WEEKLY LETTER OF COM
MISSIONER JOHN III. PAGE

There are various crops that could
be given consideration now. Cow
peas, buckwheat, preparation for win
ter turf oats, wheat, rye, alfalfa,
vetch, rape, turnips, crimson clover
and several other valuable crops.
want to urge at this time proper
preparation for all of these, and es-
pecially, alfalfa and crimson clover.
= Crimson clover has not been grown
to any great extent on account of
the trouble in securing a stand. The
same is true of alfalfa. The land
should be well prepared and lined
if possible. The clover requires a
sweet soil. Select reasonably fer
tile piece of land, preferably land that
has had cow peas on it. 1t is not
necessary to inoculate for crimson
clover, however, many have found it
profitable. The seeding may be done
at any time from now on. About Is
pounds of seed to the acre are re-
CURED. Crimson clover is worth a
trial, and if you get stand you will
be more than pleased with the re-
suits.
There are many combinations that
can be made with crimson clover.
You can seed one pound of turnip
seed and Is pounds of clover seed,
and get some mighty good turnips
and benefit the crimson clover. A
light seeding of buckwheat or COW
peas with the crimson clover will act
as a catch crop, furnish hay if you
need it and protect the clover. Win
ter oats, wheat, rye and barley may
also be sowed with the clover and
will add to the value of the crop next
spring. About 80 pounds of these
seed should be broadcasted with the
10 pounds of crimson clover.
Hundreds of our farmers are MAX
ing preparation for trial of alfal-
| ia this fall. Thorough preparation,
land free of weeds and grass, well
drained soil that has been lined, and
inoculated seed is the only way to
give alfalfa a fair trial. Hundreds
have failed in the past because they
! left out one or all of these essential
for success with alfalfa. 1t is great
crop and should be tried out fairly
| The proper time to seed is after the
| first good season after about the lst
to 10 tn of September. If you have
to harrow the alfalfa patch over and
over again, be sure that the land is
in good condition. Write for our
bulletins on Alfalfa, Crimson Clover,
Rape and Soy Beans.

of outbreaks of Anthrax. One hun

the Importance of burning the bodies
of all dead animals. You will aid in
preventing the disease for the next
five years. Do not allow grazing

He Knew That Money Talks.

He couldn't talk English, though per-
haps he understood a little, but he
knew a thing or two. He was riding
on a huckster's wagon past a public
school, His partner had gone into a
house to sell some truck, and he was
learning the business. His clothes
were ragged and shabby, much like
those of the stage tramp. The chill
dren started to jeer at him, making
remarks about his clothes. He seemed
to understand that they were making
fun of his clothes, SO he reached in
his pocket and pulled out the bromide
roll of bills that would choke cow"
These bills he waved at the children,
for apparently he believed that money
would insure respect, even If be did
have ola clothes.

GIRL WINS L AURELS
IN BURLESQUE AT THE ODEON

Miss Margie Demerest, who is win
ming laurels as ingenue In the, big
City Burlesquers" company, with
Fields and Fields at the Odeon, is
a Newark girl. True, she was born
in Philadelphia, but she was brought
here by her parents when she was
still a baby and her earliest, and, as
she says, happiest, recollections clus-
ter around the events of her child
hood in this city.
Sam Ross, the manager of the
Odeon, says that Miss Demerest is
acknowledged to be "the most beau
tiful ingenue in birlesque' The au-
diences that have been applauding
her twice day at his theatre seem
to coincide with him.
One of the remarkable things about
Miss Demerest, in addition to her
beauty, Is the fact that she enunciates
with a distinctness rarely heard even
on the legitimate stage. Moreover,
she sings prettily, her voice being a
contralto high enough almost to be
mistaken for soprano.
While In the chrysalis stage of her
histrionic career Miss Demerest
played a minor part in 1.-THE Fas-
chatting Widow" with Julian Ell
tinge. In THE Woman Haters,"
which is condensed version of
Girls" and is one of the numbers
in the Odeon extravaganza, she plays
the part made famous by Irene Bent
ley.
She has signed with Mr.. Ross to
go on the road next season as lead
ing woman in Wine, Woman ana
Song"
Il am looking forward with a
great deal of happiness to the oppor-
tunities my work in that capacity
will afford me-" she said last night
while waiting for her cue at the
Odeon. 'The part of the leading
woman in Wine, Woman and Song
calls for representations, and that Is
the one thing in which / natter my
self l excel.
Critics in various parts of the
country have pronounced my imper-
sonations of Eva Tanguay, Nora
Bayes, Irene Franklin and others as
almost as good as the originals them
selves" !. r. b.

