Farmers Message to Farmers

1t is reported in Holy Writ that a hav-
ing considerable money, oxen, asses and other
property, developed a case of nervousness or
something and concluded to get his mind off
of business for a while, he disposed of his
holdings temporarily and sadded his ass and
started out to what he could see from his
seat at the steering gear.
They had banks in those days, no news
papers and no windshields, but human nature
and horse sense have always been the same
The old man had socks made especially to
hide money in, he was a trade-at-home crank,
played no favortes and believed in making
every dollar do full duty.
Now it happened that three came to his
bungalow who were destined to become famous
in history His stenographer showed them in
one at time and offered them cane bottomed
chair talent in those days was quite
block of money, and this old wise-acre told the
first man that he had ten talents on his hands
that wasn't working, and wanted to know if he
couldn't take full charge of it till he came home
from his joy ride to the movies wherever it
was he had it in his noodle to go. That sound
ed warm to the servant on the chair and he &C
cepted and went away full of pep.
When the girl heard the side door close she
let the second man in, and waved him to a chair
like he was the whole thing The old man got
him just as interested by mentioning five talents
as the other fellow was at the mention of ten,
and he took his charge and went away full of
ambish and as strong horse radish.
Now this girl with the abbreviated dress

SALT LAKE MAN KILLED

B. f. Ballantyne, former bank
cashier of Salt Lake, was shot and
killed Monday at his home in that
city.
The shot is said to have been fired
by his wife's cousin, M. A. Brown
ing of Ogden during a quarrel seek
ing to adjust the domestic difficult
ties of Mr.. and Mrs. Ballantyne.
1t is said that Ballantyne had
been drinking a good deal, and his
wife claimed that he had treated her
so badly that she wished to return

showed the third man in with all the fourishes,
and he acted timid and heartess, so the old man
sized him up and placed talent in his pos
session to do he liked with, it being under
stood of course, that he was to return it when
the word passed around that the old man
was visiting the Rotary Club his way home
to meet the state examiner.
When they saw his dust coming up the high
way at Kimball hill, they all grabbed an army
blanket apiece and stood in line to hear the
honks as he rode in triumphant. After he was
seated on cold pillow and the girl had bathed
his feet, the first of the trusted servants walked
in and spread twenty talents at the feet of the
master and paved the first ten away from the
second ten to make it plain that he had doubled
his money. The old man showed his approval
by inviting him to go right into the kitchen and
help himself to anything there was in the cup
board. The second man, he of the ambish and
the horseradish step, he treated likewise as soon
as he spread out his capital and his profits fifty
fifty, but the timid bird who brought back his
talent and reported that he got cold feet
and hid it in sock for fear he would lose it
he reproached him. touched an electric button
and dropped him into the cellar.
We can't tell you the rest of this story in
this letter we'll save if till next time. Trego
charges us for every inch of space we use to
print these letters in, we have to keep them
down to reasonable expense While you are
waiting for the next letter, be thinking it over
famous characters of history.

CARTERET FIRE
Row of Buildings on West
Side of Pershing Avenue
Threatened

CARTERET, June 25.-The row
of buildings on the west side of
Pershing avenue on the block run
ming north from Central venue was
threatened with destruction this
morning when a fire, which started
In the carpenter shop OF Steve
Magashegyi, burned the office and
workshop of this establishment to the
ground, wrecked the residence of
Benjamin Harrington and damaged
the home of DIR. Morris Goodman.
Good work by the Carteret firemen
checked the blaze before the hons
or Horace Armour caught fire, this
structure adjoining hat of Harring-
ton. The Y. NJ. c. A. building, also
a frame structure. adjoins the Ar
mour home and this no doubt would
have been consumed also had the
flames not been checked before they
reached Armour's.
The cause of the fire is not known
but The alarm sounded at 1:5s. Hor-
ace armour discovered the blaze
when he went 10 get his ear. He said
he saw smoke coming out of the
rear end of the carpenter shop and
upon looking IN the window found
the entire interior in flames. He a.
reused the neighbors and, as most
of the men were al work at that
hour, the women rushed to the scene
and tried 10 help.
The alarm had no sooner sounded
than the flames burst through the
roof of the carpenter shop. The heat
then became SO intense that it was
impossible to save n automobile
which was lying in the rear of Har-
rIngton'~ house. This truck was
burned up. Two other cars were
damaged considerably but they were
rolled away after several efforts.
Eia~rrington's home was in flames
almost the instant the fire shot
through the roof Of the carpenter
shop. There was a large of
lumber stored within the building
and this made an intense heat.
The dry shingles and roofs of the
structures in the immediate vicinity
of the fire acted as finder for the
flames and 1t was generally feared
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-06-25

tha.. the entire row of buildings
would be destroyed.
A stiff breeze from the south car
ried the flames a distance of about
twelve feet from the carpenter shop
to the attractive Harrington home.
Although the breeze kept most Of
the flames from the home of Dr..
Goodman, which adjoins the car
penter shop or the south. the intense
heat was sufficient tc ignite the
shingles on the second story of this
building.
The 1remen had difficulty in get
ting close to the flames owing to the
terrible heat from the roaring fur
mace into which the carpenter shop
had been transformed but by keep
ing themselves wet they managed to
work in shifts holding the nozzle
and moving up the hose.
While some of the fremen were
playing their streams on the fire.
others were preventing the spread
of the flames by wetting down near
by buildings. This failed to pre-
gent the igniting of the Harrington
home as the shingles we're so hot
that the water seemed to turn tc
stream Immediately upon striking
them and soon the flames were eat
ing their way through the walls OF
the building.
1t was not until about 10 o'clock
that the firemen were able to leave
the ruins, the fire having ragged
furiously for more than an hour be-
fore it was certain the other build
ings would not be destroyed.
Today's fire is the second one
within nine days at the Magashegyi
place of business. One week ago
last Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock
fire. the origin of which was not
known. destroyed part of the shop.
an automobile truck and damaged
the garage of DIR. Goodman.
No estimate Of the damage could
be secured this morning at the scene
of the fire, but it is thought it will
reach $4,000.
