Millville Moss May Cut Cost of Living Millville, Dec., 20. —Believing that spaghnum, a species or moss, which has been widely used for food, is growing in this locality, an inquiry was made of the City Commission to day by a Boston concern which mixes the nioss with molasses, as to what the prospects are for gathering large quantities, with Millville as a shipping point. Dr. Joseph G. Lipman, of the State Experimental Station, at New Bruns wick, the letter stated, had Informed the company that the moss grew in the bogs and moors here in abund ance. The moss was formerly secured from Holland, but the industry there has been suspended on account of the war. Central High Notes The Christmas Argus appeared yes terday and is one of the neatest issues of the Blue and Gray paper ever pub lished. The editorials are clever and the sport write-ups are well done. The observations are exceptionally flue and the society is right up to the minuto. The following stories appear: "The Spirit of Christmas," by Bernard Wert, '17: ( "One Good Turn," by liernarda MrCormlrk, '1"; "Sis," by Esther Johns, 'l7, and "Ye Olde Time Letter," by Margaret Koster, 'l7. The poem. "One Hundred Lines," although anony mous, Is attracting much attention and Is excellent. Business Manager Cald- WEDNESDAY EVENING, well has some fine ads, which are of great interest to all Central students. The students deserve much credit for publishing the Argus, which is consid ered the best high school paper in the state. The H. A. Society will hold a sub scription dance this evening in Han shaw s Hall. A large attendance is ex pected. The first of the reports were issued from the otlice late yesterday after noon.

MISTLETOE KISS HIGHER PRICED Holly Wreaths Advance, but Old-Fashioncd Kind Are Easy to Make Kissing in the good old time-honored way beneath the mistletoe will doubt less be rare this year. Not becauso the city's maidens are not as pretty as in former years, but because the price of mistletoe has increased 50 per cent. Shy boys who rely on catching a coy miss in an unguarded moment beneath the mistletoe must lirst raise funds to bait the trap. Christmas trees also have' gone up in price, so railroad men iiere are planning to bring trees from the sur rounding country. Holly also costs from 20 to 4 0 cents a wreath, but that is a small matter, as it walk along any of the nearby mountain roads will enable you to make the good old-fashioned wreaths the only kind the older generation knew—of laurel leaves and partridge berries. And what's more, a trip for such a wreath will add much to the enjoyment of your Christmas dinner. $1,250,000 to Be Cost of Reading Tunnel to End Crossing Danger Reading, Pa., Dec. 20.—The com mittee on streets of the Chamber of Commerce made public yesterday its deferred report on the plan to elimi nate the Reading Railway's grade crossings through the center of the city. Its estimate of the cost is $1,250,000, which includes $450,000 in property damages. The carrying out of the plan would restore Seventh street, which is now occupied by tracks, to the munici pality. It involves the driving of a tunnel from the southern end of the city to the company's main station to the north. Seventh and Penn streets, where thousands of persons pass every day and which has been described as one of the worst grade crossings in the state, would be done away with. While the cost is given by the Cham ber of Commerce committee at $1,250,000, it is recognized it will be much more, and it is generally ad mitted that, no matter what the amount, it will be a good investment.

Utter, 61 years old, rancher of Walla Walla avenue and former pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, miraculously escaped from being gored to death by a maddened bul by quick presence of mind. Mr. Utter, as he was accustomed to do, had gone to the barn lot to catch the bull, a three-year-old Jersey, by throwing a rope around its neck and snubbing it to a post. As he approach ed, the bull charged him. He did not have time to reach safety in the barn so ho sidestepped. The bull whirled and with lowered head charged again. Knowing that he could not escape by jumping, Mr. Utter threw his arms around the hull's neck and hung on. The hull tossed him up in the air and threw him on the ground on his back.

Mr. Utter held on to the ring and I the bull turned a complete somersault, landing on its back. It was then an ; easy matter to escape. 'Aside from being bruised from the fall, Mr. Utter is suffering no ill effects. NO 11007.K FOR OWLS WIKO Oil!

Select Good Lumber even for the small jobs You start an endless chain of spending 1 when you use "Cheap" lumber. It "gives" here, "wears" there, springs, buckles, warps and in the end costs you a great deal more than the better lumber. Don't let the price influence you when you buy lumber which you want to last a long time. ; ' t United Ice & Coal Co. Forster & Cowdcn S- 5
