standar DIS prevailing throughout the
country are to be followed, unless
there is a material reduction in the
general cost of living. 1t is not sur
prising to find that in Massachusetts
and in New York the average annual
expenditure for a child Of school age
exceeds that of New Jersey, but it is
somewhat surprising to find that such
states as Washington, California, Col
oradu and Nevada also spend more per
child. If the public continues its de
mand that the schools be made more
efficient, they should be open substan-
TALLY during the entire year, all chill
dren of school age should be educated
either during the day OF at night, better
teachers should be obtained and they
can be obtained only by paying better
salaries; salaries more OIL a par with
what people Of the same ability can
earn in the business world.

This High Cost of Living Reduced so
Per Cent.

People in town and cities could save
about one-half their living expenses if
they would grow their own fruit for
Home use. Most people have a little
garden back OF their home, where a few
Fruit trees could be planted, grapes could
be planted along the fence where thea
would take up very little room, a patch
of Raspberries and Strawberries and a
few Rhubarb plants for pies. What q
great saving this would mean to you and
how nice and fresh and juicy everything
tastes when fresh picked, from your gar
den. What a pleasure it is to go out into
your own garden and pick a basket Of
Strawberries or pick off some nice ripe,
juicy Peaches.
You would be surprised to know the
little amount of money it takes to get
plants enough for your garden-why a
few dollars will do the whole business if
you buy your plants direct from some
good grower instead OF buying from agents
who charge three and four times what
the stock is worth.
Reilly Bros, II Of the largest tree
growing firms in America, are putting out
a large 80 page book describing all kinds
Of fruit. 1t tells you how TO plant, where

Legislative DVEn&c
Last Monday night Senator McGln-
mis-, OF Passaic had a resolution passed
appointing three senators and three as
semblymen to investigate charges of
~exorbitant rates of telephone companies
in the State of New Jersey.
The resolution permits the probe to
be carried on in various parts of the
State, with power to subpoena witnesses
and compel their attendance, and to
probe into every phase Of the telephone
business, as it pertains to rates.
Judge Swayze decided the jury law
passed last year and accepted by the
voters at a referendum last November
was unconstitutional. Chancellor Ed
win Walker, decided it was constitu-
tional. TO make it a constitutional
proof law the Legislature has passed
another law verifying its legality.
The bill was drafted by Attorney
General Westcott after a conference
with Governor Fielder and was intro
duced and passed in the Senate Mon
day evening under suspension Of rules.
It was rushed to the Assembly Tues
day morning, where it was likewise
passed under suspension Of rules. The
Governor Immediately approved it.
making it Chapter l., of the Laws of
1914. 1t validates all grand and petit
iuries, and their official acts both past
and future, until the new jury can be
drawn under the Chancell0r-Sheriff
Act.
BY the vote of 40 to 4 the Assembly
on Tuesday afternoon passed the reso.
luton for al amendment to the Com
'stitution giving women the ballot. AS
soon as it had passed, Speaker Beck
man had it sent to the Senate, where it
will doubtless pass next week. The
four Assemblymen who voted against
it we're Griffin and Leonard, of Union
and Nutting and Quigley, of Essex, all
Democrats. Mr.. Nutting fought it
bitterly, and mace an attack upon for
mer Senator Colby, the Progre ssive
leader, charging THAT his compaigns
were conducted by his wife, who is a
leading ~suffragist. Nutting's sensa-
tional speech led to his being ruled off
the floor by Speaker Beekman.
A large delegation of ~suffragists wit
messed the victory from the gallery and
gave loud applause as the vote was an
nounced. The resolutions must be
passed again in 1915 and then be adopt
ed at the polls az a special election in
November. 1915.
The Legislators are doing as little as
possible at this session, believing there
are now enough laws.
