Special to The Evening Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
PENNSGROVE. n. j.. March 20.
Following the example set by the
farmers in the vicinity OF Pedrick-
town, N. j., who about two weeks
ago at mass meeting set a maxi
mum scale Of wage for farm help.
farmers throughout Salem county
have petitioned the County Board of
Agriculture to arrange meetings in
various parts OF the county to dis
cuss the problem OF setting a SINH
lar wage scale.
Meetings were held at Woodstown
and Salem the past week. about 60
farmers attending the Woodstown
meeting and nearly 100 attending
the one held in Salem. Farmers in
the vicinity OF Woodstown set the
wage at $25-s30 with the privilege
Of paying a bonus to an employe
worth more. Those employed by the
week will receive sS and board.
while day hands will receive 81 and
$3.50 a day and board themselves.
Twenty cents an hour and board was
the scale set for harvesting and hay
gathering, and 25 cents an hour for
filling silos and threshing. Salem
and Woodstown agreed on a uniform
scale except on the monthly wage,
which Salem set at s3O-s4O with
board.
Both gatherings agreed on cents
a basket for cutting potatoes and
"a cents a basket for picking to-
matoes. While these scales cannot
be enforced. il a farmer chooses 10
pay more. the County Board of
Agriculture has requested the farm
ers TO conform to these scale recon-
mendations.

FOR THE coNsIsroRYs NEW HOME.

q MERlcA with $50 persons in the cast will open at
N The Playhouse this evening, and will show daily
until Saturday evening, inclusive with matinee on that
day
There are many reasons why Delawareans should see
this brilliant pageant but the chief is that the revenue
derived from il will be used to swell the fund for building
in city home for Delaware Consstory OF Scottish
Rite Masons OF the largest Masonic bodies in the
Delaware jurisdiction.
The erection of such building in city would add
greatly to It's attractveness and also to its social and
fraternal charm.
1t is asserted on behalf Of the management that in
America" there will be more elaborate costumng than
been witnessed any stage in this
country while the scenery used is recordmakng in point
OF size and attractveness.
The play is something that stands for patriotism and
pride and the fact that the cast Is made up oil
Delaware men, women and children should make strons
appeal to local sentiment.
For the sake the Consstory and its building project
as well as for the sake Of local PRIDE The Playhouse
should be crowded for every performance.

Editorial Opinion
BANDITS AT THE WHIPPING
T-TNT.
From the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin

IONl.
From the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin.
The lea OF fogging as a punish
ment for criminals is ordinarily re-
pugnant to the feelings Of humane
American citizens. But the "crime
wave" and the prevalence Of high
way robbery and other atrocious Of
fenses constitute a desperate social
disease that requires a desperate
remedy.
For that reason the inhiction OF
40 lashes each on four convicts in
Delaware. the first thugs and high
waymen TO be thus punished. under
the new law. will meet with wide
spread approval. Little. II any, SYM
pathy or pity will be wasted on the
men who submitted to half the
penalty on Saturday and will suffer
the other half today.
The deterrent effect of this cor
poral punishment Is expected to be
instantaneous. Substantial citizens
whose humanity cannot be questioned
lave already advocated the use OF the
lash for highway robbers and other
banditry in Pennsylvania. New York
and Illinois. This change of view in
regard to the whipping post has
been brought about by the cynical
disregard of ordinary penalties which
the bandits have shown in their de-
fant careers OF crime in the metro
politan cities.
