EDITORIAL COMMENT.

New Brunswick Home News:
Perth Amboy is very much in the
position of the gentleman who wears
a yachting cap but has not yacht,
and of the one who, CARRIED in auto
mobile attire, has never been in an
automobile. Perth Amboy, thanks
to the liberality of a public spirited
citizen, is now rich in the possession
of a full sized, imposing band stand.
1t is a band stand wirthy Of a Sousa,
but, alas, Perth Amboy has no band.
Happy in a place for concerts, it
has not the concert-producing ele-
ments and it must content itself in
gazing at the band stand and wonder
ing how music would sound when
rendered from so impressive q pro-
duction. How incomplete is the hap
piness of most OF us!
Trenton Times:
An enterprising business firm at
Perth Amboy took $500 Sunday
school children Of that city on a days
outing at Boynton Beach, on Tues
day. OF our the trip was intend
ed to advertise the firm that paid
the expenses. Perhaps some Trenton
firm may find in this a hint that will
aid the Salvation Ahmy in its effort
to raise money for the picnic of the
poor children of the city at Cadwal-
adler Park.

Walter was a high-dyer. posing as a

was a social favorite. He pleaded
guilty to six robberies. Confinement
in state prison has not agreed with
him, and out of consideration for his
delicate health, the Court of Pardon
sympathetically grants his freedom.

that the roots of these plants hav'

colonies of soil bacteria could be sys

tribution, and the farmers who received
shipments of the bacteria reported that
by their use they had largely increased
the yield of their fields.
Recently, it is alleged, applicants for
