Halifax, March 1.-The ghost of Antigonish had callers today. Two sleighs drew up to Alex MacDonald's s deserted farm house in Caledonia Mills. Later Dr. Walter Franklin Prince, director of the American ln- stitute for Scientific Research, de- parked, to the clicking of movie cam eras and dropped in for an tnde- terminate stay.
 Brings Food Supply.
 Dr. Prince brought his own food supplies-cnough to last him. he hopes, until he has succeeded in get ting on speaking terms with the ghost, and has learned the secret ot why the ghost killed Alex MacDon- aids cattle; why it set his house on fire and why it slapped Harold Whidden, q newspaper reporter, and P. o. Carroll, q detective, who visited it after Macdonald and his family had fled.
 Is Not Afraid.
 Dr. Prince issued a statement be- fore entering the haunted house III which he expressed confidence in his ability to solve the ghost, provided the occult one would consent tc match wits with him. Obviously he could not do much. he pointed out, II the ghost went on strike. He prom ised daily bulletins of his eXper- fences

"Thc second was to subject MT. Whidden's evidence to long oral eX- 
 "The third was to see the various parties acquainted with certain as- poets of the case particularly the character of the original witnesses My present conclusions may be thus summarized;
 Believes Their Statements.
 There appears to be no reason to doubt the good faith Of MT, and Mrs. Alex. Macdonald. the MacGillvrays, neighbors of the MacDonalds and other witnesses In all probability they have told the truth as they underst ood it whether their interpre- tation of the facts is correct or not.
 ITO Mir. Whiddcn I have no doubt whatever that his testimony is ahso- lutey truthful that he and Carroll heard sounds of unknown origin and experienced sensations which they de scribed as 'slaps.' It is too early for me to pronounce an opinion regarding the cause of these experiences.
 Fears No Danger.
 No eNtrayagant expectations should be entertained. l do not expect that I shall witness fires or visible 'Nisi- tors That singular sounds and even physical sensations may be eNperi- enced is, judging by other cases known to me personally, not improb- able but nothing whatever may oc- cur and if anything does it may be quite tame to the average man. On the other hand mere succession ot sounds if 1t could be proven that they were not due to physical causes would be of transcendent significance to science"

RORABACK'S LETTER
 REFLECTS LOCALLY
Some Merchants in This City Refer to Republi-
 can Leaders Stand

The canvass for funds which is be- ing conducted by the American Le- zion throughout the state was very yesterday, according to the men who are soliciting subscriptions from merchants, societies, etc.
 Today, however. owing, it is said, to a letter sent by J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the republican state cen tral committee, to Commander Clar- ence Seymour of the Legion, the pledges are not forthcoming. One so- licitor who has heen visiting the mer- chants of the city reported that he had collected or had pledged sl1o yesterday, but today, he had been re- fused in many places because of the republican state central committee chairman.
 Roraback's Statement.
 MT. Roraback refused to act on the committee appointed by Commander Seymour to solicit money to defray the expenses of the state fund. He claimed that the American Legion should be large enough to be self sus- taining He suggested that there be a great reorganization of the Legion in this state, saying that of the So,- 900 reported X-servicemen in the state there should be at least 10000 ot them members of the American Le' gion According to Mir. Roraback there should be at least 5000 mem bers of the American Legion whe would be willing to contribute one dollar towards the expense of dis tributing the state fund, and the ex- penses should be paid in that man. ner rather than by the public.
 It is only too evident that his let ter on the subject has claimed great deal of attention, and there are a good number of people in this city who think the same as he does, and
 it is a question whether the neces- sary amount will be collected.

A MIXER

Salem County has been famous for
its grazing land owe the mari belt
extending under Warrington, Piles
grove and Pittsgrove Townships.
Years ago on their rich acres were
seen hundreds of steers fattening on
the sueculent green grass and clover
Thousands of sheep grew thereon
and furnished wool and mutton for
Philadelphia and New York Markets.
But the larger supply of beef and
mutton from the cheaper lands in the
west, sent in refrigerator cars and
the bigger demands for milk has led
the farmers to Craze mich cows
within the past thirty years.
Salem County has become famous
for its rich milk, cream and butter
and especially for ice cream.
Thrifty farmers have been wing
with each other during the past few
wears in having big mixers. 5. L.
Moore. near Daretown, has recently
produced a record breaking mixer.
The cow is a Holstein-Friesian, Anne
Ruble Pieterie De Kel 280,823, and
the milking was done with officials
from the advanced registry office OF
the New Jersey Experiment station:
The cow averaged 100 pounds OF
milk per day for nine days, in addi-
ton to making a high-grade butter
record for seven days. Several other
cows in the herd of Moore at the
same time made fine records. The
cows were MIXED every six hours.
The official record of the COW IS:
Seven days-Butter, 6R, 21.722
pounds; milk, 69S.700 pounds. Milk,

Egg Show

Because no hen is worth more than
the egg she lays, and because they
believe thoroughly in the benefits
they derive from such a show, the
students of Rutgers College who are

an egg show to be held at the Agri-
cultural College, New Brunswick,
February 81, % and %.
The best dozen eggs, either white
or brown, will be awarded cups and
first, second and third ribbons in each
of the following classes: Experiment
Station, Egg Producers, Students,
Boys and Girls Clubs, High School
Students taking Vocational Agricul-
ture. The cups have been donated
by Prof. Harry R. Lewis, Prof. W. C.
Thompson, Prof. G. W. Hervey, and
the New Jersey Poultry Producers
Association.
Applications should be made at
least n week before the opening of
the show, and all entries must be in
by noon of February 81. There is no
entry fee, but all the eggs received
will become the property of the show
committee and will be used to defray
expenses of the show.
Freshness, size or weight, color,
shape, shell texture and cleanliness
will be the basis for making awards.
Eggs will be disqualified when two or
more are cracked, when they show
signs of incubation, or when a single
egg of the dozen weighs less than
IL ounces.
Besides the educational advantages
To ha gained from such a show il is
hoped to promote a general feeling
of cooperation between commercial
poultrymen and the students, to bring
together in an exhibition the various
types of eggs produced in New Jer-
sey, and to encourage a greater con-
sumption of eggs for food purposes.

The president of the Bessemer
Steel and Iron Co., Birmingham, Ala,
said that he personally has not until
recently favored the passage of the
prohibition laws but that now, after
seeing the greatly improved condition
of the miners and the many benefits
they now enjoy because their money
is spent on their homes and not in the
saloon, he would never vote to bring
liquor back.
During the recent visit of President
Harding to Birmingham, Ala, there
was a parade, such as before prohibit
ton would have required a large ad-
ditional squad of police to keep the
huge crowds in order. This time,
however, owing to the changed condi-
lions, due to prohibition, the Boy
Scouts, unassisted, were able to man.
age the traffic.
The Eighteenth Amendment was
passed, not after the soldiers had left
the country as the misinformed say,
but when only 300, 900 had gone. The
majority vote in favor of prohibition
in Ohio was $4,000. In a subsequent
vote taken after the soldiers return,
that vote was augmented to zoo, 000l
Evidently the soldier vote would have
meant something, just as the vets
claimed. 1t would unquestionably
have meant a more-overWhelming
victory for prohibition.

The workhouse in Cincinnati has
been closed because of 'lack of pa
tronage." The authorities say that
this is entirely due to prohibition.

speech the other day said, "All we
