Professor J. W. F. Leman, conductor of the 1 .email Symphony orchestra 1 was then heard, in a very, compreben- ' sire manner the speaker outlined a plan whereby a community such as Ocean City might provide during the season the very best music, ami do so without the necessity of charging ' prohibitive admission. That Prof. Le- | man's remarks struck responsive chords in the hearts of the Kiwanians J was evident, and probably we may hear of further developments upon the _ The chief speaker of the occasion, ' however, was Kiwaniau William M.

Man can he suc^nsful, he said,: , ( onlj to. the degree he is able to influ- : ' L ejice the minds of other men. Discussing the faculty of memory, he ( E: drew an interesting picture of the j f process by which images are created . in the subconscious mind. ( Thought accumulation is an accumulation of consciousness, and an Accumulation of consciousness is dower. Men, he said, can rise no higher than their ideas. The man "who spends his life pushing a broom is an example of weak desires and a low ideal. As lorfg as he knows no ambition or aspirdtion higher than the broom, he will ra^jto higher. The speaker then gave to his philosophy a practical application, as it affected modem business and business methods. The old code of business Scalp HaaMkT Manicuring MISS MAG G.

Modem business aims at provid-" ■ ing the puhlfcVith the best service at ' V the lowest price. - In conclusion Mr. Ford advocated; very strongly hoino patronage. Buy ] 1 at home, he said.

Some time ago F. Leroy Howe. I ) received a communication all the way I from Montrose, Colorado, requesting some literature or postal cards descriptive of the city and its environs. Very naively the correspondent, a Miss Vickery. informed the Bureau she ^ ) studying geography, and desired more particulars 'about Ocean City than her text-books furnished. Since then another little maid has written from Montrose' to the same effect. ' Now, if wc could lie absolutely certain r these little maids were prompted more \ y by lyMcsirc for information than for * the pleasure of corresponding witli v Howe, it would be highly flatter- 1 ing to Ocean City. Anyhow wc arc on c the maps used in Colorado. . t i 1 ^The J^ncoln ' Will Open April 6th Reservations now being made for Palm Sunday and Easter. J. C. FUNCK j ' ' ' "I* ■ it

Chamber of Commerce Advertising Project Meets With Generous Response The letter sent^dt by the Ocean City Chamber of commerce, appealing for a fund of $5,000, ; to be devoted e>«msivcly for the purpose of .advertising Ocean City as the Ideal Seaside Resort is being receitfeiF>*prywWre with acciamationNand a generous response. Enthusiasm grows more daily. The Olamb»-ruf'i Commerce has infected the entire community with its ideas. There has been nothing fin theform of a canvass attempted; nevertheless already a sum over $2,000 lias ; ! been subscifbjbd and pledged. Judginfc/from the attitude of the general public towards the project we fcdl certain the grand I _ total will hJ nearer the $10,000 mark than the $5,000. Gladly we publish a copy of the letter sent • j out by thy- Committee in charge of the campaign. j Oea^Sir: Ocean City is suddenly aroused to the immediate need of carrying out an advertising program greater than thjjt which can be secured solely , ; from the municipality's advertising appropriation. This appropriation is no greater this year than last, nor can it, for obvious reasons, be increased for the coming season. With hundreds of new cottages and apartments being built that must secure a summer patronage in order to make adequate returns to these investors, it is necessary for increased advertising. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AT A FULL AND EARNEST MEETING HAS RECOGNIZED THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR THIS We cannot afford to have a greater supply of cottages and appartments next season than the demand will warrant. It would result in a serious slump in our present splendid development. We must have patrons who are able to pay the range of rentals that is demanded, and in order to reinforce the city's advertising program, a drive has been instituted for .the purpose of obtaining a fund of$5,000, which amount will be spent in compelling the attention of the public. This can be do.^o by large, striking advertisements in leading papers of adjacent cities. We ask you to join us in a contribution of at least Five Dollars to this most urgent'^ause. We cannot hope to raise the required amount -with Five Dollar subscriptions only. We are pleased to announce, however, that a number of our local people are subscribing from Twenty-five Dollars to One Hundred Dollars each. You will see the results yourself in the press and have a part in encouraging the splendid investments that have ; been and are now being made in Ocean City. Very truly, OCEAN CITY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. ( R. W. EDWARDS, O-nmittee: A. RANDObPH FOGG, ' < F. LEROY HOWE.

