SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Last Saturday Mrs. Charles
Bridge, of Dingman Twp, started
TO go after her husband who was
working for G OFT, back of Coma
shaugh, and reaching the Ray
mondskill at Shanno's, being some-
what unfamiliar with the country,
turned up the hill at that point.
Discovering her mistake, after 60
ing a short distance, she attempted
to turn the team around, when the
wagon was upset and herself and
her two children who were with her
thrown out. Mrs. Bridge had her
collar bone broken and two ribs
fractured, besides being otherwise
bruised. The little boy had his
arm broken, but the other child, be-
yond few bruises was not injured.
The team, which was thrown down,
was somewhat hurt, and the wagon
and harness badly broken.

HOW TO MAKE ROADS.

The Montague correspondent
wishes to hear from us on roads.
AS our views have been given so
often it seems like threshing over
old straw to even revert TO it. Brief
ly the first and most important
thing before making permanent i'm
provements on the roads is to obtain
as easy grade as possible, either
by cuts or fills, or in places moving
the road bed to avoid hills. The
latter might inconvenience a few
people but the general good should
prevail in these matters. The ques-
tion of material we believe is now
conceded to have been narro we'd
down to q choice gravel or crushed
stone for country traffic. In the
Delaware tiers of townships it will
cost as much or more to coat all
the roads with gravel as it would
with crushed stone for q term of 20
years. Where gravel of a certain
thickness will wear years, the
same thickness of crushed stone un
der like conditions of wear will en-
dure for 20 years and give the best
surface during that time. 1t has
always been my contention that
private parties should not be expect
ed to keep the public roads in decent
condition for traffic that the use of
public money on the roads should
have a we'll defined purpose and
their permanent improvement al
ways be paramount. The Delaware
tier of townships are able to, and
should own a rock crushing plant
The material is convenient and
cheap. Imagine if you can the add.
ed beauty of our farms and the
roads with the unsightly stone rows
removed and crushed for perman
ent roads. Consider also that the
snowbills would be from % to 4
only of what they have been here
tofore. Many say we are too poo
to have such roads. 1 say we ar,
not rich enough to do without them

THE MATAMoRAs FRIDGE.

A near by paper says that iron
rails were never laid across the old
bridge at Matamoras and that the
new bridge has the distinction of
having pass over it the first loco
motive and cars which ever crossed
the Delaware River at that point.
As to the locomotive we are not
certain, but think one did cross it.
Iron rails were laid across the bridge
and many will recall seeing empty
cars standing on 1t, on some oe-
casions nearly if not quite all the
way across.

GOOD FEEDING.
By The Late 8. W. Palmer.

One of the greatest mistakes of
small farmers and rather poor peo-
pie is scanting the feed of stock
more or less. 1t is impossible to
bring something out of nothing, and
as the major part of the feed goes
to sustain life and make growth, it
is only beyond this we get profit.
The more we can get almost any
animal to eat the better, There are
exceptions to this of course but moth
ing makes toward profit like gener-
GUS feeding. 1t costs, but nothing
like the cost of keeping stock with
no profit.
Care of stock has so much to do
with the keep, that it may be called
a part of feeding. Many do not
know or at least consider that nature
maintains, or constantly strives to
maintain certain amount of animal
heat. Therefore whatever heat
may be retaine or prevented from
being needlessly thrown off is exact
ly so much gained.
We enjoy our cosy rooms by
good fire and the dumb animals en-
JOY warmth jnst as much. Think
of drinking water through a hole
in the ice in winter ard standing in
the bitter wind until normal heat
returns. In the fall is time to pro =
vide warm stables with no draughty
cracks and there are dollars saved
by little felt paper lining stables
and places where animals are kept
in winter.

OBITUARY
JACOB KLEINHANs.

