NEW BOOK NOW AN AUTHORITY OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF DR. HOWE'S BOOK AS AN AUTHORITY ON EARLY CAPE MAY JUS- ' TORY. The historical connection of the first settlers of Cape May with the stock of Plymouth Colony and the race of the Pilgrims has not been recognized heretofore by the several historians of southern Jersey. Dr. -book has covered entirely ground in connecting together the record of the Diary of Aaron the second andrthe Rfcv. Dr. Daniel . Lawrence Hughes' genealogical work. Dr. Hughes states that the wife of Jac. Hughes first was named Priscilla, but goes no farther, leaving the history and identity of this ancestre,ss of the Hughes family in obscurity. By connecting the record of Aaron Learning second with Dr. Hughes' -"Divine Covenant" the forthcoming "Mayflower Descendants in Cape May County" shows that the above named Priscilla, wife of the first Jacob Hughes, was Priscilla -Learning, daughter of Thomas Learnand Hannah Whilldin his wife. Some months afjo Dr. Howe was consulted by a lawyer of Philadelphiai Mr. Frank Worthington Melvin,. in relation to papers for admission to the Society of Mayflower Descendants — Mr. Melvi'n being a descendant of Jacob. Hughes and Priscilia. Inasmuch as membership involves^ a 1 as clear as the law* requires in .the descent of property, the followletter is most gratifying to the author and publisher of the book wfiich is giving an added interest throughout the nation to the old re- : sort of Cape May. March 14th, 1921 ; Rev] Paul S.. Howe, Church of the Advent, May, N. J. dear Dr. Howe: — I take pleasure in informing you ^ that my application for membership in the Mayflower Society has come . through approved, and that I am now a member. Your courtesy and painstaking cooperation has been greatly appreciated by me. , I am looking forward eagerly to the . of your new book which , presume has been -delays through , difficulties. I hope that when ] you are next in 'Philadelphia you will ' drop into see me, and have luncheon ! with me. < IWith kind regards, I remain, ; Sincerely, F. W.

BILL IS APPROVED DELAWARE ASSEMBLY PASSES 1 BILL BY A VOTE OF SO TO 1— 1 CAPE MAY DELEGATION GOES 1 , TO DOVER TO CONFER WITH ..LEGISLATORS. 1 • I The State Highway Ferry System ] between Cape May and Lewes, Dela., ' met with the approval of the Lower ] House of the Delaware Legislature ] when they passed the biirljyyfi vote 1 • of thirty to one, with no opposition . expected in the Senate. Cape May was represented by Mayor^F. J. Mel- . vin, President of County Chamber of : Commerce Ogde* and Prank B. Mecray. This move on the part of both ; states is very commendable for the reason that it shortens tfavel between ' Jhe southern cities and he New Jer- ' • i sey resorts. In the Delaware bill there is an item . for $15,000 for repairs to the Pennsylvania Railroad Wharf which that ] j corporation has offered for the free ' j use of the state to assist the ferry j system. * i It is understood that the highway \ Commissioners are contemplating a ' landing place here.

1 BUILD IT NOW 1 | AND ENJOY IT 1 « A lady phoned us the other day, Q "I've been waiting foyr years to "put hardwood floors in my living room and dining room," she Q said. "I've saved a little uioney Dy waiting and perhaps if I wait another four years I may save" a few A dollars more, but I'm -tired of the inconvenience. I want those floors wliile I'm alive. Send someone VC ^ up to tell me what they'll cost." Vf A That expresses our feeling exactly. • •o" Why wait to save five dollars on a repairing or remodeling job, when you can have the work done O • ft now" and get- the pleasure and comfort from it during all th'c intervening time." ft Building material prices are greatly reduced. 1 You can build a^gyage or barn, lay hardwOod floors, roof your house, roplacft cracked walls With W Beaver Board — at a cost greatly below tljat of six months ago. * ft Prices mafcgfl-oHfflitly lower. It's doubtful. Building material manufacturers, q'aught with big ft stocks,, clcai^lrhcm out almost at cost. Wjjen demand increases they 'will again ^»sk. a fair profit « and their Quotations will probably be higher. & ft BuL^ any rate, are you going, to. let five-dollars, or ten dollars, or twenty dollars^ keep -you from ft . ft havingThat new garage, those new floors, or those needed Beaver Board rooms? ft O It's worth that much to . build them now and en joy them, jSt ■ ~ If-youTl phone or call on us, you'll find us ready with prices arid riiatcrials that are right.
