Too Prompt IN HIS Application.

One Of the most interested parties in

When it was first reported that the
River road had gone into the hands of
the Consolidated Road this gentleman
sat down and wrote President Clark
asking for the uperintendency Of the
new acquisition. After mailing the letter
he bought newspaper and read of the

Who closed their eyes till at dawn they woke.

Royal is placed first of the cream of tartar
powders, actual strength 1906 cubic inches Of

Every other powder tested exhibited much
lower strength than the Royal, the averages
being 80 per cent less.
Every other powder likewise showed the

The claim that this report shows any other powder Of
perior strength purity has been falsehoo
by the Government officers who made the tests.
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift

as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui

Arbor Day.

Arbor Day is approaching. If
everyone should observe this day
appropriately all the highways of
this country would be beautifully
lined with ornamental trees, and
soon Our counties and States would
have just as attractive driveways
as those of Europe. Every school
child should plant tree and care
fully guard it as it grows. Besides
being a pleasant reminder of
happy school days in years to come
it would add beauty to the land
scare. Parents should encourage
the children to this noble work.
Do not allow the other States to
outdo New Jersey in this grand
work.

April 18th is Right.

The in tricaciesof the game laws,
says the Middletown Press, are be-
wildering. One will soon be oblig-
ed to take lawyer with him when
he visits trout stream to keep
him posted as to what he may do
and what he must avoid. Here
we were supposing that the gen.
eral law of last winter fixing April
18th as the opening of the trout
season was the safe one to follow.
when along comes the Warwick
Ad0eyhser and reminds that the
Sullivan county Supervisors passed
a resolution making it unlawful to
fish in that county until May Ist.
A little later and the Livingston
Manor Ensign appears with the
Sullivan County law in full and
tell us not to be deceived. There
is nothing about trout in the law
referred to; and that the season
opens April 18th just as it does
elsewhere.

The Grocer Would Refuse.

Every line in newspaper costs
something, says a contemporary
If it is for the benefit of an indiyi-
dual it should be paid for If the
grocer were asked to contribute
groceries to one abundantly able
to pay for them he would refuse.
The proprietor of newspaper
must pay for the free advertising
if the beneficiary does not, and
yet 1t is one of the hardest things
to be learned by many that a news
paper has space in its columns to
rent and must rent to live. To
give away anything for less than
living rates would be as certainly
fatal as for a landlord to furnish
rent free.

The New Fish Hatchery

Information has just been receiv-
ed from Albany, that Gov. Flower
has signed a bill for a fish hatchery
to be located in Sullivan County.
This bill was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Richardson, and
in the House by Assemblyman
Messiter, and both these gentlemen
should have equal credit for secur-
ing to the lower tier of counties,
this long needed want. The 1oca-
tion of the hatchery will be decided
by the Fish Commissioners, who
will doubtless select the best dis
tributing point, where a proper
temperature of water can be Sc
cured.
This season the Sullivan County
Fish & Game Protective Associa-
ton have made an extra effort to
procure all the trout fry possible
from the Caledonia hatchery, and
the Association now has one hun
dred thousand (1oo, ,ooo) trout fry
in private ponds near Ellenville,
which are being taken care of at
their expense, and which will be
distributed in the streams through
out the county when they have
attained proper size.
The officials of the Ontario
& Western R'y Co. have also taken
an active part in securing from the
Fish Commissioners the awards
granted to private individuals
along the line of their road, and
have this year transported at con-
siderable expense, three car loads
of fish from the CalcdoniaHatchery
and planted the same in streams
along their line. Several hundred
thousand lake fry have also been
put in the lakes.
With new hatchery in Sullivan
County, better progress can be
made in stocking streams through
out the central part of the State,
and it is expected that in very
few years. Sullivan, Delaware,
Ulster, Broome and adjacent
counties will afford the best ang-
ling between Maine and the Rocky
Mountains.
Fishermen who are not members
of the Sullivan County Fish &
Game Protective Association will
help the cause along by joining
the same.

Would Benefit Employer and
EmplOye.

The movement which has been
agitated with greater or less sue
cess in all cities in regard to less
hours for business, has broken out
again in Jersey City and the adj
joining towns.
There ought to be no hesitancy
among the business community
about adopting the early closing
rule. Early closing is good thing
in more ways than one 1t allows
the proprietors and employees of
stores their evenings, to which
they are justly entitled, and it
lessons materially the expense of
doing business. The old rule of
keeping open stores and shops
until late at night never was a
good one and never was necessary.
The eleven hours from 2 in the
morning until in the evening are
sufficient to furnish time for the
transaction of all necessary busi-
ness. Every business, except the
saloon, can be carried on profit
ably by less. hours of work. 1t
would not be so cheerful, it is true,
for the evening promenaders, but
they are not buyers and so it
matters little. The clerk and
salesman would appreciate the re-
lease from the store, and the lect-
ures, concerts and social entertain
ments would be better attended.

In view of the possible outbreak

ary Inspector would be the proper
thing. to do. 1t should be his duty
to look after and inspect all dairy
products and animal food supplies
of every description. All this is
in accordance with the new law,
and it is matter which should
receive the careful attention of the
proper authorities. ~
