KILLED AS BICYCLE
CRASHES INTO AUTO
Emil Anderson, of SayreviIIe,
Meets Death in Accident on
Old Bridge Road.

Swerving his bicycle directly in
front of one of the Castle ice cream
trucks last night on the South
Amboy-Old Bridge road, Emil
Anderson, of Sayreville, an employe
of the Susquehanna Coal Company,
was instantly killed. The man was
later found by Coroner Eugene j..
Mullen, of this city, to have sustain
ed a fractured skull and broken
neck. In addition to this his right
leg bore compound fractures, and
the muscles and igaments of the
limb were torn loose as the big
truck, weighing over five tons, pass
ed over it.
Thomas Olsen, the driver of the
truck, and Philip Owens, a helper,
were released by Coroner Mullen
pending an investigation by the
prosecutors Office After the acci-
dent the chauffeur gave his version
of the accident to the coroner, and
his statements were verified by Mrs.
Malzak and her two sons, Adam and
Philip, who were working in the
field into which the big truck ran in
trying to avoid the bicyclist. Olsen
said that Anderson, with COM
panion. were riding directly in front
of the truck and did not heed the
horn, which was blown freely. The
truck was crowded to the left, and
seeing no opportunity to pass the
man in that direction, the driver of
the car shifted to the right. At the
same time Anderson's bicycle went
toward the right and the collision
occurred.
The ice cream truck sheered off
the road and ran into a field, now
ing down four trees of four-inch di-
ameter in its plunge. One wheel
passed over Anderson's right leg.
Accident at "Tank HILL"
The accident happened on the
Tank Hill' near Ernston Just as
Anderson WAS returning from the
SusQuehanna Coal Storage Com
pany's plant, where he has been en-
ployed for several years as an oiler.

JOHN PACE ON
STALK BURNING
Shows What The Farmer
Loses Who Burns Stalks
In The Field.

Many Of us farmers need to study
the methods Of business men. How
wasteful our methods would appear
in comparison Take for example
one Of the great packing houses,
Scarcely an ounce of waste is to be
seen In that whole vast plant. The
offal goes to the soap factory, The
blood and bones 60 the fertilizer
works, The hair goes to the up
holsterer and the felt manufacturer,
The horns and hoofs 90 to the comb
and button factories, Everything
Is saved.
Some of us will need this lesson
within the next few weeks. We
will need 1t at stalk burning time,
To many of us the stalks are mere
incumbrance. The first thing we
think of Is the use of the torch,
But Is this economy Let us see,
An acre Of corn, yielding rs bushels
of grain and 1900 pounds of stalks,
contains about 80 pounds of nitro.
Gen, IA pounds of phosphoric acid,
and 27 pounds of potash, worth
about $985. The grain contains
S5.35 Of this amount, and the stalks,
the portion we so love to burn
contain $3.50 of it-nearly half,
Think of robbing $1,000 land OF
$3.50 worth of Its plant food every
year
But let US proceed, An acre Of
cotton, producing $50 pounds Of
lint and seed and 1850 pounds of
stems, burrs and leaves, contains
about dl pounds of nitrogen, n
pounds of phosphorlo acid, and 32
pounds Of potash, worth about $40.
so. The lint and seed contain $l,.

burrs and leaves,-the portion we
delight to burn--contain $50 of it
"a little more than half. In other
words, if we burn the corn stalks
we exhaust the soils fertility nearly
twice as fast as we would if we left
them to rot in the field; and if we
burn the cotton stalks we exhaust
1t a little more than twice as fast.
1t might be contended, of course,
that in burning the stalks, the ashes
left would contain the potash, but,
as a matter of fact, practically all
the ashes are blown off the field, in
most instances, by the high winds
of the spring,
But there Is most of the story yet.
We have said nothing about the
humus, The humus that the stalks
will make is almost as important as
the plant foods that they contain,
The soils capacity to absorb and
hold moisture Is determined largely
by the amount of humus 1t contains
Bacterial action in the soil and the
foundation of various highly i'm.
portant chemical compounds also
depend largely upon the presence of
humus, Humus Is an indispensable
constituent Of crop producing soils.
If we destroy II we shall certainly
have to restore II In some other and
more expensive way.
We must quit this ruinous prac-
tice of burning stalks, If there Is O
stalk cutter on the place, put 1t to
work If there Is none 90 and Oct
one without delay. 1t will pay for
itself two or three times over in a
single season, Let economy be our
watchword this year.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

few of the best bankers in the state
favor the passage of a law guaran-
teeing deposits, but by far the great
er number of bankers are up in
arms against a law of that kind.
Those who do not favor the quar-
anty law, it has always seemed to
us, are unwilling to give the depos-
itor the same sort Of guarantee that
they very properly require from the
borrower. Sauce for the goose
would be sauce for the gander in
this case, and while the law may be
delayed yet longer in this state, the
guaranty act will come to stay.

There are some folks who love
this paper and the editor so very
dearly that they will not subscribe
for the paper, but they never fail to
borrow it every week from their
neighbors, sometimes before the
ink is scarcely dry. One of the
lOftiest ambitions that animates
our bosom is that we may continue
to make the paper interesting to
these good people.
A subscriber walked into this Of
flee one day lately and handed the
editor a five dollar bill on subscrip-
ton. We trust no other friend of
this paper will ever do US a mean
trick like that. The process of re-
suscitation from such a shock is too
prolonged and too severe, and doc
tors around this town do not work
for nothing.

The way of the transgressor is

THE PUBLICITY ACT

Senator EdnlondSOn Dill 10 repeal
Act No. 3, the Publicity Bill, met
defeat in the senate, only eleven of
the thirty-fve senators voting for
tbe measure. 1t is understood, how
ever. that a number of senate men,
hers voted against the repeal OF the
act for the reason that they do not
believe the general assembly has
the right to nullify an act passed by
the people under the initiative and
referendum. And that view of the
matter must be correct, else the in
itiative and referendum is not worth
the paper it is written on in this
state.
Senator Edmondson, after his bill
to repeal Act No. 3 had been de-
feated, introduced another measure
providing that publishers printing
statements required to be printed
by Act No. 3 shall place above each
article printed, in type twice as
large as the body of the matter
printed, the amount received for
printing the statement"
1t is believed this bill will meet
with more favor in the general as
sembly Senator Moore of Helena,
who opposed Mr.. EdmondSon's first
bill, purely on the ground that the
legislature has no authority to in
terfere with an act passed by the
people, announced that he would
heartily support this last measure
Senator Moore believes that when
the people get a good sight of the
character of matter Act No. 8 re-
quires to be published and find out
what such publications are costing
them they will speedily repeal the
law.
The Records position on Act No.
3 is well known to our readers
Since seeing the act in operation in
a number oi Colnlies this paper is
more firmly convinced than ever
that it is a farce. IT will never
benefit any part of the people ex-
cept those who publish newspapers
and can secure the printing afford
ed by the act.
Act No. 3 has done more harm
to the newspaper fraternity in Ar
kansas than anything that has hap
pened to it in quarter of CEN
tury The intense activities of al.
most every newspaper man in the
state for the passage Of the act, and
the deliberate deceptions practiced
in order to befoozle the people and
secure their support for the meas
ure have done more to degrade and
cheaper and destroy public con.
lldence in the sincerity of the press
to the interests of the people than
all other sins the fraternity may
have committed.
