The extension OF free postal delivery
and the agitation for a parcels post
together with the activity 81 city mcr-
chants i'll pushing their mail order
business, give promise OF breeding q
perpetual war between the coEsumcrs
aud the town and country merchants.
The farmer, for instance, will cling to
his right to buy goods where he
pieases,' which means where he can
get just what he wants Tor the least
money. IL is Il right which no mcr-
chant can dispute, however much it
grieves his own pocket to see things
going that way.
But there Is i'll this the broad question
OF policy in crushing out the local mcr.
chants. The country store becomes the
nucleus Of the village, ana the village
grows to be a town, and the town ends,
in a city. Local markets to sell! III MS
well IA to buy In help the producer in
the long run. 1t is simply q question Of
patronizing home industry or standing
aloof aud letting it go limp or die ont
altogether. 4 frank understanding by
concerted action might remedy this.
Tho farmer has his side, and the mcr
chants has his, but at bottom both want
the same thing-local prosperity. In
stead Of standing oil and ecowlng at
one another the sensible thing would bc
to compare notes and contrivc some plan
talr to all concerned to keep good money

on the determination of mosquitoes will
give reports of the progress made in the
infested territories next Friday night at
the Board of Trdae rooms, Newark
Professor Smith and the others have a

localities, where during last summer and
the year previous the mosquito had
reigned supreme. The postpenment Of
this weeks meeting was the suggestion
Of the State entomologist, who said he
had prepared and submitted form of
bill which it was hoped would be passed
by the Legislature, fixing an appropria-
ton to cope with the great amount of
work that must be done if the mosquito
is to be conquered.
The measure, which is Assembly bill
No. s, was introduced Monday night. 1t
is expected that the legislative commits
tee of exterminators will make a report
of work done at the meeting Friday
night. The Public Health Committee of
the Legislature will, it is anticipated. act
upon Professor Smiths bill before that
time.
A report of the Rumsen Protective AS
sociation will be made also at Fridays
meeting. Printed copies of the report

Kemp Meadows, have been completely
destroyed by the ditching and filling-in
process This area includes about four
teen miles of bitches, 50 the report states,
