DUMB ANIMALS

I contemplate the poor dumb crea-
lures, whose Hives are shy of pleasant
features. They are not learned, they
are not clever; they eat and drink
and sleep forever, and have no sane
and high ambition to reach a loftier
condition. Their hopeless state I can't
help seeing; I'm glad l am a human
being. I'm glad 1 am a human crit
ter, though life is often hard and
bitter, though gladness wanes and
sorrow wakes, and l am stuck for
income taxes. Though troubles come
and hopes are phoney, I'd hate to be
a Shetland pony. Though L am deaf
and growing deafer, I'd hate to be a
Hereford heifer. And though a
gloomy weird I'm directing. I'm glad
LAM a human being. We long for
happiness unbroken; that sort OF
wish is often spoken; but IL life
handed us no bitters, we'd be just
like the poor dumb critters, which
have no dreams of high e~ndeavor,
but eat and sleep and drink forever.
I have my cares, I'm doubling, fear
ing, I'm stung by merchants prof
teering; and though from griefs I'm
always fleeing, I'm glad l am a
human being.

PROBLEM TO BE SOL WE'D

Now, before the state had gone too deeply into the mat
ter of constructing highways, care should be taken that the
plans of the highway department are adequate for the future as
we'll as for the present. With the millions of dollars of the
peoples money to be spent it ought not to be SO expended that
it will be considered practically wasted within a few years.
We have in mind the enormous increase in the use of au-
tomobile trucks and the great congestion there is on the main
location. being situated between two of the greatest cities in
the country and possessing a matchess sea coast as well as
7nountains and lakes that draw thousands of pleasure seekers
from these great centers of population. All this added to the
crowded condition of our roads.
But it is the trucks that we have in mind most. They are
not only becoming more numerous, but they are being built
larger and now some of them haul trailer behind them. FIRE.
quently they travel in trains Of two and three, one behind the
other, often running so close together that a touring car COM
ing up from behind has much difficulty in passing, particularly
as the trucks hug to the middle of the road and make so much
noise that they cannot hear the horn. With numerous cars
coming in the opposite direction, it is a risk, to say the least,
to attempt to pass them.
The time is at hand when special consideration must be
given these trucks. That they have come to stay there is no
doubt. They are going to increase in number every year.
The best solution seems to be a separate roadway main
tanned especially for trucks and they might be taxed for the
upkeep of that road.

manent roads, therefore, something should be done to meet
expense, but as the condition is here it has got to be met.

MUST GROW TOGETHER

Even the most bitter opponent Of the proposed union of
Woodbridge and Perth Amboy under one government will ad-
nit that it will be many years before the interior part OF the
township is thoroughly developed. The township may grow all
around the edges and in the towns of Woodbridge, Sewaren,
Fords and Keasbey and in that section Immediately across the
border from Perth Amboy, but when it comes to getting out
around Iselin and Colonia with all the farm land between those
outlyingg districts and Woodbridge proper, it will be many
a year before values increase to any extent.
But suppose Woodbridge and Perth Amboy should unite.
The first step after the merger is completed would be to en-
ploy an expert in city planning and have him do for Perth AM
boy what experts in that line have done and are doing for the
city of Cleveland, Ohio. Many square miles of territory sur
rounding Cleveland are being laid out into handsome boule-
wards, broad avenues and beautiful parks. These boulevards
lead directly into the heart of the city; they are being lined with
shade trees and quick street transportation is being provided,
Naturally, handsome residences are being erected along these
boulevards and avenues and the valuations are going up by
leaps and bounds.
We are fully aware that Perth Amboy is not in the same
class with Cleveland and cannot be expected to do things on
the scale that Cleveland is doing them, but unless we make a
start we will never be as big as Cleveland now is, yet, with the
proper kind Of enterprise and development Perth Amboy ought
20 become one of the most important cities in the country. We
have all the natural advantages here, all that we need is the
proper spirit and the optimism to go ahead.
What is being done for miles around Cleveland would, in
q very few years, be done all around Perth Amboy, and Wood
bridge farm land would be transformed into a handsome res
idential section with spacious parks and other attractive feat
ures. Woodbridge alone would never be able to swing such a
development, but by uniting with Perth Amboy the project is
assured.
wrapped up in the amalgamation. Perth Amboy can never ex-
pand as she should without the township to grow in and the
township will never be able TO develop as she should without
becoming a part of the greater city.

BY REV. CHARLES STEELE


The Bible is a many-sided book,
not only in its character, but in its
| influence.
Here are some of the things it
does:N
1t Produces Conviction OF Sin
1t does this by revealing our true
natures. 1t is like a looking glass. IL
you want to know what our heart
is like, read the Bible. You'll recog-
terizations. 1t won't always be fat
tering to you, but 1t will always be
truthful.
1t Has Power 10 Save the Soul
Receive with meekness the en-
grated word, which Is able to save
your SOUL" exhorted James in his
epistle.
The holy Scripture is liable to make
thee wise unto salvation" wrote
Paul to Timothy.
1t isn't merely reading the Bible
that saves a man-it's doing what it
commands.
1t Produces Faith
It isn't easy to have faith" The
natural thing is to doubt. That's
why even a little faith carries us SO
far along.
To tell a man to ''believe' may
sometimes be like telling him to fly.
He can't do it without some help
from outside himself.
Faith cometh by hearing. and
hearing by the word of God" we read
in Romans.
And in closing his gospsl. John
said that it was written that men
might believe, and that. believing,
they might have life.
If you want to increase your faith
study the Bible.
tt Promotes Growth
You cannot live physically unless
you eat food, no more IA you grow
spiritually unless you feed upon the
word of God.
There's great variety in its nutri-
tive qualities. At every stage of
growth. from the time of birth to
the maturity of the full-grown man,
it furnishes just the right kind OF
food.
The Bible has been compared 20
milk, bread, strong meat and money.
1t Furnishes Wisdom
THE entrance of thy word giveth
light: it giveth understanding unto
the simple" said the psalmist.
The man who studies the Bible as
much as he might study all other
books, would have more real wisdom
than if he studied all other books
and left out the Bible.
1t Protects Us Against Sin
'-Thy word have 1 hid in mine
heart, that I might not sin against
thee" wrote David.
If he had merely stored it in his
mind he might have forgotten it.
But he made it part of his inner
most life-he stored it away in his
heart.
Some of us store it away on a dusty
shelf.
