immunity From whoopinq Couch.

DR.. r. Luzzati of Rome was called
to three different houses, in each of
which a child had begun to cough. In
each case he suspected that it might
be whooping cough; therefore, as a
precaution, he vaceinated all the broth
ers and sisters with an anti-whooping-
serum. Ten days later his suspicion
was confirmed by the typical whoop,
but in no case did one of the other
children catch the disease though no
attempt at isolation was made.
In reporting this to Pollclinlcs
(Rome) Doctor Luzzati says he has
found no benefit from vaccination once
tile disease has become pronounced.

For girls the toy stores advertise dolls. dolls

are playing today with the dolls their mothers
saved from their own childhood?

RIPPING RHYMES
NOVEMBER N
By Walt Mason,

November winds are harshly brawling
about my shack. the long night through: and
in my bed / hear them squalling around the
window and the hue. ! hear them hammer
cient wheexe: stoke up your fire, shake
down the ashes. or all the hanging plants
will freexe!" Novembers voice is wild and
raucous. the genial zest OF life 1t kills, and
all night long It seems to mock US, with hints
OF coming plumbers bills. BY day we hear
November shrieking. and bear up we'll be-
meath our cross. although we know that au-
tumn's sneaking. and winter comes. a total
loss. BY day we have our tolls and troubles
to occupy our divers minds: we saw our
wood and blow our bubbles, and give small
heed to wailing winds. But in the night,
with darkness round us. and ghost steps
creaking on the stair. the wild winds seem
to hunt and hound us. and I'LL our bosoms
with despair. There's nothing speaks more
poignant sorrow than bleak November's voice
at night; and so we lie and wish the morrow
would come and bring its helpful light.

Il AND CUTTING.

Holding movements and reduced acreage
pleas on the part of farmers have reached the
stage where serious Developments are to be fear
ed.
Cotton farmers are holding their bales for in
creased prices and cotton interests are preach
ing an acreage reduction next year ranging from
one-third to one-half.
Wheat growers are holding their wheat for IS
a bushel and talking of decreased production
next year.
Farmers are really carrying out their threats
of curtailed production. the Department Of
Agriculture reports.
The nation as a whole welcomed a fall in
prices. But. unfortunately. prices to the farmer
fell far more than they have to the consumer.
Crops made under the most expensive conditions
in history suddenly declined below what the
farmer called the production cost. As in many
former years. the big drop came just in time to
catch the grower at the marketing season.
There has long been speculation about what
would happen IL the farmer ever struck. He
never has and probably never will. But such
movements as the present campaign for crop
holding and crop reduction may reach the stage
where som Of the effects of a farm strike will
result.
For one thing, food prices may again be boost
ed, in which event the farmer would once more
be a principal victim Of resulting conditions.
There is enough money in the marketing Of
raw materials to pay the farmer his expenses
and a fair profit for his investment and labor.
But too much Of this money il taken out ~ tolls
On the long road from the farmer to the con-
sumner. The real producer doesn't get 1t.
Legislation cannot control prices. But govern
ment agencies can help solve the problem OF
bringing the farmer more closely In touch with
the market and the market more closely In touch
with the ultimate consumer. The work Is q big
one and will take time. and the need for begin
ming it is very great.

FAIR WARNING.

Fair warning is given all owners
to get their 1921 licenses early. Beginning to-
morrow. December /, next years license can
be obtained at the local agency Of the State
Motor Vehicle Department at any time during
ONCE hours. The state commissioned has de-
clared against keeping open extra hours during
the evening and the Perth Amboy agency has
decided to conform Herewith.
The 1920 licenses are not good after Decem-
Der 81. On the first day Of the new year any
automobile appearing on the street with the old
license plate IL likely to be stopped. But q
whole month previous to January / Is given auto
owners to get their next years license so that
no fault can be found. The trouble Is, 80 many
people put of securing their new license until
the last day and then there is such a rush that
hours of time are wasted and the licensing
agency is over-worked when there should be no
occasion for it.
1t should be remembered, also, that every year
sees a great many more automobile owners In
each community. Perth Amboy and surround
Ing towns that depend on the agency here for
their licenses have experienced a wonderful
growth in the matter of ownership
| during the past year. This means that the num-
Der seeking to renew their license will be great
err this year than ever. The wise ones. therefore,
will get their licenses early 80 as to avoid the
rush. They can be obtained any time beginning
tomorrow.
