An observers" Letter

Simple Talks on Dry Farming;
Sweat Of the Earth Explained" is
by far the best article in your farm
ers magazine section for the simple
reason the author speaks the truth;
in other words, knows whereof he
speaks. ,
by watching an 'old-timer' gar
den, / was an interested observer of
the principles of conserving the
earth's moisture as set forth by the
author Of the article and until the
farmer learns to properly conserve
the sweat OF the land even the ir-
rigated sections will not be produc-
tive OF It's hidden resources.
TOO many farmers, not neces-
sarily new corners, irrigate and then
do not know how to hold the mois-
ture they already have-so irrigate
again-thereby washing the soil Of
it's nitritive properties, which natur-
ally lessons the power behind the
throne. Results: Labor and time
practically lost. quantity and quail
ty insufficient and inferior.
"A scientific study Of the earth's
natural moisture, combined with
common sense, application to the
soil, will bring results never before
thought of.
Read the article again and again
deep thinking is better than deep
blowing"

MANURE GOING TO WASTE

Some of the progressive farmers
of this county have been trying to
decide just what value there is in
stable manure, SO they could deter
mine how much they could afford
to pay for it rather than go without.
Nobody seems able to answer the
question, and feel sure that he is
right.
The Republican office made some
Investigations during the past few
weeks to see where large quantities
OF manure could be obtained and
found that there are very large
quantities at the old stables at the
mines in western Wyoming where
they have used mules for from 10
to 40 years and the accumulations
have continued all the time.
The cost of loading it on the cars
would be about SO cents ton, the
cost of shipping 81 and the cost Of
hauling from the beet dumps to the
farms would be an individual prob
lem for each farmer to consider.
Few farmers think it worth moving
at that much expense and IL the
matter of FREIGHT rates were taken
lup with the interstate commerce
commission to get lower rate it
would require publication for so
days before adoption. 1t would re-
quire some time to get it up to the
commission and in turn to be acted
upon. 3 ST
At these old coal mine stables
there is every grade of fertilizer
known to muledom, ranging from
fresh and burned out down to the
black loamy quality that was old
when settlement began in the Snake
river valley. If farmers conclude
they want a few carloads or few
trainloads, there is way to get it.,
and If it is to be put on the fields,
say next December and January, it
would be advisable to begin working
ON the matter of rates about the
first Of April. The place Of the mule
in the mines is being filled in most
places by electric trans.
Instances have been given where
a coat of manure on beet fields have
added about $50 or $35 an acre the
first year and about as much the
second year; the third year the crop
yield declines again, showing that
the fertilizer has spent itself. II
the above figures are to be depended
upon, and II fertilizer of good
quality can be delivered at the beet
dumps 1t should not matter much
what the cost is, SO long as 1t is
below the ten-dollar mark and SO
long as the farmer can haul it to
his fields during the dull season
when he has no other employment.
II a man had to mortgage his farm
to get the fertilizer 1t would seem
reasonable to expect the fertilizer to
pay OF the mortgage.

ample in my Judgments under the
heading, "Subduing the Desert with
Smiles and Tears" Because that is
the way all obstacles are overcome.
And the smile that is worth praise
LOT the earth is the smile that comes
thru tears. Y
MY reason for believing the
above topic the best are as foHoWs:
That it plainly shows the success
in one and. his method of meeting
the obstacles. l." aa7,i
And the failure of the other and
his methods Of meeting the same
obstacles, only he goes down with
the same thing that raises the other.
The virtue lies in the struggle,
not the prize, to know how to wiring
victory from defeat and making step
ingstones of our stumbling-blocks is
the secret of success.
Many lessons could be learned
from this topic if we could profit by
others experiences.
Y wessee here family starting witai
nothing in this life journey, but with
determination to make the most
out of what he has. He, no doubt,
knew the little song, Hold on to
What You've Got, for IT'S hard to
Get a Little Bit More" He does all
he can to make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before. 4;
while on the other side we see
a man going in the opposit direction.
Say the man who might contract
five acres of beets, plant three and
care for two, then claim beets to
be failure. We might ask is any
crop a success with him; has he the
power to meet failures? No. They
strike him like lightning and he goes
down. Then we think of fail-yet
rejoice, because no less, "The failure
which makes thy distress, May teach
another full success"
I'VE read between the lines the
spirit Of the two, one that of courage
stick-toitiveness and contentment
and in the other that Of indifference
and defeat and perhaps Of careless
ness and discomfort. There are ex-
captions and l do not criticise no
man. Pope tells us, Honor and
shame from no condition rise, act
we'll your part, there all the honor
lies"
ITO sum it all up that success Is
in the man, In the will-power, tho
determination, in patient untiring in
dustry, in ability to seize and make
the most of every thing; determine
ton and energy will accomplish any
thing. And second: That the history
of many a failure can be written in
three words, In attention to de-.
tails"

