CROW IS ENEMY OF FARMER
Under Modern Conditions There Seems
Little Reason for the Birds Con.
tjnued Existence.

The record of the crow is like Its
coat-about as black as black can be
n writer in Detroit Free Press says.
II may be that in the great plan or
nature, some time in the past. the
crow served a useful purpose-like-
wise the hawk and the buzzard. Take
the buzzard. for example. Once pro-
tected by human laws everywhere be-
cause useful for removing carrion,
the stencil of which offended the nos
trils of all animal life, 1t is now out
lawed, because man realizes that it Is
better to burn or bury the dead-leav-
ing no excuse for the existence of the
disease-carrying buzzard. So. in the
beginning, the mission OF the crow, we
may conjecture, was to preserve some
equilibrium, some balance in the econ
omy of nature. II may be he was
placed here to hold I'm check the weed
seed and grain eating birds, because
weeds were a factor in the past In
covering the waste places of the earth
and making them fertile. However
that may have been, there seems to be
no excuse for his existence now since
man, the agriculturist, seeds the
waste places to useful grains and
grasses and needs the help of the in
se~ctiverous birds.

WORLDS FIRST STEAM FERRY
Was Established by John Stevens In
1911. Running Between Hoboken
and New York.

The first ferry In the world was
established In 1911 by John Stevens be-
tween Hoboken and New York. TAX
ing up the study of steam in 1889, 1t
IL recorded. he TOOK out patents on ma
rlne engines three years later, and
in 1913 completed his first boat, sue
cessfully operating ii on the Hudson
river. In 1904 a second boat was
equipped with two screws, and the
style of propeller designed by him was
for many years preferred above later
inventions. Though this was the first
application of steam TO the screw-pro-
peller, yet this design was the identi-
cal short. fourthreaded screw used
today. Ii Is remarkable that this form
of propulsion was not practically intro
duced until 1897. His original steam
boat also contained the first condens-
ing double-acting engine ever made In
America, and a multi-tubular boiler.
In 1907 he built the s~idewheel steam
boat Phoenix. which was a few days
behind Fulton's vessel In attaining the
legal speed. and was thus shut out
from the Hudson river; but he boldly
steamed her around 70 the Delaware
by sea, being the first to navigate
the ocean with the new motive power.

Her resolution extended to the spend

and doctors bills. If she ba%nkrupted
Bayard 1t would be with the tenderest
motives.
Five times she wen to the Operat-

into etherland, knowing what after
anguishes waited her, what retching
nud burning and bleeding. She braved
death again and again. took long
chances with covering bravado. And
all for Bayard's sake.
One morning when Bayard reached
his Office after n narrowing all-night
vigil at Leila's side ne was just falling
asleep over the first mail when his
telephone snarled. lie reached for it
with alarm. A voice doomed In his
ear:

Then n growl replaced the boom. II

Bayard pondered. What new per

went Ia the office. he bought an eve

Colonel Marchmont squirmed. but

squirmed. Wetherell was avenged
when his successor signed new con-

"MartYrs.~

The word martyr" has various
meanings. Specifically, it is still con-
fined to those who give their lives for
their religious convictions. The Holy
Innocents" are a notable example of in
voluntary martyrdom. The word mar
tyr should not be applied to a
person who loses mere property, but is
used to persons who have died while
striving to attain their object. The
dictionary gives as the primary defini-
ton of ''martyr"-"One who submits
to death rather than forswear his re
ligion: specif.. n of the early Chris
tians who suffered death for their re-
ligion." In general, the word is used
also to denote one who sacrifices him.

pursuit of wealth.

