TABLET IS
UNVEILED
Memorial to Samuel Beach
Jones.
ISTPRESBYTERIAN
Pastor of Church From 1880 to
1861 Is HonOred by Con-
gregation.

At the service last Sunday morn
ing in the First Presbyterian Church
a bronze tablet in memory of the
Rev. Samuel Beach Jones, DID,, was
unveiled. DR.. Jones was pastor of
the First Church from 1S39-1861. He
was a man of strong personality and
exerted a great influence not only
in the congregation but in the COM
munity at large as well as in the
Presbytery of West Jersey.
The tablet is inscribed as follows:
1917
Samuel Beach Jones, D. D.
Pastor of this church
Twenty Four Years
1839-1S63
But as men allowed of God to
be put in trust with the Gospel,
even SO we speak, not as pleas
ing men, but God, with truth in
cur hearts,"
In connection with the unveiling of
the tablet, DR.. Collins said in part
ct is fifty years and more since
the pastorate Of DR.. Jones over this
church was ended. For twenty-four
years preceding that time he had
faithfully ministered to this people.
To most Of you here this morning DR..
Jones is only name, not even
memory, for you never knew him, but
to the few who yet remain who came
under his ministry his memory is a
rich heritage. Faithful to his God
and his Christ, with an unfaltering
belief in the old old Word, with a
zeal for the advancemnt of the King
dom, he exercised an influence which
has been passed on from generation
to generation, and that influence still
abldes. A few of his friends still
connected with this church, and some
others no longer associated with US,
have erected this tablet on the north
wall as memorial token. 1t is un-
usual that after such a period of time
his memory should still abide so
clearly in the hearts of those who
knew him and should inspire this
expression of appreciation, but that
is the evidence of the STRENGTH of
his character and the helpfulness OF
his ministry in this community. In
seeking to honor his memory we hon
or ourselves in thus perpetuating the
remembrance of life well lived, and
service well rendered in the ad-
Vancement of the Masters kingdom"

COAL PRICES
ARE LOWERED

Washington, June 5.-Efforts of the
Federal Trade Commission to lower
anthracite coal prices are succeeding
the commission announced today in
this statement:
The producers of very great
proportion of anthracite tonnage are
selling their output at moderate
prices, so that the high premiums
charged by a number of operators
during recent weeks are beginning to
disappear from the market.
I'm its efforts to insure that the
consumer gets anthracite coal at
moderate prices the commission is
requiring operators to report weekly
all orders accepted, together with the
prices for the same. AS a basis for
publicity, within the powers of the
commission, production costs are be-
ing secured from any operators who
continue to maintain Enthusiastically
high prices. Anthracite jobbers are
required to furnish the commission
with a, weekly report, giving COM
plete purchase and sales data and
gross profits on each transaction.
Agents are in the field keeping in
close touch with retail prices, so that
distribution and prices are being
traced all the way from the mine to
the consumer"

INSPECTING
CAMP SITES

Clayton, N. j., June 5. With Clay
ton virtually abandoned as a possible
site for a cantonment, according to
the announcement made last night by
state military authorities, other avail
able sites in south Jersey are being
inspected under the direction of Ad-
jutant General Barber, it was learned
today.
Those persons who have consulted
with the military authorities over the
proposed cantonment believe that it
will be placed somewhere between
Camden and Atlantic City, presum-
ably on the twenty-mile wide strip
that lies between the parallel lines
of the Reading Railway and the third
rail electric system of the West Jer-
sey and Seashore Railroad where
they cross the state to the coast.
There are some broad acres OF
cheap lands in the lower end of
Gloucester county and in Atlantic
county that it is believed would make
quite satisfactory cantonments for
such large army. es \

Trenton, June 6-Charles L. Rich
mond, Republican, of Daretown, Sal
EN- county, has been appointed to the
Salem County Board of Taxation by
Governor Edge, upon the recommen-
dation of Senator Collins B. Allen, of
that county. This is turn down for
Assemblyman Lemuel H. Greenwood,
of Elmer, who was an active aspir-
ant for the place and claimed to have
the backing of former Governor E. c.
Stokes and David Baird. He was al
so favored by several of the party
leaders Of the county, as well as by
State Superintendent of Weights and
Measures Frank Wanser, of vineland,
Gun oerland county. Despite all this
endorsement, Senator Allen refused
to recommend him to the Governor
and selected Richmond. Greenwood's

Senator Allen and there already is
talk that Mr.. Greenwood will be a

S0YBEANS
FOR SEED

Where land cannot be prepared in
time for a crop Of corn or where
substitute for oats or buckwheat in
the rotation is desired, soybeans for
seed are an excellent emergency crop
which, if well inOculated and cared
for, will give good returns on almost
any well-drained soil of fair fertility.
The beans should be planted dur
ing early June Or by July first if pos
sible, and with seed at 500 a bushel.
planting in 80 to SO inch rows at the
rate of about pecks per acre will be
preferable. A corn planter or grain
drill with some spouts stopped, may
De used for planting and a 200 to 800
pound broadcast application Of bone,
acid phosphate or 2-10 fertilizer is
advisable. Two or three civilizations
should be given during the early
stages of growth.
Soybeans respond strongly to lime
and incubation should never be ne
elected.
Harvesting may be done with a
binder if fairly ripe, or a selg-rake
reaper, Or even a mower if the swath
is turned back out of the way Of the
next round. The beans should be
cut just before they are dead ripe, as
more of the leaves will thereby be
saved, there will be less shattering
and the beans will not be SO apt td
mould or sprout if wet weather fol-
lows. They should be left out until
thoroughly dry and then stacked or,
stored in the barn till threshing,
which may be done with a fail or,
grain separator. Yields range from
10 to rs bushels or more per acre.
and if cut at the right stage and well
cured the straw may make ton or
> more of good roughage.
The following varieties for seed
are recommended by the New Jersey
State Agricultural College for the
state: Chestnut and Ito San for the
northern counties, or late planting;
Ohio 9O35, Wilson and Medium yell
low and Medium Green for the CEN
trail and southern counties, with pos
sibly Tar Heel, Sable Ebony and
Mammoth Yellow, which are longer
season varieties for the southern
counties.
