National Park, N. J is nil excited
ngaln!
This time it is Sunday bnseball which
is agitating the. minds of the towns
people. Last night the Pros nnd the
Antis lined up in separate meetings.
The Pros held their meeting in the
town dance hall, where the police force
of National Park was holding n dnncc
to raise funds; the Antls held theirs
in the Methodist Kplscopal church.
The Pros had an attendance of 000.
The Antls had thirty men nnd women
In nttendancc.
The Pros had three members of
council J so tllfl the Antls, but the Sun
day baseball enthuslnsts got the edge
by the attendance of Mnyor Edgar
Waters.
The Pros listened to speeches and 1ft
it go nt that; the Antis got busy, ap
pointed n committee, and agreed to take
legal action within the week.
All was peace and music nt the dance
hall meeting, but the Antis threw three
people )iit for not agreeing with their
ideas.
No decision was rendered, but, to an
outsider, it looked like n draw.
The meeting of those In favor of
Sliudny baseball was presided over by
Borough Marshal Harry "Woldon.
Speeches were made by Mnyor Wnters
and by Councllmen .Inekson nnd Dicks.
All three officials declared that they
would support Sunday ball provided it
was the .desire of the majority of the
inhabitants of Nntionnl Park.
Tho meeting of the Antls resulted
ft nm n game of ball plncd Inst Sunday
the llrst since Council pnssed In favor
of Sunday ball lost dune und was pre
Milled over by the Itev. Charles P.
Southwlek, pastor of the church. Coun

They were nil ii1cut when the Council
passed the Sundov baseball legislation

opimsed to playing the game on the
Sabbath.
After several speeches, the Hcv.
Southwlek called the roll of those In
nttendancc on the question of their
opinions. All except three hlgnlflcd that
they opposed Sunday ball. One of the
three, n young mnn whose brother ploys
on the Nntionnl Pnrk team, got up nnd
went out; the other two, a man nnu

The next order of procedure wus the

Less Than the Fair Regular Prices
Let us start at the corner of Market and Eighth Streets on the Third

FURNITURE that we believe to be the most attractive in this city Suits
from $195.00 to $2975.00, with dozens in between, in designs of the Italian
Renaissance, Louis XV, Queen Anne, William and Mary, and other reproduc
tions of the masters of the Seventeenth ana uignteenm uenmries.
Further along this side is the BEDROOM FURNITURE, in an unsur
passed assortment of the Period designs and of the wood-finishes in high favor
for bedrooms, all beautiful, all practical, and all at reduced prices. Here also
are numerous odd Bureaus, Chiffoniers and Bedsteads at worth-while savings.
Through the archway, in the East Centre Store, is a truly matchless disv
play of upholstered LIVING-ROOM FURNITURE matchless in the good
judgment with which it has been selected, and also in the values. Nearby, -is
a most delightful grouping of the various novelty pieces Tea Wagons, Mir
rors, Chairs, Tables, Trays, Foot-rests, Spinet Desks, Secretaries, Cabinets,
etc., all under regular prices.
In the West Centre Store (Filbert Street and Centre) is the best collec
tion of SUMMER FURNITURE in Suits and single pieces for porch, cot
tage and lawn and this, too, is all marked at reduced prices for the August
Sale.
COMPARE That will be our earnest advice throughout this montj.
for there is no better way to satisfy your mind that, while Furniture
prices are higher everywhere than a few years ago, they are lower here than
in other stores handling equally good Furniture.
