 At the door a tall lady in white apron stopped them and commanded q more leisurely entrance. She suggested whispers and tip-toe and something about cunning little mice. She also called the baby the darling" in a way that grated on Lewis. She was evl- dently used to making people nina, though. and the children followed her' instructions carefully as they pushed open the door and peeped In,

Neither did he see both ladies smile at each other as if well pleased at something.
 May I hold the little new sister? Isn't she darling? Lewis wants to see if she's worth--'
 Shut up, you,' commanded Lewis in pantomime, and Louise had the good sense to do so Lewis continued to gaze as if fascinated.
 Now" commanded the lady in the white apron, you children must run along or you will tire your mother and disturb the baby" and she pushed Louise towards the door.
 But what does my little boy say?" asked mother. Does he like the little new sister,"
 Lewis looked at his mother earnestly a moment then at the baby, then he pointed to himself.

sENslTIvENEss OF WHEAT.

It is surprising how quickly flour took rise on the declaration of war in every local market It went up from Is to p cents a barrel the first day, and now the optimistic wheat speculators tell us that wheat will probably go to s1.50 a bushel
 To make dear wheat there is an organized movement being made on the part of the farmers of Kansas to hold back a part of the crop to raise the price
 The fact is the price of wheat is no longer fixed in New York. but in London, and the competition is a world competition, not merely an American competition. The wheat of this country has to enter into conpe- dtion with that of the wheat growers of Russia, Egypt and other countries, So the Kansas farmers should take heed lest they lose. The holding back of I93,o00,000 bushels of wheat is not sure to produce the effect they desire.
 The local dealers everywhere have a very tender touch for a rise, but when there is a drop in value they have to take som time to realize 1t.
 It is probable prices will be feverish for a little while

lT- -Els eoop To HAVE A AosaY.

If everybody realized the value of having "a hobby there would be more and more enjoyment In the world. To be wholly devoted to at taining the material rewards for ap-. plication and industry does not make an extremely interesting individual.
 We are directed in youth to have a purpose in life; but there Is no pur- pose broad enough to cover the short est life unless it is the aim to acquire all the knowledge possible, and at the same time fail not to gather all the wholesome enjoyments of existence.
 A one-ideaed man is as much of a bore or crank as the most indolent rider of hobby-one who never gets deep enough into any subject to make it interesting to himself, or himself interesting to others.
 To have a hobby person must de- vote himself to some special study or sport or game or thing which has in it both work and pleasure; and it is not saving too much for a hobby to aver that because of 8 hobby some men have had brought to their minds the joy in work which produces the skilled workmen in every calling in life
 Collecting birds or insects or row- CTS. coins, postage stamps, or agates, sea sands, sea shells or seaweeds, woods, rocks or colored earths is a means of enjoyment and of discover ing wonderful natural facts.
 A hobby is a diversion and a diver sion leads some people to better thought and others it keeps from vice.

 In this age of the world hospitals for the insane are not looked upon wholly as places of confinement for ii- curable mental diseases, and those who are dangerous to be at large; but rather as sanatoriums for nervous in- valids who have had breakdowns from varIous causes; and they find that many cases, if taken in time. can be permanently cured
 All medical authorities agree that the lest treatment for nervous troubles is the out of door life-the getting back to mother nature.

MERCHANTS, DAY.

While Merchants week means six long days of toll, Merchants day stands for one brief day of pleasure and poor indeed is the merchant who feels he cannot afford to take it and find all the enjoyment there is in it for himself and his clerks and his family.
 Only the dull are likely to be em- barrassed by the closing of the stores, for every live citizen is not only aware that they will be closed to business and conscious of the fact that the business world needs more of them.
 Money grubbing 312 days in the year may be profitable and satisfying and if money gave all the zest to life nothing would be lost, but 1t doesn't Every human being is benefited by freedom from the daily mol of life and the fresh air. and sports and the giIrgle of play of every sort. The mer- chants need the day off and they have earned it. and only the supremely sell hsfi will find fault with any incon- venience which may arise from closed stores

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS

People do not dislike the practice Of teetotalism, says MT. Chesterton; It is the theory they object to. Neither oo they dislike either vegetables or vegetarians.
 What is resented" he goes on to say, lis the religious atmosphere that goes with teetotalism. What Is re- sented is the ethical atmosphere that goes with vegetarianism."
 What men resist" he says again, in one of his whimsical paradoxes. what men resist, in short, in all these cases is not the moral conduct, but the morality Nothing can be immoral except morality"
 1 am one of those who take Gilbert Chesterton seriously. He cannot focI me with the humor with which he coats his pills of wisdom so as to get the crowd to swallow them while laughing. He is not a literary vaude- william. He is one of the most sane philosophers of our day.
 In the above quoted sentence he hits the nall squarely on the head. Morals are the salvation of men. Morality, on the other hand. has been a chief factor in making men immoral.

