ATTACKED WOMAN
ON THE STREETS
bastard Makes Effort to Rob
Mrs. Fairy.
FRIGHTENED AWAY
Woman Was Badly Frightened But
Screams Caused Man to
Run Off.

Mrs. Clarence Fairy, who resides
at corner of Walnut and Marion SITS :,
was on her way home from down
town on Monday evening, when she
was 'held up' on North Pearl street
by man who darted out of the lane
at the corner of the McGear residence.
Mrs. Fairy had her arms full os
packages and in her handbag was a
little more than twenty dollars.
AS the fellow attempted to seize her
and grasp the bag. she uttered a
scream and fled, dropping some of her
packages. She fled SO quickly that the
bastard did no get hold of her, and she
held on to her valuables.
The fellow had been secreted in the
lane and watched his opportunity when
he saw the lone woman approaching. A
fairy good view was had of the fellow
in the momentary rush he made at her,
but Mrs. Fairy had no idea who he
was, nor what direction he took when
she fled.

PRAISE FOR
THOSE RETIRING
Councilmen in Last Meet
ing.
COMPLIMENT FOR CLERK
C0uncilmen Blew and Stevenson
Will Retire-Kind Words
From Colleagues.

There was an unusual and very
interesting scene presented in City
Council Chamber last night, when
David S. Blew and Charles H. Steven
son concluded their terms as members
of the organization.
There have been many Councilmen
to come and go. There have been
scores of last meetings of the year, but
at no time has every member of
Council expressed their high appreci-
alton of each other. and had present a
representative citizen to commend the
body for its administration.
Just before the Council adjourned
Mr.. Mulford addressed the President
and said that there were present two
members who were about concluding
their terms and he felt that there
should be some expression from them
Personally he acknowledged an in
debtedness to both. Mr.. Blew and Mr..
Stevenson, for as new member he
had been greatly benefited by their
assistance and advice.
Mr.. Blew suggested that he would
fully appreciate the Councilmen in the
future. He knew something Of what
they had TO do and realized that there
would be criticism even with the
best possible efforts being put forth.
He declared that'it would always be
his pleasure as citizen to sustain City
Council The associations of the past
year he said were highly pleasurable.
Incidentally he had given the city
thirteen vars of service.
Mr.. Stevenson was emphatic when
he said that the year just closing had
been the most pleasant of all the II
years he had given service to the
public. He came into this Council
with speaking acquaintance with
most of the members, but his associ-
alton had given him more intimate
knowledge Of the men and he had
learned to respect them as earnest,
high minded men. Mr.. Stevenson said
that he desired to predict that the
city Of Bridgeton would in years to
come, be better as result of the work
of City Council during the present
year. While it was possible to see
everything more clearly at the end Of
the year than in the beginning, it was
certain that much had been accom-
pilshed looking toward better govern
ment.
G. W. Shoemaker, who was present
upon business, said he wanted to
supplement the remarks of Mr..
Stevenson. He said he had been q
Bridgeton pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1884-1919, 1909-12-23

resident of Bridgeton 45 years, and he
recalled the days when most sub
stantlal men were in Council. But
Mr.. Shoemaker felt that there had
never been time when the affairs of
the city had been so successfully, so
we'll governed, as during the present
year. Never had Bridgeton had a set
Of men to look after the city s
interests, who we're more unselfish,
more earnest. more conservative men
who were bigger than partisanship.
Mr.. Shoemaker said he desired to
cong ratulate the city upon its Cit
Council of 1909.
Mr.. Stevenson referred to the work
of City Clerk Frank L. Hewitt. He
expressed for himself ard the other
members of Council appreciation of
the assistance given by Mr.. Hewitt.
Quiet, unostentatious, he was always
guiding the CounciImen properly. No
matter how many right motions were
made in the wrong way, the City
Clerk was always ready to smooth out
the inaccuracies and have the wrong
righted. Upon motion of Mr.. Steven
son vote of thanks was rendered Mr..
Hewitt.
Mr.. Hewitt thanked the members
for their good will, and suggested that
the 1S years he had been Recorder had
been pleasant and this year he had
particularly appreciated the position.
In all these 1S years. Mr.. Hewitt has
been absent from meetings but three
times.
President Glaspell expressed his
personal appreciation of both Mr.. Blew
and Mr.. Stevenson, and also Clerk
Hewitt
1t was then announced that Council
would have dinner at the Hotel
Commercial on January first

HIGH IN THE AIR
Vane Surmounting Tower Will be
One Hundred and Thirteen
Feet in the Air.

Carpenters are at work upon the
handsome tower that will surmount
the big county buildings.
When the tower is finished it will be
high in the air, lifting its top fifty
five feet from the present stone work.
The great weather vane that will cap
the golden ball at the very peak will be
one hundred and thirteen feet from the
around.
The tower is a beautiful piece of
work from an architectural standpoint.
There will be ample space for the re-
constructed town clock, the dials being
four feet in diameter.
The tower is to be tied to the main
building with innumerable iron rods
and braces, making it absolutely Sc
cure.
All the material for the tower is now
stored upon the third floor of the
county buildings and is ready for the
carpenters to take up as it is de-
manded
The special committee of City
Council has authorized the replacing
Of the fire alarm striker which will be
placed in the tower. Contractor Han
kins will place special flooring in the
tower for the equipment. The entire
installation Of the striker will cost
less than 800.

AFTER TURKEYS.

