S. CITIES IN MANUFACTURING Leads Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx in Industrial Growth, Says Ray Palmer. Boro ranks today amoug the arst twelve cities in the United States the importance of its manufactur-1 ng," states Ray Palmer, chairman of -11e Industrial Promotion Committee of the Queensboro Chamber of Commerce. 1910 States Census of Manufacturing, wizen has just been received by the Queensboro Chamber of Commerce, shows that Queens is growing at a faster rate from all industrial standpoint than the Boros of Manhattan, Brooklyn or the Bronx. "An increase of 275 factories in five! years gives an average increase of fiftyfive factories a year, or more than one a week.

This is exclusive of the hand trades, building trades and neighborhood industries, which are not included in the United States Census. "The increase in the number of industrial employees in Queens in five years was 37,201, which is an average of 3.994 a year, or 77 a week. In connection with the wages and salaries paid, it is interesting to note that the average wage paid to all employees in 1919 was $1,270, as compared with $692 in 1914. of the best tests of the industrial importance of any community is the capital invested in manufacturing. The increase in Queens in five years from $187,990,000 to $311,250.000.

or 65 percent, is a remarkable tribute to the economic advantages which Queens Boro offers for housing the industrial establishments of New York City. "The value of products represents their selling value or price at the plants as actually turned by the factories during the census year, whether sold or on hand. The increase of the value of products manufactured in Queens has been more than 100 percent in the past ten years. The value of products manufactured in Queens in 1909 was only $161,000,000, as compared with $331.000,000 in 1919. The average value of the products per factory in Queens for 1919 was $265,000, 08 compared with $84,000 for the Bronx, $176,000 for lyn, $153.000 for Manhattan and $412,000 for Richmond.

L. I. FARMERS WANT EXPERIMENT STATION Also Want Towns to Enforce Laws to Protect Roads. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. Nov.

19-- The farmers of Long Island are looking ahead and have opened up several channels of discussion. The farmers, through the Nassau and Soffolk farm bureaus, want the Boards of Supervisors to take charge of the enforcement of the highway laws, covering the loading and speed of trucks, instead of having this supervision under the tSate. It has been announced through Donald Wilson, general freight agent of the Long Island Railroad. that the railroad has been studying changes in the rate and service which would benefit the farmers. For instance.

011 Dee. 1 a new rate will go into effect on1 manure which will reon a and other inequalities in duce then, present rate by percent rates are to be adjusted as they can be are constant opponents of daylight saving and they agree that they will go before the proper railroad officials in a hearing before they can take the necessary steps to change the summer schedule for 1922 and ask the railroad to operate on standard time. The farmers of Long Island are interested in the experiment station at Geneva and they now anxious to have one on Long Island. Dean A. R.

Mann of the New York State Col lege of Agriculture is interested in this project and he has let the farmers know that the college and experimentation officials would be glad to consult with the farmers of the two counties on this matter. It is expected that this will be made the subject of the next meeting of the farm bu bureaus. The farmers would like to have a better understanding between the bankers and the farmers and the bankers will be invited to attend meetIngs of the farmers during the winter and discuss with them the service the banks will offer. Certain ers, it is known, favor more meetings between agricultural organizations and the banks, Another plan afoot is to bring the State School at Farmingdale into closer relation with the other agricultural organizations on Long Island. Old Huntington Pottery To Be Exhibited Tomorrow Huntington, L.

Nov. 19--Rare pottery exhibits will be the feature of the meeting of the Huntington Historical Society Monday afternoon, the society having been given two more exhibits for the collection by Mrs. William H. Stoyle. These two, like many others of the exhibit, represent the output of an old pottery at Huntington Harbor.

The larger of the two stone jars holds five gallons, is of gray stoneware with decorations in blue, and the rare roll or ram'shorn handles which are attached to the body of the jar only at their tips. It bears the imprint of Lewis Gardiner. Henry Lewis owned the pottery about 30 years, having in the interval several partners and sell. ing the business in 1854. This would make the new exhibits anywhere from about 75 to 100 years old.

The society has also been presented with a copy of the Salmon Records of Southold by itg editor, William A. Robbins of Brooklyn, one of the Committee of Publication of the New York Geneological and Biographical Society. QUEENS MARRIAGE LICENSES. James F. McKeon, 29.

