FERRY ACTION
At So. AMB0Y
Application for Franchise to
be Acted Upon at a Spe-
ciaI Meeting

SOUTH AMBOY. Oct. 5-Formal
application for a franchise to estab-
lish a ferry service between this
city and Staten Island. was received
last night at a meeting of the COM
mon council from the Highland
Navigation Company. The applica-
ton which was signed by Daniel f.
McAllister. president of the Naviga-
tion Company, was presented by
Captain John J. Scully of this city
who has been busy during the past
several months looking over a suita-
BILE landing place for the proposed
ferry. The application outlined the
principles involved in securing a
franchise from a city.
Bordentown avenue seems to
have met with the approval of the
officials as Well as others in the city
as the suitable place for the land
ing of the ferry here, but as it
would be necessary to build a dock
which would mean the outlay of
considerable money, the Navigation
Company suggested the site known
as the city dock at the foot of Hem
ry street be selected for the dock
ing of the boat. The company sug-
gested also that city donate what
is left of the old dock which they
would rebuild and maintain. They
desired a fifty year franchise.
Should the Henry street PROPOSE
tion meet with the favor of the city
officials, it will mean that traffic to
and from the boat will have to use
the grade crossing of the New York
and Long Branch Railroad. but
should the proposed depression or
elevation Of the tracks through this
city be realized in short time. it
would do away with the grade cross
ing. The Bordentown avenue right
of way. is no doubt the ideal route
for the proposed ferry. but due to
the added expense of building a suit
able dock for the boat. it is thought
that it would probably hasten the
ferry service if it ran from the foot
of Henry street.
At the suggestion of Councilman

All Of a day and night and part OF
another day Peter Rabbit was kept
a prisoner in hollow log in the Green
Forest. He was kept prisoner by
Prickly Porky the Porcupine, and there
was nothing Peter could do about it,
My. how slowly time did drag! Peter
couldn't recall ever having been so
uncomfortable for so long. And there
was nothing he could do about it. No,
SIR, there was nothing he could do
about it.
You see, he had crept into that hol-
low log for nap because he had
stayed over IN the Green Forest until
1t was broad daylight and then hadn't
Meadows to the dear Old Briar-patch.
And while he had slept the weather
had changed and storm had come up
Prickly Porky had crept into the very
same hollow log for shelter from the
storm, not knowing that Peter was
already in there. Not that it would
have made any difference if he had
known. 1t wouldn't. Prickly Porky is
one OF those people who have become
selfish through independence. He i,
so Independent that he does just what
1T pleases him to do.
With Prickly Porky curled up in that
old log Peter couldn't get out. You
geo, there wasn't room for Peter to
pass. Furthermore, it was only bv
squeezing as far back in the end Of
that old log as he could that Peter
could keep away from the thousand
little spears in Prick'v Porkys coat
The result was that Peter was most
uncomfortable. Those sharp little
spears we're so close that he didn't dare
change his position for fear he would
get some OF them in him.
Outside the snow hssed down
through the trees and rough Brother
North Wind howled and roarcd. Inside
Prickly Porky slept and Peter Rabbit
wanted to sleep, but didn't dare to, so he
tried and tried TO think Of some way
to get out and couldn't. At first he
blamed Prickly Porky for all his
trouble.
"Hc had no business to come in here
when / was here" muttercd Peter. "Hc
did it purposcly. / know he did. He
- hateful. That Is what he is-hatc-
full"
But Peter In fair-rnindcd. and after
a little he felt weo bit ashamed Of
such thoughts. He knew that prob
ably Prickly Porky was in the habit
of using that old hollow log In bad
Weather and that he regarded 10 as
bis own. Hs knsw. too. that probably

Palisades Suicide Victim
Was Wife of Contractor
Englewood Builder Claims Body
of Woman Found With Her
Throat Slashed

The body Of the woman found in the
woods at Englewood Cliff, N. J.. on
New Years Day with her throat cut
and q razor in her right hand, has
been identified as that of Emma Z,
Brown, wife of George H. Brown, a con
tractor and builder, of as West Palisade
Avenue, Englewood.
The identification was made after the
body had been removed to Greenleaf's
Morgue in Englcwood, where Mrs.
Brown was known to a great many
people. Mr. Greenlcaf said Mrs. Brown
was known to him personally. but he
did not at first recognize the body.
The medical examiner and police Of
Englewood are convinced that Mrs.
Brown killed herself, but they know no
motive for the act, except the sugges-
tion of her husband that it was the re-
suit of a nervous condition from which
she had been suffering.
Mr. Brown was irr Philadelphia when
the body was found. His wife was to
have met him in Englewood on Thurs
day evening to come to New York for
supper and the theater. She failed to
appear. When Mrs. Brown had been
missing day Mr.. Brown went to Phila-
delphia to learn if she had gone there
to visit relatives. Mr.. Brown returned
last night to claim the body.
Mrs. Brown was forty years old. She
had no children.

Peter Rabbit.

