Legislative Committee

~ LTCC5
TRENTON, Jan. 2S-The war
changed may educational viewpoints
and for that reason 1t would be I'M
wise and premature to submit a COM
plete revisitn of the state school laws,
the Grill committee on education, ap-
pointed by the last legislature to sug-
gest improvements in the state school
system, declared in it's report submit
ted today to the legislature.
Further study is necessary, the re-

Immediately legislature was recon-
mended on the following subject:
AmericaniZation of the schools. re-
education and retaining of MANNED
soldiers and sailors ard workers at
industries not otherwise provided for
by federal legislation, health, trans
portation of pupils, state administra-
ton of schools, educational supervi-
sion of Fairgrounds, membership of
school boards. adequate compensation
for helping teachers and a yearly
school censor.
The necessity was urged of an an
nual joint legislative committee on
education to cooperate with the state
board of education to make a report
of the opening of the subsequent ses-
sion of the legislature.
The committee remarked that while
many suggestions for lettering the
schools were submitted, it was found
that the system of public schools in
New. Jersey was generally admired
throughout the educational world.

Letters From
Local Soldiers
letter From Isadore BAIT.

Dear PARENTS:
/ will now tell you of my trip from
Camp Dix to France. 1 left camp on
August %, at about 6 in the evening
and went through Amboy at 0 o'clock.
We stopped off in Jersey CITY for an
hour and / thought we were going to
leave from Hobokcn, instead, we rode
all night through New York state and
stopped at Plattsburg, where we re-
NAMED for a few hours and paraded
around the town. The people treated
us in fine shape. giving US all kinds of
fruit, sandwiches n other good
things (the last 1 have had since.)
We again boarded the train and were
riding along Lake Champlain till we
came to the Canadian border, and H.
nally reached Montreal where we got
aboard ship and sailed the next norm
ing.
We sailed on the ST. Lawrence river
for two days and IT certainly was
beautiful; we passed Quebec at night
and ven under one of the most ia
nous bridges in the world.
About two days later we got i'm n
storm which lasted several days. The
sea was rough and it tossed the o.
around like a cork. After sailing for
sixteen days we finally landed at
Southampton. England. 1t seemed so
funny over here, everything they do in
England Is nearly the exact opposite
TO the way i'm America. Their trolleys
and automobiles all go on h left
side of the street; even the fiv-
YER is right hand drive instead of left.
After we had taken In the sights for
a few days. we went on board another
and sailed across the channel,

FARM AND STOCK

Vic Pile, the Poland China hog man
living near Harmed reports that he
lost a fine months old Poland China
boar recently valued at $3.50. This
boar got over heated in fight with
his $500 boar that heads his herd and
died from the effects of it. He weigh
ed $50 pounds.
Mr.. Pile sold Tice Miller a boar
pig for 500 and one to Prof. Bowlds
for $40.
The splendid rains of the past few
days has enabled the farmers to fin
ish planting tobacco. The crop will
nearly be 100 per cent of last years
crop.
E. B. Oglesby shipped fine bunch
of hogs TO Louisville, last week.
J. NJ Howard has added thorough
bred Shorthorn cows, and calves to
his heard at a cost of from $3.50 to
$3.50 per head. W. r. Norman
& Son bought at the same sale 10
head at the same figures. These
thorough bred dealers are up-to-date
in their business and are building up
a fine trade.
w. X. Norman & Son sold ]. N.

We never saw crops in Breckin-
ridge county looking better. They
are clean, growing and fine to look

ever raised in the county has just
been harvested and the yield promis-

matter with Breckenridge county. 1t
is coming to the front fast. 1t has
already plenty of money and will
have more when the present crop is
harvested.

ship of Smoke" by Alan H. Temple,
published in this issue of The Breck-

we agree with him in what he says
on the use of tobacco. Its social
value, its eontentment, its peace. and
the fellowship it brings to our souls.

EMPLOYEES MUST
BE VERY THRIFTY
Big Shoe Manufacturer Offers
Stock In Company. Allows
Payment on Installments.

The head of one of the biggest and
successful shoe manufacturing COM
panies in St. Louis, w. F. McElroy,
of the McElroy-Sloan Company, in
a lengthy interview in a recent num-
Der of the Republic, talks interesting
ly on the relation of the employer to
the employee.
Thrift is Encouraged" is one OF
the topics he discussed. The article
says: "The Company encourages
thrift among its employees, and has
adopted system of selling stock to
such of the clerical force and foremen
and superintendent in the factories
as desire to buy it. The stock is
bought on the market by the Com
pany, and is sold to the employees on
the installment plan. The employee
who purchases stock under this plan
begins Immediately to receive the
dividends on the stock, and these div
idends may be applied toward the
payment for the stock. With small
additional payments at regular inter-
walls, the employee soon is absolute
owner of the stock, and thus shares in
the management to the extent of the
par value of his or her stock"
The McElroy plan is splendid. But
only 900 persons are employed in
this plant, and participation is con-
fined to that number But every man
has an opportunity to become a
stock holder, with assurance of a
fair dividend, in the greatest going

Some of the piles in use in Amstef,

old. That part which is no. in the
ground in salt water is often bored
by pile worm near the surface, but
Is preserved by driving in nails with
very large heads, so as to give the

then transformed by the water into q

from the pile worm. This process
