CHAGR|NED OVER
 FALSE REPORTS Rev. A, H, Gunnett Declares Charitable Istitution Doesn't
 Demand Money

Rev. 4. H. Gunnett, who represents the California Children's Savings As. sociation of Los Angeles and makes periodical visits to this city, was a visitor here yesterday. He was in formed that the impression was be- coming general in Bisbee that the SO ciety which he represents made a fin aneial demand upon parties accepting children from the home. and also made financial demand upon parties seo ing children to the home One of the members of the board of supervisors stated to Mr. Gunnett that this was the impression that ne had formed of the association.
 Mr. Gunnett was much chagrined that such a report should be circu- lated as there is no truth whatever in it. Any one knowing of children in destitute circumstances and needing attention are at liberty to report the same to the management of the home at Los Angeles and they will be promptly looked after and cared for at the>expense Of the home.
 Parties desirous of adopting chil dren can apply direct to the home and will be furnished with their choice of the little ones there without any fin ancial obligation.
 The institution depends for it's main tenance upon contributions of people interested in its work and it is unfor. tunate that such an erroneous report concerning the management should have become circulated in Bisbee as there are a number of prominent fam. flies who have little ones that have been received from the home and adopted to their home circle

Encampment Was Best In Organizations
History Won Praise for Efficiency

The Second Regiment of the Nation
al Guard of New Jersey, including four
Trenton companies. broke camp at
Sea Girt, Saturday afternoon, bring
ing to close the most successful week
in the history of the organization.
Three days of the time were taken
up with the "hike" across the state
and the remarkable manner in which
the feat was accomplished elected
warm praise and favorable criticism
from everyone.
Officers of the regular army who ac-
companied the troops, declared the
men could not have done better and
the nerve displayed by the soldiers
was commented upon by Governor
Fort and Brigadier General Collins.
The general health of the men was
better this year than ever. The men
conducted themselves in n manner
most gratifying to Colonel DUNCAN
and he was so pleased with the march
TINT he says the infantry would never
go to camp again on foot, If he had
his choice.

DROUGHT COVERING MANY WEEKS
BROKEN BY COPl0US D0WNP0UR
Vegetation Revived by Fine Rain After
Suffering Weeks for Moisture.

Rain, which is general throughout
the State, began falling on Sunday
and the drought, that has caused loss
es Of hundreds of thousands OF dollars
to farmers, is broken.
1t is just such rain as will do the
most good, falling in moderate quaint
ties and being absorbed entirely by
the parched ground. but little running
away into the streams. 1t will dc
much toward replenishing the springs
and creeks, as there was no cessa
ton of the rain on Monday or Tues.
day.
The drought ended by the present
rain was the most damaging expert.
enced in Hunterdon county for many
years. There has been but one gen
eral rain since the beginning of sum
mer, and that was not heavy enough
to affect the springs.
The rain comes too late To save the
early potato crop, while all truck has
been very seriously damaged. A con-
tinuation of the drought for another
week would have practically ruined
all late crops. The corn may be saved
il the weather continues favorable for
the rest Of the season.

sary of their organization, and it will
be particularly pleasant occasion on

ing this time they have improved their
property by putting n,new hard wood
floor and steam heating apparatus
and have paid off their Indebtedness
incurred in the purchase of their pres
ent fire apparatus and the mortgage
on their real estate. And this has
been done by the members payment
of dues and fines. and last year the
whole membership contributed the
amount received by them from the
city for individual compensation.

THE AGRlCULTuRISTS.

The third field meeting of the New
Jersey State Board of Agriculture will
be held at the Agricultural College
Farm, New Brunswick, on Friday,
August 20, 1909.
This, the third summer meeting and
field day of the New Jersey State
Board of Agriculture, of the Oranges
is arranged for in pursuance of the
action of the Executive Committee of
the Board. The previous meetings of
this character held at the State Agri.
cultural College Farm were interest
ing and profitable. :Such gatherings
promote acquaintance and social in
tercourse among the farmers and their
families throughout the State, and
they afford opportunity to note what
is being done by the teaching force
and those engaged at the College
Farm in n scientific and experimental
way for the advancement of the agri-
cultural industry in New Jersey. For
this latter reason, il for no other, this
meeting affords an opportunity that
should not be ignored. To observe
what others are doing in similar lines
of work and by comparing their meth
DDS and results with our own, we may
be able to improve our methods and
increase our profits. If these results
follow this annual pilgrimage to the
State College Farm, the time will
have been wisely used. That this may
be so is the hope of the Executive
Committee.
The meeting held there August Is,
1908, was appreciated and enjoyed by
the large numbers who attended.
They came in groups of families and
friends in carriages and automobiles,
and by train and trolley, with baskets
bountifully filed with good things
from the farm home, and all had
good time. Following that meeting
arrangements were made for another
gathering at the College Farm-that
was the Farmers Week." held dur
ing holiday season, December 90. 1908,
to January 9, 1909. This meeting was
literally patronized by the farmers of
the state and its success was assured
from the opening session. 1t is the
purpose of the Board to arrange for
similar meeting this year, beginning
December 81.
BY cooperation in Agricultural
College and Experiment Station work,
in the meetings arranged by the State
Board, in Institute and Grange work,
we will be able to accomplish very
much for the further Improvement of
agriculture and farm life in the days
to come. Let us do it.
All farmers and their families
throughout the State of New Jersey
are invited to attend this meeting,
and members of the press and any
others interested in the great and i'm
portant work of agriculture will be
welcome.
