THERE ARE OTHERS.

Perth Amboy is not the only place
that is suffering from useless noises
in the streets at all hours of the
day and night. We recently quoted
from the New York Evening Mail
regarding the action of the authori-
ties in Philadelphia where steps have
been taken to stop the useless sound
ing of screech horns and other warn
ing signals on automobiles. Jersey
City also finds much to be commend
ed in the Philadelphia action. The
Jersey Journal. of Jersey City, says:
"A long-suffering public would be
duly grateful If the police every
where took a leaf from the book of
the Philadelphia authorities. who
have declared war on the open cut
out nuisance. The officials in the
City of Brotherly Love have opened
a drive to suppress all horns, bells
and similar devices which are belng
sounded unnecessarily by autoists,
but their particular quest Is cnduI-
feurs who drive with their cutouts
open. The open cutout nuisance n
and motorists who sound their horns
and bells unnecessarily are not pc
culiar to Philadelphia alone. Vir-
tually every community a its
quota, and every community so
afflicted will admit that its quota is
something it could very well get
along without"
OF course, Perth Amboy can con-
tinue to ignore this nuisance on the
ground that it is no worse than other
places. Philadelphia might have
done the same thing and the people
there would have had no relief yet.
Sooner or later, however, this noise
nuisance on the part of auto trucks
and buses is going to be abated. II
is natural to expect that a pace
making city" will set the pace for the
other places.

WHERE OUR IMPORTED
CIGARS COME FROM

sugar is supreme at the eastern
end of Cuba, but tobacco holds the
top position at the western end"
writes William Joseph Showalter in
the second OF a series OF National
Geographic Society bulletins on
where Our Imports Come From"
'Pinar del Rio tobacco soothes
the nerves of men of affairs the
world over. There are all kinds of
tobacco-growers. from the rich
'veguero,' with score of acre of
the finest Vuelta Abajo wrapper,
grown under cheese-cloth, to the
poor thatched-hut dweller. with his
little patch that produces nothing
but cheap filler.
The finest tobacco lands in Pinar
del Rio are on the south side of the
range of mountains that extend
through the province from east to
west. midway between the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, in a
well-watered, rolling country, full
of natural beauty and possessed of
a climate as mild and sweet as the
fragrance of the cigar whose raw
material grows there. The soil is
chocolate-colored, from two to ten
feet deep, and gets its peculiar
qualities from the volcanoes that
once were dCtlNc tncICs
I'm growing Vuelta Abajo tobac-
co. seed is taken from the first
growth of strong and sturdy plants
and placed in plots of virgin soil
near the fields. When the seedlings
reach a proper state of development
they are ~transplanted in the fields.
Fertilizer is selected by chemical
analysis of both the soil and the
tobacco whose flavor it is desired to
reproduce. A mulch of from two
to three inches of partly decom-
posed hay is put ove the ground to
keep down the weeds and to pro-
vide vegetable matter as plant food.
I'm curing, the leaves are sus-
pended on poles which are put in
racks, first in the sun and then in
the curing barns. In the latter they
hang for several weeks, their color
changing from the green of the
growing plant to the brown of the
finished cigar.
when this stage of the curing
process is completed the leaves are
put into heaps and left to sweat
for several days. After that they
are placed in bales of about 100
pounds each and shipped to the
storage warehouse. There they fer
ment and undergo a further curing.
This process continues from one to
two years, according to the grade
of the leaves. before they are re-
garded as fit to be rolled into cigars.
From storage the tobacco goes
to the cigar factory. Here the
bales are opened up and sprayed
with clear water and allowed 20
stand until each leaf becomes moist
and pliable. After this the leaves
intended for filters are placed in
hogsheads for further curing. which
requires from two to six weeks, de-
pending on the grade Of the tobac-
CO.
THE wrapper leaves are selected
with great care. The cheesecloth
under which they were grown kept
out insect enemies and protected
them from heavy rains. Any leaf
that has a hole through 1t Is retired
to the humber rank of filler ma
terial.
after the cigars are finished they
are placed in old seasoned cedar
bins. where they get a little touch
of the cedar aroma. while any sur
plus moisture in them evaporates.
When ready for market they are
assorted to the color of the wrap
per and packed in the boxes we see
at the cigar stands"