O. S. of A The grand rally , will be staged in the Lodge Room at , the Hann Building, and the prognosti- < cations are the occasion will be the ] greatest and best in the history "of!j the Camp. A fine galaxy of talent | , drawn from the ranks of professional!, entertainers have been booked. The j , chief speakers of the occaMon will be 1 , State Secretary George TV. Smith; i, State Vice President Maxon and Dis- ' trict President H. H. Young, of Atlan- , | tic City. The committees in charge of I ( arrangements are making prepara- 1 , tions for a record crowd; and the re- ; . freshments will be of the most tempt- j , ing kind. • ( SUNDAY SCHOOL WEEKLY | I REPORT 1 First M. E. Show Increase , The First M. E. Sunday School re- ; ports progress. The returns show ant' increase of four over the preceding ! , Sunday, and an increase of 26 over] ( the previous year. This is highly sat- , : isfactory. showing the School is under ( the supervision of an efficient staff of , 1 officers. The late Col. Roosevelt is j , reported to have said on an occasion, that the character of a community can be better judged from its Sunday1 . Schools than by any other means. Last Sunday the Men's Bible Class ' ' reports 24 present, and the Ladies' i \ Bible Class an attendance of 14. We ) ) will keep these figures in mind antici- 1 pating a further increase in all departments on the coming Sunday. THE KIND OF MEN WHO MAKE A TOWN The Public spiritolness shown by Paul M. Spiecker, proprietor of the] Fleetwood Hotel cannot be too highly]; commended. During the entire winter Mr. Spiecker has kept an open cstab-' lishment to accommodate primarily j, the large number of workmen who Jiave_b««iemp!pyedherc. Ocean City has for over a year en-i joyed a building boom unparralleled in • its history-. Without proper provision for the workmen thus required the;. town would have been far less pre- j pared than it is to cope with the in-]' creased number of visitors expected I this season.' •SENTINEL ADS BRING RESULTS I

CITY COMMISSIRNERS f| - — fort Contracts Opened. Boardwalk Petition Refused Ordinance Passed Monday afternoon at the City Hall, i the City Administration met to open - and quotations received for sup- ' plying new fire hose. Under resolu- , tion it has decided the same should be ' referred for schedule to the City ent girieer, and be again taken up for de- ■ cision at the next meeting. [ j Tenders were also opened for paint- ! ing the exterior of the Music Pavilion ' ) on the Boardwalk. Referred to the 1 1 City Engineer for examination, it was ' finally by resolution decided to accept ' the bid tendered by William "Kautch1 1 man, for $444.00. Ordinance 188, authorizing the At- ' City Railroad Company, to operate railroad tracks across Second street, Simpson avenue. Haven avenue ' and the alley southeast thereof, came ' | up for the third and final reading and ] passed. j Ordinance 189, was then introduced ! ! for first and second reading. Under resolution it was decided the said ; ordinance should come up again for ) final reading at a meeting to be held .April 10. 1922. '[ The Mayor, Joseph G. Champion, ;j reported that there were two motor r! cycles owned by the dty for which they had no service; and at his sug- ' gestion the City Clerk was instructed '* advertise the same for sale. The request coming from the Reliance ' Company, seeking a permit authoriz1 ing them to continue their Auto-buss ' line to Cape May was considered, and I at the suggestion of the City Solicitor ® granted. W. S. Shrivel-, presented n petition from the interested parties re- " ; questing the City Commissioners, to widen the Boardwalk between §th and 9th streets. On presenting the petition Mr. Shriver drew attention of the" Commissioners that there would unquestionably be great congestion of tiraffic at the impiedUte plhcc mentioned. He asked iiLthcNjiterest of f j tHa^riQ' that the BoaMwaJk^Ja. wide ened 10 feet at the specificst-Mace. |f and added he had volunteered \A r sonally ijefjay'thc expense ■ffTniovin'g - ! his owrr"pavilion. Speaking on behalf y j of tHe Comnfijsioner.s collective! y o Mayor-' Champion reminded the petitioners that when it was proposed -: some ifite yMi to xrtden The Boardo walk at the place indicated, they tljem!i selves had. objected. He further calF" c ; ed their attention to the fact, that - ] even now one of the interested prop- - ) erty owners, M. Rowlands, had written rl the Commissioners a .letter which amounted virtually to a protest against the project, unless the city undertook t-> defray tie cost of nv ® j moving his pavilion.

