In MEMORY OF MOTHER

It was a good start that was made yesterday in raising the
fund necessary to maintain the Home for the Aged during the
coming year. One thousand dollars was reported in subscriptions
of 500 each. This is a fine beginning and shows that there is a
realization of the need of this institution for financial assistance.
Ten more persons to give the same amount and the first quota
will be filed. This ought to be possible; with the right kind of
solicitation on the part of those having the work in charge the
other ten can be found.
In the meantime, where are the forty people who will give $50
eacha If there are twenty who will give 800, there surely ought
to be twice that number who will contribute half that amount.
Let the subscriptions come in SO as to start the ball rolling.
But besides these, the requirements call for fifty people who
will give $25 each. If some one will make the start on these
amounts through voluntary contributions there is no doubt that
others will speedily follow.
The cold folks'' need your aid, citizens. 1t is an appeal to
the heart of each individual. If there ever was a worthy cause,
this is one. By united effort at this Thanksgiving season the Home
for the Aged in Perth Amboy can be put on a firm foundation,
financially.
The special appeal is being made for tomorrow for contribu-
lions of $25 each in memory of "Mother." After partaking of the
Thanksgiving feast, when you are feeling happy and contented,
take a few moments to sit down and write out a check for $25
payable to the Home for the Aged as your contribution to those
mothers who, having had their loved ones taken away from them,
are passing their declining years at this local institution. Think
what Thanksgiving means to you and try to think what Thanks
giving means to these old foIks-what memories it recalls-and
then picture what the future may be for these old folks if the
people of Perth Amboy fail them at this time.
A contribution tomorrow in memory of Mother will be a
contribution well worth while. There is no way that Mother
whether you still have the joy of having her with you, or whether
she has passed on into the Great Beyond, could be more appro-
priately honored.
It's the Home for the Aged that should be uppermost in
cveryone's thoughts tomorrow. And let your actions fit the
thoughts. -1

The song, "Silver Threads Among the Gold, is still pm.
ing up royalties though it was written 4s years ago py Hart
P. banks.
This comes to light in a lawsuit in Brooklyn, N. Y. The
famous song is said to have sold 100000 copies.
Between 1915 and 1920, when it had one of its periodical
popular runs after a long sleep, it earned royalties OF $5O,O0O.
banks, the composer, died back in 1908. But his song still
lives. Maybe il you could come back to earth IN the year
1000, you'd find people still singing it-though possibly un-
der a different name, stolen by a plagiarist.
Men live on, in their good and bad deeds, as surely as
they survive through their children.
When banks wrote "Silver Threads Among the Gold,
in 1874, he had no idea what he was starting. He did not
even dream that, nineteen years after his death, his widow
would be in court fighting over the royalties.
Back of this is a definite principle.
The principle is this: Growth of success, like growth OF
crops takes time. Right now we are sowing SEED. Inc real
harvest will not come until years later.
Thus the pay we are making today may not be as I'M
portant as the returns We'll get later, on, from experience
we are acquiring today. Young men on their first jobs, and
Younger ones still in school, should keep this in mind.
Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller and nearly all other
super-rich men are cashing in now on early effort.
This law of Deferred Payment or later harvest works an
other way-reaping the weed-crop Of past mistakes.
Many of us, cursing our present misfortunes poverty,
sickness or general wretchedness), are placing the blame on
the general state of affairs in 1922. Simple truth is, that we
may be merely paying the penalty of past mistakes.
The harvest comes surely, whether 1t IS good or bad,
whether wheat or weeds.
It NAV be too late now to rectify past mistakes. But we
can prevent their recurrence. The f~arsighted man realizes
that right now he is building for the future as much as the
present. and that effort which seems fruitless now will yield
big profits later.
Live for tomorrow. This is the key to all things really
worth while.

CLOSE THE MURDER CASE

1t is not surprising that the Somerset county grand jury mas
failed to bring in any Indictment in the Hall-Mihs murder case
Judging from what has leaked out in the investigation, the author
tiles have failed to unearth any new evidence worth while and as
a previous grand jury failed to find an Indictment it would have
10 take some very startling fact to convince another.
Those Somerset county farmers are not inclined to go off half
cooked. They will insist that a real case be made out and they are
going to be skeptcal of the eleventh hour witness. As there is
the evidence possible it seems hardly likely now that the murder
viii ever be solved. It will pass into history as one of the great
mysteries.
After all, the special prosecutor appointed by the court did
not do any more than our own local authorities did. Of course, 1t
wa proper that every step be taken to find the guilty party or
parhes. and no doubt the extra expense involved is justified. But
II is doubtful if any more facts have been secured than could
have been secured by the prosecutors of Somerset and Middlesex
counties.
The great mistake, of course, was made in the very beginning
that more care was not taken when the bodies were found. Much
valuable evidence was probably destroyed. The failure to exhaust
every effort at the outset and the gross carelessness then displayed,
ought to be a lesson in all future cases. No one knows what lies
behind any crime that is committed and only the greatest endeavor
when the crime is first discovered will enable the authorities to run
down the criminal.
Realizing that the two local prosecutors and a special prose-
cutor appointed by the supreme court have done their best and
have presented all the evidence they could unearth after several
months of investigation, it would seem as if the case might be al.
lowed to rest for the present, at least. Of course, the detectives will
always be on the watch for the slightest clue; that is their business,

GOVERNMENTS FERRY
BUSINESS DESCRIBED
Daily Letter by Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Uncle
Sam. in conducting his multifarious
interests, has engaged in some
strang occupations, ranging all the
way from the manufacture of glass
10 the cross-breeding of donkeys
and zebras; but the versatile old gen.
tleman astonished himself the other
day by discovering hat one of the
legacies left him by the war admin
istration was a full sized municipal
ferry line which hasn't the remotest
connection with any known function
of national government. The ferry
line is at Norfolk, Virginia, con-
Meeting that thriving city with its
Jealous sister city, Portsmouth, a
mile away across the Elizabeth river.
Uncle Sam now finds himself not
only operating this municipal utility
but doing so at a handsome profit to
himself. Any government enterprise
that actually pays dividends in hard
cash into the treasury is such a rare
phenomenon that the Norfolk-Ports-
mouth ferry line Is in danger of be-
coming a congressional pet.
The history of how the govern
ment acquired this ferry line with
it's fleet of boats. its passenger ter
minal stations, ticket chopping ma
chimes and all the rest, is an enter
tanning one. When the United States
declared war against Germany. 1t
eemed as though every single agency
of the government which had any
thing to do with the war, picked
out the lower Chesapeake Bay dis
trict as the scene of one or more
of it's most important operations.
The Navy established its great sup
ply base there and also a mine as
sembiing plant, and it already had
the great Portsmouth navy yard
there. The shipping board placed
ONE of itssmost important shipbuild
ing contracts at Newport News. The
supply division of the war depart
ment located it's greatest export base
at Norfolk. The ordnance bureau
established a great supply bureau
there. The engineers also located
their chief export depot there. TIE
Transportation service created one
of it's chief ports of e~mbarkation in
that district. There was an aviation
field there, a balloon school, an ar
tillery training camp, and numerous
other war enterprises.
The u~ndirected congestion of war
activity around the lower Chesapeake
cost the government heavily il
| money because OF. the d~islocation OF
the local markets for labor and ma
terials. But 1t did more, it put q
sore strain upon the public utilities
in the cities of the district. None
| of these utilities felt the strain mor'
than the ferry line leading from Nor
