RIPPING RHYMES
By Walt Mason
HIS WORST FOE

Ills
His own worst enemy" men
said. when Jasper Pifleton lay dead.
And Jasper, who would never save,
was dumped into a cheap-john
grave This Jasper, in his younger
days, ranged high among the glded
jays who drew big pay and blew the
same in every vain and idle game.
His friends beseeched him to reform
and guard against the day Of storm
by storing safely in a crate the ko-
peck and the piece-of-eight. The
village banker gave advice, and said,
Some day you'll lack the price;
then you'll regret. in scalding tears,
the folly of these wasted years." But
Jasper Piffleton ignored the wise
mans counsel, and vas bored. Then
countless jaspers lost their jobs; the
streets were full Of hungry mobs.
Our hero Joined the jobless men and
never could get back again. oh,
now and then he earned some
plunks, by painting gates or packing
trunks. or dumping turnips in a bin
and evermore he blew them in.
And when advancing years brought
ills, he could not buy Doc Dingbat's
pills, which heal all pains and raise
the dead and grow new whiskers on
your head. And so n bleak and
dismal day this Jasper gent was laid
away among the paupers on the
hill; the county dourly paid the bill.
His own worst foe," the sexton
sighed, and filed the grave. and let
him slide.

O D COSTS AND PRICES

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Suppose you wanted
an ocelot or a mountain lion, would you know
where to go to get it? Or suppose II IS an
imported white tailed deer you seek, a wild
cat, or a brown bear. Filling the demnad for
these and a hundred other wild and tame
animals on q wholesale scale is a curious bust
ness, but a thriving and fairly large one. There
are many business concerns in the United States
enga ged in the collection of animals from all
parts Of the globe, and their sale to private
individuals, circuses, and geological parks. A
number of these firms are located along the
Mexican border.
The biggest part of the business is the i'm
portation of canary birds. Before the begin
ming of the World War canaries were imported
into the United States at a rate of more than
a thousand a day. The record for one year was
reached shortly before the outbreak of the
war, when the government recorded the entry
of 392, 900 canaries.
Another bird item covers such game birds as
quail. pheasants, and wild turkeys. AS it is
contrary to law to trap any game birds In the
United States, birds for stocking private game
preserves must be imported or the shooting

A. The biting OF gnawing insects
are those which actually masticate

They include most of the injurious
larvae. many beetles, and the grass
hoppers. The sucking insects are
those which injure plants by the
gradual extraction Of juices from
the bark, leaves, or fruit, and in
clude the plant bugs, aphides, scale
insects, thrips, and plant-feeding
mites. These insects possess, instead
of biting jaws. sucking beaks or
bristles.

When we have said all that can
be said for heredity and environ-
ment, there is something in us that
either make or unmakes us. Char
acter is not wholly a matter Of en-
vironment.
Heredity is a potent force, but it
can be %outgrown. Environment is
a help Or a hindrance, but it alone
does good or bad, a failure Or a
success.
The first and permanent element
is the man himself.

Surely, we have heard OF the IA
nous twins born in Siam and exhib-

together in such fashion that it wat
never judged safe to cut them apart;
And so they live to manhood.
They married and each had chill
dren. One OF the twins died, and
the other lived several dreadful

There are people who believe that
all the character we have is con-
structed out OF our hereditary traits
and our experiences: that inherit
lance and our environment make us.
If that is SO. twins ought to be
more alike than they are.
But twins. ordinary twins. though
born at the same birth, and having
identical hereditary introduction in
to life, do not live together every day

drift apart.

argument in this direction could be shown from
the fact that of all the freight coming into the
port of New York, about 10 per cent, Ii transit
freight, and the other 80 per cent. for local
distribution. By means of terminal warehouses
at Perth Amboy and with the belt line railroad
in operation, this transit freight could he
received in Perth Amboy and distributed here
as we'll as any other point in the metropolitan
district.
A glance at the map of New York Harbor
showing the waterfront reveals how utterly
unprogressive is the present plan of concen-
tration OF commerce. 1t can be easily seen that
if New York Harbor is going to be able to carry

development work must be done. To take care
Of this growing business and to compete with
the advantages offered by other ports for the
handling of interior and western freights is a
problem engaging the attention of port authori-
ties and bringing about a union of effort to
meet the expanding needs of this port for larger
and more completely co-ordinated receiving,
handling and shipping facilities.
There is only one way in which to extend
the development of the New York Harbor
and that is in the direction of Perth Am
boy. In this city steps should be taken to
get what is coming to Perth Amboy. A united
effort by affiliated bodies. municipal. civic and
otherwise, should be started to impress upon
the port officials the advantages and oppor-
tunities awaiting development in this direction.
There is work for the city officials to do. the
Chamber of Commerce and the various water
way organizations. The City Plan Commission
will have an important part to play in the
coming development. The aid Of county officials
and organizations should be solicited in this

city's future interests are at stake. When
the development of the local projects come,
Perth Amboy should be ready. The city officials

The only way this can be done Is by CO.

Practical Work for
Delaware's Blind

There are 219 blind persons on the
visiting list of the Delaware Commits
sion for the Blind. To these untor-
tunate men, women and children, the
Commission, in the name of the State,
opens the door of opportunity for
greater interest in life in spite OF
their tremendous handicap; and IN
MANY cases for self-supporting oc-
cupation. A young woman educated
through the efforts of the Commission
at the Peabody Institute OF Baltl-
more, has become so proficient IN
music that she is able to give lessons
on the piano to private pupils. A
Young man has completed his second
ary education and is now enrolled as
a student at the University OF Della
ware. Miss Duncan former superln-
tendent of the Delaware Hospital,
who lost her sight as the result of her
untiring activities of war service and
in the influenza epidemic, has found
days less tedious in the working at
mosphere of the Blind Shop with its
library of books for the blind.
The Commission, by mention OF
these and other individual stories OF
effort and help lin the quarterly re-
port just published, has undoubtedly
brought to the public closer realiza-
ton of it's work. Both the work and
the point of view of the Commission
are clearly set forth:
