FORD CAB HAS MANY REFINEMENTS The Ford Motor Company, Detroit, has just made public a list of recent improvements in the mechanical fea- j tares of Ford cars- 1 Asserting that Ford cars are better 1 1 today than they ever have been be- 1 - fore, the statement adds that fuel < consumption is lower, the engine is I j even more efficient than formerly, ' < improvements in the springs and 1 1 steering apparatus insure easier rid- ] lag and driving qualities, a new head- 1 lamp lens, which complies with all | State laws, improves the road -light, and that many other minor better- i ments have been made : Ford pistons and connecting rods have been re-designed an4 are match- i ed for weight before assembling into 1 motors. This reduces vibration and I gives the motor a quicker pick-up. i The new pistons weigh three-quarters ! of a pound less than those formerly) i used- A highly polished crank bear-! ing surface also reduces wear and, j ' added to the piston and connecting 1 rod improvements, insures a smoother ■ running and better balanced motorThe material used in. the Ford crankshaft and the care and precision in its manhfacture make it second to ' none. The new Ford carburetor gives increased acceleration. Though noC radically different from the carburetor previously used, the new qon- . struction improves the all-around per' formance of the motor, giving it a quicker pick-up and a greater flexi- : bility of action. - The wiring system has been completely re-designed, and while it costs more to install than the old system, is more efficient, proof of which is evidenced by the fact that it affords a fire insurance rate as low as the higher priced cars on the marketMany other changes have been made. A 16 inch steering wheel is now standard equipment, Timken roller bearings are used in the front wheels; one-piece pressed steel running board brackets insure body rigidity and eliminates vibration and body noises; a dash-weather trough prevents rain from reaching coil terminals or dash wiring; the steering mechanism has also been improved; and the tools supplied to purchasers of Ford cars have also been improved in quality. Another important improvement in the truck chassis is the adoption of cord tires as standard •nupment on the rear wheels. The change made some timp ago in the seating arrangement of the touring cars has met with widespread ap- . proval. By lowering seats and altering the seat backs, greater comfort is added. - It is pointed out that retail sales of a million cars and trucks yearly, i • and the consumption of raw and finished products at a cost of approximately one million dollars a day makes it possible to sell Fords at

. their present low prices and at the k- same time to produce a car of except tionallv high quality.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS ' |j Abandoned Farms Are Fast Fading] Away in Cape May County , r There are many new residents mov- * into Cape May county and taking ; the farms which have been par- 1 ' tially or wholly abandoned. It is en- J ) couraging to see that Cape May ' count v is on the road to Wellville and j i going strong. The seashore re- ' ,] sorts are expanding very rapidly and ? 1 I the inland with its agriculture la | expanding, not only in num- 1 ■ of nerw acres tilled, but in im- 1 ! proved cultural methods. ' ' The new residents are coming from ■ as far west as North Dakota and as ' near east' as Cumberland county. ' The most notable development in agricultural improvement is in the;' i taking up of the old sugar cane plan- 1 I tation tract of 1500 acres at Rio;' . Grande, by William H. Souders, of | ' i Bridgetori. Under the management]' J of Mr. Souders this tract, which hasj- ] laid idle for years, is now being put , > , under intensive cultivation and is ' ; growing at this writing several hun-|1 : dred acres of peas, onions, cabbage . j . and other truck crops- Such enter- I ' ■ prises should be given all the local i support nossible, as they are big steps > toward putting Cape May county^s agriculture on the high level, that it rightfully deserves. ; These will be sent when asked for. • : It is also possible to be put on the ' experiment station mailing list for - new bulletins as they are issued- For ' instance, "Hints to Poultrymen," a i monthly publication, will be sent reg- ■ ularly after you get on the poultry jlist, Other than poultry subjects are being studied bv the various experi- [ I ment station specialists and you can 5 1 have their findings b^writing to J. ' A. Stackhouse, county agricultural 5 agent, Cape May Court House. Be [ sure to state the subject or subjects ! in which you are interested. Last, but not least, you will do well to subscribe to at least one county ' newspaper, so that you will be cog- " nizant of all that goes on in the county at all times. A county newspaper is not merely helnful, and pleasant, ^ it is necessary. ) SHERIFF TOMLIN WILL BE SURr ROGATE CANDIDATE ® Mead Tomlin, Sheriff of Cape May ' county, will be a candidate for the of- | " fice of county surrogate at the Pri- ® mary election in September on the * Republican ticket. The present surrogate, former 1 Judge Harry S. Douglass, declared on Thursday that he will not be a canili- " date to succeed himself. Sheriff Tomlin has made a very ef- i s ficient official in the Sheriff's crffice, : and is generally conceded to be one s of the most popular officials C.'.pe j ', May county has everhad. |

lABgW -mill*!*. ilTrtniltrw | Vendors of so-called patriotic magazines are at frequent intervals ' appearing in Wildwood and are selling "Treat 'Em Square," "Veterans' Magazine" and others- These vendors are, as far as can be learned, bonafide ex-service men making a living, but the local American Legion has refused to stand behind the vendors for the reason that in most cases it is extremely difficult to ascertain if the ex-service man is selling the publication on sympathy, or if his proposition is one of merit. On the other hand the past has offered to secure a position for the vendors if they want a position here. It is the desire of earnest ex-ser- ! vice men to keep the buddies on a s ! safe and sane basis and away from 1 the sympathy and charity stand- No t j former soldier, if he wants employ- j ! ment, will be overlooked in Wildwood. 1 i | At the same time Legion men want r ' to know where the money secured by a ] j the vendors go and whether for a ' . I good purpose or not and up to the | , , present time none of the vendors I have satisfied the Legion that their) f [ I business is a philanthropic one. s COLD SPRING Mr. and Mrs. C.

