COUPE FOR COUNTY OFFICIAL.

We note that the county supervisor of roads
is now going to ride about the county in a
high-priced coupe instead of a fivver. Just why
there should be all this lavish display of wealth
on the part of the freeholders in the matter
Of equipping the road supervisor with an au-
tcmobile is not known. The county board Is
always crying for more money. and when 1t
does not want to grant some particular request
the reason usually given is that there are no
funds.
There are hundreds OF taxpayers in Middle
sex county who are perfectly satisfied to ride
about in a Ford car and there are thousands
more who would be tickled to death to have
one. Yet, for the servants of these people
nothing less than a coupe costing s2,165 will
do. But then, OF course. the dignity of the
county has got to be upheld and probably the
treeholders consider it entirely too plebeian for
such an august parsonage as a road supervisor
20 be seen running around the county in a
flivver.
But the supervisor of roads has to traverse
all kinds OF highways. If he attends to his
duties properly he cannot always stick to the
permanently paved thoroughfares. Then. again,
there may be occasions when he will have to
travel about in real stormy and muddy weather.
That being the case. there is a possibility that
he will have to keep a fivver in reserve to
help pull his handsome. big coupe, which the
taxpayers. through the generosity of the free
holders, have now provided him with out of
trouble.
1t is a well know fact that men Of great
wealth who own several high-priced cars in
variably have a Ford in their garage to be used
in winter or spring when the larger and heav-
Ter cars would get stuck in the snow and mud.
The fivver can go where one would not think
of attempting to take a larger, heavier car.
That is just the reason why we would think a
Ford was the ideal car for a county road super
visor-in fact the ideal car for all county Off
Gals. There is little Indication Of economy
nywhere in handling public funds as long as
money is spent so l~avishins on high-priced
automobiles.

THE THREE HIS.

Whatever else may be said Of Mr.. Harding
eabinet It must be admitted that with the ac-
ression of Herbert Hoover as secretary or COM
merca the President-elect has formed a tri-
,uvirate composed Of himself, Mr.. Hughes
and Mr.. Hoover of which much is to be ex-
pected.
nv insisting upon having both Mr.. Hughes
and Mr.. Hoover in the cabinet Mr.. Harding
has shown that he has a mind OF his W ano
a. not going to be dictated to altogether. NC
doubt he wants TO work as smoothly as posi-
bic with his former colleagues in the senate
but he is going TO insist that he is TO De
tba President. With such men as Hughes ana
Hoover at his elbow for constant conference
ana advice there is every reason to believe
that he will be able to maintain his position
In spite of the great odds against him.
That there are weak spots in the cabinet
there is no doubt. Even Mr.. Harding recog-
nizes them Judging from the vigorous manner
in which he has come TO the defense of some
of his appointees. But perhaps the public had
come to expect too much. II they did 1t was
Mr.. Harding's own fault because he gave the

But with such strong personalities as Charles

the official family the country can well afford tc

ability. II Mr.. Harding will work with Hughes

coon WORK CLEARING STREETS.

Excellent work was done by the city in handl-
ing the snow that fell in the recent storm.
1t was an unusually heavy fall and left the
streets in pretty bad shape. BY going right
after It. however, the main streets were soon
cleared. In the business sections of Smith and
state streets one would never have known by
the end of last week that there has been any
snow at all.
Particularly good work was done in clear
ing the sidewalks. Whether because there had
not been any snow before this winter and prop
erty owners were therefore ready to go at It
with a vim. we do not know. but the fact is
that most of the sidewalks we're in good con-
dition shortly after the storm and 1t was pos
sible to walk most anywhere in the built-up
sections of the city on dry payements.
Here and there where there IS an empty lot
the snow remained until the rain yesterday
much to the detriments of the residents in the
vicinity. 1t would seem that where there is
such a general effort to clean the sidewalks
the few who refuse to do so ought to have the
work done for them and be charged for the
expense. Perhaps If a few of the property own-
crs who have vacant property which they are
for a handsome profit when real estate
booms again. found, upon receipt of their tax
bills, that two or three dollars had been added
for cleaning sidewalks of snow, these delin-
ouent property owners would be a little more
thoughtful in the future and when there is a
fall Of snow they would see to It that the
walks in front of whatever property they own
are cleared before the city has a chance to
pile up the expense for them.
It is only fair to the rest of the property
owners that the few who refuse to perform
this service for the public have It done for
them at their expense.
Taking the city as a whole. however. there
has seldom been an instance when the city
has been put in such fine shape so quickly af-
ter a heavy fall OF snow. The city officials are
to be congratulated on the excellent work done.

