CRY NOT TO BLAME

x Through no fault of its own
Perth Amboy has acquired a large
amount OF unpleasant notoriety in
This and other states due to three
modes Of transportation, namely.
the ferry from Tottenville. the state
highway bridge yer the Raritan
river and the hole-in-the-wall at
south Amboy. The development of
the automobile which has increased
yearly inds Perth Amboy, the gate
way TO the shore resorts, in deplor-
able shape this year, to take care
Of the steady influx of automobiles
despite all the efforts of the munici-
pal authorities TO regulate traffic,
repair city streets and protect the
automobile tourist.
Perth Amboy's trafie problem
has been made more complex this
summer by uncertain ferry service
to and from Tottenviiie. II another
boat had been in operation over
the Fourth OF July the jam Of auto
mobiles that tied up the principal
streets Of the city would have been
1rratiy relieved. But even with two
beats in operation the city police
have to be takes from their regu-
lar posts to keep the line Of cars in
position. so in that sense the only
solution % the problem is another
ferry line to TottenviIle. Next year
there win be more cars on the roads
and the Jersey shore resorts will be
ae popular as this year. A general
Increase viii be the case from year
Il year and with the possibility Of
q bridge to TottenviIle being remote
Tor years to come. the only saliva

Ripping Rhymes
ENERGY.

For many, many weeks to come
the orators, brave souls. will knock
the welkin out of plumb. and shoot
il full of holes. Wherever there's
a stump-or keg some orator VIII
rise, and talk until he breaks a leg,
dispensing truth and lies. The men
with messages will spoil the picnic
in the dell. and when we'd fam go
forth to toll, they'll bind us with a
spell. If all their energy and steam
were put to saving wood. high
prices soon would be a dream, and
prospects would be good. We need
strong men to guide the plow n
see the pumpkins binned, but all
the husky fellows now are busy
dishing wind. If every man who
speaks a piece would grow some
wheat instead. one p~rofiteering graft
would cease, and we'd have cheaper
bread. If every man who takes the
stump, our bulwarks to defend.
would grab a hoe and blithely
hump, another graft would end.
For weeks and weeks the ancient
tunes will in our ears be dinned,
and when we plead for wholesome
prunes, they'll merely hand us wind.
The energy that's thrown away by
orators, oh, chez! If it were put
to baling hay, where would u
problems be?

Glaring headlights of an APP

by the motorist whose al ran into

Those who operate cars in this
vicinity know that the law in that
respect is % being lived up to by
many motorists who use the state

ark while the cars are returning
from the shore resorts one can get
a good idea of the number of VIOLA

With Apologies To Dryden.
When Bacchus, God of Drink, was
young
And Homer then his epics sung.
Ere yet the seed had choked the lutte,
That Anacreon was wont to toot;
And Bacchantes fair, with forms d.
vine,
RivaIed Venus in all her prime
Man had his drink.
But now, Gambrinus has seen the
day
Barbarossa has gone to clay,
And Hops, that King of old renown.
Has hooked his scepter and pawneo
his crown:
And he amber brew of former years
Has given place to a food of tears
Man has no drink.

STILL NO WORKING PLAN

According to the police bIOtter a,
headquarters the Central Railroad
OF New Jersey tracks at Market
street were blocked for ifty-hvs
minutes sunday while repairs were
being made to a locomotive. All
traffic had to be diverted to Smith
street during the morning exodus
out of the city. Passengers in the
waiting coaches were given a chance
to gaze upon one Of this city's most
ancient relics. the railroad station.
Needless TO say they were not duly
inspired for old landmarks seem
out Of place as q depot at a busy
xaiiroad Junction.
The union station idea is still be-
tng discussed in a quiet way among
residents and city officials as we'll.
The plans advanced for the grade
crossing elimination and the union
station are in most cases sound and
practical But there Is no coordi-
mated effort, no working plan to
follow out; nothing at all to work
on II the project were to be started
in the near future. Every big com-
merciai or industrial project being
considered today is first mapped
out. studied and surveyed, but still
Perth Amboy is without a city plan.
always waiting until a project IS
actually started and then looking
Idly on until the work is finished.
Other interests. corporate bodies
or state or federal commissions are
doing Perth Amboy's city planning,
not the city itself. We have no
knowledge of the State Highway
Commission comforting with the city
officials as to the location for the
new bridge over the Raritan Or the
approach for the span that must he
traced through the city streets.
Still the work is under way as drill
ing is being rapidly pushed. The
city governing body may not agree
with the state highway plans for
the new bridge. Much time and
trouble to all concerned would be
saved if Perth Amboy could show
the state highway engineers a con-
crete plan, a municipal working
drawing providing for future devel-
cpment.
What is true of the bridge project
Of today is true Of the grade cross
ing elimination and union station Of
tomorrow. Any big Industrial con-
cera facing a like feature of devel-
opnAant would be able to show their
own plans of the projects. Still
Perth Amboy. a center of many iu-
dustrial concerns, big stores and the
home of over 10000 people, is still
in the dark when the big opportu-
mites arise. A start for a city plan,
something tangible to work upon,
Is needed at this time. Then when
the big projects are mentioned SIS
value will be shown and impetus
given this phase Of municipal de-
velopment until it is firmly estab-
lishsd.

INV ADES NORMAL
 CHICKEN HOUSES

Boldly entering the State Normal campus about 10 o'clock last night, culprit or culprits travelling in a big truck raided the chicken houses on the Normal farm and stole val uable Plymouth Rock and Barred Rock chickens. President B. w. Torreyson said the truck was heard to enter the campus, but little attention was paid to it as an occurrence not out of the ordinary Later the serv- ants at the dormitory heard the squall- ing of chickens, but did not notify Mir. Torreyson as the lights were out in the building and supposed Mr. and Mrs. Torreyson were in town Exami- nation of the chickens this morning revealed the loss.
 MT. Torreyson said he had little hope of recovering the fowls, but hoped to give warning to other citi- zens to be on guard against the thief or thieves. The truck made consid- erable racket, he said, and was not muffied when it was driven on the campus

TOURISTS RETURN
 FROM FARM TOUR

County Agent T. M. Williams, D. o. Harton, Julian J. Little, John H. Powers and Steve Davis, Faulkner county men who made the profitable farming tour through Georgia, Ala bama and the Carolinas, returned to Conway last night. Compared with other successful tour which the Lit tie Rock chamber of commerce has managed, the present tour is by far the most successful and the one, all of the tourists predict, will have the most marked and beneficial influence on farming in Arkansas.
 According to Mir. Powers, farm ng Ill the best sections of those states present a striking contrast to meth usually pursued on the average Ar kansas farms, authough Arkansas lands are admittedly stronger and more fertile. As demonstrated to the tourists, methods used in Arkansas produce heavy enough stalk, but the fruitage does not equal that of the south Atlantic. Fertilizer, applied from 600 to 1000 pounds to the acre, supplies the deficiency in the lands strength and makes the section more productive than Arkansas. Three tales of cotton to the acre is not an exception, Mr. Powers said, while corr in the lowlands often runs 100 bushels to the acre.
 All members of the party are very enthusiastic over results of the tour They were feted and dined by citizens at every stop and given thoroughly enjoyed time as we'll as provided with every facility for inspection of the best farms in every county where the stop train made stops.