C. S. Wightman, Now 84, Has Been 53 Years Pastor in Oyster Bay (Special to The Eagle.) Oyster Bay, L. Nov. 19-In this village there is a clergyman, beloved by young and old regardless of creed or color, who has been pastor of one church and superntendent of Its Sunday School for 53 continuous years.

The Rev. Charles S. Wightman, descendant of Edward W(e)ightman, England's last martyr who was burned at the stake, in 1611, has for that remarkable span of years been the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Oyster Bay, organized in 1700, and itself the oldest Baptist organization in New York State. am inclined to think genius of the Gospel is averse to long pastorates," Mr. Wightman said recently.

"In these days a novelty seems necessary, and long pastorates are apt to become monotonous for the church followers. There have been times when I thought it best to change, but then, again, something transpired and decided to remain. So I have labored on quietly." Mr. Wightman's modesty prevented him from saying that even in these modern days his pastorate at least has not proved a monotonous one for his followers. He will be 85 years old on March 9.

1929. Tall and straight, with a firm step, time has dealt gently with him. and only his snowy hair causes one to realize that he is in the evening of life. Never does he miss a service, preaching from the pulpit, nor a session of the Sunday School and prayer meeting. He preaches from the Gospel--nothing sensational, but just the homely doctrines of Christianity, which have stood the test of the long time he has given to his charge.

Sometimes he will gently chide a church member if he or she is not punctual or should omit a session. He is such A kindly, lovable character that the universal regard felt for him is only a natural one. He has long taken an active interest in the things tending to the walfare of the community, and just now he is keenly alert to an evangelistic campaign which is to be undertaken in Oyster Bay in January. Mr. Wightman was long a friend of the late The.

odore Roosevelt and the Roosevelt family. He refers to the ex-President as "a good man." Mr. Wightman was born in Middletown. lived there until 6 years of age, and was then taken to New York City, where he grew to man- Rockaway Man's Bride MRS. JOHN P.

CONNOLLY A recent bride was Miss Helen M. Reid. daughter of Mrs. Margaret S. Reid of 411 Pacific Brooklyn, who was married to John P.

Connolly of Far Rockaway. The ceremony was performed in Our Lady of Mercy Church at a nuptial mass of which the Rev. J. J. McAteer and the Rev.

J. O'Brien were the celebrants. The bride was given in marriage by her cousin, Frank Carew. and was attended by Miss Anna McBurney of West New Brighton 'as bridesmaid. Hugh Connolly was his brother's best mat and the ushers were Harry L.

Harkit and Steven J. Hession. Mrs. Connolly has been prominent in dramatic cireles in Brooklyn and is a member of the Mercedes Players. Mr.

Connolly served with the Machine Gun Com pany of the 106th Inf. during the war. He is a member of the Commodore Barry Club and of the U. S. Volunteer Life Savings Corps.

He rescued a young woman from drowning in the surf at Rockaway last summer. Mr. and Mrs. Connolly are liv. ing at 799 President Brooklyn.

TO AUCTION ROAD MACHINERY. Amagansett, L. Nov. 19-Machinery used to dredge gravel for construction of Montauk highway is to be sold at auction at Three Mile Harbor Nov. 28.

Action is brought against Nicholas Smith, owner, by Abraham L. Menier, attorney for lienor, under Section 20, State Lien Law. REV. CHARLES S. WIGHTMAN hood.

He was graduated from old New York College, in 1855. He did not enter the ministry until he was 30 years of age, serving for one vear at the mission of the Central Baptist Church. Brooklyn. From there he went to Oyster Bay, where he was ordained as pastor of the Baptist Church on Nov. 23, 1868, 53 years next week.

"When I came to Oyster Bay." he reminisced. "it was cut off from all communication from New York except by stages. There was no railroad then. When I became pastor I learned that the basis of organization of the Oyster Bay Church was from the Second Baptist Church of Newport, R. of which the Rev.

Daniel Wightman was pastor. He was an ancestor of mine, and was present in Oyster Bay when the church was opened, in 1724. His brother, Valentine Wightman, founded the First Baptist Church, in New York City." When the time comes for Mr. Wightman to answer the higher call, there will be a void left in the community that even time will probably never efface. for he has become al essential part of Oyster Bay in his kindly' ministerings.

L. I. FARMERS HAIL NEW GUNNING LAW Outsiders Practically Barred From Shooting in Some Places (Special to The Eagle.) Greenlawn, L. 1.. Nov.

