FRAUDS ADD TO HIGH COST.

h masses have to do with the cost
Of living? Look at the single item of
$4,000 900. as part answer, which
passed from the hands of the nan

through biting at mail swindles!
This sum of money thus thrown away
represents a four per cent return on
$4,000, 000, 900. The $4,000, 900, 900

One day when a general snow and

We're privileged to witness a grand and
remarkable spectacle. The day was
windy and the lake rather rough. but a
number of persons concluded to go to
the long wooden end of the pier to try
1helr luck at fishing. They had not
been lon at the end of the pier before
their attention was attracted by a
great roaring, Looking across the
lake they saw a cyclone approaching.

knowing that this would sweep the
Whole line of the pier, all beat a hasty
retreat to the shore. When at a safe
distance h party turned to gaze up-
on the incoming wall of water. While
thus gazing they were startled by a
tremendous roaring to the northward,
and a moment after a cyclone from
that direction also struck the lake.
This sent before it a huge wave tina
had soon attained the height of that
coming from the southwark.
In a few minutes the two waves
came together. When they struck a
column of water and spray was sent
into h air to the height of at least
100 feet. The collision of the two
waves was followed by a report tina,
sounded like a heavy clap of thunder.
A m after this grand shock of
water five or six huge waterspouts
made their appearance, all within an
era of three or four miles. and car
red great columns of water and spray
to the height of several hundred feet.
These circled to INC fro over the lake
Tor some 10 or Is minutes and then

a time there was almost adead calm.
Naterspouts are very frequently
seen on the lake in the autumn, owing
to the peculiar situation Of this body
of water. under the crest of the main
ridge of the Sierra Nevada range.
When a fierce gale from the west
crosses the ridge it plunges down the
great canyons and thus are brought to
bear upon the lake conflicting currents
of air. When a hurricane is blowing
from the west immense volumes of air

state. North Dakota, as we know,
was at n time a crop state and that
crop was wheat. Multiplying weeds
and decrease in the yield of wheat led
TO change in farming methods. Up
TO that time the ground was summer
allowed largely. Then it was found
mat 1t was but little more labor to
grow a crop of corn on the land than
1T was to- summer fallow it. and then
they had something to show for the
summers cultivation.
When they began to grow corn in
that state. a serious difficulty pre-
sented itself. The modern corn har-
vest was, of course, in happy accord
with the b conditions of North
Dakota. They could cut the crop
rapidly and bind it and also put it
IN good shocks. Here is where the
~diiculty commenced. The fall work.

corn is left in the shock. Before the
snow falls. the wind drifts the sol:

r~espondingly injured. The fall rains
also injure it to a considerable en-
tent.

GRAVEL FOR ROAD BUILDING.

With all the discussion over material for
road building, it seems strange that more at
tention is not paid to gravel. The c~heapness
of this material is admitted. Good gravel pits
are to be found in all sections of the state.
1t can easily be carted- and, when properly
laid, makes an ideal road.
Monmouth county has many miles Of gravel
road that cannot be surpassed. Ocean county
also has many striking examples. One has
only to visit the southern section of Middle
sex county, centering at Half Acre, to realize
what a gravel road, properly laid and cared
for, means. 1t stands up well under traffic,
and is ideal for motoring. County authori-
ties would do we'll to take this matter under
advisement and see whether or not it could
not be used to greater extent.
Naturally, it needs constant care, but the
sam is true of any other road material. We
do not believe the expense Of keeping it in
repair is any greater than the macadam, or
any other hard surface material and, as the
first cost of laying it is much cheaper, the
gravel road has everything to recommend it.
A careful study along these lines, as to the
best way of laying and maintaining the gravel
might mean the saving of thousands Of dol
lars to taxpayers.

EGG PRODUCTION.

