THE MODERN FARMER.

"Tupper seems to be dazed since he
came back from the country"
Yes; Tupper went out to spend a
month with an old farmer whom he
expected to wear jeans and talk
dialect"
"Well?
1.-THE old farmer met Upper at the
station in a touring car, remarked as
they sped along that the adjacent land
scape would have gladdened the heart
Of Corot and declared he thought De
Maupassant the prince of story telers.
Poor Upper went up in the air and he
hasn't come down SINCE"

SUMMONED.

-
When a fellow keeps a-yawning
And the hookworms have him fast,
And the clock ticks like a sluggard
Till the weary day is past;
And his heart is well-ngh breaking
From the strain attached to work,
And he's sick and tired of toiling
And is in a mood to shirk;
When a fellow fumes and worries.
And complains and kicks his chair,
And considers out the window
With a most distracted air;
And keeps drumming with his fingers
And can't fix his mind at ALL
It's a sign the fish are biting
And he hears the river call!

WHAT A BUSINESS LEAGUE CAN DO

1t may not be known that the ac-
tlyltles of our Business League is en-.
titled to direct credit for the fact that
ten new families have moved into our
town during the past year, and that
about thirty men are employed who
would not otherwise be employed here
and are drawing fair wages. Whether
this result is good for the town need
not be a question. If such work could
be accomplished every year or two
then the probabilities are that all
business interests would see the di-
rect effect, and there would be no
question as to whether all business
interests are getting their share of the
benefit. If ten families were to move
out of town and thirty men put ont of
work the effect would he noticeable
very quickly.
Besides this kind of work that can
be done Business League if proper
ly encouraged can advertise the
advantages OF which Lambertyile
certainly has many, particularly as a
place of residence for health, pleasure
and comfort. There are improvements
which such an organization ought to
be able to encourage. The question
is whether our citizens are going to
help make such an orgaization and
make 1t successful, or are they not
1t is generally understood that all
of the present members of the execu-
tive committee of the league will be
glad to retire from their positions, aud
there will be an opportunity for those
who have better plans to propose, or
desire to take pa t or can suggest
those who will take part to be heard.
The meeting to be held at the Conn
ell room on Tuesday evening, Febru-
airy 22nd. is for the purpose of hear
ing reports and leaving plans for fn-
ture work. A large number of citizens
shonld attend.

point that inasmuch as the office of

for expenses not incurred in the or
binary way, the Committee had failed
to make any recommendations as to
the payment or nonpayment of the
bill. The City Solicitor was called
upon for some information, and he
gave it as his opinion that the bill
should be paid. Mr.. Fishers motion
that the bill be paid was carried by
vote of to B.

TEACHERS TENURE OF SERVICE ACT

me following is the ruling under tne
Teachers Tenure of Service Act:
Any teacher, principal or supervis.
ing principal who was employed in
the same district for the three years
next preceding Sept. l, 1909, and is
employed for the current school year,
is under the protection of the "Teach-
ers' Tenure of Service Act. =
Any teacher, principal or supervis-
ing principal holding, under written
contract, position which terminates
at the expiration of three years of ser
vice, does not come under the protect
ton of said act unless he shall teach
in the same district during the ensuing
school year.
Any teacher, principal or supervis-
ing principal employed without defin-
ite term, under rules adopted by the
board of education is not protected by
the said act, if he shall be dismissed
at the end of the first three years OF
consecutive service.
Any teacher principal or supervis
ing principal holding contract made
prior to and extending beyond Sept. !,
1909, and completing either three OIL
more than three consecutive years OF
service in the district does not secure
tenure of service during good behavior
and efficiency unless he is re-employed
or is permitted to continue in the ser.
vice of said district after the expira-
ton of said contract
The fact that during the said proba-
tionary period a person may have
served in more than one of the posi-
tons designated in the act does not
affect his rights under such an act.
The protection secured under the
said act covers only tenure of service
during good behavior and efficiency,
and immunity from reduction of eth
or salary or position. A board of edu-
cation, by majority vote of the whole
number of its members, may transfer
any teacher, principal or supervising

We have to record the death, on
Saturday, February 9Th, 1910, of Miss
Mary Frances Torbert, at her resi-
dence on Main and Bridge streets,
where the funeral services were con-
Quoted, on Tuesday, the Sth inst, by
Rev.. John A. Carr, Rector Of st. An

Hill, near New Hope, Pa.
Miss Torbert was long time and
we'll known resident of New Hope and

erous representatives, in this vicinity,
of the Coryell family. Her father was
Col. Simpson Torbert, Resident En-
gineer of the White Water Canal, at
the time of his death, at Harrison,
Indiana, at which place Miss Torbert
was born.
Her mother was Mary Ellen, daugh-
ter of Lewis S. Coryell, one of New
Hopes most distinguished citizens.
with whom she resided for some years
after the death Of Col. Torbert, until
she became the second wife of DR..
Samuel Lilly, the well known physi-

Miss Torbert's maternal grandfather
was a great grand son of Emanuel
Coryell, who, coming to this locality
in 1882, established the ferry in the

is now Lambertville its early name OF
Coryell's Ferry.
Miss Torbert will be greatly missed

numerous deeds OF sympathy and
kindness had endeared her.