A representative of the Victor Talk
ing Machine Company, of Camden, has
been in Bridgeton this week, looking
for turkeys. Each year the company
gives every one of its employees a
turkey for Christmas, and the scarcity
of the festival birds is causing the
Victor management good deal of
concern. The representative who was
here this week offered producers 3Oc a
pound for all of their turkeys in bulk.
He said it would take more than 1000
turkeys to make the annual distri-
button.

maturity within a single season. sometimes
within 60 days of planting, and must. there
FORE be sown from the seed for each recnr-
ring crop year. AS a botanical species 1t does
not of itself travel far and is propagated ra-
ther feebly by natural means. Consequently
the widespread knowledge OF corn shows to
what extent it must have been cherished by
the Indians and how 1t must have been hand
ed on from one tribe and country to another.
There are six well-known kinds of Indian
corn, with innumerable varieties. including
pop corn. flint corn. dent corn. soft or Cuxco
corn (the name indicating some traditional
origin from PERU, and the delicious sweet
corn. The pop corn is supposed to be the d.

AS food product maize has few equals
among the cereals. The Indians thrived on it.
and long as they continue its use they
show much Of their pristine sturdiness, but
when by climatic or other reasons it is de-
MED them they suffer in physique and morale
In Asia and Africa maize is likewise a food
for man. but in north Europe 1t has not at
tanned the popularity it merits. although its
nutritive value far surpasses, at the same
cost. many Of the food products the peasant
consumes. Strong effort has been made by
the United States government to introduce
corn into Europe in all its different culinary
forms, but the conservatism of the old world
Is not easily overcome In favor of food pro
ducts from the new.

in which maize Is eaten to-day in America are
all inherited directly from the aboriginal
planters and housewives from Cape Cod to
Chile.
The corn of the present commercial mar
ket. however. is a more highly developed
grain than that which the Europeans found
when they first landed. Science has improved
the species in this as In other products OF the
fields. The appropriate conditions of soil and
climate have been studied, with resulting In
creased knowledge the subject. Corn de-
mands rich land. Clay must be avoided:
swampy, undrained areas are unsuitable, while
too much shade, as is often caused by close
proximity to timber. is sure to be harmful
Land can be drained. however. timber can be
cut, or the shady places can be utilized for
other purposes. Soil can be improved by fer
tilizers. or in many cases fertilization may be
accomplished while at the same time secon
dairy crops may be raised by wide planting Of
corn and interplanting between the rows.

Pueblo Indians on the Rio Grande, and from
them eastward to the Mississippi. Carried
northward by the 1roQuois and Algonquins, it
was stopped only by climatic severity at the
latitude Of the Great Lakes and the lower
area Of the state of Maine. Its culture ex
tended south through Guatemala and other
portions Of Central America and even across
the IsthInus Of Panama; thence 1t was carried
into the Andean regions and extended finally
a. far south In Chile the climate permitted
or as the Indian population desired. East of
the Andes the spread of maize by nature was
restricted by the dense forests Of the Amazon
slope and by the lower altitude Of that great
drainage basin. because Indian corn requires
for its growth definite climatic conditions
which this portion of South America does not
offer. There is exact evidence that the
region Of the River Platte. now so wonderfully
productive of maize. was utilized by the ma
tive Indian tribes resident there prior to the
coming Of the Spaniards.
From America maize was first introduced
into Spain. Thence 1t spread throughout Eu-
rope and into Asia and Africa. In eastern Eu-
rope 1t unfortunately received the name Of
Turkish wheat because Of the erroneous no
tion prevailing that the (present) West Indies
being India everything introduced from there
must necessarily come through Turkey. Other
confusing names imply some indefinite origin
Of this kind, but the geographic prefix refers
simply to the commercial, not to the agricul-
tural source of the grain. The Portuguese
carried maize into Africa in the sixteenth CEN
tury and by them 1t gradually spread over
much Of the continent. In this connection it
is interesting to note that the staple foods of
the wild Inhabitants of the dark continent
maize. manioc or cassava and pineapple-have
all been introduced through some such routes
of trade and commerce.
Maize early reached India and Burmah II
grows there now everywhere among the hills

plant, easily cultivated and rich in
nutritious elements, 1t can never be
displaced as one OF the leading food
products for mankind.
Maize will not grow In all climates,
however. 1t requires long summers with pleh.s
Of sunlight. hot days and nights with sum
cient but not too much rain. The range pes.
suited for the crop 10 from Is to IS degrees r.
of mean temperature. but 1t will produce most
abundantly with maximum temperature OF
about so degrees F. and q rainfall Of from 30
to so inches. Frost kills the plant in all its
stages and 1t cannot flourish where the nights
are cold, no matter how favorable the other
conditions In the United States an elevation
of over 1000 feet seems too high for the COM
mercial growth Of Indian corn. but Of course
the farther south 1t IL traced the higher is the
elevation at which luxuriant crops are the
rule In Mexico vast maize fields are found
at q height of over $500 feet and in Peru 1t
grows at an altitude Of 1900 fest.
Indian corn was found over most Of the
United States east of the Mississippi by the
earliest explorers and settlers. 1t was the
crop to which the Indians gave most attention
and the great staple that turned them from
the nomadc life Of the chase into the home
building people such as agriculturists must
be. The primitive method of preparing the
ground was by tilling with hoes made of clam
shells, but the English taught more improved
methods, although the latter learned the ad-
vantage of fertilizins with herrings which the
Indians applied abundantly to the surrounding
soil. Their hills were five feet apart-a prac-
tical distance that can be decreased only when
the soil is rich and the climate very favorable.
As the explorers Travelled southwark they
found different varieties and different methods
of preparing it for food. 1t was made into
meal; it was boiled or parched or roasted.
Often it was prepared into 4 flour and served
as provision for Journey. The many forms

maize with them. and as
no trustworthy evidence
has ever been brought

dates, 1t Is safe to say
that its march from

Is well established.