LETTERSBY WRITER'S.
IN GOLD CONTEST
Chas. j. Thompson,s letter

THE paper il Interesting and in
structive throughout and should be
appreciated by the farmer, the bsui-
ness man and all other good citizens.
Truly it shows the editor to be a
man with vision.
ITO pick the best article among
so many good ones is difficult task.
TO me there is inspiration in the
article entitled, : Coming of the
Rupees If this community, with its
wonderful resources and opportuni-
ties, were composed of rs per cent
of that kind of people what pros
porous place it would be! Truly,
such as they are real soldiers of the
soil. tV
Other good articles are, The
Happy Hoggery,' The Prodigal
Sow, and Profits of Keeping Ami
mails Comfortable and Happy
Now. after having read each
article over several times, have
decided to give first place to the one
entitled, IAN Interview with Colonel
M. "a. Fugate. The problem Editor
Trego has on his mind is serious
one; problem we must all help
solve. The proper place to begin is
with ones self. The problem must
be worked out by process Of elm
ination-that is, we must eliminate
all the foolish and expensive habits
which stand between us and success
''It seems to me this interview
contains so much food for thought
for the man who has failed and does
not know why. The colonel points
out why SO many men fail on the
farm. / venture to say that more
good will come from this printed
interview than from all the other
4. articles combined Many a farmer
having read this message will mend
the old harness, fix the old mower
and binder, and trade that piano or
automobile for a cow and q sow;
moreover he will make the latter
pay for that farm as the colonel has
testified he.shas seen men. do.
ANY man who, thru talk, example
or printed matter, brings farmer,
merchant or laborer face to face with
himself, and makes him see the folly
of his ways has done more good for
that person than il he had staked
him to sum Of money. The first
is everlasting benefit and blessing,
the latter often proves curse.
Finally, then let us who imagine
we are down and out, profit by the
lesson taught in the above mention
interview and resolve to shake on
the letters OF shiftlessness, extrava-
gance and inaction, take new hope
and courage and strive for the sue
cess which may be ours"

GRENDA AND HILL
STILL UNSIGNED
Convey Starts for Chicago
Without Contract of New
York Race Winners.

Thomas p. Convey, one of the group
of Chicago sportsmen who plan to
promote a six-day cycling race in the
Windy City early next ninth. left for
home this afternoon from New York
on the Twentieth Century Limited.
Convey spent some time today in con-
ference with Alfred Grenda and Fred
die Hill, winners of the recent New
York six-day race, but after the con-
fab 1t was announced that Grenda
and Hill had not signed to compete
in the Windy City event.
It is said that Convey made fiat
tering offer to the long distance stars,
but while they were willing to listen
to the Chicago promoter they pre-
ferred to wait until the question Of
obtaining a sanction for the event
from the National Cycling Associa-
ton was settled before signing.
Convey announced TO-DAY that he
had had q conference with Harry
Cochrane. manager of Madison
Square Garden, and that he had OBJ
tanned a promise of an option on the
garden for the six-day race in New
York next winter, provided that the
race nv the r'- :" 70 promoters was a
success next month.

BOND TAX HINGES
ON DECISION Of
COUNTY BOARD
Charitable Institutions Contend
That Their Securities Are
Exempt.

