SPIDER ATTRACTED BY MUSIC
According to oreanist, He Was Always
Sure of One Listener When
ever He Played.

An organist, telling of his experi-
ences while playing the great instru-
ment in Boston hall, relates a pref
~ story of his most regular listener
"A spider that had taken up his abode
i'm the organ case over the performers
head. II remained there for about
year.
1t was musical little fellow, and
when the man began to play II would
spin down almost TO level with his
shoulder and gently swing to and fro
and listen., When he had finished O
piece 1t would draw itself up 10 its
nest. and when he began another,
down IL would come again and resume
It's position as an interested listener.
1t had six legs. Two 1t put out in
the air as balance pole, two II
handled the web with, and the third
pair II used in pulling itself up hand
over hand, as sailors climb rope.
The organist came at last to watch
for the little fellow, and II was always
faithful, so that he was sure OF Mt
least one attentive and appreciative
listener.

Agriculture. Growers, it is said,
should exercise care in picking and
the fruit will be unbroken, otherwise
they will reach the consumer In poor

Cherries that are TO be shipped by
parcel post should be picked by grasp
ing the stem and not the cherry, and
many cherries should not be held in
the hand at one time, as this will crush
or bruise the fruit and allow the en-
trance of fungi, causing decay or mold.
Empty the cherries carefully, into the
shipping container from the vessel In
which they are picked, so as to avoid
injury to the fruit.
For shipping cherries by parcel post,
ventilated crate is recommended.
The shipping weight of cherries is
about the same as that of strawber-
ries. Experiments have shown that 1t
is practicable, from a physical stand
point, to ship cherries by parcel post

Specialists In the United States De

Loyalty Is Essential.
THE membership should be open TO

the members and their interest in the
organization, the high standards they
maintain, and their distinct under

failure of more than one cooperative
organization, and 1t Is a weakness
which can be remedied only by the
members themselves.

Public health and so- cial welfare workers have watched with keen interest the work conduct ed for children in preventoriums re- gently established for children in other states. The time required for restoring a child to normal health varies from two months to two years and in some cases where the family of the child cannot contribute at all toward the expense of caring for the child the expense is necessarily great.
 But what of that" said Miss Free land, when compared to the red, round cheeks of health that take the place of the hectic flush of fever, What matters the expenditure of S100 or more upon the child when we se- cure normal weight and the restora- tion of happy dispositions instead of the irritability that comes with sick ness, and when eventually we are able to send the child home absolutely well and prepared to take up his or her studies in preparation for a life of usefulness. Then, again, in our campaign on tuberculosis we all fully realize that the adult active case of tuberculosis must receive attention. Proper home comforts must be pro- vided for the welfare of the patient as well as for the protection of other members of his or her household.

Club Women Of Phoenix To Sell Christmas Seals Next Two Weeks

Funds secured from the sale of the Christmas seals in this clty will be used for support of anti tuberculosis activities conducted from the county health center at 300 East Adams street.
 In speaking of the plans for the work to be supported by these seals next year Miss F'reeland said:

Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-10-28

If hardly seems necessary here in Perth Amboy and
vicinity to point out the qualifications of Morgan F. Larson
for state senator, which office he is seeking on the Repubh-
can<6rEet this fall. MI. Larson is so well and so favorably
hOor ere that it goes without saying that he will receive
, tren dous vote. He is a son of Perth Amboy in every
.enso he word. He grew up here and has always been
,roo;ne " identified with the local activities. he is one
of the lea es in his chosen profession OF engineering, mas
astabl;sbeAan excellent reputation both in private and pub
lie life. and'will, without a doubt, make a high class repre-
sentative of the people in the state legislature.
There is no man, perhaps, who knows Middlesex county
better or is more interested in its welfare. Also, there is no
man who will work harder or more conscientiously for his
constituents than will Mr.. Larson. Knowing his ability as
we do, we do not hesitate to say that the people OF this
county cannot get a better representative that Mr.. Larson.
Oar only regret is that it is not possible to secure men OF
ouch calbre for public office all the time.
AS far as Perth Amboy and vicinity is concerned there
is no doubt as to the outcome of the election as far as it
effects Mr.. Larson. His candidacy is more than a political
issne. PEOPLE are going to vote for him here regardless OF
notifies. If he does not go out of Perth Amboy with a ma
:oritv of over 2. 900 we shall be sadly disappointed. For the
rest of the county where Mr.. Larson may not be so well
known. but where nothing but that which is favorable has
heen heard about him since his candidacy was announced,
we can but repeat that a vote for Morgan f. Larson 1or state
senator this fall will be a vote for a clean cut, honest and
canable Young man who would be a credit to any community
or county; a man of the highest type, standing for all that IS
/ hest and decent in public affairs; a man Of character and
sterling worth-one whom the best citizens should be glad
toto vote for. y.
In saving this about Mr.. Larson we are not in the least
attempting to disparage Mr.. Larson's opponent IN this cleo
ton who is also a young man OF high principles having the
resnect of all who know him and who has already represen-
Tod tbis county with distinction in the lower house of the
y legislature. But knowing Mr.. Larson as we do and the high
nersonal regard held for him among those with whom he is
NOSE closely associated, it is evident that he is going to be
given their unanimous support.

DRAMA NEEDS THE AID

of the cinema which has given the

tors went to the front and played

that they were really important SER
wants of the community; that there
was SJmething in U great Ian
gua<e which should be heard; that
there was great constructive power
for good, for the healing of the
heart, in hearing words spoken.
And, indeed, good drama is as
necessary for a people as a water
works system. 1t is as necessary as
a bath. Indeed it gives people a
mental bath.

to help in the regeneration of the

it is part of our lives, part of our
privilege to help all good causes.
But when we ask for support in the

theatre, we are met by Indifference.
What we ask of the church is not
indifference, but help. We want
help to create a standard by which
every form of recreation must be
measured and we went that standard
made a very high one.
