JERSEY FVES TOP
/. EASTERN STANDING
Camden and Trenton, Tie fol
the Lead, Clash Tomorrow
Night and Wednesday

Jersey hycs have a monopoly on the
Eastern Basketball League with the
playing Of. last week games. \ pair
of wins from Trenton and Camden sent
thom past Germantown into the pin
nacn position. which they are sharing
on fifty fifty basis. Some one may be
riding TO a fall. however. as they meet
each other on Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
The clash tomorrow evening in the
Jersey capital is the postponed game
of three weeks ago. 1t could not be
staged at a more opportune time, fnan-
ciallv speaking. and the big drill shed
where the cage players hold forth will
see the largest crowd of the season. The
same conditions will prevail on Wcdncs-
day at Camden.
All the clashes between the Potters
and Skocters have been close ones. the
games in Camden having been decided
in the closing minutes and thcn only
hv a few points. Outside of the first
game in the second half ut Germantown,
loss points have been made against
Trenton in the last four successive
games than any other four straight
times this season by any club

MEXICO'S WEALTH OF SILVER
Aroused Greed of Conquerors ana Brought Only Bondage and Misery
 to the People.

Mexico has produced a steady stream Cortez in 1519. Bat while the supply seemed ineNhauStihle. it brought more misery than happiness to the nation in the opinion of the Salt Lake Trib- une, because it afforded the incentive to bring conquerOrs to its shores to en- slave the people.
 The Spaniards robbed and enslaved the Aztecs to control the silver supply. They plotted out Semi-barbarOuS civilization that had built great irri- gatiOn systems. massive temples and beautiful cities. and the once proud and happy people were placed under the yoke for foul centuries.
 An almost uncanny gift in ferreting out the big silver deposits was pos sessed by the Spanish governors. The cost of gunpOwder was so high. though, that only the richest finds were worked. Only ore that produced over 100 ounces of silver to the ton was mined It is said that the owner of the Quinteca mine. in the Alamos dis trict, SenOr Alarada. on the mar riage of his daughter. lined the bridal chamber of the p2laciO with bars Of silver and paved the way to the church with the metal.
 Large profits are made from demol- ishing some of the old houses in the Chihuahua district, and reducing the material in them for silver: The na- tives who built them used to use the run of mine slag. in the absence of cheaper building material. and much

TOWNS NOT HATED TO LIVE
Communities East and West, Founde d in High Hopes, Arc Now PraCt-

Western papers tell their readers shortly to be thing forgotten. re marks the Hartford C0urant Ii was mapped out as town site shortly after the territory was opened fer set clement, and the promoters ha' dreams of a metropolis Tn 1907 tho plan was abandoned, and now the dis trict court has been asked to vacatt the land for town site purposes, Whei what might have been a town will he come farm land.
 The story of Emerson suggests what came near happening to d Connection town in the beginnings of the colony Those interested in it showed rare sense in their choice of site, and ir their dreams planned not for town but for a city. Hampden and Crom- well were to be among it's citizens: the cream of England, so it's promoters hoped, were to become it's citizens Fate ordered otherwise, and the early days of this dream town are remem- bered now largely through Lion Gartli ner'S account of his struggle to hold the site against the attacks of the In danS

VAS ALWAYS POPULAR GAME
Those Who Think There Is Anything New in Profiteering Have An
 other Guess Coming.

The high cost of living was just as much a problem in Elizabethan times as it is today. The Rev. William Har rison. as quaint a gossip as Pepys, and equally gifted as a chrOnicler, com plained that magistrates in his day winked at merchants who charged more for commodities than they were permit: ed by law to charge. In that day. as in this. "bOdgers"-this delight fully descriptive word is of the dOmi- nie'S own cOining-Were allowed "tO burn up corn and raise the price of it i; to carry it home unsold, or to a dis tant market. if they want more money than the buyer likes to pay; nay, they've leave to export it for the ben eft of enemies abroad, so as to make more profit.
 During the world war there was much talk of certain Americans who deliberately destroyed carloads of pO tatoeS. cabbages and other vegetables and fOOdStuffs in order to raise the prices of these commodities. Same old story. There's nothing new, remarks J. N. H., in Rochester POSt-EXpreSS.
 Again, to hark back to good Canon Harrison, "pesteriferOus purveyOrs buy up eggs. chickens, bacon, etc.: butter men travel about and buy up butter at farmers houses, and have raised it's price from 1Sd to 4Od gallon. These things are ill for the buyer and the poor man, and should not be allowed.
 After all about the only thing that is true is that there is no new thing under the sun. Like the poor, the prOfiteer is always with us.

FIND MANY USES FOR PEAT
Wartorn Industry Gives Promise ot Great Development in the
 Years to Come.

The output of peat in the tinted
 States last year far exceeded that of any preceding year and the general increase, which was stimulated by the war, was shared by practically all branches of the industry. Though eH- tensively used as fu?l in Europe and widely known in the tinted States as a potential source of heat and power. peat has been unable to compete with coal and many peat operators have di
 rected their attention to the utilization of peat in agriculture with gratifying results.
 Peat fertilizer was first marketed in
 commercial quantities in 1908. and stock food peat in 1912. and though there is still some prejudice against its use the agricultural branch of the in dustry has been successful and the quantity of fertilizer and stock-food peat annually produced is increasing Large quantities of these products were made last year. but the most striking development was the produc
 tiOn of more peat in the New England States than has been manufactured in the entire United States in all preced-
 ing years. Almost equally striking was the widespread interest manifest ed in peat resources which had been generally regarded as of doubtful
 value.
 Large quantities of peat or sphAg mum moss were produced and utilized for stable litter, packing material, and
 surgical dressing, and several hun dred thousand acres of peat soils were used for the growth of crops. The peat litter was produced by the own CTS of small hogs for their own use. but the packing material was sold to florists for $2j ton. According to J. w. HOtSOn of the Red Cross more than half million peat pads were prepared in this country for that organization. Most of the moss was gathered by volunteers from bOgS in Washington, Oregon and Maine, and the pads were used in military hos pitalS at home and abroad.
