STREET PAVING QUESTION.
Should Be Submitted to the Voters at
November Election

The article published in The STAR
last week, suggesting that the borough
be bonded for $4,000 for the purpose Of
paving Main and jackson streets and
that il be submitted to the voters Of
this borough at the November election,
received the hearty Endorsement of a
large number of our citizens. 1t must
not be understood that it would only
cost $50, 900 to pave both streets. At a
rough estimate it will cost $50 600, but
IL is expected that the property owners
on each side of the streets will pay one
third OF the expenses of paving in front
OF their property, or property owners
two-thirds OF expense aud borough one
third. There is no doubt but that the
majority of the property owners on
Main and Jackson streets would enter
into an agreement TO pay their por-
tion OF the paving expenses, and we
believe If town council gives the citi-
zens an opportunity to vote on the bond
question in November-aud all the vOt-
ers understand the question thoroughly
that there is no doubt but that the
majority vote will be to bond the bor-
ough for sufficient amount to pave
Main and Jackson streets, There Is no
argument against the fact that these
two streets should be paved. The only
question is how shall the money be
raised ?
The valuation of property in this
borough is about 500 600, and it can be
bonded for per cent. of that amount,
which would be $4,000. The borough
now carries So, 900 bonds, not including
the school bonds, but the school bond is
separate and would not interfere with
bonding the borough for : per cent.
for other purposes il necessary.
AS stated in The STAR last week,
Main street is in very bad condition
and will have to be repaired not later
than next spring, therefore it is inn

A Treacherous Foe.

The latest dispatches from Mexico
about the bubonic plague are far from
reassuring to those who have watched
the progress of the disease since II
was first reported in that country. To
many people the fact that 1t is in Mex
leo and that Mexico is far away causes
them little concern. The same apathy
was apparent in this country when the
scourge appeared in Honolulu, but la
ter when IL reached across the Pacific
and gained foothold in San Fran
cisco there was general cry for meas
ures to prevent its spread. In crossing
the Pacific ocean the disease gave a
striking evidence that II is a danger
ous, treacherous foe, therefore extraor-
dinary precautions should be taken TO
prevent its passing the border between
this country and Mexico. Once over
the boundary no one can predict what
may happen. While there is no occa-
sion for any great alarm in the North
ern States, yet the health officials, both
State and Federal, cannot be too care
ful, for 1t has been proven more than
once that fancied security has brought
about lax condition of affairs with
disastrous results. So now Is the time
to apply the remedy of prevention, in
which in the end Is the better and
cheaper method.

headlights are now used on most of
the passenger trains on the Santa Fe

that line have recently been equipped
with this simple device for turning
night into day.

HARDY ORANGES.

Florida orange growers, who accord
ing 20 press dispatches are now pro-
tecting their groves from the dlsas-
trous effects of the threatening cold
snap, will be glad TO learn that the
hardy orange experiments Of the de-
partment Of agriculture give promise
of immediate success. II will be re-
membered that investigation was start
ed some years ago to develop a FROST
resisting orange. During the past sea-
son the first fruits of the hybrids we're
obtained. They are said to he inter-
mediate in character between the Flo
rida sweet orange and the hardy tri-
foliate and have good, though few
seeds. II is from the seeds of these
oranges that 1t is hoped to obtain a
variety that will possess the neces-
sary commercial characteristics as well
as the physical one most valuable to
the Florida growers, namely, the abil-
ity to resist, low temperatures. The
hybrids referred TO are the result of
crossing the hardy Japanese form with
the Florida sweet orange. They are
pronounced the hardest evergreen
oranges known in the world. They
promise to be of great value as hedge
plants apart from their fruit-bearing
value.

Winter Feedinu.

From pasture to winter feed is the
most trying time on the dairy COW,
and the results are to be found in the
milk, cream and butter. 1t is at such
a time that the milk gets it's tainted
odor and flavor, and butter loses its
delicious flavor suggestive of green
grass, writes G. M. Butler. If the
change is very violent, the effect on the
milk and cream is very great, and it
will sometimes injure the sales of 1t
or prejudice such poor butter that it
is marked down when sent to market.
The change from pasture should be
commenced before frost has killed the
grass. When the pasture has been de-
stroyed by freezing weather, it will
give a certain taste to the milk and
cream which is very unpleasant. Now
Nif the change Is made gradually, be-
ginning to increase the feed before the
grass has been killed there will be less
injury to the dairy products. Indeed,
1t is almost essential for high-class
dairy to make such change with the
feed of their animals. 1t is the time of
the year when extra creamery butter
is scarce, and high prices are paid for
the best. and 1t will prove remunera-
tive to any one to change the food of
the dairy cows very gradually and
carefully.
Good, liberal feeding at such time
will always pay. No matter how high
or scarce feed is, it will prove more
profitable in the end to give the ami
mails all that their systems need. OF
all times it Is the poorest to starve
or stint them. The question OF food and
forage in the fall of the year is one
that each dairyman must solve for him.
self. One section finds sorghum the
best, the most economical, and the
most satisfactory in every way. Until
late in the season II will supply good
green fodder, and later as a hay it will
help the cows to weather trying Pc
riod in their lives. Corn, alfalfa, beans,
peas, oats, hay and millet all have
their advocates and territories, and, in
deed, the latter is the most important
factor in the problem. Climate and lo-
cation must always determine the rela-
tive Importance of these several fod-
der crops. The success of one cannot
always be duplicated by another under
totally different conditions. We must
study our special problem and profit by
the experience Of others only SO far as
they apply to our special case. But
whatever We do, good feeder must
certainly supplement his pasture that
will help through the fall when grass
Is dying and scarce, and then furnish
a crop Of cured fodder for early winter
feeding. The saving on such crop is
sufficient to pay large percentage ON
the investment.

Few Traces Of the Community In the

East End Of London.
When Princess Charlotte entered
London for her marriage with King
George and the coronation revels
which followed 1t, she passed from
Whitechapel to Islington through a
prosperous French section known as
Spitalfields. 1t was the settlement of
the Huguenot refugees who carried
their industries as well as their re-
ligion from France and planted null
berry trees in large gardens where
silkworms could be fed on home
grown leaves. The descendants of
these weavers were rich and prosper
ous in the days of George III, and they
lived in fine old houses, with oak
paneled rooms and high latticed win
dows close under the caves where
they could have light for working
their looms. There were as many as
a dozen Huguenot churches in the
East End of London during the Georgi.
an reigns, and when the beautiful Spit.
alfields church was built, with its lofty
spire, its bell early after sunrise and

spacious, well kept grounds which
offer a marked contrast to the ordi-
nary East End environment. The in
stitution owes its origin to a bequest
made by French Huguenot refugee
two centuries ago and to liberal con-
tributions from weavers and mer-
chants in London. Work was begun
near Peerless Pool, in the northern
suburbs, where hospital for poor
French Protestants and their descend
ants was opened, and was long known
affectionately among the refugees as