PAST PRESIDENTS TALK , YOUNG MEN'S PROGRESSIVE ' ; LEAGUE REVIEW HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION Once every year the Past Presidents ; I, 'of the Young Men's Progressive) n League are given an opportunity to' >- air their views in the form of a rei- sume of the "things attempted, and ; ,e the things done," during their term i- of presidency. This is a greater privi- >- lege than is accorded even to. the Expresidents of the United States. Mr. ^ Taft once remarked that an Ex-presi- , n dent of. America was the "most de- 1 le fund creature imaginable: dead as an; Egyptian I'haroah, but denied the rites )t of interment." The Past Presidents of the League are very much in evi- j deuce and demand. With true . sagacity the League recognizes the j. value of the experience gained by j ,1 them during their yefir of office. | Moreover, the Annud meeting secures 1 |P for the acting President the hearty co,1 operation of a body of men tried and! tested, thereby giving to the office 1(l something in the nature of an Apos,r tolic Succession.

ONE THOUSAND MILES OF REAL ADVERTISING !j Gyeat Project Magnanimously Conceived by Automobile Bridge Company

j] The City "Automobile Company, op-fl : erhting riirough their committee, con-" | stituted of Dr. Allen Corson, Chair- ' | man, Harvey Y. Lake. Otis M. Town- ' send, have placed the citizens of Ocean c City under a life-long debt of graditude for the splendid spirit of civic pride and interest materializing in their $100 Road Sign Contest. \ Without solicitation, voluntarily, they arc undertaking a work wjhtch ! , has entailed upon them already an ex-., penditure of over a $1,000. They were | ( under no greater obligation to do this ! ( than any other organization or indi- : ( , vidua! in the city. The results which j 1 must follow the extensive ad vertising ; ( of the resort will benefit all; must j doubtless benefit many more than it will the persons represented in the ( . Company. I Their liberality, thpir keen fore- 1 j ' sight and patriotic zeal cannot be overl j praised. The future development ami , | progress of the city was the sole ob-] | |! jective in Fiew; they have set an exji ample worthy of emulation by every ! , I other body and organization in the ; , j] If the persons forming the Automo- \ i| bile Bridge Company carried their u I scheme no further, they have succeed-. < j| ed in publishing the wonderful fea- i ) lures of Ocean City as an ideal sumj nier seaside resort, the entire length , I I and breadth of the land — a stupendous i Undertaking. I In announcing the contest 10,000 of ' j the posters were distributed for display bi*oadcast; 2,000 to as many Banking Houses, 2,000 through High Schools, 2,000 for publication and comment in as many newspapers. Every Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis ■ ' or Rotary Club in the country received ] Ample proof of the wide publicity ; : i secured is found in the 'act that the contest has drawn 110 entries, hailing from almost every State in the Union. As already stated If no further acI tion in the matter were followed by It the Automobile Bridge Company, it has been a wonderful boost to Ocean g City, for as may be ascertained by

/ ■ I referring to the postpr, the Committee .lin charge have emphasized ofily those particular features of the town and community which appeal to the bettei ! class of people. Glancing at this poster, undesirable.- . will give Ocean City a wide berth. It. ' offers no inducement to them, the' moral atmosphere is to highly oxygenized for their health. 'but to the desirable person Ocean 1 City must appeal as the "City Ideal." The natural features requisite to re- " ] cupcration and rest, good water, perfect sanitation, pure nir and a wonbeach are innumerated. Hec- ' reation for every Sent of mind, is tab- : ulated; quiet innocuous amusements. ' fitted for clear miads are specified. _ Above all the poster emphasizethe American Sabbath is revered j in Ocean City, and t'le sanctity of the ' circle protected. In brief the ' poster is a masterpiece of sagacious ' advertising unrivaled by anything we ' ever seen. We learn that the contest award ' j will soon be made known. About 12 • entrees have been selected for final examination. The winning poster then - will be distributed and displayed upon •- all roads within a radius of 1,000 miles ■■ of the city. The results which may be • anticipated are unimaginable. We predict that for years to come, i magnificent public spirit, and • sagacity of the Automobile Bridge Will be commented upon as a landmark in [ the history of Ocean City. , SEND THEM IN I Send those little personals about your friends, the family yourself , to the Sentinel, bat be sure to get I them to the office not later than Tuesday noon. .