individual in the best possible form.
and to keep 1t {. q
Weeks or even months in advance of
the fair the boy must start getting his
calf or pig tame. At a particular time
it may be necessary to pare the pigs
~tOenails so that he will stand up
straight without too much bend at the
pasterns. But he must be careful not
to pare them too close. A limping pig
is not likely to be a prize winner. Sew
eral weeks before the fair he should
trim the hair out of the pigs ears. be-
ing careful to do it In such a way that
the ears will not be irregular in out
line. He should provide a clean wal
low for the pig to keep the hair and
skin soft and pliable-and he ought
to know the trick of the trade that a
little oil On the surface of the water
helps a great deal; also that a little
linseed meal, properly fed to the pig,
puts a peculiar gloss on the hair.
He must remember to have the right
kind of crate ready in plenty of time.
Many boys have failed to get their
pigs to the fair because, when the time
came to ship. there was no crate. The
department has special sets of specif-
cations for pig crates, calf crates and
others. A very important thing TO re-
member in connection with the crate
is that the pig grows at a pretty rapid
clip. The crate must be built big
enough for the pig, not when the crate
Is made but allowing for growth be-
tween then and fair time. And it
must not be big enough to permit the
pig to urn around. The boy must re-
member that the pig should not be fed
just before shipping. No matter how
much the little rascal cries for corn
he must not be INDUCED. If he is fed
he is very likely to get sick on the
train and go through the whole fair
in a droopy, drOwsy, unprizelike-look-
ing way.
Prizes Are Not All.
These are just a few Of the things
that must be remembered In preparing
a pig for the fair. And there are
equally many with regard to the calf.
or the dairy cow, or the poultry, or
any Of the things, practically, that the
boy or girl, man or woman wants to
exhibit at the fair.
Even with all the care possible the
animal or other product may not be a
prize winner. There can't be prizes
for every exhibitor. The fair that tries
to arrange things so that everybody
can get a prize does nOt amount to
much usually. 1t does not mean any
thing to vii a prize when you are h
only exhibitor In your class. And, as
the experts In the department Of agri-
culture point out, the prize is not the
main thing er all. To be sure the
boys and 81. , and men and women
who get things ready for the fair are
contributing to an education o the
public-but the main thing for them
is the education they get themselves.

Over KeypOTt
(By H. 8. Correspondent

The p. A. H. s. girls won their
fifth straight yesterday when they de-
feated the Keyport high school quin-
tet 32-S on the local court. Prior to
this game Amboy had defeated Mata-
wan, Keyport, Red Ban and North
Plainfield. This completes the girls
schedule for this season.
The first half started with Ada We'll
entz and Anna Handerhan, forwards,
Ethel David, center, Cora Jensen, side
center, Elizabeth Dolan and Lillian
Wiener guards. This same V play

in this half was even throughout the
half time whistle found the score S-S.
The Reporters excelled in pass work
in this part of the game but could
not make their shots count while the
local five did not exhibit their usual
fine passing. For Amboy, Ada VIII
entz and AnnaHanderhan were the
point getters, each scoring four points.
A. Wilentz shooting one basket and
two from the gratis line, whereas A
Handerhan scored twice from the
court. T. Holmes scored six of her
teams eight points in this half for
Keyport, shooting three field goals.

The P. A. team started the second
half with five new players In the line
up, Ethel David being the only player
to stay in the last half. Clara Ger
lufson and Capt. Macan replaced Ada
Wilentz and Anna Handerhan at the
forward stations, Kathryn Henry
substituting for Cora Jensen at side
center and Frances Hance and Eta
Spillen taking the place of Elizabeth
Dolan and Lillian Wiener at the
guarding posts. The locals ran away
from the visiting five in this half run

ents did not secur any. Keyports
lineup was also changed, J. Jiffe in
stead of Holmes at forward and G
Jaffe replacing E. Everdad at the
guarding station. The shooting and
password of the local five was the fea-
ture of the half. Capt. Macan was the
individual star for this half, getting
eighteen of her teams twenty-five
points. Clara Gerlufson shot thre'
field goals In this half.

POINT FIVE BRINGS GOOD
SEASON ON COURT To CLOSE

The last Of the post-season games
of the DUPONT Y. NJ. c. A. basketball
team mas been played, marking the
close of a successful year on the
court. The powder men met some of
the best combinations of dribblers in
this vicinity and in most cases came
out on top. The Knights OF st. Peter

ayers Decide on Return Game
for Next Week

Although there is much talk of an
other game between the Amboy ALI
Stars and the Y. NJ. II. A. basketball
teams, there has been no actual
agreement between the managers of
both teams that such a game will be
played. The Y. NJ. H.. A are eager
for a return match as they are on-
fdent that they will ven up the
series should they meet the All-Star
aggregation again, while the All-Stars
are equally as eager for a game in
order to prove conclusively that they
have the superior quintet. The only
barrier between this game is the de-
mand of the All-Star management
and the non-acceptance of this by the
Y. NJ. II. A. management
The point on which the 7. nj. III.
A. base their defeat last Thursday
night Is upon the name in which
Nat Holman withdrew from the floor
after his team had called time out
three times and upon another such
delaying of the game would have
committed a foul. The score at this
period of the game was tied and the
long argument gave Holman the
necessary rest which enabled him to
come back into the game so strongly
when the association team agreed to
play without his rule in force rather
than have a repetition of the old
Riverside-St. Peter situation as arose
here q number of years age over the
city championship.
The All-Stars will use the same
