TO AVOID MISTAKES.

Nobody realizes the value of a city
plan more than the people who live In
the cities that have already grown big.
Perth Amboy would have been a big
ger and better city today II. twenty
five years ago, a real city plan had been
adopted AMI followed as the city de-
veloped. But Perth Amboy is still in
its infancy as far as development is
concerned and II is not yet too late to
adopt a comprehensive plan for the
future.
Trenton furnishes q striking illustra-
ton of the regrets that come IN after
years and the looking back TO what
might have been" Under the heading
Look Ahead" the Trenton Times of
recent date says:
with all the street-widening pro-
jects under consideration, the City
Commissioners should not forget that
several years ago they looked with favor
on a proposition that the building lines
on certain streets should be set back,
with the understanding that after a
term OF years all property owners must
conform thereto, and that In the mean
time any repairs or improvements to
property on the street should be made
according to the newly-established
line.
"Adoption OF such a policy forty or
fifty years ago would have made IL pos
eible for Trenton to nave wide streets
now. with no traf1ic congestion prob
lens to solve. Adoption now will make
possible a greater and better Trenton
in the future. without imposing too
heavy financial burdens upon the peo-
pie. 1t is time we were beginning to
plan ahead, instead of making public
Improvements only when driven there
to by necessity"
Trenton's population for the 1920
census has not yet been announced,
but the state census of 1916 showed
4OotlOV AiiiihoilaAtSs We OAuS II,
when Perth Amboy reaches that size.
the residents here will also look back
with regret to the fact that some COM
prehensive plan was not adopted forty
or fifty years ago. so hat the mistakes
that then will be SO glaring could nave
been avoided.
1t is to be noted thai as large as
Trenton is today. there is still tho
optomistic feeling that adoption of a
plan even now will make possible a
greater and better Trenton in the fu-
ture."
Perth Amboy already can see many
errors of the past. Before the city
grows any larger and while there is
yet an opportunity to prevent more
mistakes being mad through a hap
hazard growth is the time to correct
these errors and see to 1t that more
are not made. A comprehensive city
plan for future development is the
greatest need of the city today.

Bio Job for One Hen.

An American agriculturist visiting in England was telling tall tales of big broods of chickens. Twenty chickens from twelve eggs appeared to be an everyday occurrence in the States, if the stories he told were true.
 Happen you never see so many as a hundred matched by one hen at a setting?" asked a Suffolk man across the table.
 The American had never seen such a brood as that. 'Well, then, I have, mister" returned the other. "Down Ipswich way we always fill a barrel with eggs and set the old hen on the bunghole."

COTTON MEN ID
 DISCUSS EXPORTS
TO HEAR PLANS FOR THE SELL ING OF COTTON TO EURO
 PEAN COUNTRIES.
DETAILS TO BE EXPLAINED D
Investigations Have Shown That There Is a Wonderful Opportunity For Cotton Grower in the Ex-
 port Corporation.

Little Rock-Plans for the organt- zation of an export corporation to aid in disposing of lowgrade American cotton will be explained at the state wide conference of Arkansas cotton growers and business men called by the Arkansas division of the American Cotton Association to be held here. Details of the plan and the steps now being taken by the association to make it a success will be given at the meeting by former Governor k. 1. Manning of South Carolina, chairman of the South Carolina division and a member of the associations National Export Corporation, who recently Wir- ed to D. C. Welty, vice president and general manager of the Arkansas df- vision that he will be present at the meeting and will speak.
 MT. Manning's committee has em- ployed one of the best known Amer ican authorities on cotton marketing abroad to investigate the situation both in the country and Europe, and has worked out the details of the plan which will be explained here. South Carolina growers are givingtheir CO operation to the plan, and have pledg- ed several thousand bales of cotton in payment for stock in the corporation.
 MT. Manning's investigations have portunity for Southern cotton grow CTS in the export corporation" MT. Welty said Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Board has en- dorsed the plan, and there is no ques- tion that Germany and other countries of Central Europe can take several million bales of cotton at good prices, buying the low-grade staple held over from last year, which now is hurting the price of this years cotton, and provided the buyers security is good we can better afford to sell now through export than to hold the low grade cotton fora market which has not yet appeared. A representative of Czecho- -Slovakia has been in the United States conferring with Cover nor Harding and American Cotton As sociatio noffeials, and has made it evident that foreign buyers are ready to pay freight on the cotton and give paper backed by mills, banks in gen. eral and the governments of the coun- tries concerned"
 Besides MT Manning other speakers of national prominence will speak at the Arkansas meeting, including John S. Wanamaker, president of the na tional association; B. F. McCloud chairman of the Finance Committee; L. w. McGrath, president of the Mis sissippi division; Nathan Adams, pres ident of the Texas division; Lem Banks, president of the Tennessee di vision and large Arkonsas planter; Dr. Bradford Knapp, dean of the Col lege of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas, and others.

