AppIeby Majority May
Exceed 10000 Votes
Beats Geran in 3 Counties by
Overwhelming Majority
J, in Race for Congress

A conservative estimate of the
majority given to L. Frank Appleby,
the. Republican candidate for con-
gress in the third congressional dis
trict, Is between $4,000 and 10000,
Mr.. Appleby at his home in Asbury
Park today. himself declared that by
the time all the returns have been
received he will have run at least
10000 votes ahead of his opponent,
Elmer II. Geran. of Matawan.
q 1t Is estimated at this time that
Mr.. Appleby has carried Middlesex
county by 10000 majority. With
seven polls from this sity still miss
ing at IL o'clock today. Mr.. Appleby
has majority over Mr.. Geran of
9.455. With the seven missing polls,
Appleby received in Middlesex 81,
42S votes to Geran's 1873. With
all the polls reported in New Bruns-
wick, Appleby in that city polled A.
S43 votes and Geran 3.847. Perth
Amboy with seven polls missing gave
Appleby 4,183, and Geran 1858.
Latest reports from Monmouth
county give the Following totals in
the race for congressman: Appleby
23,68S, and Geran 1867. Mr.. Apple
by in statement to the press de-
clared that he Is of the opinion his
majority in Monmouth county will
be at least 5000 and in Ocean at
least 1000.
When it was definitely known that
Appleby had been elected he issued
a statement expressing his sincere
thanks for the support of the people
in the third congressional district
and declared that the large majority
given throughout the district in the
election yesterday more than justi-
fies the repudiatiop he received at
the polls two years ago when he
was defeated by Mr.. Geran. He de-
clared he would try to carry out the
pledges he has made to the people
Of the third congressional district.
1t was generally believed before
election that Mr.. Geran had no
chance of carrying Ocean county and
only slim chance of running up a
majority of even few votes in Mon
mouth. However. it was the general
opinion of the politicians that he
would be able to hold his own in
Monmouth and that Middlesex would
roll up a majority great enough to
again bring about his election. The
fact that Middlesex has gone so over
whelmingly for Appleby is a cause
OF much surprise to political leaders.

FALLS Sc FEET
FROM BARN; IS
FAR FROM DEAD

John Peterson, IL, a Brooklyn, ~
Y, boy who has been working on the
Geo. Robbins farm in So. Lancaster
for several months past, miraculously
escaped death in an unusual exper-
fence last Thursday afternoon. About
5 o'clock young Peterson essayed to
ride forkful of hay from the
ground to the barn loft, a distance of
Sc feet. When the youth reached the
loft door he endeavored to swing
in but missed his footing and dropped
sheer to the ground, landing on hard
earth and stones. Peterson lit on his
right side after turning a double
somersault in the air. He suffered a
broken right arm and a sprained left
wrist but no other apparent injuries
OF serious nature. How he ESCAPED
serious injury if not death is nothing
short of miracle unless as the eve
witness and driver, John Behncke,
IL, says: "The Lord was with him
when he fell" Young Peterson and
a chum named Schleicher, walked to
Lancaster from Brooklyn, N. Y, last
spring, not riding foot on the rails.
They made the trip all right but were
couple of very hungry boys when
they reached bountiful Grant county
where the good eats are always plen-
tiful

CROP EXPERT
OPTIMISTIC
IN FORECAST

The Herald's crop expert says that
in general excellent prospects for a
hay crop are causing a more optimis-
tic feeling among farmers. Hay is be-
ing cut and is reported as fine crop.
Those who have alfalfa are more than
pleased with the crop, some of it be-
ing four feet long and will go better
than two tons per acre from the first
cutting. Clear and warmer weather
are wanted to cure the hay crop. Corn
is backward, and is of good color,
but only fair stand. Pastures, gar
dens and all cultivated crops are in
a promising condition. Farmers are
exceptionally busy with corn cult
waiting and haying on their hands at
the same time. The fine weather of last
week enabled most of the farmers to
cultivate their corn, and get on top
of the weeds which during the wet
weather of June had threatened to
engu1f it.

school meeting voted bonus OF $500
to Miss Mary Warren for her work in
the primary department last year.
Miss Warren assumed charge of So

the difficult work of teaching such
large class in capable manner. She
is the oldest teacher in the Lancaster
schools in point of service. The vote
on the bonus was unanimous. MISS
Warren was overwhelmed when she
heard of the award. She said she ap-
preciated the good will behind the vote
far more than the money although
that is duly appreciated also.

