The Farmer Is In The Saddle.

The man who wrestles with the COW
And teaches calves to suck,
Who casts the corn before the swine,
Is now in greatest luck;
For buffers on the upper grade,
Veal's higher than a kite,
Pork is climbing up the scale
And beef is out of site;
Eggs he gathers every day
From his Leghorn chicken coop
Are almost worth their weight in gold
And we are in the soup.
His corr brings him a fancy price,
It's rising every day
He rakes in all kinds of mon,
For a half a load of hay.
The farmer is in the saddle
And when he comes to town
The rest of us by right
Should go way back and sit down.

Crop Reports

WooDsTowN, Salem county.-Corn is
not very promising. About two weeks
later at this date-very uneven, a poor
stand, particularly on wet and low land,
owing to cold and wet weather and so
little sunshine. White potatoes looking
very promising. Wheat looking well, but
unusually backward. The hay harvest
not begun at this date; about ten days
later, a fair prospect. Late tomatoes for
canning purposes nearly all set out. A
very general shortage in cherries, plums
apples and peaches.

WooDsTowN, Salem county.-The cold
wet spring has caused all cultivated crops
to be at least two weeks later that usual,
with the exception OF early potatoes,
which have looked unusually good.
Potato bugs appeared in great quantities,
but the sprayer has done effectual work.
Potato blight has appeared in some fields
very little spraying for that. Corn is
very backward, but improving in color
and growth. Tomatoes for canning are
still being set and reset, as it has been
difficult to get good plants. Growers are
not contracting with the Gamers. Out
look for fruit is very poor. Apples will
be less than half crop. Peaches and
plums very light; cherries next to nothing.
Milk shippers are expecting to take ad-
vantage of the new law and ship in the
Iiquid-measure cans as soon as the change
can be made. The moving machine is
heard Oh all sides. Some hay has been
housed, but the crop is not above the
average.

1ust Stop Offensive Odors

Prosecutor Rogers, of Gloucester Cou-
nty, has served notice on the l. P. Thorn
as Company, which operates the phos-
plate works near Paulsboro, that it must
at once abate the nuisance which it has
maintained for several years. Very
offensive odors from the plant reach
Woodbury., five miles away, at times.
Farmers with land near the plant have
instituted several damage suits in the
past for the destruction of their crops
from fumes alleged to have come from
the works, and it is claimed that the
phians for weeks can be traced to this
source.

In Favor of Spring Elections


The South Orange special election,
held recently to determine whether
the election Of village officers should be
held separately in the spring or remain
consolidated with the general election
in the fall, resulted in an overwhelming
majority in favor of spring elections.
In consequence, the village will for the
next five years elect its local officials i'll
April. There were 3S6 votes cast, of
which 319 were for spring elections and
si%xty-nine were for the present system
This is the first opportunity the people,
of any municipality o. election distric
in this State had to express their opinions
at the polls Of the Meeker act a~bolishing
spring elections. 1t has been argued by
politicians of both parties, that II cleo
ton a year was all the voters wanted,
and upon this argument the Meeker act
was passed relating to cities, and was
subsequently extended to the country
districts. Inc people were not asked
their opinions; they were simply COM
PEELED to vote when the machine poll
ticians said they must. {
But the South Orange election, held
upon this very issue, shows that the en-
timent in favor Of separate and indepen-
dent elections for local officers is very
nearly five times as great as that for the
consolidated partisan elections now in
order. The South Orange vote is con-
elusive proof of what is republic senti-
ment in the other parts Of the State,
and the plainduty of the Legislature is
to repeal the consolidated election law,
at the earliest practicable moment. Its

! A Federal Judge in Kansas has de-
cided that an express company cannot
be compelled to conduct a c. o. D..
liquor business. not very long ago an
other Federal Judge in Kentuckey held
that dispensing rum c. o. d. by express
companies could not be interfered with
notwithstanding local prohibition-that
is, interstate commerce cannot be re-
strained by ''no-license" laws. Thusit
is seen that law is according to what diff

The Legislative Long Session.

