HOVER HOLDS
FINE FAIR
Community Day in Lower
Valley Neighborhood
is Big Success

Thanksgiving Day 1929 will doubt
less long be remembered by che peo-
pie of Hover - ~ occasion Of their
First Community Fair. Regardless
of the fact that the day was one on
which American tradition inclines
folk strongly toward their own family
dinner tables and firesides, the fair
was an unqualified success.
To attempt to stage display of
farm products on the eve of winter
requires optimism and the optimism
of those Hover people was fully JUS
titled in the farm specimens arrayed
in the assembly room Of the High
School building. Just about every
thing, excepting of course, few of
the earlier fruits, was shown, and
CONSPICUOUS on the display tables were
red ripe strawberries and some big
fat pecan nuts, both suggestive of the
mild climate Of the Hover district.
While the lateness of the season
was q handicap to the fruit exhibits
no such limitations were placed on
the showing of art, industrial and
class room work of the schools, the
display of needlework in the woman's
or the antique booth.
The work of the nigh school classes
directed by Mrs. Eva Kahler, the pri-
mary exhibits under the direction Of
Miss Jennie Dresser, and the basket
ry and the graphic geography exhib-
its of the upper grades directed by
Mrs. Masters were of a high order
and reflected credit alike on the pupils
and their teachers. An attractive ex-
hibit was also made by the Brown
school, in the Horse Heaven hills
which is taught by Mrs. w. E. Weir.
The antique booth arranged by Mrs.
'Cantwell and he high school girls
contained many interesting articles.
Not the least interesting especially to
the newcomers, were several of the
Hover Sunshine q weekly newspaper
printed in the boom days. Another in
teresting article was an old powder
horn exhibited by e. e. Toothaker,
This was carried in the Revolutionary
war by Andrew jackson Toothaker
and in the Civil war by William
|Toothaker.
A rather unique feature was an ex-
hibit of interesting photographs most
of which were contributed by the Ash
by, Hampton, Cochran and Geiszler
families.
At 2:3O in the aftrnoon a commun-
ity Thanksgiving dinner with Turkey
and all the trimmings was served
in the gymnasium. One hundred nine
ty people sat at the tables.
In the evening a musical and speak
ing program was given as follows:
instrumental duet, Sue and Dorothy
Ashby; invocation, the Rev. Geiszler;
address sof welcome, w. E. Weir;
superintendent of schools; solo, Emil
Regnier; address, Lee NJ. Lampson;
!G. Warnock; violin solo, Marion Mas
|G. WrnoclS; violin solo, Marion Mas
tiers; vocal solo, Mrs. John Cochran.
The fair premium list and program
was printed on the high school press.
The Cemetery association will hold
la business meeting Tuesday after

CRIMEA TODAY IS
HOPELESS WASTE
Once Known as The Russian Ri
Viera" Beloved Health Resort

Alushta, Cfimea, Aug. %. The
| Crimea, the beloved health resort OF
the old days and known as the Rus
sian Riviera once filled with beauti-
full palaces surrounded by flowers,
vineyards and magnificent fruit gar
dens. lies now fowerless and ruined
as a result of the civil war and last
years famine.
Many of the owners of these villas,
vineyards and fruit gardens belonged
TO the upper classes and lived in CEN
trail Russia, coming here for their re-
taxation. Large numbers fled the
country years ago, while others, hay
ing thrown in Their lot with General
Wrangel, became'the scapegoats of his
acts after his defe,t and paid the
death penalty during the terror which
followed the second occupation of the
Crimea by the bolsheviks.
The Crimea has not escaped the eff
fects of naturalization, confiscation
and acquisitions, and while nominally
the immense vineyards and magnif-
cent gardens have been declared ma
tionalized, as matter of fact they
are nobody's property. Vineyards and
gardens stood unguarded for several
years, with the, result that everything
went to the dogs. The n wine stocks
dried, and a majority of the best fruit
trees died. Thousands of acres of al
mond, apricot, peach and pear trees
and vineyards are today absolutely
worthless, and many year will have
to pass before they can be brought to
life again.
The same is true of agriculture and
Despite the Reconstruction
work carried on by the Crimean I'm

mean agriculture and existing minor

U. s. MARINES MAKE
COURAGEOUS RESCUE
Private Melvin Griggs and Russell NJ.
Anderson Save Hawaiian Prison.
ers from Burning Prison.

