CANNING FACTORY And
BRICK PLANT BOTH new
Other Industries Have Made improvements to Both
Buildings and Equipments, and Private Citizens
Have Beat Their Best Previous Records.

The first new industry to come into the
Coryells Ferry Community in 1913 was the
Morris Canning Company, which took the
old Lambertville Spoke Mill and converted
it into modern and sanitary structure
This company has already paid thous-
ands of dollars to the farmers of this COM
munity; it has paid thousands of dollars to
the men and women of this community that
they otherwise would not have received. 1t
expects to pay tens of thousands more
The second industry to come into the
CoryelPs Ferry Community was the New
Hope Vitrifed Brick Company, which loca-
ted at Hufnagle station Tin New Hope bor-
ough), where one of the largest shale de-
posits in the world offers itself for develop
ment.
Within the first sixty days of its existence
several thousand dollars have been paid for
labor and materials; and this is just the be-
ginning.
All the regular industries have run on
practically full time despite business uncer-
tainties.
The Universal Paper Bag Company, of
New Hope, made the largest single expend-
iture for improvements---about $4,000, or
more than S12 for every man, woman and
child in New Hope and Lambertville!

A SHINE IN CONsTANTlN0PLE.
Half an Hours Hard Labor, and Then
It Costs only Cents.

Half an Hours Hard Labor, and Then
it Costs only 2 Cents.
'Lustra Boyadjil Lustra Boy
adjiw is the cry Of the Constantine
pie bootbIack as he sits in the shade
Of the Yeni Djami mosque. "Guzel
boya cffendim" Ia good shine, siD,
he cries as you catch his eye and
prepare to try your luck. The shoe
box on which you place your foot is
a work of art. 1t is adorned with
extravagant designs in pressed sill
yer and mother-of-pearl. A case
about four feet high, with an orna-
mental clock on top, stands at his
right hand side. 1t is filled with
bottles of different polishes in vari-
GUS hues.
With deft celerity Achmet takes
out a bottle of benzine and care
| fully removes stains from your tan
shoes. Next he washes your shoes
with soapy lather to remove the
grease. While he fans them to
hasten the drying Achmet never
fails to compliment you on the ex-
cellent quality Of your shoes, even
if they are in the last stage of d.
lapidation.
1t is now time for the first polish.
Out comes another bottle, and the
liquid is applied. With his brushes
the bootblack works, gaining speed
as the shoes gain luster Another
polish in paste form is rubbed care
fully into the leather with the tips
of the fingers. A spot of sunlight
strikes your shoes. That will never
do-the paste will dry too quickly.
An umbrella shade is adjusted and
the polishing continued, only this
time with silk cloth.
You are growing inpatient.
Twenty minutes have passed. "1ki
takiga effendim" 1.-TWO minutes, sir).
Achmet says as he notices your i'm
patience. He is now rubbing wax
on the polish which has already daz-
zled you. "What is that for?" you
ask. "To preserve the luster," is
the answer. The final rub with the
silk cloth is over. You are more
than satisfied. But, no. AS you take
your foot away Achmet produces a
bottle of varnish and while your
hand goes into your pocket for
change applies it to the heels and
edges of the soles.
"How much ?" you ask. "Yirmi
para" z cents). You are astonish-
ed. Two cents for a half hours
hard work. 1t is impossible. But
that is all he cares to charge, and
he expects no tip. You hand him
a plaster (about 5 cents), the bal
ance as "baksheesh." He is delight
ed and wishes you all the joys that
Allah can give you on this earth
and in the world to come.-New

Desert Plants.

Plants Of the desert, as a rule,
possess few leaves, the cactus, for
instance, being mostly spines. There
is very good reason for the lack
Of leaves in desert plants. The OBJ
iect is to check the TRANSPORTATION
of moisture by offering as small a
surf@e as possible to the dry air.
For the same reason the roots of
desert plants usually run deep into
the soil so that they can suck up all
the available moisture. In some
instances the leaves assume a verti-
cal position and thus avoid the di-
rect rays of the burning desert sun.
On the other hand, the leaves of
trees in very wet countries are pro
vided with points-such as the ma
ple-from which the rain drops off.
Were the leaves fatter the rain
would collect and make them rot.

Union Pacific was the feature of the days dealings. In the fore part of the session it was the strongest of the favOrite StockS,.- rising two points. There was said to be some buyino of this stock on the expectation that the supreme court would sanction the dis tribution plan. and the general market moved up fractionally, Reading and Northern Pacific showing considerable strength. Some time before the su- preme courts ruling was announced, Union Pacific, which depressed 1t sharply, but after brief interval of unsettlement the market grew steadier.
 Hardly had the effect of this drive worn off when word came of the courts decision, and Union Pacific once more slumped quickly. falling more than four points below the high nrice of the day Traders were uncertain as to the ultimate effects of the de- cision by the court and heSitated to take definite stand, but a S the day drew toward the close stocks were sold more heavily, and the low prices of the session were reached.

