THE ANNUAL ' COUNTY FAIR! \ The County Fair grounds at the * county seat were the scene of the an- t nual county fair on Friday and Sat- g urday of last week and Friday was | g given over largely to making the ex- j hibits ready for the great day which I , is always Saturday. There was j horse racing however on Friday, and j t various demonstrations, while on Friday evening there was the novelty f of electrically illuminated grounds , and a motion picture show of pictures g relating to agricultural activities sup- t plied by government and other , sources. A noticeable Saturday i feature was the extraordinary num- a ber of automobiles parked within the y grounds and Also along the roads ^ for perhaps a half mile outside j They continued to arrive until close ^ to four o'clock Saturday afternoon until there was very little unoccupied space within the grounds outside of i> the fenced area within which is en- tl closed the racing track. There was s comparatively little travel by rail and v the almost universal supremacy p of the automobile as the w means adopted by the people for p traveling purposes was illustrated as v

before on a county occasion. All records were broken. A central feature, of course, was the agricultural exhibits of fruit and j vegetables. One large tent was devoted to the samples of the products of farmeis under the auspices of the| granges ltd other organizations and • the exhilits here included almost every variety of agricultural products I all of which were remarkably fine. J Another tent was occupied by the exhibits of Samples of products raised by the students of the county voca- ) tional and public schools, under the direction and instruction of the teachof agriculture in the county vocational schools, Jw ll. Reeves and S. fc» who hav; acq tired great repu-. tations for skill in their chosen occupation. ! This tent was a.center of attraction all day during b6th Friday and Sat- ) urday and it * display was a. truly j remarkable One, including samples of ' grains, grasses, vegetable.-;, and fruits raised by students. It was the largest and most comprehensive exhibit ever displayed of 1 products raised under school au- , spices. There were apples fully developed ahd unblemished, as fine peaches as were ever grown any-, where, plums, pears, potatoes, sweet potatoes, com of which there wss a wonderful display, pumpkins, water-

L melons, canteloupre, and a vhHW£%f* grasses and grains used for cover 3 crops. a 1 1 There were also several coujA of - chickens. The students exhibiting s were also participating in the annual e 1 public and vocational schools contests 3 and valuable prizes were earned and t distributed. The display was con- ■ vincing evidence of the efficiency and success of the efforts of the vocational c and public schools to arouse an inter3 est in agriculture in the rural sections - and there were many expressions of e surprise at the fine character of the - exhibits and the large .quantity. So - far Cape May County holds the re- > cord for success in this line. The • agricultural teachers have given spe- • cial attention to fruit culture for two or three years and taught spraying 1 and other means of controlling the - pests which afflict farmers and of ' securing maximum harvests. A num- ' ber of orchards which have been left , : to their own devices for years have . | been resusciated and made profitable . . 1 and some thousands of trees have r been planted as a result of these ef- i . forts. It has been proven conclu- . sively that Cape May County may , become one of the greatest fruit pro- i . ducing counties in the country whenl ' ever proper effort is put forth, i The annual cooking and sewing ex- ■ hibits of the vocational and public

tures of the county fair, was not in1 .. evidence this year because it was found to be impossible to arrange,! j the dates for the fair have been made so early that the schools were barely ® opened. There was also a large per rentage of teachers new to our system ' both in the city and smaller sdu&ls. The larger systems in which jewing and cooking is taught by Special teachers, Ocdan City, Wildw^od and 2 Cape May, each had new teachers in these departments this 'year. For 2 several years the fair has been held 3 in October and thus permitted tune for preparation for the sewing and 2 cooking features. s Other interests represented at the j fair included the W. T. C. U., in » which a number of women distributed f literature and gave instruction de- . signed to inform the women voters on t the political issues of the 'day; the ; Modern Health Crusade of the State, .'represented by Miss Eclna Ruddick, . Sfalch gave a large exhibit illustrat- . , ing the ravages of tuberculosis and . the preventatives; the healthy baby . cxryement under the auspices of the . ! County Council of Parents and Teach- . I ers Associations, in which babies were | weighed, and measured and classed . according to the accepted standards. : Tractor machines and other agri-

Members of the State Road Com1 mission yere entertained on Satur3 day by th^ County Board of Free3 holders and candidates and politicians r interested in the coining primaries 3 were busy greeting the people and B getting a line upon their predilections 3 on Saturday afternoon. The horse racing is said to have e been much better than for several a years.

