Doth the butchers and the public from
the fact that more meat is sold. This
necessity of the hard working man has
been too high in the past and there is
now no good reason why consumers
should pay exhorbitant prices.

erly Building and Loan Association
next Monday evening, vote will be
taken on striking out Section I'd, Of
Articles Xxx of the Constitution. II
is the opinion of the officers of the or

several months earlier than by the
present plan, thus being benefit to
the borrower and non-borrower.

MT. HoAy Dispatch.
Mr.. Edison says he receives an aver
age of 1000 letters daily, many of
which contain offers of marriage with
his daughter. He has recently finished
an application of the photograph to
the clock mechanism, whereby a pho
nographic cylinder, properly inscribed
and arranged within the clock, in place
of bell, will announce the hour in a
silvery voice. Arrangements are
being made to place the clock on the
market for the Christmas trade.
Careless business men, if we have
any such should read with profit the
following decision recently given by the
United States Supreme court "When
the drawer has drawn his check in
such a careless and incomplete manner
that material alteration may be read
lily accomplished without leaving a
perceptible mark or giving the instru-
ment suspicious appearance, he him
self prepares the way for fraud, and, if
committed, he, and not the bank
should suffer"
An exchange has asked if it is mes
cessary for school children to carry such
a large number of books home with
them when they return from school at
the close of the day. Whether this is
a necessity or not we know many par
ents are busy until nearly bedtime
bel ping their children with their les
sons. 1t wasn't so few years ago and
children knew their lessons, too. An
authority says that children should not
be given lessons to study after school
hours as it is injurious.
A compilation of all the school laws
Of the State, including those passed last

and regulations for the government Of
school officers, various decisions given
| by the State Superintendent on matters
submitted to him and the blanks and
forms prepared for the use of school
officers. The book is very useful
one for all persons engaged in school
work.
Those Of our farmers who are trou-
bled with the hordes of gunners that
overrun their land, may take lessons
from the farmers of Bergen county.
An organization has been formed to be
called the Farmers Game Protective
Association, of Bergen County," for
the purpose of resisting the gnnners,
who they say, tear down stone walls
to reach the retiring rabbit, corral
quail in the farmers barnyards to
shoot them, and do not stop at burning
forest trees the more readily to capture
the coon and possum,"
The popularity of "Mr. McGinty"
is becoming daily more apparent here
abouts In fact, he is referred to by
nearly everybody, until the mere sound
of his name is beginning to become
tiresome to the innocent victims of that
mythical parsonage. "McGinty's"
hair-breadth escapes and comical ad-
ventures when confined to the minstrel
show are all right, but we protest
against dragging that individual about
the streets. Give "Mr. McGinty" Il
rest. Don't blame every little thing
that goes wrong upon his burdened
shoulders
