Linn trustees and gave them full
CONTROL of the camp as we'll as
the grounds. In 1906, the Elder
ship elected Rev. f. w. Mcclure

tees. Rev. Mcclure has served
since that time. The present
trustees serving with HIM are
Revs. j. T. illegal and j M. Wag

LAFOLLETTE LASHES KEAN
New Jersey Senator Scored in Wis.
consin Senator's Magazine

"Me, too, SENATOR" is the title OF
the leading article in the LaFollette
! Magazine, of Milwaukee, Wis, issued
on Dec. 18th, that refers to Senator
| John Kean, OF New Jersey. Senator
! Kean is bitterly attacked for his stand
on the tariff, the article from the pen
of Senator LaFolletle being in part rs
follows:
"Kean is a New Jersey inancier, a
| banker and a trust company magnate.
! The greatest financial measure that has
| been before Congress IN recent years
was the Aldrich emergency BILL OF
the Sixtieth Congress. In all the weeks
of debate in the Senate on this measure
Kean Offer ed not a single suggestion.
He brought to the public service out OF
his busine S and financial experience
not IL idea. His voice was not heard
except on the roll call. And on the
| fifteen roll calls ON that measure in the
| Senate he always voted with Aldrich-
aye with Aldricb, AYE with Aldrich.
Of course, he voted with Aldrieh for the
Foraker resolution to suspend the COM
modify clause of the Interstate Com
merce Act, because the SYSTEM did not
like the commodity clause.
Gin the tariff session, Kean's partici-
patton in the discussion would not fill a
page of the Congressional Record.
Principally he devoted himself to pro.
posing OF advocating higher duties upon
products of New Jersey corporations.
In one conspicuous instance he was for
free trade. He was for free ore for the
New Jersey Zinc Trust. But he was
for t ariff on the product of the Trust"
The Penn's Grove record., 1910-01-14
The Game License

The law enacted last Winter requir-
ing every gunner to take ont a license
at a cost of 81. 90 for the State Game and
Fish Commission proved an excellent
money raiser. $4,000 were collected in
Salem county. Benedict G. Kuser,
president of the commission, has stated
that $44, 3O5 has been received this year
for licenses to shoot taken out by resi-
dents of the State. This money is at
the disposal of the commission and will
be used principally in restocking the
woods and streams. The commission
is now planting 100, 600 trout and bass,
principally in the lakes, and it expects
to spend %, 1000 for birds, which will lie
set free in every county. Bids for
supplying 5000 English pheasants and
Hungarian p~aitridges will he opened on
January IL.
While the citizens may growl to some
extent at this new tax, yet it does not
matter SO long as it is not manifested
at the ballot box. The State officials
are always looking for some new way OF
plucking tile public goose to feather
more political nests, and this tax ON
gunners has leen a great success with
but little squealing.

The State Soldiers Home

New Jersey maintains a home at
Kearney, near Newark, where INDECENT
soldiers and their wives may 60 and be
cared for in their old age.
The annual report shows that at the
close of the fiscal year, Oh October 31st,
there were 593 inmates in the home.
AT the closeOf the preceding year there
were SIS inmates and 200 were admitted
during the year, making the total num-
Der OF beneticiaries IT'S. Ninety eight
inmates we've discharged and eighty-four
died. OF those who died seventy-slx
were Civil War veterans, whose average
age was between Il and 49, ears.
The financial statement OF the home
shows total receipts amounting TO $685.
O92.1 The principal expenditures
were as follows: Administrative ex-
penses, S19,0S5; table supplies, $33,209;
clothing and clothing material, $8,113;
heat, light and power, $6,5SS; repairs,
$7,2O2. Cost of maintenance per capita
was $3.50. So. Of the inmates cared for
during the year 459 served in New
Jersey regiments and II in New York
regiments.

Fruit Growing i'm New Jersey

Just think of an orchard with 30,0 600
apple trees, 5000 pear trees, 1000 peach
trees and thirty acres of grape vines.
And then think of another with 12S
acres OF pear trees, 120 acres of peaches,
40 acres CT apples and fifty acres of
chestnuts. Sounds like California,
doesn't ii? But these are only two
samples of New JERSEYS success in
fruit growing. The first farm is near
G)sssboro, in Gloucester county, and
the second is near Moorestown, i'll Bur-
lingtOn county. The facts are that
New Jersey not only raises the best
peaches the world ever ate, but that it
can, as President Black, of the Stale
Horticultural Society, says, compete
with tile West in the production of
apples, both in size and color. Fruit of
greater beauty and excellence can't be
found any where. The Truth is that
New jerseys agricultural and horticul-
tulal resources haven't been developed
to anything like their possibilities as
yet. The city milliona:res ale helping
it along, MI. Black says, by buying
otherw Use useless mountain and marsh
land, grading the one, filling and drain
ing the other, building homes and
planting trees, it wouldn't be surpris-
ing to learn, a few years from now, that
fifty acres of South Jersey land devoted
to chestnuts was about the most profit
able part of the 500-acre fruit FARM
