Governor Criticizes Semi-0f-

Propaganda.
By Special Correspordene.

TRENTON, Nov. 13-"I believe all
suggestions for general cooperation
should come directly from the Fed
erai department with the force and
effect Of war measures and to all
states alike, and not from individ-
ual propagandists no matter how
well meaning or enthusiastic" de-
clared Governor Edge today in a
statement criticising the many and va
r1ous calls which are being made for
financial and other help for various
movements relating to the war.
Importuned on all sides for appro-
priatlons, recommendations in the
accompanying executives budget by
directors of semi-official and unoffi-
cial propaganda In connection with
war activities, the Governor gave vent
to his feelings In the matter. He
made 1t very plain that the state treas.
ury would not be tapped for any such
funds until the Federal government
formally and definitely announced its
plan for the expenditure of Federal
funds and what was desired of the
states in addition to that.
New Jersey is willing and ready to
raise hundreds of thousands or a mil
lion dollars for legitimate war activ-
tiles when 1t is sure these activities
are essential and necessary in the
opinion Of the government to the pros
ecution of the war;" said the execu-

Realizing the truth of the slogan
that food will win the war" the pro-
ducers of food from all parts of the
state will confer here during that
week on the problems of production
and the means of increasing the food
supply in the face of serious labor
and fertilizer shortage. Programs OF
especial interest are being prepared
or dairymen, poultrymen, hog rails

ernor, armed with letter of endorse

deserving and there is nothing To crit
icise in the spirit of the thing, but
there must be a limit to this comb
ing for private and public funds"
Mr.. Edge said New Jersey is asked
to raise money for camp recreation
activities at the same time that the
Y. M. c. A. is doing this very thing.
The governor said in his judgment
the Y. M. c. A is better equipped to
take care of this than any other
agency because II already has its
buildings at the cantonments and
possesses an organization already
strongly formed. His statement point
ed out how the state was wise in not
going to the expense of taking mil
itary census. as was urged at the
opening Of the war, showing that this
was later done under the selective
draft act Many patriotic citizens
also have been urging census-tak-
ing of state women willing to engage
in war work. The executive declared
that when the federal government
wants Information it should arrange
for a comprehensive plan among the
states for getting it as was done in
the draft registration. This would
guard against premature waste of
energy and money.
Estate lines have been eliminated
by the war" Mr.. Edge declared
Revenue for federal war taxation is
coming from the people of the states:
so are the funds derived from the
sale of Liberty Loan Bonds and for
the Red Cross and other auxiliary
war activities. More cannot be asked
of the people of individual states on
the ground that they have done
nothing and that their contribution to
various propaganda is separate and
distinct as a state contribution. If
more is asked it should be only after
very careful consideration in order
to provide full protection against
overlapping activities and waste. The
states must know just how and where
the federal funds are to be expended
and what the federal government
really expects of the states in the way
of additional financing"
The governor made 1t plain that
he appreciates the spirit of patriotism
and unselfish and laudable aims
which are the motives behind the
different war activities, but IL there
is overlapping, lost motion and f.
nancial waste will result and he feels
it his duty to protect the taxpayers
and citizens against errors OF judg-
ment of this kind. Some new cam
paign for something or other Is start
ed nearly every day. he declared.

slant at the six months bread CON
tract awarded by the county COM

The county board has closed a con-
tract with the U. P. Baking company

was made providing for the staff Of

bakers claim they won't wax rich on
the contract at that, About $3.50
worth of bread is eaten each month
in the county institutions.
The Contract was made for the

prices will drop by fall.

Bad Tempered

1t is said that bad-tempered WON

ness for the rest of humanity thar
all the other disagrecable features one
finds in life, and the unlucky posses,
sor of an uncontrolled temper car
easily drive to ruin or to other women
the men whose misfortune it is to
move in her orbit.
Men are very mortal beings; they
are also very selfish, and they have
tremendous fondness for having
their physical and mental comfort un-
disturbed.
The average bachelor prizes perma
nent peace and content above the
happiness Of possessing a beautiful
attractive creature for wife, and he
knows that bad-tempered woman
and peace do not go together.
He admires spirited woman, but
he knows that a corresponding strong
will goes along with strong character,
and he expects her to exercise it.
The assertion from a woman that
she has bad temper and is proud
of it has kept more than one worthy
man from asking her to share his
fortune as his wife,
The, woman who can control her
self under the most trying circum-
stances is the woman who holds tie
strongest power over man, a
No matter how beautiful and clever
and fascinating the bad-tempered
woman may be, or how lengthy her
bank account, her power is inhnitesi-
NAL compared with that Of her anna
bic sister.
And amisbility is not only power.
it is mental progression and health
and happiness and long life to ones
self and to ones friends and family.
