his Republican colleagues in the board
insisted on his becoming its presiding
officer.
Freeholder Richard r. Malta, who
was also q candidate for the position
of director, will probably not allow
his name to be presented for the po-
sition, but will make Freeholder Ry-
mans selection unanimous, so far as
the majority members of the board
are concerned. The three Democratic
members will in all probability also
vote for Freeholder Ryman.
Freeholder Ryma II was elected a
member of the county board in Mo-
vember, 1911, and was reelected last
year. He resides IN the East Side
section of this city.

the vacancy in the board, lives at 81
Wilsey street, which is in the Seventh
ward. He has been an elected mem
ber of the committee in control of
the Republican organization in Essex
county for over thirty -eight years.
At the present time he is chairman
of the Seventh ward executive COM
mittee Of the Republican County

On Sunday morning Patrick went to
the cellar of the store to fix things
up and found another chicken in the

appearance as the first, Nothing

Monday passed without incident.
when it was F'rederick's turn to at

Tuesday when Patrick's turn of cellar
duty came again there was a third
chicken, neatly dressed and in the
same spot at the foot of the stairs.
This time Patrick put the three
chickens outside the store, thinking
that information concerning them
would be more likely to develop II
they were placed on exhibition. No
news resulted. but when night came
only two of the three chickens re-
manned.

GOERKE WANTS
TAXES REDUCED

Declaring that the assessment on
it's property is entirely too high, the
Goerke Company which conducts a
large department store at Cedar and
Broad streets. appeared before the
Essex County Board of Taxation to-
day, through its attorney, Sol Cohn,
to argue for reduction.
For it's property, which is numbered
701 to 705 Broad street, the assessed
valuation as fixed by the board is
$57O,3o0, and the company desires that
property 697 to 500 Broad street the
assessment is $299, 400, and the con-
Germ desires that it be made $253,667.
Jerome T. Congleton presided at the
session of the board, and City Counsel
Spaulding Frazer was present to rep
resent the city and urge that the
present assessments stand. Lathrop
Anderson and representatives of the
firm of Fairchild & Fairchild were
present as real estate experts, and
testified that the present assessments
are too high.
This view of the situation was due
to the fact that Cedar street was
closed for several months last year
while the Public Service Company
was putting in tunnel. and, conse-
quently, the valuation of the corner
property, as well as that Immediately
adjoining 1t, was adversely affected:
The entire morning was occupied by
the board in considering the Goerke
assessment, the total of which Is
1855. .299. The tax rate is $22S, which
would mean q payment OF $4,000 by

NEW CUTS IN
I|TNEY FARES
NOW IN FORCE
Jitney Service Association Men
Sell Eleven Tickets for
Fifty Cents.

The new cut in jitney fares. giving
eleven tickets for fifty cents, was put
into effect today by the jitney owners
who are members of the Jitney Ser
vice Association. The action, which
had been decided upon last Friday by
the board Of directors of the associa-
tion, was approved by the association
as whole last night. This latter
action, however, was not unanimous.
the vote being 10 in favor to Il
against. Still further in connection
with the new prices, q clearing house
is to be established by the Jitney Ser

s45 Broad street, which opened today
Here the tickets will be sold, and win
also later be redeemed. the associa-
ton retaining one cent out Of fifty
on each string for operating expenses.
The association last night also voted
to abolish all dues, but urged mem
bers now delinquent TO pay up.
The approval of the fifty-cent rate
for six was not made last night until
there was much discussion on the
subject. The meeting was held at 4S
William street, and there were thirty
five members present. The plan for
the sale and redemption of the tick
cts was explained to the members of
Lealxin. He said the tickets would
be sold to owners or drivers at fifty
cents each for a strip of eleven at
the headquarters at s45 Broad street.
1t was necessary, he said, Tor the
owner of the "jitneys' to return the
tickets to headquarters, as no money
would be refunded to drivers. Upon
the return of the tickets to headquar-
ters they are redeemed at forty-nine
cents, giving the association one cent
on every strip of tickets sold. In view
of the large amount of jitney traffic
in this city, he said, the revenue thus
derived would be ample to pay AL
expenses of the association.
The dues charged each member OF
the association in the past viii be
eliminated, but all those who are in
arrears were ordered by the associa>
tion to make an effort to settle their
obligations.
In order to provide additional funds
for the association 1t WAS decided to
hold ball in the Coliseum on Satur-
day evening, December Is, and a COM
mittee, of Ave was appointed to make
arrangements for the event. The COM
mittee is composed of the following;

avenue, Arlington, and urging that
the "1itneys'' be allowed to stop IN
front Of their places of business. was
read by Secretary Holiday, who said
the petition would be presented to the
Arlington City Council at its next
meeting.
Morris Meltz and John L. Randolph
were appointed a committee to audit
the books of the association, and Mr.

retary.

