MR. EDGE'S BEER BILL

By announcing his intention to introduce a bill for three per cent, beer at the next session of Congress. Senator Edge leaves no doubt that he intends to commit his political fortunes unreservedly to the wet side of the argument. As a test of wet sentiment of the next Senate hi* bill may not get very far. but it ought to fix his status definitely before the voters of New Jersey, comments the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. As his colleague next session Mr. Edge will have not the dry Frelinghuysen. but the most celebrated political wet in the country, former Governor Edwards. Mr. Edge means to steal some of his political thunder. His stand is a tribute to his belief in the existence of a majority wet sentiment in New Jersey and of the doubtful value to a candidate of Anti-Saloon League endorsement. But before election comes the primary, and. although Senator Edge seems convinced his wetness will be an asset at the election, it is not so sure it will be at the primary. He is sure to have dry opposition at the primary and there is plausibility in the reports that his opponent will be Mr. Frelinghuysen. Then the State, which has had two wet and dry rtferendums among the general electorate in the Edward's candidacies, will witness a test cf dry strength, not in the State, but where it is likely to be much stronger, in the Republican party.

THE HOU^E of Assembly furnishes some very good vaudeville occasionally. Last week a bill to regulate the manufacture of fireworks was passed. When it came up the members had one of the best afternoons of the session in attempting to impersonate the noise of firecrackers, there being a chorus of booms and ahs and the dropping of desk lids It sounded like a boiler factory in operation. It is fortunate that the people are to be spared any dog and cat bills this year. The legislators are good imi-

tators of animals, also.

Possibly it hasn't occured to yen that the time is almost here to plant gardens and. more important still, turn the clocks back an hour. There will possibly be the same old opposition to the daylight-saving plan aru' it is well to thresh it out in advance. There is no change in public sentiment the towns want it and the farmers don’t. The big cities will again adopt the plan and most of the smaller towns will follow suit. The system goes

into effect April 28th.

By J. A. Stackhouse, Agent Farmers at Bellenlain Purchase Snuulies Through Cooperative Associ-

ation

At a meeting of the Belleplaln Cooperative Association. February 23, the Belleplaln fannsrs purchased fertilizers. both raw materials and mixed goods, sulfur and arsenate of lead for strawberry weevil, ifcne for alfalfa and sweet clover and spray materials for grapes. T. J. Du roll. Secretary, was Instructed to order the above a »x. and have them sent to the Coopera, ve storehouse as soon as possible i meet the spring demands. John Clfoni was appointed a committee of one to take charge of handling and distributing the materials at the storehouse. Tret ring Seed Potatoes Between now and the end of March the Farm Demonstrator's office will be besieged with probably 160 calls about treatlnr seed potatoes. If they bold to last year's example. Infoiv maMon is given below so don't fall to keep this paper ready at band. First, there are two materials that may be used for treating seed potatoes: Formaldehyie and Oorrosi-e Sublimate (Bichloride of Mercury). Formaldehyde Is less poisonous, easier and safer to handle but kills only the scab. It will not affect rhlsoctonia. The usual question then Is. "well, why not use It If you have no rhlzoctonla?” In a majority of cases seed potatoes may have a little rhlcoctonla and will not be noticed In casually looking over the seed. It is therefore best to use Corrosive Sublimate and kill both the ecab Infection and the rhlzoctonla Infection. In making up the solution use 4 inces of Corrosive Sublimate to 30 gallons of water. It Is best to dissolve this In hot water first to hasten the diseolotion. In cold water It msy take some time. After soaking one-half hour move the potatoes and put In another batch. A 60-gallon barrel will bold 30 gallons of water and about 3)6 bu»hel of potatoes. When two batches have been soaked add to each barrel one-quarter ounce cf Corrosive Sublimate and fill up with water to the 30 gallon mark. Repeat after each two batches. In making this up It Is best to use a stock solution so that one quart will contain one-quarter ounce of Corrosive Sublimate. Care should be taken to use metal containers In handling this solution as It will eat holes through metal very rapidly. Thirdly. It Is Important to treat early If you can get them thoroughly dried out for when treated Just before planting the seed may be sprouted and the soaking will retard germination. However. It dose not hurt If the sprouts are burned a little. The only harm is slightly retarded

starting.

The seed should be thoroughly dried and put back In clean sacks or baskets or those that have been treated, after soaking. Scarritv of Good Poultry Litter Makes Poultrvmea Take Notice Laying hens now-a-days have rather expensive carpet to walk on and scratch to pieces. It costa over

Wanted Her to Elope

WILDWOOD— Fred Elllnger. a former West Jersey Electric Company lineman, who murdered Mrs. Patrick McKeown. 36. of 148 E. ScheUInger avenue, was captured by a posse of firemen In a bungalow Friday afternoon several hours after the crime was committed. Elllnger was lodged In the City Hall until committed by Magistrate Byrne to the County JalL A coroner's Jury composed of Geo. N. Smith. Edwin M. Johnson, Albert D. Austin. Chas. Norton. Ell Barnett and Joseph Brown found Elllnger guilty of the crime after he confessed that he secured two revolvers. came to the home of Mrs. McKeown with the intention of killing her, and which he admitted he

did.

Mrs. McKeown. the mother of six children, most of which are of tender age. was. according to an eye witness. Ada Fredette. a maid In her home, feeding her eleven-month old baby when Elllnger entered the kitchen. fired two shots Into her brain and escaped out the back door. The baby fell from her lap to the floor but waa fortunately uninjured. When the news was circulated of the murder it caused intense feeling against Elllnger who had previoualy tried to force his attentions on Mrs. McKeown. He wanted her to elope but she spurned his attentions. Many threats of lynching were heard while posses were formed to search the Island. He was finally located In a bungalow on 26th street but was overpowered before be could use the weapons with which he shot Mrs. McKeown. A botUeof bootleg liquor, moat of which was consumed, was found In hta posses-

sion.

Elllnger probably will be Indicted by the Grand Jury next Tuesday and will be tried during April. Hundreds of people paid their last respects to Mrs. McKeown on Monday evening In the undertaking establishment of B. C. IngeraolA The body waa interred on Tuesday at Gloucester. The house In which Elllnger was captured caused attention again to be drawn to its owner, the notorious Jimmy Burke (taadore Album) whose term in the County Jail soon expires after serving a six months' sentence as a drug peddler. Several months ago Sheriff Redding captured Album’s wits attempting to muggle liquor In to the prisoners In the County Jail. She Is free on a ball bond at present.
