Winters Grip Shows
Mausoleurn Appeal

1.-THE grip of winter upon the earth
has taught the truths of mausoleum
intombment more eloquently than any
orator could picture them," declared
Vice President and General Manager
Frederic A. Garner, of the Mausoleum
Company of America, this week when
commenting on the rapidity with
which crypts in the million-dollar
Fairview Mausoleum are being sold.
1.-The bleak skies, the cemetery
stripped of all it's foliage, the frozen
earth which must be pierced for the
coffin during winter, has caused a
revulsion against ground burial of
ones beloved dead at this season Of
the year.
What is more natural then, with
such a heart-rending and depressing
scene unacceptable when ground burial
is resorted to, than that thousands
should turn to the beautiful alterna
tive of mausoleum intombment?
Thousands Avoid Nightmare
Thousands of Hudson and Bergen
county families have already sub

mausoleum so that when their loved
ones pass away they will not have
to face that nightmare of ground bur-
ial which fingers in the memory for
years.
Mr. Garner said that although the
Fairview Mausoleum would be the
largest in the world, there would be
not more than 5000 crypts available
and that already the big majority of
them had been sold. He declared that
those who have considered this form
of disposition of the bodies of their
beloved dead, but have hesitated for
one reason or another, should make
up their minds quickly or they may
find it too late to obtain space.

The Stanton College Agricul.
ture class visited two farms, ac.
companied by Mr.. II Ii. Harrison,
Mr.. A. j. Martin, Mr.. aud Mrs.
l.. o. Knox and little son Leon
ard Jr.
We started at | O'Clock Friday
afternoon in three cars. The first
place we visited was Mr.. 7. G..
Halls at Rosslyn.
There we saw a big field sowed
in rye, and the effect of tiling
which Mr. Hall had put in the
ground TO drain pond of water
that stood on the field. The wat
er is now drained and the rye is
looking fine.
Then we came to clover field
that Mr.. Hall had treated with
lime. He began around the field
and when he came near the cen.
ter the lime gave out, so the out.
er part of the field had much bet
ter clover than the center. There
are eight acres of this field, and
forty hogs fed upon it all sum-
mer, and six yearling steers until
June.
Soon we visited the wheat field
which had a very pretty color.
Mr.. Harrison showed us how the
wheat would stool. 1t is very in
teresting to hear him name the
different parts of the wheat stalk.
He told US how the roots would
take IN water and food for the
plant to grow on.
Mr.. Hall expects to have this
field IN wheat two years to be
hogged down, and then in clover
one year which will be plowed
under and planted IN corn the
fourth year.
He has about forty acres Of
mountain land and one hundred
and fifteen acres Of bottom land.
Next we saw his hogs, two of
which were Poland China, the
largest one weighing about six
hundred pounds.
We saw the ice house which is
very convenient to tn e milk
house, which is just below so as
the ice melts it will run down in
the milk house through pipes.
Last of all we looked over the
house that contains about nine or
ten rooms, which are furnished
with gas lights, gas stove, and
phone. There is a front porch
up stairs and down, back porch
which has a cement floor.
Mr.. Hall expects to build a els.
tern at the back of the house on
the hill side so he can have water
up stairs by gravity.

GOVERNMENT BOARDS
GIVEN To PRESIDENT
Republican A. P. Leased wlreI

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-Plans for
reorganization of the government de-
partments, as worked out by Walter
r. Brown. chairman of the joint con-
gressional commission charged with
that task, were laid before President
Harding yesterday but were not
made public pending consideration
by the president and his cabinet and
their transmission to congress.
Proposals, however, are understood
to be preliminary in nature. They
are said to embody recommendations
for the consolidation of the war and
navy departments into one depart
ment to be knows as the department
OF national defense and for creation
or new department to be called the
department OF public welfare.
The department of national de-
tense. as IL has been considered by
Mr.. Brown, would have a secretary
and under that Official undersecre-
taries each for war and for navy
The proposal that the department OF
labor be consolidated with other bu-
reaus in the department Of public
welfare is understood to have been
abandoned. Organized labor and
workers generally have opposed
strongly the wiping out of the labor
department.
Transfer of bureaus to the pro-
posed public welfare department and
to other departments is expected TO
be the point of controversy in the
working out of the recommendations
The best information available was
that the principal transfers to be
recommended were:
The bureaus of good roads and
markets from the department of
agriculture to the department of
commence; the forest service from
the department OF agriculture to the
interior department; the patent Of
flee and the bureau Of education from
the interior department to the new
public welfare department: the coast
guard service from the treasury to