About two months ago decided
evidences of the inroads of age,
aided by disease, indicated in an un-
mistakable manner that the long,
and, for many years an active life,
of our friend was near its termina-
tion. Mr.. Kleinhans was born in
Belvidere, Warren County, N. j.,
Sept. 10, 1921, and came to this
County in 1851, locating in Bloom
ing Grove Township, where he pur-
chased a large body of land, erected
a tannery, saw mill, store house,
and several dwellings, and carried
on very extensive and profitable
business. He cleared a large farm,
gave employment to many men,
and was eminently the foremost
man in that section in advancing
the material interests and pros.
perity of the township. He also
made many warm friends among
the residents in that community,
nearly all of whom have now gone
to their final reward. He continued
his active operations until 1872,
when, having acquired by close ap-
plication and sagacious business
methods competency, and the tan
ming business being on u decline, he
purchased the large and handsome
property formerly owned by DR..
E. Halliday, on Aun Street, and, re-
linquishing business, removed to
his new home here whore he has
since resided.
He was man of business integ-
rity, shrewd sense, excellent judg-
ment and liberal public spirit.
Since coming to Milford he has
lived life of retirement, enjoying
the fruits of his years of labor and
close application, and devoting his
time to the care of the spacious and
beautiful grounds surrounding his
residence.
He was twice married his first
wife was Sarah Ann Bells, who
died in 1866, and the surviving chill.
dren by that marriage are: Mary
unmarried Emily, widow of B. f
Van Etten; Annie, wife of George
Salmon, residing in New York, and
Lima, wife of Henry Wolf, living in
Iowa. A son Henry died several
years ago at Hawley.
His second wife was Mary E., {
daughter of the late Hon. Henry s
and Hannah Bull Mott who will
the following named children alst
survive: Jacob, professor in a pre-.
paratory school in Baltimore, John
residing on the old homestead il
Blooming Grove, Bertha at home
Edgar at Hoboken, N. J. Thre,
brothers of deceased are still living
one, John, residing at San Fran
cisco, Cal, another, jackson, al
Topeka, Kansas, and Daniel at Bel
videre, N. j., and one sister, Mrs
Sidney Graves, residing at Eas
fOrange, N. }.
The funeral will take place to-da.

Ann Street, at ? O'Clock and inter

Editor Graphic:
Thinking that a few items from
this neck O. the woods might be inter-
esting to the readeres of your valuable
paper, pencil these lines.
In the first place geographical
sketch of our neighborhood will be in
order. We live in the beautiful and
fertile valley of the historic Rattle
Snake, near where it merges from
KiOwa and enters Edwards county.
Our people are imbued with that I'M
adulterated Kansas "push' which
guarantees success. Farming and
stock raising are their principle occu-
patiOns, but of late the stock business
seems to be taking the lead. Our liter
airy talent has in no wise been neglect
ed, our people having conducted a
rousing lyceum all winter where all of
the mOmentOus questions of the day
have been ably discussed. Our school
is as good as could be expected in a
sparsely settled district like this, and
we hope ere long, to improve in this
line. The school closed Feb. Is, after
II short term of only four months, but
Uhe work was we'll done and fully
abreast of the times. The board en-
ployed Miss Winnie Mayhem as teach
er, but being somewhat in doubt as to
her qualifications, exacted an iron
clad contract, which was uni1inchiuyl,
accepted and carried out to the letter.
having taught out the term without a
jar Or discOrd, or word of fault from
either parent or scholar.
Some of our people meet with the
people of the Eureka district at the
Eureka school house, March IA and
organized a Sunday school, with 81
l. Fell as superintendent, which means
success. After some discussion it was
decided to use Cook union literature.
School will meet on the first Sunday
in April at 3 o'clock p. m. We hope
all will feel it their duty to attend and
make it a success.
AS to politics Mr.. Editor. I must
say "we're" badly mixed, but think
we can WELD them in line before cleo
6ion, for the white metal and it's cham
piOn.
VIII at is o. K. and our farmers are
expecting a large harvest.
