DEATH OF MRS.
HUGH MAYBERRY

Mr.. and Mrs. o. ]. Mayberry re-
ceived a telegram Tuesday with the
sad intelligence of the death Of Lieut..
Hugh Mayberry's wife, at Troy, N. Y,
and he and Mrs. Mayberry left for
New York Immediately to attend the
funeral. Lieut.. Mayberry is stationed
at Richmond, S. c., and received no.
tice of his wife's death at that place.
Mrs. Mayberry gave birth to a child,
which is still living, last week. Lieut..
Mayberry is one of the first of our
boys to receive a commission in the
army. He is one of Farmington's
most worthy young men, and his host
of friends here extend to him their
most sincere sympathy in this great
shadow and sorrow that has oeen cast
over his life. He was expecting at
any moment to be called to France,
but The Times is informed that he had
not yet departed for over seas when
the Misunderstanding intelligence reach
ed him, and that he also was enabled
to return to the home of his bride for
the last sad rites.

This is good record but could have
been better had every parent exercised
the proper care in keeping the children
in. A few parents still insist in neg
Letting the education of their children

progressive patrons in the district.

Today Last wk.

Sheep ,.... 80. $500 1000
CATTLE.-With receipts of cattle
amounting to 10000 yesterday, and
5000 today, which are considerably
lighter than a week ago, prices have
shown some improvement, and today
are 25c higher on butcher stuff, and
steady to strong on steers, and indi-
cations are we will see better prices
on all classes of cattle the balance of
this week.
HOGS.--Prime fat native hogs are
selling 15c to 25c lower today, but
pigs and light weight hogs are in
demoralized condition, as the market
is swamped with them, with very lit
tie outlet, and there is lot of them
being held over today, for which there
was no demand. Southern hogs from
suspicious territory almost unstable.
SHEEP,-With very moderate re-
ceipts today, as compared with last
week, still the market is SOC per cwt.
lower on all varieties, and offerings
hard to sell at the prices. We expect,
however, to see lighter receipts the
balance of this week, and better pric-
es.

EAT less meat and more fish" was
one of the recommendation OF the
food conservators, and Immediately the
price Of fish jumped to almost double
the price Of last year. The national
food director has discovered that a fish
trust controls most OF the nets and con.
sequentIy fixes the prices. The leeis'
lature. last winter, passed law author.
ixing the state to buy and distribute
fish, but the statute did not state clear
ly whether the fish pounds could bt
operated. and an opinion on that poin'
from the Attorney General is being
awaited. A fish commission was ere
ated to investigate the cause for the big
jump in prices, and Asa Francis, o
Monmouth county. was made presi
dent OF the body. Asa always was !
good talk artist when he was in th'
Senate. and he has made public ths
result Of an investigation in which h'
practically ignores the doubling OF ths
price Of fish, but says he believes ths
existence Of the fish commission has
kept the commission men in restraint
and prevented inflated prices, but h'
does not seem to offer any suggestion
that will bring the price down. Hs
says the commission does not have any
idea OF going into the business OF buy
ing and selling fish SO long as ths
wholesale and retail dealers keep with
In the bounds of reason. 80 it must bs
taken for granted that Asa thinks thu
doubling Of prices is within th'
bounds Of reason" He figures th'
profits Of the retailers to be about fou
cents per pound, but he has not giver
any estimate Of the margin of profit Il

AEs PLACE OF REAL EYE
invention Of French oculist Invaluable
to Soldiers Who Have Suffered
Disagreement.

The high velocities and high explO-
siveness Of the present-day projectiles
often result In facial wounds of most
horrible appearance, In the repair of
which the surgeons meet with extreme
difficulties. In particular, soldiers re-
turn from the line of fire not merely
with an eye shot out, but with the en-
tire lid and eye socket destroyed, and
the absence of these foundations has
often made the insertion Of an arti-
ficial eye impossible.
Until the present moment there has
never existed any means for conceal
Ing this Disagreement and restoring to
the unfortunate victim the appearance
Of normal man possessing two eyes,
But quite recently a French oculist,
Henri Einius. has made 1t possible to
do this even when the eyelid Is entire
ly missing.
In Its essential features the apparatus
consists Of an artificial eye, equipped
with a lid Of any convenient plastic
material-paraffin or molding paste
colored to match the subjects COM
plexion. This eye is furnished also
with lashes, to give to 1t to the fullest
extent the appearance Of a natural
eye. 1t derives its support from fine
metal wires attached to eyeglass or
spectacles. SO adjusted that when the
latter is placed upon the nose. the
artificial eye falls accurately into its
cavity. The eye may easily be sepa-
rated from these attachments for
cleaning.

English Hereditary Offices.

Conventional epithets have once
more been used In the English news
papers about the late Lord Londesbor-
ough's hereditary Office as vice admi-
raj of the Yorkshire coast. In reality
there are many similar appointments
In force elsewhere. The lord mayor
of Bristol Is vice admiral of the chan
mel as far down as Holmes and DOS
sesses an ancient silver oar, which he
Is entitled to have borne before him
In virtue Of his Office. BY fiction Of
medieval law all dead persons washed
up by the tide were considered to be-
long to the parish In which the Mer-
chant yenturers stand, and births at
sea were registered there. Before the
organization of the royal navy. had
been fully developed 1t was convent
ent to intrust the interests of the
crown In regard to the duties of the
admiralty to local gentlemen, like the
Denisons of Scarborough, from which
the earls of Lonsdale derive, of suffi-
cient standing to be immune from
sympathy with smuggling, which was
the chief difficulty In early times. For
handling maritime questions special
qualifications were necessary, which
the lord lieutenant. If he were seated
inland, might not possess.

Then the war came to us. The bars
were thrown down and every restraint
on spending was removed. We began
borrowing by the billions and taxing
ourselves by the hundreds of millions
The people, in spirit of loyalty, &C.
cepted 25 per cent. increase in their
freight bills, approximately SO per
cent. in their railway fares; they paid
taxes and surtaxes without even in
quiring why or wherefore, believing it
was necessary to have the money to
win the war. They have stopped at
nothing and questioned nobody, but
there will be an end to that when the
war is won and we have to get back to
an everyday schedule.

money the Democratic revenue laws do

have at his disposal the So, 500, ,OoO, 900
Congress handed to him in his war

out $40, 900, 900 loans to the Bethlehem

WHEN the military authorities got
ready to work on some cases Of disor-
derly houses at Clementon, in Camden
county, they found that prosecutor
Wolverton had been there and had
cleaned up forty bungalows and had
sent the undesirable tenants to other
places. The houses had been occupied
by men and women, many of the lat
ter being as young as sixteen years
There was music Of all kinds and
dances that put the hoochy-koochy
and salome to shame, and minors anc
soldiers in uniform had no trouble in
obtaining liquor. Prosecutor Wolver
toms action has received great com
mendation from the residents OF tn
place. who had been waiting for lonl
time for something of this kind =
happen.
