DAMAGE TO PENNs NECK BRIDGE $4,000
More State Roads Wanted

The May meeting OF the County Board
of Chosen Freeholders was held in the
Court House, Salem, OH the 18th. All
members were present. Director Gray
presided.
j.. Dale Dilworth, of the Salem Glass
Works, asked some assurance from the
Board that the barge of the Davidson
Chemical Co., of Baltimore, which re-
Gently wrecked the Penns Neck bridge,
would not be libeled for the damage if it
should again come to Salem. The Com
pany is under contract to deliver oil to
the Works to keep the furnaces going,
and they refused to Iun the risk OF libel.
Solicitor Keasbey stated that it Was
not the present intention to libel the
boat, but he did not want to commit
himself OH that point until he had had
further conference with his associate
counsel, and that a meeting would be
held in Philadelphia OH the 18th, to con-
slider the matter, and that if the Davidson
Chemical Company would have their
counsel present at that meeting, perhaps
some arrangement might be made to
satisfactorily adjust the matter. The
matter was left with Mr.. Keasbey.

tile Penns Neck bridge by the barge of
the Davidson Chemical Co. of Balti-
more, with their attorney and Lewis,
Adler & Lewis, of Philadelphia, as asso-

cal Company expressed their desire to ad-
just the matter without suit, though they
do not admit their liability.

Deposit Your Money In Bank

The stealing of $3.50 kept in a home
two weeks ago should be a lesson for
all to keep their money in the bank.
Banking companies are organized ana
burglar proof buildings erected for the
safe keeping of money and other val
uables which may be stolen lost, or de-
stroyed by fire. 1t removes the temp,

DepOsiting money i'll bank is not only
a benefit to the deposition and gives him
or her a.business standing in a commun-
ity by showing the saving spirit of thrift
and economy, but it is also beneficial to
the business interests of the region sur

dead capital. Deposited in a bank the
greater part of it is loaned to others
who use it i'll their business, thus i'll

nation. Dollars in trade are what red
cOrpuscles are to the blood. They give
life and activity to the busy, business

For every dollar of actual cash money
i'll bank four dollars worth of business
is done. Ii every body kept their
money in their homes business would
be reduced three fourths and The prices

Jury Reform Still Held Up

The Legislature mel in an extra SEES

Monday. AS senator Samuel L. Num-
sen, of Sussex county, has not returned
from Europe there were not enough
democrats, only 10, to pass the Jury
Reform bill. The so.called Wilson,
Smith bill contains a state wide refer
endum. That is the people all over the
State will have to vote their approval
before it goes into operation. Presi-
dent Wilson believes a majoritp of the
people will vote for it.
While Gov. Fielder promised in con-

provides for tue appointment of a jury
commissioner to be appointed by the
Chancellor, who will act with the sher-

Gently wrecked by a Baltimore barge, re-
ported that they had made a contract
with Tuft & Lloyd, for removing the
wrecked span from the river, of $125, and
$475 for erecting a temporary span. This
action was approved by the Board. They
also reported that this work had been
done, and the temporary ferry discontin-
ued. A bonus of $65 was voted because the

Bids had been received for the remov-
al of the wreck of between 80 and 40

proved 1t.
A petition was presented to the Board
asking for the improving OF the Swedes-
boro road, from the railroad bridge to the
county line, q distance of a little over two
miles. Mr.. Borton said it had been hog
ed to have State Road Commissioner
Stevens approve this road as a part of the
State highway system. but the Commits
sioeer decided on the straight road to
Mullica Hill, though the sentiment in
that section was decidedly favorable to the
Swedesboro route. The petition was re-

other applications.

What of the College Girl?

What becomes of the ever increasing
army Of graduates which the colleges
for women are turning out annually:
Do they all marry? And If not, do
those who play the lone hand find oc-
cupation that is congenial, remunera-
tive and that puts to use the educa-
uonal outfit which has been acquired?
There seems to be a generally preva-
lent belief that the college girl who
doesn't marry teaches-inevitably.
But for a fact graduates from the
colleges for women are finding a call
in many useful and ornamental occu-
pations. At a recent symposium held
at the Woman's University club in
New York city there were talks by
college women, one of whom is now q
Jeweler, another an actress, another a
welfare director in a department store,
another who keeps a tea room and a n
other who Is a farmer on Long Island.
The woman farmer was apparently the
most enthusiastic OF, all those who
gave advice and encouragement to
prospective graduates.
She admonished her learned sisters,
Get out into the country, you wo
men who are trapped in the lower lev
els of business where you can never
reach the top" She told of her own
success and said: Il employ women
farmhands, too. as l find them more
satisfactory than men. They don't
need to be watched, as men must be-

Berlin, April 2.-Without precedent
in the history of Germany for a cen.
tuIy, the German people were asked to
make the heaviest financial sacrifices
for the fatherland since 1913, when the
government today distributed in the
Reichstag the bill to add approximately
100000 men to the army, calling for an
emergency tax of $262,OOO,OOO. This
demand is aside from an increase Of
$5O,OO0,OOO to the estimated military
and naval expenditures of about $780,
100000 for 1913, which will be asked,
making a military burden Of $650,OO0,-
900 to $700, 100000 for Germany.
Sentiment in the Reichstag is that
the bill will be passed, though it may be
trimmed" little. This, however, is
unlikely. The "bill" is to be paid by
the property owners. Property under
$4,000 is to be exempt,
in principle the Socialists are against
the measure. Bubsdespite the fact that
they muster 10 votes, they have not 81
far been able to defeat a government
bill in which the nation has taken {
deep interest.

Only a vague sense Of uneasiness,

of funds needed to carry out the plans

The label mentioned in the press that
is to 90 on each box was also at my
suggestion, but arranged by Mr. Gilt
and Mr.. Crawford.
The label is entirely proper. tt sim
ply states that these primes are dOnat
ed by the people of Salem, Oregon
Then follows formula how to stew
and serve, as they no doubt will go Il
people who may not know what prunt
is Furthermore, the prunes are thu
gifts Of the people of Salem, and they
should have the credit.
Dayton, Ohio, is my home town, and
I know the surroundings as well as
know Salem, and / know that Salem
people could do nothing better than tC
send half carload of prunes, unless il
were a car and half.
OF course, we will get advertised by
sending these prunes, so will every 9th
