SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 25.-The

persons from all sections of the
county for the past week is still GO
ing strong and will be brought to a
grand finale on Monday evening
when several prizes will be awarded
lucky persons. A one hundred pound
bag of sugar, donated by Benjamin
Strasser, will be given to the person
who comes nearest guessing the
number of beans in the jar at his
store. Much interest is being mani

A spacious stand with Mrs. Richard

all the rage at this time. Dancing
is still going great. The music
serves two purposes on an occasion
like this. The fancy steppers are
kept in time and the scene of the
carnival Is enlivened by the players.
The fire ladies are confident that
their initial affair will far surpass
their highest hopes. At the close of
the festivities their profits should
make a substantial deposit on the
fire apparatus they hope to acquire
before many moons
The weather man and Dick Ryan,

You Can Make or Mar

With the Kind of Walls You Put In It
Here are a few reasons why your Home should
have walls that can stand the wear:
The walls of every room are subject to an ap-
preciable amount of abuse. Sharp ends of
heavy furniture are sometimes pushed into the
wall. The backs of rocking chairs, ends of
beds, and corners of heavy trunks make I'M

NEARLY SCORE OF FLOODED COWS PERISH
IN $4,000 FIRE AT REX O. CHURCH FARM
ON west River ROAD, WEDNESDAY ?, NJ

Damage estimated at nearly $40 600
was caused late "Wednesday after
noon by a fire which DESTROYED two
barns, 16 or Is head of stock, Is tons
of hay and farm machinery belonging
to Rex o. Church, whose farm is
situated about three miles from this
city on the West River road. The
hay and buildings were insured but
Mr.. Church carried no insurance
upon the stock.
The fire originated from the ex-
plosion of an acetelyne lamp near
the hay-mow. and so swiftly did the
flames spread in the hay, that no op-
portunity was given Mr.. Church or
ms h1red man, to get the stock out,
with the exception of three cows
and the three horses.
When the fire started. Mr.. Fletcher.
the hired man, who was in the tie
up. was able to release two cows, AID
anothe was already united. These
he was unable to drive out, however,
and 1t was thought that they were
lost. but later were found in the
pasture where they had gone when
the flames became too hot One of
them was badly scotched but the
other two were uninjured.
The chemical truck from the Au-
gusta Fire station was called out,
but beyond playing the chemical hose
on the house to keep it>from catch
ing fire. they had little to do. That
they were able to save. the house
was due to the fact that the wind
blew the flames away from the house
and not toward it. as there is but

distance of so or 20 feet between
the barns and the house.
Mr.. Church in describing the man.
ner in which the fire originated, said
that he pulled the chain which lights
one OF the acetelyne lights with
which the house and barn are
equipped. This chain is so arranged
that 1t turns on the gas and at the
same time ignites it. This time the
gas failed to ignite and when the
chain was pulled again the globe
of the light had filled with gas, which
streamed UP as it ignited and the
names caught the hay in the NOW.
The smoke filled the barn so quickly
that he was unable to reach the tie
up to help release the cows.
There were about IS head of stock
In the barn at the time, including
milking cows. pair of fine, steers
and pure-blood Holstein bull. The
COWS were grade stock. The exact
number of cattle in the building
could not be learned as Mr.. Church
was unable to tell whether two
heifers which he owned had come
UP from the pasture with the other
cows or not.
Included in the machinery which
ne lost was a gasoline engine, a
manure spreader, q hav loader, and
the gas generating plant.
Mr.. Church ism milk dealer of this
city and Immediately after the fire,
he made arrangements with other
men living near him to take care of
his customers, so that they might
not be without their regular supply
Of milk.
