Selling Packed Eggs.
Causes Some Grief
One of the loading merchants of this
city Informed us the latter part of the
ueek that a oeitaln fatnier living near
here had a narrow eseapo fiom being
hfaily fined for violating the puio
food law, a few days previous.
The fanner had biought a quantity
of eggs to town which he disposed of
to tills said merchant, ami he, after u
day or so, sold them to a certain put ty
residing in town. Not one of the eggs
proved to bo fresh, and the party who
put chased them, immediately came
with his grief to the merchant of
whom he bought them. It so happen
ed that a state food Inspector was In
the store at the time, and on hearing
the conversation endeavored to induce
the merchant to tell the name of the
farmer of whom he purchased them.
However, not wishing to make grief
for the farmer, the merchant refused
to give his name, thereby saving him
from a pretty stiff flue , JJut it should
be a lesson to the farmers, because
some day, ttfey will run against a mer
chant who will not be as considerate
' as this one proved to be, and as a
consequenco it will cause them to put
' quite a bunch of the "long green" in
the state coffers.

Especial credit Is due toDr. Mltchel,
and the balance of the committee for
enllstlnor the attention of the citizens
in the movement. This committee
which was appointed by the Chamber
of Commerce, consisted of Paul Storey,
Robert Mitchell, James Mcintosh and
J. A McArthur, who took charge of
the work.
The roads reculvlug the principal
attention were the ones between this
city and Amboy, and tho two roads
running south and tho roads cast and
west of the river bridge, aud the roads
leading due uortli.
In most places the work consisted
chiefly of lllllng up tho holes and
smoothing down tho load bed, but
where It was icqnlred some stiff cut
ting nnd iilllne; wbs employed In
this issue will be shown the pictures
of the men resting from their labors.
The public schools were uot behind
in their effort to do something for
their country. Thirty-four of the
high school boys were out and demon
strated that they could readily fill the
places of men in loading wagons.
Herbert Ludlow, the popular restau
reteur erelnced his public spirit by
furulshing the thirsty laborers with
coffee which ho made and carried to
the bridge for their noon lunch.
Had It not been that court was In
session, many more would have gladly
contributed. As it was the two days
stand out as red letter days in the
history of the county, and tho result
shows what the people are capable of
doing in the way of public- benefit
when they are properly led and organ
ized. Wo are just beginning to realio that
road Improvement is ono of tho prime
necessities of the time, and that good
roads are u very important factor in
tho county's wealth. This Is a good
year to do more of this work. Next
year will probably bo a great crop
year. Wo can contiibute to the value
of that crop this year by making tho
markets more accessible, by making
the' roads more easy to bo traveled,
and permitting the ready transporta
tion of the loaded wagons. When
crops 'are light is the time to prepare
for the transportation of the heavy
crops.
The Chief would like to see another
occasion of tills nature this fall. We
might just as well make a festival of
road making, as to make a burden of
it. There is nothing that makes life
richer than the sense of working to
gether voluntarily, once iu a while for
some public advantage. Wo might as
well picnic over good roads as any
thing else. If Dr. Mitchell will stir up
the community again on tills subject
ho will approve himsolf to the judg
ment of tho people who arc able to
luok into the futuiu aud appreciate
public spirit an 1 publiu enterprise
The Chief made a strenuous ett'ort
to secure the names of all who con
tributed to this worthy cause, either
financially or with labor, but their
was so much territory to bo covered,
and mistakes aieso easily made, that
should we have omitted your name, we
ask that jou notify us, or Dr .Mitchell,
and the mistake will be rectified in
our next Issue.
There is m special charm to pictures
you make yourself. Let us show
you how simple picture taking Is.

This Government Won't Put
Its Money
In a bank that does not guarantee it against loss.
Why Should You?
The United States will not deposit a dollar in a
National Bank, on any other bank, unless the bank
urnishes a bond for twice the amount deposited.
The United States Government can at any time
make an investigation of any National Bank and learn
all about its resources. But still the Government de
mands a guarantee for its deposits why shouldn't YOU
have protection.
Your deposits in this bank are protected by the
State Guaranty Law no matter what happens
