One of the most interesting school . evehts of Jthe year occurred on Friday , last in each of the townships.. It was a new departure, in the matter of semiring the interest of school^girls in j She household arts of cooking and , aewing. •_ , . < For seven consecutive years, this , effort was a county-wide tjrie in which &11 schools were engaged, an j exhibit , from each being solicited for the County Fair. The date fixed for , the County Fair last September was , so .early ithat some schools had been j ppen but four days and others but , ten days, and it was impossible in , this limited period of time to pre- ( pare for a county contest exhibit. ( Other arrangements were, therefore, j piade. , The chief purpose of the contest #nd exhibit is to benefit the schools by inducing interest on the part of the pupils, and it was decided after T -ccveral conferences with the teach- ( ers, that this would best be accomplished by a contest and display in fiie spring, after several monfths en-i{ gaged in -such school . attention to J j these subjects as could be given. | Accorjlingl.v.-the spring schedule of county school events included the following: April 14th — Exhibit of sewing and cooking in each rural school for,the inspection -of the people of the community. Local trophies or prizes may be awarded, if community or teach- j ers desire.

REFERENDUM The scene in certain colored jus- j ' tice's court not so long ago must 1 have been interesting and instructive j 1 and it is a. pity that somebody did ; 1 • not get it^/or a phonograph record, j 1 case- (vas a church dispute of j ! some-kind. ; 1 The accuser and his wife were! present and much of the membership : of a certain church. The Justice ' apparently not ready to continue, j Some enterprising fellow concluded 1 ! that things were too slow and that ' something should be done about it, so ' he rose to his feet and said, "All them 1 as believes that the accuser (giving : name) has been lying about this r here case, hold up their rightzhands." ■ every right hand in the j room was raised exceptin- those of ' the accuser and his wife. The next 1 demand was "Everybody as thinks he tells the. truth,- raise dere. right J hands." Instantly two hands were * raised, those of the accuser and his ^ Now* this is what may be called ' 6trictly up-to-date, the settling of -TOUT$ xontro vp rsie* -by-initiative «h>4 4 referendum. .a 'spring season ; is the blood, i tonic eeason : J 1 Be Sure About W our Blood Condition, f If You Are Run-Down You Need t Gude's Pepto-Mangan, the Best Blood Tonic c ' - 1 MAKES BLOOD RICH AND RED J as a Blood-Builder for 30 ^ Years.

PARADOXIAL FINANCE NO. J I A paradox and an anomaly are so nearly identical as to' be classed as a "distinction without a difference." The "Ignus Fatuus" in our system of .Finance as a municipality is certainly well represented in the Collection^or properly speaking, the' nOncollection of Personal Property TaxPersOhiT Property Taxes represent a considerable per centage of Taxes not collectedi ©elving beneath the surface iri, search for the cause of sufch noncollection" it Will be found, that there is a very general impression that Personal Property Taxes'" are unjust and therefore to "side step" the pay- '' ment is quite "the proper thing" and justifiable; so no special effort is ..j marie to" pay them. A certain lameness seems to exist ! in the Law, since the Taxes in ques- , tion do not often appear in, the Tax Sales as advertised. The experienced, hard-beaded busiperson therefore, experiences no qualms of conscience and is not at all : exercised in defaulting, in payment and proceeds to "slide out of meeting any such obligation. I Sopie have in times past gone so | far as to defy the Collector td collect 1' Personal Taxes. As a consequence the amount of unpaid Personal Taxes accumulated ' in the "Round Robin" of past years is not only much more than is generally conceived and stands as an absolute loss to the municipality. Neither does it appear that any Collector has made any special effort to Collect the aforesaid Taxes. Rarely have extreme measures been adopted. Circumscribed with po many difficulties in Collection it seems as though Delinquent Taxes on Personal Property will remain the "Will Cj' The Wisp" in our Tax and Financial System. MERCER FARMERS TO USE " NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Newspaper advertising will have an place in the marketning me tiled s of Mercer County , tnis year, two large organizations of , growers having adopted the recommendations of the State Bureau of Markets in this respect on a scale that will be certain to attract public attention and create buying interest. fanners will advertise, both individually and cooperatively, and their publicity will boost sales direct and through dealers. The Mercer County Vegetable Grow ers' Association will begin an advertising campaign, chiefly through Trenton daily newspapers, as soon as firing vegetables are ready for marTheir advertisements will be built on. lines that will let the public khow which vegetables are in market uWthe time and fair prices for the same,'an<i*will tell of the, advantages of using stuff fresh from the farm gardens. The publicity will benefit the growers whether they sell their products to stores, commission men, direct from the farm to consumers, or through farmers' markets. Fruit growers, through the Mercer -County Board of Agriculture, have arranged a somewhat similar campaign to promote the s^lek of fruit on the -farm. Their original program has been curtailed, however, because of the disastrous March freeze that killed much of the fruit while in the blossoming stage, but a start will be made as conditions warrant. The orchard mfen plan to run their irdivid . ual advertisements collectively on the newspaper pages. For several weeks Chief A. L. of the State Bureau of Markets , has been bringing to the attention of truck anil -fruit farmers throughout the state the advantages of newspaper advertising as a part of their

I crop selling plan and there are indi- > cations in other parts 4>f the state as 1 well as in Mercer County that the great agricultural interests of New , Jersey will begin next summer to - take a place in the advertising .world . eommensurate with their business importance. ^ 1 JOEL L. ^EST 1 Joel L.
