Herei the reason— *S install ARCOLA X)UU

These money bags represent the average price of Arcola for the past two years. See how the price is lower thia month, NOW, than ever befo.re Thousands of people will wait 1 until next Fall, when Steamfit- ] ters and Plumbers are rushed to j death, before ordering Arcola. > You can cash in on your* fore- ' sight by telephoning for an esti- ^ mate this month, NOW. «

It means good-bye to cold rooms; good-bye to high coal bills. An Arcola system means an American Radiator in every room and it pays for itself in the fuel it saves. A. Maijotte of 184 Division Street, Rouge, Michigan, has a seven home. Formerly he heated two rooms with two stoves. Now he heats all seven rooms with ARCOLA and American Radiators a ton of coal a year besides. pries of a ton of coal a year is worth saving; see ARCOLA today.

HOG CHOLERA CONTROL The Cape May County Board of Agriculture, in conjunction with the State Board of Agriculture at Tren- , ton, is again mustering forces for a I successful hog cholera campaign on the same lines as carried out for the last three years. TTie tilan will be for those who care to have their animals treated to get in touch with the nearest committeeman and have him list the number of hogs to be treated, giving the approximate weight of each animal. When this list is complete in each community, the committeeman leading this project will send his list to the office of farm demonstration- When all lists are received" by the farm , demonstrator, the State veterinarian ' wiB be sent for- All names must be in by May 20. L' The kind of treatment will be the ' simultaneous method, which immun- 1 1 Ize the animals permanently. There I will be no cyst except for the actua' I ' cost of serum and a small fee of 5 j ' or lO cents per head for catching the animals, where there is no help when ' the Veterinarian arrives on the I . farm. V j The following committeemen have , again agreed to receive lists of animals to be treated this vear: E. E- Madara, Palermo; Washing- 1 , ton Van Gilder. Petersburg; Milton ' Godfrey, Tuckahoe ; A.

It's Mav 20Fjnit Crop Not Yet Lost Whale many orchards have been very severely hurt by frost, there are . ..still left enough peaches and apples to warrant spraying. In fact, the orchardirts who do not spray will be the ones who will stand chances for heavy losses, for there are not a sufficient number of fruits left to take care of both ' man and insets. Last year several "rowers were discouraged at the start, thinking that they did not have enough small fruit left to make it worth while to spray. Later in the season thev found that, had they continued wsth their spray . schedule, they would have a fair crop. If there ever was a time to take care of your orchard, it is now. Good cultivation and prompt application of nitrate of soda will go a long way towards preventing the customary June drop. New Jersey Fruit Growers Organize The New Jersey Fruit Growers' Co-operative Association has formed and employed a manager to take charge- The object is to secure better packing, storing and marketing, so that the New Jersey fruit grower will .not have to take" second place with other fruit selling organizations in marketing our Jersey growji fruit.

FIGUREHEADS TYPIFIED THE a *tr ROMANCE OF THE SEAS From the dawn of maritime history when the intrepid Argonauts set sail under the banner of Jason in the Argo to explore the trackless reaches of the Euxine Sea, down through the succeeding chapters when the Phoenician galley carried its merchandise to . ancient markets; when Caesar navigated his sloops of war through the opalescent waters of the Mediterranean; when the Great Dragon of the venturesome Vikings careened thru Arctic wastes in search of the verdant shores of Vineland; right down to the end of the last century when our own clipper ships with their symmetrical lines and full, arched, white sails fled like wTaiths before the freshening breeze to the four corners of the earth, the figurehead has been inseparably associated with the traditional romance of the seasA ship has been primarily an immensely practical thing, constructed according to well defined plans, with comparatively small latitude for variation- Its evolution has been altogether scientific and the builder of: ships found in his work no opportuni- • ty for artistic expression save in the figurehead. Upon this, however, he poured his gifts 3f ornamentatior i with a lavish hand. The result was i seen in elaborately carved, gaudily colored and, frequently, incongruous effects protrudin" from a ship's bows, but in the eye of the sailor these weird creations at the stem were as j essential a part of the shin as the ! rudder at the stern. It was just as necessary that, the j face and form of the effigies be kept i freshly painted as it was that the I national emblem be kept flying at the masthead. It was no menial task to be told off to give the figurehead a | coat of paint, but it labor of love i Oftentimes it was a case of paint in" I the lily but willing hearts and grimy hands were always ready to bestow hours of faithful devotion to the ! work. Here was the mariner's art gallery; here was the sculpture ofj the seas as highly prized as the art , collector's rarest treasure. , The forms of figureheads hare | been influenced by national characteristics and folk-lore, rather than ty i a shin became indicative of the nation under whose flag it sailed. Images of legendary maiders, universal custom, so that the- bow of sometimes enveloped in flowing robes, sometimes sharing their human foms with those of birds or animals, poirt- ■ ed the way for the triremes of tie • mariners of Greece. Prows of Boman galleys were adorned with bz- • zarre representations of the natior's ' • deities or some imaginary monster >f ' the deep, and hard" Norsemen —t o ■ sea under the guidance of carvtd j 1 Wodens and Brunnhildes. Galleoisjj ' of Cadiz crashed their way througi 1 1 ' the Spanish Main to the eternal bee:- j 1 onings of gilded dons and fantastic!! saints, while the East Indiamen sal-:' I ed proudly to its dock on the Thanes 1 under the sleepless vigilance of a c. none too complimentary likeness of 1 1 some popular stateman or grandiose-' skipper. 1 I Fifty years ago one might have j i walked along the waterfront in any J of our ports under a veritable canopy [ of clipper shins.