NEWARK CITY
BATHS WILL Be
OPEN IN WINTER
Extra Appropriation for Pur-

ground Commission.

The finance committee of the COM
mon Council last night voted to keep
the municipal lighthouses open dur
ing the winter. This is made possi-
bic by an added appropriation which
will be given the Playground COM
mission for this purpose.
Alderman Schuck, of the Four
teenth ward appeared before the
committee and told the members
that his constituents would very
much appreciate it if the Morris ave.
nue. bath could be kept open during
the winter.
He related his visit to the Play
ground Commission, where he was
informed that the commissioners had
already considered the possibility of
keeping all the lighthouses open, but
that their finances did not permit 1t.
Alderman Schuck then promised the
commissioners that he would do his
share in trying to induce the finance
committee to give the necessary sum,
which was estimated by the commits
sion at $1,000
The alderman was informed by
Chairman Reilly of the finance COM
mittee that the financial officers had
already looked the situation over and
had found that the city's finances
would permit to give the necessary
aid to the Playground Commission.
A delegation from the Vailsburg

upon the committee with a petition
for fire engine house. The matter
will be taken under consideration.

CLAIMS VERONA
MEN TRESPASSERS
Their Election from Certain
Property and Damages Sought
by the Borough.

Seven residents of the Borough Of
property, according to the allegations
of complaint filed in a Supreme
Court suit by the borough officials
BY the action the authorities seek to
eject the alleged trespassers and to
recover 1900, the amount of damage
said to have been done to the land
by filling it in with rocks and soil
Copies of the complaint were served
by Deputy Sheriff Daniel Demarest on
the defendants, who are: Aaron De-
camp, Frank Wesley, Harmon Mar
COLIN and Frederick Branch, trading
under the firm name of Margolin &
Brauch, and Warren Stickles, Lester
Tymson and Saverio Leone. They are
all occupants of land on Bloomfield
avenue, adjoining the Verona Public
School on the west
According to the complaint, pre-
pared by Colby & Whiting, attorneys
for the borough, the land in question
was for forty years after 1852 prop
erty of the Borough of Verona. and
was used by the inhabitants of the
borough as public thoroughfare
The strip runs from the northeasterly
line of the Verona schoolhouse lot wes-
terly to the lands of A. G. DeCamp
on the west side of Gould avenue.
At the widest part, at the school,
house lot, the strip Is 2164 feet wide
and 1t tapers to point after running
parallel with Bloomfield avenue for
about 300 feet. The parcel, it Is
claimed, is in reality a part of Bloom
field avenue, but it is outside the line
of the avenue, as laid out by the
county engineers.
The complaint alleges that Aaron
DeCamp wilfully entered on the land
on February 2. 1912, disposseesing the
borough and leased and rented GER
tain parts of it to the other defend
ants. Possession is demanded on
that count. On a second count,
charging that DeCamp filled in the
property with soil and rocks and built
frame buildings on it, thereby OBJ
structing and preventing the use Of 1t
as a public road and altering the
grade of the land, the PLAINTIFF de-
mands 1880 damages.

Curtain Calls

Josephine Victor, who plays the
chief feminine role In THE yellow
Ticket" was born in Hungary. She
calls herself an American, however,
because she was brought to this
country when little child, and was
educated in New York.
Miss Victor has filled many i'm
portant engagements since her
theatrical debut. Her recent tour
from coast to coast as the Hen
Pheasant" in the support of Maude
Adams's "Chanticleer, is well re-
membered Her poetic portrayal in
that production was a thing of rare
beauty.
In 1.-THE Yellow Ticket Miss Vic
tor has role which demands every
bit of her resources as tempera-
mental artist and she loses no op-
portunity to present all the facets
of this complex character, as intend
ed by the author.
The masculine portion of the cast
includes in its principal roles sew
eral sterling actors noted for their
ability to put punch in what
ever character they assume. w. l.
Abbingdon's Baron Audrey is said
to be a wonderful study in the

| typical of Russian official with I'M

baron's cunning is presented in the
person of Paul McAllister, who as q
