NEW JERSEY PROFITS
BY ITS STATE FARMS

Newark, Oct. 80-Farms conducted
with State institutions have been re-
markedly profitable this year. Plans
for making these lands as productive
az possible were taken up in a scien-
tile manner at the early part OF 1918,
and the entire work was placed on
business basis under the direction OF
Governor Walter e. Edge. A single
head management was provided by
detailing an experienced man from the
State Agricultural Experiment Station
at New Brunswick, and all the State
farming activities were guided by him.
In addition TO the lands included In
the acreage OF the several institutions.
other lands were leased, some Of them
Immediately adjoining and some de-
tsched.
The planting Of all kinds Of grains
and vegetables has been heavier than
In any previous year, and, though 1917
was a banner period in State farming,
the yields this year are expected to
show not less than 10 to Is per cent.
Increase over last year. Inmates of
all institutions were utilised for the
work Of the farms, to the profit Of the
state and TO their own physical and
mental benefit. II 10 declared that
the agricultural activities thus prose-
euted will mean q saving Of many thou
sands OF dollars to the Btats this win

FAMOUS OLD EASTERN CITY

Tradition has it that when the
Half Noon first sailed up to Albany,
Henry Hudson, about 11S miles
Aerth Of Manhattan island, landed
en- the east bank Of the river and
climbed up from the sloping stretch
81 sandy beach to g beautiful chest
nut grove. subsequently this be-
came the center of 9 populous city,
the hrst in America to bear his
name, which was chosen for it by
the English settlers who later came
thither from Nantucket. The town
Of Hudson was incorporated in
1888; in the following year q thriv-
ing industry was establihed on the
very site where Hudson landed. This
was none other than the brewery OF
Benjamin Faulkins, which subse-
quently fell into the hands Of the
Evans family, who have maintained
this first establishment Of the kind
IN the colonies until the present day.
At one time there was more shipping
done at Hudson than at New York,

CELLULoID TO REPAIR NOSE
United States Physician Has Proved
Material 20 BE Ideal Tor the Pur-
pose, and Employs II

Repairing nose that has been
deformed by the loss of some Of it's
bone is a not unusual surgical OPP
GRAFTON, but it has require piece
of cartilage cut from a rib. Now,
however, DR.. G. B. New of the Mayo
clinic, Rochester, Mimi, is using eel
luloid instead of bone.
In the Journal of the American
Medical association he describes how
he tried celluloid strips in the nose
of a dog and found that they were
an ideal implant. Since then he has
repaired five human noses with per-
feet success.
Doctor New cuts from a slab Of
celluloid pieces of approximately the
size and shape needed, soaks them liz
hot water, trims them with scissors
and bores many small holes through
them. Then he cuts a pocket in the
nose from where the bridge of spec
tacles would rest down to the tip,
slips the strip in and sews up the
small wound. The flesh grows into
the holes in the celluloid and the
nose becomes normally shaped and
quite strong.

"WHITE MANS LAW WRONG"
Indians Lodge Emphatic Protest
Against Restrictions Imposed Upon
Them by the Statutes.

Gould P. Junior, full-blooded In
dian, living near Buckeye, Cal, who
has been a registered voter for ten
years, as he pays taxes on 997 acres
of land in Tehama county, protests
against the determination of ground
squirrels. The campaign of squir-
rel eradication opened in this coun-
ty recently. Junior says he expresses
the opinion of his father, Chief
Hang EN- Up Jim, and the major
ity of his tribe.
Ground squirrels are an impor-
tant item of our food" says Junior,
"and now the white man proposes to
take that staple from us, just as the
white man exterminated the buffa-
loes on the plains. We have squir-
rel days, and to US Indians they are
feast days, with ground squirrels as
the main dish. A new law even for
bids US killing bears in certain
months of the year."
John Lego, another full-blooded
Indian, who lives in the Big Bend
of the Pit, was released from the
county Jail, where he has served so
days for killing bear out of season.
"White mans law is all wrong"
says Lego. "Deer, bear, and all game
belong to the Indians. They were
given to us by the Great Father.
White man came and took all our
land without paying us for it. Sure
ly we ought to have the bear, squir-
rels, fish, deer and other game to
feed upon when we get hungry"

At the close Of the dinner cigar

A little later the phonograph was

the patriarch was dragged into the

Then quite suddenly one Of the
Gompers boys raped loudly on the
table.

ADVICE TO APPLE GROWERS
Study Of Market Requirements Wsuid
Pay Well, According to Prominent
New York Newspaper.

Apples are cheaper as the season
approaches its end. but the market
is not glutted with greetings, spitz-
enbergs or northern spies, the de-
mand for which always exceeds the
supply, says the New York Com
mercial. These three varieties attain
their highest perfection in north
ern New York, New England and
Canada. The snow apple is seldom
seen, though it is one Of the finest
early winter apples. II is morn sub
ject to scab than the others, but with
care it can be produced free from
blemish. Another desirable variety
is the red astrskhan, . beautiful
summer apple. II eastern pomoio-
gists would specialize in these vsrie-
ties, take care Of their orchards and
pack their fruit properly they would
easily have the first call in city mar
kets where the people pay the price
for fancy grades. spitzenbergs and
greetings bear more regularly year
after year than other varieties. In
New York city the spitzenberg holds
first place for table use and the
greening for cooking. The time TO
judge market requirements 10 in the
spring, when anyone can see what ap-
pies are scarce and what have been
left over. In ell lines Of business
the thing to do is to produce what
the people want.

EMPRESS KEPT SECRET LONG
Eusenle Has Only Now Revealed Facts
Connected with the Result Of the
Frsnce-Prussian War.

Nothing more dramatic has
marked the long exile of the En-
press Eugene than her transmission
30 the French government of the
German letter which decided the
fate of Alsace-Lorraine forty-seven
years ago, the London Daily Chron-
icle states. All these years she has
kept silence. The first news the
world had of any such correspond
ence appeared in the Bernstorff pa
pers a dozen years ago. There the
empress, for whom France had suf-
fered, appeared for the first time as
one who suffered for France. For a
German hand revealed how she threw
away throne rather than cede an
inch of soil. Had she not behaved
with Spartan resolution the world
might have gone very differently for
her. Bismarck and Bazaine were
prepared to ignore the imprisoned
Napoleon III, and to crown her son
Napoleon IV-if she would agree to
the cession of the coveted provinces.
Lord Cowley, our ambassador, knew,
for the negotiations were conducted
at his house, but she kept her secret
from the world for half a century,
the secret of great remuneration.
How many women could so long
have preserved silence on a theme
so honorable to themselvesY

HICKORY NUTS pounLiNa UP.

Even the hickorynut trees Of the
United States are helping to win the
war and are doubling up their pro-
duction by growing two nuts in one
shell, writes Robert Sparks Walter
in the American Forestry Magazine
Of Washington. Why should there
not be such q variety, he asks; and
then he proceeds to tell the instance
where this is happening in the south
eastern part of Tennessee. The chest
nuts economic by housing two, three
and sometimes four nuts in Q single
burr; and the writer finds that the
hickory is learning the lesson and
doing the same thing. Some Of the
branches have not yet completed the
"doubling-up" process.

The soldier picked him up and

He kept The weathercock with him

there was no fighting the Poilu
