THE GREAT STORM.

Piled up snow, broken telegraphic
lines, blocked trains, deadly cold,
speak in louder tones, and with more
telling force than double or threble
loaded editorials, OF the great storm
and its whitening grasp and de-
structive result. The people, the
stock, all animated nature, echoes
and re-echoes in painful signs, and
pleaful prayers, the deadly grasp
and the hopeful deliverance. From
ocean to ocean, lake to lake, brooks
and rivulets, valley to mountain
peak, hovel to palace, nature brings
groans for mercy to Natures God;
thanks that it is not worse, and
prayers for surcease. 1t is a great
lesson to all; the well conditioned
and the hayward. Each, can turn
TO the other, and mark We: Each,
can learn of the other. In good
times, remember the storm, and in
days of sunshine, prepare.

in Newark 1922 a. M next day, re-
turning on Train No. s, leaving New

half, so that passengers have the
choice of paying the higher Pullman
rate and occupying Standard Car or
take advantage of the cheaper rate

These cars are new, have been es-
pecially constructed for this service,
and differ from the Standard Sleep
ing Cars only in being less elabor-
ately furnished. The seats are up
holstered in rattan, and the sleeping
berths, when made up, have all the
comforts and conveniences of the
Standard Cars.
Tickets will be on sale at regular

THE SCHOOL FUND.

An effort is being made to distri-
butte the large State school fund,
among the counties of the State,
with the idea OF making it useful in
the construction of county roads,
and other purposes. 1t presents q
very serious question, and we very
much doubt the propriety of dis
solving so valuable accumulation.
1t ls at least, a question, requiring
serious consideration before taking
action. Funds of this kind, are
easily expended, go much quicker,
eyanesce more rapidly, than saved.
The house and the home go out in
to nothipgness, more easily, than
the parent builded. Really, would
it not be better, instead of spending
this asset, to add thereto a million
or so more of money, and place it at
interest, thereby come as near as
possible to provide from its own
quiet earnings, an income that will
make the schools self supporting,
and enable the State to cease max.
ing levy by way of taxes? That
would relieve the tax payers and
furnish an unprecedented example
in the way of nurturing and build
ing up a practical, general school
system. Getting rid of a surplus,
spending the principal, can soon be
accomplished, building up, requires
sense, wisdom and enforces econo'
my in the place of waste. Think
over the subject carefully.
