STATE FREE OF
CATTLE DISEASE

New Jersey State officials are TAX
ing precautions to prevent the fur
ther spread of the live stock foot and
mouth disease prevalent at this time.
While the government officials have
caused the extension of the Federal
| quarantine to several additional
States, including Iowa and Massachr-
setts, the New Jersey officials are
keeping watch on all cattle entering
the State for the purpose of ascer-
| tanning whether they are infected. No
cattle affected have been found here
New cases of the disease were found
yesterday at Lancaster, Pa, and every
precauiion is being taken by the vari-
Gus States to prevent the spread of
the disease, which, it is said, will cost
millions of dollars. The cause Of the
plaue is said to be unknown.
The Chicago Stock Yards are closed
and will remain in that state until
November 16. By the middle of next
week, it is declared, every animal In
the yards will have been killed and
the yards and troughs thoroughly
cleaned.
DR.. A. Clark Hunt, who has super
vision of diseases in cattle for the
State Board of Health, speaking of the
disease, said:
"The inspectors of the department
have been notified to keep watch on
all cattle for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether they are infected with
the disease.
I'VE are protected by the govern
ment quarantine, but nevertheless we
are keeping track of all shipments of
cattle made prior to and since the
Federal authorities have put the ban
on Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Penn
sylvania and Ohio and other States.
The New Jersey department, while it
has found no cattle affected with the
disease, is keeping in close touch and
cooperating with the Washington au-
thorities." tEEwN

BIG CROP OF
CRANBERRIES
Port Norris Concern Has
Yield.
5000 BUSHELS
Joseph S. Turner Is Manager of
Concern That Makes Cranberry
Bogs Very Productive.

The Port Norris concern of which
Freeholder Joseph S. Turner is man
ager and Superintendent, is making a
great success with its cranberry bogs
in Commercial township.
Mr.. Turner has been engaged sever
al years in developing these bogs and
they are now becoming very produc-
tive despite the fact that the bogs are
still young and not nearly so prolific
as they will be later on.
The concern now has under cultiva-
tion something more than 1000 acres
and this fall the crop will exceed 5000
bushels. Note this is bushels and not
quarts. This remarkable yield from
bogs one to seven years old is little
less than remarkable.
Already Mr.. Turner has shipped
| from Port Norris eight carloads of
cranberries, the average shipment be-
ing at $3.50 per barrel Last year ber-
ries were more scarce and prices were
higher being from $3.50 to $500. There
are 220 barrels Of cranberries in the
average car. Last week one carload
of berries was shipped from Port Nor
ris direct to Minneapolis. Minn., and
another car went on through to Cedar
Rapids, Iowa.
| A good part of the crop will be held
in storage for the market later in the
winter, when prices are likely to be
better than now

Some of Last Weeks
Teachers Institute.
AN EXPLANATION
Age and Schooling Certificates
Are Explained-County School
Exhibit on Saturday.

The Cumberland County Teachers
Institute was held at Millville last
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. An
excellent program was rendered. A
number of teachers who have attend
ed good many institutes pronounced
this the best meeting they have ever
attended. 1t is unfortunate that sev-
eral teachers had to be absent. Miss
| Bertha Bortle of Lands Township,
Miss Mabel Sheets, Commercial Town
ship, and Miss Helen Huffman, Green
wich Township, furnished physicians
certificates to show sickness as the
cause of their absence. Mr. w. w.
Maybe, Greenwich Township, was abb
sent on account of sickness in the
family A few teachers were excused
because it was considered by those in
authority that they would be benefit
ted by vacation on account of an ex-
rene nervous condition.
Mr.. Clement Van Lott, attendance
officer for Greenwich, has made very
satisfactory report, showing that the
attendance for the first two months OF
school was increased from 62 per cent
for last year to 1874 per cent. for the
present year. The percentage is based
on the entire number of pupils in the
district This shows that a number
: Of pupils started in school earlier this
year. than they did last year.
An explanation regarding Age ane
Schooling certificates might be in ord
: er. These certificates should be ISSUED
} by the principal teacher of the dis
trict. In case there is no principal tn,
) lboard of education should appoint some
one to issue these certificates. Be
fore the certificates can be issued b.
the person designated for this purpos,
several steps are necessary. The frs
is to have the child secure an employ
er's certificate, the second to furnish
. to the principal certificate of physi
cal qualifications signed by the medi
cal inspector, the third certificate o
education qualifications furnished b.
the principal, fourth, to make cop.
| of baptismall or birth certificate as
proof of age of the pupil, fifth. to is
} sue the age and schooling certificate
| in triplicate, which certificates mus
| ! be signed by the pupils and by The
principal. All these blanks, properly
, filled out, must then be sent to the
!, Department of Labor at Trenton fol
approval. If approved the pupil may
be properly excused Attendance Off
GERS have no right to excuse pupils
under sixteen years of age without
this age and schooling certificate.
The county school contest exhibit
will be held in the Library Annex Fri
day and Saturday of this week. A
program will be rendered on Saturday
afternoon.

Gazette pr,n's an article which, :; states,
was written while the bo!s OF Cologne
Cathedral, which were cast in 1873 from
the metal OF French guns were ringing
TO celebrate the capture OF Antwerp.
The article says;
THE Germans from their heart and
soul desire 20 destroy the power and
prestige OF the English people. With
the Belgian people we desire TO be
friends. They have been reduced, but
regarding the English we have no re-
grets. for we shall have no peace In the
world until the might OF England has
been destroyed.
I'VE hope the Belgians have not suf-
fered severely and now that their last
bulwark has been leveled we trust that
Germany will push on toward the Strait
OF Dover, where we shall be nearer tho
enemy we desire to fight"
Tho Kreu< Zcituu0 says: What Ant
werp meant for England she clearly
showed in the last hours before the
fall. Not only do the sending OF a nu-
merous, strongly armed relief force to
the fortress and an attempt, which was
absolutely criminal. to postpone the
surrender prove the burning interest OF
English craftsmanship in the possession
of Antwerp but also the completely I'M
necessary and malicious act Of revenge
accomplished ON German ships which
had already been seized by Belgium
shows how deeply England feels herself
stricken 20 tho heart by the fate of
Antwerp"
The Tdgcbldtt says: when Belgium
thought to avoid useless destruction and
bloodshed by surrender the British I'M
posed a veto and all had to obey, even
the King. That Is why the industrious
