FARMERS SHOOT DEER.
Say They Are Obliged to Do So to
Save Orchard and Crops,

Barnegat, n. J.-Ocean county farm
ers are taking the law into their own
hands and shooting deer out of season
to save their crops from the ravages
Of herds Of these animals. A commit
tee headed by Ezra Parker and W. j.
Dougan returned from visit to the
governor and said the state was pow
erless to protect the farmers or to sus-
pend the law, which provides penalty
Of 500 for each deer killed. The board
Of freeholders also was appealed to,
but members said they had no author
ity to save the crops, although Director
Otis of the board said he saw a herd
Of seven deer eating his crops.
So desperate have the farmers be-
come that they are now shooting the
deer and using the meat. The game
wardens have not made any arrests,
and it is question whether they could
obtain any convictions if they did

Gold Leaf,

There appears to be some mystery
about the origin Of gold leaf. It is

ing been used for covering teeth, tongue,
skin, etc. Sometimes it Is also found
on the coffins. Gold leaf was also used
on the tombs and monuments Of ancient
Egypt. The process of making gold
leaf has thus been known since the
eighth century B. G. In the eleventh
century it seems to have attained as
high degree Of perfection as today.
The gold leaf on some ancient Grecian
pottery, indeed, is as thin as that now

POWER OF MONEY.
And the Danger That May Como With
a - Undue Love Of Wealth.

Nnu Ine baUSer iHdb way SOno WIN
. =! Undue Love Of Wealth.
1t is convenient to have money. We
all see many ways In which we would
like to use it. But when we have
money we are all apt to wish it just q
little more. Who is to say what is the
exact amount it is right that we should
possess? Wishes. tastes. desires, diff
fer. We ourselves do not know what
our limit should be.
With too much money one is likely
to become conceited. to lose sympathy
and be hard hearted and more than
likely regardless of the means he takes
to add to his store. If he has too little
he may be envious of others, embitter-
ed toward society, tempted to dishon-
esty, or there may be real suffering
for need of what money can buy. No
one. not even the man in prison cell,
can live in any degree of comfort with
out money. 1t is necessary TO life.
Yet there are many things of greater
value than. money, things that money
cannot buy, that are necessary TO our
welfare. Undue love of money is
poison in the soul, eating out what is
of most worth. We'may pay too high
a price for its acquisition. We should
judge our desire for money by our
purpose. our motive in wanting it
Money is a power for, good or evil. as
we choose to use it.-Nilwaukee Jour-

Intensive Production of Munitions In
France Gives Them Chance.
Paris.-The intensive production of
munitions IN France, with its enor-
nous requirements in hand labor, has
opened up new future for the deaf
and dumb, who before the war were
excluded from factory work. Now
hundreds of them are making shells
and parts of automobiles and aero
planes for the army. Some are earning
the equivalent of 81 a day.
Manufacturers refused deaf and
dumb help previously because Of en-
ployers' liability laws. There were
also prejudices against them because
of the supposed difficulty of conveying
orders. In practice 1t has been found
the deaf and dumb meet with no more
accidents than their comrades. They
learn even more quickly than do many
normal workmen, and their attention
never being diverted by conversation
their output is of the best finish and
equal In volume to that Of the best me-
chanicS.
The minister of armament has issued
q circular to directors Of hand labor ir
munitioo factories ordering them tC
prevent discrimination against deaf
and dumb applicants for employment
as mechanics.
