d Many professions are en-
gagged in this lucrative business, both
in working out new ideas and in dress
ing the part and acting 1t out.
The persons who earn a livelihood
by planning or taking part in display
advertising call themselves "Illustra-
tors Consistently enough, they be
lieve themselves to be artists. And,
in sense, some OF them are.
When they do something-"do
stunts, as the boys say--besides mere
ly looking part, then the illustra-
tors become demonstrators: and the
demonstration generally leads life of
encore performances.
One would think the woman who
has for weeks and months, and per-

of white, steamlike whiffs, would be

thrive at it, and has the consolation
of knowing that she is a most thor

The announcement that Communication
rates have been ssreduced" is somewhat
OF an expensive April fool joke to those
citizens living along the Delaware River
Railroad who wish to ride to Philadel-
phia or ever to the local stations along
the road.
About three months ago Mr.. E. L.
Leonard and a committee of Paulsboro
citizens discovered that eight or ten
school children along the PENIS Grove
branch were paying a small sum more
than for similar distances on other
branches of the West Jersey and Sea-
shore Railroad. So the great boomers
and reformers bestirred themselves to do
great things for the travelling public. 1t
failed to enter their Uranium that while
half a dozen school children paid a small
sum more, the whole travelling public
was travelling cheaper.
Their appeals called the railroad au-
thorities attention to the fare schedule
which has been in existence for over
twenty years. The result is that while
eight or ten youths who attend school in
Philadelphia, will save a few dollars in
their yearly fare, the single and excur-
sion fares have been raised about SO and
so per cent. The monthly fares also
along the railroad have been increased.
1t will cost ST. a month more for a month
ly ticket from Penn's Grove to Oldmans.
Great is reform.

The LEGISLATURE

The legislature has been somewhat err
ratio on party measures recommended by
the Governor, but on Tuesday night there
was a caucus roundup, and the Republic
can Assemblymen decided to pass the
Primary Reform Bill which is one of
Governor Murphy's pet measures, al
though there Vas bitter opposition by
some party leaders. 1t passed both
Houses.
The Republican Senators held a caucus
and decided to put through the bill which
provides for a $40, 900, 600 trunk sewer to
carry the sewerage from the Passaic val
ley to New York bay. II is badly want
ed by Newark.
Another victory for the Governor was
the passing of a concurrent resolution
calling for the appointment OF a commits
sion OF five members to look into the pro-
ject of abandoning the Morris Canal.
neighborhood of the canal want it ADAM
islature for several years.
The Assembly passed a railroad COM
bine bill allowing all lines under the Le-
high Valley Company in New Jersey to
be merged.
Another important bill passed was that
providing that the State riparian COM
m~issioners may deed to Atlantic City the
beach front property. The property is
to be used for park purposes, the idea be-
ing to forever keep the oceanward side of
the famous boardwalk free of all build
ings save only the piers already construct
ed. This measure has already passed
the Senate and it is sure to become law.
The Senate also passed the House bill
approprlating $3.50 for experiments, in
connection with similar experiments to
be made by Pennsylvania, for the artific-
ial propagation of sturgeon.
Former Governors George Werts, John
W. Griggs and Foster M. Voorhees, have
been appointed commissioners to eX-
aInfne the proposition to abandon the
Morris Canal.
The report OF. the Commissioners to
settle the fisheries boundary dispute with
Delaware was ratified.
The annual appropriation bill for state
expenditures aggregates S., ZOO ,357. 23, an
increase.
A bill was passed authorizing another
Normal School in the upper part of the
State, but no appropriation was made for
it. $l25,0OO was appropriated for a new
domitory at the Normal School, Trenton.
The annual or regular appropriation
bill this year is for So, 979, 300. SO, an in
crease over last year of 1927, SOL. 66.
The supplemental bill, the items of
which become available for immediate
use, is for s., 021, 056. 25, an increase over
last year of $245, .25.
This increase is attributable to a gen.
eral disposition toward prodigality on
the part of the committee, which, with
numerous increases along most lines, has
included in the bill the following ex-
penditures which it has been pleased to
label Extraordinary disbursements"

Danger OF Colds aud Grip.

The greatest danger from colds and grip
is their resulting in pneumonia. If reason
able care is used, however, and Chamber
laln's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will
be avoided. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn of a single case
having resulted in pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that it is a certain preventive
OF that dangerous disease. 1t will cure a
cold or an attack of the grip in less time
than any other treatment. 1t is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by H. S. French.