DAILY HOROSCOPE

Friendly stars rule today, accord
ing TO astrologers.
1t is a time more favorable to the
activities of women who will achieve
important successes in public work.
While whatever of large ambition
undertaken by I'M should pros
per during this rule of the stars. it
is also most favorable to romance
and domestic happiness.
1t should be an exceedingly lucky
wedding day for it promises places
in the Sun for the bridegroom and
happiness for the bride.
This is held to be the most auspi-
cious date for first performances Of
new plays and for first appearances
of new stars.
Venus presages extraordinary
growth of interest in theatrical af-
fairs. Business conditions will
change, owing to heavy Investments
by bankers and men of conservative
policies.
Education has the best foreshad-
owing possible for there is prophecy
of increased numbers in all colleges
and schools.
Ol Hl6LlOuo VI lIdiH-
ing is again prophesied for western
institutions of learning which will
be more than ever practical in their
ideals.
Thrift campaigns now come under
stars that seem to presage interest
in the scientific administration of f.
nancial affairs in the domestic as
well as the business world.
All the stars are read as giving
assurance of growth in the national
interest in advertising, which will
reach absurd extremes where per-
sonal publicity is concerned.
Honors to the Department of War
or to Military men In the United
States are foretold.
A new interest in army matters is
prognosticated and this may be due
to the fact that some menace to
the nation is feared.
Awakening to interest in art again
is foreshadowed for the United
States.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the representation of a prosperous
year with enlarged activities.
Children born on this day are
likely 10 succeed in whatever they
undertake. They have the augury
of progress that rapidly reaches

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
It Is time that the people Of Perth
lAmbov take an interest in their pub
lie affairs or in other words. in their
Town business" 1t is this that
prompts me to write to you at this
time.
In reference to the election
officers of the second poll OF
the fifth ward. l have cad your ar
ticles on this matter also Mr.. Can
mons in yesterdays issue. In view
ing his matter as 1t now stands IL
is obvious that out of w Republi-
can and two Democratic officials at
least one should be familiar with the
requirements of the election Law I'M
der which they are serving. II
should not be left to one member
to know the law for they all should
know it to be competent in service.
If none of them knew the law whlch
the general public must believe Judg-
ing from what has been published,
then surely this board has been in
competent" If they did know the
law and then conducted the poll as
they did then surely they ARE In
competent"
Now this board was acting as a
whole. II the Republican members
have been found incompetent" and
removed then, too, the Democratic
members are just as incompetent"
and must be removed also.
1t is evident that the Democrats
are playing dirty" for the two
Democratic members remain on the
board. Judge DAILY is Democratic
and the Democratic boss, Mr.. Gan
non, puts a letter in the NEWS up
holding the board after the Repub-
.lican members have been removed,
to act as a stepping stone to hold
the Democratic members on the
board.
The Democratic members must go
of the Democrats want to show up
clean.
In the Hartmann liquor hold up
case the juries found that h first
two men up were guilty. Then Hart
mann came up and had the same
charges against him and was found
innocent. Judge DAILY freed them all
because one was found innocent.
Now, IL two of this election board
have been found guilty then also the
other two are guilty. If the two re-
naming members are not guilty then
the two suspended members must be
reinstated in order hat they alone
may not be disgraced.
Since this has gone as far as
it has it is my opinion that there
should be a whole new board If this
matter 1t to be cleaned up right.

In calling attention to the special
election to be held in Asbury Park
to elect a commissioner to succeed
the late DIR. Hugh S. Kinmonth we
stated that a direct municipal Issue
has been raised over the future policy
of developing the beach. We desir-
ed to emphasize the fact that under
the commission form of government
municipal affairs are handled sep
arately and the people r not in
iuenced by national politics as they
are in the general election in Nov
ember.
The result in Asbury Park bears
out this statement. In telling of the
result of the special election in AS
bury Park the Long Branch Record
said: Politics failed to figure in the
election. Asbury Park is normally
Republican by several hundred, yet
Judge Taylor, a Democrat. was high
man, and Joseph NJ. Turner. another
Democrat, was a close third"
1t is plain hat when the people
of a municipality have only the well
fare Of their own home town to think
about they ignore the mans politics
and choose the one who they believe
is best fitted for the office or who
stands for a policy of municipal de-
velopment hat most appeals to the
voter. Some cities. however, pre-
fer to be run by politics and them
again, there are cities where the
people don't care how they are run
at least such is the inference when
they fail to take the trouble to vote
one way or the other when the form
of municipal government is at
stake.

Some satisfaction is to be found in
the report that upon the r%eopening
of the state highway bridge across
the Raritan river the hole-in-the-
wall nuisance will be permanently
eliminated. The State Highway Com
mission has constructed a fine, broad
concrete road along what was known
as the Pennsylvania right of way and
this work is about finished. The
wonder is that 1t was not finished
long ago. The work on it has been
going on long enough. However with
the bridge closed the road is use
less. With the reopening of the
bridge to traffic the road will be
ready. it is stated. and the passage
through South Amboy will be re-
lieved of the awful condition that
prevailed before the bridge went out
of commission.
