Made In Advance of Court QEORGR DICKINSON of Patch- j v -* ogue , u one-armed man , told Judge Purmnn in the County Court at ltiverhcad Friday that he is cured of stealing chickens , and on his prom- ise to stay out of chicken coops not his own he was let go with the time already served in jail , about six weeks: His pica was , guilty to unlaw- ful entry. William A,. Schnepf of• Huntington pleaded guilty to abandonment of his child , giving us * excuse that his wife did not want him any more. He said he really wanted to live with her and to take care of his 12 year old daugh- ter , but his wife packed his clothes anil ordered him out. Schnepf is 35 years old and said he always had had a job. _ Judge Furman postponed final disposition of his case and directed an officer to interview Mrs. Schnepf . in an effort to reunite the couple.. ' William Stevenson of Westhamp- ton offered a similar plea when ar- raigned for _ abandonment , declaring he and his wife had a mutual agree- ment to separate. She changed her mind and had him arrested , he said , and now she has changed her mind back again and wants her husband back. He is willing he said, so Judge Furman postponed disposition until Mrs. Stevens also is interviewed by an officer. Several ! bf the civil actions , were announced as having been settled out of court since the notes of issue were filed. Intent on having a fire to keep warm last Friday an 0-iU Street wo- man of a liberal turn of mind that also is a bit peculiar in some of its manifestations started out to make one in her yxrd and used the furniture in her home and other household ar- ticles as fuel. Neighbors called the . police who in turn notified the local deputy sheriffs. They were unable to do anything since the woman has been officially pronounced sane on various occasions , but neighbors finally pre- vailed upon her to cease using her furnishings for such, purposes.

This contest is conducted by a group of prominent Patchogue busi- ness houses , to determine who are the cutest children , from tiny babes up to seven years old, as Indicated by the vote they get from their families and friends from now until Christ- mas. . Voting coupons are issued liy these merchants free with ordinary purchases , the slips to be filled out with the child' s name> and address and placed in locked ballot boxes found in the various establishments, While in the past two,years ' con- tests the adult advisers of some of the tiny contestants have deemed it ad- visable to cast only a part of their vote , to make a showing, and hold some back for the final burst , there are arguments ' against this , the most potent being that it) is a case of put- ting off a smaller and more certain chance of gain in prospect of a larger and less certain one. The , child within the Patchogue school district and the child in the contest area outside this district whose vote shows the largest gain each week gets a special ?5 cash prize. Two of such prizes have , already been award- ed , for the opening week of the con- test , up to Saturday night , though the event only began on Wednesday.

The first game was between the girls ' soccer team and a girls ' alum- nae tea m , won by the latter , 2-1. Next came a battle between the Oyster Bay high school soccer- outfit nnd Patchogue which ended in a 1-1 tie. There followed the opening formality, then the Southampt&n-Patchogue football game in which the visitors were victorious , 27-0. There was an unusually festive air to the games , with plenty of flags and horns in the , crowd , and uniformed cheer leaders leading the rooting. Some students ran a \hot dog \ stand just inside the main gate , and on the edge of the field near there sat the Patehogue-Plymouth Mills band , which made music before the games and occasionally during the play, marching once around the quarter- mile track as the high spot of the day was reached. All the members of the board of education were on hand excepting President Frank Guttridge , who had to go to Chicago on business, and Superintendent Sheridan Linn and High. School Principal P. M. Proctor were also in the official group.

Arriving at the mouth of the river last week, for two days and nights the machine worked there , since the entrance to the river has become so filled in with silt and sand as to offer a. serious obstacle to large boats with- out skillful piloting. The debns that was brought up from the bottom of the river at this point was deposited ' on the west side of the bulkhead /to fill in the low spot there and this will he further filled ire later. ' After opening the mouth of the river the dredge h*s moved part way up to about the foot of LaureV Street where it is now working, and from that point it will work north to the end of the channel , dredging out a wide place near the foot of Mulford Street where Francis Marran is to build a private dock for visiting craft to tie up ' to while being fueled. The dredge is of the hydraulic pressure sand sucker type , all of the work being done under water and no scoop being used to lift the silt from the river bed.
