How did that happen2'
asked the rabbit.


him, and at last he took the clothes
line in his paw and went out i'll the
yard to string it between the posts,
the trees and the hooks on the side
porch.
"And after 1 finish I'll 90 ad-
venturing," said Uncle Wiggily.
He was tying knots in the line
to hold it firmly when, all of sud
den the bunny gentleman heard a
sad voice crying down in the long
grass near one of the clothes posts.
"That sounds like trouble,'' said
Mr.. Longears.
cit is trouble, and I'm in it!''
the voice exclaimed. "At least the
trouble is on me, which is much the
same thing
"Who are you and what sort Of
trouble is on you'' asked the bun
ny.
"I'm a mud turtle and the trou-
bic on me is a tightly pinching
clothes pin was the answer. "And
the worst of it is that the clothes
pin is on my tail and / can't draw
my tail up inside my shell and
can't get the clothes pin off. Oh,
dear!"
Uncle Wiggilv looked down into
the grass and saw crawling along a
poor mud turtle gentleman with a
clothes pin fastened tightly on his
tail.
GLOW did that happcn'" asked
the rabbit.
"Oh, L switched my tail from side
TO side as L crawled through the
grass" said the voice of the tur-
tie, "and l swung it into the
crotch of clothes pin which stuck
so tightly to me that l can't get it
off. And, oh, how it pinches!
"I II soon stop that" said I'm
Gle Wiggily kindly, and he took the
pin from the turtles tail.
"Thank yOu," murmurcd the
crawling creature as Uncle Wiggily
went on fastening up the line for
Nurse Jane.
And when he had almost finished
with but the handkerchief line to
string between the peach tree and
the side porch, all of sudden out
from the tall weeds sprang the
Woozie Wolf.
"Now for some cars to nibblc, >
howlcd the Wolf, and he was just
going to spring at Uncle Wiggily
and nip him, when the turtle call
ed:
"Wind the line around him, I'm
Gle Wiggily, and bind him TO the
tree. Then he can't get you"
"Good! I'll do i'll" exclaimed
Mr.. Longears. So with the end Of
the line in his paws the rabbit ran
around the tree and the Wolf, tang
ling the bad chap up in the coils
of rope so he couldn t get loose.
And then the turtle slipped up be-
hind the Woozie fellow and slipped
on the VOLTS tail pinching
clothes pin.
"Oh, dear me! So many things
are happening!" howled the Wolf.
81 wish | had let Uncle Wiggily
alonel Ill be good if you let me
got" But they wouldn't let him
go until the Police Dog came to ar
res thin, and every one said Uncle
Wiggily was very brave and that
the turtle was very smart to think
Of what TO do.
And if the church stecple doesn t
bend down and lean over to tickle
the rocking horse in the ribs, III
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily

AMMONIA SULPHATE
REDUCES POTATO SCAB

In view of the great tendency of
scab to appear when the sonl is aka
line, DR.. w. H. Martin, specialist in
potato diseases at the State College
of Agriculture, suggests that the po-
tato grower exercise caution in the
use of alkaline materials, such as lime
and nitrate of soda.
Potato scab has long since been the
aus of serious losses to the potato
of the State. Although this
disease was less sever than usual
during the past season., few fields
were observed to be entirely free from
it. Many fields were observed where
as much as 80 per cent of the crop
was so scabby is to be unsaleable. 1t
is recognized that scab is usually
most severe on an alkaline soil and
that as the soil acidity is increased
the severity of the scab attack dis
eases
One instance was noticed recently
nv the potato specialist where all of
the nitrogen in a complete fertilizer
was derived of nitrate of soda, with the
result that a large portion of the crop
was so scabby as to be unsaleable.
On this same farm, on land where sui
phate of ammonia WIS used as a
source of nitrogen, a considerable re-
d1ction in scab was observed.
The influence of ammonia sulphate
and nitrate of soda in the development
of scab is shown by the results OF a
test conducted in 1921. Where all nj
trate of soda was used only 20 per
cent of the crop was clean, as COM
pared with AZ per cent where sulphates
of ammonia was used. In view OF
these results the potato grower can
we'll afford to give serious considera-
ton of source of nitrogen in his pc.
tato fertilizer and avoid n use OF
large amounts of nitrate of soda
where scabby potatoes have been
grown in the past. Further informa,
ton on this subject may be obtained
by writing to the New Jersey Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at
New Brunswick.

