Vocational sAool. f There were fourteen members pres- I r ent and judging from the expressions > r on their faces, all had a good time. I 3 The usual time devoted to games at 1 2 these meetings, was occupied in judgk ing corn, as this wag the evening set 1 [ apart to select a judging^eam to re- ' £ present our county at the Farmers' 1 £ Week Meeting, to be held in Trenton, ' r during week of January 10th. f This team will compete with many * 2 other teams of the state, m corn, 1 p dairying, swine, and potato judging 1 v for state honors. " l C The students were given a lesson in 1 £ corn judging, after which they were ! r i given a written test to bring the ability ' ? j of each as judges. 1 3 Twelve students took up the test 1 p axtfi after the papers were carefully ' v marked the following were chosen: 1 J Edgar McPherson, Russell Taylor, Russell Bailey, with Clarence -Mac! n- 1 - tire and Joseph Elliott as alternates. ' This team will be instructed furthe:} ' in the work of judging, with the aim ' to bringing home one cup to the ! county. 1 After the corn judging, a very ' lively debate was held on the question of "wihich is the most advantageous 1 to the fanner, manure or crop cover?" 1 The debaters were, for cover crop, Russell Taylor, Edward Ashburn, AI- ' bert Gibson, and Harry Griffith. Those) 1 for manure were Clarence Maclntire, ' two were absent from this 6ide. The 1 debate proved that some thought and 1 study had been given to the topic, which was interesting and instructive. ' The judges awarded the decision in ' favor of the side debating for manure. After the debate, the president, ! Russel Taylor, called the business 1 meeting to order and the usual order of business was gone through with. 1 A special feature of This meeting ] was the final arrangement for a basket ' ball team, which will be in readiness ' to arrange for games in the near ' future. 1 R.

THE PRE-WAR RAILROAD FARES Nowhere is the "return to normalcy" necessary than in the restoration of pre-war railroad fares. Not being engaged in the conduct the management or the operating of railroad, it may not appear altogether in order for us to give or pass opinion. However, as we, with all the nation particularly interested, financially and patriotically, no serious objection ■ can be raised to a statement of the case as it appeals to us. First then, on our side, we have ceded to the railroads almost, if not altogether, the "right of eminent domain"; we have relinquished all our rights, title and privileges, with all , the advantages which the sole posses- , sion of a valuable franchise can give; , have surrendered the exclusive right of a public monopoly in transportation carrying with it the advanti age of making laws in favor only of the possessors of such public utilities. During the war period we guaran- , teed the payment of interest on bonds and other securities with the dividends! I stockholders; we paid up on in- | creased wages to railroad employees , and other overhead charges by high fares and freight rates with, extra war We have done all this to enable the ; rail loads to furnish transportation for ■ ourselves and the things we need. Would it not be fair for the railroads to meet us in the "return to . normalcy" by reducing fares and freight rates, and and be content with a comprise in the high fares exacted for interest and dividends? ^ Can we not at least have a chance do business freely and sensibly as the world war? Does it cost very much more to haul, I stop and start an empty train than it does for a full one ? It is scarcely believeable that the and tear with other current ex- , penses would be very much more and . it does seem as though more passeng- , ers at' a reduced rate would not be . detrimental to the financial condition and returns of the railroads. As a matter of justice, economy, . common sense and harmony in action and feeling is it not possible for the railroads and the denizens of the seashore resorts to get together and agree upon a plan for the reduction of railroad fares for the benefit of all ?

GOLDEN WEDDING r The following poem, composed by Mrs. Eliza D. Hand, widow of Henry < , Hand, former treasurer of the City • of Cape May, N. J., was read at the I , celebration of the Golden Wedding of ' f Hon. James J. Doak and Mary Stil- ' ( well Doak, on Saturday last, 18th inst 1 : Mrs. Hand is enjoying the spirit of « youth in her 91st year and exhibits • , all the brightness of her intellect, j though unable to be present through ^ physical disability. < ^ i 1 "Just fifty years ago tonight j In a home not far from here; ; Some relatives and friends had met , - And they seemed to be full of j good cheer. , f ' For the wedding was on hand that J night, ' , Of young James and his Bonnie ' ^ Mary; And a prettier little bride than she 5 I assure you is seen quite rarely. ^ i r They vowed to be true to each other i < As long as they had life; < : And then the parson duly r Pronounced them man and wife. 1 i > Of all the guests Who were there 1 that night, i Just two today are living; 1 When 1 tell you who they are, 1 you'll be no wiser; . > For I'm sure you know; it's Reu- ; ■ ben and Eliza. 1 t' Reuben no doubt is with you tonight, < Eliza is too far away ; ! They think her "too old" (or is it I too young?) i j To travel so far astray. * ; However, she is with you in spirit, ' , And she's going to have her say ! Anfl that is this, she wishes these ' dgar ones, ! | "Many happy returns of the day." ^ Yes, fifty years have passed away ] 1 Since those well-kept vows were i made; ' And you've travelled along to this j , Golden Day Through sunshine and through j ^ The shadows will come into every . < life. They have come into yours and ' , mine, ( " But if we look at the blessings we 1 1 have, , The shadows are left behind. | , 1 My brother dear, you've been ; blessed . WJth a sunny-hearted wife; (' A wife who's been true and faithful , ] to you, . 1 All the days of your married life. ! And vou have been true to her I I w; 1 Faithful and kind and true You have loved her above all earth- 1 ly gifts, j 1 Thai God has given to you. ! | And the blessings of children has | ' come, to you; |„ Three girls and three boys to ' treasure, ^ Surely the Father has pressed down Yours, blessings in good measure. * With fifty years between you j ' ,fVnd your well-kept wedding- vow; The Golden Age, my dear ones j Is not all a fable now. j t And sweet as has life's vintage been ' Through all your pleasant past; | Still, as at Cana's marriage feast : The'~best wine is the last. j ^ ■» ' |f But friends. I fear we're tiring you, , And taking up your time, i You came for an evening's pleasure, 1 j Not to listen to these crude lines. I j Scjnave a good time, enjoying youri selves, j J^jwT think of me once in a while; For I am enjoying it with you, J And will answer you with a smile. Perhaps in fifty years from now, Some 'one who tonight is here, F Will write up the anniversary, -Of this Golden Wedding Year. F So let us Live for those who love us ""For those that we love, too, For the heaven that smiles above us; ^ F And waits for our spirits too. tF ~ For alLihe ties that bind us^ For the tasks by God assigned us, For the bright hopes left behind us, '■ And the good that we e^n do."
