EAST MILESTONE, july jill
High winds, accompanied by torrents
of rain, prevailed in this vicinity
Sunday afternoon, and for more than
an hour the downpour was so great
that cutters were inadequate to car
ny off the rain, and water flowed
down the side o t houses all over
town. The heavy d%ownpour flooded
the streets and washed them out
badly in some places. In the open
country small streams running
through meadowland overlooked
their banks, water covered the pub
lie highways, and in places rendered
the roads impossible. The lightning
was sharp at intervals, although no
place was struck by it. Farmers
hereabout say the ground is thor
oughly soaked with water now, and
if the weat weather continues any
longer it will do great damage to
crors and vegetables.

GRAND LODGE MEETING
Is NOW CALLED OFF

The special session of the grand
lodge of New Jersey, l. o. o. F.,
which was to have taken place today
at Newton, has been recalled by
Grand Master Wesley B. Stout. The
session was to act on the question OF
the removal of the grand lodge offices
from Trenton to some other part of
the state, wherever the grand secre-
tary might be elected from.
This met with great opposition, es-
pecially from the representatives OF
South Jersey, and the special session
was called off because it was found
that South Jersey had been working
hard in the matter and would devel-
op too much strength for the North
Jersey representatives.
Trenton is the logical place for the
grand lodge headquarters.

talk about state expenses in various
directions. Now We have a suspicion
that more money is wasted in the petty
courts than through all other channels
combined. The officials and hangers
on around the. justiceI courts in YER

with about as little real benefit to the
community as any class to be found.
There is OF course legitimate Justice

as leech on the public by fostering
petty ligitation and stirring up little
nasty cases for the sake of the fees to
