WOODBRIDGE. Oct. give
permits to operate buses between
Fords and Railway were granted by
the Woodbridge Township Com
mittee at their weekly meeting last
night to Brown and Whalen. in COM
pliance with a petition made by these
operators a week ago. Mr.. Whalen
appeared before the committee last
Monday night to gain the permits
for his company but no action was
taken because of the fact that A.
Serbo &c Son held franchises on that
route. The latter company however
has relinquished its rights to the
permits and the awarding of the line
to the Brown & Whalen company fol-
lowed.
The Fords-Rahway line has not
been a lucrative enterprise since its
organization early this summer. The
MiddleseX Bus Corporation was first
to obtain the franchise, placed first
class buses on the route but soon
failed because of the large daily
losses. The Serbo company believed
that they could operate the line on a
paying basis but their withdrawal in

MAGISTRATE
AT TOTTENV|LLE
Chief Magistrate McAdoo
Here Yesterday to Establish
Court at Station House

TOTTENVILLE, Oct. "a magis-
trate's court will be established in
Tottenville within a short time, &C.
cording to the announcement being
made following a visit of Chief Mag
istrate William McAdoo here yes
terday. Chief Magistrate McAdoo
with Chief Clerk Finn were at the
new police station to look yer the
building for the purpose of estab-
fishing a magistrates court at that
place for one day a week to hear
summons cases and anything that
may come before a magistrate in po-
lice court. The chief magistrate was
very much impressed with the situa-
ton and said hat the patrolmen's
room at the station house would be
used should such a court be estab-
lished on this end of the island.
An effort has been made to estab-
fish a magistrates court on this end
of the island for some. Assembly
man William L. Vaughan, of Tot
tenville, had a bill introduced in the
assembly and senate at Albany DUR
ing the last term for the estblish-
ment of a magistrates court in the
fifth ward of the borough of Rich
mond. The bill passed both houses
n WIlSH II Cdile " MdJOA
for his approval he vetoed the mea-
sure on the ground that it was not
necessary for a law to establish a
magistrates court, because the CHER
magistrates had power to do so II
application was made. Chief Magis-
trate McAdoo has had the matter
under consideration for some time
and his visit here yesterday is the
outcome of the promise of Mayor
Hylan that he would help the people
of this end of the island in the mat
ter after he had vetoed the magis-
trates bill.
There are at present two magls-
trates courts on the island. one at
Stapleton. presided over by Magis-
trate William Featherston and the
other at New Brighton presided over
by Magistrate William T. Croak. 1t
is the plan of the chief magistrate
to have one of these judges come to
Tottenville on one day a week or
possibly more should the case re-
ouire to hold court here. This VIII
be a great saving to the people OF
this end of the island, who have to
nav car fare to the other side of the
island and to lose a day to attend
a case in court.

HI FARM BUREAU

One of the important gatherings in Bozeman
during the past week was the meeting of the
State Farm Bureau. There was a very large at
tendance by members of this organization that is
doing so much to bring about real cooperation
among farmers. The sessions held at the Mon
tana State college brought out many valuable
points of information, which will aid materially
in promoting better conditions of marketing
farm products, thereby giving the farmer a better
return for his labor as well as upon the products
of his farm.
The officers of the Farm Bureau are prac-
teal men, who have by their own efforts, demon
Strated the fact that cooperation is the founda-
ton of better farm methods. A. H. Stafford,
president of the state association, w. L. Stock
ton, vice-president, and many others who
have made a success of farming, gave the
members some real sound advice upon farm
ing methods. Uncle San" Hampton, who is one
of the most enthusiastic supporters of the Farm
Bureau and its work also told of practice methods
that can be used to advantage by the farmers of
the state.
The Montana Farm Bureau now numbers
many thousand farmers among it smembers. This
organization is rapidly growing, and will, within
a very short time, become of such proportions
that it will handle its products and market them
through its own agencies. The organization can
develop its operations in this state as it has done
in Illinois, where it has demonstrated its value
in the increased return to the farmer for his pro-
ducts. The article in the issue of last week of the
Courier, written by Uncle Sam Hampton reveals
a wonderfully practical cooperative method used
by the Farm Bureau that has resulted in better
profits and happier and more contented farmers
The community spirit has been developed to a
perfect degree. When this is done there is sure
to be good results, whether it be in Illinois or in
Montana.
Marketing conditions for farm products, are
not what they should be in Montana. Distance
from market has bearing upon the matter, but
this disadvantage can be overcome to a great
extent through the cooperation of the farmers
The Farm Bureau is the vehicle by which the
farmer can carry through a program for .improv
ing marketing conditions. Every farmer of thu
state should become a member of the organization
and by his cooperation help to bring about thu
desired results.
