GRIT AND W0RK7 CHEER UP i
CURE FOR HARD TIMES j
—.. —• t
NEW YORK, Sept, 2D—Grit, de
termination and hard work can cure
the economic conditions that upset i
the country, in the opinion of t
Thomas A. Edison. 1
The Inventor believes a general <
pessimistic view of the situation has <
d»r.e -iisch to bring about depres
sion, and that "good times" can bo
restored by optimism, faith, com
mon sense and hard work.
“Nothing to worry over,” he said,
“If we set ourselves resolutely to tho
Wsk.
“Hard times come in recurring :
Cycles, and are nothing new. Tho 1
point is that the country always ‘
recovers from them and goes for- ‘
ward with greater strides than <
before.
"We will get over it now, too. '
The Idea has begun to turn. Times
are getting better slowly. The had
periods are caused by n faulty ad
ustment of our economic machine, 1
or by some unusual force, such ns
war.
"The machine will work properly
as soon as the obstruction is re
moved."
GOVERNOR PROCLAIMS
FOR PREVENTION DAY
TRENTON, Sept. 20.—Citing the
fact that the burning up of created
wealth, witli its attendant heavy loss
of life, goes on apparently uncheck
ed. despite costly experiences of
ruinioua conflagrations in the past,

r proclamation designating Monday,
| October 10, as Eire Prevention Day.

i citizen of the state to take an ac
tive part in making this day and
period of practical value.
Governor Edwards declared in his
r proclamation that over $1,416,000,
000 of the resources of this country
were destroyed by tiro between 1915
[ and 1919 inclusive. Excepting for
the year of the Han Francisco catas
trophe, 1920 witnessed tho greatest
year’s loss over suffered by the
IJnited States, with a total of $500,
5l non nnn t>\a statement: showed. The
losses in New Jersey alono during
the foregoing five year period, the
governor said, were $63,679,625. But
; the greatest penalty of all, the ex
ecutive declared in concluding, is the
appalling loss of life in fire, there
l; having been nearly 15,000 persons,
mostly women and children, burned
i to death in this country each year.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Sept. 29.—
As the result of the outcome of the
primary elections there Is consider
able talk here of the organization of
an independent Republican ticket to
be put into the field for the general
election.
It is pointed out by advocates of
the scheme that the biggest majority
of the votes cast on Tuesday were
the votes of the supporters of the
machine candidate* and that those in
favor of a better administration of
county affairs failed to appear at the
polls. It is thought that a last min
ute effort to give the independent
Republican voters a chance to put
their men into office should be made.
The regular Republican organiza
tion. of course, is jubilant over the
results of the primaries and the suc
cess of its efforts,
Woman Regains Sight
By Strength of Will
CLEVELAND.—Train your sub- !
conscious mind! Make it work for 1
you! Then nothing will be beyond '
the realm of your own possibilities. |
This is the theory of Miss Anna ]
Maud Hallam. practical psychologist.
Miss Hallam Is vital, successful,
enthusiastic proof of her own
theories.
She was stone blind at one time,
and due to the awakening of her
own latent possibilities, she recover
ed her sight.
Health Breaks Down
“It was only a short time after
leaving college that the train of ex
periences which broke my health
began," says Miss Hallam. “My
mother died. I became seriously ill
and after a long convalescent pe
riod began the planning of a home
with my liance—a real pal whom I
had long known. Suddenly a mes
sage came telling me of his death.
"Then it was that I broke down
completely and lost my sight.
“I became possessed of a great de
sire to leave my home in New York
and go to Colorado. That was my
subconscious mind coming to the
rescue—because it was in Colorado
that my sister one Sunday led me
into a little church where I was
given the thought which gave me
courage.
“The minister in that little church
said:
" w
" ‘Friends, I believe when we can
understand the law of human life as
well as Mr. Kdison understands elec
tricity, we can be well and happy
and prosperous. When we can make
the effort to get acquainted with hu
man life and its automatic law, as
Mr. Burbank has the law and life
of plant, tree and flower, we then
shall be able to make at least a cor
responding change in the human for
improvement.’
"That gave me my cue.’’
After listening to all of the books
on applied psychology which her sis
ter could read' to/her, Miss Hallam
asked to be seated before a mirror.
There, believina: the mirror an aid
to concentration, she practically
willed the return of her eyesight.
Comma nets Vision
She repeated aloud during 15 min
utes several times every day these
words:
"Cells of my eyes are readjusting
for perfect eyes, for perfect eye
sight.”
Two weeks from the day she be
gan the concentration, according to
Miss Hallam, she was able to see per
fectly.
Then she began concentration for
perfect health.
That, too. came as willed. With
in six months she was perfectly well.
All of this, says Miss Hallam, is
the result of putting the subcon
scious mind at work.

In an effort to cause tile voters of
this place to "swing" from him to
his successful opponent Arthur A.
Deter, furnish the principal topic
of conversation here now that the
primary election result is definitely
known. Valentine was not only de
feated in the township but in Avenel
as well, it having been expected he
would carry this place owing to his
position in favoring the new addi
tibn to the Avenel school.
The rumor which was started
Tuesday afternoon was to the effect
that Committeeman Valentino had
"sold out" to Colonia interests, that
instead of receiving a four-room ad
dition and large auditorium Avenel
was to get only a two-room addi
tion. and, that Colonia was to receive
a new school. This report spread
like wild-ftre, the women In partic
ular being greatly affected by the
news and immediately joined togeth
er to oppose Mayor Valentine for
his supposed action in the matter.
Commiteeman Gardner, who was
at his office in Jersey City, was noti
fied and he immediately left for
Avenel, where he got In touch with
the president of the Roard of Edu
cation and learned that no change
had been made in the proposed plans
for the school addition, which in
cluded four rooms and a large audi
torium. His Information was re
ceived too late, however, as the dam
age to Mayor Valentine had been
done, the votes cast against him and
no way remained in which to rem
edy matters. The supporters of the
mayor are incensed over the circu
lation of the false rumor that the
school plans had been changed. '
