The Legislative Hopper Full Of Bills

A large grist of bills were introduce
ed in the legislature last Monday
night. In the assembly, Mr.. Otto, the
lone Republican of Hudson, intro
duced bill which would give cities
and towns which desire it a wide-open
Sunday, both as to liquor selling and
amusements.
Mr.. McKeag, of Middlesex, bill
to take from the State Board of Edu-
cation and vest in the Governor the
appointment of county school super
intendents; also to end the terms of
all county school superintendents.
Senator Wakelee introduced bill
creating jury commission in each
county, to consist of the Sheriff and
two commissioners of different poll
tical parties, to be appointed by the
County Judge, the salary of each not
to exceed $500 a year.
Assemblyman Nichols, of Cumber-
land, introduced a bill to abolish the
State Railroad Commission He takes
the ground that the commission, which
he asserts costs the State 100000 a
year, has practically no power to reg
ulate railroads and is a useless body.
By vote of II to the Senate pas
sed bill increasing from $4,000 with
out maintenance to $4,000 with main
tenance the salary of the superinten-
dent of the Railway Reformatory. The
action was taken to make the position
attractive to the Rev. DR.. Frank Moore
who resigned the presidency of the
Pennington Seminary to accept the
superintendent at Railway upon the
promise of an advance in salary.

WATCH FOR SLEEPERS.
From Trenton True Americana

[From Trenton True Americana
| There are evidences that Governor
Fort and his friends in the Legislature
| have not yet abandoned hope of raid
| ing at the last minute the State school
moneys. The Legislature is now en-
tering upon the sixth week of its
session Not a measure has been
presented to Governor Fort for his
approval, and not decisive step has
| been taken toward solution of the
financial difficulties with which the
State is confronted. The demand of
the public that something be done has
been answered with vague promise
that the State will enter upon a per-
iod of economy and that the difficult
ties will be solved in that way.
In the meantime Governor Fort
gives no sign of having acceded to the
demand of the people that the school
moneys be let alone He is said still
to believe that the only thing to do
| is for the State to take what it needs
of the school moneys, leaving what
ever deficiency may thus be created
| to be raised by local taxation.
! Rumors emanate from the State
House that are at least disquieting to
an air of eyasiveness, and evidences
of purposeful delay on the part of the
| legislative majority that bodies i'll.
Moreover, there appears to be an or
ganized effort on the part of certain
administration newspapers in the
State to convince the public of New
Jersey that Governor Forts plan is
not so harmful as it is painted. The
/ n oil 70 iCf Cd
the aid of the newspaper correspond
ents of Trenton in giving the financial
dose which he prescribes nice sugar
coat, evidently hoping that the tax
payers of the State may be induced
to swallow it without wry face.
| Thus it is that we find the newspapers
of New York and Philadelphia carry
| ing columns of veritable rot about
| how rapidly the Governors plan is
gaining in popularity here in New
| Jersey.
1t is all very we'll for newspapers,
whose only aim is to secure circula-
ton without regard to the means en-
| ployed, and for nameless and there
fore irresponsible correspondents to
pirate about the Governors scheme
| growing in popularity" but the
statement is devoid of truth. From
! the time the Governors plan was pro-
posed until the present day public
opinion against it has never wavered.
1t all goes to show that the friends
of the schools must be on their guard.
There is strong probability that an
effort will be made at the last minute
to grab funds from some source and
none are in such great danger as the
school funds. In the last days of the
| legislative session every bill that can
| in any way possible affect the public
schools or the finances of the State
must be carefully watched, and those
who would faithfully guard the inter
est of the schools should insist upon
full and sufficient time to consider
every measure.
The people of New Jersey are not in
a mood for trifling on this subject, and
| if raid is accomplished at the last
minute, no matter by what means.
| whether by railroaded bill, by a
sleeper" by substituted amendment
or what not, the blame will be placed
upon those who permit as we'll as up
on those who perpetrate the cheat

THE FERTILITY OF EGGS.

