SOUTH AMBOY
FIGHT GOES ON
Councilman Tice Asks Re-
corder ForgotSon Some
Pointed Questions

SOUTH AMBOY. June 22-In a
statement issued to the Evening
News today. Councilman Edwin y.
Tice presents a series of questions
to Police Justice Reuben Forgotson
which he requests answered by the
judge for the benefit of the public.
The statement follows:
While / am reluctant to enter IN
to a newspaper controversy. l feel
that some reply is made necessary
to the statement given to the press
by Police Justice Reuben Forgot
son relative to my interest in the
financial records of this department.
Having been elected by the peo-
pie of South Ainboy, I feel that 1t is
my duty to present certain facts
that may be necessary in order TO
clear up misunderstanding in re-
gard to a situation that seems TO
me to be worthy of the attention OF
every taxpayer of the city. | shall
continue to bring out any facts that
should be known by the people OF
South Amboy, without fear or favor.
as long as I am a member of the
council. People are tired of good
Fellowship being carried to the point
Wn6T0 IL IOuCiiG0 lACAA
and since Judge Forgotson has seen
fit to a~ggravate the condition by
making a newspaper criticism CT my
action, I would like him to make
answer to the following questions
for the information of the public.
Have you made. an honest return
to the city of South Amboy of all
moneys due the city since you were
on1ointed In Deeembe 1920?
Have you made a prompt return OF
any revenues collected?
Have you ever made a report to
the City Council without being COM
PEELED to do so?
Have your accounts ever been
audited? If so, by whom?
Have you made all returns due
to the Motor Vehicle Department at
Trento since you assumed charge of
your office from December 1920 up
to and including May 18th, 1928,
as required by law?
Why was it necessary for the MO
tor Vehicle department to turn your
case over to the Attorney Generals?
Dnd you remit all moneys collected
FOR dog taxes for the year of 1922!
II I'm asking this question because
the stubs of the license book, l UNI
derstand, show receipts of ~$165.O0,
while the report of the auditor does
not show that a single nickel was
ever turned over to the city for dog
licenses).
am very sure that the judge will
promptly answer these questions, as
IL will give him an opportunity to
gain a little more newspaper motor
iety.

Mt. Etna, after three months OF
ominous threatening, again is in
eruption. The map shows the loca-
ton of the famous old volcano in
Sicily, Italy. Thousands of persons
are fleeing from their homes in the
fertile valleys at the base of the
slope and several cities, notably Cat
inia and Clare, are in danger of be-
ing buried by the deluge Of molter
lava. Clare is reported in grave
danger.
Probably the oldest, and surely
the most colorful, of all volcanoes,
is Etna. Scenes of horror like the
one now being enacted in the fertile
Sicilian valley, date back to the
eighth century B. G.
Etna is located on the east coast
of Sicily. Its summit is approx
mately. Is miles northwest of Ca
tania, the city which now is in dan
ger, according to news dispatches, OF
being deluged by a flood of lava.
Etna's height. in 1900, was ascer-
tanned to be 1878 feet; it decreased
from 1880, the height in 1861. The

Harvest Quite Important

Horses working In the heat should

should be given a liberal amount Of
grain. preferably oats, with from 10 to
20 per cent of bran added. They
should be watered in the morning be-
fore being fed and should be allowed
water again after feeding. At noon,
when coming from the field they
should be given a limited amount Of
water if they are hot. followed by feed,
and again be watered before going to
the field At night they should be given
a limited amount when brought from
the field. followed by the evening feed.
and should then be given all the water
they will drink.
1t is an excellent practice. also, to
water the horses in the middle Of each
half days work. A drink at this time
is as refreshing to the horse as to the
man and will be repaid by better serv-
Ice. Frequent breathing spells should
be given in the harvest field to avoid
overheating and injury to the wind
which may result In permanent un
soundness.
The shoulders should be washed
with cool salt water at night to pre-
vent shoulder gals and sore necks.
The collar should also be carefully
cleaned when taken OFF. S. Mont

~ to 2 pounds Of meal mixed with
water will constitute a days feed.

GIFT OF THE DESERT

and II so, his followers would be slow
to discover what had happened, and
would possess no leadership. This,
Inevitably would mean delay. While,
even If the fellow should live, hours
surely must elapse before he could
take the trail. With a good horse
under her, she would be beyond sight
out on the desert, riding straight for
those two peaks old Tom Meager had
pointed out to her as marking the No
gales trail. With such a start In the
race there was surely a chance to
win. Her pulses throbbed exultantly
at this sudden awakening Of hope, and
without so much as another glance
at the body PROSTATE on the floor,
she hurried to carry out her plans.
An unrecognized Mexican lay in
drunken slumber, curled up like a dog,
on the floor Of the passage, but she
found no difficulty In passing the fell

OF the others. as she made her way

few feet Of open space dividing the
main house from the detached kitchen.

In gathering together what food she
required, fortunate enough to discover
a small sack In which 1t could be con-
venientiy transported.
The effort had proven easy and safe
so far, and her heart beat hopefully
as she emerged from the kitchen, thus
equipped. Now If she could only pro-
cure horse, escape actually appeared
possible. Doubtless the ranch horses
had all been turned loose In the large
corral. She had no means Of catching
these half-broken animals, but it
might be that the horses ridden by
the party arriving during the evening
had been put up In the stable, ready
for immediate use. These were weary
enough from their desert trip when
they arrived, but that was hours ago;
they must have been fed and watered
since, and, with the rest, would be
fairly fit by this time for another
journey. They were wiry broncos,
able to endure any amount Of hard
