Gard- . ner, Civil War veteran, died at his ^ home, Indian Mills, Burlington county, N. J., Monday. He was seventy- ' five. , His wife, his son, Thomas, and his ( daughter, Josephine, were at the bedside when death came.

The veterarv Congressman was , stricken last Thursday. . Funeral arrangements have not been made. Besides twenty years' continuous eervice in the House of Representatives at Washington, Mr. Gardner"had the distinction of being the only" New , Jersey State Senator since 1845v^to serve five continuous terms. He representee! the Second Congressional district in the State Senate and •t Washington. Not until after his ' retirement from Congress in 1913 did he establish his residence at Indian Mills.. Mr. Gardner began life as a clam digger. Engineers' credited him with knowing more about tides, currents , and sand shifts than any other rcsiV dent of New Jersey. It was he wl)0 warned his colleagues not to build a

Jetty on Absecon Island, Atlantic €itj^ as such a change would cause the cur- 1 f rent to destroy the inland's beach. j , Born in Egg Harbor City in 1845, t the son of a small farmer and clam c digger, he-remained at his parents' s home until 1861." Well grown for his , years, he enlisted in the Union Army ( and gerved until 1865, winning dis- ) Unction. j In 1868 he began the. work which ] occupied a major part of his remain- , ing years — the improvement of At- j lantic City. In 1868 he was elected , Mayor of the then little place. He , remained in office until 1875, at . which time the town had begun to grow into a pretentious summer reaort. Retiring as Mayor, he entered the real estate business and was interested in the development of Absecon Is- ' land.

In 1913 he retired to his country place, where he has lived since. They started in yesterday to run al lthe crooks out of New York. That . will -probably he a lonesome town in a few days.

THE STORY OF A BOOKLET SOME REAL ADVERTISING ' WHICH HAS BENEFITTED CITY AND COUNTY — CIRCULATED 1 OV ER WIDE TERRITORY. Last year there was published a j ] booklet descriptive of Cape May j County, which was perhaps the best bit of advertising ever put— forth, both for this city and each individual resort in the county, but for the county at large. The county itself and each resort within it has been for years investing large sums of money ' for the sake of rendering the county and the various resorts attractive and ' desirable, but there has been a listlesspess about informing the. outside ■ ' world of our advantages, which is appalling from the standpoint of any wide-awake business man. There has been a perfunctory expenditure of ' in many instances by each re- , , sort, often by men whose sole object was to secure the commission for placing the business and there has been in many resorts,- a' repetition each year of the placing of this business with a few rtviladelphia newspapers, perhaps with one each in Baltimore, Washington and New York, .- and the .efforts is done. Very little | if any attempt to follow up, or to seek results. In this city little booklets descriptive of the resort, having been ' printed from time to time and carefully boxed and stowed away in a loft ' and it took all the king's horses and ' all the king's men to get them out for [ circulation. I nc red able but true. The booklet to which we" have re- - ferred was not only printed but cir-culat-d to the best advantage, a fact ' which- does not seem to%have penetrated the understanding of the Rip Van Winkles who are sfcil} sleepfhg out their years. This booklet was used last summer at the Ocftan City State Summer School as a text book in the study of the community and county. It was taken up for this purpose not at the solicitation of the publishers, but upon its merits; without the knowledge of the publishers. , Its circulation was achieved in divers other ways, each 6f the advertise ers aiding and a considerable sum was paid to the "Ask Mr. Foster Travel Information Service" by the publishers lo secure -their ad in" effective distribution. This service ■ wa^ to have been given in the various agencies of the Service from New York to Florida and Atlantic City to St. Louis, and a number of copies were immediately sent when the contract was signed to such agencies as were designated as coming within .the contract, the understanding being that as requests 1 were made from each of these agen- ■ cies for additional copies they would be promptly and abundantly supplied. 1 Some thousands of copies were disposed of in this way. Also, not only I did requests for additional copies come r from the offices designated in the 1 contract, but also from others in otljer sections of the country and these ■ werd promptly and gladly supplied. I The last request for copies is from 5 the St Louis agency of the Service 1 and it- is dated February 1st, 1921. It i, received immediate attention and the booklets were forwarded at once. 1 What does this indicate? Merely 1 that these booklets are doing their ' -Work and doing it well and are not / forgotten with the close of the season 4 for which they were "primarily pub1 lished. nsneu.

I Most people at home have seen this [booklet but for the benefit of those who have not, we will say that it is size of a small quarto of about hundred pages, containing descriptive articles and illustrations of each of the resorts in the county and of the county itself. It is printed, and designed in the most finand artistic style and has been praised by printers' journals as one of the most up-to-date pieces of work issued during the year. The description of the advantages of Gape May as a resort is the best ever written of it in all of its long histmy and is presented with such l*evJM^ind point that it conveys its meaning at once. This is the sort of advertising that the county and each of its resorts j jieeds in abundanA and this city in particular is losing headway and patronage every year by failing to supply for wide circulation, such literature in as great variety as possi- ; ble. Why is it not done? If thqse who control, these matters fear that 1 the local printers may profit by such 1 contracts, do not on this account hesi- ' tato-to get the work dpne elsewhere. ' Then provide for its circulation. The 1 advertising money would be better spent in the employment of an efficient agent to handle the matter of sei earing publicity and new business, : tli^n to use any sum of money in the i old perfunctory" manner more for the sake of providing a dole of a few hun-