HARDY VICTOR
IN BANK FORE
CLOSURE CASE

| Judge Smalley in a decision of last
week found for VIM. Hardy, the Hins-
dale (Ill.) banker, in the suit brought
to perfect a mortgage against the
Peoples State bank building and to al
low foreclosure. The claim of the Tay-
lor-Palmer Co. of Milwaukee, furni-
shers of the building, was reduced to
the common claims class and the
$4,217 lien they had taken declared in
valid.
The decision recites that on May
! 20, 1923, Hardy loaned the bank
| $4,000, taking a note for 60 days and
ity. Hardy in his complaint recited
that the building was enormously de-
scribed in the mortgage and asked
that this be corrected.
On June 8, 1928, D. T. Parker, State
Banking Commissioner, took charge of
| the bank. Mr.. Parkers contention in
reply to Hardy's suit, was that the
| loan had not been made by authority
of the board of directors or spread up
on the minutes of the board, as re-
quired by law.
Judge Smalley condemned Pugh
and Clark for their manner of max
ing the loan but said it could not be
| considered void as contract. He
said the duty devolved upon the
board of directors and not upon those
who loan in good faith to the bank
| The court held further that the con-
| tract was one which a bank could
lawfully make without the formalities
required. That it was a contract eX-
ecuted in good faith and sit would be
unjust to permit the bank to repudi-
ate it."
Judgment was entered to reform
mortgage by correcting description
and to allow 5000 attorneys fees as
described in mortgage.
! The Taylor-Palmer lien was denied
| because it was taken upon both lien
able and non-lienable articles, it be-
ing impossible to separate the two

Use All the Auto
Money on the Roads.

A method of road financing now be-
ing considered in another state is to
have a graduated auto license tax de-
pending upon the value of the car; to
have a gasoline sales tax; to abolish
all personal property taxes on cars;
to use every dollar derived from these
sources on road construction and
maintenance.
The arguments for this plan are:
Automobile owners should pay taxes
in accordance with their investment
in transportation.
A gasoline sales tax is the fairest
tax to be devised.
Personal property taxes should not
be levied on cars the money being
spent for other than road purposes.
The motor vehicle is by all odds
the cause of a demand for good roads.
The man who does not use the high
ways should not be made to pay for
them.
Not one cent of the money derived
from taxes on transportation should
be used for things other than trans
portation.
We think this sums up the road tax
situation 1t provides a means of road
improvement without an unjust bur
den on land, etc. 1t is worth working
for.

Ge1many's New
and Stable Currency,

Germany's new currency, the rent
enmark, remains fiat after nearly a
year and bids fair to continue it's in
tegrity. If so Germany is slowly on
the way toward peace and prosperity.
The new money was established
Nov. Is, 1928, when the government
was given the sum of 2,400 millions
of rentenmarks. Pledges from agri-
culture, trade and industry assured
the soundness of the currency The
pledges consisted of 4 percent gold
mortgages on real estate and similar
mortgages on promissory notes on in
dustry and trade. The gold standard
is used throughout. percent interest
is paid on all loans.
The money has so far been used to
repay the governments floating in
debtedness, to meet budget deficits I'M
til the government is able to place
taxation upon a gold basis and to aid
the commercial and industrial inter
ests of the country.
The practical purpose was to place
the entire tangible resources of the
country behind a stable currency.
The improvements affected to date
are:
l. Furnishing the community with
a stable medium of exchange
2. Establishing a money that could
be laid away and saved
8. Permitting the moving of the
crops.
4. Retiring the paper mark from
circulation.
5. Meeting the deficit in the nation
al budget until it could be balanced
by income from taxation.
Germany's progress is slow but it
is upwards and certain.

Flashes
'Life is Short-TeIl the Truth"
The SO-CaIIed
"NOrdic" Superiority.


Harking back to "Das Kultur" of
pre-war Germanic Imperialism we
find a similarity in the present Nor
die supremacy craze.
The present cult has numerous adj
vocates in this country and in Eng
land although it's origin seems to have
been in Germany. The recent exclu-
sion act of the United States is a
phase of it and the tenets of the Khan
are another phase.
This gospel of Nordic superiority is
based upon an assumption of a fair
haired and skinned, blue-eyed and
large-muscled race inhabiting north
ern Europe centuries ago. 1t pre-
sumes further that the descendants of
these people (who undoubtedly did
exist have done the work of world
givers, the empire builders, the fight
ers and doors of the world of yester-
day and today.
Agreeing that a Nordic race existed
once we disagree that it exists today
except among the isolated Scandiva-
VANS The melting pot of centuries
has taken the Nordic, the Alpine and
the Latin and whirled them together
to produce new and more vital types.
Thus in America we have combina-
ton of the three types in nearly ev-
cry person. And we maintain, that
this fusion of blood produces a better
balanced type than any of the three
progenitors in purity.
"The Nordic" craze is a delusion
just as England's invention of the
"Anglo-Saxon" about the time en-
pire building began was a fiction and
delusion. We like to dream of it as
the Morse dreamed of the age of gil
ants and the Greeks of the age of
gods. But in a practical way the forces
of nature keep peoples mingling and
mating without particular regard to
types.
