Hie measure had preteialy passed the upper hounse by a rote of 12 to 9. The gain for the antiaaloonists is therefore 1 in the Senate sad 6 m the House over the record of the 1915 Legislature. There were two absentees yesterday in the lower branch. O. H. Hammond, of Somerset, who bv Special' request was recorded in the negative.' and Assemblyman Titus, who is , *11. The latter voted against the bill lest year. 8ome fifteen member* engaged in the i debate which preceded the ron call on the bin yesterday. One member, Assembly Wolverton, Eepublicaa, of Ckmden, an ardent local optimist, became so affected by the remarks of one of the measure's opponents that he could not Repress the tears and called his handkerchief into play, during the course of his speech. Other #ecches were noted for their fervid oratory in advocacy of "tho-b.il, spirited attacks upon It, "and several members talked in a conversational tone The galleries wen- ready to applaud all the speakers, but presiding officer Pilgrim used his gavel with ' good effect. After Assemblyman West of Glouccs- ' ter, had spoken briefly on the merits of ' jgjRGaunt Bill Rev. Mr. Iobst, of Hun- ' 'pgf<m' the on,J" Democrat to favor local ' -tfption. took the floor and opened the ' floodgates of oratory which lasted for ' more than two hours.

Referring to Schoen's idea to penalize the drinker, the Oamden man, with I a voice broken by his feeling, said: I "I know something of the fight men made against this habit, and know that the punishment they receive for its j practice is in itqelf sufficient. I hope the gentleman from Essex, in more calm thought, will reconsider the idea he has ' advocated here today."

Trthten, Feb. 15. — With the beginning of the last week of the present Legislative session during which Bills may be introduced, a flood of measures covering many subjects swamped the desk of the. clerk of the -House of Assembly last night. Over 130 new bills were put in by the members. One of the most important- of these KWns submitted By . Asemblyman and is the Republican party to amend the <3eran election law. -, It. has been expected all during session. The bill prorfdee. for personal, registration in municipalities hava population of less than 10^)00, instead A>f 6,000. A. new registration day is added, namely the Saturday preceding Vthe Tuesday two weeks from the jate of the election.

In Boone County, New York, a ' man two years ago bought a "worn-out" ' ; farm of 95 acres for $16.32 per sere,-, || and in two years made it pay 32 per cent on the investment. In addifion he { increased the market valutie of the farm ' several .times. The purchaser engaged a ' tenant to live on the farm and work ' under his direction. The land had been ° cropped continuously for a number of ' j-ears to hay and buckwheat and as a c result the soil was in poor physical eon- j " dition and lacked productiveness. j d The first year the yield of potatoes i a four acres was 90 bushels per acre. | 8 The next year the yield was 150 bushels | d acre. Commercial fertilizer was re- ! ° lied upon both seasonsto supply plant 6 limg and fertilizer were used in ® raising buckwheat and oats and the yields raised materially in the two b years. The owner pastured ten head b of young cattle .and renovated an old orchard on the farm. In addition to the * net returns of $694.60 to the owner, the a tenant and his family made a comfort- N able living. His share of the field crops was worth over $600 the second year, 01 while four bows that were kept as- U sisted in the support of his family. w jJL ' Advertise in the Star and Wave. K

