In recommending more stringent
laws to prevent the entry of unde-
sirable aliens, the Secretary declared
the present prohibitive statutes could
not be enforced successfully until
heavier penalties were authorized.
He suggested that, in addition to de-
portation, those who enter the coun-
try illegally be given a Jail sentence
OF not more than a year or q fine of
not more than $500. Any alien found
in the United States after having been
onoe excluded, he suggested, should
be made liable to Imprisonment for
not more than two years or q. fine of
not moro than $1,000.
One Of the chief sources Of illegal
entity, the report said, lay in the
des&rtion of alien seamen from for
eigh ships in American ports. In
the last fiscal year the number OF
such desertions reported was 23,194.
with those in New York alone total
ing 14,734. In the previous year the
number for all ports had been only
5,87s. The Secretary recommended
that instead of bringing suoh aliens

law, the Labor Department be EN-

TAX FORMS MUCH SIMPLER

Income tax forms for taxpayers hav-
ing an income of $4,000 or less derived
chiefly from salaries and wages will
be much simpler this year, according
to NJ. L. Seidman, C. P. A. tax expert
of Seidman & Seidman, certified pub
lie accountants.
The new form will consist of only
a single sheet, one side of which will
be devoted to the brief statement of
income and deductions, and the other
side will set forth instructions for
making the return. Formerly, tax
payers in this class had to state their
income on a return that consisted of
six pages, on which questions appear
ed pertaining not only to salaries and
wages, but to income from business,
sale of real estate, etc.

The annual meeting of the Salen

fine and the real farmers had lots OF
work to do. The evening attendance
was larger to hear the interesting
lecture.

spoke and gave many good sugges'
tions on the management of farms
C. R. Inglee, County Agent, River
head, Long Island, spoke on Potato
Seed grown in South Jersey, which
are becoming famous, also on other
seed potatoes.
In the evening Allen w. Crissey,
Field Man for the National Holstein-
Freisian Association, told of the sue
cess dairymen are having with the
Holstein cows and the benefit of CO.
operation of dairymen. He also gave
a good word for South Jersey seed
potatoes.
S. L. Strivings, former president OF
n. Y. Farm Federation Bureau and
Overseer of New York State Grange,
of CASTLE, spoke on efficiency and CO.
operation in farming. He said that
farmers must be more intelligent IN
adopting business methods and use
labor saving devices wherever possible.
Life on the farm is becoming more
strenuous and women are seen work
ing the fields and Sundays are being
utilized for continuous work when the
farmers, like others, need one day rest
in seven. The place for women is In
the house. If she does her part there
well that is all that should be required
of her. The farmer never profits one
cent by working on Sunday. If a
farmers idea of efficiency is to work
seven days, cut out the efficiency and
live longer on less profits.
Mr.. Strivings paid a high compi
ment to Salem County by relating the
fact that the county corn record had
not been equalled anywhere in the
United States, or in the world. Last
year it was proven to him that on one
acre of land 1905 bushels of shelled
corn had been raised. That was re-
markable and about three times as
much as the average yield. He had
been informed that one farmer this
year had gotten 1857 bushels of corn
from one acre. Those are records to
be proud of and shows that Salem
County is the garden spot of the world
when intelligent thought and skilled
labor are applied to the land.
Howard B. Hancock, Salem County
boy, now President of Cumberlnd
County Board of Agriculture, and
Fred Jackson, Cumberland Farm
Agent, gave brief, instructive talks.
Three reels of motion pictures were
shown of potato crops, bee culture and
work of U. S. Farm Bureau Fedora
ton.
The audience viewed the exhibits
of corn and potatoes for which prizes
were given.

people will be keeping their ears
close To the ground. hoping to catch
some authoritative word concerning
the negotiations now in progress.
Real Estate Firm Negotiates
Ii Is stated that SO far. all transac-
tions have been made with the own
ers of the mill property. who are
chiefly members of the Nightingale
and Morse families, with Providence
real estate concern of wide rcputa-
ton. This latter firm has not, as yet.
disclosed the identity of the clients
for whom they are negotiating. Their
appraisers, have inspected the whole
of the mills property. including its
machinery, and have arrived at what
they figure is its fair value, and on
their decision an offer has been made
to the owners OF the mill. Whether
Il will be accepted depends on the out
come of the negotiations now in prog
ress.
All of the mill property owned by
the company. with the exception Of
its water power and privileges and

Mill Company Hard Hit
The Nightingale Morse Mills, Inc,
was hit hard when the slump came
following the war. Its financial con-
dition was severely impaired. but like
many. many other mills, have been
able TO maintain operations, though
az times on a eurtailed basis. More
than year ago one of the mills was
closed and later was sold to the Ad-
ans Mfg. Co.
The business outlook in the cotton
textile industry Is not as brilliant as
desired. Buyers are not entering the
market, and the result is that mills
In general. including the Nightifs-
gale. Morse plant. are not receiving
orders for the manufactured product.
The result IA. that unless orders are
Forthcoming IN the course Of the next
few weeks. the Nightingale Morse
mills, il is stated, viii be forced 10

these orders will come and operations

TRUSTEES TO RAISE
FUND FOR CEMETERY
Must Secure Contributions to
Develop Landscape About
Memorial Chapel
Beautiful Park, With Lake and Drive
ways. Included In Plans

Development Of landscape scheme
of sufficiently elaborte character as TO
be In keeping with the beautiful new
Tourtellotte Memorial Chapel now in
process of erection in Grove Street
cemetery, is the next task of the trus-
tees. But because Of lack of funds.
they find themselves unable 70 carry
out their plans.
That this work may moi be heid up
longer than necessary and as a means
of raising the needed funds. the trus
tees have decided 10 appeal TO the
people Of Putnam and vicinity. who
are interested in the cemetery and
want it to be beautiful, to give of
their means to make this possible.
Chapel viii Be Handsome Structure
The new Tourtellotte Chapel will
be as beautiful a cemetery memorial
as there is in this part OF the coun-
try. II should have an appropriate
setting so TO speak. The grounds
about the building should be as at
traetive as the building will be. The
situation was inspected by land
scape gardener and he sketehed his
conception of the proper design. AZ
ter il was carefully considered, il
was accepted. But 10 carry 1t ont
will require considerable money, and
at present this is not available. This
IS where those who wish to contribute
can have part. The landscape
gardeners sketch of the proposed
cemetery development will be found
on another page in this issue of The
Patriot.
Beautiful Pond
Take for instance the pond that is
Immediately in the rear Of the chapel.
Il is called Kings Pond and in the
winter has been. for years, a popular
skating place. II is planned TO alter
the outline of the pond and build a
wall all around il and otherwise make
il very attractive. IL is suggested
that If someone wanted TO help in the
present crisis, he or she could do so
in an appreciated way by providing
funds for this particular piece of
work. Then the development scheme
provides for the creation of graceful
drives about the chapel and the pond
and the laying out and development
of lawns and other landscape features.
300 Burial Lots Available
At the rear of the lake and extend
ing hack 10 the Cemetery Association
line, there would be developed about
300 burial lots and places along drive
ways, in the sides of little hills along
the way, highly desirable locations
for about six or eight mausoleums
The ereation of these new burial lots
will be financed by the Cemetery
Association in the years 10 come. from
the normal income from sale of lots
and such like.
11e arousing Of public interest in
this development plan and the raising
of sufficient money TO finance IL, is the
immediate task of the trustees, and
they are soon 10 set TO work earnestly
in their endeavor TO accomplish what
must be attained.
