A visit to the old home is one of tn.

The Senators who voted against the
anti-mosquito bill and killed it beyond
hope OF resurrection at this session OF the
Legislature, made a most grievous tlun-
der. Their jibes and filings at the measure
as freak" legislation and as scheme to
exterminate the surplus were uncalled for,
lacked humor and indicated that the
speakers had given little consideration to
the subject. The Jersey mosquito ID nc
joking matter. 1t is pest greater BY fal
than the San Jose scale or noxious weeds,
which have received consideration at the
hands Of the lawmakers. The investiga-
tons of scientists have demonstrated, es
pecially in the past year or two, that it is
possible to diminish, if not entirely ex
terminate, the sting insect that has made
the name of New Jersey byword The
researches already conducted by the State
entomologist were of such character
that they gave promise, If continued, Of
solving the problem of how to rid this
commonwealth of the most pestifsrou,
species of mosquitoes. The appropriation
asked for carrying on these experiment.
was very modest. The expenditure o.
the sum of $4,000 would have been {
small price to pay for the discovery Of al

very unfavorable to theatrical enterprise.
The value of the Florenz Troupe, the stel-

placed at the head of so many thoroughly
good specialties. 1t is to be the greatest
troupe now performing in America, their
feats including many that have hitherto
been untried by other performers. The

almost succeeded in fling one of the links

Justice Baldwin, of Camden, com
mitted Walter Hunter, in default Of bail,
on charge of assault and battery on
Mary Mungan. The latter's closed and
discolored eye was offered in evidence as
proof of her assertion that the defendant
struck her. Hunter denied the charge
and said Mrs. Mungan's husband must

The latest innovation by Principal
Maurice ii. Small, of the Passaic High
school, does not meet with the approval of
the parents of the pupils. The boys from
the school have been organized after
school hours into squads, and, headed by
one of the older boys, sent out to clean
the streets. They pick up all refuse and
waste paper and put the stuff where the
city garbage men can find it. Eight
blocks near the school are gone over each
day. The parents of the lads have com
planned to the board of education, and
that body will consider the subject at its
next meeting.
One day last week young colored
boy walked into a grocery store at Red
Bank and asked for match with which
to light cigarette, The clerk rather
shortly said: We've matches to sell; none
to give away" Nothing daunted the
ebony tinted shaver produced copper
and asked to buy box Of matches, which
was given to him. Taking few from
the box, he handed it back to the clerk
with the remark: "Put that box back ON
your shelf. and the next time gentle
man comes in and asks for match give
him one of mine" With that he started
out whistling, seemingly just as happy
as If he had received letter from home
with money in it.

Creek Improvement.

Congressman Gardner is greatly inter-
ested in obtaining an appropriation for
the improvement of Rancocas river In
discussing the failure of the river and har-
Dor committee to include it in the bill this
year he said:
I'VE started out some years ago by hav-
ing the river included in the appropriation
for the Delaware river since it is one of
the feeders of that waterway. Later on
the plan was changed to separate appro-
priation at different years. Some dredg-
ing was done, but the work was never
actually completed although the engi-
neers seem to have way of reporting a
project complete when the money is ex-
hausted or the plans under which they
have been working have been carried out
AS result members of the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors could never under
stand why more money was asked for a
waterway which had been reported as
completed. l think the channel could
be placed in proper shape for $1,000. and
If it is not put in the bill by the House
hope to see it placed there by the Senate. +"

ST. PAUL. Aug GA syndicate OF Amer
leans, led by T. B. Hoard Of Nebraska, a
wealthy cattleman, Will establish the hrst
bonanza wheat farm in Canada between
Craik and Davidson. on the Prince Albert
branch Of the Canadian Pacific. Forty
thousand acres Of land has been purchased
Al an outlay Of $500 900 and another $780,
900 has been set aside by the syndicate
for improvements. None Of the methods
which made the great wheat farms Of
North Dakota famous have YETI been ap-
piled in Canada and wheat-raising has
been confined entirely to small areas and
to the work Of small farmers.
The syndicate includes r. ]. Waddeli Of
Aurora, Neb., another wealthy cattisman,
and capitalists from Iowa ard Illinois. One
whole township is to be converted into a
monster wheat field and the greater por-
tion OF township adjoining is to become
q portion OF the syndicate's interests.
Mr.. Hoard and his associates win intro
duce steamplows and other modern farm
machinery.
The syndicate will own it's own elevators,
two OF which are to be built this fall at
Garvin in the center Of the new farm. II
will also operate nine elevators at adja-
cent pSints.
