Eight million post cards went
through the Atlantic City postoffice
last year, showing that the fad is still
growing. The increase is about 10 per
cent. The post card is harmless and
it's receipt often cheers a sad and lone
ly heart.

ouiFbut un Itmchy
for the rabbit pest: During the last
year this wash, which for number of
years has been employed to prevent
damage to trees by the San Jose scale
was tried with great success in several
localities as a protection for orchard
tree trunks against the attacks Of rab-
bits, says secretary Wilson. The rem
edy is cheap, and as rule a single
treatment in the fall appears to pro-
tect trees for the entire winter. Its
more extensive use is recommended.
During the year 1909 ninety-four
veterans answered the last roll call at
the New Jersey Home for Disabled
Soldiers at Kearny. Old age is killing
off the Civil War Veterans faster than
rebel bullets during the strife of 81 to
'65. Each year the death roll seems
to become greater. The Grand Army
of the Republic is steadily diminish
ing. OF the $4,000 men of New Jer-
sey, ont of a population of a little
more than 900, 900, who shouldered the
musket during the Civil War there are
only about 6, 900 left in the state.

Miss Lair has charming personal
ity, and is one of Trenton's musicians,

place in the spring.
With autos coming down in price
each year, with improvement in con-
struction, simplifying the machinery
of them so as to make them less IL
able to accident and DISBURSEMENT,
we can all see before US the prospects
of owning one of these machines with
in few years. But perhaps it may he
like the bicycle very little in demand
when the price and construction be-
came satisfactory to the purse of the
average man. Road improvement will,
however, have tendency to increase
the demand for the auto and bicycle
in the future and we can see before us
the day when the present Injuries OF
road traffic will become common
property.
1t is said that personal and poll
taxes are not outlawed until 90 years
have elapsed, and that man may be
placed in Jail for not paying such tax
es. This startling intelligence ought
to set some taxpayers who have been
delinquents for years to thinking. Or
dinarily it does not pay municipalities
to go to the necessary expense to col
lect dollar poll tax where payment is
refused, as the fees would amount to
more than the tax. but when the sum
reaches from fifteen to twenty dollars
it will pay to make the collection. Re-
fusal to pay means q term in jail &C
cording to law on the statute book
which il is said has recently been dis
covered. Better get busy you tardy
ones.
