RICHEST SOIL IS THE WORLD AT SALT MARSHES The ETiuer Times calls attention to the fact that Mr. Collings wood, editor of the Rural New Yorker, paid some compliments to this State in his recent speech at the Freehold meeting of the Horticultural Society, which will bear repeating at this time. He said that New Jersey has the most widely diversified soil in this nation. We start from sand used for molding and glass making and end with clay for brick, running through all degrees of soil and New Jersey has them all . The richest land in the world , lies at our salt marshes almost untouched, naturally richer than the prairie soils of Iowa and some day they will be utilized as they have been in Holland. There are still millions of acres in this State untouched by the plow and with the possible exception of California, no State lias a wider range of production . Witli her hea<f in the snow and her feet in the warm waters, it is no wonder that Jersevmen do not become hot-headed or get cold feet. The southern part of the State is to bceome the garden spot of the United States. New Jersey's yield of corn per acre is higher than in any western State and prices for her products range higher per pound than those from any other State. The true wealth and greatness and character of this State, came out of' the soil . 50.000 GIRLS DISAPPEAR ANNUALLY IN UNITED STATES In the February Woman's Home Companion Emily Bar-top . Rcid lias an exceedingly interesting article on "The Man Across the Aisle" in which she says: "General Binghain former Police Commissioner of New York, is authority for the statement that fifty thousand girls disappear in the United States every year. That may seem like an exaggerated estimate, but the General has more recently repeated it in a private letter, together with the assertion that he believes it an understatement, rather than otherwise. Perhaps ff you could sHaro for one day the experiences of the average officer of the Travelers Aid Society, you would share the General's conviction."

COUNCIL OP THE DOMESTIC ARTS. ing of lh« County Council could not t bo present last Saturday, it was de- c elded to hold a conference of the mem- a bers Instead of a regulation, meeting, i and to give tha new secretary. Sirs, fi John Say re. data for a beginning. The I' attendance represented a large part of J the County and thus was good. The ' topic -was the Contests of the Autumn, and measures to be taken to have the 1 1 competition representative of the en- ? tire county Instead of sectional. The F decided should be distinct from that for g garden and field crops, each being large enough to stand alone. The prizes in - each should be for individuals, for cl^bs and for districts, and the prizes would be articles for use or tokens rather T than money. Where money was donated It w-ould as a rule, be so used. Mrs. Stafford of Seaville. was appointed h organizer for Upper arid Dennis Town- o ships, Mrs. E. L. Rice for Middle, and tl Mrs. Edna Endicott. for Lower. Mrs. b Mary V. Risley was first to offer a tl prize. New members of the Council f< enrolled were Miss Dorothy Hemphill, s of Dennis; Misses Helen Vandyke and U Lea Harris of Rio Grande, and Marcella v McCraven, Stone Harbor. Miss Hemp- " reported a new circle under- her a charge forming In Dennis.

Cape May Court House. N. J.. Jan. 24. 1914. To Members of Boards of Education, Cape May County. N. J. Gentlemen: — Cape May County now the proud distinction among the other counties of the State, that it la only one, in which every school building in use. conforms, in ail essentials to requirments for modern, com-well-ventilated and attractive school buildings. Bach school building of such a character as to impress visitors with the idea that our communities are progressive. Intelligent and public spirited. As a rule, school grounds of ample size have been pro--^-** vlded In all of our township and borough districts, and the next uuty is te make these ' attractive. In most cases they should be graded and curbed, or perhaps enclosed with neat fencing, 'play grounds- should be plotted and play-ground apparatus ia way of swings, horizontal bars, etc., provided. Wherever possible a base diamond should "be made and, la case of high schools at least, a permanent tennis court built. This Is the time, of the year when such matters should be planned, and I would suggest that a committee be appointed for the consideration of this Our schools exist for the children, and should be made attractive to them every way possible. Aa Cape May depends largely for Its Income upon visitors, everything should bo done to Invite them, and to impress with the fact that our county to one of the pleasant plaoes of the earth. Inhabited by an enlightened people, ▼ery truly yours, AARON W. HAND, County ■apsitulsni— t.
