Farmers ASK For Protection.

A large delegation of farmers ap-
peared before the Union County Agri-
cultural society Thursday to ask for
advise in relation TO protection against
thieves. One farmer said. that his en-
tire orchard had been skinned in a
single night, and others had tales OF
robbery to tell that covered all kinds
of fruit, vegetables and grain. These
raids seem to be organized with plenty
of labor and teams. 1t has become
such an evil that in some crops clean
sweep is made. The farmers favored
asking the Legislature to have mount
ed rural police, who will patrol roads
in farming sections at least from July
to October, with patrol stations and
telephone connections SC. that victims
may get assistance to save their crops.

state, who desire to operate an auto.
mobile in New Jersey.
The law was attacked by one of the
automobile companies, principally or
the grounds that it was an improper
interference with Interstate com
merce. Also on the ground that the

according to the constitutional re
quirement that property be taxed &C
cording to its value.
The court decided against the com
pany on both points.
