AT the regular weekly meeting
of the Hunterdon Freeholders, No
vember 18th, the Boro officials of
Califon met with the Board in re-
CARDS to getting aid for improve
ments to street in their Boro lead
ing from the County Road at Low
err Valley to the Boro Hall or Rail-
road Station. After thorough dis
cussion of the proposition, the Board
Of Freeholders suggested that Cal
ifon make application to the State
for aid under the Herrick Act, this
the Boro officials decided to do.
Clerk directed to arrange "a meet
ing with the State Highway Com
mission for November 25th at which
time the 1926 road program will be
discussed.

Haynes attended the monthly meet
ing of the State Association of
Freeholders at Newark on the 10th
INST Proposed changes in the Mo-
or Vehicle Laws, the Gasoline Tax
Jaw and other changes in the dis
ribution of motor vehicle moneys
were discussed. 1t seems to be the
opinion Of the meeting that the only
fair way to distribute this money
would be on the basis of area and
miles of road rather than on wealth
and population.

CHRISTMAS SEALS ON SALE
AFTER THANK SEWING

The seventeenth annual Christ
mas Seal sale campaign by the New
Jersey Tuberculosis League, Inc,
and its thirty-five affiliated organ
izations throughout the state will be
officially begun the day following
Thanksgiving. A goal Of 25,000,000
seals has been set for New Jersey,
an increase of 100000 over last
years sales.
In the meantime seals are being
sent to industrial and commercial
concerns to be used on their state
ments going out about December l.
Seals are also being sent to fra
ternal organizations, to ministers
and to individual on the mailing
list of the organizations. Seals to
be sold by school pupils will be de-
livered to the schools about De-
cember a. The seal campaign will
continue until Christmas Day.
Since the creation of the seal in
1907, the number sold each year has
increased from 100000 to the 3d.
100000 sold in New Jersey last year.
In New Jersey the death rate
from tuberculosis has been brought
down from 1888 per 100000 Of
population in 1907 to 1901 last
year when there were 1926 cases
reported and 3.046 deaths. Fur
Their reduction Of the death rate is
sought and the increase in number
Of seals sold will aid materially in
this effort, the officers Of the Lea
que declare. Additional nurses
clinics and sanatoria beds will re-
suit from the securing Of addition
al funds.

BUCKS COUNTY MILK
STOCK INCREASES

Bucks county's dairy cow popula-
tion is increasing according to fl
cures announced by the Blue Val
ley Creamery Institute. The state
ment covers an area embracing APP
proximately one-eighth of the state
in this section, and is believed to
hold true for the county proper.
A IL per cent gain in the number
of dairy cows two years old and
over is noted for the district over
the preceding year, while the in
crease for the state as whole
was 81 per cent as compared with
1923. The entire United States shows
an increase amounting to 6 per
cent, government figures show.
The number of heifers to
years old as compared to the total
number of cows in this district
seem to be below the average, in
dicating the intention to bring less
young stock into milk in the near
future.
In citing these figures the Insti-
tute calls attention to the fact that
the United States needs 100000
more cows every year if produc-
ton is to keep step with the nor
NAL growth Of demand for dairy
products. There are 1,412,000 more
mouths to be fed in the United
States with every passing year and
with the increased consumption of
dairy products per capita, this add
ed number to the nations herd will
barely suffice to meet the increased
demand.

MAKE YOUR RED CROSS MEM
BERSHIP PAY THE BIG
GEST DIVIDEND TO
YOUR HOME TOWN

In our last issue it was stated
that fifty cents of each dollar mem
bership in the Red Cross remained
in the local treasury, while the other
fifty cents went into the national
treasury for worldwide work. This
was partly wrong. From each mem
bership, whether for one dollar OF
more, fifty cents goes to the Ma
tional Red Cross, twenty-five cents
to the County Red Cross. and TWEEN
ty-fve cents goes to local work.
The same amounts are sent to the
National and County treasures from
all memberships, whether for Sl.00
SIS 90, $500 or more. This means
that from a $500 membership $4.25
remains for home work; from a
$1,000 membership 1928 remains for
home work, and SO on.
Thus it is to the interest of local
families to combine their member
ships into a single membership of
the total of dollor each for each
member of the family. In this way
the work of the visiting nurse, home
hygiene, school and public health,
etc, is more adequately provided
for.
Mrs. Louis N. Young, Lambert
Vile chairman for the membership
campaign, reports gratifying work
being done by the district teams
The campaign will continue until
Thanksgiving Day, November 9th
and it is hoped that every family
will be enrolled. If any of the
solicitors have missed you, mail YOU
check fer as much as you can stand

TREE PRUNING DEMONSTRA-
TONS FOR HUNTERDON
FRUIT GROWERS
One At Bush Farm, Stockton

