A PARADISE FOR
AMBITIOUS WOMEN

There is many a young wife in
the older States who hates to see
her clever husband lost in a horde
of great lights, but sees no possible
chance for him to become influential
without a good-sized income, pop
ular howl or a stroke of Fate.
Florida is just the place for this
ambitious woman who need not live
five years longer to see her husband
a man of influence II he picks out
the right community in Florida, and
there is a big bunch of right ones
from which to select. Five years is
long limit to place on his rise.
The average new settler and most of
the older ones are too busy to have
time to go into public affairs. Most
of the newcomers are too busy max
ing a living for the family to inter
est themselves especially in public
affairs. So that the man who de-
cides to become an influential man
and goes at it with intelligence has
a good chance of making good in
brief time. For fact out of four
candidates for mayoralty in two
cities this election only one of the
four had been in the State over three
years. One man put on a ticket for
chief OF police almost cried over it,
didn't want it, wouldn't have It.
He didn't get it, by the way, but
anyway he had soine of the local
fame. Then, too, many of the small
towns need men who are familiar
with financing meth ods. In many
cases bond issues are to be handled.
There are all sorts of public move
afoot needing mon who can
lead and will do so. who know how
to organize any old thing the com
munity needs. To be sure, these
things require hours and days some
times of personal effort which not
every man is in a position to donate
to the public welfare. But a lot of !
things are possible to young man
who likes public affairs and has an
wife.
No advertisements mention this.

REASONS WITH A
PUNCH IN THEM

We are much impressed with the
robust common sense and clear reas-
oning of a leading article in the
Orange County Citizen discussing
the senatorial campaign in this
| State. We should be glad to re-
produce the entire article, for every
sentence in it is virile, clear-cut and
has the punch in it, as the boxers
say of the telling blow, but it will
be enough to quote the following &
bunch of unanswerable reasons why
Senator Fletcher should be re-
elected:
1--WE supported Senator Fletcher
in his first canvas. He was progress
sive' enough for us then and we fail
to note any representative from
Florida who, aside from talk, is any
more progressive. AS the Orange
County Citizen stood first and last
for Wilson during the presidential
primary when most OF it's State con
tcmpories stood against him, and
since he was the avoWed 'progres
sive,' and as many State papers
hoWled down w. j. Bryan, another
avowed progressive whom the
Citizen stood by through thick and
thin, we are not worrying over-much
as to the progress part of the propo-
sition. One or two facts are appar-
ent: Senator Fletcher is serving his
first term. 1t is not at all usual for
Florida to lay aside United States
Senator after but single term.
Senator Fletcher holds important
positions. 1t would be folly in this
Democratic a?e to put raw and I'M
tried man in his place and expect !
him to at once occupy an important |
position. 1T is a time for some no
tice to be taken of Florida. The !,
State needs all the strength it can |
secure at this juncture for the sake |
OF development. It W illrequire an
exceptionally apt man, and an un-
usually strang man to fill Fletcher's
shoes That man has not yet ap-
peared on the horizon :"

Miss Margaret Kennedy to Tell a
Lot of Good Things About
the Suffrage Work.
SHE Is NOTED AS A SPEAKER

The local suffragists are making
great preparations for the address
which will be made on the corner of
Bridge and Union Streets, on Satur-
day evening at o'clock, by Miss
Margaret Kennedy.
She is a graduate of Neff College,
Philadelphia, where she took the de-
gree of bachelor of Interpretation
through her art of speaking we'll in
public. She is a lecturer and teacher,
which vocation she has followed for
five years past, and has given many
recitals in Philadelphia and sur
rounding places. She once appeared
in this city, in a recital at st John S
hall.
AS means of reaching the men
of the city, and especially the young
men, more appropriate place than
the corner by the Lambertville Bank
could not well have been chosen, as
it is favorite standing place on
Saturday evenings. 1t is expected
that many of the fair sex will be
out to hear Miss Kennedy, too.

There has been no heavy rain to

and they are getting low. The
water is drawn from the wooded
lands on the north side of the Sour

city limits to the south east.

The family cat leaped overheard
into the alley.
A neighbours dog barked.
One of the city police heard the
barking and some of the neighbours
voices, so he went into the alley to
see what was on the go. Lighting
a match he espied the cat blinking
at him, so returned to his beat and
forgot the occurrence until the re-
ports came out the next morning.
All the people are sleeping better
now, since the excitement has been

Deer Seen Near This City.

With deer stalking in the woods
just beyond the city limits, our town
is beginning to take on the aspect
of the Wild and Woolly West.
Twice with week deer have been
reported seen along the mountain
south of this city, and few days
ago some of the passengers on the
11.5o train saw one of the animals
along the edge of the woods as they
were approaching Belmont curve.
Two deer were reported in the
vicinity of Sergeantsville last week,
and it is believed they have all come
down from Warren County, where
they are plentiful.
The underground on Goat Hill is
so thick that several deer might hide
there for a time without being dis
covered.

More Buttercups were shown at

ception of White Leghorns,
The Buttercups are comparatively
a new breed, which is coming into
favor on account of the large num-

The hens are somewhat heavier than

combs which are seldom frosted

$4,000 Loss in
BIG BARN FIRE
Great Structure on Paxson Farm at
Buckingham Destroyed in
Early Evening.
LOCAL FIREMEN WERE THERE

Seldom has so much interest been
manifested in farm fires as in the
two that occurred within forty-eight
hours of each other, last week, at
Stacy S. Johnson's and the Paxson
farm.
Crowds visited the None-Such
Farm, belonging to the Judge Pax
son estate at Buckingham last Thurs
day, and when the Record editor
was there, eight automobiles, a dozen
wagons and seventy-fve or more
people came within a half hour to
view the ruins.
The Paxson barn was the largest
in this section of the country, and
the total loss will run about $50, 900,
partially covered by insurance.
1t had accommodations for one
hundred head of cattle and fifteen
horses, besides the various farm ma
chinery and the products of the 230-
acre farm surrounding it.
Seven horses were burned, the
rush of the flames being so swift
that the animals could not be reach
ed, but a number of COWS were in
the adjoining yard and were released
before the fire reached them.
Fifty or more COWS were in the
meadow on the lower end of the
farm, and had it been later in the
season they would doubtless have
all been in their stalls, and it is the
opinion of those who were first at
the fire that they could not have
been saved. The barn was equipped
with every convenience in the way
of machinery, with steam boilers
and engines to drive it.
The large water tank, filled with
water was burned, excepting the
bottom, which remains in place, bad
ly charred.
The boiler Immediately under the
tank was not badly injured and was
fired up Thursday afternoon to
pump water for the building and
the cattle.
A corps of plumbers were upon
the ground and temporary pipes
were laid direct from the pump to
the wagon house, where connections
were made with the other mains.
The large mansion house, the
home of the head farmer, Henry
Walton, and several tenant houses
on the place, all depend upon this
supply.
The fire was first discovered by
young daughter of Mr.. Walton's,
but in the minute or two required
for him to reach the stables, the
