Major Oliver Duane of the ST. Peter Herald
thinks farmers and publishers have much in
common He says, Newspaper publishers find
their situation very similar to that of the farmer.
Prices of printing machinery and material have
not receded from the high levels, and right now
there is a distinct upward trend in the paper
ket. Newspaper subscription prices cannot be
advanced, and the luckless publisher has no.
choice in the matter-he must absorb the in
creased cost himself" However as things stand
at present, the publisher has better chance of
figuring part of this increase in on his "over-
head" which is something farmer, apparently,
is not supposed to have.

THE PROBLEMS ARE OURS.

"HE inclination of individuals is to believe
that the crises which they are called upon
to meet are, each in it's turn, the most try
ing, the most perplexfng, of any that have ever
been endured. Daily the lion in the path and
stand back, apprehensively and expectantly
awaiting some calamity that fails to materialize.
How unwisey we magnify the difficulties that
to be overcome! Times without number
those who have prevailed against seeming odds
have proved how vain it is to worry, how need
less it is to borrow trouble.
Some time, perhaps not so long hence it will
be understood and realized that these same in
telligent processes can be applied with equal eff
fectiveness to what the world regards as it's
larger problems. The problems of nation, of
people, are after ALL but the problems of the
individuals multiplied thousands or millions of
many times. There cannot be confusion of many
minds unless there is confusion among the ind-
viduals composing the mass.
But there are encouraging indications that
there is being attained though perhaps slowly
and by difficult methods, an understanding of
the great fact that the problems of the world are
but the problems of it's people, individually rath-
er than collectively. In the degree and to the
extent that this has been understood in the past,
perplexing and seemingly insurmountable diff
culties have been overcome. In that degree in
which the wisdom of the past and the knowl-
edge gained by experience and teaching are ap-
piled to today's problems will the pathway of pro-
gress and advancement be made clear
Yet the tendency is to look about us and OBJ
serve only the chaos caused by the work that re-
mains undone. To the timorous the task may
seem appalling. 1t is not. Rightly regarded it
is simple though not easy. 1t is not the simplest
thing in the world to set ones house in order
Many have failed at that task and because of
this there has been failure in performing the
larger, though no more important work of the
world. There may come time when we will all
realize the futility of attempting to go our own
selfish ways, sowing to the winds of pleasure
and passion, avarice and greed, while we expect
tos see exempified in the body polite composed
oflmillions of people similarly selfish and self
conferred, that perfection and wisdom which we
pretend to regard as SO essential in our govern
meI1ts.

Monday, March Goth, John D. Barry had
most excellent essay on Jealousy" published
lis column the editorial page of the MinneaI
Ills Tribune. From it we quote the closing pan
graphs. The emphasis placed certain ser
ences of these paragraphs is ours.
Jealousy, of course, is an expression of
the competitive spirit.
Among women competition is more
less closely related to what is essentially
personal, to possession, position, and to ap-
pearance.
"The close relation between love and
jealousy causes women to be more often
cused of the weakness than men. But there
is plenty of jealousy among men result
of the competition for the big prizes in life.
With men, however, it is, as a rule more
adroitly concealed.
"Many men know how to be jealous in
silence. Few women do. Their betrayals
may be insidious; but they are betrayals just
the same.
among men there is often to be MOTTO
ed one of the worst kinds of jealousy, felt
by the successful who, after reaching place
and power themselves long to keep back
those climbing to the same goal.
rs there any panacea for Jealousy, Is
there any cure?
"Surey there is. It's to be found in the
place where so much wisdom is stored in
the words of Christ.
eff we loved our neighbors as we love
ourselves we couldn't be jealous.
Jealousy begins with a sef-nfficted
wrong, with selfish concern that puts vir-
tually every oneof us in prison. So long as
we stay in prison we're bound to suffer from
a multitude of disorders. Jealousy happens
to.be one of the worst. The door to our free
dom is always unlocked. All we have to do
is to push it open.
But it takes some courage for us to
make the first move and, when we are once
out of prison, it takes character to keep from
going back"

The Second, Third, Seventh and Ninth Con-

Minneapolis has three members this Board of

the upkeep of this institution and it would seem
that they are at least entitled to recognition on