In statistics of farm produce for New Jer-
sey presented in a bulletin about to be issued
by Director Durand of the Bureau of Census,
it is shown that the total number of fowls
on New Jersey farms on April Is, 1910, was
1897, 00O. Of the 3O,144 farms reporting
fowls, 1925 did not report any eggs produced.
The production of eggs actually reported
was 13,630,000 dozen. Since that date there
have been a great many persons who have
gone into the poultry business, and with the
price Of poultry and eggs as it has been the
past two years, it is safe to say that few, if
any farmers have gone out Of the business.
This means, therefore, that today there ought
to be a great increase in the production of
eggs over that of 1910. Yet we are still pay
ing fifty cents a dozen for eggs during a
season that is most satisfactory for egg pro-
duction.
In Philadelphia, at the present time, what
is known as the Housekeepers League, an or
ganization of women formed to protect the
public from extortion of prices demanded for
food necessities, in selling eggs at twenty-four
cents a dozen for the same quality that regular
dealers AVE been selling at from six to four
teen cents in advance to that price. On an
average of $4,000 dozens have been sold a
day at this price, making a total of 6,480,000
eggs. The result has been a great reduction
in the price Of eggs in Philadelphia, which
all goes to show that there is really no excuse
for the present prices.
The secret lies in the cold storage systems.
There is~no doubt that millions of eggs are
stored away in these places SO as to keep up
the price. One of the greatest demands for
legislation at the present time is an adequate
law regulating these cold storage places which
are playing such a prominent part in the high
cost Of living.

FOR A NEW CHARTER.

The council that will go into Office in Eliza
beth on the first of the year, will start with
a determination to secure a new charter for
that city. Elizabeth is laboring under an old
document about as ancient as the one Perth
Amboy has, and it is about as Anticipated for
present needs as our own.
Elizabeth wants a modern government
capable of taking charge Of a municipality
having a population of 100000 or more. II
has been plain for some time that the pro
gress of the city has been handicapped be-
cause of the charter.
This is a reminder that Perth Amboy is
still laboring under the old charter, granted
at a time when state street was the western
boundary of the city and there was little that
resembled a town north of Fayette street. To
have a charter that was passed for a city OF
that size still in force for a city such as we
have today, is ridiculous. Perth Amboy would
do well to follow the example OF Elizabeth
and secure a new charter, SO that our progress
may go on unhindered.

THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS.

Republicans who look forward to the re-or-
ganization of their party and cherish the hope
that there is something yet in store for them,
need only read the account of the meeting of
the state executive committee, held in Newark
Wednesday afternoon. State Chairman Ed
mund w. Wakelee, who while in the senate
was the recognized representative of the tele-
phone trust and other corporations, presided.
Around him sat former Governor Murphy, the
man who was repudiated by the Republicans
of the state at the primary last spring, but who
has been placed in power again by the will of
the bosses at Chicago; former United States
Senator John Kean, who has also been repudi-
ated by the Republican voters at the primary;
United States Senator Frank 0. Briggs, an
other of the reactionaries in whom the people
have lost confidence; David Baird, famous boss
of Camden county, who has made his brag that
he, at one time, had all New Jersey south of
the Shrewsbury in his vest-pocket; Alfred
N. Oalrymple, the creature of Franklin Muir
pry, who has bosseu EsseA county until thor
oughly repudiated by the people; Winton G.
Garrison, another of the Essex standpatters;
and so it goes. The list is an interesting one
and cannot help impress the people of the
state with the present condition of the Re
publican party.
These men, behind closed doors, patted
themselves on the back; expressed complete
confidence in the future of the Republican
party and showed no remorse over the disas-
trous defeat at the polls at the recent election,
evidently seeing nothing that would indicate
that the people are through with them. They
look forward to a reunion Of the factions, as
they call it, believing that the great number of
voters who have organized the Progressive
party are still Republicans and will come back
into the party fold at the next election.
But the people themselves know that as long
as such men as these sit in the Republican
party councils and hold the position of leader
ship, there is no hope for that party. For
them to continue in their position means that