19--The passing of the recent gunning law that carries a fine of $50 for gunning on posted lands: that states the mere carrying of a gun across such property is sufficient evidence to convict, and that one- the fine goes to the property owner, has been instrumental in causing the posting of hundreds of acres of farm and woodland in this and surrounding villages, and the formation of a gun club in this village, so that only local residents can enjoy the shooting in this section. For years past every fall this section was overrun by gunners who came out from the city, many of them foreigners without licenses and shot everything in sight, even to tame ducks and geese. The passing of the law has come IS 4. great relief to the farmer who has had these conditions to contend with. As soon as the law was passed they organized as the Greenlawn Gun Club and have posted their grounds such.

thereby eliminating the outsider, but providing gunning for the members of the club. Special deputy sheriffs have been appointed to look out for lators already several city gunners have felt the hand of the law to the extent of $50 fines.

1:21 5.6 1:10 6.0 Inspired by Wish to Save Husband Toil, Mrs. W.H.Roe Invents Motorcar Washer (Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. Nov. 19-When an itinerant peddler called at the home of Dr. William H.

Roe on East Main st. last April and tried to persuade Mrs. Roe to purchase one of his assortment of brushes, he did not realize that his visit would result in the invention of a little implement that may become a boon to motorcar owners. Airs. Roe, with a vision of her husband out in the yard throwing bucketfuls of water on their sedan, remarked that if the peddler had a brush.

that would do away with the splashing and waste of water she would gladly buy one. He had none that would do that work. Mrs. Roe, who. before her marriage to Dr.

Roe, was Miss Evona Smith, daughter of Alphonzo Smith, the piano manufacturer of Brooklyn, had had no mechanical training. She had had a course in Packer, besides being a graduate of the old Highfield Studio of Music. But she has a fund of wifely sympathy, so, with the picture of her water-soaked husband in mind, visited the local library and procured all the available literature on brushes. After six months work, studying and making models, Mrs. Roe finally perfected one that suited the purpose, and had it patented Oct.

the sponge is laid aside and the full force of the stream strikes the object to be washed. It is SO made that there is no danger of scratching the polish of the car or window. It will be called the and Palm Nozzle." The and stand for off and on, as the sponge can be put on or off. as desired.

THE famous old Republican Watchman, long one of the landmarks of the Fourth tate on Long Island, is to be erder of its owners on Nov. 25.

Sealed bids for the purchase of plant, will and real estate are asked. paper was founded by Samuel lips, one of the early sheriffs folk County, nearly 75 years ago, and for many years was owned and edited by the late Henry A. Reeves, under whose proprietorship its name. Republican Watchman, was good deal of a misnomer. for Reeves was a stanch Democrat and the paper was the organ of the Democracy of the East End in particular and the county in general.

Then, 88 now. the paper was and was also what may be termed "close set," for the type was never leaded, and headlines were few. It was principally made up of paragraphs, all jumbled editorial and miscellany, separated only by dashes. At one time the type became very badly worn, and a new dress, as printers term new type, became imperative. Before it was secured, the rival edtors used to refer to the Watchman's type as "worn down to the second expression only old -time printers will recognize, but one very significant in those days.

The paper. however. in spite of its queer makeup, was very widely read, and was influential. Mr. Reeves was a Union College man, and an editor of ability.

He was a vigorous writer and a zealous champion of any cause he 05- poused. He was again and again supervisor of the town of Southeld, despite the fact that it was Republican stronghold, and also served a term in Congress and ole or more in the State Assembly. Some young man with a fondness for news paper work and some knowledge of the mechanical end of the business could, there is no doubt, "make a go" of the Watchman, which has a long and honorable record in the Fourth Estate. We shall watch with interest the future of this old -time paper. Referring to a new home erected TO SELL ELMHURST LOTS The Jere Johnson Jr.

Car loadings for the week ending Nov. 5 showed a big decline, 12.9 percent, from the week before and of 13.8 percent from the peak point of Oct. when the threat of a railroad strike had caused big expansion in mining and shipping of coal. Car loadings for the latest week. in fact, are back where they were in the last week of August.

It is worth noting, however. that big decreases were shown the like weeks of 1920 and 1919. when the declines were respectively 93,000 and 151.000 cars. Following are the figures of car loadings since early in July: The total car loadings since Jan. this year have been 33.683,831 cars, as compared with 38.784.717 in 1920 and 35,677.461 in 1919.
