Ripping RHYMES
LAW AND ORDER.
BY W. IT MASON

Give an issue sounding title, and
1t may cut grass enough; but the
only one that's vital is this law
and order stuff. Oh, 1 hear the
statesmen chatter of small things
and call them great, but such
trifles do not matter when the
traitors boldly trait; when they
hurl a wild defiance, waving flags
and beating drums, and for action
have reliance on the homicidal
buns. All the forces of the alley,
of the kennel and the stew, have
united in a rally, ~anarchistic things
to do. They have long since cross
ed the border of high treason, and
they swarm, crying. Down with
Law and and It's time
for a reform. We must crush the
deadly adder, see It's venom does
not last, or our future will be sad
der than Gomorrah's dismal past.
We must stop the maudlin
pleasures of the treason spouting
jay, and refined and gentle meas
ures are but kindness thrown
away. We can't stop the screech-
Ing vandal with a tap upon the
wrist; all such cattle we must
handle with a scourge of wire, /
wist. Still W. argue, when we'd
ortn't, when stern weapons we
should draw: for the one thing
that's important Is the old time
reign of law.

THE TIME.

While the final judgment must be
withheld until a man Is proven guilty,
the events of the last few days shows
c~onvincingly that there Is something
radically wrong with the police de-
partment. 1t is all well enough for
the authorities to express surprise and
condemn the public for not telling
them what is going on, but the gen
eral opinion is that the authorities
ought to know what is going on. AS
far as the private citizen is concerned,
it Is one thing to be convinced Of
something yourself and quite another
thing to be able to produce such wit
nesses and evidence that will satisfy
prejudiced officials. 1t is not until
such a bombshell as was dropped Sat
urday night falls that anything Is ac-
complished.
1t Is not the publit's business TO be
running to the mayor or the chairman
of the police committee, or the chief
of police, or whoever else may claim
to be al the head Of the police depart
ment. with tales about the policemen
all the time. Certainly the officials
must hear what nearly every other
citizen hears and then if instead of rid
iculing the rumor an investigation Is
made, perhaps such humiliating af-
fairs as happened Friday night would
not occur.
There is room for a big improve
pent in the police department. 1t is
sadly In need of a thorough reorganl-
cation. A. shake-up such as it has
never had before would do a world of
good. The police department is cost
ing the taxpayers a lot of money and
1t is going to cost a great deal more
when the new men are put IN and the
ally, the people expect the best police
force possible. thought to be one of
the best in the state. New blood, new
methods, new ideas, in short, a COM
plete r~etuvenatIon of the department is
the need at the present time.
There are plenty of good men wear
ing the p~oliceman's uniform in Perth
Amboy. But mere privates in the ranks
cannot be held responsible for the
management. They have to obey or
ders. These men ought to be given a
chance and in being given a chance
they ought to receive the pay that their
duties warrant. This seems to be the
opinion of the people Judging from the
result of the election last month.
The latest startling events in the po-
lice department will not have accom-
plished the desired results unless 1t
brings about a complete ~reorganiza-
ton and undermining of the entire de-
partment. When hat is done Perth
Amboy will not begrudge the full
amount of increase voted for the men
at the last election. 1t remains to be
seen whether we have men in Office
big enough to take the bull by the
horns and do what nearly everybody
believes ought to be done. Now Is the
time, If ever.

1t will not be long before the owner
of common mongrel flock will apollo
gize for its existence. This is the opin-
ion of the poultry-eXtension worker OF
the United States department of agri-
culture who is leader in the cam
paign for more and better poultry on
farms in south and southwestern Ar
kansas. In many parts of Arkansas
the importance of better poultry and
more efficient management is being
recognized by progressive business
men, commercial organizations, bank
ers and others and they are active in
their moral and financial support In
cooperating with the government ana
state extension forces in their efforts
10 convince the farmer that standard
bred poultry properly managed is q
paying industry. and that the old
barnyard mongrel hen must get out
of the way for STANDARDIZED uniform
flocks.

KEEPING POULTRY IN TOWNS

FIocks of Hens.

prepared by the United States Depart

When conditions render it feasible
small hocks of poultry should be kept
by families in villages, towns and es-
pecially in the suburbs of large cities.
The need for this extension of poultry
raising is particularly great where con-
sumption exceeds production, as in the
northeastern states. Through utiliza-
ton of table waste, scraps and other
refuse as poultry feed much whole
some food in the form of eggs and
poultry for home use may be produced
at relatively low cost.

yards. Considerable green feed can be
grown incidentally in keeping these
yards fresh and in good condition.
The use of mammoth incubators ms
terially cuts down the labor necessary
in Matching large numbers of chickens,
and a brooding system of stove brood
ing houses, or q small hot-water pipe
system makes an economical brOoding
equipment and one which can be con-
Quoted successfully with a minimum
amount of labor. The breeding stock
under these conditions should be kept
in colony houses scattered over con
siderable area, and if possible allowed
free range using their eggs for match
ing during the breeding season and
keeping from so to 100 hens in each
house.
On the average general farm the
poultry does not receive sufficient care
to produce the best results, but by
better arrangement Of buildings and
better methods the same amount OF
poultry could be kept with the labor
now being used and better results oh
tained, while in many cases the size
of the flocks could be increased and
greater profits realized for the labor
required.
On commercial poultry farms care
full planning of equipment will greatly
reduce labor, but a very intensive
| system is detrimental to profitable re-
suits with poultry. The danger is
often too great intensification, which
while temporarily reducing labor does
not provide conditions under which
poultry can be reproduced successfully
with good results.