TKX GOOD MAR qCSSTfOK. i- Appeal is being '»»*** r, interested in good ' re ads*' to attend ■ - the hearing on the Egan Highways Bill I- at T ten ton on Monday next. Automot, bile owners and members of the trade c, from every -part of the state will be' i- present to support this measure, which 1, provides for a seven million dollar bond i i, issue for the construction, reoonstruc- \ tion and improvement of routes throughout New Jersey. Effort is being made I ■- to have the rural population represented ' e as well as the . urban. t i- One noteable feature following the in- ' h traduction ot this measure by Senator I diaries M. Egan, of Hudson County, is . n thst nearly every newspaper in the < x state has taken cognizance of it in the s news columns and editorally as well, e Thus far there has been no criticism, as 1 n might be expected from some localities < s that Are to receive a leaser amount of < benefit in the milage of roadway to be 1 affected. Every paper has .seen fit to < endorse the plan embodied in the bill t n to have the automobile and motor ve- ] t hide license- fees, registration feci, 1 d fines, penalties etc., used to meet' the in- 1 ,- terest and principal of the big bond is- 1 e sue, rather than to burdsn the taxpayer* with the costs of the improvements. Governor Fielder, in referiring-to xhs '. bill recently, said , that the great objec- ' g tion to the bond issue rested '1n the 1 - fact tW before it became a law it had c e to be referred to the people, while a f g state law could be secured ' by the simp. pie passage of a bill through lie legisla- 1 t lure. He declared that the general j trend of' public seiitiment fo against bond issues. Senator E^an, 'however, p claims 'to the contrary, and has imri posely incorporated the referebduro pro- C r vision- in order to p«t the miitter up to i the people at the next genera! .lection J providing that the bill passes in the - Legislature, believing that the voting . population will readily see the advan- " tages of improved highways procurable b • withont added expotfsea oh the part of . the general public In his Opinion it is.i ! admitted througboflf -tfe skate that the •! ^ i automobile* wear out the 'roads, ahd his ! ^ i bill provides that the autointhilee shall b pay for the improved highways, but .4 without ad'le-i rosts to the owners of" the cats.. . s -v- * ,io " "I hope for -a large attendance at next £ Monday's hearing, -both from the city and farming districts. All persons should M

s- be interested in this . measure which 44 . r. to provide a very rnueh needed ilk- ' e, provtment in New Jersey and without Is cost to the taxpayers. Everybody will 1 r. admit: the urgent neod -of good roads; ! j ,. but they are costly. I believe that this A j. , lis the first time such a bin has ever 1 * been introduce^ in a New Jersey Lpgis- 1 .r lature, calling for good roads without ' d pqwibUity of an increase! lax 'rate, , and to serve ultimately toward bringing ' ,. about a reduction in the assessments in ! v varioiis counties. This latter will foi- j t. low because of the fact that the routes e included in my bill will be taken over j ... by. the state, and the counties relieved j of' the maintenance costs in the future. 1 "The farming sections have sa much ' , r to gain as the larger centers of popula- j tion, inasmuch as the tillers of the soil J e j * he enabled to get their product* to ' c . markets in less time than with the pres- y, , ent poor road facilities, and with less j , we%r and tear upon live and rolling G stock. In the cities and towns advan- 1 tage will lie in being able to procure , , produce rtiore readily and at consequent- 1 . ly cheaper rates. This is all aAide from ! " , the pleasure possibilities resultant from . improved highways, as well as the plan | being in line with the present nation- - wide movement for prepadednes* insofar I as good roads are very essential to the : speedy mobilization of defensive forces." S] In presenting Annette Kellermann, the 1 perfect woman," in the spectacular pic- 1 j tdhial production "Neptune's Daughter" i which appears at the Perry Street 1 , Theatre, Monday afternoon and night, j J The Universal Moving Pictures has reato believe that is has utered the word in photo-play art. The wondrous beauty of the story, written by — taptsin Leslie T. Peacocke, the enchanting scenes afforded by the Bermuda S Islands with their coral reefs, submar- 1 ine grottos, semi-tropic verdure and the J vast expanse ,.f the wide .Atlantic; the W of over 21K) actors', headed by Miss Kellermann, who, aside from ha- II marvelous acquatic feats, which she has ■ j many opportunities to display in this ! drama, proves that she is also a splendid j actress, a graceful dancer, an expert swordswoman, and mistress of a hundred arte which contribute to the sue- I cess of the production; the masterly staging of the drama by Herbert Brenon, j all these are factors which help to make I "Neptune's Daughter" a production to watched with delight and never to be forgotten. "Neptune's Daugh^' was produced at a cost of $50,000 and was three months in preparation. Its success in York has been sensational.
