NEED $500 TO
START A CAMP
Woman's Club Make Appeal
to All to Purchase Red
Cross Seals.
1927 FROM LAST YEAR
Want to Make Total $500.
So Sanatorium Can be
Opened for City.

One of the main objects of the
Red Cross seals campaign in this
city this year, the Woman's Club re-
ports, Is to raise sufficient funds
which, when added to the 1927 net
ted in 1910, win total the necessary
$500 needed to enable the ladies In
terested to. equip ard maintcin a
tuberculosis Camp" between this
city and Metuchen, for the benefit OF
the citizens of Perth Amboy who are,
or may become stricken with the
dreaded white plague"
Money Held by Society.
AS will be recalled, the money
raised last year during the Red
Cross seals campaign was turned
over to the Anti-Tuberculosis So
cfety, of which DR.. William IL. Ram
sey Is president and Sidley Riddles
torffer, treasurer The funds are on
deposit at the Perth Amboy Trust
Company and are being held await
ing the result of the 1911 campaign.
1t was not thought advisable, last
year, to expend the cmount collect
ed, as it was not deemed sufficient
for the purpose intended. If the
sales this year net $500. as antici-
pated, the camp will be organized
and immediate relief given to many
sufferers.
Camps About State.
The tuberculosis camps through
out the state are considered the most
humane acts of kindness ever done
by man. The sufferers in many
crowded cities are taken to these
open air villages where they live next
to nature and enjoy fresh air and
sunshine. Those who can afford to
do SO. of course, pay nominal
charge for the benefit they derive
from the change, but as a general
rule the inmates are taken, given
every need and care free of charge.
Some time ago a similar camp was
organized near New Brunswick, un-
der the Jurisdiction of that city. but
the organizers were unable to sup
port the plan.
Appeal for Assistance.
Mrs. c. G. Baldwin. chairman of
the committee in charge of the eam-,
paign this year. informed the EVEN
ING NEWS today that the sales are
not as numerous or as large al last
year, She wishes every charitable
and fraternal organization In the
city to take an active and financial
interest In the movement and lend
aid towards making the campaign a
great success. Stamps for personal
use may be purchased at the stores
of Frank Neer and F. A. Seaman, in
Smith street. Why not paste one of
the little messengers of good cheer
on every piece of mail you send out
from now until Christmas Day?

New Brunswick, Dec. 1S Sheriff
Bollschweiler again appeared In the
role of judge this morning. He has
a Jury OF his own selection trying
the case, with Joseph e. Stricken at
tOrney on one side and James s..
Wight on the other.
After hearing the evidence and a
charge by Sheriff Bollschweiler, the

Amboy. Some time ago, Hogya
claims, Slaninka whacked him over
the head~with an iron bar. He want
ed to sue Slaninka In the circuit
court, but couldn't get the defendant
to answer with the result that judg-
ment by default was given to the
plaintiff.
Then Judge Lloyd directed Sheriff
Bollschweiler to determine the
amount OF the damages and author
ized him to summon jury to assist.
What is the market value of a
whacR in the head?" was in effect
the question before the court.
At 10 o'clock Joseph e. Stricken,
counsel for Holya, started putting in
his evidence, no one appearing for
the defense. Holya went on the
stand and testified that Slaninka had
struck him back of the ear with an
iron bar, running the hearing OF that
ear and subjecting him to dizzy
spells that interfered with his work
DR.. Louis Meinzer was then called
and testified that the blow had been
the cause OF Holya's injury.
Mr.. Stricken then summed up,
asking the jury to give $4,000 dam
ages. The jury was about to retire
when Lawyer James Wight appeared
and said he was for the defendant.
But the case was called for 10
O'clock" said Mr.. Stricken.
THE notice got said 10: 30,'' re-
sponded Mr.. Wight.
Let's look at it, said Mr..
MT. Wight who was wearing one

tomobile accident he was in last

There was nothing to do then but
start all over Meanwhile. however,
DR.. Meinzer had left the court house,
and Mr.. Stricken had to rush down
town to head him Off
The case was re-started. Mr..
Stricken objected to the defense be-
ing represented at all after failing
to file a plea, but the sheriff allowed
Mr.. Wight TO proceed to enter lot
of objections.
Objections overruled," ordered
Sheriff Bolischweiler with an air of
a regular judge.
Mr.. Wight persisted until he had
few pages OF objections recorded.

nounced the sheriff.
After the plaintiff and DR.. Meinzer
had been heard, the case was adj

TAX COMMISSIONER coRsIN IN
 TERESTEp.

