There will be no special session of the
Legislature to pass an act permitting the
New Jersey soldiers on the Mexican bor-
der to vote. An emergency session was
made unnecessary yesterday afternoon
when Assistant Attorney Attorney Gen
eraI Herbert Boggs rendered an opinion
to Secretary of State Martin that the act
Of 1898. passed during the Spanish war,
%eonfefs sufficient power TO meet the pre-
sent situation. The opinion was written
after a conference between Governor
Fielder, Secretary Of State Martin and
Mr.. Boscs.
Mr.. Boggs states that after an eX-
animation of the facts. the authorities
and the decisions Of the United States
and various state courts. he is of the
opinion that the 5000 soldiers now in
service of the Federal Government on
the Mexican border may vote at both
the primary and the general election.

Paper Prices Soaring

With this weeks issue of the PENN
Grove Record the paper on which it is
printed costs twenty-five per cent. more
than formerly, while the quality is poor

the printers and publishers from twenty
five to fifty per cent more.
1t is claimed there is a big shortage in
wood pulp and other paper materials.
In order to partly remedy this all are
urged to save every scrap of paper and
cardboard.
Notwithstanding the increase in the
prices Of printers supplies old scrap

paper say they only receive 81 cents a

SOMEHOW we like the idea suggested by
delegation that waited on the mayor of
New York the first OF the week and asked
that federal, State or city authorities seize
the vast quantities OF food held in cold
storage warehouses by spectators and
dispense if at fair prices to the public.
Municipal markets seem to be the only
practical solution Of the present food
troubles. Everything in the way of pro-
visions that is shipped to the cities now
must pay toll first to the railroads, then
to the storage people and wholesalers,
and finally TO the retail dealers who sell
it te the consumers. By the time the
food has finally reached the consumer its
original cost has about doubled. Nobody
is satisfied with reasonable profit any
more, and extortion is the order of the
day.
Where will il end?
How long will the consumer be willing
10 be the goat?

announces that he will introduce into
Congress a new force bill TO apply against
the South. He wants the negro MAORI
ties in the South to rule, with a view to
making certain the election OF Republican
candidates for President. Senator Pen
rose has overlooked one thing in his
analysis ofthe recent presidential election:
!! was not the lack OF negro votes in the
South that defeated Mr. Hughes-it was
because the Republican candidate placed
himself in the hands of such selfish stand
pat reactionaries as Senator Penrose and
other mossbacks who are so objection
able TO the progressive element OF the

For the week ending May 30, 1916.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The week was unseasOnably cool,
the average temperature beng about
seven degrees below the normal.
Frost occurred from one to three
nights and ice formed in many local
tiles on the morning of the 18th. The
rainfall was ample in all districts
and excessive in many localities, es-
pecially in north central and north
western counties. Showers on the
afternoon of the 21st were accom-
panied by destructive winds in por-
lions of Polk, Jasper and Marion
counties ana did considerable dam
age to trees and buildings. Rains
have further delayed corn planting
and blowing and cold, wet ground is
causing slow growth Of early plant
ed and poor termination of late
planted corn. Some replanting is
being done on account OF insect in
Jury and poor seed. More winter
wheat plowed or disced and ground
plowed to corn Other small grain,
grass and truck doing very we'll.
Frost did some damage to tender
vegetation and strawberries, but IN
Jury was generally slight and straw
berries still give promise Of big crop.
Tree fruits generally good, but apples
VIII be lighter than last year. Stock
is thriving on pasture.
