The Mules Understood.

A story is told Of Senator Knute
Nelson, who spent some of his early
years in a logging camp. He there
discovered the necessity Of certain
emphatic language in ORDER TO make
mules move. "All varieties" OF
tongues were in demand in that camp:
Scandinavian, German, ltalian-but
none of the words used seemed TO
have the explosive force to adjust
the tempo of the mule to the desired
pace. Along came a strapping irish
man, who used some popular exple-
tives. usually indicated In print by
blank blank. or - -. The mules
moved, There's language all
mules understand" said the lrishman

New Jersey has many places ideal
In situGuon and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly TO GER
tain point and there IL stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club. golf, tennis and other attrac-
uons ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or stinging pests that intruded every
where. and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without a fight, and an i'm
provement society was formed which
consulted with my Office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk OF
the breeding area was drained mos.
quitoes have since been absent al
most entirely; one gentleman, not a
large owner, either, told me his prop
erty had increased $4,000 in value,
and new settlers began to come in.
This year one of the worst breeding
areas of the olden day was used as
a camping gorund, and 100 new resi-.
dences are planned for next year
