farmer OFFERS
GOOD SUGGESTIONS
Thinks the People Should Take up
the Matter of Good Roads in
Earnest.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: l believe
that we should call a meeting In
the several townships of the coun'
ties of the state, to discuss the re-
vision of the road laws by the COM
ing Legislature. The law is not the
best for all the people. therefore
believe it is up to us to take an &C.
tive hand and at once. Now is the
time, and not a day to lose. We
should have our representative at
the meeting, if possible.
How can he know what the people
want, unless the taxpayers express
themselves in body?
A township meeting should be
called first, and then a county meet
ing, where the farmers are really
represented and their opinions ex-
pressed. J. A. Carlson, Trustee.
Stratford, Dec. 10.

DO TT FOR PERTH ANNOY.

Even though you do not have
much use for the telegraph your
self, every citizen should take an in
~terest In the efforts Of the Board Of
Trade to improve the service In
Perth Amboy. Remember, we are
all working for the welfare OF our
city. One Of the hardest knocks we
receive at the present time is from
travelling men who come here and,
upon attempting to send q telegram
to their Arm, often find the tele-
graph Office closed. Under the new
arrangement, whereby the teie-
graph people propose to have us tele-
phone our kilograms to New Bruins
wick, the town becomes a standing
joke to all these men.
One Of the great features of the
Western Union at the present time,
is the so-called night letter, con-
sisting of fifty words which can be
sent during the night at the same
price that q ten word message is
sent during the day time. The
average business man does not care
to stand up along side OF a tele-
phone transmitter and dictate such
a long message over the wire to an
operator twelve or fifteen miles
away. Such a service is not the
kind of a one due q city OF $4,000
population. BY a united effort the
people OF Perth Amboy can do q
great work for their city at this
time by insisting that the telegraph
system be improved.
This Is only one step in placing
Perth Amboy In the class where 1t
belongs. All these things have been
Ignored by us SO long that the inn
preston has gotten abroad that
Perth Amboy is only q side Issue
and not worthy OF consideration. 1t
is time to end this. AS long as the
telegraph matter is before the Pub
lie Utility Commission our efforts
should be concentrated in that d.
rection. Having remedied this
fault. we can take up some other
needed improvement and thus keep
on until Perth Amboy has the facil-
tiles which her size and prosperity
demands.

gentleman from Arkansas VINO
starved to death between the en-
tree and the salad. but / don't be-
lieye 1t. because I don't believe q
gentleman ever came from Arkansas
One thing / cannot understand is
why the society women here wear
such expensive gowns to dinner par
ties. When they sit down at the
table there isn't a bit of h gown
in sight. / believe a good many OF
these circus bareback performers
were recruited from Washington So
ciety. but Of course that Is another
question and we are wandering from
our subjects which Is that OF the ex-
pense account.

ment has been as follows:
