Searched for Valuables.

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J., october L.
Roman Smith, a well-to-Go farmer. was
killed at his home near here yesterday by
four men who previously had bound
and gagged his wife and ransacked
the house for money and valuabIes
which were supposed to have been hid

a son when he returned to the house
and the fathers body later was found

Mrs Smith says the men. whom she
described as foreigners. came to the
house earlier in the dey and asked for
water. She believes they concealed
themselves in the brush nearby and
waited for her husband to leave tho
house, attacking her after he had gone
into the fields. He returned unsXpect-
eddy and was dubbed and shot as he
came upon the robbers as they were
leaving the house.

GARBAGE TRUCK
PROVES A SUCCESS
Believed That One More Will
Give Whole City
Service.

Within the next few days the Board
Of Affairs will meet to purchase an
additional automobile truck for the
gathering of garbage. The new truck
that has been In operation for the
past several days is proving most ef'
ficient in its work on the South Side
and Sanitary officer Holden has re-
commended to the city department
that an additional truck be purchased
at once.
Mayor Bowen Is in favor of purchas'
ing one additional truck and will ask
the Board Of Affairs for permission
to take immediate action.
1t Is the belief Of those in charge that
because of the efficiency Of the truck
now in operation, that two such gar
bage collectors will be sufficient for
the entire city. Until the new truck
arrives, Sanitary Officer Holden is
handling the city garbage as best as
he can.

But it works the other way, too.
One day, according to Longs Dan
ish manager, NJ. P. Knudson, they
had 100000 pounds on hand and
there was a drop Of z cents.
That made a different story" he
said. But he smiled in manner
that indicated it ended happily,
Long started buying and selling
butter, eggs and chickens in small
way about 40 years ago. In those
days butter was made in the old fam
lily churn. 1t was pretty way, with
ma in her neat Bingham sunbonnet
presiding. 1t was picturesque, but
not efficient, nor always sanitary, nor
highly profitable.
Today the farmers sell their cream
to Long who makes 100000 pounds
of butter year out of it. His am bi,
ton is to make 100000 pounds
and to that end he is building new
| factory. He will then, it is said, have
the largest butter iundstry in the
world, making Union City the butter
capital.
Ma would take the cream as It was
germs and all. The creamery today
sterilizes it first. Long has 300 f1eld
/ stations to which farmers bring their
cream to be tested for butter fats
The farmer sees the test made and
gets his cash Immediately.
Long uses about $4,000 gallons Of
cream each day, and last year there
accrued to him as a by-product $20,,