 The trouble Is that when you make an ISM you squeeze all the humanity out of the thing and get purely intellectual product, a sect, cult. or system, a non-human affair: and what ceases to be human easily becomes diabolical upon occasion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Consolation and Suggestion.

MT Editor: The hay fever will soon take the place of the war fever; and it may be now more pleasant for one to think of his sneezin' than his cof- fin.
 If the goldenrod produces the hay fever, it should be turned under the plowshare; and if the spear meant for medicine produces the war fever, 1t should be cut down by the pruning hook.
 After that, the sword should pc beaten into plowshare and the spear into a pruning hook.
 Eventually, so mote it be.

Registry ia Bucks.

Nearly 5000 voters in Bucks
county have failed to enroll and
have thereby deprived themselves
of the privilege Of participating in
the spring primaries. The exact
number is 1928, but that is 637 less
than at the time of the previous en-
rollment.
The enrolment shows a good
sized gain for the Republican party
and for the Democratic party, but
losses for the Washington, Socialist
and Prohibition parties.
Figures of the enrolment are as
follows: Republicans, 6547; Demo-
Gratis, 5343; Washington, IT'S; Pro-
gressive and Bull Moose, 80; Social
list, co. Prohibition, 33; Unclassifed,
81; not enrolled 1928: total, 20, 1888.

The Mexican Trouble.

1t is too early to commend or con-
denim President Wilson for the pre-
sent state Of affairs in Mexico.
Every good American citizen will
hope that the trouble may be I'M
tangled without further bloodshed,
and all will hope that the trouble
may be settled to stay settled.
The mere question of saluting
the flag some particular way is not
important, and we can hardly be-
lieve that President Wilson used
that as anything more than tenn
porary excuse to cover greater and
more dangerous matters.

avoided, all we'll and good.

that it is talked about too

n that town:
1.-THE threatened drought
among the booze-fghters
here this summer has re-
vived the talk of organizing
a company to run pipe
line to either High Bridge
or Annandale and have
hydrants at intervals in
town for the relief of the
thirsty. The present system
of thanking" it in is most
unsatisfactory on either a
very cold or very hot day.
One of the local steamers
was noted coming down
the pike last Friday noon
with a full cargo on. In
the afternoon he found it
necessary to do a little pan
handling to finance another
expedition. With a pipe
line and system of meters
all this time could be
saved"
A general jag-list for the whole
county would not appear to be
amiss.

AS 1t Is Elsewhere.

Some of those dear souls who
have never been far from home,
but still feel quite certain that what
ever we may happen to possess in
Lambertville is the poorest ever,
will do we'll to read the following
item from the Hopewell Herald:
There should be some way
to compel the Public Ser
vice Electric Company to
put their lines in such
shape that it's patrons would
receive continuous service
and not be in darkness when
ever the wind blows strong
er than a gentle zephyr, or
an ordinary severe storm
visits US. Their franchise
also calls for all poles to be
painted, which has never
been done.
1t should be borne in mind that
the company operating in Hopewell
is the Public Service Corporation.
The Lambertville Heat, Light &
Power Company has plenty of defects
but alongside most of the other
towns systems it appears like an

A dog looks up to man as

pathetic when we think how many

emancipate himself from his affili-
alton with the beasts.

Kindness to Dumb Animals.

There's something woefully lack
mo in the Christian world so long
as kindness to dumb animals is not
taught in the public schools and
made a part of the discourse from
the church pulpit.
Rarely, indeed, do you find per-
son cruel to animals who is not also
cruel to persons-if they dare be,
and there shouldn't be any question
as to a cruel persons utter lack OF
Christianity. No real Christian ever
was purposeiy cruel to dumb beasts.

Vile Record office is more closely
read than "Our Dumb Animals, "
published at Boston, Massachusetts,
and we only regret that it is not

current issue that will give an idea
of its ennobling character:
