WHAT TO SEE In
NEW YORK
ARE OPTIMISTS IDIOTS?

"Are optimists idiots, and if so, what
is a pessimist ?" asks Charles Nc
Naughton playing in Three Live
Ghosts" at the Nora Bayes Theatre,
New York. Broadway has been much
amused at the laughing situations
brought into the play by the adven-
lures of a shell-shocked English sol
der, who without even remembering
his own name, balmily smiles upon
the world! "Spoofy" helps himself to
anything he wants, gives it away to
anyone he chooses, and seems
"Bloomin' 'appy!" Then he is hit upon
the head by policeman and RECEIVERS
his memory, and becomes very I'M
happy over the realization of what he
has done. McNaughton, the cockney
Jimmie Gubbins," signs "Too bad
Spoofy can't stay crazy-'he was so
Apply without is brains!"
When he realizes that he has robbed
his own house and his wife LADY
Leicester) embraces him, pessimists
might groan, "Too badl He was so
happy without his brains-or his
wife"
Max MARGIN, who produced "Three
Live Ghosts" keeps an eye on
"Spoofy's" performance every night,
for any kidding or deliberate playing
for laughs in that character would
seem unethical. Cyril Chadwick plays
the part very simply and con-
scientiously.

VANS CAN BE GROWN IN N. J.

To the lover of candied "yams"
and baked Sweets" the news that
sweet potatoes can be grown success
fully in certain parts of New Jersey
without the use of expensive manure
in the ridge, which has hitherto been
considered essential by many grow
ers, is particularly welcome.
Both fertilizer and variety demon
strations on sweet potatoes were
started in the spring on the farm of
Mrs. j. Johns, Toms River, Ocean
County, N. j., by C. H. Nissley, vege-
table specialist from the State Agri-
cultural College in cooperation with
the county agent, E. H. Waite. A
field meeting and "Sweet Potato Day"
was held at the plots recently and
average results of these and other
demonstration plots shown, which
proved to be of great interest to sweet
potato growers.
Applications of 1000 pounds 4-8-4
fertilizer per acre gave a yield per
acre of 70 bushels of first and 81 of
seconds. AS against this, manure used
under the rows produced a pield of &c
bushels of firsts and SO of seconds per
acre. 1t is interesting to note that
1000 pounds of 2-8-4 yielded 81
bushels of firsts and So of seconds;
1876 in the same quantity produced
81 bushels of firsts and 80 of sec
onds; 6-8-4, SO bushels of firsts and
40 of seconds, and 400, 27 bushels
of firsts and 80 of seconds.
Get busy, you farmers, we love
candied yamsi

A COMMENDABLE ACTION

One of the best indications of re-
turning normally in labor conditions
was the recent action of labor bodies
in Baltimore refusing to demand
higher wages. These men are in the
building trades. A year ago they
were raised to 80 cents an hour. They
were promised another raise after a
year if conditions demanded it.
But these men have come to realize
that increased demands for wages
necessarily force up prices on other
things. So when the year had passed
they voted not to ask for S1.00 per
hour.
1t is commendable. 1t is graft
flying indication that laboring men are
coming to realize that the labor agita-
tor is their worst enemy. They have
learned that increased cost of produc-
ton means increased cost of sales.
They have learned that they indi-
rectly rob themselves when they boost
Lue price VI diiy IillilS. lHSy udse
learned that they can get better con-
sideration and understanding when
they deal directly with their employ
ers. They have learned that labor
agitators only create animosity wher
they threaten employers with strikes
They have learned that these same
labor agitators are lining their pockets
with gold while the laborers are or
strike and receiving nothing. The ex.
posures now going on in New York
show that the rascally Brindel has
received hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in graft for his labor agitations
and the same thing is going on il
every city in proportion to its size.
The laboring man has learned tina
Wilson's boards of arbitration" hay'
been but political machines designated
to get their vote, and only creating
hard feelings between employers ant
employees, which make condition.
worse.
1t is commendable that these mel
are waking up, and it can be expected
that others will follow. For after al
the average American worker is nj
fool. He is good natured and patien
in some things, but when he come
to himself he knows how to act fo-
himself.

LOCAL BIRTH RATE GOOD

LAMBERTVILLE - We may not
have gained much in the census report
of the last ten years, but indications
are that this town is going to set a
record for the next ten years.
City Clerk Smith reports eight
births for October and only two
deaths. Meanwhile weddings go mer-
rily on, insuring good returns for the
future. There were three marriages
in October.
Lambertville is a good and healthy
place to live in. There is no better
town in the state for raising children.
Open country and fresh water make
it a good summer resort, and naturally
a healthy place for children. The
high school, situated as it is on the
hill, insures good, clean air for the
pupils while at study. So let the good
work go on.

TIMELY REMINDERS FROM THE
PENNSYLVANIA STATE COL
LEGE

Orchard-Immediate steps ,lould
be taken to protect fruit trees from
attacks by mice and rabbits during
the winter. Common roofing paper
tied around tree trunks with tarred
string makes satisfactory protection
Garden-Sashes for use in winter
or spring may be repaired at this
time. Cracked and poorly fitting glass
allows cold air and water to enter the
hot bed or cold frame. 1t is a good
time to clean glass also.
Soil Drainage-If you. have a field
sowed to wheat, do not expect any
thing but weeds on the wet spots
where frost causes "heaving." Tile
drain those wet spots.
Selecting Dairy Cows-In choosing
good dairy cow, select one of large
size, since larger cows are usually
more profitable than smaller ones of
the same breed. Do not overlook type
for the market demands dairy cows in
which both good type and high pro-
ductlon are combined.
POultry-Pullets should now be in
their laying quarters to insure the
greatest returns. All poorly developed
birds should be disposed of. Those
pullets that are laying should be
marked as a means of Identification
for next year when the breeders are
selected. Early maturity is asso-
ciated with high production.
Sheep-Protectio should be per-
pared for sheep against the rains and
SHOWS of the winter months. If the
sheep shelter needs repairing, it
should be done now. Feed the breed
ing flock enough to insure strong
crop of lambs next spring.
Thrashing should not be delayed
longer than absolutely necessary. If
the grain moth is present, it can be
fought much better in the bins than
in the now
