SATS LONG BEACH IS MO MONTB CARLO
DISTBTCT ATTOBBEY L J. SMITH SAYS HE NEVEB FOUND EVI¬ DENCE OF OAMBLOrO HOUSE ATBESOBT.
District Attorney Lewis J. Smith of Naaaau county scoffed at the idea of a gambling house being in full opera¬ tion at Long Beach. When told that a story had been published giving the facts, he said: "I have made an inves¬ tigation at Long Beach, as well as Sheriff Pettit, and there was nothing there to indicate that any gambling was going on, although it may have been going on before. If there is any complaint lodged with me to that ef¬ fect by a citizen of Long Beach I will at once act on any such complaint, but I do not intend to send men down there whenever there is a cry maue by newspapers-that gambling exists."
It developed, recently, however, that there had evidently been gam¬ bling before the raid of Sheriff Pettit last month, but that some one tipped off the house, which is outside the village limits, as an automobile was seen to leave the house heavily laden, quickly followed by a second, which taught flre, its load being transferred to the first car, which sped away. Later the second car was repaired and taken away.

TOWN SEEKS TO CHANCE ITS NAME
OBEAT NECK STATION THINBS LAST 'VOBD DO^" IT AN IN¬ JUSTICE — IS HANDICAP TO MAIL SEBVICE.
There is a movement under way to change tbe uame of Oreat Neck Sta¬ tion. Many residehta assert that the name belittles the community. They say that the name "Station," applied to any railroad stop, is taken to mean a place of no importance where trains stop on flag signal. The word "Sta¬ tion" is also a handicap to tbe postal service.
It is asserted that two-thirds of the mail of patrons of Oreat Neck Station goes to the Qreat Neck post¬ oflice on account of being addressed •'Great Neck."
Persons who write letters to resi¬ dents of Oreat Neck Station regularly are in the habit of sending the letters to the proper poStofBce, but the cas¬ ual correspondents who furnish the greatest part uf mis-directed mail cannot be informed of the distinction between the postoflice names.
BIG PICKLEIrOP
SEASON HAS BEEN SHOBTENED BY UNEXPECTED COLD SPELL.
While the cool weather for the past two weeks has helped potatoes and cauliflower it has been disastrous to the cucumber crop, which will be ma¬ terially shortened because of it.
However, up to this time the crop has yielded fairly well, not so good as last year, but enough to make it a profitable one.
At Kiverhead over 1,250,000 cu¬ cumbers have been salted up to date, but this is not as many as last year. At Calverton the count exceeds 7,- 500,000. At Jamesport cucumbers are being .salted for the first time this year. The count is expected to reach 1,000,000 before the season closes.
The pickle houses are paying Jli.25 per thousand for cucumbers.