Upon the decision to be reached by
the Essex County Board of Taxation,
which is in session this afternoon.
hinges the question as TO whether or
not bank stock held by charitable in
stitutions and churches is taxable.
Whatever the decision of the county
board relative to several appeals from
assessments which are up for consid-
GRAFTON today, it is expected that the
case will be appealed to the New
Jersey Supreme Court, in order to fix
the exact status of the new act tax
ing bank stock.
Under the provisions of the general
taxation act In force in this State all
churches and charitable institutions
are exempt from taxation. On the
general assumption, in lieu OF deit-
mite provision otherwise, that the new
bank stock act applies to all such
stock, whether held by private 1ndl-
vlduaIs or churches and charitable
institutions, the county tax board has
levied the assessments on bank stock
held by the Protestant Foster Home,
the First Presbyterian Church, Trim
ity Episcopal Church and the Newark
Ornhon Asylum, as told exclusively
in the Evening Star of last Friday.
An assessment of S5.15 has been
levied against the seventy Eight
shares of the National Newark Bank
ing Company, held by the Protestant
E'oster Home. The First Presbyterian
Church, which holds twenty-four
shares OF the same stock, has been
assessed S26.f9. Trinity Church,
which holds forty-one shares of the
same stock, has been assessed $44.75.
The Newark Orphan Asylum has been
assessed $1l2.43 on 1853 shares of Ma
tional Newark Banking Company
stock, and $13.0S on it's forty-one
shares of National State Bank stock.
When the case was called this after
noon the appellants were represented
by Attorney William r. Day, of the
law firm of Day & Day. Harold Mil
Ter represented the county, while the
interests Of the city of Newark were
looked after by John P. Manning.

REFEREE ADAMS
WILL RESIGN
FROM OFFICE
To Retire from Bankruptcy
Court After Present Cal
endar Is Cleared.

Edwin G. Adams, referee in bank
ruptcy. of this city, will tender his
resignation to Federal Judges Rell-
stab and Haight, it was learned to-
day. It Is understood, however, that
Mr.. Adams will not take this step
until majority of the more import
ant cases now before him are closed.
This may take several months.
Mr.. Adams, who has moved his Of
fees from the Essex building to the
Clinton building, just across the
street, today declined to discuss the
matter when asked on what date he
intended to resign.
Mr. Adams received his appoint
ment in 1905, when Judge William M.
Lanning presided over the United
States District Court. He succeeded
was the first bankruptcy referee to
be appointed for Essex county. This
took place in July, 1898.
During the eleven years Referee
Adams has served as presiding Of
icer in the local bankruptcy court
many important cases have been
heard before him. 1t has been known
in bankruptcy circles for some time
that Referee Adams has contem-
plated resigning. For several weeks
past no new cases, it is understood,
on Referee Adams request have been
referred to him.
Recently Referee Adams was Sc
xereIv, injured in an automobile ac-
cident near Red Bank. His injuries
confined him to his home for several
weeks. It is understood that Mr..

as it's chairman. Mr.. Scudder's news
paper has been antagonistie TO Mr..
Murphys work in connection with the
committee. It has bitterly criticised
the former governor.
The News rodav said Alr Scpdder's
resignation had been send 10 Mayor
Raymond. Al the City Hall no one
could be found who knew anything of
the Scudder letter Mr.. Raymond was
not at his office this afternoon.
Mr.. Scudder makes no mention of
his editorial attacks on Mr.. Murphy.
He swings back to that part of the
News idea that the memorial build
ing should become part of group of
educational buildings i'll the center of
Newark which eventually will be-
come university.
Mr.. Scudder did not offer any copies
of his resignation to the press, aside
from his own newspaper. He says in
his letter he is resigning because Of
''the publicly expressed request by
two gentlemen of prominence in the
Committee of one Hundred" He also
alleges another reason. This is that
he Is quitting in order to be able to
comment freely in his own newspaper
regarding the actions of Tie commit
tee. This idea, however, obviously
was not apparent to the publisher
until after the reputation of the
News and its stand toward Mr. MUIR
ply by the Committee of One Hun
dred last Friday. The action Of the
committee was unanimous. Mr..
Scudder did not attend.
Mr.. Scudder's letter IS as follows:
II readily accede to the publicly
expressed request by two gentlemen
of prominence in the Committee of
One Hundred that / resign. 1t seems
more desirable to relinquish my mem-
bership in the committee than to en-
barrass my freedom of comment.
Pardon me If I take this oEs1or-
tunity of trying to state the cause of
my keen disappointment in the de-
cision of the memorial building COM
mlttee and my resentment at the de-
struction of an unique educational
opportunity, shared by some Of the
trustees of the Newark Museum AS
sociation.
ITO explain, / must go back to what
gave rise to the idea of a memorial
building. The museunI had so far
been worked in close relation with the
library, and to those active In the
work it appeared in many ways that
their fields were so close that they
overlapped. So much so that it was
question as to the proper placing of
some objects as between the two in
stitutions. The combined collections
became so large that the library
building was inadequate. Just then
came the suggestion of the anniver-
-I.l... tsr,,,
portunity for the realization of an
extensive public service through a
memorial building.