We read much about feeding for fer
tility of eggs, as if there was special
method of ration to charge an egg with
embryos.
Put that theory under hen, and she
will desert the nest.
Just use the old method and furnish
your hens with grit and shell, green
food, cut bone, fresh water, pure air
and good grain in deep litter for food
and blood circulator.
Add to this lively, loud voiced
strong lunged, broad backed, strong
legged, full breasted, busy male.
That's our plan to bring bright eyed
ruff1e fiuff1es, and our egg customers
will tell you it works. Yes, we'll let
you feed soft mash, too, even if the
goose bone prophets say you shouldn't.
To test their theory that mash
brings infertiles or weak chicks, we
fed pen on an equal three part
crumbly mash of mids, cornmeal, bran
and scrap almost exclusively and never
get more or harder chicks from any
other ration.
You get infertile eggs when hens are
overworked for winter eggs, weakened
by inbreeding and disease, oyerfat.
overfed, underfed, nearly dead and i'm
mature; when they have been burned
with red pepper, doped with egg tonic
and drugged with cattle powder and
when there are too many hens to a
pen or too many roosters to a hen.

How to Cleanse sponucs.

Soiled spouges can be quickly fresh
ened by rubbing the juice of lemon
well into them. then rinsing several
times, first in hot water and then in
cold. An occasional sun bath Is excel
lent, and thorough washing with am
monia water every few weeks should
not be omitted. In using a sponge for
n young child. or, indeed. for any one.
no matter how carefully it is supposed
to be washed, it should be run through
very hot water before using.

CHESTNUT STREET OPERA HOUSE,
PHILADELPHIA.
A Remarkable Drama of the new Gen.
fury, The servant in the House"

1.-THE Servant in the House." presented ~
the Henry Miller Associate Players, including
Edith wynne Matthison Tyrone Power, Wal
ter Hampden, Arthur Lewis. Mabel Moore.
Frank Mills, and Ben Field, has just begun its
first presentation in Philadelphia at the Chest
! nut Street Opera House. That it is an epoch
and all who are interested in the develop men
of the stage as well as those who love to sit
under the spell of hesrt-gripping play should
not fail to see it,
1t has been called an allegory, a miracle play
and religious drama, This is probably be-
cause of the presence among the personae of
Manson, man who walks before God and the
world as spotless the Christ whom he
sembles in appearance as well as character.
Mason, humbly but with dignity, enters
house where discord reigns and hatred is conn.,
ing in from without. BY his influence, ind efina-
BILE yet all powerful, he brings order out of
chaos contentment out Of misery and perfect
faith from fear. He is not superhumsn nor is
he mysterious His potency is but result of
the nurturlng of that germ of Divinity latent in
every man. With Manson this has been devel-
oped until he is Christ like
1t is q drama of to-day whose characters in
the main are the result of modern social, in-
dustrial and ecclesiastical conditions. All,
save Manson, are going thro' the furnace Of
bitter personal experience, which is hardening
their hearts and warping their souls. Manson
long ago passed thro' the fire and en- rged pur-
flied with clear vision and strong will.

New Jersey soldiers cannot go to
the Taft Inauguration at State ex-
pense because the price is not in
sight. It's kind of humiliating to be
a protector of the richest State in the
Union, and not be allowed to go to
the inauguration of the biggest Presi-
dent ever, cause theirs no mon in the
treasury. The like never happened
before, even when the State was reck-
less, and advertised the laws in news
papers.

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.


sWhy don't my pullets lay?' is q
frequent question sent us. Your pull
let's may be of age and fed correctly
but there is a factor often disregard
ed. They should be bred from laying
ancestry; otherwise they are only prof
table for feather beds and potpie.
On Oct. /, 1908, there were 1,671, 75s
cases of eggs in cold storage, valued al
$12, 533, 1876. To advance the price or
ders were only half filed. If people
would only take the hint and put III
eggs in water glass they could make
the trust cry, "Alas, alasr'
A genius is raising poultry, growing
mushrooms and running a frog pond
What list of delicacies!
Gather the goose eggs quickly, lest
they get chilled. and keep the ducks il
till 10 in the morning, or they will lay
in the water.
A man is not to be blamed for al
lowing his wife to trim the incubator
lamps. Just as it takes good WON
an to keep fool man straight, so
takes a woman to trim lamp wicB
straight.
The incubators are working double
time to get out the early chicks New.
er run machine with smoking lamp
or one that leaks. It's a good plan tc
have extra lamps, thermometers, etc.
on hand for accidents.
Make a resolution in the spring thai
you will cut out sloppy cornmeal for
chicks. Feed them dry ground mixed
grains to get the gains.
Be sure when you order, eggs or birds
to mention where you saw the deal
er's advertisement appear. Nearly all
the journals, if this is done, refund
your loss and help bring the guilty
party to justice.
The insurable incubator is now for
sale. Whether the machine is fire
proof or not depends on the man who
tends the machine. Always have sew
eral fire extinguishers in your incu,
bator and brooder houses for emer.
gencies.
One reason for such poor matches is
the mating Of male to too many hens,
This is often the trouble on the farms
where such large flocks are kept One
male to fifteen hens is correct.
The next time you go among the
chickens play rooster and crow Every
time you crow the hens will nod their
heads. So ought all the sisters applaud
man when he does something com.
mendable.
You must take the cat in hand when
the chicks appear. Introduce them.
You will be surprised how quickly Tab
will understand. Cats do not bother
white so much as colored chicks, as
the latter look like birds. In Matching
season feed meat to the cats, and
they'll only bother the long tailed rats,
1t is criminal offense to poison cats
and dogs. TIE make dumb animals suf.
fer the lingering death that such poi.
son often inflicts is heinous. If your
neighbors' pets bother you, have q
quiet brotherly talk with him, and all
will come right

