YIELD HIGHEST IN HISTORY Tonnage and Total Vatae ef Beth Show Increase N The value of sand and gravel pro- g dueed in New Jersey during 1919 ex- t] ceeded that of any other year. The j quantity production also was greater w than during the proceeding year, but p been exceeded in the past, when j: prices were lower. Last year 3,710,226 ^ short tons of both materials sold for . & tfhile the preceding year d 3,679,862 short tons brought 32,462,864. E Sand was the principle product, be- j ing 2,794,627 short ttms, valued at q 32,018,222. This total includes sand „ for building, moulding, glass making, t cutting, and grinding, paving and road a making, and other use* The previous q year 2,699,116 short tons of sand were ( sold for $1,969,144. £ Building sand was the principal pro- t duct, 1,640,704 «hort tons being sold, , at a total of $763,896. This, how- j ever, brought the lowest price of all -j varieties, selling at the average price , of 47 cents per short ton. Glass sand ( sold for the highest price, averaging t $1.86 per short ton; 121,799 short tons « at the latter were sold for $225/186. , Gravel increased from 880,746 short - tons in 1918 to 915,599 short tons, and ] ni value from $498,720 to $568,050. ; The average price per short ton was' , 61 cents. , These figures are taken from a ( statement issued today by the Division of Geology and Waters, Depart- ; mart of Conservation and Develop- . ment, based on figures worked out in conjunction with the United States Geological Survey. The Cape May Sand Company has the reputation of selling the highest grade of blasting sand in the country. HALLOWE'EN ABUSES There seems to be a tendency on the 1 part of some boys to run wild on Hallowe'en and to do serious damage in various ways. A West Cape May boy . whose name could be given, distingu- . ished himself /his year by working a i considerable time at a securely anchored urn and base on a cottage lawn ' in order to overturn it and destroy it. j The cost to the owner to replace it . would reach the trifling sum of at [ least $50.00.

Yes, he should be apprehended and punished according to law, in the in- ~ of law and order. He knew ^ better and his conduct was entirely ^ inexcusable but there's the family. It ? would have to stlfitr, though innocent smart boys never think of anything like that, Apparently.

Henry H. vice-president The Society has given away over ten thousand Bibles in the history of the organization. The Rev. Dr. Hillman, of the First E. church, Cape May, will preach the. annual sermon. 1 * * ■ «. AK A RIGHT AND A PRIVILEGE TOO . Every little bit some smart and . over-wise guy arises to say "The ballot is not a right f It is a privilege." Who was ever empowered to grant this alleged "privilege." In America it has been and is an inherent right 5 of every male citizen born in this country, and from this time forth it 1 will be also, inherent right of all the • people born in this country without regard to sex. To a foreign im1 migrant, it becomes a "privilege" because he is foreign and because it be1 comes necessary to obtain pledges " from him that he desires adoption as 1 a citizen of this country and will ful1 fill his obligation to it, if granted , citizenship.
