MOTOR LICENSES READY
Early Application VIII Expedite Fur
Their More Requirements

Distribution of 1922 automobile Ii
censes and car tags from the various
agencies is now in progress.
Applications for the licenses and
the tags should be made early so as
to avoid confusion around the first of
the year. Agent Simon Cunningham
a a goodly supply on hand and will
De ready for you il you step into his
office.
Several new laws which become ac-
tive January LIST will affect the motor
list obtaining his 1922 plates and
drivers license. He will find this year
that 1t will be necessary to have an
affidavit attached to every application
for a drivers license. All the State
motor vehicle inspectors have been
made notary publlcs, so that the mo-
torist should have little difficulty in
this respect. The important thing is
to be certain that all facts contained
in the license application are correct.
A new scale OF fees for passenger
cars becomes effective. Heretofore
there were three classes, the fees of
which were $3.50, $3.50 and SIS re-
spectively. Under the new law license
tags will cost in proportion to the
horsepower rating of the car, a fee of
forty cents per horsepower being col
lected for cars up and including
twenty-nine horsepower and a fee of
fifty cents per horsepower for cars of
thirty horsepower II above. Car
wner will find that the cost of new
licenses will be somewhat higher than
last year.
Another item the motorist should
become acquainted with before the
first of the year is that it will be lille
gal to drive with lamps burning
greater than twenty-four candle
power. Truck drivers should bring
with them certified weight slips for
examination by inspectors. AS in
former years Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner Dill urges motorists to obtain
their licenses early. More than $780,
900 copies of the new laws are being
prepared for distribution at the agen-
cies and motorists are advised to OBJ
tain a copy and become familiar with
the new statutes.

Shake Thrice Daily

Don't make the mistake of shaking
down your furnace too often. Three
time a day is often enough. Some
times twice-early in the morning and
late in the afternoon, will do.
Don't shake live Goals through the
CRATE. That wastes coal. When the
weather is mild, it won't hurt to
leave an accumulation of ashes on the
CRATE.
But never let ashes accumulate in
the ash pit under the CRATE. That
chokes your fire. Clean out the pit
Immediately after you're through
shaking down the fire.
Accumulation of ashes in ash pits
ruin your furnace CRATES, besides
wasting coal. If the fire doesn't get
enough air, the iron CRATES get soft
and warp. -,
Don't shake down your fire until
it's had time to catch. When you at
tend to the fire in the morning open
the smoke-pipe draft damper and ash
pit draft damper, throw on some fresh
coal and wait till the fire burns
briskly. Then shake it down.
Don't disturb your fire continually
by poking and upturning unless that's
necessary to prevent formation OF
clinkerS.
The Penn's Grove record., 1921-12-09
To Get The Most Out of Coal

You'll have to keep one eye on your
furnace all the time this winter to
escape the hardships a coal famine
may bring.
The old method was to fire the fur
mace and let it burn until the house
became uncomfortably hot Or cold,
then rush into the cellar, fix the fire
and let it go again.
That system won't go if you want
to get the greatest possible value out
of your coal.
Look at your fire at least three
times a day. Give it attention when
you get up in the morning, when you
come home in the evening and before
you go to bed at night.

A Farmers High Living P~erplexity

A Farmers High Living PerpleXity
81 was happy during the a My

were necessary on the farm. Every
thing | owned nearly doubled in value.
| got big prices for what l raised and
my bank account grew rapidly. | gave
up my Ford and bought a $4,000 auto
mobile, a $2500 truck and $4,000 trac-
tor. | replenished my dairy herd
with twenty cows which cost me owe
$4,000. | was able to pay $4,000 in
cash on these purchases and expected
to pay off notes given for the balance
in 1920-21, with money to spare to
reduce or pay entirely the $4,000 mort
gage on my farm. l am disappointed.
l still W the notes in bank, my
mortgage is not reduced, my cows will
not now bring over $1,000, my tractor
$500, my touring car $500, in trade,
my truck about $500. In addition to
high taxes l have had to pay 6 per
cent. on notes and mortgage, and
while crops have been good, it ap-
pears to me that | am worse off today

had a good time, all of the family.

10000 miles and its costs to travel.
We have become accustomed to living
high, and l do not see how we can
change unless the sheriff takes a
hand. l still have my crop of corn
and wheat, but cannot sell at more
than the cost of producing. My
wheat would have brought $500 in
war time, but not more than
$500 now; and my corn would have
been worth about $4,000, while now l
am offered only about $500. What

The trouble with this farmer, like
thousands of others, wa that he did
not pay off his mortgage and sported
on what he did not own, thinking the
boom would last. What can he do?

JERSEY SEED POTATOES BEST
Home Grown White Potatoes Taking
The Place of Maine Seed

Jersey grown late crop seed pota-
toes, believed by many farmers to be
the equal of the long famous strain
of seed produced in Maine and North
ern New York, will feature the potato
exhibit in connection with the New
Jersey Farm Products Show at Tren-
ton in January. For several years
leading agriculturists have believed
the potato seed for growing Jerseys
great crops could be satisfactorily
raised at home, and the fact that this
is now being done on a commercial
basis is regarded as an important de-
velopment toward further improve
ment of crop production in this branch
of the farming business.
Under encouragement of the De-
partment of Agriculture more than a
thousand acres of late seed were
grown in the State this year. To get
the seed Jersey farmers procured
high-grade certified stock and held it
in cold storage until the middle of
July when it was planted. The young
tubers We're dug while the vines were
still green in October, thus procuring
seed of the same vigor that has char
~acterized stock from the short season
counties of northern States.
A considerable portion of this New
Jersey seed has been certified by the
State Department of Agriculture for
freedom of disease and purity of va
riety. The bankers of Cumberland
and Salem Counties, where most of
the seed has been grown, are offering
a handsome cup at the show for the
best display of seed raised in those
counties.
Several counties are arranging eX-
hibits for the general potato show,
which will be staged at the armory
in Trenton during the week of Janu-
airy 1911. Mercer County took the
trophy last year and will meet stiff
competition in its efforts to hold it
this winter. Fred Gardner, of Rob
binsville, is chairman of the Potato
Exhibit Committee.
