THE idea of closing the store carly
has ais brought the people out during
the day. Men and women who have
spare time to shop during the day
are down bright and early in the morn

satisfaction. They can choose their
presents better in the daylight than at

Shoppers are buying better presents
this year." said another manager
MANY people who were out Of work
last year and could not afford to give
any presents have made III this year
by giving double value. We have a
bigger stock on the counters this year
than we even had, and we will not have
any of it left next week"
In all the department stores the small
percentage of shoplifting this year has
caused comment. The losses from peo-
pie with light fingers has been smaller
than ever before. Shopkeepers at

that the country is enjoying.
1t is the thought that they have nc
money to buy presents and the sight
of a tempting gift laying apparently

WAITS OF

MADE HAPPY HERE
First Hear of Santa Claus and
Christmas Joys at Aid
Society Home.

AT the children's Aid Society rooms.
24a Mulberry street. today four chill
dren, ranging in age ron ) down to
Il years, We're for the first time in their
lives happy. They were trying, and
trying hard, to learn their A i C's.
Even the Oldest, with twelve years Of
his life gone, did not know y from T..
The four youngsters were the john
sen children who were brought in from
a lumber camp in the foothills of the
Orange mountains on Saturday by
Jared w. Kimball, superintendent of
the aid society. who has been inyes-
tigating conditions there.

that have never known any home ex-
cept q hovel in a lumber camp. where .
father, who is a victim of drink, and
u mother who did not seem to care. let
them rup as wild as they pleased.
The youngsters are described as Yeri-
table little savages in many ways. They
do not know how to eat and had never
heard of the use of a knife or fork.
Their method is TO dig in with hands
and fingers into any dish before them,
grab what they can. run away from the
table anu devour it in a corner. Knives,
forks, plates and other tableware we're
never head of until yesterday, when
they had their first real meal at the
Aid Society quarters. Before the meal
they were introduced to the bathtub.
They thought they were going to be
killed when they saw the water running
into the tub and 1t took main force OH
the part of Superintendent Kimball and
two assistants to remove the accumu
lation of dirt ground in on the quartet.
Later they attended Sunday school
and were mystiied-not by the good
words spoken by the teachers. That
was as so much Greek to them. But
the piano and the singing were Won
| ders to them. The -four sat in rapt at
tention during the singing, with eyes
| searching every corner of the room try
ing to fathom where the music came
from.
1t is the intention to teach the four
children the rudiments of the alphabet
during the Christmas holidays ana
start them to school as soon as it il
resumed afrer the Christmas vacation.
Eleven other children are still at the
lumber camp, and will be closely
watched by Mr.. Kimball. Their con-
dition, though, IS much better than
that of the Johnsons.
Today the youngsters heard for the
first time of Santa Claus and the joys
| of Christmas. Until then the name of
the magic giver of toys and the friend
of children was unkonwn to them.
Children said the superintendent,
haven't your parents ever told you
about Santa Claus, the man who comes
round On Christmas Day and distributes
presents to little boys and girls?"
NO" answered Harry; they haven't
We've heard just a little bit about
God. We don't know much about Him
1 guess persons who give away presents
for nothing on know about the place
where we lived"
The story caused the greatest aston
ishment and throughout the day the
children talked of little else. even among
the new wonders constantly unfolding
before them.

Inc loss is in the neighborhood Of
$500.
About $3.50 o'clock last night flames
were discovered in the building by
William A. B. Carlisle. Immediately
bells were sounded and the people of
the community were aroused. Those
VINO first reached the fire declared that
the flames seemed to be coming from
several parts of the building and this
gave rise to the suggestion that the
flames were of incendiary origin.
Others thought the fire started from a
defective fue.
There was no water to fight the
names, and lot of people volunteered
to save what property could be remov-
ed. Those who did heroic work were
Ellis Aaron, Frank Muller, Lewis
Label. Owen Miller and Mr.. Rosen.
The volunteers saved the register and
other important things.
A part of the building was saved bv
the volunteers carrying water from
nearby places. However so seriously
was the structure damaged that prac-
tlcally now building will have to be
erected. In the meantime there is no

PROPOSED NEW
GAME LAWS.

