PREPARING FOR WASHINGTON TRIP FIRST FOOTBALL GAME RESULTED IN VICTOR V— SENIORS ARE WORKING HARD TO RAISE THE MOO NECESSARY FOR TRIP TO THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. , Last Saturday our football team played their first frame here with Ckpe May Court House. Edwin Ashburn made a fine 80 yard run for a touchdown, his wonderful interference making this possible- William Lyime is acting as captain of the team, ^nd his ability to gWfe the correct signals at the proper tiiAe shows that he will be able to fulfill our trust in him in all of our future games. Because of superior playing, Cape May upset the j old tradition that a new team, in a new sport, onia new field, must lose fts firat game. We are iproud of our team- The proceeds from this game were $70.40. Today, we play Wildwood here. Everyone is asked to turn out support the team. The game starts at 3 p- m. Tickets are 25 cents. The Seniors have set as their aim for the amount of money needed for the Washington trip. $900.00. So far they have nearly $200- The people of the city are asked to add them m every way possible, so that they will be able to go. Shows and movie benefits will be given this winter. The dates will be set and announced later. Tire best of the oratoricals of last week was given by Ruth Wicks. She spoke on "Education as an Asset to Success." The Juniors started their oral work Wednesday last. Their first speaker was Henry Bennett on "The Gape May Lighthouse." ' The record of attendance for the month of October was as follows: High School 93.6 per cent; Grammar School 94.3 per "cent, and Annex 981 per cent. per cent. n

This, is an answer to an r appeal from Mrs- Bo wen Bruere, a Missionary Nurse from Camden. N. J. The humble Dispensary to which this box is donated treats one thousand patients a month. This was made \ possible by the cooperation of the r ladies from the three Protestant j Churches. We feel that this proves a true Missionary spirit. ,j < REMOVAL NOTICE This is to notify you that the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Camden Sub -Die- | triet Office, now located at 28-25 1 Broadway. Camden.

HflST GUARDS I RESENT REPORT RUMORED THAT THEY ARE NOT c AFTER RUM RUNNERS AND IF THEY SAW A BOAT APPROACH- ; ING THEY WOU LD TURN THEIR BACKSi Captain Joseph Springer of Two i Mile Beach Coast Guard Station, No. fj 135, and acting Captain Wm. Mount p i of Cold Spring Inlet Coast Guard Sta- „ < tion No. 136, resent the stories that tj • have been going the rounds' that they 1 are in cohoots with the rum runners a i and bootleggers and that if they saw 1 a fishing boat approaching the beach ifc i with a cargo of hooch that they would t( ' turn their backs and let the law break- t< : ; ers land the vile stuffi On election" night orders were re- 1 jj > ceived by the Coast Guard Stations i H • from Sandy Hook to Cape May to : watch every inlet that connected with p ■ the inland waterways of the coast, j > Cold Spring Inlet crew and the Two p : Mile Beach Ctews have been on dutv J • at Cold Spring Inlet, both dav and ei 1 night watching every craft that goes n r into the Inlet and their boats are " searched for hooch- The crews are on p t -regular shift. When one crew goes i on relief the other crew is on the job. t] 1 Captain R. C. Weightman of the jr - Coast Guard Cutter Kickapoo is lying n 5 at the navy yard dock with a full head '• of steam awaiting orders to proceed £ to sea at a minutes notice to intercept w - anv of the twelve schooners that have w 5 been reported to have cleared from the r Bahamas and t-v to sneak inside of jj t the three mile limit and land a cargo e e on the beaches here. Captain Mount said that it would be an easy matter a ! for a rum runner to land a cargo be- : tween Cape May and Cape May Point p r as the coast guards are not patroling j 1 the beach, but are all at the Inlets, d but the man in the lookout tower.

;e CANCER WEEK ii The week of Nov. 12 to 18 is to be < observed as "Cancer Week." This is <1 a nation-wide educational movement 8 to direct the attention of the public to the need for early recognition of can- d cer while it is still curable- This ae- s ticn is taken by prominent physicians and laymen because of the fact that J cancer is on the increase, and is usu- Ij ally beyond all possibility of a cure C before a reputable physician is consuited. .'3 It is desired that a prominent speak n er address the audience Of the Palace Theatre some time during the week. ' the pastors of the churches co- f operate and that the matter be pre- « sented at the public schools ami where 11 people gather. During next Jweek literature pertaining to early ' recognition of cancer can be obtained j from any. of the local physicians. Dr. ' F. R. Hughes, is the chairman of the movement for this locality. 1 COMMUNITY CLUB ;j The Woman's Community Club will J its program meeting for the t month of November on Thursday. r November 16th at 2:80 o'clock in the Palace Theatre.

