Damages Denied

The case of Mrs. Mary Even for
damages against the county was
heard before Judge Washington and
a jury at Salem, on Thursday of last
week. Thomas G. Hilliard and How
ard B. Keasby appeared for the County
and William B. Surran for Mrs. Even.
Mrs. Arthur Johnson, of Carneys Point
was forelady of the jury.
Mrs. Even brought the suit for
damages to her motor truck by reason
of it falling through a small bridge
below Courses Landing. The c%onten-
ton was that the Board of Chosen
F~reeholders had been negligent in not
keeping the structure in repair, fit for
travel. There was absolutely no proof
by the plaintiff and the court directed
the jury to return a verdict of no cause
for action.
The accident occurred on a bridge
which spans what is known as
"Sparks Rum" near the Peter Sparks
farm at Courses Landing.

New County Judge
Appointed Soon
Appointment of III. B. Ware EX-
pected. w. M. Burk For
Tax Board Again

The term of Edward c.. Washington.
of Woodbury., who has been Judge of
Salem County Courts for two terms
of five years each, will expire April
1st. When appointed by Governor
Woodrow Wilson ten years ago, he
was the youngest Judge in the State,
being only 20 years old.
Considering his service of ten years
Judge Washington has made good and
been a credit to the County by his de-
pendabilitX. and giving a moral stand
ing to the Court of Justice.
AS Judge Washington was appoint
ed as a Democrat and the Governor is
also a Democrat, it might have been
expected that he would have been ap-
pointed, but Governor Edward | Ed
wards stripe of democracy is of a diff
ferent shade than the standard set by
Woodrow Wilson. AS a consequence
Judge Washington announced some
weeks ago that he was not a candidate
for disappointment.
The Democratic County Committee
met two weeks ago and a majority
favored the appointment of Henry
Burt Ware, a well-known attorney in
Salem, who was the party's sacrifice
candidate for Senator last November.
Some of the members favored the ap-
pointment of T. Newlin Acton, who was
the able State Prosecutor for Salem
County years ago.
Some citizens have taken exceptions
to the appointment of Mr.. Ware as
Judge because he has been attorney for
the criminal class mostly in Salem
court. That leads some to believe he
would be unfit to act as judge after
his mind had practiced so long to keep
criminals from being made to receive
the penalties of the law.
Mr.. Ware recently wrote a letter to
a friend explaining that it was the
duty of a paid attorney to do his best
by his client, but as Judge his client
would be the State and he would feel
it his sworn duty to uphold the law.
His nomination by the Governor is
expected
At the same meeting of the Demo-
cratic Committee William Hannah,
WIZ IdI IOI SIIeIIll, was tIluOISSu IOI
the County Tax Board to succeed
VIM. NJ. Burk who was appointed three
years ago. Mr.. Burk expected to be
endorsed. Because he was not, there
has been a ruction. The latest report
was that Mr.. Burk will be re-appoint-
ed and Mr.. Hannah will retain his
position as Clerk of the Board of Taxa
ton under the tenure of office act.

EIated To High Heaven

Last Saturday morning when people
in Penns Grove read the following in
the daily papers their thoughts scared
to high heaven. Those who felt poor
and downcast when they went to bed
Friday night were as happy as mil
lionaires in the morning:
Wilmington, Del, March 11.@Con-
struction of the largest dye color plant
in the world is planned by E. l. du-
Pont de Nemours & Co., it was an
nounced here today. The col oany is
considering the erection of a new unit
in its chain Of lithophone plants.
Although no official announcement
of the site of the plant was made, it
is reported the works will be located
in Carneys Point, N. j., and will even
tually employ 10000 men.
Soon after the above fake news was
published the publ department OF
the dupont Compal in Wilmington
gave out the stateme "There is alb
Solutely nothing to tn, tatement that
such a plant might be .ocated at Car
neys Point"

