ed All enjoyed themselves in the u.s.

served. All regret that this is the

in attending these dances. They have
afforded us amusement in these dull

best of men," We have needed this

us from worrying for while we are
enjoying ourselves we forget to worry,
and worrying is bad for the soul, and
the appetite and brings on indiges-
ton. The worst kind of dyspeptics
are those who always stay at home
and don't get out and exchange ideas
with other people and have good
time occasionally,

CUT WORMS AND POTAS-
SUM MURIATE

University of Idaho,
Extension Division, Boise.
Attention of D. B. Whelen and Idaho's
County Agents.
Gentlemen:
One D. B. Whelen all excited, and
fearful too of being sighted in the
war on bugs and worms, got bit by
one of envy's germs. Stung to madness
by it's fury he thought himself both
Judge and jury, Charged deceit upon
yours truly and calls me guilty and
unruly Because his theory went to
smash when for cutworms I urged
potash.
Twas then his ignorance and his
fear brought his cries Of anguish near
"Give money back if they don't die; if
you would prove you do not lie, For
our cut and wire worms won't bend,
to any such ignominious end. "That
plan is no bit scientific; unknown to
US; and too specific. "It hasn't sin
gle point of merit, nor any record to
upbear it."
All that and even more he wrote in
county agents note. Telling them to
treat me rough when I appeared
selling stuff. Now, needless of his in
dignation I write here plain for all to
see of records kept in New Jersey
There the trail of cutworms cold,
and dead is decades old, and getting
older every year as many cutworms
die of fear Of potash salts, of Muriate
form which for them make the soil
too warm.

REPUBLICANS
NAME T|ERNAN
Endorsement of County Judge
Brings Protest from Men,
bers of County Committee

TOTTENVILLE, Aug, 9:-The en-
dorsement of County Judge j. larry
Herman by the Republican County
Committee at a meeting Tuesday
night as the Republican candidate
in the primaries to be held this fall
is bringing a storm of protests in
the ranks of the organization on
Staten Island. County Judge Tier
nan, who is a Democrat, has not
been named by the Democratic Coun-
Ity Committee as yet and for this
fact the protest is being made, it is
said. When the vote was taken the
endorsement of Herman was made
by 81 to 16. Guy Walser, an assist
ant United States District Attorney,
was named for Congress in the elev-
.enth congressional district and James
Lindsey for county clerk.
In the selection of assemblymen
for the two assembly districts on the
island Nicholas Reigl, was named
.drovette for the second district.
1t is expected that Assemblyman
William L. Vaughan, also a Totem
vile man will again be named for
the post. MIR Vaughan made an x
cellent record last year, when he put
a number of bills through that were
of interest to all sections of the is
land. The bridge bill for the erec-
ton of a bridge between Tottenville
and Perth Amboy for which a hear
ing was held before the New York
Bridge and Tunnel Commission on
Tuesday was introduced by him last
year and passed.

WEATHER AND CROPS

TRENTON, Aug. 9.-Synopsis OF
weather and crop conditions in New
Jersey for the week ending Tuesday,
August Z, 1923.
There were moderate showers over
the greater portion of the state, oc-
curing on various days, but varying
from practically nothing in the ex-
IRENE northeastern sections, to a
severely heavy downpour in south
western counties on Sunday after
noon, attended by much flooding of
cellars, bursting dams, flooding of
fields, etc. The weather has been
generally cloudy. humid and warm,
thus a~ffording excellent growing con
ditions, and providing the needed
soil moisture so that considerable
blowing for rye and wheat and seed
Ing of grass could be accomplished.
In many instances, however, there
has been insufficient rainfall to re-
store depleted water supply. Corn is
mostly very good, and is caring well.

Public Institutions and Agencies.
Mr.. Thompson also made a careful
investigation at the almshouse. A
letter from the department gave the
city much credit for the manner in
which the almshouse is kept. In
glowing terms the department laud-
ed the work of Mrs. Agnes Scully,
matron of the house. They COM
mented on the personal n in
which Mrs. Scully treated the in
mates of the house, and rated the
house very high.
The letter in reference to he con-
domination of the city jail is as fol-
lows:
ITO the Mayor and Common Council,
South Amboy:
"An inspection of your city Jail
by Mr.. Thompson, of our depart
ment, shows same to consist of five
brick cells, with iron CRATE doors in
the cellar of a brick building. The
Jail is dark, damp and i'll ventilated
and insanitary. The cell beds are
made of wood and no blankets or
bedding and covering OF any kind is
provided. The Jail is entirely made
quate, and is not a fit place to Sc
quester human beings, and is con-
demned by this department.
Its use should be discontinued at
the earliest possible date.
Kindly advise what action you
take on this communication. Our
department will gladly cooperate
with you in your efforts to secure
proper jail facilities for South Am
boy.
Respectfully,
BURDETTE G. LEWIS,
Commissioner"