How to Care FOR snowshoes.

Snowshoes need very little care. You
don't have to wipe them dry with a
chamois, for instance-the prescribed
treatment for skates. When taking
them off merely tap them against the
wall or a tree to shake free the cling
ing snow and stand them up on their
heels outside Never attempt to dry
them before a fire When they are put
away for the summer select dry
place where there win be no danger Of
mice.

LEGISLATIVE FACTS.

Including Simon Hahn's charge of
$4,000 for counsel fees, the expense
bill submitted as result of the in
vestigation conducted by the Crimes
and Dependency Commission totals
about $1,000. 1t will require about
$4,000 to take care of the bill con-
tracted by the Excise Commission.

A widespread effort to stir upmili-
tant sentiment in favor of the passage
of the local option bill introduced by
Senator Plummer at the request of
the Anti-Saloon League, will be made
next Sunday, when sermons will be
delivered in churches in every city
and town of the State urging the en-
actment of the proposed legislation.
Senator Plummer, by the way, is the
only member of the Legislature who
was elected on pledge to support a
local option bill. But those behind
the bill, directed by J. Frank Burke,
the league lobbyist, hope to develop
influences that will force other law
makers into line on the measure.
Every pastor in the State has re-
ceived a copy of the Plummer bill, to-
gether with literature on the subject
which will furnish ammunition for
agitation in it's favor. The local OPP
ton bill is in the hands of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, of which Mr..
Frelinghuysen is chairman. Legisla-
tive wiseacres believe that the Senate
committee will be reluctant to report
it. Considerable interest has been
manifested in the bill because it was
drawn by Sommer, Colby and Whiting,
the trio of Newark reformers who are
now partners in the practice of law
They declare that the bill as drawn
cannot be successfully attacked on
constitutional points.
The fact that fourteen States have
already enacted laws to regulate the
practice of optomerity, or the fitting
of eyes with glasses will be advanc-
ed as reason for the Legislature to
pass Mr.. Sullivan's House bill No. ISL,
which provides for the creation of
State Board of optometrists, to consist
of five members appointed by the Gov
ernor. 1t is claimed that there are a
great many persons engaged in opti
cal work in New Jersey who are in
competent pretenders, and it is there
fore imperative that law should be
enacted to insure that all persons who
engage in treating the delicate organ
ism of the eye are qualified for such
practice.

CITY INFORMATION
 IS BEING GATHER ED

Charles J. Fay. who will be City Auditor under the next city adminis- tration. has been engaged since Sep tember i6 among the archives of Mont gomery in preparing a complete set of statistics of the citts affairs.
 City Clerk Black in talking yester- day of the work of preparing the Sta- tistics. said: "It is e work which is and has long been sadly needed in Montgomery. I do not wish to be Ln- derstood as crlticislng any former ad- tninistrations or the work of any fr- mer city employees. but it is neverthe- less true that the collection of infor- nation concerning the city's business for past years calls for extended hard work and tedious researchang. The work that Mir. Fay Is doing will make it easy for the Council or members to secure acucrate and concise informa- ton on any desired point.
 Tt Is frequently necessary that the Council be furnished snch Information and a call for inofrmation may come at any time from various departments of the city's affairs. Under the sys- tenn long in force it has been a source of endless work to dig up this data.

Frank N. Julian, Secretary of State and Insurance Commissioner. left Montgomery yesterday for PhiIade'- phia, on business connected with the administration of his office. He wIll not return for a week or ten days.
 Mr. Julian, before his departure. mo- titled the sheriffs. justices and police chiefs of the State that, inasmuch as the new fire marshal law does not go into effect until october 1. there is no necessity to report suspicious eases for investigation by the new method until after that date.
