'.V. n.1. . Tf " " WILDWOW) BuW the »pk. i oopal diocese of New Jersey hurled | an ethical tirade at the drastic legie- t ■ lation proposed by the rrfoimers since , the successful passage of the' Volstead' , ■ Act, saying in part, "the reformers of • today are like tigers, they have tasted ( ■ blood and dont know when to stop." j Tbe Bishop's fling at drastic re- : formation was made during a sermon ; • delivered while confirming a class of £ ' ten at St. Simeon's P. M church, this g ■ city, last evening. In another part of his sermon the t bishop said, "you cannot legislate re- ' ligion or morals, they must be molded e i in the body and mind during the peri- } - od of maturity" and~"unless you take cAre of the boy and girl today you will \ 'y have a Godless nation tomorrow" > (speaking in the future tense). { After the service when the bishop ! was asked his opinion of the Volstead c ■ act, he replied, "it is" the thirstiest j ' proposition I have ever encountered." Tbe bishop was making his annual , visit to this parish and the confirms- t tion services were held during his j *isit, a reception in the parish house following the church services.

J f j A COUPLE OF TREE STORIES \ ! A ball cypress tree, first recorded ^ | in 1912, was photographed on Sunday 1 by Fletcher Street, a naturalist who [ has been studying unusual trees and ' | plants in this county. It is located ^ ' at South Dennis and has been familiar . tcj%bserving residents of that localI ity for a number of years. It is sup- ' | posed to be the only native tree of the kind in the state. The swamps in and \ ! about Dennisville and South Dennis I have many rare plants and trees. The | story is tol<^ of a tree found there ( ; some years ago which had been .hollowed out by fire or decay and was so I large that a horse could enter it and 1 j turn about in it. A man now living | is authority for the statement that he [' measured it with an eleven foot fence I rail. He placed one end of this against | his chest as he stood up against the j tree, and the other end just reached : , the other side of the hollow of the I I tree.