THE SOULS SPRING CLEANING

THE SOULS SPRING CLEANING
Yes, clean yer house, an clean yer she'd
An clean yer barn in ev'ry part;
But brush the cobwebs from yer head
An sweep the snowbank from yer heart.
Yes, wen spring cleanin' comes aroun'
Bring forth the duster an the broom
But rake yer fogy notions down,
An sweep yer dusty soul of gloom.
Sweep OF idees out with the dust,
An dress yer soul in newer style;
Scrape from yer min it's wornout crust,
An dump it in the rubbish pile
Sweep out the hates that burn an smart,
Bring in new loves serene an pure,
Aroun' the hearthstone of the heart
Place modern styles of furniture.
Clean out yer mOrril cubby- holes,
Sweep out the dirt, scrape off the scum;
IT'S cleaning time for healthy souls
Git up an dust! The spring hez come!
Clean out the corners of the brain,
Bear down with scrubbin' brush an soap,
An dump OF Fear into the rain,
An dust coy chair for hope
Clean out the brains deep rubbish hole,
Soak ev'ry Granny, great an small,
An in the front room of the soul
Hang potter pictures on the wall
Scrub up the winders of the mind,
Clean up, an let the spring begin;
Swing open wide the dusty blind,
An let the April sunshine in.
Plant flowers in the souls front yard
Set out new shade an blossom trees,
An let the SOUL once froze an hard
Sprout crocuses of new idees.
Yes, clean yer house, an clean yer shed,
An clean yer barn in ev'ry part;
But brush the cobwebs from yer head,
An sweep the snow-banks from we rheart!

SEPTEMBER PEACHES ARE
REPORTED TO Be PLENTIFUL

Approximately 445,00o bushels of
peaches or 20 per cent Of the New
Jersey crop are yet to be marketed.
according to the September 1 esti-
mate on the New Jersey peach crop
by the Jersey Fruit Growers Coop
erative Association. Marketing of
the large, yellow alberta peaches
will be at its height for another two
or three weeks, while the Iron
Mountain, a big white peach so pop
ular for late canning purposes, will
come upon the markets in quantity
by mid-September. The first week
of October will practically close New
Jerseys peach harvest, although
several very late varieties do not
mature until about that time.
The coming six weeks offer con-
sumers of New Jersey and adjacent
territory an unusual opportunity for
economical purchase Of peaches for
table use and canning; the associa-
ton states in the announcement of
the peach estimates.
The report says:
THE per cent of the crop still on
the trees is only slightly greater than
usual for September L each year, but
the production this year in New Jer-
sey, a third greater than the aver
age, leaves a September supply of
Jersey peaches which is much larger
than normal. Splendid weather for
ripening of the mid-season and late
varieties has advanced maturity of
the fruit, but not enough to make up
entirely the two weeks retarded de-
velopment caused by the cold wealth.
err early in the season.
Quality of the peaches still to be
harvested, as reported by members
Of the Jersey Fruit Growers Coop
erative Association through the CEN
trail and southern New Jersey peach
belt is excellent. The dry weather
of recent weeks has protected the
fruit from many of the insect and
fungous troubles SO common in rainy
seasons. 1t has also made possible
the best cultural methods in modern
orchards to force high color and
large size of the fruit. Then, too,
the uniform weather conditions have
made effective the spraying and
busting operations to control the
persistent mid and late summer fruit
pests which appear annually, rain or
shine"

NEW BUS ADDED
TO KEYPORT LINE

KEYPORT, Sept. 6. James
Doukas, of South Amboy, who is
operating a bus line between this
borough and Perth Amboy has add
ed a new bus to his already efficient
equipment. and expects to add others
as soon as he can secure them. Mr..
Doukas Immediately began operat-
ing his bus line upon the discon-
tinuation of the trolley line here and
has given satisfaction.
The request of Mr.. Rosenvinge to
operate a bus line between the
borough and Perth Amboy will
probably not be granted owing to
the satisfaction being given by the
present operator. Mr.. Doukas is
doing everything possible to main
tain a schedule between here and
Perth Amboy and the idea that OPP
position will increase good service
is offset by the fact that two bus
lines would not be a paying propos-
ition. However, a committee from
the borough council will meet with
Mr.. Diggin, Mr.. Rosenvinge's rep
resentative in the near future.
