County FreehOlders
In Special Session
Met On Saturday To Discuss
Important Road Matters. Mo-
tor Funds AppOrtiOned

The Board of Freeholders met in
special session at the Court House in
Salem on Saturday morning last to
further discuss some important high
way matters. The members had eX-
pected to have with them E. E. Reed,
Assistant State Highway Engineer, to
give some definite information about
the building OF a hard surface road
from the Cumberland County line at
Shirley to the Gloucester County line
at Mullica Hill, but he did not appear.
1t was learned by telephoning that Mr..
Reed had not left Trenton, nor did he
know he was supposed to be in Salem,
so for half an hour he ;phoned an
swers as he was questioned by En-
gineer Keasbey at the instruction of
the members.
The State Highway Commission has
estimated that it will cost $4,000 to
grade the road in question and apply
six inches of gravel in 1921. The fol-
lowing year it is proposed to apply a
concrete surface. This is part of
Route No. 6 of the State Highway
System.
AS the Commission is without funds
to pay the $4,000, or what portion
is necessary, the County is asked to
issue bonds so the work may be done
this year, but only the interest on the
bonds will be our expense, the Com
mission reimbursing us in 1922. This
same scheme was adopted by the
Cumberland County Board for a road
from Bridgeton to Shirley.
The Board adopted a similar reso-
luton to that of Cumberland County
by a unanimous vote.
Wednesday, February Is, has been
set as the date for a hearing before
the Highway Commission for addi-
tional funds from the State Motor
Vehicle Funds, SO the Board and
Finance Committee accompanied by a
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce will go to Trenton. The Com
mission is to impressed with the ne
cessity of funds for the completion of
the Salem-Penns Grove road.
A letter has been received from
Trenton that the Commission has gone
on record to pay Salem County the
S140, 900 or so much as is necessary
in 1922.

The fact that 625, 900 bottles of Tan.

item that viii attract unusual atten-
ton throughout the entire East, for

that the preparation was now selling
in their trade territories alone at the
phenomenal rate of approximately 5oO.-
600 bottles a year.
IF the present rate continues" said
Mr.. Evans, this state alone viii prob
ably require considerably over 10000
bottles a year. This is a tremendous
figure, but | am really conservative in

APRON WORN AS ORNAMENT
Women Of Czecho-S Iovakla Don Gar
ment With a View of Attracting
Masculine Eyes.

In the villages and country portions
of Czecho-Slovakia the women do not
wear aprons as a badge Of work. Cd
the contrary the Czecbo-Slovakia maid
does not put her apron on when she
enters the hOuse-she dOns 1t only
when she is going out to capture the
eye of some swain who long has paid
her court. And these aprons usually
are heirlooms. Green is the fayorite
color. Next in popularity come gold
or yellow, silver. pink, blue, cerlse and
flaming rose Usually the embroider'
les which display these colors are upon
dark foundations. Some, however, are
white. In both types gay ribbons some
times play part. And often the white
mutton sleeves of the waists are gay
ly embroidered to complete the radiant
effect the wearer's apron lends as she
strolls down the street or along the
country lane.
Their skirts are usually black and
always short. Their stockings are for
protection In their walks as well as for
display. Some haze small, bright de-
signs knitted into the dull black. The
waisl length jackets they wear are
usually quite plain, save for the hand
made lace around the bust and on the
sleeves. The head shawls sound the
varying color note. But il IS in the
aprons that the love Of color IS more
clearly shown.

%'d Like to Read My Declaration to

Samson's diary briefly describes this
appeal as follows:
"He said that he wanted to win the
confidence and esteem of his fellow
citizens. This he hoped to accomplish
by doing something which would make
him worthy of 1t. He had been think
ing of the county. A railroad would
do more for 1t than anything else. but
a railroad would be too costly. The
improvement Of the Sangamon river
was the next best thing. He favored
a usury law and said, in view of the
talk he had just heard, he was going
to favor the improvement and build
ing of schools, so that every one could
learn how to read, at least, and learn
for himself what Is In the Bible and
other great books. 1t was a modest
statement and we all liked It,"
Whatever happens to Sangamon,
one statement In that platform
couldn't be improved" said Kelso.
"What is that?" Abe asked.
"It's the one that says you wish to
win the regard Of your fellows by
serving them"
Early in April an Indian scare
spread from the capital to the remot-
est corners of the state. Black Hawk,
with many warriors. had crossed the
Mississippi and was moving toward
the Rock River country. Governor
Reynolds called for volunteers to

Free Area.
the most effective results in tick eradl-
cation are obtained. During March
approximately half a million cattle
splashed through the dipping watts in
the state. The April reports show
that 1913, 434 cattle we're dipped under
federal, state and county supervision.
This is very good record, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, when 1t is con-
sidered that Georgia is essentially a
eotton-growing state and that the cat
tie industry has been neglected on
account of the handicaps presented by
the presence of ticks.
Now all cattle that have been
dipped In Georgia are marked with
paint, and this plan has given very
satisfactory results in getting to the
dipping watts animals pastured on the
open range that might otherwise miss
regular dipping. The use of range
riders. whose duty 1t is TO search for
and dip cattle that are not marked,
was considerably increased during
April.
In Georgia, as In all other southern
states where the fight against cattle
ticks has been wagcd, there is always
more or less opposition to the tick
eradication movement. Recently a
meeting was held in one Georgia town
for the purpose of protesting against
the further dipping Of cattle in the
county. A progressive farmer who had
experienced unsatisfactory results In
raising cattle under tick conditions
read a notice OF this meeting Of pro
test and Immediately wrote letter
to the president of the bank In the
town in which the meeting was held
In this letter he said:
Noticing in the newspapers that
your people meet opposition In tick
eradication, ! desire to express my
actuak experience on this line. Before
the discovery that the cattle DICK was
the source of infection, the only cause
of bovine fever, brought many regis
tered Jersey dairy cattle to Putnam
county, middle Georgia. Later I Inn
munized the northern cattle by trans
fuslng blood from cows carrying ticks
TO the susceptible northern-bred cattle.
awhile the treated cattle did not sub
sequently die OF cattle fever, the proc
ess proved harmful to the growth and
development of the animal whose life
was saved. When the history Of the
deadly tick became fully known, tick
eradication justly took precedence over
any treatment. It's ease Of accom-
plishment. It's economy and beneficial
results that followed all emphasized
its necessity to any community that
desires to raise cattle.
an our part of the state no man. no
matter how unreasoning and bitter HIS
opposition to tick eradication when we
needed his moral support, can NOW be
found who does not fully approve the
work. No argument should carry more
weight than the full Endorsement and
approval Of opponents when they see
the whole truth, and change from OPP
position to advocacy.
surely we who have bred cattle I'M
der tick infeStatioG, and later after
tick eradication, are entitled as mis-
slonaries TO endeavor to benefit others
who have never been without the dis
advantage Of the pest"