GEO. t RECORD'S MEMORIAL ADDRESS George L. Record, Who la Opposing Senator Frolin(jh«tysan as a Candidate for the Republican Nomination for United 8tctes Senator at the Republican Primaries .In September, Spoke With Senator Runy-n at the Memorial Day Celebration Held Under the Auspices of William H. Snyder Pott No. 42, American Legion, at Mocrestown. His speech follows: "Memorial day has taken on a new significance since the great World War. "We know what was established by the War of Independence, the War of J812, the Mexlcnn War. the Spanish War, and the Civil War. We are too to the World War to determine , all that has been established by lu But | t'ds war, involving as It did nearly the I whole world, has produced such treImendous consequences that no one can foresee what will be hs ultimate results. "Whatever may bp the consequences of i he World War thlt !s a fitJng tltne and occasion to render ear tribute to the vnlor, sacrifice and dcvqtjon of the men who went out from this country to upon the soil of France against the Germans. They believed that they were fighting for the preservation of the democratic principle, for the destruction of autocracy and privilege, for the right of every nation to erect own form of government, and most Important of all, to end forever the practice of settling International disputes by force. It was to be u war to end war. The men who risked, their and those who lost them should take their place In the history of America with the heroes of the War of Independence and of the Civil War. ■ "It Is fitting, however, that after pay- . Ing our tribute to these brave soldiers | and sailors, we should take Uiougbt as to how all of us can In the future carry | out and establish the Ideals for which • these brave men fought. That presents I a problem of Immense difficulty. I "It was estimated that last winter " . 700.000 of our soldiers were compelled I to walk the streets seeking In vain for I work, and suffering the hurolllaton and | I degradation of undeserved poverty. To . me It Is a most humiliating reflection | ' that our government and apparently | our people are so profoundly Indlffer- ' • ent to the soldiers who fought In the I ' World War. Even the wounded have J ' not been properly cared for. The men | • whom we acclaimed as heroes when . 1 they went Into the service have been | allowed to shift for themselves on i their return from the war, and no one, I i least of all the government, seems to I . care. We vote millions to railroads, . and other millions to millionaires an-1 trusts In tax exemptions, hut a propo- . sal for additional compensation to sol- ' diars Is bitterly opposed, particularly ' i #y the profiteers who mude millions out , of the war. < "But the problem Is greater than this j illustration of ingratitude. While « 700.000 soldiers walked the streets J seeking in vain for employment, 5,000,- i 000 other citizens of the republic were ] condemned to the same undeserved suf- » ferlng and poverty. J "Here then Is the key of our prob- J lem. How shall we prevent Involuntary j unemployment even in good times and « wholesale unemployment In the ever ; recurring periods of bad times? Mr. ; Herbert Hoover, the secretary of com- ? merce, Is a great engineer. He has > repeatedly declared that there Is no J need for unemployment nor for Invol- j untary poverty; that If we learn to ? properly co-ordinate the fnctors of pro- * duction which are land, labor and capi- J tal, we could easily produce enough for j all without requiring more than a mod- 1 ernte amount of labor from any man, ^ and without driving our women and J children Into onr mills and sweat shop i labor. ^ "This then Is our problem. Its solu- s tlon Is only possible by changing the J law. the medium ..f political parties. ] "We must seek ' ur remedy by the ' application of one or the other f three ^ Ideas. One Is the idea of socialism, to which I am opposed. It 1- based upon two fallacies. One is that men will produce as much when working for the government for the common j good as when working for th- elves. | All history shows this Is not tn - The other fallacy is that competition Is a I bad principle. This Is also unsound. Competition Is not a principle. It Is a ! law of nature like the law of gravitai tion, and •: Is beyond the p r of any government, or even of all the people of the world to suppre s It • any general work over any large area , of territory, or for any greet length t of time. Another Is he Idea which « we have tried to apply for for. years, J I the Idea of the regulation of our trusts ^ and railroads. This seems to ave > failed. The Idea hicb seems to me ^ ' more promising Is the abolition of ] privilege. In my Judgment every lm- j P"rtant trust la this country depends « for Its control of tip- market upon J 1 some prlrlleg natural or artificial. j i "The Federal Trade Commission says » that the Beef Trust owes Its control of J the market lo Illegal favors in transpor- * tation granted t.. ii by the rahroads and a denied to competitors The Interstate > Commerce Commission says that the an- } thraclte Coal Trust ovos its control of the » market to similar favors nlus the owner- J ship by the Trust ot a i : In- land contain- * tain' the* monopoly.'"* Regulation having i failed.
