DANISH STATE
 IS EXPENSIVE
Situation Revealed in Speech Whole Departments
 Must Be Strapped.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Feb s. An insight into Danish finances is to be found in recent speech in the Rigsdag by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He says the situa- ton is by no means enviable, and he calls for immediate reductions in state expenditures as preferable to increased taxation.
 Increase Noted.
 The expenditures of Denmark have risen enormously since 1913, accord ing to a Danish economist. Ten years ago the annual total income of Danish citizens amounted to 775,- 100000 crowns, of which S2,000, 900, or little more than 10 per cent, were paid to the state in taxes. Denmark now confronts a budget of 550,000,00O crowns, or nearly seven times as much as before the war. Between 1914 and 1921 Denmark had national income of 12,750,- 100000 crowns, of which 2,437.O0O.- 900, or about 20 per cent, were paid into the national treasury. Hence IL IS seen what an expensive luxury the state has become
 Back to Normalcy
 Denmark must strive hard to get back to normalcy in her expendi- ture, leading Danish business man has said to the correspondent of The Associated Press It is no good nihbling at the salary of the in- dividual official. That merely makes for inefficient public servants and will only reduce expenditures a few million. No. it is necessary to scrap whole departments, or at least r& duce the number of personnel by one third or one half of the present number. Government departments nave, in so-called good times, ten dency to mushroom growth, and ev- cry newly-appointed officaI creates work for another one. The result has been far too many officials and more expensive street car and rail- road fares. gas, electricity. etc.. without corresponding increase in quality of commodity, or service"
 Definite Policy.
 another prominent leader in the commercial world was more definite In his policy. He deplored. for in- stance, that the Danish Foreign onice, at time when other Gov ernments were cutting down ex- pensos, had increased costs by ap- pointing new ministers and consuls everywhere. In his opinion it was nigh time for minor states like Den. mark to abolish altogether the costly practice of keeping ministers abroad. he suggested merging the present consui-general and minister into one person, a kind of high commissioner. who should chiefly look after the business end of the nations inter- ests' ieavng political problems to the solution of special delegations.

MARK THE CROSSROADS

What has become of the movement that was started last year
to have uniform markings at all crossroads throughout the state?
The State Highway Commission took the matter up with the Board
roads marked to conform with the markings on the state high
ways. The state highways are being very carefully marked, but
little progress has been made in the counties.
There is nothing that would meet with more popular approval
than the marking of every road in the state. New Jersey is the
playground of the nation. Thousands of tourists visit this state
every year. They bring millions of dollars into the state. Any
thing that will encourage tourists to come here, adding to their
convenience and making their visit more pleasant, ought to be
done. incidentally, the natives also appreciate well marked roads,
for they, too, like touring and they find touring in their own state
just as attractive as going far from home. But it is disconcerting
to be riding along unfamiliar roads and come to a fork without any
Indication whatever as to which way to turn.
Well marked roads would also have another advantage. II
autoists were assured that they would not get lost or be carried
many miles out of their way by taking the wrong road, they would
be glad to take the so-called "back'' roads in order to avoid the
congestion on the main highways. There are several different
routes that could be used to reach South Amboy coming up from
the shore, but only a comparatively few are familiar with any route
excepting the main state highway, If all of these side roads were
properly marked with a sign at every cross-road so that the tour
it could easily find his way, he would gladly turn off from the
main highway to avoid the congestion and take the 'back' roads
home.
Travel on the highways Of the state has become too general
these days to ignore this important matter of marking all cross
roads. 1t is something that every county ought to take up as one
os the essential highway improvements

NO MORE ISOLATION FOR AMERICA

It is about agreed that the people of the United States have
made at least one advance toward accepting their responsibility
IN world affairs. We no longer hear any reference to America S
bated and the League of Nations was the paramount" issue,
there was a strong feeling against the Unt-l States dabbling in
foreign affairs at all. A Glands off" policy was favored and, for a
time, it looked as if that policy would prevail.
But the more the United States attempted to keep out of Eu.
ropean affairs the more apparent it became that European affairs
vitality concerned America, and thatwe could not help being inter-
csted. Strangely enough this realization became apparent first
in the West where the strongest feeling against American outside
participation had existed. In fact, sentiment has SO changed in
that section of the country that now we find the leaders of the So
called farm bloc heading the movement for American help in clean
ing up the chaotic situation in Europe.
For instance, Senator Cspper, of Kansas, declares that the
reason the farmers are not sharing in the present prosperity of the
nation is because the European market is still out of balance. owe
produce 8%00,00OOO0 bushels of wheat a year, he says, "our own
consumption is 6O0yO0O,O00 bushels. We have got to find a market
for the surplus of 200 100000. While Europeans could use this,
they cannot pay for it. The currency situation is upset. We have
got to stabilize that situation, restore confidence and trade rela-
tious. 1t is a big job. But the farmers want it done They feel
this thing more ksenly than any other today"
Yes, progress is being made. With President Harding insist
ing that the United States become a member of the International
Court Of Justice, and with such conservative Republicans as Sena-
tor Pepper, of Pennsylvania advocating the United States joining
the League of Nations after certain notifications are made, who
can doubt the final outcomei America will yet play a real man s
part in world affairs.

THE NEW COUNTY ENGINEER

The sudden change in county engineers comes somewhat as a
surprise. There had been no intimation that Frederick G. Schneider
was contemplating getting Out, neither was there any idea that
Senator Larson was being thought of for the position. The fact
that the senator is thoroughly familiar with the county work will
liable him to take up his new duties and "carry ou' without
iferruptng any of the projects now under way. Senator Larson's
apointme9t ought to turn out advantageousy to the county be-
cusAof his closeness to the State Highway Commission. In work

Most every one who realizes how effective Kellogg7s Bran is for the permanent relief of constipation has their own particular way of serving this wonderful cereal. Most families cat it as a cereal with milk or cream, Others sprinkle it on their favorite hot or cold cereal. Every one enjoys its nut-like flavor!
 If you are cooking a hot cereal try this method :-Measure off two table spoonfuls for each member of the family. Mix it with the cereal and cook as you always cook the cereal.
 Kellogg s Bran is scientifically pre- pared and ready to eat, but its regu- latory powers are in no way impaired if you cook it with other cereals. .
 Kellogg $ Bran has won the friendly recommendation of physicians because it does give prompt and permanent