Assemblyman Amos II. Radcliffe of
Passaic, chairman of the House COM
mittee of fish and game, last night in
troducted a bill that, if passed, is
counted upon to.remedy all the diff
culties of Jersey sportsmmen. The
measure was prepared by Joseph
Crawford, of Newark, in conjunction
with the members of the committee,
and considered at protracted meeting
yesterday afternoon. A preamble sets
forth the experiences under present
laws, particularly uuder the statutes
enacted last year, dividing the state
into a northern and a southern hunt
ting district with different seasons.
Here is what the Radcliffe measure
provides for in effect
Repeal of hunting district law; fixes
season for upland game throughout the
state from November 10 to December
81, upland game to include rabbit.
quail, partridge, pheasant and squir-
rel; makes the duck season in North
ern New Jersey from October 1 to
January and in the southern part of
the state from November / to March
25, both being the same time as at
present except that in addition pro-
vision permits North Jerseymen to go
to South Jersey and shoot in the
southern season and take the duck
home, and vice versa fixes the seasons
for woodcock for the months of October
and November; provides that game
may not be displayed for sale or sold
until five days after the season opens,
and may be lawfully sold five days
after the seasons close.
The bill was referred by Speaker
John D. Prince to Mr.. Radcliffe S
committee and will be reported this
week, with the idea of pushing it
through as quickly as possible.

Team Made a Wild Run.

Tuesday afternoon team of horses
belonging to George Hamlyn, the con-
tractor, made a wild run and took an
unusually hazardous course in its flight.
The team was standing in the City
Park entrance, near the old cooper
shop, which is being torn down by Mr..
Hamlyn. A couple Of boys came down
Commerce street hill in toy express
wagon ana turned in the Park entrance.
The rattle of the fast speeding little
wagon frightened the horses and they
dashed northward through the Park,
dragging after them the heavy board
wagon. They swung through the
winding roadway, over three bridges
and finally were halted at the Park
farm without having done any damage
whatever.

Barbed wire is all right, for stock
cattle and makes a cheap fence, but
it is hard to construct such a fence to
turn hogs, and, owing to its danger
Gus characteristics, it is out Of the
question for horses, and even for
milch cows.
With the woven wire fence the post
expense is not SO great as that of the
other kinds as they need not be so
heavy. and may be set a good distance
apart. Heavy end posts are an abso-
Lutte necessity, and they should be set
in the ground not less than 312 to 4
feet deep. If the line posts are 20 to
20 feet apart it Is very good idea
to have every fourth post of good size,
longer than the others, to allow extra
setting. In setting end posts dig a
big hole, put the post in, and begin to
tamp and ram from the very bottom,
not filling it too fast, so as to get the
earth about the post packed from the
bottom to the top. The dead man"
plan of bracing post is perhaps bet
ter than any other. The dead man"
Is short post or heavy stone buried
about 3 feet deep, 4 feet from the
end posts, and with a cable made of
plain galvanized wire to the post top
and around the dead man the post
can be held for years as firmly as
when set. Be sure to use galvanized
wire, as black wire will not last more
than six or seven years.
A 30inch high woven wire fence,
two smooth No. 10 and one barbed
wire at the very top, makes a good
fence for any kind of stock, and can
be put up for less than 40 cents per
rod, exclusive Of posts.-Lexingto

hest Type of Milch Cows.

A COW with her second or third calf
is the most desirable of all, and this
is undoubtedly the most profitable age
to buy them. AS mixers and breed
ers, they have all their best days in
front of them, and with sufficient time
to pay handsomely. Young and old
cows are very distinct in appearance.
The former have an unmistakable ap-
pearance Of fullness of flesh and coat,
while the old ones are more or less
shrunk. The teeth give an indication
of age, and the horns are often looked
to as a guide. the young having smooth
horns. while those of the aged are
wrinkled. If cross-breeds are bought,
get them with the greatest tendency
toward the best breed the cross has
been secured from Cows with a male
or bull type of head are rarely good
mixers. The head should be refined,
neck thin, forequarters wide, square
and robust, with deep, broad thighs.

Grain Sm uts.

A dangerous parasite Of many OF the
cereal plants Is the fungus that pro-
duces in the grain or head what Is
known as smut. There are several
well known kinds Of smut, each OF
which Is caused by distinct species
Of the fungus.
The greatest loss from smuts In this
country Is from the sinking smut OF
wheat and the loose smut of oats A
considerable loss Is also due to the
Loose smuts Of barley and wheat
which are more difficult to control and
prevent. They are widely distributed,
and though they occur usually in small
quantities the damage in the aggregate
Is large. They often are entirely un-
noticed on account Of their earliness
and the absence of any conspicuous
sign of them at harvest time.
The sinking smut of wheat trans
forms only the kernels into smut balls
which do not break until the wheat Is
threshed and often remain intact in
the threshed grain. The loose smuts
Of barley, on the other hand, early dis
charge their spores, which are blown
off by the wind as soon as the smutted
head comes out of the leaf sheath;
they infect the plant in the towering
stage and enter the embryo inside the
ovary before the latter ripens into
seed. An infected seed developes
smutted plant the following year.
The most successful method thus far
found for preventing these smuts is
hot-Water treatment of the seed. This
treatment is described in Bureau OF
Plant Industry bulletin 1872, entitled
The Loose SHUTS of Barley and
Wheat" recently issued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The bulletin is a report of recent re-
searches into the life histories of these
smuts and the determination of meth
DDS for their prevention.