Four pruning demonstrations are
to be staged by the Hunterdon
County Board of Agriculture and
the State Agricultural College on
November "a and rs, at the follow
ing farms: H. X. Durham, u mile
north of Clinton on Clinton Wash
ington Highway on Monday $3.50
a. M, Richard Wais, near Leban-
ON, on Monday 1880 p. m., J. J.
Higgins, " miles west of Fleming
ton on the road to Sand Brook on
Tuesday, $3.50 a. M, and Percy
Bush, at the top of the hill above
Stockton on the Stockton Sergeants-
vile Road.
Each grower should bring his own
saw and shears as well as old
clothes as there will be an oppor-
tunity for him to receive practical
instruction in the pruning of apple
trees of all ages, not only the
young trees which are just coming
into bearing, but also the big old
trees which form the bulk of the
farm orchards in Hunterdon Coun-
ty.
A. Freeman Mason, Extension
Specialist in Fruit Growing at the
Agricultural College, New Bruins
wick, will be present to conduct
these demonstration meetings and
will answer any questions on prun-
ing or other problems in orchard
ing which the growers may care

NesC Waiting Room
For Bus Terminal

Patrons of the Lambertville-
Trenton busses will be pleased to
know that a comfortable waiting
room is to be fitted out at the
Trenton terminal on Willow street.
Mr.. j. T. wilkins, proprietor, an
nounces that work is to be COM
menced Immediately, plans are APP
proved to convert the ground floor
of the house two doors below the
garage into one large room.
The waiting room is to be COM
fortably fitted out, even to the ex-
tent of providing radio for the
entertainment of patrons. The pa
tronage of the busses has grown SC
rapidly that it has been hard to
keep pace in providing waiting ac-
comodations. Heretofore people have
had to stand on the street or sit
on the one uncomfortable bench in
the bus garage. The new waiting
room will be heated and equipped
with comfortable seats.
Mr.. Wilkins also says that the
floors of the buses are to be made
air-tight so as to prevent the smell
of the engine exhaust coming thru
This only occurs when the buses
stop, for while running the exhaust
is carried away to the rear. Some
complaint has been made of this,
but he says the trouble will be
eliminated. The exhaust pipes have
already been extended past the
rear of the busses.
Complaint has also been made
against rowdyism that takes place
sometimes on the late night trips
Mr.. wilkins says this is to be stop
ped even if some of the guilty par
ties have to be sent to Jail.

The Knocker

After God had finished max
ing the rattlesnahe, the toads
and the vampires, He had some
awful substance left, of which
He made the Knocker.
The KNOCKER is a two-leg-
ged animal with a cork-screw
soul, water-soaked brain and
combination backbone of jel-
ly and glue. Where other men
have hearts he carries a tu-
NOR of decayed principles.
When the knocker comes
down the street, honest men

weep in heaven, and the devil
shuts the gates of hell to keep
him out.

MAD DOG B TES
TWO PERSONS
Victims Being Treated BY Rabies
Vaccine


Lambertville On Wednesday
night of last week mongrel dog
belonging to Mrs. Mary Malone, of
Franklin street, went mad and bit
two people before it was killed
Paul Hortman, an employee of the
Strand Theatre, was bitten Wednes-
day night in the arm. On Thurs
day morning little Virginia Ma
thews, eight year-old child of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Mathews, was
badly bitten while on her way to
school.
When young HOFFMAN was bitten
Wednesday night it was not known
that the dog was mad. When Vir-
ginia Mathews was bitten Thursday
morning Jesse Mason saw it, and
Immediately decided that the dog
was mad. He quickly secured his
gun, and the dog tried to attack
him when he shot it. The head was
promptly sent to the State Board
of Health at Trenton, and they
telegraphed back that examination
proved it to have rabies.
The two victims were taken to
DIR. E. w. Closson, and he phonec
to the Philadelphia laboratories fol
rabies vaccine for the Pasteui
treatment. Prompt deliveries were
made, and the treatments of four
teen hypodermic injections at "a
hour periods were Immediately be-
gun. DR.. Closson believes the
prompt applications of the vaccine
will prevent infection. He reported
that during sixteen years of the
Pasteur treatment records had beer
kept of 2S,s9s cases, and only 1923
had died.
URGES VACCINE FOR DOGS
DR.. Closson said that vaccine
is now being prepared for dogs as
a prevention or rabies. This is Civ
en- by one injection at nominal
cost. He said that he had had his
own dog treated shortly after the
vaccine was put on the market
The injection was made by DR.
Henry w. Turner, veterinarian, OF
New Hope.
DR.. Closson said that mongrel
dogs are more susceptible to rabies
because of the mixture of breeds
Mrs. Malone's dog was evidently
mixture of Collie and Airdale
However, any dog likely to have
been bitten by this dog, whether
of good breed or not, should be
killed. And the Mayor has issued
an order that all unmuzzled dogs
found on the street should be kill
ed on sight.
Jesse Mason has already killed his
two dogs, one of them costing him
$25 recently, and the other he had
refused $50. for. He has also killed
perhaps dozen other dogs in the
neighborhood which came, in contact
with the mad dog. Deputy Sheriff
Norbert Rosso has also killed doz-
en- or more.
Dogs worth keeping should be Ii
censed and should be treated with
antirabies vaccine. Those that are
not worth this protection are the
very kind most likely to develop
rabies, and they should be killed inn
mediately.