WILSON ~DETHRONED KING

President Wilson's pen was mightier
than a sword when he wrote October
II, 1918, mo armistice is possible SO
long as Germany is in the hands of
the military power which wrecked the
peace of the world"
On October % Wilson wrote: 'The
people of the world have, and IAN have
no confidence in the word of those
who until now have directed the Ger
mar policy"
Then the German Kaiser and all his
family quit Germany.
The German Kaiser's son, the Crown
Prince, returned to Germany and
there are reports that the Kaiser and
his family are preparing to leave Hol-
land and return to Germany to re-
store the monarchy.
Have you heard President Coolidge
on Secretary of State Hughes write
anything to oppose what America
fought for? 1t is enough for every
.tlue American to get on guard and
every American Legion mar to polish
up his gun.

GOV. JACK WALTON PUT OUT

Gov Walton, who said he was per-
secuted by the Khan and challenged all
the people of Oklahoma with his law
lessness, while governor less than a
year, was impeached by a twclthirds
vote of the Senate last Monday and re-
moved from office. Hewasfound guilty
of stopping a grand jury, stopping the
legislature from meeting, padding pay
rolls, putting at the head of the State
University with Militia an unfit mar
and pardoning an unusual number of
criminals.
It was an uprising of the honest
citizens who kicked him out.
Honest citizens have no fear of any
Klan.
Walton was as bold as a lion, but
he was too politically rotten for the
woolly west.
The latest is that Jack Walton. who
had militia guns pointed on a grand
Jury, has been indicted by a grand
Jury and is on his way to the peni-
tertiary.
It might be we'll for Mayor Bader,
of Atlantic City, whose oath of office
is a scrap of paper and who presides
over the most politically rotten city in
Naw JERSEY, to consider what hap
pened to Louis Kuenhle and Jack
Walton.
Woodrow Wilson, while Governor of
New Jersey, had Louis Kuenhle sent
to State Prison for political graft in
Atlantic City. Mavor Bader may
wisely study up what 100 percent
Americanism means and avoid fol-
lowing in the steps of KuenhIe and
Walton.

KISSED THE POPE'S TOE

Very few daily newspapers publish
the fact that King Alfonso and his
consort Queen Victoria, visited Rome
and the Vatican last Monday.
Achilles Ratti, Bishop of Rome called
the Pope, received them with medi-
eval regal splendor. They knelt and
kissed the Pope's toe as a tribute to
their holy father.
Those big newspaper owners and
publishers who believe in such anc-
lent pagan custom did not give much
account of that to their readers, be-
cause it appears ludicrous to those
who hold a kingship in their citizen
ship, by not being subjects to any
foreign p~otentate. To believe that
Anchilles Ratti, a mar in Rome, can
forgive the sins of a man in Spain or
America is ludicrous to a full-minded
American.

The fact that the four dry Senators
from Cape May, Cumberland County,
Salem and Gloucester joined with the
wet Senators of Essex, Bergen and
Passaic Counties as tools of U. S. Sen
ator Walter f. Edge, does not set well
in the stomach of those who conscien-
tiously voted for these men to uphold
the dry cause all along the line. Sen
ator Edge is politically rotten and
comes from that politically rotten city
of Atlantic which needs a Khan pUrifi-
cation. To uphold Edge with his rum
running machine is to give him pre-
stige for his reelection next year.
Some feel that they have been sold
out.

Hiram Johnson Senator from Cali
fornia, has announced his candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
President. He was the Vice-President
candidate with Theodore Roosevelt in
1912, and a candidate for the nomina-
ton in 1920.
Hi johnson has his ideas and makes
trouble for the r~eactionaries in his
party, but as a progressive he has be-
come an Anticipated little American
and a bitter reactionary in information
al affairs.
He has failed to keep ste pto the
music of the union by uniting nations
in a League for Peace under a coven-
ant and a Court of International Dem
ocracy.

