DIR. J. E. SCOTT

The Coryell's Ferry Community
idea originated in the fertile brain
of DIR. j. E. Scott, the well-known
New Hope physician.
The entire country within seven
miles of Lambertville-New Hope
was known as the Coryell's Ferry
Community in Revolutionary War
days, and within these limits hap
pened things that made American
history, and generated thoughts
that have changed the maps of the
world.
Last Summer when New Hope
held the most successful of the 1O2
Chautauquas, it was
COryell's the Coryell's Ferry
Ferry idea caught the popu-
Chautauqua lar fancy, and brought
New Hope and Lam
bertville closer together, both COM
mercially and socially, than ever be-
fore.
DR.. Scott was the backbone of
the Chautauqua movement, just as
he has worked for the success of
everything else that would tend to
promote the welfare of New Hope
borough. His name will be written
large in future history, and the
photographer will add and we'll

that should bind together the Cory

But few people know just how
hard Mr.. Baldwin has worked to
extend the lines out into the coun-
try from the Lambertville exchange,
nor the many additional improve
ments he has under way.
Just stray few people are fight
ing the Bell Phone and the Coryell's

defects of the phone service will be
relieved at an early day, and the
Community idea has cine to stay.

Consumers VIII Get no Advantage
From the New Free.Trade
Tariff Legislation.

Washington Post: Mr.. and Mrs.
Consumer throughout the country
doubtless will scrutinize their accounts
with unwonted care from this time
forward, seeking to find first traces OF
the reduction in the cost of living
which was to follow the passage of the
tariff bill. The long desired reduction,
IL it is to put in an appearance at all,
ought to poke it's head around the cor
Ter pretty soon, but SO far there has
heen no indication of its appearance.
Statements that the new tariff bill
will free business are not likely to
lessen the zeal with which the CON
sumers will search for what was prom
issed by the Democratic party--a reduc-
ton in the cost of living. Nor will 1t
satisfy the people to find that wages
are being reduced more rapidly than
the cost of li-ing.
According to Democratic maya.
zine, while the tariff bill was still I'M
DER discussion the American Wooden
Co. announced its prices for the
spring of 1914, and 'stbey showed an
average decrease of from 10 to 1919
per cent from the prices OF 1919
The same Democratic MAGAZINE adds
Such announcements, however, are
likely to raise false hopes of very
much cheaper clothing. The day that
these reduce prices We're announced

explained that the reduction which
they provided in the cost OF the cloth
Soing into an average suit of clothes
would be about forty cents, and he
added that the increase in the cost OF
labor would more than offset that"
In other words, 1t is frankly admit
ted that the people who expected re-
auctions in the cost of living to fol-
low the tariff will be disappointed, the
reason being that the cost Of raw ma.
terial is quite insignificant when com
lpared with the cost Of labor and over.
head expenses in the making up OF
garments.
Thus, with the tariff bill PASSED. we
are in the safe position that we were
before, with the exception that a con
siderable portion Of the profits OF
manufacturing will be transferred to
Europe. with consequent curtail
ment Of production, and hence chr
tailment of employment ana wages
