CAST ALFALFA BEFORE SWINE

Alfalfa Is adapt ed to almost any region but must have soil sweetened with lime and inoculated with soil from a success full alfalfa field or sweet clover cor ner." Many farmers have failed with alfalfa because of poor seed and care less methods in providing a proper seedbed. MT. Coburn points out the fact that alfalfa is an ideal feed for horses, cattle, sheep, swine and chick ens Land that grows alfalfa Is worth 50 per cent more than land that has not been made to grow this queen of legumes. he claims.

The councilmen did not say IT was

a bulkhead is necessary. and we

true candidate in Woodrow Wilson.
He has three years of achievement to
! show where he stands along the limo
of progressive legislation, whereas
the Republican candidate is a mys-
terry and the party is still in the con-
troll of the reactionaries, as was
shown by the turning down of Roose-
welt and the nomination of Hughes.
Such standpatters as Penrose, Gal

are Roosevelt, Perkins and some of

a divided party no matter how much
the Republicans try to show that oil

LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER

Just one opportunity remains for
voters to register for the coming
election. Next Tuesday, October "a
will be registry day for all municipal
tiles having more than 10000 popula-
ton. On the following Tuesday
October 81, will be registry day fol
all boroughs towns and townships OF
10000 population or less. Anyone
who has not registered this year must
do so before they can vote.
If by any chance a voter has not
registered and will not be home so as
to register on the date mentioned
above, he can, under an amendment
to the election law passed at the last
session of the Legislature, register by
affidavit. The amendment reads:
ANY voter who is unable by reason
of illness or absence from the state
TO register personally may make and
! sign an affidavit on a form to be
procured from a board of registry
/ and election, containing a statement
| of the reasons for his inability to
ISSiStet III petSOll anu also the same
statements which a voter registering
personally is required to make as
herein before provided a.
The affidavit is to be taken before
some person who is by laan
lied to aAe-.-4--es =, aHNl0
Ode of the state must be accom-
panied by proper certificate show
ing the authority of the person ad-
ministering the oath to take affida-
Wits. Any voter registering by affi-
davit must file same with the board
of registry and election of the district
in which the voter is entitled to vote,
on or before the last registry day. 1t
is further set forth that any person
answering falsely In such an affidavit
will be guilty of perjury, and liable to
the penalty therefor.
AS the election to be held Novem-
Der is the most important ever held
in New Jersey, every citizen should
make it a point to get his name on
the poll books Under the amend
ment there is no excuse for man
failing to register. 1t is his patriotic
duty to do so.

care of it's own employees and seeing
that they were properly provided for.
1t would be easy enough for the
Standard Oil Company to make living
conditions more tolerable for it's en-
ployes and still have millions to give
away to the various enterprises in
which the Rockefellers are interested.
What a striking contrast there is
in the manner of running their bust
ness between John d. Rockefeller
and Henry Ford, the automobile
manufacturer. Ford is making mill
lions of dollars, but before he begins
to endow colleges, establish libraries
and make enormous contributions to
other causes, he sees to 1t that the
men who have made his wealth pos
sible are properly cared for. He has
established a minimum wage in his
plant of $500 a day. There is no
poverty, depression or need for
strikes in Henry Ford's plant Neither
do the men begrudge the money that
Henry Ford uses for his own pleasure
and disposes of as may suit his
whims.
If the Standard OIL could only see
the light and do something for it's
own employees to relieve the intoler-
able conditions under which they
have to work, and give them living
wage so that they too could get some
thing out of life, how much better
the Standard OIL Company would
stand before the public today. We
blame the men for striking
ghen they learn that a single days

making it almost impossible to keep

1t is a pity that the men resort to |
7iolence as soon as they go out on |
strike. No matter how just their !
,ause. they must realize that law and |
order stands first in this country. If |
hese men could be properly led and |
make their demands in a way in |
which the public could back them up,
t is possible that something could be !
