Teachers Have a
"Hearty" Evening

A very charming party was given
on Lincoln's Birthday, the hostess be-
ing Miss Alderman, one of the teach
ers in Cliffside Park School No. 3.
The guests were the teachers in
Cliffside Schools Nos. l and and the
place was. the large and hospitable old
home of the Ackermans in Hillsdale,
NM.
The guests were invited fri until
8, and every minute was filled with
enjoyment from the time they were
welcomed by Miss Alderman and her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Alderman, in
most cordial style.
The first diversion was the game of
hearts, played at different tables, pro-
gressively, and in this the prize,
large box of note paper, was won by
Miss Erb
Refreshments were then served, such
as delicious homemade salads, cake
sandwiches and tea as teachers away
from home seldom have an Opportuni-
to enjoy.
After that each guest was given pa
per, scissors and glue and told to
make valentines, for this was real
Valentine party, and the pretty results
turned out with such simple tools
showed surprising amount of in
genuity and taste, and in this the one
which gained the most votes was that
manufactured by Mrs. McLachlan,
who was rewarded with a large sachet
for her artistic work.
In the next game, one in which a
row of hearts, decreasing in size, were
the targets of a ball in the hands of
each fair contestant, the score of Miss
Helen Donaldson was the highest,
which consequently brought her fine
box of note paper.
The group had a merry time having
their fortunes told by Mrs. McCul-
loch, the talented teacher of music in
the schools, who has won quite a repu-
tation for this popular diversion of
prediction.
Besides the prizes each guest was
basket as favors, filled with candy
hearts.
1t was very 'hearty" affair alto
gether, for the guests received
hearty welcome, which made them
feel light hearted and happy, and
every one enjoyed the beautifully
planned party most heartily and will
gratefully remember the delightful
afternoon for a long while.
The merry group included Mrs. J.
Coulter, principal of School No. 3, and
Miss Warner, principal of School No.
l, Cliffside; Miss Erb, Miss Flanagan,
Miss Lucy Madden, Miss Meier, Miss
Downing, Miss Ball, Miss Mccall, Miss
Helen Flood Miss Helen Donaldson,
Mrs Jones, Mrs. McLachlan, Mrs. Nc
Culloch, Mrs. Thornley, and Miss Ack-
erman, all in the Cliffside Park facul-
ty, and Miss Blauvelt, who was
teacher there two years ago and who
is now in school near Hillsdale.

Good Work.

We are progressing. The commits
sion to investigate the tax situation
ton of all personal property taxes.
This is the first step towards the sim
gle tax, and is the first part of the
program. 1t sounds good. 1t shows
that these investigators are honest and
that they have really investigated with
a view to the public good. 1t is the
view all honest men must come to that
study the tax question. When we have
got as far as this we will then take
up the question of abolishing taxes on
houses and other forms of improve
ments. Then the single tax will be

Public VS.. Private Operation.

The Canadian government and the
United States are being urged to CO.
operate in the construction of canal
for seagoing vessels from the st. Law
renee to the Great Lakes, thus giving
Chicago, Buffalo and other great cities
straight highway to the sea. Vast
electrical energy will be developed
by this enterprise, which the Cana
dams want to be owned as a public
utility, but which we want to be turn
ed over to private corporations for
their benefit. If the United States will
collect the rental value from them in
stead of taxes, I don't see why the
corporations or individuals should not
be allowed to proceed without him
drance.

EDISoN'S CROWN.

Thomas A. Edison had the happiness
recently, and the occasion was made
one of great interest and compliment
to the great genius and electrical in
ventor. Mr.. Edison long ago solved
the meaning of happiness in work.
The days We're never long enough for
him, and, having imagination and the
vision to see what might be accom-
plished by busy life, he has led the
world in his amazing lines of inven-
ton, research and discovery. After
with work. 1t is the open sesame to
the gates of pure indebted happiness.
And, indeed, Edison has not served
himself as much as he has served the
world. Had he chosen to make riches
his goal he might by this time have
been more famously well off in worldly
goods than all the Rockefellers, As
tors, Vanderbilts or banks of the
world perhaps. His inventions have
been always of kind benefiting others
most. But his one great benefaction
has been to serve others. His name
may not go down to history as the
greatest genius we have had, but GER
tainly no man has given the world
more values in the unitarian things
of daily necessity than Thomas Alva
Edison. And, perhaps, that is this
mans greatest crown.

