ciples:
"In order to encourage and pro-
mote a safe, sane and constructive
system OF farm practices, the Bank
or and Farmer Conference OF the
Fifth Federal Reserve District
would make the following recon-
mendations with reference to the
activities Of farmers and bankers
on which to concentrate EFFORTS
during the coming year:
Il. Encouragement OF loans by
bankers to bright and deserving
young men and young women who
wish to 90 to college to study agr!'
culture and home economics.
"2. Prom ote in a rational ana
conservative way the economic in.
crease in the productiveness OF the
soils OF the district so that larg'
er unit OF crop production may be
secured. Small unit yields OF ne
cessity are expensive while mod
crate to large yields OF crops are
generally the cheapest. Larger
Yields per acre coupled with a re-
duction in the acreage. when adj
visable, should and usually will be
more profitable, and when han
died properly will not lead to an
oyer.production.
"3. Encouragement Of q proper
system of diversified farming IN
which farmers will grow, as Tar
as practical, all the food and feed
crops necessary for feeding the
family and livestock OF the farm,
J and to keep the farms on the req
uisite kinds and amounts OF live
stock best to meet the economic
needs of farming.
Il. To formulate and put in mo
ton definite plans for carrying out
this program, it is urged that the
Agricultural College Of the District
put a county agent in every county
and that a banker.farmer confer
ence be called to meet early in the
fall at the agricultural college Of
each State"

Ed Wynn, "Thc Perfect Fool' who
will be the attraction at the Auoi'
torium Theatre, one performance
only, Friday night, January 18th IN
his musical show, is so much OF Il
fixture nova days that the fact that
he had to go through the usual PAGES
before arriving at the top of the
ladder in the musical comedy world
has generally been lost sight OF.
Wynn is a Philadelphia and first

After this experience he left the
stage for six months and Joined his
father in the millinery business in
Philadelphia, but he found the call Of
the stage deeply inculcated in his
mind and shortly he entered vaude-
Vile. Basing his vaudeville acts on
his college experiences, bit by bit
he began to acquire reputation IN
this field of entertainment. For
years he was "Thc College Boy" in
the two-a-d day. In the course of his
vaudeville experience, which extend
cd over II years, he made nine com

ton Of the "Follies" he scored a sub
stantial success.
His course since that time is fair

One HUNTERDON
ROAD IS GOOD

There is perfectly good road in
Hunterdon County, for more than
seventeen miles. 1t is State High
way Route No. 8, extending from
Whitehouse to Bloomsbury.
There is another piece of good
road, county maintained, extending
from High Bridge, through Califon
borough to Crestmoor.
The repairing of the Remington
Frenchtown road, on the western
end, has placed it in better condition,
but there is hitch-up over the
section from Hardscrabble to Point
Breeze. 1t seems that the specifi-
cations furnished the bidding con-
tractors did not agree in some minor
and unimportant details, SO that it
may be necessary to readvertise for
bids, delaying the work month or
more.
The resurfacing of the Fleming
ton hitehouse road is progressing
steadily, and will probably be com
pleted by August. At present it
is necessary to run over fearfully
rough stone, or detour over bad dirt
roads. The road from Pennington
Junction to Lebanon would be fairly
good had it not been scraped high
in the center, with punches of sods
lying in some spots. The unscraped
part isn't bad.
A better way to reach the upper
end of the county, at this time, is
to go out past the Pennington Fair
Grounds, taking the first right hand
road beyond, thence to the left at
the Lehigh Valley Railroad; take
the second right-hand road, thence
to the left soon after crossing the
railroad and the Raritan River;
past the Stanton cemetery and on
to the top of the hill; then follow
the most-trayele road to the
right; first TO left; left again at
first creek bridge, and continue to
Allerton, from which place the road
is stoned to Annandale. The scenery
is beautiful, and the road is the best
of the lot in that section-but slip
perry Immediately after a rain.
The Alexauken Creek road north
of Lambertville has been scraped,
filling in the ruts and mud holes to
a considerable extent. Some parts
of it are better, and some are worse
than before the scraping.

JUSTICE MORSE
FINES VIOLATORS

Justice of the Peace Samuel E..
Moorse has been busy lately hand
ing out sentences to law violators,
particularly those charged with
breaking the motor vehicle acts.
Efforts upon the part of one man
to secure clemency through political
aid fell flat with Justice Morse,
who is still remembered for his work
as mayor of the city of Lambertville
some years ago.
Albert Goodell, OF Loclstown, was
fined S25 and costs for operating
an Oakland car on a Ford license,
after the state police had made
run to Sergeantsville to capture
him. An early morning call from
that place reported n car in the
ditch with man in it apparently
unconscious, but when the Police and
DIR. L. C. Williams arrived on the
scene they pronounced it intoxica-
ton. 1t was also brought out that
Goodell was subject to fits, so JUS
tiee Morse revoked his license, as
we'll as filming him. Commissioner
Dill is said to have upheld the revo-
cation.
Lewis Wallis of Trenton, was also
arrested by State Trooper Wilson
for operating his car without lights.
He was captured after chase down
the River Road, following promise
to the police to replace them. At the
hearing he was fined $40 and costs,
and then presented letter from a
local politician asking the Lambert
vile authorities to Ego easy" with
him because he was a good fell
low" Justice Moorse says he would
have taught the man something IL
he had not already made his dec;-
sion.
Henry J. Wagner, another Tren-
tonian, mistook South Main street for
one of the streets of the Capital
City, and parked his car in its geo
graphical center, below the rub
Der mill, without lights, while he
is alleged to have INDUCED in a
"petting party" with a young wo-
man. He told the police that his en-
CINE was stalled, but found no diff
fieulty in starting it after they or
dered him to try.

X. X. X. HAVE BIG
MEETING AT CALIFON

Ku Klux Klansmen, whose num-

don, Warren, Morris and Mercer
counties, gathered at an open meet
ing at Califon Wednesday night.
While few guards were posted,
the public was allowed on the ball
grounds, where the meeting was held
and where fireworks were set off.
Only few Klansmen were masked.
Many of the streets of town and
a large field near the ball grounds
were filled with parked automobiles,
in which the visitors arrived.
The speaker was introduced as
Colonel A. and was said to be a
national worker for the Khan. He
outlined the orders principles. An
open air dance was held and re-
freshments served. Among the fire
works were several pieces represent
ing crosses. Members of the Hun
terdon County Khan were in charge
of the meeting.
