HATS OFF TO THE BOYS AND
GIRLS

Among the very good reasons why
Johnny stayed so long at the Fair
this year was the big exhibition of
Junior Extension Work that half filed
the beautiful new state building. And
if Johnny didn't come home with a
bunch of blue ribbons, it was because
some more enterprising club boy or
girl had worked just a little bit harder
than he last summer, and maybe hoed
his corr a little more faithfully, or
fed his calf with a little more care.
Nobody counted them; but many
thousand people, most of them human
Interrogation points, filed through that
building during the week of the Tren-
ton Interstate Fair and marvelled at
what boys and girls can do when they
get started.
Two tall pyramids of canned goods
separated the crowd as it came
through the door, and behind this
stood racks of fancy goods, dresses,
aprons, smocks, blouses, u~nderclothes
and sweaters fashioned by clever lit
tie fingers of club girls from all over
New Jersey. Then just to show how
all this needlework can be put to good
use, the Pollyanna Sewing Club of
Franklin-Union, Morris County, fur
nished and exhibited "a Girls Own
Room" in which couch covers, pill
lows, curtains, bureau spreads and
rugs were the girls own handiwork.
1t is not every housewife who could
prepare a whole meal with a crowd
of people looking on, talking to one
another and generally distracting her.
But that is just what teams of three
girls each from Mercer, Cumberland,
Morris and Middlesex Counties did in
the demonstration booths fixed up for
that purpose. Furthermore, they ex-
planned every step and when the meal
was prepared, placed it on a table and
served four people who were lucky
enough to be asked to dine.
Ladies first; now for the boys. Near
the exhibition building a big tent was
filled with calves and poultry, while
nearby the pigs grunted contentedly
in their comfortable pens. Every calf
displayed in the Coliseum on Monday
by club boys and girls was a pure
bred; every n had been tuberculin
tested. Many of them had been pur-
chased with money borrowed from the
Frelinghuysen fund.
Demonstrations in taking wireless
messages were given daily by a team
of boys from Ocean City who brought
their apparatus from Springfield,
where they had been demonstrating
at the Eastern States Exposition, and
set it up in the Exhibition building.
Vegetables, including field corn, form
ed one of the most spectacular dis
plays put on by the boys and girls, and
filled a large space in the building.
Next year, according to A. NJ. HUI
bert, state leader, Junior Extension
Work needs more space, and the fair
authorities have promised the space

annual session of the Grand Lodge was
held at Asbury Park this week. Ed
ward q. Fox went to the Monmouth
County resort Tuesday to represent
our local l. o. o. F. lodge.
With a total of 247 lodges the Order
has passed through the most success
full year in it's history, and the plans
formulated for the future by the adj
ministration and endorsed by the ac-
ton of a large majority of subordinate
lodges presages even greater activities
for the three-links fraternity during
the coming year.
Personally sponsored by Grand Mas
ter Gaskill, degree demonstrations
held in Camden and Orange during the
late Spring resulted in the gathering
of wei $4,000 Odd Fellows from all
parts of the state. Automobile runs
to the Odd Fellows Home at Trenton
on three occasions from various parts
of the state resulted in an attendance
of over 1000 members of the Order.
Grand Master Gaskill has submitted
a plan of raising 500, 900 for the erec-
ton of a new home at Trenton and
also for an endowment fund of $780,
600 which will obviate further per
capita tax for it's maintenance. The
plan has beer approved by a majority
of lodges, many having submitted the
%proposition to it's members on a refer
endum vote.
Charles H. Baker, of Newark, pres
ent deputy Grand Master, was elected
to head the Order in the state without
opposition, while Andrew Stertzer, or
Hackensack, will be advanced to the
office of deputy Grand Master, he in
turn being succeeded as Grand Warden
by Senator William H. Bright, OF
wildwood.
Three candidates were in the field
for representative to the Sovereign
Grand Lodge, Including George II. a
rvmpIe. former judge of Passa1c
County; Harvey S. Hopkins, county
Clerk, of Sussex County, and Peter N.
Stagg, former judge of Bergen County.
The retiring Grand Master, who is
the youngest nan to ever hoid tne
office in New Jersey, in his annua re-
port gives much credit to the pubic
nress of this and adjoining states for
the success of his administration.

&Sz6mA@ here that
Father Marquette, after his first
discovery of the Illinois river.
established a Jesuit mission In
1875. Four years later La Sale,
the French explorer, passed
through the Great Lakes, landed
at the Chicago river and pushed
on to the Illinois river, which he
. named after the Indian tribes
living In that region. Here he
built a fort and sent his boat
back to Montreal for further sup
plies. When his vessel did not
return he started home on foot
and succeeded In finding his way
to Montreal through a thousand
miles Of tangled wilderness. He
gathered together another expe-
dition and returned to the fort,
which he had left In charge OF
his companion Tonty. The fort
he found in ruins, but finally sue
ceeded in locating and rescuing
Tonty, who had been driven out
by the Iroquois Indians.
This riverway to the Mississip-
nj became one of the leading
avenues Of communication be-
tween the French in the North
and Louisiana. French settlers
soon located here and estab-
lished the most j. endly rela-
lions with the Indians. In fact,
though the Illinois country was
ceded by France to England in
1853, the sentiment of the Indi-
ans and French together was so i:
hostile that it was several years ;
before the territory could be oc. +:
cupied.

 UPON CASH BASIS

Little Rock, March F. - Even though the joint budget committee en- deavored to hold appropriations with in the states income, bills were passed appropriating $13S,000 which had not been acted upon by the committee. The budget committee had so arranged appropriation bills that the state would have. a balance of about $ll,- 900. but the Arkansas Railroad Com~ mission had to have funds with which to fight the Memphis rate case, ths firemens' pension fund takes $S7 300 year out of the general revenue and the balance was made in small appr0- priations here and there, such as road to the Bonneville sanatorium.
 But, with all the appropriations, the general revenue fund will have neat balance at the end of the biennial period due to the passage and appro val fthe bill licensing the sale of cigarettes. It is estimated by the budget committee that this will yield an annual revenue of S230,000. The budget committee has included in its program anticipated expenses so that at the end of the biennial period the legislature will not be called upon to make numerous deficiency appropria- tions as in the past. One of these items is a $45,OOo appropriation to pay for legal publications which items have always been held by the news papers for two years before they secured payment. The state is en- deavoring to get on cash basis, there by getting one hundred cents worth of supplies for every dollar expended.
