AS a result OF the conference
hetween farmers and cranberry
men of South Jersey on one hand
and the State Fish and Game
Commission on the other, 1t Is
nossible that the growers de-
mands for an open season for doe
deer many be put through the
next legislative session with the
consent and cooperation OF the
game commission. The commls-
sion however, is not willing that
does should be shot during the
omen season for buck deer. They
explain that the greatest safe-
guard for human life in the deer
woods now in the deerhunting
season is that the hunter must
look TO see the horns of the deer
plainly before he can shoot-and
that before this was insisted upoh'
any animal or anybody, moving
through the woods, was likely 10
be shot by some oVer-anNlous
hunter intent on bagging a deer.
To allow does to be shot in the
regular deer season, they say
would do away with this safe

WORKING ON HOME GROUNDS

A good many families here in
Salem spend quite little money
in hiring men to take care of their
gardens and lawns. It is an ex-
cellent way to use money, and so
far as one can afford it, it pays
many times over. 1t is also fine
thing for men and women to form
the habit of working on their
home grounds with their own
hands. When they do that, they
are not satisfied with plain and
constantly adding some new touch
of beauty. A home will never
look like a kind of machine pro-
duct then, but it will look as if
some craftsman had done it for
love.-Salem, Mass, News.

HON ES.

| We are now becoming more ana
more a nation of homes OF the
people, by the people. for the l'eo-
pie is a democracy "a Lincoln
Like democracy.
The slogan that men fought to
save democracy sounds good, but
back of all this high-sounding SEN
tenee were the words and worth
of Lincoln's thought-the home.
No man will fight for a board
ing house, but millions crossed
cover there" to protect their
homes lover here"
What this country wants is
more home owners-people who
can call a house home.
Where is the man, the great
man in this country, that will rise
out of the mob of material get
ters-where is the man who will
come forward and build homes for
the provident and see that these
homes can be paid for on the par
tial payment plan, without inter-
est, without taxes, without hind
rance of any kind if necessary?
Where is the practical philan-
thropist? Come along, you big
men, and get the idea of helping
to build more homes!
The very blood of this nation
courses through the heart of the
home. Bolshevism is a virus that
runs through the veins of a rent
ed house.
Law, order, religion, civic pride,
patriotism, progress-all these are
the outgrowth of houses that are
owned by humans, who live In
them.
Disorder, unrest, turmoil, riots,
strikes, rows, prostitutes-all are
hatched in the hall bedroom.
There are lot of fine folks who
do not own their own homes, and
this is the pity-this is the serious
situation that confronts us.
The steady, straightforward,
saving and serving class are usu-
ally home owners. Let us help
those who want to own their own
homes to own them.
Some day to own a home Will
he the hallmark of reliability. 1t
is the duty and should be the priv
ilege of every patriotic citizen,
banker and business man to en-
courage humans to own their own
homes-to do more than to en-
courage-to help.
Not all individuals that are in
terested in industry own their
own homes, but nearly all humans
that own their own homes hold
permanent positions. Their self
interest is on the job.

WATER PROBLEMS.

II is becoming more and more
generally recognized in all parts
of the State that some decisive
and effective action must be tax
en-, and very soon, for the conser-
walton of the water supplies II the
fast-growing municipalities in the
metropolitan areas are to be spar
ed the agonies of scant water.
Frequently, in long periods OF dry
weather, some of those municipal
tiles have already felt the short
age keenly and in more than one
instance the alarm became posi-
lively acute.
Nature has been lavish with
New Jersey in this respect, having
dotted the upper part of the State
and some sections of the lower
part, with numerous lakes and
ponds of beauty and usefulness,
but the annual fall of water has
not been sufficient to meet the de-
mands of the millions of the hui
man family who have formed
large cities and continue to spread
in numbers to the crowding point
with ever-increasing demand for
water.
The water problem includes a
bond issue. The proposed bond
issue is to provide the necessary
funds for the State to acquire the
water sheds in various sections
and hold them for future supplies.
1t is expected that ultimately the
investment would be amortized by
the municipalities which will look
to these conserved areas or the
supplies of potable water and that,
therefore, the loan would be re-
paid.
The large loans made for the
bridge and tunnel are to be met
by the collection of tolls and esti-
mates vary as to the period in
which such collections may be
necessary. but the most remote Is
90 years, while some calculations,
as in the case of the Hudson tun-
mel. have been II years. The to-
tai of these loans has been $780,
100000 in the two authorizations
and in each instance the people
sanctioned them by majorities
which seemed unanimous.
The $16,000.000 bond issue for
payment of bonuses to world war
service men is being amortized by
an annual levy in the tax rate and
is expected to be retired in 30
years, having already gone FIVE
years. There has been no definite
information as to the amount
necessary to be raised for the &C
Quisition of the water areas, but
$10,000,000 has been suggested as
the limit and it would be necessa-
ry, no doubt, to add the interest
charge and sinking fund to the
tax levy. How the voters would
respond to the appeal for another
loan, even IN such a worthy and
vital project, is not possible to