Swarthy admirals with vermilion cheeks and cobalt coats made a berthing acquaintance with ferocious, sienna-e-d Indian ; chiefs; graceful mermaids with carmine faces and silvery tails exercised ; their luring wiles over incongruously ' •olored, ethereal saints, and venerable found themselves in close ■

''ne oI v'essels running out of New j. j l ork years ago had figures of differ- >• i eirt. ^"t® oc the bows of its ship>f ! aa ,Jt became commonly known as l_ i the Saant Line." e I En^rtaining, perhaps, the theory c | that his interests would be more rj closely watched and his shi« better s protected if they were under his own y supervision, the shipowner sometimes < used a model of himself as a figure- ., head on his vessel. He could not sail e himself on long voyages, therefore he , resorted to the next most effective e expedient of sending his own image j in his stead. To the crew it may, or e , ma>' n<*. have been an incentive to t j ^ood work and a deterrent from mis- , behaviour to realize that they werep j continually under the watchful eye— Q j even though it were a wooden one— :l fhe man in whose errtploy they ' XT- — t. , I ,. . .

* shipbuilding yard in those days v was considered to be completely v equipped unless it possessed adequate c . wood carving facilities, but also in t little villages along the, coasts many f j an independent craftsman found lut crative employment by ohisellin" and painting fantastic ornaments for the , ships. At the height of the ornamen- . tation period in American .shipbuild- . ing S500 was considered to be a rea- ! son able price for a well -executed figurehead. Then came the iron ships and some ■ worker in metals found that fi"ure-hc-ads could be cast cheaper than they .' could be carved, and toward the end of the century, hollow-cast bronze , figures were in use. This innovation marked the beginning of the end of the profession of figurehead carving , a decline made more rapid by the ■ adoption of steam as a means of marine propulsion. Ornamentation gave way to practicability in shipbuilding, the curving bow was super- ] seded by the straight stem, and the figurehead is now a memory among I ancient mariners and a closed chap- , ter in the romance of the seas. Its massing, however, was not accomplished without a struggle, and i its complete elimination vias.4 gradual process. Old-time shipowners" reluctant to let go their hold on a tradition which had come down to , them from the time when men first , went down to the sea in ships, and the last lingering stages* of the figurehead were seen in the modified ; forms of the scroll-head, the billet- , head and the fiddle-head. These may sometimes still be seel on the older I vessels of some European companies, , I but they have lost their place completely in American skipping. • Some of the lifehoit houses along j the shores of Englihd have their t walls adorned with figureheads taken ' from the bows of wricked ships, for ! when it was imnossibi to salvage the , hull the figurehead fas always res- ' cued. These now py silent tribute ! to the hours of battb' waged between < gallant lifeboatmen Bid angry seas. in this country! figureheads are ' no more and figuraead carving is < numbered among tH lost industries, j The. raucous note of the steam siren , on the high seas Bunded its death ( knell, and the old Food carver has * been compelled to kv aside his ham- * mer and chisel- »pr gaUant argo- ^ sies of former yeas proudly followed ' the beckoning of m enticing figurehead, but the mo<A"n liner leaves a trail of dark smte in its wake — more practical, peraps, but who shall say that it is roof picturesque ?
