With Points Well Taken.

Editor SITTER;
In your last issue you occupy
lengthy editorial space making dir
eet inquiry as TO why the last Leg
stature should be so censured in
doing only what the previous I.egis.
lature did in extending the pay OF
all the attaches, about 60 in mum
her, to that of the members them
selves. AS one who took a promin-
ent part in this matter. fighting II
to the utmost, will endeavor to ex-
plain.
Tho pay of the attaches is estab-
lished by statute and upon very
liberal basis. from $14 to s2l per
week, far more than the members
themselves would be willing to pay
for like work dene for themselves.
They we're quite all Of them sons
and protegees of the members and
Upon that account, from the very
beginning, much personal work was
put in to establish the increase.
This increase was voted during the
latter part of the session, after the
most Of the service had been rem
dered, and hence was retroactive as
regards the larger part and direct
ly against the very spirit Of our
itself, which has an
express provision against II, and the
fact that it had been voted at a
previous session made 1t all the more
obligatory for us to take bold and
decided action To break a precedent
hat was manifestly wrong and

SCHOOL BOARD WITH
HOLDS SMITHS MONEY
Voted Against Paying ArChi-
tect $1,000 on Account.

The board of education on Friday
evening voted against paying Oscar
B. Smith, jr., architect for the alter
ations to the Maple avenue school
building, 81 900 on account of his com
missions due Mr.. Smith asked that
he be paid $1,800, his commission on
the $4,070 due John H. Cooney for the
heating and ventilating plant and
withheld because of trouble with the
boiler and engine, being deducted.
The administration committee, on
the recommendation of Willard w.
Cutler, the counsel, recommended
through the chairman, John N. Conk-
ling, that 81 900 be paid on the ac-
count President Joseph Hinchman
expressed the opinion that something
shodld be paid.
w. Parsons Todd voted for payment
while G. Franklin Wilson and Robert
Hillock voted against payment. Mr..
Conkling did not vote. Mr.. Smith
latter came in and asked reasons for
the non-payment of the bill. No rea.
sons were given Mr.. Smith. Mr.
Hinchman saying it was simply the
vote of the board.
Mr.. Smith said he had received nc
request from the board to do any
thing to close the matter for two
months. His engineers reported tc
him, he said, that the engineer OF
the building, Joseph Gilbert, said he
could remedy the trouble in engine
! and boiler for less than $50.
Mr.. Cutler said that the expert en-,
gagged by the board had reported thai
one boiler did all the work, the sec
ond doing nothing above four pounds
pressure. One boiler is threequarterl
of an inch lower than the other, it is
said.

SPRAYING for codIIna Moth.

1t will soon be time to spray for
the codling moth3or apple worm. This
insect materially lessons the value of
the apple crop in many orchards,
sometimes decreasing the crop more
than rseventy-five per cent. 1t often
happens that apple trees that are
very carefully sprayed in the early
spring for San Jose scale, bear a
light crop of fruit, large percentage
of which is wormy. This condition is
due to the work of the codling moth.
To guard against such injury, spray
your apple trees thoroughly with ar
senate of lead. Two applications of
this material should be made, first
just as soon as the petals fall, and
again about the first of July.
If you buy arsenate of lead in the
paste form, three pounds to fifty gal
Ions of water should be used, but if
the powdered form is used, one and
one-half pounds to fifty gallons of
water should be sufficient. For gem
eral use the paste form of arsenate
of lead is preferred to the powdered
form. 1t Is very essential to secure
a pure brand of lead If successful re-
suits are to be obtained
If you have never sprayed for cod
ling moth, try it this year, If only on
a few trees. The proper material,
thoroughly applied at the right time,
will give you a larger crop Of clear,
sound fruit than you have ever had
in the past The State Experiment
station at New Brunswick, N. j., is
always glad to offer suggestions in
regard to spraying all kinds of fruit
trees. Write to the Extension de-
partment for more detailed informa-

INDIANS LURE roo STRONG.
Passaic Boy Leaves Home to Follow
Wild West Show.

Patrons of the wild west show that
played in Morristowne Monday after
noon we're spectators of a cross
country run as they were leaving the
show grounds at the end of the per-
formance. A boy thirteen years old
was playing the part of hare and his
pursuers were two portly men whose
forte was not running. The lad
started from Speedwell avenue. cut
across to Sussex avenue and turned
into COLUMBIA street. He eluded his
pursuers when he hurdled a fence,
dashed behind a house and disap-
peared. The lad, whose name is
Nelson Strong, ran away with the wild
west show on Thursday from Passaic.
His father and friend trailed him
here and cornered the lad Monday
afternoon on the show grounds. A
mother crying for his return and a
father anxious to swield a shingle
had no effect ON the boys heart
which was set upon riding bronchos
and shooting Indians, so father took
Nelson by the ear and started to-
wards the railroad station. But
fathers grip loosened and Nelson es-
capped.

WILD WEST SHOW PLEAsEs.
But Bad Weather Keeps Many from
the Show Grounds.

The Oklahoma Wild West ran into
bad weather on its arrival in Norris
town on Sunday and in consequence
there were not as large audiences
at the performances on Monday as
the show deserved. The heavy rain
Monday morning made it necessary
to postpone the street parade until
after lunch and then in the haste to
get out and back to the grounds in
time for the afternoon performance
much of the parade paraphernalia
was left on the lot.
The performances were good, the
show being first rate in all respects
and one of the cleanest that has
ever visited the town. There We're
no attractions that were immoral and
the show people were all courteous
and obliging. There was little diff
ficulty in the unloading and loading
of the wagons, the men handling that
branch of the work not being thor
oughly acquainted with their duties.
A canvassman was injured ON Sunday
evening when pole was blown over
and struck him on the head, inflict-
ing scalp wound. There were two
spills" during the afternoon per-
formance but no one was injured.
