CONDITION OF THE:
FARM WORKlNGM EN-
Many Farmers Do Not Know
How to Use Help Of Any
Kind, Says Hired Man.

There is no doubt that the condition
of the farm workman has been great
ly improved during the last few years.
That this better condition is the re-
suit OF the scarcity of help nobody can
deny The plain truth is that there
were too many farmers who did not
know how to use help of any kind
They imagined that 500 per month
entitled them to the last ounce of
muscle in a mans body without re-
gard to hours. decent food, bed or
any of the ordinary comforts of life
These men have done more to drive
good workmen from the farms than
anything else Good workmen with
self respect refused to labor under
such conditions and the result is that
thousands have left the farm to work
In the cities where they at least be-
lieved they would be better off. Now
that farmers are learning that it pays
to give their help fair treatment and
better pay the tendency of many good
workmen is again towards the farm
and for one believe that If the con-
ditons continue to improve, as they
must under the prosperous times we
are having. that the question of farm
labor will soon right itself and we
will not only have a better class of
workmen but higher wages and richer
farmers.-A Hired Man.

ACTS AS HIS OWN
LAWYER, BUT LOSES
Tilt Between Witnesses EnIiv-
ems First Jury Trial
in Arlington.

After testifying as plaintiff today,
Bernard J. McWatters assumed the
role of a lawyer and conducted his
own case before Justice of the Peace
Adolph Amann and a jury of six men
who sat in Arlington. The case, by
the way, was the first to be tried
by jury in the history of Arlington.
After listening to the testimony the
jury deliberated less than two min
utes and returned a verdict in favor
of the defendant One of the wit
nesses threatened TO have another
arrested.
The trial was the result of a suit
brought by McWatters against Peter
Rooney, of Kearny and Davis ave-
nues, Keasny, to recover judgment
given a year ago by Justice of the
Peace Joseph Dl Sabato, of Harrison.
At that time Rooney was sued by
McWatters for money said to be due
him for work done. Despite the fact
McWatters won the previous case
he was never able to collect. Recent
ly McWatters decided to try and col
lect from Rooney.
Accordingly, suit was brought. An
execution was placed in the hands OF
Constable Charles White, of Harrison
The instrument was intended as
levy on a horse and wagon said to be
owned by Rooney. With it's service
came the statement that Rooney no
longer owned the rig, but that it was
the property of his sons, George and
Joseph Rooney. On the stand today
the Rooney boys swore they had
bought the horse and the wagon, they
said, had been given them in payment
of debt.
McWatters on the stand testified
he had been told Rooney had trans
farred the property to escape judg-
ment. Upon leaving the stand he
called James Heslin, county con-
stable, as a witness. Heslin said
Rooney had told him he had decided
to let his sons conduct the business.
He declared, according to Heslin, the
lads were robbing him when they
worked with him.
II beg your pardon" shouted
Rooney. sr., from his seat. "I'll have
you arrested If you say that again. "
Constable William Feighery sliced
Rooney and ordered him to KEEP
quiet.
Heslin further testified that Rooney
had told him he (Rooney) had got
had told him he (Rooney) had gotten
the best of all of them" White tes-
titled regarding the part he played in
the case.
The jury retired to an ante-room
and later returned verdict which
proved to be against McWatters.
Justice Amann directed McWatters
to pay the costs of court. amounting
to $3.50. The jury was composed of
Samuel Halperin, foreman; Wilbur
Bedford, John Challacont, John o.
Benson, Otto George and Elmer Hop
ping. The defendants were represent
ed by Clyde Soutar.

TWO ARE CLAIMANTS FOR
FERRET POLICE CAUGHT

Wide circulation was given the fact

Chief of Police O'Neill received
a letter from a woman at

lieved the ferret had strayed away
from her at that place. The woman
said she was Mrs. j. s. Scheff.
Her description of the ferret she
lost was almost identical with the one
captured by the police, but Chief
O'Neill does not believe it belonged to
ner. as a man near where the animal
was caught Identified 1t as being his
property. Chief O'Neill wrote her
this morning that the animal was
claimed by an East Orange resident,
and forwarded his name, so that she
can communicate with him as to
where he purchased the ferret
