BET ON A SURE THING.
A Merchant Who Had an InfaIlibl'
=. Barometer in His Ice
Chest.

IL was a beautiful day, without a sin
gle cloud in the sky. The man who was
buying some food in a delicatassen store
remarked on the weather, relates the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Eyes, it's fine, but it's going to rain"
replied the dealer.
Impossible" said the customer.
'I1l bet you a iver," said the dealer,
that 1t rains before the day is over, al
though l hate to take your money"
The money was put up and the custom
er went away chuckling.
Before night the rain was falling In
torrents. The man who lost the bet
stopped at the d~elicatassen store to see
the winner.
"How did you know it was going to
rain?' he demanded Of the storekeeper.
The latter chuckled.
See that ice chest?" he asked, point
ing to a big box in the corner.
The customer saw the ice box. 1t was
sweating big drops of water.
THAT chest" said the storekeeper, sis
my barometer. When there is rain in
the air it begins to sweat; when rain is
imminent it sheds those big drops you
see now. I've had it yer two years and
it never yet prophesied falsely"
Never too late to learn" sighed the
customer, ''but sometimes a little knowl-
edge comes high"

Asbury Park Press:
The Trenton fair is more a political
melange than ever before. 1t affords
an annual opportunity for the politi-
cans of the state to assemble on the
fair ground, to fraternize and caucus
and make their deal conveniently and
with each part of the machine in
position ready to be started as the
compact requires The fair likewise
affords opportunity for the voters to
meet their candidates and size them
up for future reference.
Camden Post-Telegram:
Elizabeth is the first city to avail
itself of the referendum clauses of the
Hillery limited tax act. City Coun-
Gil has been called upon to pass a res
%olution providing for popular vote on
the question of fixing next years tax
rate at s.. Sc instead of 81. So, as it
would be under the Hillery act with
out regard to the referendum. To
make the higher rate applicable next
year it WILDE necessary for the peo-
pie TO adopt it at the coming election
so that the odd spectacle of a part of
the Hillery act being put into execu-
tion befor the time iixd, next year the
law to go into effect in It's entirety is
thus presented. The question wheth-
er this can be legally done is likely to
90 to the court. Other cities that
are claiming they cannot make both
ends meet with the limited rate fixed
by the Hillery act are taking chances
on repeal or amendment Of the act
this winter. That a strong demand
will be made for its repeal is already
evident, the foremost champions OF
which action will be the Hudson and
Essex delegation in the Legislatures.

The Camden Courier has this to
say Of its water plant:
1.-THE report of Chief Engineer
Robert Hollingsworth, of the Cam
den Water Department, is really an
interesting and instructive docu-
ment, which all taxpayers will appre-
ciate. It's statement of facts and
figures regarding the artesian sys-
tenn will %agreeably surprise a large
number of people who have little or
no idea of it's vastness, ITS simplicity
and its cost, although all can and do
appreciate the pure, crisp and invig-
Grating water it sends so plentifully
into their homes. 1t is pleasant to
learn from Mr.. Hollingsworth's re-
port hat all the wells repaired dur
ing the year are yielding as much as
they originally did, thus proving
there are no signs of a diminution of
supply at it's source, and confirming
the conclusions of the former state
geologist, Mr.. Cook, that underneath
Camden there is an ineXhaustible
supply of pure water. The maximum
capacity of the water plant is about
8 1000. 900 gallons daily, while the
amount daily pumped for consump-
ton is about 100000 gallons, or
about 165 gallons per capita. The
revenue of the department for the
year was $194,359.37, while the OPP
Grating expenses, exclusive of water
bond account for improvements,
were $61,539.46-fgurcs from
which the taxpayer can readily de-
duce that municipal ownership of a
water plant does pay when it is man
aged solely for the benefit of the peo-
pie"
