TESTIMONIALS OF GRATITUDE.


Below we print the letter of the Pres
ident of the Italian Red Cross trans
mitting the medal and diploma, and
the letter of the President of the Amer
lean Red Cross in acknowledgment.
Rome, Italy, April 10, 1909.
Illustrious Sir:
In the never-to-be- forgotten calam-
ity by which she was overcome, Italy
has found but one solace: 1t was to
feel to know that the sorrow was uni
yersal and that the heart of the world
throbbed in unision with hers.
Touching evidence of human soli-
darity came to US from every part of
your glorious Republic, but every
burst of charity was outdone by the
Red Gross, over which you preside.
sir, and which assisted her Italian
sister with supreme munificence of
relief.
May you find the medal and di-
ploma we now send you as tokens of
our gratitude, of which, however, they
are but modest outward sign, accep-
table; more durably than in the
metal is our gratefuiness engraved in
the hearts ofthe Italians, whose mind
full blessings will stand as the sacred
heritage of the generations to come.
r. TAVERNA,
President Italian Red Cross.
To the President of the American
Red Cross,
Washington, D. C.

pleasure to accept these testimonials

worth, but as tokens of the humani-
tartan spirit which joins the world
in fraternal kinship in times of great
distress.
Not less valued than they are the
SeHlllHenCS OF generous appreciation
on the part of the Italian Red Cross,
to which you give expression in your
communication.
| beg you to be SO good as to con-
yey to the Italian Red Cross the
thanks and appreciation of the Amer
lean Red Cross for their .considerate
action, and am
Very cordially yours,

STATE BRIEFS.

Attorney General Gray of Delaware
has given an opinion on the fish law
enforcement in New Jersey waters
that fully sustains the position of B.
G. Kuser, president of the New Jersey
Fish and Game Commission. Mr..
Kuser insisted on the enforcement of
the law, and Attorney General Gray
says he is right. He also says that
Delaware is in the wrong, because af-
ter agreeing to the tri State agree
ment Delaware did not enact the law
as agreed upon, which New Jersey did.
1t is possible that the Delaware Legis-
lature may amend its. fish law next
session and thus get in harmony with
the best thought on the subject of fish
protection both for fish and for fisher
men.

interesting Pieces of crockery Added
Recently to White House Collection.
Interesting pieces of china once
owned by President Fillmore were
placed recently in the White House
cabinets. They were obtained through
the efforts of Mrs. Abby G. Baker,
who has charge of the White House
collection, under the direction of Mrs.
Taft. She learned that much of the
Fillmore china could be found in Buff
falo, the former presidents old home.
There she found that two sisters. Mrs.
B. Terry and Miss Cornelia Burtis.
had bought the old Fillmore mansion
with almost all the furniture and chi

thing to the White House collection

The appeal that Cooper hospital
makes for aid to erect an additional
building, is one that should, and no
doubt will, meet with prompt re-
sponse. 1t is, perhaps, the most i'm
portant institution in this section of
the State. Since its doors have been
opened it has become indispensable
because it is now generally recogniz-
ed that in institutions of its class
alone can the best medical aids ,es-
pecially in accidents, be obtained. We
all know that the demands on it are
growing tremendously, because ply
sicians now hurry cases of accident to
the hospital, and those in this sec
tion go to Cooper, where the doors are
always open and requisite skill at
hand. We hope Gloucester County
will contribute literally to this need

A fire balloon that was sent up at
Riverside on the night of the Fourth
of July celebration came down on the
farm of Amos Evans on the Mount
Holly and Rancocas road and set fire
to a field of hay near the barns. AS
soon as it was discovered the alarm
was given and all the neighbors turn
ed out to fight the flames, which
threatened the destruction of the
buildings. Finally the flames were
extinguished, but not before a lot of
hay had been destroyed. The colts
were out in the field at the time, and
became so much excited by the fire
that it was almost impossible to con-
troll them. The people who sent up
the balloon attached a card to it on
which they had written their names.
This was secured by Mr.. Evans, who
will now call on them to pay the dam
age they caused. These fire balloons
should be prohibited by law, as they
are very dangerous.

A Farmers Enterprise.

An Iowa farmer has succeeded in
opening up big field for his enter
prise by applying an old method to a
new service He has gone into the
business of furnishing fresh eggs daily
to regular list of customers. after
the fashion of the milkmen and bakers.
This farmer is man who raises many
chickens and markets a large number
OF eggs. These he had been selling to
dealers, who in turn sent them to cold
storage warehouses or to wholesalers
Finally they got to the consumers, usu-
ally pretty stale and much the worse
for handling, through the retail grocer
or huckster When eggs were plenti-
full and the wholesalers were well
stocked up, the farmer got little for
them. When eggs were few and prices
to consumers were very, very high
the farmer found that his eggs in the
warehouses were still in competition
with the producer. This mans egg
route isn't an egg route exclusively.
He sells dressed chickens and other
farm produce, too, and when his egg
wagon is going about the driver takes
orders for other things which are raised

How to Grow Potatoes.

Director Woods Of the Maine agricul-
tural experiment station summarizes
his suggestions as to successful potato
growing as follows. What he says
about thorough preparation of the soil
is applicable to that to be used for any
crop.
Select highly fertile land, so situated
that it will suffer as little as possible
from either excessive rain or from
droughts.
Thoroughly prepare the soil and fer
itlize literally.
Spray for insects and blight, early
and often.
Keep the crop free from weeds and
the surface of the soil loose during the
whole ason.
Do not let anything prevent the po-
tato field from receiving constant care.
Vastly more failures in potato grow
ing can be traced to neglect of crop
than to lack of knowledge.