HITTING AT FORT LEE

A nearby newspaper neighbor has
recently seen fit to make a little sally
at the expense of the good people OF
Fort Lee. 1t came about in connection
with the recent dramatic school meet
ing in Fort Lee when a speaker saw
the opportunity to oppose the School
Board regarding the matter of location
for a new high school building and did
not hesitate to make the sort of APP
peal that stirred up prejudice against
the board.
The incident of itself was unimpor-

and appealingly in opposition to a
new high school building in Fort Lee
that zone woman went almost into

ly an illustration of the influence of
victory upon dwarfed intellect, es-
pecially of the Fort Lee type. The

Growth of Cremation Idea.

Available statistics compiled less
than a. decade ago show that in the
United States the total number of ere.
nations had arisen to over 10000 dis.
tributed among 80 crematories. The
growth of cremation has been very
rapid on the Pacific coast. In 1918
contract was let by the government
for the erection of crematory in the
canal zone.

FARM WORK.
FEDERAL AGRICULTURE
DEPARTMENT TO ASSIST
Surveys Completed Last Year in
Thirty-three counties and Entire
State to EIe Covered Before Cam
paign Closes Counties Selected
According to Order of Petitions.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames. May 17.-Soil surveys will
be made in seven Iowa counties this
summer to determine and locate ac-
curately the soil types and to give a
foundation for working out valuable
agricultural information for farm
ers and land owners. They are Boone
Dallas. Dickefson. Dubuque. Emmett,
Hardin and Mills counties.
This work is done under the sup
ervision Of the Iowa agricultural ex-
pertinent station of Iowa State COL
lege in cooperation with the bur-
eau of soils or the United States de-
partment OF agriculture and will
commence as soon as conditions are
suitable in the field.
Last year surveys in thirty three
counties had been completed. or a
third of the state. and 1t Is hoped by
those in charge that all Of this work
can be completed in few years.
Counties to be surveyed are select
ed according to the order of petit
lions received by the experiment
station. To get a survey in a county
q petition from the farmers and resi-
dents Is made and sent in to the ex-
pertinent station at Ames. The
county is then surveyed as soon as
possible.
Objects Of Surveys.
These surveys are made" ex-
planned Prof. p. E. Brown, in charge
OF the work for the Iowa experiment
station, Ito determine the kind and
amounts OF the various soils in the
county. A map is prepared showing
the various soil areas. the exact loca-
ton OF all roads. railroads, streams
and watersheds. Samples, of the soil
are taken and sent to the station
where tests are conducted to deter
mine the chemical and physical struc-
| ture. II any soil is lacking In any
plant food advice is given to the
people Of that locality how to remedy
| IL.
Bremen county was the first
county in the state to be surveyed
1t was found in this county that the
soil was Of Darlington loan and
was acid. By applying lime to this
soil the production Of clover was more
than doubled and other crops were
materially benefited. The same
condition was found in Clinton coun-
ty. In the addition of this chemical
in the shape of fertilizer, crops were
increased 30 to 10 per cent. In Ring
gold county with the addition OF
phosphorus production was increas-
ed over 10 per cent. Similar results
have been gotten In all thirty three
counties Of the state following the
surveys.
Not only are these soils analysed
to show the chemical content but
they are tested to show the results
when lime. commercial fertilizers
manures and legumes are used.
Where the soil in q county has
washed badly methods ere tried out
to check this and many drainage
problems are worked out. This work
is done free to the counties.

Manila, April 16.-General Emilio
Aguinaldo, who fought for the
independence Of he Philip
pines and was captured by
General F'unst on, still holds a strong
place in the affections of the Filipino
people. This was demonstrated when
he left the hospital the other day to
pay a visit to his farm at Kawit
about fifty miles from Manila. b.
Aguinaldo has been in the hospital
recovering from an operation for ap-
pendicitus but was permitted to go
first birthday.
Accompanied by his physician and
nurse, he made the fifty mile trip
10y automobile. Altho his visit was
not announced in advance, the news
Of his coming spread and the people
of the villages along the way gather
ed at the roadside and the children
At one village the children waved
American and Filipino flags and sang
"Aguinaldo's March," At his home he
was met by nearly all the villagers
headed by a band and speakers gave
him elcome. Afrer spending night at
the farm he returned to the hospital.
Aguinaldo seems assured against
want. Besides the pension of $1,000
granted to him by the legislature
he owns about $500 acres Of Friar
lands in Cavite province which he
bought from the government, OF
which 800 acres are planted in rice
and sugarcane, owns nearly 1000
acres in the foothills Of Cavite, where
he grows hemp: is vice-president of
two large vegetable oil concerns and
has handsome residence in Man
lila.
When he was captured by General
Funston in 1901 after leading his
Campaign. for independence, he gave
his promise to the Americans that
he would not again take up arms
and be. has kept the promise. He
declares however that, in his opiu-
ion, the time TO-: granting independ-
ence to the Philippines has arrived
and that the people of the Islands
are ready to maintain a stable gov