Formerly Oct. % was regarded as
Adams birthday. Theologians Of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
wasted much scholarship in efforts to
settle both the manner and the date OF
creation. DR.. John Lightfoot, vice chan
cellor of Cambridge, Hebrew scholar
of European reputation, published a
statement to the effect that, after years
of research, he had succeeded in dis
covering the precise moment when the
earth ''rose out of chaos" and man
made his appearance upon it. This
learned divine declared that 'heaven
and earth, center and circumference,
were created all together in the same
instant and clouds full Of water" and
that Ibis work took place and man
was created by the Trinity on Oct. %,

Gihralfnr's Story.

In 1I04 the rock of Gibraltar fell into
the hands of the British by assault.
The Prince of Hesse- Darmstadt COM
handed the troops and Sir George
Rookie the feet, and in the remarkably
short time of four days the stronghold
surrendered. Many times the Span
iards attempted to get back the key
to the Mediterranean, but without sue
cess though On one occasion they got
800 men within the fort, but failed to
reinforce them. In 1926 it was in the
mind of ministers to give back the
rock to Spain, but so great an agita-
ton arose against such a step that it
was abandoned. There followed a
siege by Spain and France, which last
ed from 1927 to 1888. On Sept. Is,
1852, no fewer than 10000 men con-
stituted the besieging army, and in the
grand attack delivered on that day 200
heavy guns, Al ships of the line and 10
battering ships were employed, and
upward of 5000 red hot shots were
fired at the Notifications. Since then

The Tune Was Familiar.

An interesting ans ct,Ote is told Of the
old tune to which Il we'll known song
is now sung. The story runs that when
tie army of the first Napoleon was in
Egypt in 100 the camp for awhile
was near the pyramids. One afternoon
about sunset the band was playing, and
the natives of the desert had collected
and were listening to the music. Moth
ing unusual happened until the band
struck up a tune which we now hear
under the name Of I'VE Won't Go
Home Till Morning." Instantly there
were the widest demonstrations of joy
among the Bedouins. They embraced
each other and shouted and danced in
the delirium Of their pleasure. The rea-
son was that they were listening to the
fayorite and oldest tune of their peo-
pie The tune had been taken to Eu-
rope from Africa in the eleventh Gen.
fury and had lived separately in both
countries for over 700 years.

Almonds and raisins, which are so

PHARMACY.
The Crow That Wears a FOOLS Cap.
PHAR MACY.

The Crow That Wears a FOOLS Cap.
The following clever way of keeping
crows away from grainfield is used
by the farmer of Holland:
He makes some small caps of stout
paper and slnears around the inner side
of the mouth of each some bird lime or
other sticky stuff. In these he puts
some grains Of corn and stands them
about his fields by pressing their points
into soft earth.
When the crow finds one of these
paper caps, he thinks himself in great
luck until he attempts to peck at the
tempting grain, when, to his astOnish-
ment, he finds the cap attached to his
head-a regular FOOLS cap-which will
not even allow him to see what course
to take if he flies up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass or bushes and after
much bewildered scrambling and flop
ping about gets his head out of this un-
desirable cap and ever afterward
avoids the field where there are more
of them.

HANDLING FROZEN CREAM.
How 1t Is Sent In Solid Cakes From
Farm to Dairy In Finland.

The following account Of how frozen
cream from the hand separator is ham
died in Finland was reproduced by the
Northwest Farmer from an English
dairy journal:
1t may interest your readers to know
that in Finland this is practiced with
considerable success | have seen
cream arrivals at the dairy practically
a solid frozen mass after being five
days in transit from the farm to the
dairy. This system of sending frozen
cream instead of milk to the dairy is
a good one, as it saves carriage The
cream is refrigerated in the follow
ing manner at the farm: Nearly every
farmer has separator. The cream is
run into the can in which it will make
it's journey. This can is placed in
specially designed wooden tub and
small pieces of ice packed closely
around it, Over this ice Il common
kind Of coarse salt is sprinkled which
intensifies the cold. A careful record
of temperature, both of the freezing
mixture and the cream, is kept. Dur
ing the process the cream is kept
stirred from time to time until the re-
| quired degree of cold is reached.
The trains are provided with special
cars to take the cream. The tempera
ture Of these cars is capable of being
lowered or raised according to the
time Of year. The cans of refrigerated
cream ON arrival at the dairy are first
weighed, then graded, as we would
butter. The qualities are usually first,
second and third. After grading the
tins are placed in the thawing room.
Great care is required not to thaw too
| quickly. When the necessary temper
allure is reached, the cream is taken to
the ripening room, and after this the
process of butter production is the
| same as in any dairy. 1t is not recon-
mended that cream should be frozen
solid, as the resultant butter is not of
such a good quality as from the semi
frozen article. The cans used vary in
size from pint to five gallons. They
are very strongly made and capable Of
being easily cleaned. The smallest
farmer in Finland has his hand sep
| arator.
