These summer evenings a large number of
citizens and farm hands gather on store steps
and corners to discuss business. crops. etc,
and frequently some OF their fellow beings are
warmly discussed, and many thoughtIess and
truthless things are said. We should always
remember that, "The most clubs are found I'M

Weaiher.Crop RulIeIIn.

The weather-crop bulletin for the week
ending Saturday, July 10, issued from the
Central office of the New Jersey Weather
Service, cooperating with the United
states Signal Service, is as follows:
"fhe rainfall during the last seven days
has been greatly deficient in all parts of
the State except Atlantic and Morris conn
ties; many stations report a total absence
during the week. The largest measure
ments reported for the week were Gillette,
Morris County, 2.20 inches. and Egg Har-
Dor City, Atlantic County, 1.3S inches.
Daring the first three days of the week
the temperature was decidedly above the
seasonal average, and on the last four days
it was below it. The range for the week
was about 80 degrees. In all portions of
the State the weather conditions have
been most favorable for the finishing up
Of the harvest. In nearly all the districts
during the week wheat, rye and hay nave
been safely stored. The latter crop is one
of the largest ever gathered in such prime
condition and of such good quality, the
yield being generally above the average of
several years. Oats continue to improve,
and hopes are now entertained that half a
crop may be secured. The excessive heat
during the first part of the week has affect
ed the growing crops injuriously in the
counties of Burlington and Gloucester,
where the rainfall for several weeks past
has.rbeen deficient. Cabbage worms are
beginning TO be seriously injurious. Pro
fessor Smith, of the State Experiment
Station, furnishes the following as the
best means of keeping them in check. II.
By busting thoroughly with fresh, air
Stacked lime, applied when the plants are
wet. 2. Busting thoroughly with X. o.
Dust when the plants are dry. 8. Spray
ing with pyrethrum water at the rate of
one ounce to one gallon of water. The lat
ter is the most satisfactory If properly ap-
piled, but it is extremely important that
the spray should have force enough behind
it to drive into the cabbage, so as to reach
all the Larvae. Applying with a sprink-
ling pot is wasteful and unsatisfactory.
Any application should be made as soon
as possible after the first appearance of in
jury"

Protection For state Doctors.

Many New York and Pennsylvania doc
tors are indignant over the Medical Exam
ination law of the State, which went into
effect on July 4. The law, unless on a
test case it be found unconstitutional, will
prevent doctors from outside OF New Jer-
sey from pTacticing at the summer resorts
OF the State. 1t requires that every physi-
clan seeking to practice within the limits
of New Jersey after its passage must sub
nit to a formal examination by State of
ficers. The following exemptions only are
made: Commissioned urgeons of The
United States army, navy or marine hos
pital service or regularly licensed physic-
ians or surgeons actually called from other
States or Territories to attend cases in New
jersey"
Physicians called in consultation or sum
moned to attend special cases were thus
relieved of the necessity OF passing an ex-
animation. All others, however, including
the hundreds from New York who reside
in the big hotels or cottages at the sea-
shore or inland towns of Jersey during the
summer, or own their own homes here,
are precluded from practising ia the State.
Even in case of an urgent sick call a New
York physician would, it is thought, vio-
late the law if he prescribed medicine Or
gave advice in the case unless he had been
examined by the local authorities.
Practice in violation of the law is pun
ishable by a fine of $50 to 800, or impris-
onment for ten to ninety days, or both.

The Old Hotel Again.

The short article we had last week in
regard to the different owners of the Ford
hotel property, prompted a friend to give
us some of his recollections about the old
corner. He tells us that Nicholas Bright
applied and obtained license about 1886,
'37 or '3S. Up to that time the only hotel
in the entire of the town was on the OPP
posite side of the street. the other being at
the extreme end of the town where Mich
olas Justice now lives.
Thomas Hammott, or Tommy Ham,
mott, as every one called him, kept the
house where French's hotel now stands.
and while he was a clever, kind-hearted,
easy-going sort of a man, lacked the need
full gift of management, and at times could
not control his visitors as he should, and
the consequence was that they sometimes
took entire possession of affairs, and al
though Tommy" was the landlord his GUS
toners had supreme charge.
Many thought that the town needed a
hotel conducted on a higher plan and with
less of the free and easy element in 1t than
''Tommy's" house, and Bright, who stood
well in the community, proposed that if a
sufficient number of respectable people
would sign for him he would build an ad-
dition to his house and apply for license.
IIb ItGttttu LHC htCoiui tiSptiNEtiASub
and made such additions to his house and
got his signers to his application for
license, which was duly granted by the
court. II must be remembered that he
was to keep a high class place, and to that
end he obtained some of the best folks in
town, church deacons and others of like
stamp, who were anxious 70 see a hotel
kept as it should be. As he was certain of
his license, he had prepared for his open
ing and, it is said, the boys got together
ard held high carnival on the opening
night, much to Bright's u~nhappiness and
discomfort, and to the regret OF the good
citizens who had assisted him in obtaining
his license. While the performance was
at its height, one Joshua Somers, whose in
ner sympathies were with the old house,
dropped in IN the crowd, and after sizing
up the company and their performances,
said to a friend at his side ''Ain't this a
hell of a temperance house?" Bright only
kept the place two or three years and then
rented it to d. S. Woodruff, who, we be-
lieve, was the landlord in 1910, during the
Tippecanoe times.

Anew Counterfeit Bill.

A new counterfeit of the United States
two-dollar silver certificate has begun to
circulate in New York and may be looked
for here in course Ola short time. The
issue is of department series 1886; check
letter B, 1868. The defects which will aid
in detecting the bogus bills are: Failure
to DOT the .i' in Register and to cross the
s't'' in States, both words being at the bot
tom of the bill; then the color of the seal
is a bright beick-red, instead of the dark
red of the genuine bill; the portrait ofGen-
eral Hancock is poorly executed, and the
cross Matching and portions of the lettering
are badly done; otherwise the bill is a de-
ceptive imitation. The errors on the two
letters si'' and 't' are the safest guides
for protection against the counterfeit.

Last week Hugh Grimishaw sold to Frank
Moore, OF Swedesboro, Il fine young Holstein
bull. On Il day Mr.. Moore came after the
bull, but before starting away With him IL
serted a ring IN its nose by which to lead or
drive 1t. The bull beloved piteously from
pain and fright when taken out of the yard.

feets OF the suns heat and exhaustion, the
bull went mad and u woman who CHANGED to

tacks of the Infatuated animal until they
fastened their ropes 10 some trees and went
after more help. Upon their return to where
