HOW WE'LL help THE COMMUNITY"

PEGINNING WITH NEXT WEEK there
will be issued from this office THE CORYELL COURIER
newspaper especially designed for the people Of New
Hope and vicinity It will be counterpart of The REC
ORD IN many respects and each paper will contain features
that would not be possible for either paper alone.
For several weeks, in the Fall of 1913 we published
New Hope edition under this same title, but withdrew it
from the field there not for two newspapers
in that territory. The New Hope News having vountar-
lily quit the field after twenty years of existence good
offered against the reenty of the Corye Courier
Never in history has there been studied attempt to
unite all the people of the Coryells Ferry Community into
body having for it's object the development of this sec
ton regardless of geographical political divisions AL
though not egotstca enough believe that we can &C.
compish this result ofhand, singe-handed,
do believe that be helped very materially by news
paper which devotes itself to the interests of the
ty rather than dabblng in the affairs of the whole world
For the citizen who wishes to keep in touch with the
affairs of the community the merchant who wishes to
reach these people thoroughly could heretofore be
done only by using several newspapers the
combination will prove especially attractive.
Having lived on both sides of the Delaware River and
possessing considerable acquaintance throughout the
Coryes Ferry Community the writer is convinced that
re-awakening of mutual interest will profit not only
Lambertve and New Hope but the nearby peoples both
in New Jersey and in Pennsylvania.
The Coryells Ferry Community Association, which
was organized July A. 1914 will be especially boosted
and anything and everything that will add to the welfare
of this section of the country.

PLAN ENLARGEMENT
OF PATENT OFFICE
Building to Be Improved to
Meet Growing Needs of the
Department.

Officials OF the Patent Office are Dusy
trying to determine on a plan OF build
ing which wifi enable more space to be
given to documents stored in the pres
cnt structure at Ninth and = streets
northwest.
An appropriation or $4,000 recently
vas allowed to provide such improve
ments as should be approved by the
officials who know the resent needs OF
the Patent offIce, and committee Is
working on plans TO enlarge the present
building to meet the necessities of the
ccnyested quarters.
II is expected that not later than
July a plan will be adopted and put into
op, ration.
According to officials Of the Patent
Office. more room has been needed for
storing patents which nave accumulat-
ed since the office was founded. Sixty
millions OF documents are stored in the
galleries. In the corridors or in. any
available space that could be pressed
into Use. A constant menace of fire Is
feared. and with tho business of the de-
partment constantly increasing, the en-
largement OF space either by an addi-
tion or in the construction OF extensions
will have to be urged, It is said.
In a recent editorial by Frank II.
Drury. of. Chicago, appearing in Amer
lean Industries" the improvement OF
the present office building Is urged
The editorial says:
when the present building was erect
ed, the Government was examining
only from 5000 TO 500 applications per
annum and issuing from 400 to 5000
patents, but was even then pilng up
a surplus TO the extent of from so 900
to $4,000. Since that time the business
Of the ofYice has grown until the last
annual report of tho commissioner
shows that more thai 1C.tCO applications
for patents were filed IL. 1913 and more
than 37,00O patents issped."
