Mr.. Morgan stated that he had con-
suited John e. Harker in regards to lay
ing a pipe thru the rear of his lot at the
corner of Pitman and Penn Streets, in
order to drain the water FROM the sid OF
his lot on Pitman Street, and that he re-
fused to grant permission. He had also
consulted HI. S. Titus who said a pipe
might be run thru his property if extend
ed to the pipe in Sheble's lot, but not to
the rear of his lot where the water would
lay. The committee was instructed to
take measurements and get estimates as
to the cost of draining the water from
Pitman Street.
The Street Committee was instructed
to consult the Board of Freeholders about
extending the State Road to the foot OF
Main Street, instead of stopping at Oak

path OH the side of South Broad Street:
He thought a good path could be built by
blowing up a few burrows, removing the

would be the carriage and labor. On mo
ton the free donation OF the cinders was
accepted.
The street lights were reported in fair
condition.

%lector, for $15, 900, from the American

Salem Co. Milkmen Band To Boost
Price

The Milk Shippers Union of Woods
town, held a meeting in the Town Hall on
Monday to discuss what measures should
be taken to protect them against the ar
bitrary rulings of the Philadelphia Milk
Exchange. The dairymen present were
of n accord that milk could not be
shipped at 4 cents, the price set by the
Milk Exchange, as it melted the farmer
only 81 cents after the expressage was
paid.
This is below the cost of production.
owing to the high price of feed and labor.
Many OF the dairymen were in favor of
reducing the number of these COWS until
the price of milk shows a profit.
Overproduction claimed by the Milk
Exchange, was shown to be caused by
milk being bought outside of the regular
market, The large creamery OF William
Richman, at Sharptown, near here. has
shipped as high as 1000 quarts to Phila-
delphia in one day.
Woodstown is the largest milk-ship.
ping station in Salem county, and the
county is said to produce more milk than
any other in the State.
The local shippers conclude their meet.
ing by issuing invitations to other sbin.
pers OF the county to meet them in con.
ference at an early date.

OBITUARY
MARY A. BEvIs

wife of John M. Bevis, YVES born Aug
ust 81, 1S4l, and died January IS, 1908,
being &c years and 5 months of age. She
was the daughter of Robert Walker and
Rebecca Flanagan. She was converted in
Emmanuel Church during the great re-
vival which lasted three months in the
winter of 1857 conducted by Mrs. Liz
zie Smith, during the p~astorate of Rev.
L. o. Manchester. After st. Paul's Church
was organized she became a member
there.
Being a friend and neighbor we desire
to bear testimony to the helpful and etic-
lent Christian life of our departed friend
and to gratefully acknowledge the sweet
and loving disposition which has endear-
ed her memory to all who knew her.
While not able to understand the All
Wise God in calling one who was so kind
hearted and useful, we bow to His will
while sincerely mourning her loss, remem
bering that He giveth his beloved, peace
full sleep. We c~onfidenently look forward
to the joyful awakening on the last day,
when Jesus reunites all surrendered ties.
We wish to extend to the husband and
family the assurance of our heartfelt SYM
pathy in their bereavement and realizing
the futility of human words i'll such a
time of trouble, we do earnestly commend
them to the all compassionate God
and pray a merciful and loving heavenly
Father to comfort and abide with them.
Friends.

Ground Hog Day

Next Sunday will be Candlemas or
Grown Hog Day, and. according to an
old adage, if the sun shines the winter
will continue for six weeks, and if it is
cloudy actual winter weather will be con-
sidered at all end. According to the
Housekeeper for February, the ground
hog legend originated in this way:
February I'd, or Candlemas Day, was
a favorite holiday, marked by public
galety and ceremonies in Europe during
the Middle Ages. 1t is still marked there
by the closing of banks and offices, but
not otherwise. outside OF the reading of
church services. In the church calendar
it is known as the Feast of Publication
OF the Virgin, and was first instituted by
Pope Sergius, about the year 6S4 A. d.
The popular name Of the day is derived
from the early custom of Lighting up the
churches with candles and carrying these
In procession OH this festival.
As to the weather superstition thai
gives to Candlemas the name OF ''ground
hog day." that is a world wide fable,
In Germany it is the badger that breaks
his winter nap on this day to essay the
thankless task of weather prophecy. In
France and Switzerland it is the marmot,
III England the hedge dog. Observation
shows that none of these small animals dc
thus observe the date fixed, also that the
weather on this date does not accurately
foretell that OF the following two months,
as is supposed. But it is a general truth
that Ill temperate ATTITUDES, warm and
sunny weather in the first half of Feb
ruary is apt to be followed by a change
and a cool spring, and OIL this tact oul
ground hog and badger stories are founded.

Chips From A Teachers Workshop.
Are Schools An Expense or An Invest
ment.
ARTICLE III
ARTICLE III

An investment is that use of
money from which one expect a special
return. He loans it Tor interest, he buys
stocks that he thinks will enchance in
value, he buys land, wheat, or cattle and
holds them for increase prices, and such
use of money is investment.
Ii children, because of the public
schools, make men who pay more taxes
than they otherwise would, or if
they earn more money, buy the better
groceries, patronage better ~tailors, mer-
chants, physicians, dentists, rent a better
house, furnish it better, indirectly the
municipality gets more taxes. Then the
schools are an investment. If schools are
SO good that men of means move into the
town and buy or rent property near such
a school house then the value of the
property is enchanced and schools are an
investment. {
Ii two thousand dollars are spent for
teaching drawing and for beautiful art
works i'll school, SO that furniture dealers,
carpet stores, paper hangers, painters and
decorators, picture dealers sell a higher
class of goods, and if all those who care
for patronage must fit up their places
more attractively, thereby p~atronizing
all sorts of decorators and furniture deal
ers it does not take long for a town to get
back more than the $1,000 in taxes if as
sessments are honestly made.
If science is SO taught that the homes
buy better meats and groceries. ~patronize
better restaurants, have better furnished
kitchens and dining rooms, it does not
take long for a town to get back in taxes
indirectly, more than they invest in the
school.
If school gardens are introduced and
children learn how to raise small fruits
and vegetables, 80 that as men and women
they will not live, in the congested dis
trlcts, but will move where the land has
been taxed by the acre and cause ii it to
be taxed by lots, it does not take long
for a town to get back large returns Oh
the investment. Whatever is put into a
school that increase She earning capacity
and happiness OF the people, that heigli-
tens the taste that makes people more
a%ppreciative and discriminating, is all
investment and not an expense.