Prickly Porky hadn't known that any
one was in there, and this happened to
be the truth. So. after all the only
thing hateful in Prickly Porky was his
refusal to let Peter out. And as Peter
listened to the storm outside he didn't
wholly blame Prickly Porky for not
being willing to go out even long
enough to let him out.
1t seemed to Peter that that storm,
never would end. Every hour seemed
as long as whole day. 1t gave him
plenty of time to think Yes, sir. it
gave Peter plenty of time to think.
And after he got over his first ugly
thoughts he began to see things as they
really were.
1T is all my own fault" thought
feter. u may as we'll admit it. If l
had remained at home in the dear Old
brar-patch. as Mrs. Peter wanted me
10, wouldn't be in this trouble. But
here am, md I've got to make the
best Of it. I've learned one thing anv-
way, and that is that it often is easy
10 get into place and hard to get out
again Hereafter nobody will catch
Peter Rabbit in a place from which
there IS only one way out. I've learned
my lesson. Yes stree. I've learned nv
lesson. No more hollow logs for me
unless they are open at both ends
Ouch, how stiff anil Will this storm
never end?"

HUGE SLAUGHTER OF SNAKES
Missouri Hunter Hangs Up Record
When One Shot From Rifle Takes
Lives of Fourteen.

Emmence, Mo- Tom Freeman of
this city is the champion snake killer
Of this part of Missouri and has hung
up record that other folks can shoot
at for a while. 1t might not be amiss
10 mention that Freeman made the
unusual record with the aid of his
trusty shooting iron, a rife.
Fourteen reptiles were .lid low with
one shot from the rifle of Freeman
and the warm weather of the present
month was big factor in the ami
hilation of the snakes.
Freeman says he found tangled
mass on log in Al river near here
while on hunting expedition and
upon closer examination discovered
that it was made up of several scores
of snakes that had gotten twisted to-
gether in some ineXplicable manner.
He fired into the bunch and the whole
sale slaughter of fourteen followed.
A number of them, although badly
wounded, succeeded in crawling away.

MINISTERS BILKED
BY MINISTER'S SON
Touching Story of Hard Luck
Lo0sens PoCketbooks of Chi

Chcago.-The story of the good
Samaritan relates how the beneficiary
of his Kindness was set upon by the
sling shot men of the time and licked
to a fragile. The man of Samara
comes along, gets taxi, takes the
victim to a hotel, pays for his room
and bath and disappear
The strong likelihood that Mr..
Samaritan didn't get three blocks
from the hotel before the Jerusalem
jack-rOllers began pounding on his
skull with pieces of pavement is over
looked.
Here is the Rev. Richard D. Hughes,
for instance. A few days ago suave
young man visited Mr.. Hughes, pastor
of the Emerald Avenue Presbyterian
church, at his residence, 6716 Emerald
avenue. He said he was a minister's
son.
He told the hev. Mr.. Hughes a
touching story of hard luck and asked
prayer. Instead the minister gave him
mOney-and prayer.
The case was SO touching Mr..
Hughes mentioned 1t to the Rev.
George Il. Blair, pastor of the Engle-
wood Methodist church. of 445 Engle-
wood avenue.
"Why," explained the Rev. Mr.. Blair.
THE same young man told the same
story to me. | gave him money, too"

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM One WHO KNOWS
Tells Why Pocomoke Should Have
A Direct Marketing System.

For some time our farmers have
felt the need of better system for
marketing their produce especially
those things which should reach the
consumer perfectly fresh. 1t is ap-
parent to every thoughtful citizen
that the present method is unsatis-
factory and wasteful. Therefore it is
unnecessary to dwell upon that phase
Of the subject.
The purposes of this article is to
explain system which is already in
successful operation in many towns
and cities.
The plan is this: The farmers pro-
cure central or convenient place
where they bring their produce on
certain days. For various reasons the
market is open only short time i'll
the morning, often from Z to 10 a. nj.
Here the householder or his wife come
with basket and purse, select what
they need till next market day; eX-
change greetings with their friends;
and return to their homes assured
that they have at least obtained the
best that the market could offer or
their money could buy.
Market over, the farmer transacts
business in town and with other far
mers; buys his supply of groceries,
etc.; and goes home feeling that he
has had fair chance to sell what he
has worked to produce.
The benefits of this system are
many. It brings producer and con-
sumer together. The farmer has an
opportunity to offer his products to
those who are interested without loss
cf time. The city woman knows just
where to look for what she wishes TO
obtain in order to provide healthful
variety Of food at reasonable cost. On
every prosperous farm there is sur
plus of butter, eggs, milk, vegetables,
fruit and many extras that the far
mer's wife knows how to produce, and
the city woman longs to obtain.
Where these things can be sold III
market, it means welcome money to
the farmers family, increased trade
for the merchant and grocer; and
good food in more variety, with less
cost, to the consumer.
A good marketing system will help
solve the problem Of how to keep the
boys and girls on the farm. 1t will.
help the boys and girls who are do
ing club work to sell their products.
If they can attend market, they will
learn not only how to produce, but al
so how to market and sell.
Where this system has been long
established, it has been an active fac
tor in building up thriving com
munity of prosperous and therefore
contentod people.
This is not "Get-rich-quick" plan.
1t J.. "A system by which the farmer
can sell direct to the consumer in a
business like way. 1t is not a new
method. 1t has proved to be a good
thing for other towns. 1t will be a
good thing for Pocomoke if properly
conducted.

ployer testified that he had found Pat

woman friend stepped up to comfort
her. "Oh, now, Katherine" she said,
"don't take on so. Just think what a