The State Legislature Will hold the
longest session on record this year.
The Democrates with a majority Of one
in the House Of Assembly which is due
to the new idea" movement, of Sena-
tor Colby, have taken advantage of their
first opportunity in twelve years by in
vestigating the working of the Republi-
a machine and showing up some Of
~extravagant management of State af-
fairs for personal and party profit.
The session recess to give Gov. Stokes
time to consider bills passed and the
House investigating committee to look
into affairs and report has brought
forth good results and has made some
see the need Of reform measures.
The Senators who were slow in seeing
: things tumbled over themselves last
week in passing reform bills which were
smothered in the regular session. Such
eleventh hour repentance from those
who have been.protecting the reign of
graft and corporation misrule may be
taken with due allowance.
The Assembly got in its work this
week by passing reform bills urged at
the regular session and then adjourning
on Tuesday September 10th.
The House passed the bill abolishing
the State Board of Arbitration at which
the shafts Of criticism have been hurled
for so many years because it never arbi-
trates anything. 1t was the same bill
passed by the House at the regular ses-
sion.
The stringent public utilities bill, SINH
lar to the one recently passed i'll New
York, failed of passage because all the
Democrats were not present and the
Republicans voted against it.
The House passed the bill requiring
State funds be deposited in banks atnot
less than two per cent. State Banking
Commissioner, D. o. Watkins, at
Woodbury., has been putting State
money in his home hanks without draw
ing interest. The House passed the
bill a%bolishing the present State Fish
and Game Commission and providing
for the appointment of a new body bv
the Governor, which must pay into the
State Treasury all moneys received and
Which can draw funds only on the war
rant OF the Comptroller. Another of
the measures suggested by the report of
h Hahn committee was the one pro-
vIding that work of construction or
repair for any State department OF i'll
stitution which may cost more than $500
shall be done without comeptitive bid
ding after regularly advertised bids for
at least three weeks.
An open Sunday bill has been intro
duced by Senator Lee, of Atlantic
County for the benefit of Atlantic City.
Senator Lees bill permits Common
Councils of seashOre cities to designate
hours when selling Of liquor on Sunday
will be legal. A referendum clause is
included in the bill.
Gov. Conner, of Alabama, in a mes
age to the Legislature, complained
about the holding up of the State rail-
road laws by injunction in the Federal
Court and Endorsed the observance of
Sunday in the following words: If we
could but rest the machinery of our
State for one day in the week, and rest
given to the great army af railroad en-
ployes would, | have no doubt, prevent
many a destructive collision and loss of
life. You need not put this in opera
ton at once, but put it in process of ac-
complishment.

One Newspapers Way.

The differe nee between newspaper
methods in a large city and in some OF
the smaller cities was amusingly shown
not long ago. One of the leading morn
ing papers of R, a city of nearly 200, 900
inhabitants, is responsible for the ~illustra-
ton. A young man living in B, a
village near R, applied to the paper
for the position OF correspondent from
the little town.
eve have a man in your place." he
was told, "who sends stuff to all the
papers here. but if you can give us some
thing better We'll make you u special
correspondent from B. Sit down and
write us a story from there to show US
what you can do"
The young man seated himself at a desk
and cast about in his mind to find a sub
ject for a convincing piece Of writing.
Then he seized a pencil and wrote a
WY id and circumstantial account Of a big
fire in the town of B. Half the bust
ness portion Of the place, many Of its
finest buildings and the State Normal
School had been wiped out by flames.
While there had been no loss Of life. there
were many thrilling escapes, and the town
was a scene of great excitement and
dismay.
With no comments he handed in the
story, put on his hat and walked out
Next morning when he opened his paper
he stared at the page in horror. There,
as an actual news story OF the first impor-
lance, was his specimen effort.-Ex-

Science and Sentiment.

4 member Of the Sixtieth congress
recently announced before a body OF
scientists that at the next session he
sill introduce a bill to establish fed
eral supervision over our problems of
sanitation and hygiene. This is a rad
ical step. for hygiene and sentiment
are continually at odds in our daily
life.
Hygiene would condemn the highly
seasoned and oil stained meerschaum
or brier pipe, but sentiment says there
is no pipe like it for a cool, well ia
vored and pleasing smoke; besides
which, such a pipe has numberless as
sociations, and the very sight of it re-
calls pleasant personal experiences.
Hygiene dictates the removal of all so
called dirt films and the bringing to
light of an exquisitely cleaned and
smooth surface wherein no bacteria
can find Judgment. Sentiment prefers
the tone and dignity of deposit and
loathes a brand new stone. brick or tile.
Hygiene would dispense with curtains
and carpets and bid US live in rooms
with walls and floors polished like a
well appointed dairy. To these things
the sentiments of some people, at all
events, naturally object.
Hygiene has long attempted to ban
ish the open fire, but sentiment has
strongly and so far successfully re-
sisted this attempt. Hygiene would
take away the jelly from the dietary
because it is an excellent culture me
dunn for heterogeneous. Sentiment
bids it stay. Instances could easily Be
multiplied. With hygiene there is no
middle course. Its cry is sterilize,
sterilize, scour, scour. But to senti-
ment sterilization and securing mean
often a lost Joy. How, then, can the
strife between sentiment and science
be ended? Until knowledge is abso-
lutte it is impossible to say, for much
that may be demanded in the name Of
science now may be rescinded tomor.

