school board in that township, under
which the teacher was dismissed as
principal and her standing as teach
er taken away from her.
Mr.. Belts said that the charges of
characterization and inefficiency and
conduct unbecoming a teacher had not

THINGS TALKED ABOUT.

4 County Engineer Cattell made a
Thorough examination of Hunter st.
bridge last Tuesday, and he considers
lit not more dangerous than during
many years past. He says the char
acter of its construction does not
compare favorably with that of to-
day, but with a new floor, and resecur-
ing the handrail on the south side, it
can be made very satisfactory. The
abutments are good and the iron
work shows the results of good care.
His recommendation to the Board of
Freeholders will not involve great ex-
pense. 90
n The committee on the Mt. Royal
fbridge has decided that the expense of
kconstruction is too great to warrant
building temporary bridge, hence
the pike will be closed off while the
new bridge is being built no
In conjunction with Engineer AL
tbertsoh, of Camden county, Mr.. Cat
gtell is preparing plans for the new
icounty line bridge at Turnerville,
which will be submitted to the next
meeting of the Board. m
Judge STAIRS decision in the case
of the Paulsboro Councilmen will no
doubt have the effect of returning
Messrs. Tonkin and Casperson to the
Board until their successors are le-
gally chosen. In the case of Mr..
Tonkin, he has moved from South
will have to be determined. The whole
affair is unfortunate, but law is law,
and the citizen is subject to it whether
violation is through ignorance or
maliciousness. The State owes it to
the people to publish the laws in a
way to avoid ignorant violation, and
the present Legislature should busy
Itself along that line.

Socialism Product of Republicanisn

Paulsboro, N. j., Jan. %, 1912.
Editor of Gloucester County Demo-
crat,'
Dear Sir: With no intention of con-
tinuing controversy, the writer of
Socialism the Product of Republican
ism," replying to 'Toiler, would say
that, notwithstanding the definitions
quoted from the New Peoples Encyclo-
pedia, of Socialism and Anarchism,
he still adheres to the opinion that
both lead to the same destinations chaos
in government. He also believes that
with the birth of every Socialist a
future Anarchist is born; hence the
expression twin brother
Do not the brothers of Socialism and
Anarchism meet together under the
same red emblem?
The Stars and Stripes of their coun-
try is the only flag under, which the
followers of the Democracy have ever
marched or ever assembled.
The concluding paragraph of his
letter, regarding Democratic rule in
the Southern States, clearly shows
that "Toilerv has imbibed sectional
hatred, and that he is neither Social
ist nor Toiler but rabid uncompro-
missing Republican.

TRANSATLANTIC ALFALFA
To Be Demonstrated at State Fair
BY Prof. Hansen.

Professor Hansen, the alfalfa
wizard of the State College of Agri-.
culture and Mechanic Arts at Brook
ings will give.the farmers of the state
a special demonstration of the new
method of planting alfalfa at the
coming South Dakota State Fair.
The transplanting OF alfalfa was at
tempted by machinery this year in
this state for the first time in the
United States, for the purpose OF find
ing out whether it Is worth while
from a practical agricultural stand
point. The whole country is await
ing the outcome Of the experiment
with a great deal of interest.
Those who have read the papers
will know that Professor Hansen
used this method at various points
in South Dakota this year and that
he employed an adoption of the to-
bacco transplanter for the purpose.
he does not say whether he would
yet advise universal adoption of this
new method of planting, but he does
state hat If it should prove practi-
cable, there are many features of the
plan to recommend it. Agricultur-
alists who wish to learn more of the
s C h e N e of transplanting alfalfa
would do we'll to take notes on the
demonstration to be made on the
state Fair grounds by professor Han
sen.

STATE FAIR IS EDUCATIONAL

The South Dakota State Fair bears
an important relation to the better
farming movement of the state.
Here will be exhibited the best of
everything in live stock, agricultur-
al products, dairy and poultry pro-
ducts and farm machinery. Prog
ress in education and all forms Of
life comes by intelligent comparisons.
The State Fair is the proper place
for the modern agriculturalist to
make these comparisons. Experts
from the State College of Agriculture
will be on hand to give special DEM
! onstrations along the line of soil
fertility and improvement, the prob
lem of rainfall, crop rotation and
other specific features connected with
good farming.
There is much to be learned from
the educational exhibits, from the
displays in the women's building,
the school of mines, the county exhi-
bits, and all other features, including
Me great aviation meet. The lead
~ stock breeders, the most success
iui farmers, the best dairymen, and
TIE foremost men of all lines of work
VII be at the Fair. No scientific
farmer, nor his wife and family, can
hi4oib " HilSs lnls cHance OF getting
pointers for improving his business.
In order that the educational
phase of the Fair may receive the
proper attention, all special attrac-
tons, including races and other
forms OF entertainment will be held
each afternoon. The forenoon of
each day will be devoted to educa-
tional matters, including stock iudg-
ing, machinery demonstrations, and
judging in the other departments of
the Fair. Do not try to ''do the
Fair" in n day. Stay over; take
our time; and squeeze out of this
opposition all there is to learn. 1t
will pay you as a strictly business
proposition.

