Not that it _is com- t r pleted but because of the unwilling- r ness -of contractor Eisenlberg to have ! [ people bothered from lack of it for * ' even a day after it is traversable.

And, in turn, Mr. Eisenberg appreci- 1 atei the sympathies expressed in the ' 1 unforseen hindrances causing delay > 1 and for which he was in no wise to 1 , blame. i. , I e The Main Shore Road has two yen- ■ dues advertised; that of Leonard 1 Abrams near the Terminal tracks, on ' Saturday, postponed from Tuesday bey cause of the storm; and that of Clar- '■ ence Turner, across from the fair 1 ground for next Monday.

SOME cin ) SPARKLERS WORTH MENTIONING IN ALL PAfcTS OF THE COUNTRY ' AND IN OUR OWN CITY The President of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has issued a bulletin to employees asking them to get all the passenger travel they can for the Baltimore and Ohio roads. This is the outcome of the government control of railroads, an^ the over reaching greediness of the railroad brotherhoods, in demanding the highest wages paid in the history' of railroads in this or any other country on the globe. The fares the public are required to pay between Cape May and Philadelphia are beyond reason, and are almost prohibitive. People who would to Philadelphia and even to New •York, perhaps once a month, to shop or attend theatres, are now compelled stay at home. This, of course, helps the local merchants, but the department stores of the large cities are I the losers by a big margin. If the] railroads want travel they surely will to put the rates down , The railroads are laying off men in every j department, and when the passenger, trains won't pay because of lack of travel, the Brotherhoods of Railroad Engineers, Brakemen, Telegraphers, and Station Agents,-, will have to accept lower wages or, huilOether positions. ^Idchanic street, adding to the social UfJ of the community.

1 V __ YOUR HOME BEAUTIFUL: P f s

Were life one continuance of peace..and success ^ ■s our homes would not be so vitally important. But life is ' not all peace. It is a perpetual contest made up in equal - parts of success and failure. ' Some days are filled with j I disappointment and discouragement, and on such days we » ; must have some place in which to forget our failures and » ; restore our courage and determination. In their homes t men rest from their work, but ten times more important > is their rest from worry. As for women, they live the f C major portion of their lives in their home.s. Therefore it , \ is not enough that your home be comfortable to the body e 5 and convenient for work. It should be soothing to your ^ mind, satisfying to your taste, and productive of contentC ment which someone has said is the greatest word in the t 3 English language. And these desirable conditions are , C brought about largely thru wise selectiop of materials sup- 1 \ plied by a company rich in experience in home planning ( and building. The service of our company to those who | want to "Own Their Homes" has no parallel in Cape May County. May we serve you.

BIG BENEFIT F0R1LEGI0N HARRY SNYDER POST TO HAVE BENEFIT THANKSGIVING DAY AT THE LIBERTY THEATRECOME OUT AND HELP Arrangements have been made to an exceptionally talented entertainment on Thanksgiving afternoon and evening at the Liberty Theatre for the benefit of the Harry Snyder No. 188,, of the American Legion. Three acts of the highest class vaudeville have been booked to appear together with a feature moving picture starring Bryant Washburn ia "Full House", one of his best attractinos. As a special feature of the evening's program efforts will be made to have the Victory Medals, issued by the National government, presented to the World War Veterans by the may- ; or of Cape May. Jt is somewhat i doubtful at this time if the medals can : be obtained in time for this ceremony, but a committee has been appointed to hurry things along in that directipn. The proceeds of the performances will be for the benefit of the local i Post. The American Legion boys are ; striving to secure permanent head- > quarters for Jheir meetings and social ■ functions as well as to purchase a : stand of colors for ceremonious oc- ' casions. If the Victory Medals arrive in time all ex-service men will be requested to be present at the evening's performance in uniform, if possible to ' have the medals presented to them. , Local orators will deliver patriotic addresses. Every one in Cape May should support thi American Legion in an affair of rtiiB nature. It is for the good of the town if the Legion prospers, if a young men's social club can be established where the young man and comembers of the young boys can meet and play games in clean environment. It promotes civic pride and hold the young men in the community. After that big Turkey Dinner on , Thanksgiving Day make a Legion member thankful by buying a ticket^ from him for the matinee oj evening show at the Liberty Theatre. There is no better way to spend the holiday than listening to some good witty jokes and catchy songs as interp rotated by the artists that will perform on the occasion. Come early for there is going to be a crowd. ' PETITIONS IN"CIRCULATION
