LIBRARY GROWTH DUE TO EFFORTS

' OF MISS BOGERTEditor, Metuchen Recorder:

It was with much pleasure that we noticed in the issue ’ o f ihc Re­corder dated April 7th that public

i recognition is being accorded to the , work o f those who have made our l_MelucheiLjLahrai^-a_Jiving and vital, force in the corhmunity.

As one who was a member o f (he Board o f Directors some years ago,at a time when fov”....years the

i Library-: was content to eke out a purely perfunctory existence, I feel

i that too much credit cannot be given to those who are at present admin-

; i.stering its affairs, who have had a [ vision o f some o f the needs of our

borough, and have intelligently and ; energetically set themselves to make

the Metuchen Library meet those needs to the fullest possible extent.

While the interested and construc- . live efforts o f the members o f the organization have been apparent to us all, yet it will be noted that the rejuvenation o f our Library coin-

| cides wiith the term o f office o f the present Librarian, Miss Julia Bogart

! and tfiere can be no doubt that the j position which the Library holds in our town today is principally due to

! her originality o f conception and her unceasing effort, in face of many discouragements, in giving to Me-

of itself,” a real Library.I am therefore moved to send

you this'w ord o f appreciation o f the real service which Miss Bogert has rendered to the community, and I feel sure that all who have watched

j the recent growth o f the Library, will join in the thought that has prompted me to do so.

Respectfully yours,P. G. CRAIG.

Caveators against the last Will o f Dr. F’ reeman sought to have the will set aside in the orphan’s court

I on the ground's that the testator was | mentally and physically unfit to * niake such a document and also on j the grounds that undue influence

was brought to bear upon him.Hairy Mohring is named residu-

ry legatee o f the estate which in valued in excess o f $100,000.

The hearing on the caveat was before Judge Kirkpatrick. Russell E. Watson, counsel for the four sisters o f the testator, Miss Nellis Free­man o f Cuba, Miss Sallie Freeman o f Brooklyn, Miss Jane Freeman o f Nutley and Miss Augusta Freeman o f Boston, was on hand, with ex- Sena tor Thomas Brown o f Perth Amboy, representing Mrs. Mary W il- , kins F’ reeman, the authoress w idow , o f the testator.

Attorney Davy was the filst wit­ness called and told o f his qualifica^ tions as a counsellor at law. He testified that he was admitted to the bar in New Jersey in 1889. ----- --

H e'testified that he prepared the last will o f Dr. Freeman oq July 12, 1922. He stated that the will was* signed, by Dr. Freeman in his pres­ence and also in the presence of Mrs. Davy, wife o f the witness, and Louis Mohring, father o f the resi­duary legatee, at the Davys home in Belleville.

"When Dr. Freeman came to my home in Belleville on July 12, 1922, he was accompanied by Louis Moh­ring. Hr came into my home and talked with me while Mrs. Davy and Mr. Mohring chatted on our front porch. . I took out the will that 1 had prepared and read it to Dr. Freeman and he gave his ap­proval and requested that Mrs. Davy and Mr. Mohring be called in (;o witness it. -‘

"Dr. Freeman was ^ ttin g at the dining ropm table vvlieh Mrs. Davy and Mr. Mohring came into the house. His sign wt& very bad and I had to point to the line on which he was to sign. Before signing the will, he turned to Mrs. Davy and Mr. Mohring and asked them if they thought he was capable o f making a will and they replied that they thought he was.

S b I e e" h r o 5 dth" 1903- Read how the fuml‘ment •* ‘ h«t Prophecy is now made

For many years it has been Henry Ford’s personal ambi­tion to make the Ford the universal family car-to put it within the reach of the millions of people who have never been privileged to enjoy the Benefits of motor car ownership. nDuring the past fifteen years over 7,500,000 Ford cars have been placed in the hands of retail customers—more than a million and a half of them within the past twelve months--and yet there are still millions of families who are hopefully looking forward to the day when they can own a Ford. ^And now the way is open. «Under the terms of this plan you can select your Ford Car, set aside a small amount each week and you will be surprised how soon you will own it. In the meantime your money will be safely deposited to your credit in one of the local banks where it will draw interest.Think it oyer. Five dollars will start an account. The whole family can participate in it-father, mother, broth­ers and sisters each doing a little.Why not start today. Stop in and talk it over with your local Ford dealer. He will be glad to fully explain the details of the plan and help you get started toward the ownership of a Ford car.^ ..... I

NO NEED FOR TIMETABLE

Residents of English Village Had Their Own Method* of Keeping

Track of Trains.

