Wants RAILROADS TO
: RESTORE OLD RATES
EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO GET
REDUCED RATES ON MAchlN.
cry FOR REPAIR.
Rate Was Discontinued Some Years
Ago-Matter viii Be Settled at
Fargo Meeting.

There was time when the railways
made half rate on freight charges
to residents of North Dakota who
desired to ship farm machinery to
the factories where it was made for
repairs. After obtaining for some
years this rate was suspended on the
motion of the carriers themselves
and full charges exacted.
AT its meeting yesterday the state
railway commission considered a pc
tition of the Minneapolis Thresh:QD
Machine Co. of Fargo and Grand
Forks, N. D., and applications Of other
shippers to have the one-half freight
rate restored. All the railway CON-
panies doing business in North Da-
kota are parties to the action.
A hearing is set by the commission
for Fargo, September 8, when all par
ties to the action will be heard. The
railway commissions of Minnesota,
South Dakota. Nebraska, Missouri and
number Of other states have had
the matter up and in each instance
Lave ordered the one-half rate rein
stated.
This case is considered of much i'm
portance by the people of North Da-
kota and the hearing in Fargo will
likely attract much attention.
Representatives of all the railways
will be present to urge justification
of their action in arbitrarily suspend
ing the half rate. Shippers of the
state will be on hand to present their
showing.
There is a similar case now pending
before the interstate commerce COM
mission of the United States, but the
railway commissioners of all the
states adjoining North Dakota have
not waited for decision of the ma.
tional body but have acted independ-
ent Of it.

Program is Outlined for the
October Meeting
-Four Days Of Program and
Entertainment

A skeleton program has been ar
ranged for the meeting of the State
Federation of Women's clubs, October
10, II, IL and 10, at Devils Lake. Many
plans were discussed which will prob
ably later be carried out, but which
are not completed to such an extent
at present as Will warrant publica-
ton. The president talked over new
and interesting numbers for the
program with the committee and an
ticipates the coming meeting as a
most beneficial one for the federation.
Each year an afternoon or a part
of the time is given to one of the diff
ferent committees of the federation
in rotation and the lot falls this year
to the industrial and social conditions
committee, which will have charge Of
the entire program for the afternoon
of October IL. 1t was thought that
the time of one number on the pro-
gram which is arranged for generally
is not sufficient for complete report
of the work and to bring the inter-
ests of the committees before the fed
Grafton, so this plan was decided upon.
An interesting fact in connection
with the. federation is that at the
binennial meeting of the national fed.
Grafton held about two years ago the
local federation was allowed but five
delegates, next spring at the binennial
meeting which will be held in San
Francisco seven delegates will be
sent. This shows rapid develop
ment in the North Dakota federation
and the ladies are to be congratulated
upon tie outcome of earnest effort.
The program has been arranged
so that the officers and committees
only need be in attendance on the
morning of the first day of the meet
ing. The trains run so that the dele
gates will arrive about noon Of Octo-
Der 10, and the morning of that day
has been planned so that they will
lose no part of the conference. The
return trains have also been noted so
that connections may easily be made.
The program will be enlarged, but
in outline form is as follows:
Tuesday October 10.
900 a. m.-Board meeting.
Presentation of creden-
tials.
1O:3 a. m.-Committee conferences.

THE POOL ROOM RAID.