SENATOR EDGE WET
DOMINATES STATE SENATE

The caucus Of the Republican State
Senators was held Tuesday i'm Trenton,
to select officers to preside at the next
session Of the Legislature which meets
the second Tuesday in January, 1921.
Senator Firman N. Reeves Of Cum
berland County, was agreed upon as
Senate President and Senator William
H. Bright of Cape May County, for
Republican floor leader in the 1924
session. The candidates are cOnsld-
cred as supporters of United States
Senator Walter f. Edge next year In
his contest to be reelected United
States Senator. Reeves and Bright
were elected by caucus vote of 9 to 8.
Election of Reeves and Bright is
reverse for the group of Senators led
by last years majority leader, VIM.
A. Stevens of Monmouth. Stevens
was the unsuccessful candidate
against Reeves. Bright triumphed
over Senator Emmor Roberts of Bur
lington.
The caucus was called by Senator
Stevens. Instead of meeting prom
pity, the II Republican representa-
ives divided into two groups, nine at
the Stacy-Trent Hotel, including Sen
ator-elect Borton of Salem, who ap-
p~arently had the deciding vote. The
other eight Senators, including VIM.
Fl. Blackwell of Mercer, met in the
State House.
S~enator-elect Harrison of Essex,
an Edge supporter, was said to have
favored a compromise slate of Stew
ems for president, with Bright for
leader. Efforts were made by both
wet and dry sy~mpathizers to swing
Borton to Stevens. Borton, it is be
ieved, was held in line for the Edge
slate by former Senator Collins b.
Allen of Salem County, an Edge lieu
tenant.
Those voting for the Reeves and
Bright slate were Richards of Allan
tic; Mackay of Bergen; Bright of
Cape May; Reeves of Cumberland;
Harrison of Essex; Davis of Glouces-
ter; Mathis of Ocean; Smith of Pas
sale; and Borton of Salem.
Those favoring Stevens and Rob
erts were: Roberts of Burlington;
Woodruff of Camden; Blackwell of
Mercer; Larson of Middlesex; Stew
ems of Monmouth; Whitney of Nor
ris; Case of Somerset; Pierson of
Unions.
Senator Stevens was the man who
knocked out the wet element in the
Republican State convention.
Another conference will be held on
December 4, when a secretary of the
Senate will be elected to succeed VIM.
H. Albright of Gloucester County,
who will retire when the Legislature
convenes in January.

there the similarity ends.

but foisting them on the people of

Penn Grove Record, October l2th.
and was as follows:
"When Charles NJ. Bryan became
Governor Of Nebraska last year. and
the coal operators and miners threat
ened to freeze the people, he had the
coal moved and sold in municipal coal
yards without eXtortionate prices. A
little Organism in the minds Of Gov
ernors PinchOt and Silzer would bene-
fit the people.
"The coal which the dealers sold for
$14.50 a ton, Bryan sold for $1,000 a
ton.
National reforms has originated in
the West during the past fifty years
and it has been hard fighting to have
the New Light" penetrate the East
ern minds. People in this region
could stand a little of the New Bryan
Heat"
This is not the first time Nh. Bryan
took notice of editorials in the Penns
Grove Record. In 1906, an editorial
was copied from the Penns Grove
Record and printed in his widely read
weekly paper, The Commoner, and was
thought worthy enough to reprint in
the book, The Commoner Condensed,
page 204, volume VI.
In future years William j. Bryan's
Commoner Condensed will be text
books for Democrats like the Jeffer-
sonian Cyclopedia, from which stu
dents will learn the foundations of
true Democracy.

Gov. Silzer says, Gov. Pinchot, of
Pennsylvania, is to blame for the high
price of coal. William ]. Bryan says
that Governors Silzer and Pinchot can
both do what Governor Charles W.
Bryan did in Nebraska to give cheaper
coal. Thus the buck is passed and the
people pay the high prices.
