MRS. G. J. BEWARE
The hearts of all in our community
were made sad Tuesday morning
when it was learned that Mrs. Lena
Benware, wife of George Benware,
had passed away. 1t was a great
shock to all as Mrs. Benware was
gaining rapidly and expected to sit up
that afternoon. Death was caused

at once and everything possible was
done but nothing availed. Mrs. Ben
ware married Mr.. Benware in 1909
and at once came here to reside, at
first living in the tenement over what
was known as the Cleveland store, but
after the fire in 1913 Mr.. Benware
built and they moved into their new
home. Their married life has been
an ideal one. Mrs. Benware was very
quiet in her ways and perfectly hap
py in her home life, a loving faith
full wife and a model mother. She
told a friend her happiness seemed
complete when the little son came into
the home. She united with the Con-
gregational church during the pas

c. c.
A. The views of the Patent once
are in accord with those of the scien-

subject, and are to the effect that
mechanical perpetual motion is a
physical impossibility. These views
can be rebutted only by the exhibit
ton of a working model. Many per-
sons have filed applications for pat
ents on perpetual motion, but such
applications have been rejected as
cooperative, and opposed to well
known physical laws, and in no In
stance has the requirement of the
Patent Office for a working model
been compiled with.

THE BETTER TIMES

When folks speak of good old times" their
minds run back to the decade between 1890 and
1900. They were the last years of the old Amer
lea. In those years no one was especially wor-
ried about social and economic problems.
Life ran in a fairly smooth groove. Eggs sold
for about IL cents a dozen and butter for a
quarter a pound. Millionaires were few. 1t
seemed easier to get along then than now.
But If the increase of 45o per cent in the num-
Der of high schools in the United States since
1890 means anything, it means that we are bet
ter off than that generation.
The tremendous increase of high schools must
DO Interpreted as indicating a wider distribution
Of prosperity and a consequent desire on the
part of parents to make the lives of their chill
dren richer than theirs were.
In the last generation the high school was
largely the well-to-do family's luxury. Today
1t is the preparatory school of the workers child
and for his benefit the modern city high school
has become a vocational training center.
In those days a workman could not afford
high school for his children. Today a orkman
cannot afford not to send his children to high
school.
Then many men liked to say that what was
good enough for them, was good enough for
their children Today most men say nothing Is
too good for their children.
The good old soft nineties gave us cheap but
1er and eggs, but the harder twentieth century
has sharpened our vision for self-improvement
and social betterment; has popularized higher
education and, through education, has enlarged
our needs. These needs cost us more ana make
us work harder than the simple needs OF the
easy nineties, but they are worth working for'
These are the better times.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.


It's pleasant to be living when
springtime has the floor, and ma
lures kindly giving the best she has
in store. The blue birds and the red
ones their lays triumphant sing; I'm
sorry for the dead ones VINO cant
enjoy the spring. It's pleasant TO
be tramping along the dewey void,
at early morning. lamping the beau
ties manifold. Oh, there are times
and seasons when woes my soul cx-
haust, and l have divers reasons for
thinking life a frost; when winter
winds are shaking the chimney and
the door, and rheumatism's making
each passing hour a bore; when
autumn transforms drizzle as though
they'd never quit. I feel that life's a
fizzle that ne'er will make a hit. But
springtime makes me grateful that l
am here to see, and any gent is hate
full who doesn't prance with me.
The people leave their couches to
greet the smiling morn. the kickers
and the grouches, the sickly and
f~orlorn; the hungry and the fed
ones. they form a merry ring; I'm
sorry for the dead ones who can't
enjoy the spring. But maybe they
are knowing a spring that
dies, where clouds are blowing
across the spangled skies: ana
maybe they are giving some thought
to us. and say, Were sorry for the
living-their spring must pass
away"