of a man whose work is always,

For years 1 went to Grocer Gregg's
TO buy my prunes and cheese and
eggs: / went ten thousand times, or
more, and wore a path around his
store. till every board l could recall,
and every nailhead in the wall. And
when each month of trade was done.
| always paid him hand made mon.
and never said Please chalk ii
down until my goat m back to
town" Then, for a change. / bought
my goods, my prunes and cheese, at
Grocer Woods. l thought I'd trade
there for a while. since change of
base is all the style. and then return
to Gregg's once nor as in the fes-
tive days of yore. But, meeting
Gregg upon the street. and giving
him a greeting sweet, he handed me
a frozen stare, as grouchy as a griz-
ely bear. oh, he was sore and fun
of bile because / left him for a
while; he seemed to think he owned
my soul and had a mortgage on my
roll. The good old years will roll
away, and whiskers red will change
to gray, and dynasties will rise and
burst and bow-wows turn to wiener
wurst before l go to Gregg's again
to blow my -hard-earned iron men.

himself habitually lying awake at
night and who begins to be alarmed?
First, let him assume that If he Is
getting less sleep than usual. ne
probably needs less than he some-
times has needed.
In the second place, let him not
waste the time that he lies awake.
Let him learn to be good company
for himself Let him recall h best
poetry he knows. and see II he re-
members it all. Let him forget that
he is trying to go to sleep. and think
of things at he likes to think about.
Let not those things be the cares
and worries of the day. He can
shut them out, and one OF the best
ways to become really interested in
something quite remote from them.
Lei him ride his hobby in the hours
when he has nothing, else to do.
When there is not grist between
the mill-stones. the stones grind
themselves. That is-what happens
when a man lies and says, "Oh. how
I wish 1 could go to sleep!! / shall
be a wreck tomorrow" He surely
will. If he goes at it in that fashion.

O. Is it possible to make a fabric
alright without the use of rubber?
L. i. II.
A. All kinds of cloth have to be
~rubberized to make them alright.
O. What is cash credit ?"-B. NJ.

which the borrower may draw
against by check.
Q. What is Craigleith stone?-l.
NJ. C.
A.This is . ~siliceous sandstone.
belonging to the Carboniferous Sc
ries, quarried at Craigleith. near
Edinburgh. 1t is largely used in
which it is admirably adapted by its
purity, durability and the ease with
which it can be wrought.
@. Who is the leading character
in the Bible &C. c.
A. The leading character in the
Bible is God, personifed on earth
in his Son, Jesus Christ. The Old
Testament prepares for and
prophesies the developments which
occur in the New Testament after
the birth of Christ.
@. How thin can gold be made?
i. NJ.
A. Gold is beaten and made into
gold leaves having a thickness OF
about 1000. 000th of an inch. An
ounce of gold is thus. extended to a

may be obtained, but is not prac-
teal.
O, Is there a soapfish 1T. G. w.
A.The soapfish, which is so-called

@. Is it true that If wheat is planted
in a cold. wet and clammy soil 1t
will degenerate into chess?-E 5.
C.
A. According to a scientist Of the
New York State College of Agricul-
ture: Probably the first settler
who planted a wheat field in Amer
lea sowed some seeds of chess with
it and the practice still continues.
Some farmers believed that wheat
changed into chess as it grew. but
1t is needless to say that such a
miracle never happened. The two
| plants are not even closely related
but belong 10 quite different tribes
in the grass family, and each comes
true from its own seed"

Luke McLuke Says

1t may seem paradoxical. But it is hard for
a woman to live happily with her husband
unless she quarrels with him every day or two.
Many a man discovers the right woman only
to discover that he is the wrong man.
Advertising your Business builds 1t up and
adds to it. And advertising your Troubles has
the same effect.
A Bully gets through life because he knows
that most people would rather be imposed upon
than indulge in a row.
1t is safe enough to pay a Young Thing mean
ingless compliments. But don't monkey with a
Widow unless you mean business.
Even when she is as shapely as a bed Stat,
a girl just naturally loves her Figure.
The cheapest thing in the world is Happiness.
And yet 40 out of so can't afford it.
Patience isn't a Virtue when your neighbor
is so patient that he waits for the Sun TO shovel
off his sidewalk after a big snow.
