Color plays a dominant part in the life and happiness of man. Take it away and the poets tell you that existence becomes drab indeed. The Woman's Guild of the Episcopal church evidently recognized this psy- biological fact, for the bazaar held under the auspices of the Guild Fri day evening was one mass of riotous color, and the spirits of everyone pres- ont reacted to the stimulant and bub- bled over with gayety. An added at mosphere of Christfas cheer was given by the tiny Christmas tree decorations in various parts of the room. The bazaar was financial success as well as a social one, and the various booths were charmingly presided over by the various members of the guild. The punch bowl, too, held an irresistible attraction for many of those present.
 Practically everything salable was sold or auctioned off. George Dooley, with his usual success in such mat ters, acted as auctioneer. The music was furnished by the Jazz Orchestra, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the dancers. The dance numbers were in- terspersed by several songs and dances, charmingly rendered by a number of Cordova's young ladies, un- der direction of Miss Ellen Fraisure.

in the colony, now state. in 1928, pro
Niding for what is deemed the proper
observance of the Sabbath day.
In reviving these laws of vintage
of almost two centuries, the police, act
ing on orders of recent grand jury
last Sunday arrested more than 100
persons on charges of working on the
Sabbath day. Hundreds of others, it
is said, mainly proprietors of drug
stores and other small stores. were ser
we'd with summons to answer to charges
of selling merchandise on Sunday.
Indeed, one man was arrested for
pounding with hammer, making re-
pairs necessary to his home.
Whether such a law, enacted 200
years ago, will hold in the courts, is
moot question. Surely it is not in
keeping with prcsent-day standards, as
dictated by modern business activities,
for it could be construed as forbidding
operations on Sunday of passenger and
freight trains, street cars, the carrying
of the mails, publication of Sunday news
papers and their distribution, in fact
every form of normal activity which
public opinion sanctions as permissible
on the Sabbath day.
Whether the old colonial law of Mary
land, which it is now sought to resur-
rect is not in conflict with that por-
ton of the t. S. constitution which
guarantees religious freedom, is mat
ter that will no doubt be decided by
the courts, if decision in a similar case
has not already been handed down.
After all, manner in which the Sab
bath day is observed is purely mat
ter of the dictates of one S conscience
and any law enacted in regulation of
private enterprise on that day is moth
ing more than an attempt to- curtail
freedom, guaranteed to every
citizen Of the United States of America

an absolutely accurate accounting
through the census, but the material
thus gathered is far more nearly ac-

Mariing Abandoned.
From 1916 to about 1870, New Jersey
farmers made extensive use of their
marls, the owners of mari beds sell
ing small deposits to neishboring
farmers outside the mari belt at from
$25 to $50 a piece according to the
area purchased. Many farmers dts
posed of much, of their farm in this
manner.
The use OF greenland as sources of
potash was practically abandoned at
ter the Civil war, due to the scarcity
and increased expense of labor. and
because of widespread commercial
fertilizer propaganda which urgd
farmers to buy and apply such forms
OF plant food. The popularity OF the
commercial fertilizers gradually back
ed the use of maris off the agricul-
tural map in New Jersey. Delaware
and Maryland. and sidetracked this
rational and economical method of
securing this domestic potash supply
The limiting factor which is likely
to govern the use OF these cheap forms
of potash is the hauling distance from
the beds to the farms where it Is to
be used At the present time it APP
pears that there is good opportunity
for farmers whose land needs potash
and whose places are not more than
five or six miles from a mari deposit
TO work their teams in hauling the
material during the idle seasons OF the
year.

The farther south the deposits extend

higher in calcium content they are.
Technically speaking. the beds are
called greensands where they are rel
