented to one‘s mind. This loud contained all the farm produce of the season "with but few xegptions," arranged in order which certainly showed to good advantage, Why not have several truck loads ibited next year?

"At the time of the flight no schooling fish were breaking water upon the surface and none would have been visible from the deck of a vessel. It is pdesible that schooling menhaden might have been observed from the crow‘s nest of a vessel at very short range, and then only by the color of the water above them. _ From the shore and from the ocean pler there were no indications . of . mehaden schools in the vicinity. ‘The water was quite green and rather thick, due to the abundance of plankton. ‘The plane ascended rapidly to about 800 feet, und most of the trip was made at, that altitude, . Few schools of fish were seen at first, but as my eyes grew accustomed to the conditions, many schools of menhaden were obse all moving at the . same depth and none of them breaking water, | Some schools were so near the surface that they appeared as a reddish brown, granular mase, amoeboid in charieter, and changing in form onstant‘y, — Deeper schools had the of sunken . and others were: xo. deep could | be — distinguished hiefly by the shadow they cast on the suspended | particles | in the . water.} From a comparison with other ohects seen at kpown depths, it i imated thit the depth of these wel hools

THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS Years ago in a land beyond the sem, there lived a man who was always searching for the unknown and tryIng to find the reason for his being and the secret of . true bins darsal This unrest made him the most erable of men. He thought by tr/ing to conquer the elements and to evercome the beast of the forest; he would at last find complete contentment, in his ability to master the things that from all appearances were beyond the reach of man. After several years of Lc s PLS S no nearer the goal than when he started. After a time he became so crazed by this all consuming desire to con quer and to find true happiness that he spent his whole time in the tireless searchforthis ficklegod; which weemed to be, always, just beyond his reach, One day, after he had almost given up the great task which he had set for himself. he happened to come to a large dense forest. Wandering through the great silent cathodral formed by the stately trees and covered with the most beautiful car« pet of star mons, he found a wonder ful seat formed by mature, in her fancy. Suddenty the forest was filled with the most exquisite | music; as if an angel choir had started a chant *> .ae Creator of all things. | Looking up he ww the. trees. filled. with beautiful birds. who were siting, not secause they had to but from the pure joy of it iind in extaession of their love for out-doors, im. he. could. see the i wonderful flowers, the frees s= ay ing deere lingo no sims. of ken the great desive to eanguer hut everything spoke of the beautiful, the sublime and echo-

ed back and forth through this un {peopled forest, the great theme of ° love. Suddenly a volee seemed to speak within him.-"Happines« is not to be found in conquering things of earth |nor placing yourself . above your fellow iim, nor in jerdousies. envy or [tate but in doing sood to these around you, lifting up those: who are: wouk nidinye love there-ever you live. The song of the birds, the sighing of the trees, the roar of the ocean, the fall of the cataract, the merry dance of the sunbeams, volee in the lightning and. thunder. looking: into the eyes of the little babe and seeing the pure soul within; these will teach you the truc path to happiners.-Learn, O man that sunshine always follows the storm. ‘The greater the dark places that comes between . you and your goal; the greater the | reward, when you have over-come them.
