Lavinus Austin Had a Pleasant Trip

Lavinus Austin returned home on Thursday
evening Of last week from a three weeks visit
10 Philadelphia, Plainfield, Railway, Wood
bridge, Port Reading and Perth AmbOy, N. j.
Woodbridge is the home OF Mr.. Austin's
brother. Working the claybanks is the CHIEF
Industry Of that place. 1t is fiRe sight, as
the clay has all she colors Of the rainbow.
This clay is shipped all over the world.
Port Reading is one ofthe distributing places
of the Reading Coal Co. 1t is a very interest
ing sight to see the large locomotives pushing
a few loaded cars Of coal up a very high trestle,
the coal to be dumped into shutes so as to load
vessels.
Perth Amboy is quite a large city and the
indications are that It will be a very much
larger one than II now is. There are some very
handsome residences, stylishly built from
cement blocks aud fancy brick, made at some
of the many terra Gotta works that line the
road nom Sewaren to Amboy.
Sewaren is a fashionable residential place of
the New York business men. 1t faces staten
Island Bay.
Perth Amboy is opposite Tsltenham, Staten
Island, a line offerry boats connect both places
Plainfield is on the New Jersey Central Rail
road. Surrounding the heart ofthe city is one
continuous park of beautiful residences. Harry
C. Corsa, who lived in Milford Neck for many
years, resides there.
Whileon his visit he took several trips through
the New York Subway. It is much larger and
in every way far ahead Of the Philadelphia
Subway.
While in New York City and New Rochelle
he visited a mum Der Of the boys and girls Of
hisschOol boy days.

nish sanitary milk to few private families in

entirely free of this disease. My motto will be
cleanliness, and respectfully invite the people
of Milford to visit my farm, inspect my COW
barn, and manner of handling the milk when
it is taken from the COW. The Jersey COW is

AN %oBDURATB OLD MAN.

There is a very peculiar case being
tried in Pittsburg. An irate father,in.
law shot his daughters husband and
made of him a cripple for life. He was
arrested for the offense and sent to
Jail for five years. The young man
also obtained a judgment against him
for the injury in the mount of $4,000.
The old nan was visited in Jail the
other day by the children and advised
that if he would say he was sorry for
the rash act, they would not only do
all in their power to secure his par.
don, but that no effort would be made
to collect the judgment of $40, 900.
The only reply was that he would sec
them after he had served out his term
in Jail. Under the circumstances the
son-in-law will proceed to collect the
money and take chances on what the
old man will do after he has played
checkers with his nose for five years.
This will give him a good long time in
which to think over the evil of his
ways, and Imprisonment quite often
has a s%oftening influence.

THE CATTLEMEN's RESOLUTIONS

There appears to be no probability
of the stockmen all getting together
on a safe and sane land policy. Each
individual is inclined to look at the
matter from his own standpoint and
hopes for a law hat will give him
just what he wants. As conditions diff,
fer in almost every locality, there is
a wide diversity of opinion. Those
who are we'll fixed at present, ask to
be let alone and those who have plen,
ty of leased land are opposed to other
people having leased land, for the rea-
son that it might restrict their open
range.
In Albany county both the sheep and
the cattlemen have favored a reason.
able lease law, but the sheep men this
year took occasion to oppose in bitter
terms the 'Pinchot policies" 1t was
very noticeable that the sheep men
did not say anything in relation to a
lease. law, leaving the broad inference
that they stand where they have al
ways stood upon that proposition. The
cattlemen, in convention assembled,
have adopted resolutions that have no
uncertain meaning. They favor a
lease law that will give preference to
the settler TO lease contiguous areas
and they stand for President Roose-
welt and his administration Forester
Pinchot is commended.
Thus the line between the two or
CARNATIONS is squarely drawn and the
anUagonism is such that there is little
hope that anything can come from wy,
oming recommendations. AS Colonel
Bell remarked before the senate com
mittee a e ago, there are SO many
different ideas among the people that
Il is impossible for the lawmakers to