 "Calomel is dangerous and people know it." DOdson's Liver Tone is per sonally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle doesn't cost very much but if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver slug gisaness and constipation, just ask for your money back.

Government Provides for Extension in
Agriculture and Home Economics.

Because many persons who apply
to the state college of agriculture at
Burlington for publications enclose
postage TO pay for mailing them, the
extension service has issued state
ment which says that practically oil
its publications are sent postage free,
and it is not necessary to enclose
stamps when writing for them. Most
publications are issued on state or
federal funds which are provided for
extension work in agriculture and
home economics and go through the
mails under special frank as au-
thorized by Congress. In cases where
postage is required on a publication
requested. notice will be given when
the publication is sent.
The college has available over 200
different state and federal publications
on farm topics for free distribution to
residents of the state of Vermont.
Since January |, nearly $4,000 pieces
of printed matter have been sent out
in this way from the extension serv-
ice. Where necessary, specialists in
each department answer by personal
letter specific requests from residents
Of the state.

VT. DAIRY FARMERS
HELPED BY FAMILIES
Statistics Recently Gathered Show that
"a Per Cent of All Dairy Work
on the Average Farm Is
Done By Wives, Daugh-
tiers, Sons, Etc.

Vermont dairy farmers have more
help from members of their families
than farmers in any other northern
New England state, according to the
data recently secured by the Depart.
ment of statistics of the New England
Milk Producers association. The fig.
ures show that the wives, daughters,
sons and other members of the families,
working without pay, do "a per cent Of
all the dairy work on the average farm.
With this efficient help the Vermont
farmers get along with only 81 per
cent of hired labor.
These figures are in striking contrast
to Massachusetts, where the dairy
farmers have only seven per cent OF
help from members of their families
and are obliged to hire more help and
put in much more time themselves.
New Hampshire families do II per cent
of the work and Maine l6 per cent. But
the Maine farmer does much of his own
dairy work and has only seven per cent
of hired help.
One reason why Vermont families
make such good showing is the large
percentage of work done by boys under
Is years old The records show that
more than IL per cent of all the dairy
work is done by these boys, while in
Massachusetts they do only four per
cent, in Maine five per cent and in
New Hampshire eight per cent. Yer
mont daughters, on the other hand, are
next to lowest in the list, with less
than one per cent of work to their cred.
it. Connecticut girls do more than sew
en- times as much work on the dairy
farms, according to these statistics.
Vermont women do more dairy work
than the women of any other state but
Connecticut and they do eight times
as much as Massachusetts, women.
These figures were secured by the
New England Milk Producers associa-
ton in its effort to determine the ac-
tual cost of producing milk on the av
erage New England farm. The percent
age of home labor runs high. It is
not paid for directly, but it must be
taken into account in determining
costs. The relatively large percentage
of work which is done without cost
by members of the average Vermont
dairyman's family may be one reason
for the common belief that milk can
be produced in Vermont much cheaper
than in other states on New England.