The village inn in Essex where I took tea the other evening is only two wiles from a railway station, but my request for a timetable created a mild excitement. The maiden .who waited on me referred the matter to the land lord, who appeared in person. tTve got a timetable aomewhere, sir;” he said, “but I don’t rightly know where to lay mjr hand on it. Anyhow, lt’a a bit old —1912 or thereubouts.”

"Well,” I said,“ perhaps you can tell me how the trains go.”

“Lizzie,” he crflled out, "what was that train old George went up by last Tuesday?”

Volca from the kitchen—“I duimo. He left here Just after dinner, and then he had to call up at the mill on the way.”

I “Oh, ah, so he did. WeU, there used to be one about half after 2. You know that on^ Mrs. Rogers caught when she went to see her son in the ’orsepital.”

It was then 5:30 p. m., so 1 slipped out and tramped to the station. I missed Mrs. Rogers’ train, but I must have caught old George’s, for there ap­peared to be only two running.— Wind­sor Magazine.

Fataful Three Words.“ See that woman over therer "Yes, what about her?*’"Well, if it hadn’t been for three

words she said ten years ago, I would be as wealthy as f ’rpesus now !”

"Delightful situation. Go uhead with the talel”

"Well, her father owned all the ■afety-pln plants in the country and the family was Just rolling In wealth. And with all her riches she waa mean enough to deprive me of my chances of making $10,000,000 at a blow! Imagine!”

"What's the rest o f the dope? What i are the famous three words?”

"Why. I was going to marry her [ and then nil her millions would have j been mine, hut—"

“But what?” j"Bat when I asked her to be mine j

she said, ‘No, you fo o l!’ "—Amherst Lord Jeff.

English Royal Marriages.Statute law gives an English king

larger powers than any other head of a family In supervising matrimony. Under the terms o f the royal mar­riage act o f 1772 no descendant of George II (except the issue ol prin- cesses marrying into foreign families) j is capable of contracting matrimony i Without’ the consent of the reigning sovereign, subject to an important sav- ; Ing clause which the Wisdom of par- j liament dictated.

A member of the royal family may | marry in spi|e o f the sovereign’s veto, ‘i If he or shq'has reached the age o f I twenty-five, and has given 12 months* notice to the privy council. Wi>ere j these conditions are fulfilled the mar- j rtage is valid, unless both houses o f , parliament declare their disapproval.

The fanner apparently is the last hope of the League of Na- t ons international banking crowd. Every other device to drum up public sentiment for America’s entrance into European affairs have failed, those who, for one reason or another, desire to en­tangle this country in the foreign mess, are suddenly evincing

i great interest in and sympathy for the farmer. A veritable flood i of propaganda is being released calculated to show the farmer that the unfortunate conditions surrounding agricultural and

The book, “ Dust and Its Dangers,” by Dr. T. A. Prudden Iv.n nut hont New York, isaof rth ytadaunfettniocsoet-lte 1 t of New York, is authority for the statement that an adult con­sumptive walking on the streets will expectorate a billion germs" eveiy day. These germs are mixed with the dust, they are then tracked into the home on shoes, where they find lodgment in the rugs. People breathe the dust laden air and become infected. (-

At the presenT death rate from tuberculosis and pneumonia,20,000,000 people living today are doomed to die of these dis-

, eases unless absolute cleanliness is established in our cities and I towns. The best way to combat these diseases is to eliminate the causes of infection.

One of the greatest instruments of war against the great White Plague is the Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign. Among the'results of this campaign are the enforcement of the Anti-!i01 1,4111 Street. Spitting ordinance, the erection of sanitary drinking fountains,! . 'the thorough cleaning of streets and alleys, and the populariza-1

tion of washable, germ-proof surfaces through the cleaning andi f tpainting inside and outside ot homes; schools and all other build-j ings-ki which people live and work. The National Tuberculosis Association declares “the easiest way to get rid of the germs that have nested in your house and around your premises is to clean up and paint up.” „ ' j
