THE USE oF sCHooL BOOKs.

Considerable money is expended
each year in our borough for school
supplies, such as books, ETC., and as
we were coming down John street
Friday afternoon this thought came
in our minds, does anyone have any
control of the pupils or books, ETC.,
after they leave the school room until
they reach home. Why this thought
came in our minds was the manner
in which the school books were used
by the scholars on their way from
school. About the only difference in
the use of the books and the football
was that they did not kick the books.
This is of interest to the taxpayers
who pay the money to purchase the
school supplies. Surely some one
ought to be responsible or have au-
thority conferred upon them to see
that no improper use is made of the
books entrusted in the pupils care.

Homesteads for the Asking.

The United States service for re-
claiming arid lands expects to re-
deem a total area about equal to that
of the state of wyoming, or more
than twice the size of Ohio-all of
which will become available for the
production of crops and the mainte-
nance of a prosperous population,
says Robert Franklin in the Novem-
Der issue of Technical World Maya
zine. His article, "Homesteads for
the Asking" Is a startling account of
the fine lands that I open to set
tiers, which Uncle Sam will give free
to those who wish to make their
homes in the country, but which are
neglected and ignored by the toiling
masses of the great cities, who
should be only too eager to grasp the
opportunity. He tells of the great
irrigation projects on foot in the
west, by which millions of acres will
be redeemed for the farmer. He tells
many interesting stories of govern
ment engineers and irrigation men
how they travelled unknown canyons,
and ~traversed miles upon miles OF
land without water or food, in their
efforts to ascertain the best way OF
getting water to the settlers. The
whole article is a stirringftale OF en-
deavor upon the part offthe govern
ment, which has opened tremendous
opportunities for the farmer. Even
tually some go milliof acres OF desert
lands will be CONVEYED in this man
ner into the richesf kind of farming
territory.

A STAGE.

Michael Welsh commenced running
a stage Thursday from South Amboy
to the stock grounds OF the Susque-
hanna Coal Company, for the accom-
mediation of the men working there.
The workmen have been going there
by the P. r. R. train, but since the
days have become so short the men
quit at 5 o'clock p. m, and to come
home by train necessitates waiting
one hour and a quarter; hence the
running of the stage for their accom-
mediation.

Improved swedish relenhons.

Sweden's government has fostered
the use of the telephone for a number
OF years, with the result that in some
parts Of that country the instrument
is in more general use than anywhere
else in the world. There is being in
troduced a form of telephone trans
mitter so sensitive that it is not nee
essary to talk directly into the mouth
piece. The new design has a very
large bell, which is held anywhere in
the vicinity, but not directly at the
mouth.

JUNIOR FAIR A SUCCESS


LARGE CrOWu LaSU Might liidD NiSht
Before.
Last night, the second evening OF
the Junior League fair, was a great
err success than the preceding even
ing. The lecture room was filled to
it's utmost capacity, and it was nee
essary to utilize the main portion OF
the church to accommodate the peo-
pie. The program was very pleasing,
consisting as follows:
Organ Voluntary, Miss Rae Cornell.
Recitation, Harold Hoffman.
Doll Drill, by the little girls.
Dialogue, Lewis Stults and Mac
Thompson.
Recitation, Beatrice p. Selover.
Singing, by church choir.
Recitation, Glen Stults.
Monologue, Gertrude Smith.
Duet, Florence Thompson and
Vera Deitrick.
Good Night Drill, by little girls.
AT the close of the program the
audience adjourned to the lower
room, where the booths had been re-
plenished from the sales the previous
evening, and everything very taste
fully arranged for the enjoyment of
those present.
Although no authentic report has
as yet been given of the amount of
the receipts, we understand the first
evening about SS6 was taken in and
the second evening far exceeded that
amount. Inasmuch as the disburse-
ments will be comparatively small
the juniors will unquestionably have
a snug little sum in the treasury as
the results of their efforts.
Great credit is due the various
committees and for the young ladies
who so nobly contributed to the sue
cess of the occasion.