Although the letter which was
postmarked Long Branch, and which
was received by the Fusco family
week ago today was unsigned, from
its tenor and several peculiarities of
style, Mr.. Fusco is confident that Its
author is none other than that OF the
murderer for whom a reward Of

For years Federico has been ae-
quainted with the family of Mr..
Fusco and his daughter, Miss Mary
Fusco, related to the Montclair rep
resentative Of the Evening Star this
morning. and they said the author Of
the missive had pledged himself to
harm either Miss Fusco or some other
member of the family. They said the
letter was very brief.
1t is Known that Miss Fusco met
Federico in Little Falls on the day
prior to the shooting and while both
stared at the other neither spoke.
Miss Fusco is confident that he recog-
nized her however and holds her
blamable for the authorities learning
that he was in hiding at the Cedar
Grove place and for the ensuing po-
lice tragic investigation.
That Federico is perfectly capable
and will undoubtedly make deter
mined effort to execute his threats
was the opinion expressed by Mr.
Fusco in an interview i'll which he re-
peatedly characterized the murderer

and evening service.
That the new church leader pur-
poses to play a part in civic as well
as religious affairs, as he did in Lex
ington, was evidenced by an an
! nouncement he made prior to an
nouncing the text of his first sermon
here as pastor.

come better acquainted"
DR.. Reynolds is busy today looking
for a residence.
No arrangements have been made
for his installation as pastor, but
the date will be set at the next meet
ing of the presbytery, when the resig-
nation of Rev. Robert r. Littell, as
pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian
Church, will also be acted upon. DR..
Littell resigned recently to accept a
call to Philadelphia.
The mems annual dinner and New
Years welcome to the new pastor will
be held in Park Church on Thursday
evening, January 20. At that time ad-
dresses will be made by DR.. Reynolds,
Rev. DR.. John Mcdowell, the former
pastor, who is now in charge OF the
brown Memorial Church, Baltimore;
Rev. DIR. Lyman Whitney Allen, pas
tor of the South Park Presbyterian
church. and Nolan r. Best, editor Of
the Presbyterian organ, THE Con-
tinent."
Miss Constance Phelps Brown,
daughter of Frederick l.. Brown,
church clerk, has been chosen by DR..
REYNOLDS as his secretary. She served
for three years as assistant to Dr.
Mcdowell and has been invited to re-
main in that position.
Probably the nearest that DR..
REYNOLDS came to touching upon a
civic situation in his morning sermon,
which was IfOnl tlS tSA', Ii t'C OO-
ginning. God" as found in Genesis III,
was when he said, begin your bust
ness with God. 1t is not impractical
to bring God into business. Some say
Won cannot take God into politics.
If I couldn't take God into business
with me / would quit the business.
If couldn't take God into politics
with me, / would get out of politics" I"
During the entire day, whether in
the church or Sunday school, DIR.
REYNOLDS was greeted by scores of
people and the general impression
seemed to be that he was the best
man that could have been found to
lead the religious activities of the
church as the successor OF Rev. John
Mcdowell, who resigned last spring
to become pastor of the Brown Memo
rial Church, Baltimore.
"On the first day of my new pas
torate," said DR.. Reynolds, in Begin
ming his sermon, II quote the first
thing in the Bible, In the beginning,

first principle, until we find, in the
beginning, God. 1t means great
