The Count Was Wrong.

The Neptune Lodge of the Ancient
Order of Oysters had its quarters in
an old brownstone front on a side
street It had good reputation with
the police and the neighbors, but one
Saturday night passing pedestrians
heard sounds of rumpus inside. and
then figure came flying out of the
door as If from catapult.
Samaritan-like, the crowd rushed to
help the figure to its feet. It was a
big man, spouting and indignant. He
had hard work to find words. He
waved his arms wildly as he gained a
standing position. Then he peeled off
his coat.
"They hain't any right to do that.
he cried. 7 paid my dues and I'm a
regular member Of the Oysters. By
gosh, I'm going back in there and
clean out that place. You gents stand
here and count EN- as they come out.
He rushed up the steps OF the club
house, forced the front door open with
out turning the knob and went inside
like a meteor. A wild disturbance en-
sued within.
Then another figure came flying
through the door.
That's one" said the onlookers.
Don't begin counting yet" said the
man who had just been thrown out.

After the family had moved North
and taken a home it was decided that
the household would not be complete

PREMIUMS OFFERED
IN FARM DISPLAYS
Cup Also in Competition at Tren-
ton Fair-Big Exhibit
Expected.

Favorable weather which has pre-
vailed for fruit, vegetables and other
farm crops is expected by Professor
Arthur ]. Farley of the State Agricul-
tural College to bring large horticul-
tuFal and agricultural exhibit to the
Trenton Fair during the week of Sep
TENDER 81 to October 2.
Professor Farley is the superintend-
emit of the Agricultural and Horticul-
tural Departments of the Trenton ex-
position, which will be housed this
year in what was formerly the Poul-
Try Building at the east end of the
grounds and directly opposite the
main entrance.
'sThis change in location will in
sure much better facilities for the at
tractive staging Of displays and is a
distinct improvement over the for
mer building" Professor Farley de-
clared. New tables and booths have
been constructed for the approaching
exposition" he said, "and other
changes have been completed to in
sure attractive surroundings FOR the
various exhibits.
"a favorable season for fruit, vege-
tables and other farm crops is always
q good indication OF large agracul
tural and horticultural exhibit at
Trenton" he continued. "and the
present season is outstanding because
Of the high class fruit and vegetables
throughout New Jersey and, in tact,
the entire country. This condition Is
sure to result In large and high class
displays at exhibits offering such lib
sral prizes as the Trenton Fair Assoc
cation
"A total Of 50, 100 in premiums is to
De offered this year at Trenton In the
Agricultural and Horticultural De
yartments for displays of fruit, vege-
ieAbleS, flowers and farm crops. In
addition, the Whitney $500 silver cup
won by Morris County.in 1924 and by
Bergen County last year Is still up
for competition and will bring out
some wonderful displays of farn
products.
Professor Farley pointed out that it
Is the uniform, well colored, sound
specimens that attract the eye Of the
expert Judge in making awards rather
than the largest fruit of given va
riety. IF you have something that
IS particularly choice give others a.
chance to see it." he suggests.

They had two officers bileted upon
them, and every one in the house was
determined to prove their appreciation
of the men who were fighting for Eng
land. Even the parlormaid anxious to
do her bit, valeted both major and
lieutenant with devoted skill, brushed
and repaired their clothes and refused
the idea of tips.
But one day when the major handed
her pair Of trousers that required "a

well. sir. You give me the trousers
and you say put button on-but you

TO October than in former years
eve have received entries from as
far west as Yakima, WASH" is the
announcement of Professor J. W.
Bartlett of the New Jersey Agricul
tural Experiment Station at New
Brunswick, the superintendent of the
Live Stock Department at the Tren-
ton exposition.
Entries have been 1led by Angus
herds this season as result of the
change in the classification" he con-
tinued. 'This is the first time In
three years that we have offered pre-
MUM money for Angus cattle, and II
would seem that the owners of this
stock appreciate our having reinstat-
ed the classification.
I'm the dairy cattle premium list we
have changed our advanced registry
COW class so that instead of COWS be-
ing shown In a separate class for adj
vanced registry money, We are adding
40 per cent to what they win in the
open class. We are also requiring in
the proven sire class, as new fea-
ture, four cows that are daugh-
tiers Of the same sire. AS we are Of
fering $40 in this one class alone, it
should be of great interest to breeders
as an award will demonstrate the
ability Of sire TO produce show ring
offspring. We have changed our sixth
premium this year 50 that in every
class SIS award will be given"
The superintendent FOR the dairy
and beef cattle section Will be w. NJ.

The growth in the entries for all
the departments and the varied ex-

ments to be made in the Fairs City

lish new standards of interest in the

The Court Paid.

In his earlier years. Lord Morris
(afterward Lord Chief Justice Of Ire
land) was recorder of Galway On one
occasion the last case on the list--a
dispute over few shillings was ar
gued before him at great length and
with much warmth. Lord Morris was
anxious to get back to Dublin, where
the courts were in full swing and ne
held important briefs. Within a few
minutes the Dublin train was timed to
start. The recorder looked at his
watch, but the wrangle did not seem
to be approaching an end
At last he said to the opposing so
Icitors: See here, gentleman must
catch train. Here is the sum in dis
pute." And throwing down the silver,

wonder what's the matter with him
that he can't hold down a Job for more
than two or three weeks. He seems
like an active. Industrious fellow and
he has good appearance"
''The trouble with Barbecue" said
Foxworthy, is that he has convic-
lions and isn't afraid to express them.
The young man who wants to make
his way in the world can't afford to
have convictions, or, if he has few,
he should keep them on ice for Sun
days and holidays. If he is going to
trot them around during business
hours he will get into trouble.

spend his good money. he has the right
to expect that all the statesmen will

statesmen were hanging around with

"But presently Jim Barbecue lifted
up his voice and said he didn't agree

had never seen any vessel more ma

Then he got job in the corner

physician and the stores most valued
patron, began explaining to few
friends some up-to-date ideas in medi-

when man like Doc Banner talks
about such thinks he is worth listen

the doctor was about 1000 years be-