YORK columbia University is DESTROYS of ex-
tending its holdings in the Morningside Heights
section of the greater city. Time was when the
land could be bought by the university all the
way through to the Hudson river at a very NOM
jnaI sum. But the university thought it had
ample room, and, being short of funds, 1t let that
opportunity pass. Gradually the land all about
was secured by private interests and great mod
crn apartment houses have been erected all
about. Today, with the opportunity gone, CO.
lumbia realizes her mistake. To buy up all these
buildings and raze them is out of the question.
Commenting on this situation the Evening
World says:
1.-THE pity is such realizations. al
ways come too late. Today the city
is making the same mistakes in regard
to park property and city planning. In
another generation our children will be
telling of what might have BEEN and
regretting the lack Of foresight by those
in charge today"
The opportunity that is Perth Amboy's today
to build up a park system will never come again.
Eventually the city will have parks. to be sure,
but think what the property to be thus develop
ed will cost compared to what it can be secured
for today.
But what of the boys and girls now VINO are
being chased off the streets with nowhere to go?
All will admit that the street is no place to play.
1t is not only an annoyance and a detriment to
travel in these days of the automobile, but 1t is
dangerous for the children. But 1t is just as
natural for healthy, happy children to play as it
is for a fish to swim. Do we expect the boys
and girls of Perth Amboy to be unnatural?
Alderman Waters recently made an excellent
suggestion to the Board OF Aldermen regarding
the vacant property along Water street north OF
Smith street. He advocated securing permission
from the owners to have this land thrown open
to the children of the vicinity for play. Doubt
less, there are many other vacant lots In various
parts of the city that could be used in the same
way. Where there are not, it is the duty of the
city to secure the nearest available property for
the purpose in order that the boys and girls may
be able to obey the police and keep off the
streets with their play without being compelled
to stop playing.
Surely, Child Welfare Week ought to have its
lesson for Perth Amboy. Provide for the babies
and their mothers, of course. But do not for
get that 1t is a long time from babyhood to
manhood and womanhood, and during that time
the character of the future men and women is
determined.

THE FRANCHISE L
BY DIR. W. e. BARTON

There is a certain city where runs
a trolley line upon a street where the
trolley no longer pays expenses. Inc
traction company would like to pull
up its tracks from that street, and
would like TO plan to lay tracks upon
another street in a residential dis
trict.
But the city council and the resi-
dents of the street along which the
new line is proposed to be run OBJ
ject strenuously to the new track,
and insist that the company shall
fulfill its obligation as already as
sumed.
The company does it. but in this
fashion. Once a day a forlorn old
car, with fiat wheels and rickety
gear, runs from the car barns out
to the end of the line, and then turns
around and at it's convenience runs
back. This arrangement yields no
revenue, for not once a week, prob
ably. does the conductor ring up a
fare.
No n thinks Of riding upon that
line unless by some are chance he
happens to overtake the car going
in his own direction at a time when
he desires rest and is not pressed
for time. The car is operated as a
"franchise-holder" and nothing else.
am not sufficiently informed con
corning the merits of this particular
controversy to express any judgment
between the street car company and
the city.
But of this I am assured. the fran
chise-holding theory of street car
operation will not answer perman-
emily. Only for a little time, and as
a weapon. car it be tolerated. 1t
turns what should be a utility into an
irritation and a nuisance.
Moreover. the Notwithstanding
theory Of life must go. The idea
that a mans life is to be operated
on the basis of holding all that one
acquires and of rendering the least
possible service in return is not con-
fined to street car companies.
More and more good business as
well as good morals must rest on the
giving of the largest possible value
in service in return for what a man
takes out of the common wealth of
the town or state in which he lives

Among divers answers one recurs
most frequently, and point straight to
a need which. calls primarily for ed
ucation Georgia corn and other food
crops are not easily disposed Of in
commercial quantities, we are told,
because they are not standardized
not graded, not prepared for the mar
kets which otherwise would readily
absorb them. Georgia dealers would
prefer Georgia corn if they could pro.
cure it in carload lots of guaranteed
quality, properly packed for conven.

prefer Georgia peas, beans and veg
etables of every kind. But if there is

can buy, and scant assurance of what
they are buying, they are constrained
TO turn to sources of supply that are
regular and dependable
By no means is this true of all Geor-

cally not true. Georgia. peaches are
famed the nation over because they
are standardized, graded, packed and

Georgia pecans, Georgia cane syrup,

yams are all queens and kings Of the
market. Georgia apples, from well
managed orchards, enjoy a rare, wide
