ERADlCA ZION OF "ScAB."
Sentiment for Special Legislation Is
Growing.

Farmers and stockmen are seriously
discussing the advisability of special
legislation by the incoming legisla-
ture looking to the eradication of dis

known as "scab." Some trouble has
resulted from this disease and a num-
Der Of farmt ) have resorted to the

1t is proposed to ask the state to es-

matter is receiving profound consid-
Grafton and it is quite probable that
the legislature will take the PROPOSE
ton in hand.
Clark & Venables of Huron estab-
lished a dipping station a year ago,
and thousands of cattle have been
dipped by them. These stations are so
limited in number and so far apart
that it is both announcement and ex-
pensive for cattlemen to avail them
selves of their benefits.

the troubles of the closed Citizens
National Bank of Oberlin, Ohio. Pres
ident c.. T. Beckwith and Cashier
Frank Spear of the latter institution
were arraigned before United States
Commissioner Starek. Both pleaded
o guilty and waived a preliminary
hearing. That the Oberlin bank, or
President Beckwith, really possessed
notes for $250,000 and 100000 re-
s%pectively, with the name of Andrew
Carnegie signed thereto, is now
known as a definite fact. Whether
these notes are forgeries is yet to be
known.
Later in the day President Beck
with made a long statement regard
ing his transactions with Mrs. Chad
wick. The banker spoke in broken
sentences with the tears streaming
from his eyes. He confessed at the
bank had notes of Mrs. Chadwick's to
the amount of $1,250,000. Beckwith
denies intentional wrongdoing, and
says he believed the Carnegie indorse-
ment to be genuine.
Secret Service Men on Watch.
New York, Dec. Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick, whose financial difficulties
have caused widespread interest, is at
the Holland house. At the hotel are at
least three officers of the United
States secret service, and they have
been practically alert for the past
twenty-four hours. A gentleman
closely connected with the case says
that there is a strong possibility
that an arrest will be made in New
York within a short time. and that it
will be of a person closely connected
with the now famous case.
Philip Carpenter, chief counsel in
New York for Mrs. Chadwick. was
seen at the Waldorf-Astoria at mid
night by q representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press. When asked con
corning the probability of the arrest
of his client. he declined to talk. but
said:
Mrs. Chadwick is absolutely inno-
cent Of any intent of wrong. She has
done nothing to warrant legal proceed
ings and she cannot be convicted Of
wrong-doing."

Old Deeds Found.

Through the death of Miss Sarah
Amanda Lindsey, her nephew, Foster
H. Lindsey, a merchant, at East High
Bridge, has acquired possession of two
old deeds conveying lands at Hanover,
Hunterdon County NOW Morris
County,, dated the first year of the
reign of George II. of Great Britain,
October 8, 1927, and October 4, 1927.
The deeds are plainly written on
parchment, and are in an excellent
state of preservation. They were the
property of Miss Lindsey, who lived
in the old Lindsey homestead, at New
Vernon, Morris County. The papers
were made by John Afford, of Milford,
County of Middlesex and Province of
Massachusetts, Bay, in New England,
of the first part, and Stephen futile,
late of Newark, now of Hanover, in the
County of Hunterdon, and Western
Division of the Province of New Jer-
sey, of the second part. The first deed
conveys 200 acres of land, situated at
Hanover, between the branches of the
Whippany and Passaic Rivers, "for
five shillings of lawful silver money"
The second deed conveys 254 acres of
lane adjoining the former tract for ESP.
The parchments are the oldest known
deeds in that section. John Lindsey,
a witness, and Stephen futile, a signer,
are Foster II. Lindsley's great-great.

Oiled Japanese Paper.

Their oiled papers are astonishingly
cheap and durable. AS a cover for
his load of tea when a rainstorm over
takes him the japanese farmer spreads
over it a tough, pliable cover of oiled
paper, which is almost as impervious
as tarpaulin and as light as gossamer.
He has doubtless carried this cover for
years, neatly packed away somewhere
about his cart. The 'riklsha' coolies
in the larger cities wear rain nantes
of this oiled paper, which cost less
than eighteen cents and last for a year
or more with constant use. An oiled
tissue paper, which is as tough as
writing paper, can be had at the sta
toners for wrapping up delicate arti-
cles.
In the tea factories the piles of paper
sacks filed with tea are made of shibu
gami. 1t is said that these tanned
sacks keep the tea in better condition
than any other sort, and that they
last, with careful use, for many years.
Grain and meal sacks are almost al
ways made of this same paper in
Japan, for it is not easily penetrated
by weevils and other insects.
But perhaps the most remarkable of
all the papers which find a common
use in the japanese household are the
leather papers of which the tobacco
pouches and pipe cases are made.
They are almost as tough as French
kid, so translucent that one can nearly
see through them, and as pliable and
soft as calfskin. These tobacco
pouches quite change ones notions Of
the characteristics of paper, for the
material of which they are made is as
thick as cardboard, but as flexible as

The Management of Wives.

Another thing the tactful husband
does Is to let his wife cry. ! don't
mean that he drives her to crying, or
that he lets her weep while he stands
unsympathetically by with his hands
in his trousers pockets, his feet apart,
and grinning sardOnically. 1 mean
that when an emotional woman needs
a good cry, he realizes that it will re-
lieve the tension. He does not get up
and rage about and kick footstools out
Of the way and say, ooh, for heavens
sake, stop crying!"
No! He goes and pats her shoulder
s%oothingly and says:
There, little woman! I'm sorry the
cook has left and your new gown hooks
up crookedly, but cheer up! Let's go
out and have a jolly little dinner, and
tomorrow I'll write that tailor a letter
that will make his hair curl"
Then she looks up through her tears
and thinks how handsome and big and
strong and glorious he is, and before
the dinner is over, she has thought up
two ways in which to economize, and
so pay for the extravaganza of his Or
der to the waiter. For the common
purse is rot elastic, and she knows it.
