ply. The farm, which is located on
the Cranbury turnpike, was purchas-
ed from Ellsworth Farmer. Before

land they called upon the members

our Nation, State and County to bring

many pitfalls to which your chill
dren are exposed.
We have had brought before us
since December last many circum-
stances and conditions that prove be-
yond doubt that large majority of

aster and SO much sorrow could be
avoided II you would exercise a SUI
pervision over your children what
ever their ages may be, by knowing
the company they keep and the
places they frequent, especially in
the evenings.
Our advice, therefore, to you is to
know and kn>w W without and chance
OF mistake, where your children are
at al times and the names and the
regulations OF their associates.

decided to enforce every provision
of an ordinance governing the SUBJ
ject. Under the action taken last
night in adopting resolutions to
have the property owners notified to
do the necessary paving, It must be
executed within the next month, or
may then be done by the city and
the cost charged against the proper

question provided that "suitable'
pavement must be laid. Aldermen
afterwards stated that the letter Of
the ordinance would be enforced.
The proposed ordinance governing
walks on New Brunswick avenue was
laid over upon suggestion of Alder
man John j. Clark, following the OBJ
lection voiced by Mr.. Hilker. 1t will
probably be referred back to some
property owners, whom Mr.. Clark
said had requested 1t.

sidewalks, to which objection has
been entered repeatedly, will have to
be made on the westerly side Of Wa

Washington, April Tt was ru-
mored today that Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo and Miss Eleanor
Wilson would be quietly married
some time during the latter part of
April. The rumor originated from
the belief that the visit here next
week of Mr.. and Mrs. Francis B.
Sayre, was to be present at the cere-
mony. Both McAdoo and Miss
Wilson have not even taken their
closest friends into their confidence
on the date Of the wedding and there
was no confirmation from the White
House.
Rumor was strengthened in the
minds of many society folk by the
elaborate trousseau being made by
Miss Wilson. 1t was said that Miss
Wilson would not have purchased
so many gowns at time wh en- fash
ions are changing rapidly IL the we'd
ding date was not fixed for the early
spring. Blue predominates among
her dresses.

To Organize Land Bank.

ALBANY, N Y., May 21.-A confer ence is being held here today, at tended by representatives of saving and loan associations from all parts of the state, to formulate plans for the organization of the Land Bank of the State of CIV York, authorized by the new banking law. The law permits it's organization by. $en or more savings and loan associations having sufficient capital, and upon it's establishment it will have power to sell bonds, constituting it's own obli-- gation. The theory on which the Land Bank is to be organized is based somewhat on the same idea as the creation of federal reserve banks, by which their reserves are to be, com bined for the benefit of all. Governor Glynn has been an ardent champion of the plan.

When he took office he was bombarded with protests against the long standing regulation which forbade women clerks either to marry outside of the service or to select their husbands from differ ent grade of the service than that in which they themselves were employ ed.

CLAIMS
 ROYAL PARENTS

LONDON, May 21.-A pauper of sixty, Augustus West by name, who became an inmate of Wordsworth Infirmary the other day, claims to be a direct descendant of George II. He declares that his grandmother was Princess Lavinia" of Cumberland, who died in 1871 after unsuccessful ly appealing to Queen Victoria for recognition of her claim to be of roy al blood.
 The Cumberland claim was first made in 1877, when a Mrs. Olive Serres alleged that she was the daughter of Henry Duke of Cumber- land, brother of George III, and grand son of George II. The question was raised in the House of Commons, but her claim was rejected and she died in 1884. Her dauughter Lavinia' s subsequent efforts to establish her royal lineage were supported by many famous men.

IRRIGATION BOARD ORDERS
THE HEAD GATES CLOSED

LEXINGTON. Neb., July 16-Cspeciall
The Dawson County Irrigation com
pany was compelled to close it's head
gates yesterday Jnder orders of the state
board of irrigation. This works as
hardship on many farmers, as water is
badly needed at this time because corn is
now at the critical stage, being in bloom
and should be watered. This will mean
great loss to farmers, as the ditch COM
pany has under contract several thous-
and acres of corn ground to water in the
next few days. The government is said
to have stored at the Pathfinder dam
enough water to provide for the territory
for two years, and the farmers and own
ers of the ditch feel that this water
should be turned loose at this time so it
could be used
