Nothing helps more to build up q
town commercially than the locating OF
a reputable, up to date manufacturing
concern lin our midst" This sort OF
establishment also helps to build up
town socially, for it supplies employ
ment and wages to young people who
otherwise might not earn money
enough to take part in local social af-
fairs. Every factory, large or small,
that any town can get adds TO the vi
tality Of the town and community. In

''Every city in the country has a
similar history. Industries do not come

made welcome.
Gold Spring has missed getting two

policy, gamers not only in money and in
population, but gamers In good will, In

for individual good flowing therefrom.
Els it not high time to get rid OF
petty misunderstanding and factional-
ism and join to bring industries and
new residents to the town? Let the
motto be:
Unite for the common good"

WON ON 4 BLUFF.
The Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start Ia Business.

Got His start IN Business.
There is prosperous merchant In
Chicago today who owes his success to
his donation OF a 5000 organ to q
church at time when he didn't have
money enough to buy a hand organ.
This donation was case OF bluff pure
and simple, but the bluff worked and
resulted In the subsequent wealth Of
the lucky buffer.
john Smith was seeking capital to
start In business for himself, but as be
had no security worth speaking Of he
could not borrow the money he needed.
When he had tried every person he
could think Of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the incli-
nation to lend It and had been turned
down, he conceived the idea OF present
ing his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The man
Of questioning the financial standing
Of the philanthropist who was handing
out 5000 organs ana agreed to have
the instrument set up in the church on
time.
OF course J. Smith was not bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his benencence under bushel.
He managed to bring in at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
Of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means OF the church organ, but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
ed congregation spread the news Of his
gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet On
the pretense Of consulting some
wealthy member Of the congrega ton
about some minor details OF the organ
he would drop into an Office and be-
fore he left casually would mention the
subject Of the company that he was
forming. Most Of the men that he thus
saw thought that 1t would be good
thing to be associated with man who
was making so much money that he
was able to hand out $1,000 without
missing it, so that all were anxious to
j take stock In J. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the
FIRST payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money to start his
business and was doing SO we'll he had
no difficulty In borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment. From
that time he has made money so fast
that now he could give away severa
$4,000 organs and pay for them al
well.-Chicago Tribune.

Automobile dealers and private
owners of cars are up In arms against
the proposed amendments to the New
Jersey motor vehicle law, as introduced
in the Legislature by Senator Freling-
huysen early in the week. The New
Jersey Automobile Trade Associations,
which includes practically every auto
mobile agent in the state, held meet
ing at the clubhouse of the New Jersey
Automobile and Motor Club, on Broad
street. yesterday afternoon, and slc-
neunced as unjust in the extreme the
proposed amendment which rescinds
the right of dealer to have q blanket
license covering cars which he has for
sale or delivery. and the executive com
mittee ordered that letters be sent a
once to every automobile dealer in New
Jersey. warning him Of the danger the
trade is in from the amendment and
calling a meeting, 10 be held next Mon
day in Newark, TO take definite action
on the best manner to fight the pro-
posed change.
Representative automobile clubs all
over the State have taken official
action, and will send delegates to
meeting Of the Associated Automobile
Clubs of New Jersey. the State fedora
ton, to be held shortly. in order to
map out a plan of campaign against
changes in the law, which the motor
lists declare to be not only unjust, but
unconstitutional Prior to the action
by the federation, the legislative COM
mittee of the New Jersey Autonobile
and Motor Club, of Newark, has issued
a statement in which it reviews the
amendments and the autoists stand
upon them.
The meeting of the dealers yesterday
resulted in a unanimous decision TO
fight the proposal to make the dealer
take out an individual license for every
car he sells.
"a provision of this kind included in
the law would mean that many of us
would be unable to carry on business,
said George Paddock, president OF the
dealers organization, last night.
zone of our most prominent members
has figured that it would cost him no
less than 81, 900 q year for licenses
alone, which he would have to take
out simply for a car he has in his pos
session a week at the most before max
ing delivery to the man who has bought
the machine.
"The present law recognizes the itu-
tomobile industry as legitimate bu.sl-
ness, and gives the dealer the right 10
have five different cars running at one
time by paying $25 for manufacturer
license. The proposed law makes no
such allowance and we have not even
the right to transfer the license on
new car to the man who has puf-
chased it from us.
ut may be true that automobiles
as q class are not agreed as to what
the law should be as regards the tax,
but the dealers are unit. They Will
make no fight regarding any other pro-
vision of the law. but when 1t is pro-
posed to pass legislation which VIII
put them out of business by an unfair
and uncaIled for tax they will 1gat
for their rights"

The Battin High School five fell easy
prey for the st. Benedicts College
basketball team in the game at Eliza
beth yesterday, the local collegians
winning by the score of 45 to 10. De-
spite the lopsided count the brilliant
work of both fives kept the spectators

This ended the rough tactics of the
home five, but two other fouls being
called during the remainder of the
game.
Captain Conlan, of the Newark team,
succeeded in getting loose, and scored
four field goals before the home team
was aware of the fact. Mccormick
then got busy and scored deuce from
a difficult angle. This ended the scor-
ing in the first period as far as the
visitors were concerned. The homo
