The fire started in the Generato Room from a leaky oil pipe and watchman cleaning the fires did not notice the oil on the floor which ignited from bot conls and quickly spread. | The alarm was turned in and by the quick response of the fire department th fire was under control in a very few minutes without any outside help. The Gas Tanks (the nearest one to th building about 100 feet) were not i danger at any time. | The supply of gas was not shut off the city and by a few repairs the plant was in oper ation by 9 A. M..

PC ECS emmm _ The Annual meeting held: last Suturday by the County: Board of Agrieral of those in attendance, a "eorke To begin with the type of speakers were such as to attract a lunge following anywhere in — this state, und the corn and potato show was responsible for new life in the meeting. | The old | type of meeting is dead, where a fow {farmers gathered. to be. "talked. at" by a few fluent speakeix who know no mor eabout agriculture than a coal miner does about reducing the coxt of living. | The progressive farmers of this county have buried such meetings for all time. Dr, J. G. Lipman, Dr. T. J. Headlice, Mr. A. E. Young and Mr. Fred Gardner were masters in their respective | tines und those who were so unfortunate as to miss their talks lost information which | might have proved very valuable to them. Under the leadership of Mr. S. D. Einstein and R. E. Reeves the Voca tional School offered great help in making the corn and potato show a great success, and many of the prizes were won by their students. During the business section of the meeting a motion was carried to ask the State Depertment of Animal Industry for more State aid in control- [ ling hog cholera and swine plague in this county. . Many hogs have died car and the loss is not mere« ily a loss to the farmers but an economic loss to the whole county. | This will necessitate an apporl to the State Legislature for more funds for the Bureau of Animal Industry. At present there is no appropriation set apart for the controll of hog desenses Dr. J, H. McNeil, Chief of the Bureau has in the past released one of his veterinarians for our hog cholera work only when he could be spared from his regular work in other lines. Sometimes under the present arrangement, before a state veterinarian can come to Cape May County for hog cholera work the hogs are dead and buried. Last summer it was five weeks after the State Department was notified before a man was able to get on the field. This can not be held against the State Department when the legislature does not provide ways and moans for the control of hog cholera. The results of the election will place the following officers on duty in the County Board of Agriculture for 1920: Joseph Camp, President; | Wm. S. Thompson, Vice President; E. 0. Howell, Treasurer; . and Thos. J. Durell, Secretary. The delegates elected were as follows; for State" Horticultureal Society, Atlantic City, E. O. Howell of Swainton, D. C. Tudor of Mayville, for State Board of Agriculture, Trenton, Thos, J. Durell, Belleplain and J. Reid Chambers of| Eldora. It was also decided by vote that the Cape May County Board of Agriculture join the New Jersey Council of the County Boards of Agriculture | with annual dues of $25.00.
