In her native Denmark, eighteen
years ago, Mrs. Nelson was a ma
chinist's apprentice in her husbands
shop. When he died she became
s~tewardess of a transatlantic liner
and came to America. She couldn't
get a woman's job, 80 she became a
machinist in the Erie Railway shops
and later an electric welder. The
quality of her work soon led to her
employment by an electric welding

Since then she has capered about
on smok estacks, skyscrapers and
water towers. In one instance, a
high bridge job at Kingston, N. Y

NAMED
IN SHERIFF RACE
Woodbridge Man Mentioned
as Likely Candidate on Re-
publican Ticket
STRONG SLATE MADE UP
Favor Candidate for Sheriff
Coming From Rural Dis
triCt Instead of City
R SLATE MADE UP

Due to the fact that the rural COM
munities have rolled Up handsome
majorities in the past to the Repub-
lican party in this county, indications
are that an effort will be made by
the Republicans to select a mar for
sheriff who comes from a rural COM
munity. At the present time all IN
dications point to the fact that the
Republicans are looking with much
favor on Woodbridge as the possible
locality in which to find a candidate
for this office.
As Woodbridge has not been hon
ored with an elective office since J.
Fl. Thayer Martin was a member of
the assembly. some seven or eight
years ago, the party leaders are
deavoring to select a sheriff candi-
date from material outstanding in
that township. Among those who
are being considered are: John II.
Lessen. county road supervisor and
Township Committeeman William
Hoy. A third name has entered
the discussions, it being that of Fred
Anness, a well known manufacturer.
The Republican leaders feel. it is
understood, that Anness would make
as strong a candidate as they could
obtain for the coming contest and
they realize that a good man will
have to be put into the race as they
will have a stiff fight on their hands.
They seem to be of the opinion that
with Anness heading the ticket for
sheriff they have a ticket that will
assure success in the November cleo
ton.
For assembly it is expected that
the present incumbents, Harold G.
Hoffman, of South Amboy. and
Thomas l.. Hanson. of this city, will
again be candidates. They will, it is
believed, receive the undivided party
support. The third place on the tic
ket will no doubt be left open to any
one who may desire to enter the con-
test. 1t is said that Franklin N.
Richie will be a candidate for this
office.
AS for freebooter, there seem to
be no doubt but that William 5. Dey,
of South Amboy; Walter Quaken-
bush. of this city. and J. Fred 0rpen,
of New Brunswick. will be candi-
dates for reelection. 1t is believed
they will have the support OF the
Republican machine.
Although there does not appear to
be any opposition TO the organization
candidates at this time, it is likely
that as the time for the election
comes around, other candidates will
make themselves known as in years
past. The statement on the part of
the Democrats that they expect to
sweep the county next November,
has created a stir in the Republican
ranks that bids well to start a move
ment all along the line to strengthen
the machine for a stiff political
fight this fall.

Feed All Young Chicks
Little but Do It Often

Young chicks should be fed a little
at a time and often. They should be
fed early in the morning and just be.
fore going to bed at night, and not
less than two times in the intervening
period. For the first two weeks they
may be fed three meals of soft feed
and two of hard, feeding less soft feed
as they grow older.
No more moistened soft feed should
be given at one time than they will
eat up clean. II any feed is left 1t
should be removed or ii will grow sour
and canse bowel looSenesS and dysen-
fiery. The finely cracked grains may
be safely used from tine start. but the
chicks do not as a rule grow as rap
idly as when a part of the feed Is
ground. When the chicks are from
four to six weeks old the frequency
Of feeding may he decreased to three
times IA day.
From the very first chicks should be
induced to exercise. Activity Is a
prime factor in promoting health and
growth. Feed grain in the litter, and
make them scratch for it. A little fine
chaf or finely cut clover makes a
good litter.

Decayed Animal Causes
Limberneck Among Fowls

Limberneck is recognized by the fact
that the fowl seems to lose control of
its neck muscles. thereby allowing the
head to hang down and touch the
ground. The fowl seems powerless to
raise the head or have any control OF
IT.
The trouble, according to Harry
Embleton. professor Of poultry hus-
bandry at Oklahoma, A. and NJ. college,
is brought about by the eating Of de-
cayed animal matter. THE best means,
therefore, of preventing further trou-
Bile is to look the premises owe for a
carcass Of some kind" Embleton says.
"In some cases we have found il to be
rabbits, in others, snakes or %carcasses
Of fowls. Castor oil given by means of
a small funnel and a rubber tube insert
ed in the food passage seems to help
somewhat in restoring the affected
birds to health"

POULTRY POINTS

The rearing Of ducks for market on
a large scale requires extensive capt
tai aud experience.
About 80 per e Of the chicks
Matched die. For every six eggs used
for Matching purposes II mature
pullet is produced.
After the growing poults shoot the
red' as 1t is called, that is, after the
bright red begins to show on their
heads and necks, there Is comparative
ly little danger of loss except through
accident or hostile animals.
A flock of turkeys requires lots Of
water during warm weather. BE sure
that a fresh supply, in a clean pail or
keg. is always available.
Practically all tho large duck farms
are situated on streams VI running
water. and this water aids greatly in
successful duck farming.
When hens become too fat the re-
suit is apt to be egg bound, soft and
irregularly shaped eggs, dizziness,
apoplexy. liver complaint and kindred
diseases.