GUARDS R WERE ON WAtCH CREWB OF COLD SPRING AND R TWO MILE BEACH STATIONS Kj GUARD COLD SPRING INLET ALL NIGHT FOR APPROACH OF BUM RUNNERS. Coast Guard crews numbers 136 (Cold Spring) and 136 (Two Mile . Beach), acting Captain Wm. Mount and Captain Joe Springer, had the ^ cr ewe of their stations awaiting inside ~Z of Cold Spring Harbor Inlet with their l>oats watching for the approach of Rum Runner on Tuesday night, jr Shipping men ak>n» the coast all . agree that the fogg was the worst in many years. Citizens of Cape May could not see the rays of the *■ Lighthouse as the fogg was so dense. Several rum runners have been off shore for many days, and it had been P< expected that in the fogg they would « attempt to run the gauntlet of one of the many inlets along the New Jersey and land a cargo of booze. It "i understood that there has been an of a new brand of whiskey from A4 Bahamas known as "Atherton" {*< which those who have sampled it say M is of good quality. f Federal authorities have a hunch le that fishing boats that go off shore ai supposedly to fish have been bring- "V back the hooch ashore in barrels Ul fish that have been already packed sea. It is thought that many bot- st of whiskey have filtered into el Philadelphia and New York markets jv this manner. h< Caotain R. C. Weightman of the lo Guard Cutter Kickapoo has tl to sea on a hunt for the rum W runners, but on account of the thick ni weather has not seen any writhsn the h< three mile limit. Coast Guards along the coast resent ni news dispatch from Wildwood that to stated that rum runners could be seen o] the boardwalk and beach, both B Wildwood and Cape May. Captain di Weightman of the Kickapotf said that p: a vessel outsfcle of the three mile limit di would be hull down and not vi sable ai the beach in the thick weather tl has prevailed along the coast. m Sh'-ring men here say that the rum p, runners' would have no trouble to slip ft the Delaware Canes and land a ei cargo of hooch along the lonely g shores of the Delaware Bay. as there t} no coast guard stations from Cane Ii I Point to Philadelphia, and -the hi roaibYeading from Hie bay shortxun tkr mainhighwavs, ; (j It is understood that a truck load j j, of hooch was seized by the State Po- ! y lice one night this week on its way l0, South Jersev to Camden. 1 b — ™ I si THE BEACH DRIVE | tl ! e' Freeholder Irvin H. Eldredge rep- IS resenting Cape May on the County 1 1 i Board is making a strong effort to w receive for this resort a continuation n of the hard surfacing of Beach Drive. L Eldredge explained to Ws fellow p members that the property adjoining b the Drive was assessed at $338/100, p and that since the Beach Drive has C hard surfaced Cape May has paid into the coffers of the county a € half million dollars in real money and S 90 far as our knowledge goes we do o not believe that Cape May has receiv- g ed over $65,000 in the last ten years and it is now time that Cape May got E a little of its own money 9pent for its P own purposes. We do not believe A there is a single resort in Cape May t that has not received greater n appropriation than Cape May. t APPOINTED DEPUTY a a Sheriff elect Georee Redding has ' named James T. Hoffman, of West - Cane May, as his deputy. Politically ' he could have made no better choice . as to qualifications, he lacks none ' that it takes to fill this officer Mr. j Hoffman has been verv active in politics for twenty-five years. He has al - ways been a strong organization man and is a shrewd politician. He has = held the following positions: Tax Col- " lector of Lower Township, eleven years; Clerk to Committee of Aoto- . nidations, New Jersey Senate, three v years: member Cape May County Tax . Board, four years. { GEORGE W. POYNTER, JR. j George W.

