Tree Planting.

The man who lives in the woods is
not easily excited about the need of
forest conservation. Very likely to
him the trees have always been more
or less in the way. Improving the
country to him has meant, in the
first place, cutting down the trees
and getting them out of the way. 1t
is more natural for him to think of
chopping down a tree than to think
of setting one out.
But the man on the prairie
naturally takes a different view of
things. He misses trees from the
first and as soon as the prairies be-
gan to be settled men began to set
out trees on them although the need
Of forest conservation was not then
realized In most cases the settler
on the paririe set out trees only to
make some shade about his premises
in the summer and to give him some
shelter from the wind storms and the
drifting snow. Only now and then
did he plan for supply of fuel or of
timber for use about the farm.
There have been enough cases of
larger planting, however, to give
some idea of what can be done in
this respect There are many places
which men of fifty years and less
can remember as bare prairie which
ere now so we'll dotted with groves
trat it is difficult to tell from a
casual glance at the landscape,
whether the territory was originally
prairie on which groves have been
set out or forest land in which
grove have been preserved. And,
where there have been paintings of
several acres in extent, very respect
able woodlands may now be found
where there were once no trees at
all.
In growing trees the prairie
settler has had much with which to
contend In many cases rainfall
has been slight and surface water
scarce 1t was not until the grow
ing roots had tapped the deeper
water veins that the trees could be
considered established. High winds
both summer and winter and snow
with nothing to lodge against except
the new plantations of trees were
also discouraging. In reforesting
eut-over land the task should be a
much easier one.
1t takes a long time to grow GER
tain trees to perfection, but other
sorts can be brought to marketable
size in a comparatively short time
When our natural forests are actual
ly depleted to the extent that the
need of reforestation is generally
felt, rs well as being generally talk
ed about and acknowledged in
theory. the task viii not be as diff
ficult as many think What has
been done in certain prairie sec
tions in the past fifty years may be
taken as demonstration on a small
scnle of what can be done in fifty
years on cut-over lands set aside for
reforestation vaen it is actually
undertaken on wide scale

SOUTH AMBOY LEGION
POST PLANS ACTIVITIES

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 11:-The
members of Luke A. Lovely post
who assembled at the post headquar-
ters Thursday night, for the purpose
of transacting some of the American
Legion business, found after they ar
rived there that its well nigh i'm
possible to do anything worth men,
tioning without Lee" Suits. Lee
is the post %atjutant and it is his duty
to bring along all the letters he re-
ceives for the post, and to present
bills for payment and to receive the
abuse from any and all the mem
bers who care to heap it upon his
head. Its some life, this adjutant
Jays, but at any rate, Lee was among
1e missing, which Is a very unusual
Thing. Just where he was and what
he was doing is still worrying Com
mandeS Chris Mulraine and Harry
Rufner and again also Otto Miller,
the post finance officer. The latter
person just finished his vacation
and is anxious for work, but there's
none for him this week, and oil on
account of Lee"
Sc unusual is Lees absence that
early yesterday a number of the boys
from the post were still worrying.
Lee has a car. Some of the boys
call it the Ark, but he doesn't mind.
Just laughs it off and proudly points
to one of the best moter meters in
the country today, which is located
on top of the radiator. The boys
of the post are of the opinion that
If Lee would just take the motor
meter off, and place a new car under
1t, he'd be able to attend the meet
ings instead of spending most of
his time on the roads worrying about
what's going to happen next.
At any rate, Phil Downs, who is
in charge Of the ticket distribution
for the moonlight excursion, which is
occupying so much time, was on
hand and gave a brief outline of
what has been one the past week.
1.-THE. excursion idea is going big"
said Downs, and with the proper
cooperation on the part of the
members themselves, We'll be all
right" He wants it known no tick
cts will be sold at the gangplank.
Persons going will purchase their
tickets at stands erected about the
pier and on several of the
leading to the pier on the date OF
sailing. This applies to Perth Am
boy as well as this city, concluded
Downs.
Several members were appointed
by Mr.. Downs to help in the ticket
proposition.
RAY" Downs, known to the Le-
as the Battling Plumber"
vas about to enter into an argu-
Dment when the fire alarm sounded
and everyone left for the scene of
the fire. Harry Rufner, a painter
by trade, had his truck with a num-
Der of ladders on the side, just out
side the building. About all that
could get on forced themselves with
out invitation and started for the
fire. At the corner of Broadway and
David street, the Battling Plumber
was doing traffic duty. Thinking
Runners truck was the hook and
ladder, he stopped all traffic to let
him go by. 1t was the speediest
meeting of the year.
The next meeting will be held on
Thursday night when returns for the
excursion tickets will be received by
Phil Downs.

COUNTY G. 0. P.
FACES PRIMARY FIGHT

TONS RIVER, Aug. 11.-Ocean
County Republicans have a pri-
mary fight on their hands which
promises to grow bitter before the
September election. Mrs. Lila NJ.
Thompson, of New Egypt, wife OF
Joseph M. Thompson, special in
vestigator of the State Department
of Institutions and Agencies, is OPP
posing former County Judge William
H. Jeffrey, of Toms River for the
Assembly.
Mrs. Thompson Is a member OF
the Republican State Committee.
Her colleague on the State Com
mittee, from the same county, At
torney Louis Gerber, of Tuckerton,
favors Judge Jeffrey.
Gerber is a law partner of former
Prosecutor A. Dayton Oliphant and
School Commissioner James e.
Mitchell, with offices in the Ameri-
can Mechanic building, this city.
Gerber resides at Gal Berkeley
avenue, this city, although his legal
and voting residence is Tuckerton.
Former State Senator Harry 7.
Hagaman, of Lakewood, a member
of the State Fish and Game Com
mission, is also out for Jeffrey.
Assemblyman Ezra Parker, of
Barnegat, who has served two
= erms as Ocean county's assembly
Representative, will not seek another
term. Mr.. Parker defeated Mrs.
Thompson two years ago.
The contest really represents a
fractional fight to determine whether
the Thompsons or the jeffrey
Hagaman, Gerber combination snail
have temporary ascendency in the
Ocean county Republican ranks.
Indicative of the bitterness of the
pre- primary contest is the story be-
ing circulated of former Judge
Jeffrey's domestic unhappiness. June
1 last, Jeffrey filed a petition for
divorce at the State House, on
grounds of desertion, against Mrs.
Jeffrey. In seven weeks time, or
July IT,, a report vas filed in the
same court, recommending a decree
for the former judge.
Chancellor Walker has not yet APP
proved the special masters report
and a preliminary decree has not
been granted thus FAR to the for
mer common pleas judge. Mrs
Jeffrey now makes her home In
this city. The ~Thompsons in no
way are connected with the scurril-
Gus campaign against Judge jeffrey

Most of the oyster-tonging areas are

The oyster men are making their
flnal preparations to begin work and

The State Conservation Commission
has its inspectors ready to begin work
tomorrow to see that the State laws

from the bay are observed
While the areas planted with shells
two years ago might produce oysters
of the legal size this year the beds
will probably remain closed for a,

Conservation Commission office.
This is the third year that shell
planting has been carried out by the

shells were planted this year but 20O,-