The oyster interests of, the state .oi Connecticut have employed criticism and ridicule against Tax 'Commis- Sicner Corbin for his estimate of theil holdings and intimated that through his Ignorance and arbitrariness he would cripple an important Connecti- cut industry.
 Read the following from the An sonia Sentinel:
 No wonder former Governor Wood run favers the passage of the Corbin b1ll. providing for the adequate tax atisn of oyster lands. Few people can fail to take the same stand when they are informed that the oyster lands of Smith & Sons, of New Haven, have just been sold for :1,00o,O00 but last year, under a new assessment, paid a tax of only s1,500.''
 And that new assessment was such g. burden that the owners just screamed.
 The Sentinel is right when it says Tt is said that Rhode Island, last year received $111. 900 from the taxation of oyster beds, while Connecticut, which has ten times the oyster acreage of Rhode Island. received only s9,0oO Connecticut should receive a fair re- turn from the oyster industry the same as from other industries

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Excursion to Ukiah.

Mir. Editor: On April first there was an excursion from San Francisco and the cities on the route, through the great valley of the Russian river, to ty, by the N W. railroad. Crossing the Golden Gate, the road passes through Marin county, thirty miles to Sonoma county, through a hilly coun- try when they reach this city, Peta- luma.' Then they go northwest through the county of Sonoma fifty miles, thence thirty miles to Ukiah
 The river flows from the mountains in southeast direction, until it strikes mountain thirty-five miles north of Petaluma. and thence flows into the ocean in a southwest course South of the river is grand fruit land forty by thirty miles in extent.
 I never saw the country look more beautiful. The hills and mountain sides were green, and fields of grain were growing from five to ten inches high. And on every side the orchards were in full bloom. Cherries were just out of bloom and peaches were begin ming, while prunes in vast areas shone like fields of snow, field after field, as far as the eye could reach.
 In the houselots were white and crimson li1acs in full bloom, and gor- geous Japan tree peonies. Occasion ally an acacia treee twenty feet high.
 
 green, would appear like a globe of gold, with it's thick small yellow flow CTS.
 At the city of Healdsburg we cross ed the Russian river by a long bridge. and kept up a narrow valley on the west side of the river. For twenty miles it is almost continuous vine yard: and one of the greatest in the state. The grounds have peculiar appearance now. The grape vines are planted about eight feet apart each way. They are pruned about the first of the year to stump. about a foot high leaving from five to six buds to a,plant, to form the vines for the year These grow to be large vines. and bend over. until the tops reach the ground.

three to five tons to the acre. The yineyards extend from the river back on to the foothills. Mingled with these vineyards are small orange gar dens some yellow fruit hanging on the trees. On every side the fields and the roadside are decorated with wild flowers. Among these, patches of gold appear. the golden poppy of California.
 Upon leaving Sonoma county, the railroad enters a narrow gorge in the mountains on the west side of the rlv- CT, following it's sinuosities for twenty miles, cutting, way in the side of the mountains, overlooking the stream ana tunnelling the points of rock that ob- struct After this we come to broad valley. twenty miles long, in the cen- ter of which is the city of Uklah. the county seat of Mendocino county. Here are fruits and flowers and hop fields. California hops bring the highest prices, for they are raised without rain.
 All vegetables are freely growing all winter in the gardens, so that we have all fresh in all the year. Peas and beans are now in market; strawberries are nearly ripe.
 In my garden the pansies have bloomed all winter Hyacinths and daffodils are out of bloom. Tulips and narcissus are in full bloom. The Jap anese tree peony, shrub about i've feet high. has from thirty to forty splendid blossoms on each tree, large, double and from white to deep crim- son in color. Callas are in profusion, with their pure white blooms are ready for Easter decoration
 Our people are much gratified at obtaining the Panama exposition. The exact locality for it has not been chos- en. We never have any storms of rain from April to November. Last year we did not have drop of rain in that time E. s. LIPPITT.
