A oss~rRuorIoNlsrs HOLD sack CITY?
AS evi

AS evidence that the taxes on industries in MiddleseX
county are already so high that industries are being preven-
ted from coming here, Robert Carson, who headed the dele
CATION of taxpayers that appeared before the County Board
Of Taxation recently, pointed to the fact that st. Louis has
Just secured a two million dollar plant of the Standard I'm
foreground Cable Company that should have been erected in
Perth Amboy.
It is possible that The cable company would have erec-
ted their st. Louis plant no matter how favorable the con-
ditons may have been in Perth Amboy. 1t is certain, how
ever, that the cable company will never be inclined to en-
large its plant here, let alone erect an entire new one, as
long as the city maintains such an antagonistic attitude as
is now so apparent in some quarters.
We all must admit that the prosperity of Perth Amboy
rests with the prosperity of its industries. When they are
running full time everybody is busy, money is plentiful and
times are good. When they are running part time or are shut
down altogether the city is hit hard. The larger the indus
tries the larger the pay roll and the more money there is to
be spent in Perth Amboy. The more industries there are
here the more people there are to rent houses and deal
with the local stores, and the greater becomes the city.
This being so, would it not seem to be to the interest of
Perth Amboy to do everything possible to encourage such
Industries as we already have here to grow and increase their
pay roll and, at the same time, encourage other industries
to locate here?
The Standard Underground Gable Company is asking
permission to lay a railroad siding along side its factory
building on High street in order that it may enlarge its plant
and increase its business. A city that is so dependent upon
the growth of its industries for its own growth ought to
seek every means possible to assist such an industry because
by so doing the city is i helping itself. To be continually OBJ
siruoting and harassing our industries can only discourage
them from growing and they, in turn, will discourage others
from coming here.
What will be the result? Let the obstruotionists an

You would instantly condemn a
man to the insane asylum who stop
ped a clock to save time. Such a fool
ish and absurd thing to do! But is
it any more foolish than the man
who worries so much about financial
troubles that he has a nervous
breakdown and is relegated to a
sanatorium for a long rest?
1t sounds like a paradox to say
that worrying about money usually
costs more money but in many cases
this is the literal truth.
1t is true that not all worry is pre-
ventable, yet much of it, as well as
it's i'll effects, can be avoided. Most of
our fears are never realized. If we
meet III troubles day by day as they
come without worrying about them
beforehand we find hat we have the
strength to overcome them.

WORRY
COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL

Worrying weakens the mental
forces. The best antidote is a change
of mental occupation. Get away
from the scenes which provoke
worry, exercise in the open air, read
one or several good books of a light
er strain, find pleasant recreation or
an absorbing hobby" A temporary
change of occupation where possible
often brings considerable relief from
worry.
Excessive worry tires the nerves
just as excessive work tires the
muscles. The poison that results is a
natural product that must be thrown
off to keep from getting nerves
and blues"
AS in the ease of bodily fatigue.
the best remedy is complete relaxa-
ton and rest. A sound body as a
rule is accompanied by a sound and
healthy mind.

Mrs. May Sorenson, friend OF

that the day following the murder

years old, confessed to her that his
father had hit the child over the
head the night beforei that the body
had been spirited to the basement
and hid under a washtub and that
colored man had been paid S25, ac-
cording to the boy, to secrete the
body out OF the house to the lake.
Then at the close Of her testi-
mony she told how she had seen the