BACHARACH IN CONGRESS

.From Newark Call, Newark, N. J. by Will p. Kennedy Washington, D. C., May 8— Representative Bacharach, serving his third term in Congress from the Second Congressional District, sends out am on v his colleagues as a man of unusual ability and one to whom they turn naturally as a leader. "Bacharach is going to make a name for himself in Congress," all of the recognized Hquse leaders have said to the writer. Representative Bacharach has good business judgement, is a quir/ thinker, is ready to debate, has plenty of self-determina-tion, has a good presence and pleasing personality, and is an all around good, fellow, for whom his colleagues are -«hger to do anything they can consistent with their duty as legislators L One of the most noticeable and pleasing things about Representative - Bacharach is that he; is not self-satis-fied. He is one of the most popular men in all Congress, and is recognized as a guiding spirit among the group of younger Congressman who are attracting favorable attention and a very decided political following. Coming from a district in which is located the largest glass-blowing industry in this country, which has .one of the largest iron works in the East, and one of the biggest hosiery manufacturing industries, which contains "America's' Greatest Playground", the largest farming district in NewJersey, and in which reside many of Philadelphia's leading manufacturers, Representative Bacharach is serving such a .versatile constituency has jf abundant opportunity to attract at- ' tention to his work. But this entails also a whole lot of hard work at the CapityL and demands versatility and broad business talent on the part of the representative in Congress. Viewed impartially from the Washington end. Representative Bacharach has fulfilled his - trust very creditably. On Ways and Means Committee Having such large business interests, especially manufacturing, in his district, Representative Bacharach sought membership on the Ways and Means Committee, feeling that there he could be of the largest service to those business interests. TTie Ways and Means Committee is the most important in all Congress. It has to do with framing all legislation which has to do with raising revenues., producing enough money for Uncle Sain to pay his bills and safeguard against the proverbial rainy day, and to anticipate with legislation any threatening financial panic or disturbance of business. So important are duties on the Ways and Means Committee that each mentoer is excused from service on any other committee and they devote their whole time to revenue problems. Mr. Bacharach is the first Republican from New Jersey to be a mmber of this committee since 1888, when Stratton was on it. He has been a very active member. The first tariff bill reported by the Republican Congress was Bacharach's bill for protection of the chemical glass and scientific instrument manufacturing industries. Three industries have formerly belonged to Germany and were Americanised dunng the war. Service bonus legislation has been cae of ' the paramount problems engrossing the attention of Congress during this session. Entangled with It has been what leaders are now coming to call "political profiteering." Representative Bacharach has boon oae of the meat ertiv members cf the Ways and Meaas CemmitIta* ia eadreroriag to find the merer solutiea ef this problem.

From NEWARK CALL, (Continued) For Soldiers' Bonus Three of the features most persistently discussed with relation to the proposed beneficial legislation for former service men were first suggested by Mr. Bacharach — first proposal to give every man who went forward under the flag a* 20-year endowment policy, the premium to be paid by the United States government, and $500 in cash to every man j who was disabled; second, the sales tax, and' third the tax of stock exchange sales as a good way to raise revenue. In spite, of the bitter fight in the House and in the Republican caucus agains the proposed sales tax, Representative Bacharach is unshakenly for it, and believes he will yet have reason lobe proud of his determination. He has just received considerable encouragement for the endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Rqm-esontative Bacharach feels convinced that the ' sales tax is the only logical one for the country if in any way at all the high cost of living is going tobe reduced. His objection to the sur-tax and the excess profits tax, which is now being discussed amid much applause in the House, it that every one all down the . line adds on more than enough to carry the load,' while with the sales tax, the final sales tax is the only one paid and" no one can have 1 any excuse for making the consumer pay more. He' says that busine>s men generally recognize that is is the consumer who must pay any tax that may be levied. While he is a high tari*", man. Representative Bacharach has insistently nreached tr his colleagues on the Ways ami Means Committee that now is no time to tinker with any general re- . vision of the tariff. No time or studythat the committee could give to this problem, he has told his colleagues, could reach any worth while conclusions until the countries on the other '"side of the Atlantic Ocean are stabilized" anii know where they stand. ' Any workable tariff' must be based, he says, on the difference in cost of production in this country and in foreign countries, and it is possible, in these abnormal times, to get any figures on cost of production that would not be out of date before the bill could be enacted. Entirely aside from his legislative duties, but working as a good influence through the House is a role into which his kindliness of feeling and genial good-fellowship has drawn Representative Bacharach. He has come to be "the conciliator." He is a prime, good fighter himself on occasions and will stubbornly fight friend or political enemy on principle when forced to do so-^but with growing frequency Representative Bacharach has appeared as peacemaker. A erticular instance of this was when presentative Nicholas Longwoj-th of Ohio, fathering the dye bill, and former Representative J. Hampton Moore, now mayor of Philadelphia, both members of the Ways and Means Committee, got into a contest first over the House Organization and then over the dye bilL They were virtually at swords' points in the Ways and Means Committee. Rep res entative Bacharach as personal and intimate friend of both had a very diplomatic job in assuming to act as the one and only member of a board of mediation and conciliation. Speaker Gillett and former Speaker* Canaan and Clark have all spoken highly of the value of Representative Bacharach s services ia the House. -They all agree that he ie giving a "busiest! administration far Wneas men."
