Fed At a Profit.

Jack Patton, of the Windy West
Stock Farm, in Washita county, COM
menced feeding 100 two-year-old steers
on October l, 1913. He fed 80 days,
using 200 tons of kafir silage and $500
worth of cottonseed meal. The ensil-
age was grown on fifty acres. The
steers cost $4,000 and sold for $500.
This leaves $1,000 for the ensilage;
$36 per acre for kafir-not bad for
1913. In 1912. he fed 70 head and got
$3.50 per ton for his silage. Patton
prefers alfalfa hay to cottonseed meal;
1t makes the best gains.

taken to the supreme court from any
judgment against a county unless the
appeal also is authorized by the board
of commissioners, according to an
opinion by Justice r. II. Loofbourrow

the supreme court, without the con-
sent Of the county commissioners,
from judgments rendered against the
county in FIVE cases involving fees and
salaries paid to former county off,

was denied. Without the consent OF

nounces Resolution Not Ready.

An adjournment was taken to the
regular meeting night of the board

ing taken regarding the resembling of

Noble tract at the corner of Early
street and Atno avenue was selected
as sight for high school, At
the last meeting of the board it
developed that the town owned a
sewer easement across the Noble
property and for that reason bonds
could not be prepared and sold with
which to finance the new high school.
An adjournment was thereupon taken
to give the counsel, former Judge
Willard w. Cutler, time in which to
draw up resolution to rescind to
be voted upon. The president of the
board, Joseph Hinchman, announced
that Mr.. Cutler, who was not present
had been unable to prepare the resolu-
tion and suggested adjourning until
the regular meeting. His suggestion
was adopted.
The board before adjourning re-
ceived and placed on file another
petition secured by Nicholas Marinaro
whose pines" property was defeated
as a site for a high school The
petition was identical with the one
he presented at the last meeting and
called for a resembling of the July
Goth election. 1t wis signed by be-
tween sixty and seventy names.

CApSTICK WELL LIKED
IN UNION COUNTY
Congressional Candidate Well
Received by Republicans.

John H. Capstick and a delegation
of other Morris county republicans at
tended the annual outing Saturday of
the Union county republican commit
tee at Witzeps grove, College Point.
The Morris county party motored to
Elizabeth from which city the outing
had its start, more than 500 taking
the steamer Majestic to the grove.
1t was a pretty sail through the Kill
Won Kill, across the bay and up the
East river and many interesting
sights, including warships and foreign
steamers, were noticed
But the most interesting feature of
the affair from the standpoint of the
Morris county men was the reception
given Mr.. Capstick. The congress
ional candidate was given the glad
hand on all sides and was hailed
as the winner of the repub-
lican congressional nomination. His
opponents, Mr.. Fowler and Mr.. Stuch-
ell, were also on the trip but did not
receive near as much attention as
Mr. Capstick.
There was in evidence a feeling of
antagonism against Mr.. Fowler mani
fest on the trip, some of the Union
county men voicing their dislike to
the Elizabeth man on account of his
activities against the republican party

Morristown defeated Madison Sun
day afternoon on Collinsville field
three to nothing. Ben Ross was the
man who dumped the whitewash on
row squeak. He was invincible
straight through the game until the
last inning. While at bat in the
eighth inning Ross was hit on the
right arm by the ball. The blow
spoiled his cunning and the last in
ming he ''lobbed" them up. The first
man singled and the second man
forced the first runner. Waters then
drove long fly to center field that
looked like sure three-bagger and
the base runner legged it for home.
Armstrong tore after the ball and
made one-handed catch on a dead
run, throwing the ball to first base

Morristown started off in the first
with bunts, three in a row and ARM

PURE FOOD INSPECTION
SERVICE KEPT AT WORK
Inspector TremaIIo, One Of TWO In
spectors for This Work,
Has Large Territory.

Inspector Louis Tremallo, of the
states pure food inspection service,
is a busy man these days. There is
only one other inspector and in con-
sequence Inspector Tremallo has a
big territory to cover his inspection
district running as far south as Sea
Girt and including Newark and
Hoboken. He rounded up last week
three milk dealers of German Valley,
who, it is alleged, had been anxious
to make their milk supply go further
by the addition of water. Their cases
come up in the Morristown district
court.
Inspector Tremallo reports that
there are some druggists these days
who are careless of the law. He
has found some who are selling head
ache tablets, instead of in the original
container lawfully marked with the
ingredients, in plain, unmarked boxes,
a violation of the law. Then there
are druggists, he says, who are dis
obeying the law regarding the sale
of opium. Instead of selling the
opiate only on physicians pre-
half-ounce lots. The offenders in
Morris county among the foreign
born population.
Inspector Tremallo knows of cases,
he says, where a foreign born resi-
dent, suffering from toothache or
some other ache or pain, instead of
going to a physician and having their
ills attended to or at least getting
a prescription for an opiate, will go
direct to the druggist with the re-
quest for half-ounce of opium. This
is violation of the law, the inspec-
tor says, that he has to report when
he finds it.