THE COLOR LINE.
It's Drawn So Closely Now Black Men
 Can't Get Under.

By so decisiveIy defeating Sam Mo
 Vey in Australia Sam Langford has
 established his title to consideration as candidate for championship hon in sight who would have 8 Iook-in with Jack Johnson. But there is. not much prospect for a meeting between them, except in Australia, and, ac- cording to reports from there. that country Is closed to the big Texan. It is possible that Langford will re- turn to America and try to get on matches with some of the big white fnent. It is rather surprising how public opinion will change in d short time.
 When Langford left this country, with the followers of boxing, and there would have been little difficulty in get ting matches for him if men good enough to fight him could be found. Since he went away a number of big white men have come to the front, but in that same time there has arisen a feeling in sporting circles that the color line should be drawn in ring affairs. Boxing promoters no longer care to match white and black men in their clubs. The New York box inf commission has set it's face against such contests and will not permit in in Philadelphia started out with that announcement. Gradually all over the country the same sort of thing is com- ing into vogue. Jack Johnson is part 1y responsible for this state of af- fairs but not entirely, for the feeling has been growing for some years against letting black men meet white men in glove contests. This has been the custom for years in the south, and it has spread gradually all over the land. One of the conditions of the deed of gift of the belt offered by Tom McCarey of Los Angeles for heavyweight competition is that only white men shall be allowed to con- test for it. Hence when Langford comes back to America he will find that his field of iendeavor will be great 1y limited. He will be compelled to fight men of his own race, for it is not likely that he will be able to ar range matches with any. big white men, as most of the latter have fallen in with the proposition of drawing the color line.

Makers of AInanacs.

The world knows very little of it's benefactors. What, for instance, do you know of Whitaker, whose almanac has Just made its annual appearance? Jo- seph Whitaker was born in 1920 and began business on his own account as a theological publisher about 1850. The famous almanac, which commenced in 1863. is not the only publication of his that is still going strong, for he was also the founder of The Bookseller and the Penny Post, the first penny monthly church magazine, which still continues in it's original form. Whita- ker was one of the first English men to enter Paris after the siege, be- ing intrusted with the distribution of a relief fund for Paris booksellers.
 Joseph Whitaker had some eminent predecessors in the art of almanac making. John Evelyn, for instance, was responsible for the first Garden CTS Almanac. published in 1864, and containing at least one sage couseL

4s STRIKES IN. THIS
 STATE IN 13 MONTHS.
State Bureau Reports That 21 Were
 Successful and 20 Failed.

During a period of 13 months end ing Nov. 30, 1912. there were 4S strikes in Connecticut, according to the b1en- niaI report of the Connecticut bureau of labor statistics just made public. The report says that classifying by occupations the persons involved it is found that the textile workers lead in number with 4.621. metal trades workers 979. building trades 725. la borers 614. papermakers 260, cigar makers PAS. journeymen tailors and helpers 19O, hat sizer~ 100, piano mak- CTS 100. walters S2. printers 46 buffers 42, brewery workers 12. team drivers s. The total number involved was 8,027, and 72,757 days work was lost pending settlement. Investigation as to the results of the strikes showed ful, partially successful and not settled when the report closed. Among those having the largest number of persons idle and the greatest number reported were the silk Weavers of the WindhaIn SilE company, Willimantic; the weavers at the French River Tex tile company, MechaniGsville, and the journeynlen plumbers in New Haven.
 Referring to trade agreement, the report says that '&fn Connecticut there is found to exist more than 500 trade unions of the American Federation of banner of the Industrial Workers of the World. On the other hand, is found powerful and well organized associations of manufacturers, formed for the protection of their interests and working in opposition to the labor unions. This condition involves so many vast and important interests that if allowed to exist without intel lfgent and fair minded consideration being given to both sides. then the prospects for continuance of indus trial war seems inevitable. In Con necticut among 2G4 trade unions in vestigated at this time, 103 are found to have working agreements in force between the members and their em- ployers and a study of the strike re- ports reveals the fact that while 4S strikes occurred, B of them, or 67 per cent, began where no organization was found to exist One of the principal features of the trade agreement is the settlement of all difficulties by arpitra- ton with no suspension of work pend- ing a settlement and notwithstanding the fact that the national association of manufa cturers had adopted a reso- luton declaring against agreements made with organized labor, I believe them to be practical and recommend their adoption, feeling certain that from among the many now on file in this bureau suitable ones can be found applicable to our various industries"
 In the year 1911, the report says, there were 515 labor organizations in the state. Little change in numbers occurred in the year following, there being 495 local and 22 district organ izations, making a, total of 517.