Nathan Kugel. aged twenty-five, OF
142 Livingston street, and Meyer Os-
trowslxy, twenty three years old. of
173 Howard street, were fined $40 each
for disorderly conduct by Judge Wolf
in the Fourth Precinct Police Court
today.
They were arrested about midnight
yesterday by Policemen Wriggens
and Lomax, of the Sixth precinct,
upon the complaint of Robert Nc
Avoy, ticket agent at the Meeker ave-
nue. station of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road.
The two young men told the court
they had gone to South Bethlehem,
Pa, in search of Jobs in the steel
plant but were unable to obtain en-
ployment. When their combined
capital was reduced to 50 they board
ed Lehigh Valley train bound fol
Newark and gave the conductor the
money asking to be taken as far al
the money would permit.
When the train reached Fleming
ton the conductor told them their
money was used up and they would
have to get off. They pleaded to
be allowed to ride the remainder Of
the distance, promising to pay as soor
as they reached Newark. Finally
they pledged the handbag In which
all their belongings had been placed
and stayed on the train.
In this city the conductor of the
train turned the bag over to the
ticket agent, but after the train had
pulled out the two made such loud
and persistent demand for the bag
without offering to pay the rest oi
the money due for their ride that the
agent sent for the police.

Patrick KaltenbAeh has asked Po-
lice Captain Oscar Vogel OF the
Fourth precinct, to suppress the ghost
or other mysterious influence which
is causing dressed chickens to appear
and disappear at the grocery store OF
his mother at 12s Belmont avenue.
Are you sure it is ghost?" he
was asked.
1T am not sure" he replied, but
it's magic that brings the chickens
and then takes them away, and it is
up to the police to find out who does
the magic"
According to the story told the
police, Kaltenbach, who is about forty
years old, and his brother Frederick
are clerks in the grocery store owned
by his mother. Last Saturday Fred
erick went to the cellar of the store
and found a freshly dressed chicken
wrapped up in a paper bag lying at
the foot of the cellar stairs. Neither
he nor any of his family could ac-
count for the presence of the chicken
and no news concerning it developed
during the day.

There is Just one big fundamental
fact about marketing, good friends,
that we wish to emphasize on this
page. That fact is that successful
marketing means cooperative, mar
keting. In other words if you are
going to market your products
profitably you must work with your
neighbors.
And working with your neighbors
means some trouble, of course Some
of them are Indifferent; some ignor-
ant; some just naturally hard to
get along WITH" as you say. So it's
going to be a little trouble to get
the needed cooperation. no doubt.
But remember this, that the only
thing in the world worth doing lie
something that it takes some trou-
BILE to do. That is the only thing
that develops character and ability.
Babies can do easy things, but God
made men to grapple with hard
tasks, and they don't get to be real
men until they do.
Let us appeal to you then, Brother
Subscriber, to try to interest Your
neighbors in getting together for
better marketing of their crops this
year. Cooperation is necessary for
numerous reasons:
/. In oder to secure adequate in
formation. If you have only five
to twenty bales of cotton or twenty
to fifty bushels of potatoes, or six
or eight hams, you cannot afford
the expense of keeping informed
about prices and fluctuations in half
dozen different markets, about
what dealers you should ship to, by
what routes, etc., etc. Nor would
dealers give you much attention If
you should ask. But if YOU have an
organization with five hundred bales
of cotton or thousand bushels Of
potatoes, or five hundred hams, your
representative can afford the expense
of correspondence, telegraphing,
telephoning, or even personally WIS.,
iting the markets in oderr to find
out just how the very highest top
|notch price may be obtained-in-
stead of sacrificing the product
when the first buyer makes his Of

order to secure theprofits of proper

grading. When several grades of
the same poduct ae sold together,
the price is fixed by the lower or
lowest grades. Or if only one uni
form good garde is sold, the farmer
is not likely to get the benefit I'M
less he knows grades. And so CO.
, operation is necessary CD because
! the individual farmer frequently
hasn't time to become an expert
grader, and GU if he were the most
expert grader to be. found, he could
not get recognition merely as an in
dividual small grower. An organi-
zation of small growers, on the other
hand, can CD secure expert graders
and ca by honest dealing in large
enough quantities can secure recog-
milton of its grading with materially
increased profits.
3. Lower freight rates may be
secured. And frequently the differ
ence between high and low freight
rates may mean the difference be-
tween profit and loss for the pro-
Queer.
There are other advantages, of
! couse, that might be mentioned,
such as the ability of an organiza-
ton to hold and constantly supply
a group of customers, whereas an in
dividual could not; the advantage
of having all members of the mar
keting organization grow the same
variety of the product or the same
breed of poultry or livestock and
thereby get better prices (see Mr..
Brands letter on this point; the
advantage of being able to compel
fair settlements from dishonest men
whwo might harass or rob individ-
uals with impurity; the advantage
of uniting upon one brand, advertis-
ing it and making it moneymak-
ing asset for all, etc.
Successful marketing means CO.
operative marketing. Will your
neighbor cooperate and get the
profits or refuse to cooperate and
lose them?