RECORD MAJORITY t FORSTEVENS RALPH STEVENS, SUCCESSFUL p CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY HONORED BY LARGEST PLURALITY EVER GIVEN ANY CANDIDATE IN CAPE MAY COUNTY The enormous majority obtained by ^ the Republican candidate for the As- gsembly in the recent election, Ralph ir Stevens, of Cape May, breaks the rec- tl ord in this Hnt. * No candidate in this u oounty ever before received such a ^ majority. If his ambition leads in that direction he will inevitably be the ^ senator. o; Senator Bright'^ endorsement or jt sanction was a good thing for a candi- g] date not to have in the recent elec- <1 tion. George Redding, whom if re- tl ports are correct and all of the indi- ti cations point to their correctness, was bitterly opposed by Bright and his j, lieutenants as candidate for Sheriff, n but he was elected- Champion, three- 0 year candidate for the Board of Freeholders, also it is reported had the a honor of the Senator's opposition, and h he was duly elected- k is a -rather odd circumstance that a supposed leader of the Republican party should arrange opposition to regularly nomi- S nated candidates on the Republican s ticket g If the Republican primary and the £ succeeding election bad resulted in the 0 election of Bright candidates what a j, epilation there would have been and fl w the trumpets of the Bright fol- £ would have peeled out about c wonderful victory for the Senator. We have not heard them and we do R not see any reason why they should be ], The primary was a clear de- 0 feat for them and the election is still n of a defeat. If the opposition r the Senator's program was devel- c oped by County Clerk Hitdreth, as v B right's people insisted, then Hil- 0 dreth's ticket has won. It lost in the a primary two candidates who had no to be nominated but its import- h ant candidates have been elected and c purpose behind the whole move- b ment has been achieved. This pur- g was to secure to the county men t the new small board of freehold- g whose integrity and ability for the great task ot reorganizing the coun- t ty's business could not be questioned. c In Champion and Kay these candidates t been securely elected- s Foster was en independent candi- f and is a man whose reputation has always been good. His nomina- 5 tion was not due to much else bot his c own efforts and his election followed 1 he received the Republican s support He will undoubtedly serve I county faithfully. Irving Fitch is to fill the important office of Surrogate and he is a man whose pubrecord is without blemish and who will undoubtedly make as good a surrogate as the oounty has ever, had. < Lewis T. Stevens was elected in the A primary to succeed himself as a mem- ' of the State Committee over 1 Rright's High Lord Executioner Chas. ' Bohm. ' The thunderbolts were sent after ' L. Redding, candidate for 1 but he .stood Dat and won and J no allegiance to the Bright or- ; ganization- ' 1 It would be idle to credit to the Bright people the success of Ralph the Republican candidate for His majority is greater 1 than all of the voters which could be mustered to support the Bright faction. I Mind you, we are not admitting for j moment, that the candidates elected ' not the products of factional selec- 1 tion in the sense that has been so j studiously urged, by the old-liners , who can see nothi"™ else in any con- ■ test, and take this means of suppress- : ine opposition to tlmir own little 1 plans. But if ye are*to accct thp : view of these dved-in-the-wool fac- ' tionalists, the Birrht faction has lost|. out rather decidedly. Our own opinion is that the conservative neonle of this county who are interested in the county's welfare and not in that of anv self-selectd boss, have elected the .candidates whom the- believe best able to serve |: the county. The'- do not subscribe to j the idea, at all. that when a man heState Senator that -he has the I right to dictate candidates for all jother offices at the count v'^ disposal, j* BIRTHDAY PARTY Mr. and Mrs. H.

ADAMS EXPLAINS HANDSARE TIED PROHIBITION OFFICER ADAMS SAYS HIS HANDS ARE HEP— AFTER HE MAKES A RAID THK OFFENDERS ARE LET DOWBf WITH SMALL FINE. Prohibition Enforcement Officer of Ocean City, on reading th# STAR A WAVE at the breakfast tabla Ocean CK" on Saturday morning last, hastened to this dty to explain, to the above paper. He claims that his hands ore tied because a wet Governor has appointed wet judges, and after he makes a raid and tho offendere are token before the bar of that they ore let off with a small fine of from twenty-five to fifty or else released on bail, and tmtis do not come up for 6 long Adams pointed out the case of the grocery in this city which he raided in August and confiscated a lot of block and fall and white mule. The "Grocer" was taken to Atlantic City and put under one thousand dollars baiL but despite of this fact, the sale of white mule and block and fall has not abated at all at the grocer's. Why, said Adams, I sent one -of my men their to buy a drink the other day. Seven men were drinking in the place, but my man could not purchase anything because of the fact that some one had tipped them off of ourv oomAdams said that if he had to make a raid every thirt" minutes in this city he was going to show the citizens of the city that he was not bluffing and that he was not paid to stav away from here by the bootof the parties who are dealing out the death potions to poor unfortunate souls, who are being murdered ri-ht under the nose of the supposed church -going and law abiding citizens, while they sit "nd watch the slaughter of the innocents without even making Drotest to the powers that belt is high time that some one took a hand in the affair and cleaned up the city. We do not advocate violet**, it would do some of these birds good if the Klu Klux Clan hapcened make a visit here, and make them skiddoo, never to return. The fact that we claimed last week that politics has been playing a big part in the enforcement of the prohilaws is more than true from the statement made by Prohibition EnOffieer AdamsIt Ss a crime on the fair name of the County and City, that a bunch of criminals are allowed to break the while Americans look on, and sav.
