Reducing Marketing Cost BY Advertising.


There is hardly farmer who cannot do adver-
tising to advantage One Of the greatest of farm
problems is that of selling what is grown. man
may grow big crop but unless he can dispose of it
at profit, he would be better off to have grown no
crop at all.
Advertising may be used to advantage in selling
crops when they so large that they will not be
taken by local demands This is true of almost any
farm products-potatoes apples live stock poultry,
syrup and hundreds of other things
The kind of publication to advertise in depends on
conditions If a farmer has only small amount of
product dispose Of he should confne his advers-
ing to local newspapers If he has very much, how
ever he will have to enlarge his advertising cam
paign to other publications.-The Progressive

ment found by the December term

of II or IS feet. This occurred be-
tween - and l o'clock in the morning.

SALVATION ARMY TO
RAISE $4,000 IN N. j.,
Ex-GOv. Stokes HEAD

Organization of the Salvation Army's
Home Service Fund campaign for New
Jersey is progressing very favorably
under the able direction of former
Governor Edward C. Stokes, state
chairman. jerseys quota of the $13,-
100000 to be raised in the country is
S750,000.
One of the best omens of success
for the campaign in the state is the
fact that Mr.. Stokes has enlisted for
the drive the active cooperation of
some of New jerseys leading Cit
zens. Among the state vice-presidents
are former u. S. Senator David Baird
of Camden, Vice Chancellor Vivian NJ
Lewis of Paterson, Judge William H.
Speer of Jersey City, Burdette G.
Lewis of Trenton, State Commissioner
of Institutions and Agencies; Colonel
Lewis S. Thompson of Red Bank, Jo-
seph NJ Byrne of Newark, Harry W.
Leeds of Atlantic City and Mrs. James
F. Fielder of Jersey City, wife of a
former Governor of New Jersey.
Among those who have accepted
county chairmanships are State Comp
troller Newton A. X. Bugbee of Mercer
county, Judge William H. Jeffrey of
Ocean county, Ralph n. Kellam of
Camden county, Republican floor lead
er in the last House of Assembly, and
f. A. Gentieu of Salem county, head
of the big DUPONT plant at PENIS
Grove.
Mr. Stokes has organized a soldiers
and sailors division, which he has
placed in charge of Colonel David a
Kraker, ranking officer of the Medical
Reserve Corps in New Jersey, and a
school division, headed by Supervisor
Charles A. MacCall of the Newark
public schools. 1t is anticipated that
some of the most effective work of
the campaign will be done by the
children and by the men who in serv-
ice overseas have been in personal
contacs with the Salvation Army work
ers there.

Grayson of Warren Point, died at II 80
o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the
Barnert Hospital, Paterson, says the
Record, as the result of having been
bitten by a jealous bulldog. The child
was conscious until his death, but he
suffered much without complaint. He
had been a patient in the hospital for
the last week and made himself a
great favorite with the nurses who
cared for him by his pleasant DISPOSE
ton.
Mrs. GraysOn took the child from
an Orphanage in Jersey City The boy
became the pet of the household, re-
ceiving more attention than the dog.
The dog, which had formerly held that
position, took dislike to and sudden
ly attacked John and tore his scalp in
serious manner before aid could be
given.
The dog was shot and the head sent
to the state department of health at
Trenton to see if it had suffered from
rabies. The authorities of the state
institution stated that the dogs condi-
ton had been found to be normal The
boy was buried Thursday.

RUSTIC WALK BRIDGE
RESTORED BY FINE
NEW CLEAR PINE WORK

The rustic walk bridge just below
the grand stairway leading to the
Edgewater ferry from Palisade has at
last been rebuilt by the Amusement
Park management. 1t will be recalled
that last year the former bridge was
removed in making some repairs to
the wrought iron water piping lead
ing from the Hudson river to the big
swimming pool in the park. The
bridge was replaced by very narrow
and unsightly temporary structure and
caused much unfavorable comment
The new bridge is u very substantial
and attractive structure. 1t is as wide
as the walkway, and is built of clear
Carolina pine. Manager Schenek is
to be congratulated as well as thank
ed by the walking public that so much
likes the hike to and from the ferry
daily. Also, the huge summer crowds
that walk up and down the Palisades
will be very greatly convenienced.

The art department of the New Jer-

Clubs held its last meeting for the sea-
son at the Metropolitan Museum of
Art, New York city.
Most of the clubs of the northern
part of the state were represented.
About 100 clubwomen were present.
An illustrated lecture on american
Painting" was given by Miss Elizabeth
Abbott. Miss Abbott said in part
English tradition was strongly felt in
American art in the Colonial period.
Benjamin West, one of our early paint
ers was president of the Royal Acade-
my of England In the early days
landscape painters were in the ma
jOrity The first paintings were more
like pictures illustrating travel When
reality of detail is the main interest in
a picture it generally lacks the highest
qualities of art From the time of the
Civil War through the seventies, art
lists went to Paris, Munich and Italian
schools for their training These art
lists, returning, made great change in
American art"
Beautiful pictures We're shown of In
ness, Hunt, LaFarge, Whistler, Wins
low, Homer, Sargent, Aikens, Thayer,
Chase and others. Miss Abbott gave a
good description of the paintings of
these artists.
The art conference was the second
of the kind held by the state art de-
partment of the New Jersey clubs and
was arranged by the chairman, Mrs. l.
w. Sylvester 1t will in all probability
be repeated in the near future.

the $3.50 Club that has been organized
in Palisade by Rev. H. p. Guhse, pas
tor of the Union Church, came off last
Saturday night and was a brilliant So
cial and financial success. There were
more than $50 people out, largely chill

folk, and old and young alike enjoyed
the evening immensely
The handsome Guhse home was
thrown open on all floors, and the lit
tie ones disported themselves to their
hearts content The affair was COM
plete in all details to represent and
carry out a children's fair of the old
type In the sky parlor, large ROOM
was what they called a movie show,
but which was really a lantern slide
exhibit, with some far western pic
lures loaned by Mr.. Goodman for this
occasion and for which an admission
of 10 cents was charged. There were
several rounds of this show, and quite
a lot of ready cash was realized from
it. In another room on this floor was
a comet, viewed through small tele-
scope. The illusion was made through
ii match held at the large end of the
telescope, which, Earl Pinard said, was
the flash of the comet, but as it only
cost nickel and was real fun and a

spare change and let it go at that.
The big attraction, however, was the
feed table. There were some of the
best things to eat one ever saw. Ice
cream and all kinds of cake We're sold
at 10 cents the order, and Mrs. Guhse

hands full handing out things, and
they were aplenty. On the dining

ice cream was served, and the way it
went off beat the proverbial hot cakes