Port-Au- Prince, Haiti, Aug. "a
The initiative and courage of two
| privates of the Marine Corps saved
| the lives recently of IA Hawaiian priS-
oners who were trapped in a blazing
prison in the village of Croix des
Bouquets. Official commentator of
the two men in question, Melvin J. B.
Griggs of Cincinnati. Ohio, and Rus
sell M. Anderson of Ellsville, Mississ-
ippi was forwarded to the Navy De-
partment by Brig. Jen. John Fl. Rus
sell, the American High Commission
er to Haiti, and by their brigade COM
mander, Col. Theodore P. Kane. =.
The prison at Croix DIES Bouquets is
constructed of heavy cement walls
covered with matched roof. A spark
from the prison kitchen ignited the
roof, and the guards were successful
in liberating the women prisoners. In
the cndeavor to release the fourteen
mn confined in separate quarters the
key became damned in the lock, and
efforts to break the lock with stone
by the native guards were unavailing.
Griggs and Anderson riding in the
vicinity, were attracted by the blaze
and rushed to the spot. While Hal
tians dashed water against the blazing
prison. the Americans broke through
the wall of fire that blocked the pris-
on door, and smashed the lock with
an, iron bar. They then entered the
prison and dragged the half-suffocat-
ed prisoners to safety. Both men
were slightly burned while risking
their lives. i

SAGE TEA TURNS

application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hun

Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture: you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can
always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
the hair. taking one small strand at
time: by morning the gray hair has
disappeared. and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and

CHEATING SELF

Word comes over The cable from Germany that Ply
Rontoen, discoverer of the Xray and who died and was crS
mated recently, spent his last years in poverty.
He refused to patent his discovery, believing it SO valuable
that he should give it to the world without making a profit
from it himself. His chief income when he died was a pen
sion of $50 a year. He lived at the home of a friend.
We have tremendous respect for Prot. Rontgens high
idealsm. We do not believe that his wonderful brain was
capable of having the deviation from normal that makes
egolnaniacs desire to pose as martyrs. nevertheless, he was
a martyr, a victim Of his ideals.
He was honest with the world.
But was lie really honest with himself!
From cradle to grave we have the theory OF honesty
drummed into us. Did you ever observe that mostly this hon
esty has to do with honesty in our relations to others-aha that
little is said about honesty to ourselves?
It is dishonest to do less or to give less than we are paid
for, making due allowances for the profit system which is In
dispensable under our present system Of economics.
Tt is dishonest to steal.
Tt is dishonest to pay a man less than he is worth-agaln
making allowances for the necessary margin OF profit to the
employer.
rally more than we are paid for. Stripped OF bunk, there
is nothing admirable in Old Faithful who slaves his life away
at $65 a month on a job that should pay him 500. That's
an unfair arrangement, and anything unfair is a form OF dis
honesty. This probably will be called radical, by people
who utilize "force of circumstances" to exact eAorbitant
profit from the unfortunate who cannot help themselves.
You today are not the same person you were years ago.
And the you of the future will be different from the you OF
today. The future you will be a worn~out machine, Win earn-
ing power reduced. And you owe, to the future you, q just
return on today's services SO that you Will not cneat Toe
future you.
That individual Of the future, YOU, is depending on you
of today not to cheat him.
Rontgen, discoverer of the mysterious and Individual a
ray, cheated his future self.
It's a good idea to apply, TO this idea, this brake: 1t is
as dishonest to attempt to get more than we are entitled too,
as it is to take less.

A SUCCESSFUL HEARING

Il Perth Amboy made an excellent showing at the hearing be.
fore the legislative committee in Trenton yesterday when the
Hoffman bill, providing that the money the state receives through
the Morris canal settlement be used TO buy the right of way for
the shin canal across the state from Raritan bay to Delaware river;
a. nnder consideration. While there was no organized attempt
"a send a delegation from this city, a great many Perth Amboyans
espere on hand and showed by their attendance at the hearing
hat they were interested.
= Mayor Wilson was on hand representing the city government
and Others, either as individuals or as representatives OF different
organizations, were there to snow that cru annoy Is aHNe
to the situation.
II was. perhaps, one OF the most important hearings held in
Trenton during the present session. With several men of national
reputation present as well as prominent state leaders, all speaking
in favor of the bill, it was not surprising that many of the mem
rsbers of the assembly and senator's, too, were on hand and listened
.attentiveIv to what was aid. The legislators had impressed upon
them the fact that the good faith of New Jersey was at stake; the
nation is looking to the state to make good its promise to buy
eha right of way for this waterway. There could be no more apI
oropriate use made of the money received in the Morris sanal
settlement than to turn it over for ship canal purposes.
II any suggestion might be made in regard to the bill it would
"a that Governor sizer be authorized to appoint a commission to-
carry out the states obligation in connection with the canal, and
he Morris canal money be placed in the hands of the commission
10 buy the right of way.
what was said at Trenton yesterday has been said time and time
aoain. Action is what is needed now something should be done
soward the actual contamination Of the scheme. With a ship canal
commission appointed and the Morris canal money placed at its
disposal, the right of way for the waterway should first be Sc
,ured and then the commission should press the project before
ongres until an appropriation is made by the federal govern.
ment for the construction of the canal.
The money that this canal would bring into the state by in
dustries being established along its banks, not to mention the
increase in ratables due to the canal development, would more
than repay the state for its share of the expense of the waterway.
Nav ID the time to press this great project to a conclusion. Perth
Anboy is to follow up the hearing of yesterday with a mass meet
= ii this city next Monday night. 1t is up to the people to get
behind the agitation and whoop it up.