ite sen than in provktreg advertising | for the iwt Referring again to the "Aak Mr. Foster" service perhaps it vriB be well to explain that it has between ; thirty and forty offices located in as i cities ■and covering the most important sections of the country, 1 j from California to New England, and 1 | from Havana to Minneapolis and 1 j Portland, Oregon. I 4 — r 1 BUSINESS TONIC | ~ 1 The invention of the printing press , rendered a service to mankind of in- ( calculable benefit It assisted in ushering in the dawn of.an era of unpre- , cedented progress and enlightenment | which transcends -any other in the an- j n.-Js of the human, race. ^We can j trace the spread of. religions ahd po- j litical freedom to the cijude device | , with which the Bible was first print- , ■ ed from movable type. From this hum- ] ble beginning the' art of printing hps ■ developed to its present state of , ! excellence, and the history of this de- , , velopment is an echo of the rapid progress of the world since the fif- ( teenth century- By means of the , printed page, knowledge ceased to be the exclusive possession of the few— J it became the right of the many. The , ' choicest thoughts of the wise webe ( made accessible to all who had the , , desire to learn. The fetters of illit- ! eracy, which so long held progress in . check, were rent asunder by the pow- . er of the -printed page. Printing ( I caused the universality of supersti- . 1 tion; which held the masses of man- j kind in thralldom, to fade away like . a mist before the noonday sun. ~ * Education, the axis upon which the ' civilized world revolves, would be well -nigh impossible without the , wholesale dissemination of books, ! , made possible by printing.. It would W idle to recount at ler.f tb the innumerable . benefits . which find their source in the print- , er's irt. Suffice it, to say, that what . measure of culture we have and what , progress we have made, are due in no . small measure to printer's ink, which ' changes a. blank shefet of paper into the repository of the intellectual gems of the ages. Coming down from the coluds: Are , you employing printer's ink to furI ther your business? There is no better way of spreading broadcast the story of the wares you have for sale , or the service you are prepared to , render, than by the use of printed _ matter. The sales message in pamphI let form reaches the man who feels r he is too busy to see your salesman. ( Your advertisement- in newspapers . and magazines f drees itself upon the gaze of the buyer, and by the power s of repetition, impresses your name forcibly upon his memory, j If your business needs a tonic — try printer's ink in liberal doeses; in other words — Advertise'. j AMONG THE HEIGHTS : — [ He — "Yesj-I certainly like good 5 food, and always look forward to the next meal." 1 She — "Why don't you talk of high- ® er things once in a while?" .

The annual meeting of the Cape May Free Library Association was 1 held at the High School Building cm Wednesday afternoon, February 2nd, and it proved to be a most interesting ; meeting. Mayor Melvin presided. It was held Iff the public library room which has been nicely fitted up and .contains now over 3,000 volumes. The of Education has shown a great deal of interest and has authorized the union of the high school library with the free public library and the use of its books on the same terms' by the public. The books received in recognition of the services of the local committee of ladies which served as librarians under the auspices of the AmerLibrary Association, number about 2J)00. About 100 books have contributed by private peopie who have been interested. The library a perpetual endowment which will yield about 376 per . year and the , cumulative effects of this will become apparent as the years pass. The library association is organized under the terms of the endoWnent with the Mayor, "President of the Board of Education anil City Superintendent of Schools, permanent mem- ' bers and these authorized to name two other citizens of the 'city, W. R. Sheppard and A. W. Hand, now serving under this appointment. The auxiliary members, not definitely authorized under the terms of the organization, were appointed to serve one ' year, out , of the compliment po the ladies of the war committee which served at the hospital libraries. These members are Mrs. L. C. Ogd^n and Mrs. George M. Wentzell. Last summer the City Commissioners provided a room in the convention hall for the surhmer and fitted it up tastefully for library and reading room use and it was here that the library launched with success. It was determined at this meeting, however, that it will be inadvisable to remove i the library to the convention hall for t the summer, since the carting of the , books back and forth is damaging to . them and the moistness of the atmosphere down there is also very detri- , mental to them. The association also agreed at this meeting to charge a fee of $1 to $1.50 to ah summer sojourn- , ers who wish to use the library for , the season. This seems to be necesi sary in order to meet the expense for I "wear and tear. A resolution passed asking that the City Commissioners . provide the librarian for the coming summer and consider the advisability . of seeking a vote of the people at the , next election, on the question of ap- , nexi eiecuon, on wie question ui «»f-

, plying the law which permits an as- , sessment of one third of one mill on the dollar each year for public library , support. , Since the removal' of the library to the high school building Miss Edith Edmunds has served as librarian, the library being open ' Monday, Thurs-' ' day and Friday afternoons from 3:30 ' to 4:30 o'clock and 'she has been paid ' j from the endowment funds. " , When the final installments of books from other sources are receivgj) and placed in order, the purchase of new books -by the endowment fund r will be begun. The: library is now and is apt to re,main so for some years, at least, the largest public library in the county. . 6 Resolution was passed declaring the' 1 limits of the territory to be served by e the library, to be the 'High School se,c11 tion which includes Cape May City^ , West Cape May, South Cape MaY, r Cape May Point and Lower Town- ^ ship.