Moose Lodge Holds
Big Street Parade
Mayor Hunt Presents Key of
Borough TO Camden Delega-
ton. Rain MARRIED Parade

Last Saturday marked a wonderful
event Tor Penns Grove Lodge, No. 800,
Loyal Order OF Moose. In spite of the
ram Penns Grove saw its largest fra
ternaI parade. FIRST of the out of
town delegations to arrive was Will
mington Lodge, No. 184, about 200 in
number, headed by their own band.
Penns Grove Lodge, led by the local
band and the newly equipped Degree
Team, paraded to the wharf and there
the Degree Team formed a line of
honor. AS the Wilmington delegation
arrived they were greeted by officers
OF Penns Grove Lodge and presented
with a key TO the Borough.
A delegation of over 200, all in uni
form, headed by their own band, from
Camden Lodge, No. Ill, was next to
arrive. They had a special train
chartered which arrived at 6.43. They
were met at the station by the officers
of Penns Grove Borough and an ad-
dress OF welcome was extended to
them by Mayor S. NJ. Hunt, who also
presented the Dictator with a large
key.
In spite of the heavy rain, 900 to
700 men staid in line and paraded
from the station to the Moose Home.
At the Home arrangements were
made to have food ready and laid out
to feed all members. This was quite
a task, but so well was it laid out, that
it went thrugh like clock-work. About
800 were taken care of.
The band with the Camden Lodge
rendered several selections in the
Home.
At $50 P. NJ. all hands .journeyed
to the Globe Theatre as arrangements
were made with Manager Luterman
TO hold the Mortgage Burning there
as the Moose Home could not accom-
modate the crowd. After witnessing
the show, owing to the fact that the
hour was getting late, Camden Lodge
having arranged to have their special
train leave at 11.30 P. NJ, the Dictator
OF Penns Grove Lodge called upon the
Dictator of Camden Lodge for a few
words.
The Burning of the Mortgage was
postponed from the Globe Theatre to
The BIoose Home. The Ladies Legion,
together with Penns Grove Lodge and
Wilmington Lodge, journeyed back to
the Moose Home, where Dictator
Maurice Walsh, of Wilmington Lodge,
made a very impressive address. He
said in part: "The burning of this
mortgage represents the untiring
efforts of your officers. 1t shows
what can be done if men will work
together" He commended Penns
Grove Lodge on its wonderful prog
ress and its efficient Degree Team and
also commended Degree Team Master
j.. P. O'Brien on the way he received
visiting delegations and how he hand
led his degree team.
Dictator Robert j. Upper, of Penns
Grove Lodge, also spoke. He thanked
the members for the support he re
ceived while in office, also that he was
able to keep his promise to have the
mortgage paid off before his present
term expired.
Next to be called on was Secretary
C. E. Kinda. He outlined the progress
the Lodge has made in the past three
years. He said that to every Moose
the burning Of the piece of paper ex-
pressed so much joy it was beyond
words to describe it.

Very Successful Meetings

The Warren Collins party Of Evan
gelists and Faith Cure Heaters closed
their meetings in the Tabernacle Of
Penns Grove Camp Meeting Associa-
ton last Thursday evening. The
weather was unfavorable the first day,
February 27th, and only a hundred
were present, but with mild and clear
weather during the seventeen days the
attendance grew to 1000. The last
night about 800 were present and
much enthusiasm was manifested.
The earnest exhortations of Mr..
Collins and the Jealous spiritual
preaching of Rev. L. R. Carter had
wonderful effect on many persons who
gave manifestations of spiritual hap
piness, and physical heaings to
several.
No evangelical party ever held
meetings in Penns Grove with a more
favorable impression, because their
meetings were attended with less of
a mercenary spirit and a foremost
spiritual working.
Never were meetings attended by a
more diversified people. Jew and
gentle. Catholic Protestant, negroes,
Italians and others heard the gospel,
saw the manifestations of the Holy
Spirits movings and gained impress
sions never before received that viii
live with them.
They left with an excellent impress
sion or those who heard them.
After a short stay in Atlantic City
they will go to Pittsburg, Pa, TO hold
meetings.

