ATTRACT MANY PERSONS
Large Number of Patrons OF
Shops Live Miles Away.

"'The patrons of our stores are scattered
over the surrounding country for about
twenty-five miles" said Frederick q.
Thomas, president Of the Merchants As
ISOLATION to a Tribune reporter last week.
Large numbers of our shippers live as
far as Glen Gardner, which is thirty miles
west. Between Somervillc and Easton
there is no,large hustling town.
"Somerville Is already an important
trading place and is destined to occupy a
much higher position OF this character,
THE present population of Sonerville
and Raritan. which is just outside OF the
county seat. together with contiguous
farming sections, is about HOO and is
growing very rapidly. II we continue TO
grow much faster and bigger, 1t is likely
that our trolley facilities will have TO be
increased. We are now Joined to Bound
Brook and Plaindeld and the other beau
tiful New Jersey towns east of them by
the trolley lines Of the Public Service
CORPORATION. Trolleys run at frequent In
tervals. and the service is satisfactory.
"There is talk Of laying trolley route
between Somerville and BernardsvilIe.
distance OF sixteen miles Bernardsville
IS one Of the highest class residential
suburban communities of New Jersey.
Many persons prominent I'm society or,
business live there on big estates.
AT the present time an autoous runs
from the centre Of Somerville to GLAD
stone, Peapack and Bernardsvilie. Inc
round trip from here TO BernardsVi'ie Is
about 81.
"somerville is an ideal suburban place
We have everything here that city man
can hope to find in a town In the metro
politan region. We have an efficient po-
lice force, capable fire department OF
volunteers. a progressive borough govern
ment, broad roads. which are well Kept
and which are being made more inviting;
artistic home thoroughfares, public
schools OF high standing, prosperous
churches and plenty of room in which to
grow.
The healthfulness Of the place Is well
known, and the city worker can find nice
cottages here TO rent at from SIS TO S5

SIS to s25 a month. The monthly commu-

A system of dcts and dashes is used and

place. The code is a secret, and l be-
lieve that no white man has ever solved

Bishop Lambuth completed his caravan
and at length set out. For months he
wandered, at one time being lost for two
days Frequently, he said. he came across
traces of the explorations of David Liy-
ingston and the station at wnic< he final
ly decided to locate is due weN of the
Lualaba river explored by Livingston. The
Methodist station is about four degrees
south of the equator and is 1900 feet above
sea level, according to the barometer
which Bishop Lambuth carried.
1t was when the party arrived at the
principle village of this tribe that
Mudlmbe was so useful. At first the chief
of the SBatetela tribe, Wembo Mama,
was not at all friendly. Bishop Lam
buth was the first to arrive at the town
and the chief strobe out to meet him. A
rapid series of questions was fired at the
missionary and grudging welcome was
given him when he made known the fact
that he was one of s'Bantu's Army" that
is a missionary. This phrase, said Bishop
| Lambuth, is a password throughout
Africa.
The party was referred to a half-fin-
ished house at the end of the town and
the chief was turning away when his
eye fell on Mudnbe, who had in the
meanwhile come up. With cry of JOY
he fell on his neck and the two embraced,
both weeping freely. says Bishop Lam
buth.
When at length the scene was explained
1t was found that Mudmbe was the son
of a chief who had been q neighbor to
the father of Wembo Mama and the
two as boys had played together Each
had thought the other dead for 20 years
an1 the reunion was most affecting said
Bishop Lambuth.
After this nothing was too good for the
missionaries and the city was thrown
open to them. After spending some time
at the home of the chief they left for
the coast making the most solemn prom
ises to return.
The Batetela tribe, says Bishop LAM
buth, are eannibals and among the hardi-
est and most vigorous tribes in Africa.
Their other food, besides human flesh. Is
Indian corn and maize. The tribe num-
bers about a half-million people.
In the caravan which Travelled over
1000 miles in the widest of the wilds o
Africa there was but one gun" said
Bishop Lambuth in conclusion. He car
ried an Armstrong double-barreled rifle

Bishop Lambuth and Gilbert re-
manned 10 days at Stanley Pool and
then took a small river boat. "And,"
said the bishop, that is where our
trouble began" They went up the
Congo river to the junction OF the
Kasai river and turned into this stream

up or down. 1T didn't make much diff

and went up this until we reached the

Bishop Lambuth paid a glowing tri-
butte to the Presbyterians and said that
he was under deep obligation to them.

The total number of bales of
cotton ginned in Marion county
from the crop of 1912 is 6,7S9 ac-
cOrding to report which has
just been issued by the Federal

tai excludes linters and the de-

and 2,949, 00e bales respectively.
No values have been announced
in the Texas cotton crop, but the

The reason livestock husband
ry has not been more generally

we have not formed the habit Of

mill without cotton is no more
useless than an animal without

make money without feed. Feed
is the raw material Of the dairy

they have the raw material they