Things Fish Can See.

1t is doubtful if fish can distinguish
forms outside the water, but they I'M
q~uestionably a see moving objects
at considerable distance. Their in
stinct teaches them to flee from
strange moving things and from shad-
ows thrown on the water by persons
moving along the waterside or by
birds flying over. The proof that they
cannot see the outlines Of forms suf-
ficiently well to distinguish between
animate and inanin,ate objects, is that
they will show no more fear of an
angler standing perfectly still in the
water, than they will Of a tree or other
harmless object. That their sight is
keen in the water is evidenced by the
fact that game fishes, that prey on
their fellows, do much of their feeding
at night, pursuing and capturing min
nows and other small fish in deep,
dark holes.

A Beautiful cantata,

Last Thursday evening a canta.
ia entitled "a Dream in Fairy
! Land" was given in the opera
house BY the little children of Scot
land under the direction Of Miss
Bernice Loveall. The hall was
crowded as is always the case when
the little scions of the community
appear in the role of public enter
tanners, and in this instance the
little ones proved equal to the task.
The stage was beautifully deco
rated to give it the appearance Of
a real fairy land. The program
opened with a chorus and drill by
forty-fve children. After this two
little orphans from the city enter
ed, looking for fairy land. Wear
ying in their search they fell asleep.
Soon twelve good fairies found
them, transformed them into fair
les and welcomed them to fairy
land. In the midst of their hap
piness twelve bad fairies came and
lured away the little orphans, but
in reality their intentions were bad.
After they had been enticed away
from their friends, the good fairies,
the children were deserted and
wandered about disconsolately un-
til they were again found by the
good fairies. Thru the efforts of
some lively little sprites the bad
fairies were brought into the ranks
of the good fairies. During the re-
joicing, the little girls awoke to
find that it was all a dream. The
program ended with a beautiful
drill and tableau.
The children have been drilling
for this cantata Tor several weeks,
and the results certainly repaid
them for their patient preparation.
The whole cantata, consisting OF
chorus, solos, duets, speaking and
drill, went off without a slip. Lu-
Gle Bruhn and Edna Sender,
who took the leading parts, made
very lovable little orphans. TIE
children were all dressed in appro-
pirate costumes and, especially in
the drills, made many charming
pictures on the stage.
Miss Bernice Loveall, who direct.
ed the cantata, herself won first
place in the state high school de.
clamatory contest this spring, and
is therefore thoroly capable Of
managing such an undertaking
She was very ably assisted by Miss
Myrtle Sweet at the piano.

Philip Engel vas called three
miles beyond baskerville last Fri
day to adjust a fire loss for the
German Farmers insurance com-
pany. Four stacks of grain we're
burned, supposed to have been set
by a hand carelessly throwing a
lighted match into the stubble near
the stacks after lighting his cigar
cite. The writer accompanied Mr..
Engel as far as Lesterville, and
the grain fields between here and
there are certainly magnificent.
One notable feature however, is
the small amount of grain that is
being stacked. Nearly every farm
or is planning or doing shock
threshing. Some fields were al
ready threshed and we were in
formed that some fields wer turn
lug out as high as Is bushels Of
wheat to the acre, and so bushels
of oats to the acre was not IN
common. The corr is looking
fine but needs about three weeks of
good hot weather.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hausauer
! who moved from here to Santa
Ana, Cal. seven years ago, are
here visiting their old friends. Mr..
! Hausauer says Santa Ana has
| been making a wonderful growth
in the last few years, and property
values have made great strides up
wards. There are now five large
beet sugar factories there, each
costing over a million dollars, the
capacities running from 700 to
1000 tons of beets daily. Thousand
of acres of land which were con-
! sidered almost~worthless when he
went there, have been placed under
irrigation and have been found to
be peculiarly adapted to the grow
ing of sugar beets. 1t is now
worth from $500 to $500 per acre
Fruit growing is also a leading in.
dustry, and there has not been 8
failure in this crop since he went
there. Great hopes are entertain
ed by the people for a still greater
boom for that country when thu
Panama canal is opened. AL
though Mr.. Hausauer thinks it il
an ideal place in which to enjo!
ones self, as the climate and sur
~roundings are ideal, yet he woult
not advise people of limited mean
, to locate there, as investments ar
, now high, and most of the unskill
, ed labor is performed by tn
, Japanese for small salaries. o.
/. their way home Mr.. and Mr.
! Hausauer will visit their daughter
f Miss Title, who has been teachin
and holding a claim in Gregor
county. AS she has made proc
g on her land she may return t
