K. S. DRAMATIC I CLUB AUVE ^ l two plays to be presented double bill on january 27th in high school auditorium The High School Dramatic dub again present an evening of drama tl under the direction of Miss h«ne n Magiimias. This time they will rah- ti der a double bill in the High School E Auditorium on Friday ' evening, Janu1 ary 27, at 8.15 .o'clock. e The plays are very well chosen and a will surely please- Many .'will repalL h the excellent effort of the Dramatic t last year when they presented e Dicker's "Christmas Carol " ' It is C ■ expected that these plays, which are t > very much more elaborate and are p ■ each about 45 minutes in length, wiH t ' produce even more pleasure and fav- ( I orable comment than the production t iof last year. >j One of the plays is a strictly fare- r ' ial comedy called "Id on Parle Fran- t " [caise" (French is spoken here). This 1 is not a French plav, but concerns an c embryo summer hotel at a favorite j > summer resort where many humor5 ously pathetic com- ' ':ons arise 1 I I Of course they are not unlike numerous amusing intiderrts occurring each. 1 ' summer in boarding houses of our ' own beloved resort. It is sure to t 3 create rounds of hearty laughter and 1 3 applause- 1 3 The other play is "The Loan of a 1 Love." It is a very pretty musical < ** production with Holland Dutch set- i 5 ing. There is a quiet repose and 1 3 daintiness about this piece which is 1 3 very charming; yet there are sever- 1 0 al occasions of profuse merriment. : The hero and heroine are bound" to : please because of their perfect ' : truthfulness and simplicity of man- 1 ,

ner. The play is in direct contrast j ui the former one and is deserving of :ta great attention. jtt The High School will not present I in former years a large play or 1 show at one of our theatres, which involved a large majority of the [ sdhool, but will present several j smaller productions such as this one 'T It is hoped that the friends of the | v. school will give them their layol .sup- lit port- |g m ' m ! a MEETING OF TALL CEDARS a Id January 27th y 1 Cape May County Forest No 15.1* - Tall Cedars of Lebanon, will hold its j : first session for 1922 on Friday even- f r ing, January 27th. at the high school > j auditorium, Wildwood.

REV. P. S. HOWE MESMESS CLEBGMAN DELIVERS AH ADDRESS AT THE POOR RICHARD eUJB UPON THE SUBJECT OF CAPE MAY HISTORY AND ANCESTRY On. December 6th Dr. Howe waaspeaker of the evening at a dinner of the Order of Founders and Patriots of America, held at the Poor* Club, Philadelphia. The subject of the addrees was early history of Cape May witjt special reference to the transporting" here of the Pilgrim stock through migration of the Yarmouth whalers, first to Long Island and then to Cape May- Several descendants of the old stock of the county were present, and the general interest in the subject illustrates the value to May of this inherited distinction — a genuine asset to our resort. The following letter from the secretary of the Order expresses the inin the subject of the large number of professional men and other men of prominence who were present. January 4, 1922. Paul S. Howe, Cape May, N- J. . dear Dr. Howe: I have the honor to inform yoa ■ that at a meeting of the Council of I the Pennsylvania Society of the Pounders and Patriots of America, 1 December 6th, 1921, Deputy I Governor Vansan stated to the Ooun- ■ til his appreciation, as an offioer and I member of the body of your talented ; and brilliant address on the Cape colony and moved that the sec- . j retary be instructed to convey to you > j the thanks of the Council for your L generous contribution to the evening's •entertainment- The motion was

unanimously carried and the secretory extends to you the gratitude and thanks of the Council. Very respectfully yours, GEORGE S. WOLBERT, Secretory. HOW TO SAVE TAXES 'The increase in the tax rate which | will be caused by the city's controlling for the collection and removal of i garbage under municipal regulation ' and pay, will be scarcely noticeable . and the saving to cottagers and resiI dents will be from $20 to $50 per j The practice of throwing trash and garbage upon vacant lots, now ! frequently resorted to by transient ' residents, will then be abolished for its collection in a systematic way will be provided forThere are lots of ways to save the taxpeyers' money without depriving them of a perfectly proper and necesconvenience, which h.i= receive* (attention as a matter of cturse in every city, probably, in the country of the size and importance of Cape j For instance, prompt action instead 'of postpoiunent for a week would 'have saved in 1920 $1600 on the 'city's annual coal bill. The leasing of the city's land to the Hunt 'Theatre Company in 1920 [would have led to the expenditure of $50,000 in the erection of a fine theatre which is now being built in 1 Wildwood instead, and would have (brought an income in rentals ami [taxes of from $2,000 to $5,000 per I year for a long term of years with- . out detriment to the city nor to any ( other interest i Diligent attention to the city's [finances and to the prompter collection of taxes would result in less borrowing of money and the payment of [ I less interestj I The difficulty Ls that petty politics ' are receiving more attention than the city's interests and is costing more in taxes than anything in the nature jof needed improvements which are [ 1 proposed, wouldNOTICE ! Owing to the elimination of the ' War Tax on shipments and a drop in : the flactory, we are now selling Col1 onial Ice Cream at 60 cents a quart- - Nicoll's Restaurant, 614 Washington ' street.