To the Gloucester Co. Democrat
The Swedesboro News informs us,
that on last Saturday night by order
of the Prosecutor of the Pleas, the
county officers slipped into the pool
room conducted by and 5ecur-s
ed the names and addresses Of the
patrons of the place and let them 90;
and the man who was in charge OF
the place at the time was taken be-
fore Justice Crispin, and held in $50
bail for his appearance at the mex
court. The News adds: The Prose
cutor was led to this action by rea-
son of numerous complaints laid be-
Prosecutor deserves much credit for
doing his duty. There are three poo
rooms in Swedesboro; why was this
one made the scape goat?
This prosecution was commenced
pursuant to Sec. 4, Chapter 4S5 of the
Acts of 1908, p. 375. That section
enacts, That any person owning q
room or place wherein billiards or
pool is being played his agents, etc.,
who shall KNOWINGLY allow any
minor under the age of IS years, etc. J,
to play the said game or to frequent
or lounge in said place, shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor.
The subject of this prosecution IS
youth about 16 years of ag|, AMI
nearly feet tall, and weighs $50 lbs,
and would pass for man 81 years
old anywhere. We have good reason
to know his parents have tried tt
bring him up in the way he should 90
until he got too big. to smack, and
they couldn't keep him in the back
yard; and his father made complaint
to the Prosecutor to smack the man
ager of the pool room instead Of the
boy. The act says, if the owner of q
pool room, etc, KNOWINGLY allows
a minor under Is years of age, etc. :"
How can the owner or manager of a
pool room know the age of every
youth in the town, who might l0iter
in his pool room? If this youth had
been ordered out of the pool room by.
the manager, and he had refused to go
out, and the manager had used just
sufficient force to eject him from the
room, and he had received an injury
/ in the scuff1e, his father would prosc-
cute the pool room keeper for assault
against him for damage. If the State
assumes the Office Of god-mother of
all the overgrown and unruly youths
in the State she should provide a
paddle to smack the unruly youths as
wen as the keepers OF pool rooms and
fotheg places chat are not proper fer
boys to assemble and lounge in.
Sec. 4, of the act above referred t.
should be so amended as sc require
the parents and guardians OF children
to give notice to keepers of pool
rooms and other places that are Unfit
for youths under the age of is wears
to assemble and lounge in, stating the
age of their children and wards, and
warning the keepers of pool roonls
and such other places as are not
proper for their children and wards
to Ioiter in, not to suffer or allow their
children and wards to assemble and
lounge in their places and play games.
If Mr.. Souder had been served with
such a notice, he would not have Per
mitted this youth to frequent his place

IMPROVEMENTS In PROGRESS.
Merchants Waking Up to
Possibilities

In the immediate future there will
be marked change in the appearance
of many business places on South
Broad street, and all the changes are
going to be for the better
Probably the most marked iInmed-
late change will be i'm the old Hamp-
ton property, which for several years
has been going from bad to worse, in
appearance. Mr.. Armon, the new
owner, has force of men putting in
a new front, and it soon will be ready
for the new tenant, Mr. !. Herman, with

establishment of the kind in South
Jersey, if not in the State. 20

NOR says new cut rate" drug store

The American Mechanics, owners
Broad street and Aberdeen Place, arc
changing the appearance Of the store

Turnbull's shoe business
II. A. Fish is doing lot of build
ing, that while it will not show from
the street, yet will greatly facilitate
his automobile business. 1t is 40xS0
feet. and has many possibilities for the
auto business.
B. F. Fowler is extending the
fronts of the two stores in his build
ing to the building line, which will
give his tenants better opportunity
for window display, and enlarge the
store space.
The year 1912 is surely going to
show more business activity in Wood
bury than any of recent years, and if
local merchants make a bid for local
and county trade by proper and sys-
Etematic publicity, there is no reason
why our business places should not
thrive equal to those of 4any like COM
munity in the State.

1t was with genuine sorrow and
regret the many friends of Mrs Mary
Weatherby Justice learned of her
death at her home, in Redwood, last
Sunday week, after suffering about
ten weeks with an affection of the
heart. She was tenderly nursed
through her last illness by her only
daughter, Mrs. Eva Jessup Mrs.
Justice was member of the we'll
known Weatherby family, of Mullica
Hill. She and brother were left
orphans at an early age, and Mrs.
Justice was carefully reared by an
aunt, the late Mrs. Edith Gardiner.
The staunch principles and thrifty
ways Of the Quakers were empha-
sized in her every day life to a great
degree. No one could come in con-
tact with her without being benefited
both morally and spiritually. She
had heart overfoWing with SYM
pathy and kindness to every one, but
she never allowed her feelings to
get the better of her judgment, there
fore, all who received of her sympa-
thies and substantial bounty must be
counted worthy Always a devoted
wife and mother, studying the best
interests of her husband and children,
her kingdom was her home, and to
minister to those she loved, was her
greatest aspiration. The many friends
of Mr.. Justice extend their sympa-
thies, for they fully understand that