The article at the head is a good sam.
pie Of the sensational stories that many
read in daily and story papers. These
same persons think a little local paper
with cold facts very insipid because their

Raymond Harris Now A Hero
Popular Theatrical Man Turns Life
Saver

Especial to ''Chatter")
JAMESTOWN, N. Y. July 2d.-An-
OF her marine disaster was narrowly
averted here to-day, when Raymond
Harris, a theatrical agent and a party OF
friends barely missed drowning.
ttMr. Harris and guests were spinning
around the bay in the hosts so foot
launch "Idlewave'', when suddenly a
submerged rock was struck, STAYING a
dangerous hole in the craft just about
midship. The crowd were thrown into a
panic and had it net been for Harris cool
head and determined bravery, the end
would have been fatal. As soon as the
craft struck Mr.. Harris jumped to the
engine, reversed the power, and throwing
the helm hard to port let the boat rest
on the jagged rock long enough to inspect
the damage.
The launch filled rapidly and began
to list. Harris ordered the ladies to the
the stern and while the shore was nearly
400 yards away, he knew it was the only
chance. He put the engineer to bailing
out, took charge Of the engines himself
and throwing on all power started the
race between life and death. The water
poured in in torrents and some OF those
Oh board were trying to jump overheard
and swim to shore. just then a thought
struct Harris. He ordered all the men
overheard, telling them to hang on to
the railing and in this way tighten the
load. Just when the craft was 80 feet
from shore the gasoline gave out. IIarri
fastened tie painter around his waist,
| threw himself overheard and i'll a few
| strokes made the shore, where a score of
willing hands grabbed the rope and pull
ed the launch and IFS occupants to safety.
When the launch was beached the ladies'
were standing waist high in water.
Mr.. Harris's bravery won the praise Of
all who witnessed heroic deed.

"JOLLY X CLUB"
AT THE EXPOSITION.

jamestown Exposition, Va, Ang. s..
of the liveliest conventions that
will be held at the jamestown EXPOSE
ton during the month of August, will
be that of the Jolly Joker Club, which
holds it's annual session at the Ter
Centennial, August 18th, 10th, and II,
The organization, which is he larg-
est purely social club in existence has
some 5000 members, and is information
al in scope, the delegates from the
Sandwich Islands, Ceylon and other
countries having already started for
the exposition to participate in the
coming convention.
To arouse interest in the convention
a contest was arranged some time ago
whereby the two most popular candi-
dates were to be sent free to the Expo
sition, the winners to be decided by a
popular vote of the entire organization
The fortunate members are Mr.. Floyd
Mccormack of Knox, Indiana, and
Miss Nellie C. LeCain of Washington,
D. C..
A feature of the convention at the
Exposition will be h selection OF
members of the club, to attend the
Lemon Social" to be held at New
Orleans, at the next Mardi Gras. All
members of the club have numbers,
and at the Ter-Centennial Convention
those having eve numbers will be
called "Bluebirds" and those having
odd numbers will be called "Redbirds'
These two factions will have regular
headquarters at the Ter-Centennial
and each side will carry pennants
showing their respective colors, and
will plan all manner of novelties to out
with each other. In this I the
club lives up to it's motto which is to
always look to the Bright side, its
constant aim being to promote cheer
fulness and happiness among its mem
bers.

The railroad company continues to
keep East Second street blocked part
of the time so that people driving
cannot pass. The sidewalk on one side
or the other is blocked nearly all the
time, and even when there is room
to drive between cars it is so narrow
that one cannot see up or down the
track SO as to avoid the possibility
of being struck by a train. Most horses
are skittish about passing so near the
cars, and there is great danger of
runaways if nothing lore. Appeals
have been made to me general
ager of the road and to the local ag-
ent by Secretary Graham, all to no
avail, and so it has been determined
to try the effect of a little publicity.
This street is the one upon which ev-
erybody starts for the most popular
drive to the farms east of town, and
hundreds of people have complained
of it's being rendered impossible or
dangerous by the carelessness n
indifference of the railroad people.