The home was established IA years
ago and is doing splendid work. At
the present time II persons are being
cared for there, and we have more

badly needed.
Value of the Church
Last Sunday Bishop Berry preached
to a large congregation. His subject
was, "The Church Worth While" He
said: .
"The church is a good investment
for the individual, the community and
the nation" he declared. "The church
is the foundation of all beneticence.
No mar who has been an atheist or
inidel has been known for his bene-
~fcence. The generous givers of all
the years have been Christian men
and women. | challenge you to pro-
duce a single great glver who has
turned his back on God or the church.
On the other hand the great and NUM-
fcent givers of the world have been
those who worshipped God and loved
his church.
"The church is a good investment
because it is the foundation of all edu-
cation, especially higher education.
Attempts have been made from time to
time in this country to found a purely
secular college, but. such attempts
have always failed" The bishop cited
the cases of the University of Virginia,
founded by Jefferson, and Girard Col
lege, of Philadelphia, as illustrations
of this.
State institutions are presided over
by Christian men. Most of the facul-
ties are church members and the in
fuence of the Y. M. c. A. honey
combs students societies.
The Bishop said: "Rum would be
dominant in America today were it not
for the influence of the church. Long
before big business awoke to the in
iouitv of booze, the church had carried
on = relentless warfare against it,
The Conference adjourned to meet
next year in Atlantic City.

TIME TO PURCHASE FEEDERS
No Hard and Fast Rule for Farmer to
Go Bv-cattie Are Higher in
Spring Than In Fall.

Sim Baxter's right leg was in tenn
porary retirement under layer OF
arnica-soaked bandages. He regarded
the injured member with CLINT OF
rueful humer and spake thus TO
neighbor who had dropped in for a
chat with the cheerful invalid.
Bert, tell me somethin'. How Can
a feller tell when mean white mule
named Anarchy is goin' to kick?
mean, how can he tell in time to do
him any good:'
Human knowledge goes no further
than to say that white mule is al
ways goin' to kick. Is that the an
swer? Then let me ask you ques-
tion: How do you know whether to
buy your feeder steers in the fall
or in the spring? Do you make any
thing by feeding them In the winter,
and will you make more II you let the
other feller feed 'em through? They
cost more in the spring than In the
fall Is there any way to be certainT
Sim admitted that the thing was
past his comprehension and confessed
hat he sometimes did the thing one
way and sometimes the other, but that
he never knew just how he was com
'ng out.
In reality, as to the time to buy
stockers or feeders, there is no hard
and fast rule. The usual time Is In
the fall when they must leave the
grazing areas and go where feeds
have been harvested or stored for cat
lie feeding, However, with a falling
market, which no one can foretell with
any degree of certainty, the cattle
may not be worth enough more in the
spring to pay for the winter feeding.
Yet they have been Kept largely on
feed for which there is no other mar
get.
Consequently, what Sim and his
aeighbor should know is how much IT
costs to keep stockers through the
winter on various rations, how they
lose or gain weight, and how they
gain through the summer as a result
Of the way they have been wintered.
Being in q better position to carry on
feeding experiments to answer these
questions than the cattlemen, the tu-
lCdu IA iAddStiyt So-oPNAothh6
with the West Virginia experiment
station, conducted series Of feeding
tests in Greenbrier county, West Vir-
ginia. The experiments began De-
cember %, 1914, and covered period
of four years. the results being now
published in department bulletin sT0.
In brief, 80 yearling steers were Sc
lected each year and divided into three
lots of ten steers each. When the lots
were carefully equalized. this average
weight of the animals was 68S pounds
each. The steers were on winter ra-
tions an average Of 100 days, and on
pasture an average Of 15S days each
year.
