Greeting Mackay;
Sheriffs Praise Him

Scotty's Neptune Heights Pavilion
at Avon was the Mecca for the Sher-
ifs from many of New Jerseys coun-
ties on last Saturday. Sheriff Wal
ter H. Gravatt of Monmouth county
was the host and his deputy, Norman
V. Pash, acted as POSTMASTER.
The speeches by Sheriffs Wilson of
Essex, kinzley Of Bergen and Gravatt
were along official lines pertaining to
the solution of the many problems
Sheriffs confront in the discharge of
their duties also of the economy and
wisdom of the proposed amendment t.
the constitution of the state, which
would place the office of Sheriff on the
same term plane as that of Surrogates
and County Clerks.
rousing reception was accorded
Senator William B. Mackay, Jr., of
Bergen, who was present when Deputy
Pash announced him as the next Gov
ernor. The Senator was the guest of
honor. He impressed the gathering

WOMEN TO Be DRAWN ON JURY PANEL
OF BERGEN COUNTY FOR FIRST Time;
THIRD ON PETIT, FEWER ON GRAND

Unless Dame Fortune frowns Bergen
county is quite certain Of a liberal
sprinkling of the fair sex in its jury
panels for the September term.
Sheriff Kinzley says that out of the
300 metal numerals which go into the
box for the selection of the grand jury
% will correspond with woman en-
rolled. In the petit jury list the per-
centage is heavier. Out of the 500 in
the box for the petit list 1859 will call
for woman.
The drawing for the new term, the
first in the history of the county and
state, where women share equally the
jury responsibility of men, will take
place in the common pleas courtroom
on August 80. This ceremony is in
open court and heretofore attracted lit
tie or no attention, but it is likely that
the selection of women will cause quite
a gathering when the judge, county
clerk, sheriff and their aids make the
drawings for this mixed panel.

WheW! What a
Lot O. Names
in One Breath

Ocean Grove, Aug. 23.-Why did the
International Sporting Club, chief pro
moter of prize fighting, stage the re-
cent anti-blue law parade in New York
city? DR.. Wilbur F. Crafts, reformer
extraordinary and superintendent of
the Reform Bureau, took up this ques-
ton and answered it at a meeting in
the Auditorium Sunday afternoon.
THAT parade" said DIR. Crafts, rep
resenting as history book Of Tory lies
about the Connecticut Sunday in the
days of Revolution, was a plain notice
to us all that this foreign club would
try to get Sunday prize fights by ter
rorizing Sabbath defenders. Secondly,
it was an evidence of the federation
of anti-prohibitionists pugilists, gam
blers, vampire eXploiters and Sunday
profiteers in a league of commercial
lied vices and commercialized politics
to destroy American ideals, American
laws and American customs in behalf
of foreigners who desire to devote sew
en- days week to the degrading self
ishneSs of the miser and the prodigal."
DR.. Crafts challenged any one to
name a case in all history where a
lie without the least foundation had
swept the country like "fiu" cpl
demic as did the lie about drastic ma
tional Sunday law pending at Wash
ington that would revive the ancient
blue laws all over our land. when IN
fact there has been no national Sun
day law of any kind pending for a
quarter of century" He said 1a-
proposed to hale some of the liars to
court and make them prove their
charge or take the consequences.

West Side People
Want Gas Pipes

About fifty residents of Jassamine
Way and Lincoln avenue met on Tues
day evening at borough hall, Cliff
side, to confer over a proposal to
get gas pipes introduced in that sec
tion. The gas people think the popula-
ton is not large enough for them to
lay pipes because the revenue would
not be enough to produce a profit on
the outlay. They named a figure that
would insure the pipes, but it would
require private capital and the resi-
dents cold not see it, and some of
them were indignant and said so. 1t
was said that last year the company
said it would put in pipes along Jassa-
mine Way for 1915, and now they
want $500. The meeting was full of
feeling that did not mind expressing
itself.

Bah Jove! And
Egad! But
This Is Rich!

Policemen should take off their
caps and talk pleasantly to persons
whom they arrest, according to Abra-
ham Depkins, of New York, who
was arrested by Motorcycle Officer
Webb of the Englewood Police De-
Pertinent for disregarding traffic
3fsnaf set against him. Bra Depkins
didn't go so far as to say a police
man should bow to his prisoner, but
intimated as much.
When brought to the police station
Mr.. Depkins' feathers were decidedly
ruffled. He declared he had not been
in the habit of being ordered about.
He said he should be treated as a
gentleman, even if he was under ar
rest. He said in his belief every Of
ticer should be made to doff his cap
when speaking to gentlemanly
prisoner. He indicated to Officer
Webb how the cap should be held
even, striking pose with the cap
held over the left breast.
And not only that, but he promised
he would make it uncomfortable for
the police officer, threatening to get
a lawyer and to start some sort of
proceeding or other. But then the
funny part of it all came out in court
when his case was called. He was
bluffing right through, believing that
he could intimidate the Englewood
police. He did not show up in court
and forfeited his bail of ten dollars.
In pointing out to the officer that
politeness was one of the great vir
tues, however, the worthy prisoner
forgot himself to practice it.-Record.

To Soften Skins.

There are two simple ways of soft

TO rub in thoroughly neat's-foot oil.
The other is to dissolve three ounces
of alum, seven ounces of salt and one

Gent hot rain water to deturate the
skin. When cool enough not to scald
the hands soak the skin in it for IL
hours; wiring out and hang up to dry
When dry repeat this operation two or

COTTON ACREAGE CUT
FAILED DESPITE PLEAS
CROP REPORTING CHIEF SAYS
INCREASED PLANTING Elk
PLAINS ESTIMATE MADE.

Southern planters refused to reduce
the cotton acreage, and the result IS q
much larger crop than was expected
by earlier estimates
This is the statement OF Nat e;
Murray, chief OF crop reporting board
of the department OF agriculture.
Strong propaganda last spring to
cut the cotton acreage 80 to 50 per
cent seems to have fallen on deaf
ears" said Mr.. Murray.
The department OF agriculture's es-
innate of $4,000 bales in the present
crop. OF course, is much larger than
the trade expected. ~
The facts are that 100000 more
acres were sown by cotton planters
than was anticipated by the estimates
some months ago. Last year the acre
age was 36000,000. This year it IS
100000.
"At all events the cotton harvested
this year will be the smallest crop
since 1895. There were many untavor-
able conditions during the season.
