Firemen Attend Parade.

Members of the Fire Patrol and
the Citizens Band, LambertvilIe,
and from the Eagle Fire company,
of New Hope, attended the fireman's
parade in Perkasie, Pa, on Saturday
afternoon and had a delightful time.
The trip was made by autos, and one
of the first to leave here was the last
to arrive in Perkasie. There is a
raod known as THE eleven corners
road" between Blooming Glen and
Perkasie, and the local parties failed
to make one of the turns, bringing
up on a mud road and completing
their journey on foot. All arrived
home safe, however. New Hope had
a large representation in line under
Chief William L. Bush.

A COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT

Charles A. Malloy, who has done
successful work in Lambertville in
securing signers to tn e petition
government petition, has favored us
with two communications both of
which have more h an ordinary
merit, but which we have been I'M
able to use in full on account of the
time required to set them in type.
In the first communication, Mr..
Malloy sets out number of valuable
points:
l. 1t has been said that good
men could not be secured for the
eosition of commissioner because
they would be obliged to give it
their whole time for $500 per year.
They would not be obliged to give
up their other business or businesses,
and could properly attend to both.
2. Some say that paying $500 to
each of two commissioners and $3.50
to the third would be a waste of
money, but he points out that we
never get more than we pay for, and
that it would be just as reasonable
to try to run business with volun-
teer help to save salaries.
8. Many offices can be eliminated
and much better service given.
In the last communication he says
that commission government is not
claimed be perfect form of govern
ment, but rather better than any
other so far offered, and says, in
part:
/. The proposition is to take the
town out of politics aid put it in
business. Under the present system
of three councilmen from each of
the three wards, five men control
the city, and three men can control
the five; or, in other words, one
ward can run the city, under party
system of government.
2. When a man is elected from
ward he serves the people of that
ward alone, while under the com
mission government plan he serves
the whole city.
3. Under the present system the
citizen has absolutely no control
over his representative, after he has
elected him, but in the new order he
has the power of recall.
4. Commission government will
give each voter equal representation
in the city's affairs, which he does
not have now, under the ward system
of elections.
5. Elections will be held in May
latter the first election) of each
year, when they will be kept clear
of county, state and national affairs.
6. Partyism will be done away
with in these local elections. and it
will not matter whether a man is a
Republican or Democrat, if he is a
good man for the office.
7. The change in date will do
away with an outside candidate
spending lot of money and time to
carry through partisan county or
state ticket, and incidentally electing
a lot of local officers that we do not
want, along with it.
Next week Mr.. Malloy expects to
deal with control that the commission
government will give the people
over their officials, and we hope tc
be able to run it in full.

FOOTBALL OUTLOOK.
Only Four Veterans in Brattleboro High
School Team Vermont Academy
May Not Open.

The possibility of much football in
Brattleboro this fall is not very good.
The schools will open late; Vermont
academy, one of Brattleboro high IS
most natural opponents, may not open
this fall, and the Brattleboro team has
very small nucleus with which to
start belated season.
Richmond, who was elected captain
of the team for this season, saws he
has decided not to return to school and
this leaves only four of last year 8
squad who may be counted upon as the
foundation material upon which ia
build a team in very short time. They
are Moran, Duaton, Betterley and
Thayer, who have played in the line
Coach Diedrich Stolte feels that it is
impossible to get the boys together for
any practice until after the schools
open which will not be until Sept. Is,
at the earliest, and only a very short
time will be given for practice before
the first games on the schedule loom on
the horizon.
Coach Stolte is arranging to use the
ground in the rear of the high school
building for fall sports. There will be
room there for putting the shot
jumping, pole vaulting and some hurd.
ling and the coach feels that the work
he can do with his charges in the fall
will greatly help in the spring work
before the annual track meets.

SCHooLbUSES READY
New Coupe Made Change Neces.
sary 4 Main Street School
Quartersi on Third Floor for New Do
mestic Science Course and Ungraded
School.

Although the public schools did not
open Tuesday the prudential commit
tee had seen to it that all of them were
spick and span in preparation for the be-
ginning of the school year. Paint and
vamish have been used wherever need
ed and new adjustable desks have been
installed in the Chase street school and
in one or two other schools in part
where new desks were needed. 1t is
the policy of the prudential committee
to replace annually such desks as are
no longer suitable with the latest i'm
proved adjustable desks.
In the high school building several
changes have been made on the third
floor. The domestic science course will
be taught in the room which has been
used in part for a physics laboratory,
which means that some close figuring
must be done on the part of the in.
structors to provide for all the classes
in domestic science, which is to include
cooking and sewing as well as lectures
on domestic economy, and still make
some arrangements whereby the phys
les classes may be accommodated either
in that room or in the room used for
the chemistry instruction.
A late model combination coal ana
gas range has been installed, as well as
a new gas range. These with the old
gas range which has been in use there,
provides very satisfactory arrange
ments for cooking. A coal bin, with n
capacity of two tons, has been built on
the third floor in which to store fuel
for the coal range. A model sink has
been installed and lockers have been
built in which the pupils will keep per-
sonal belongings used in connection
with this course. This course will be
open to high school pupils and girls of
the upper grades of the grammer
schools. In the chemistry room a plat
form of two heights has been installed
providing better opportunity for OBJ
servation by a class than has been pos
sible when all were seated on the floor
level.
On the third floor the room that has
been used for the drawing classes has
been remodeled, new and larger win
dows installed the walls and ceiling
covered with metal sheathing and some
waste space between partitions utilized
to increase the size of the room and to
provide n large storage closet.
This room is to be the ungraded room
and is provided with 20 desks of spe.
cial pattern. These are adjustable. 1t
is in this room that children who re-
quire special attention will be taught.
What accommodation will be provid-
ed for the drawing classes has not been
definitely worked out, but like the ac-
commodations for the physics classes
it must be arranged after the schools
are opened and the pupils and instruc-
tors have settled down to work

KAINE's wILDNEss COSTLY.
Greenfield Takes Sunday Game by
Score of 8 to 6 Before Largest Base
Ball Crowd of Season.

Greenfield won Sunday the last of
three games played with Brattleboro at
Island park, before the largest crowd
of the season. The score was 0 to 6.
KANE was directly responsible for the
defeat by his wildness. He punched
his streaks of wildness so effectually
that the visitors gathered four runs in
the third inning, three in the seventh
and two more in the ninth. After
Brattleboro tied the score in the fourth
Robbins was taken out and Pfersick, n
left handler, was substituted He was
too much for the home team, as well
as for his own catcher, and was forced
to handicap himself severely in order
to be sure of any support behind the
bat. March and Angler were the only
players who could do anything with his
delivery, each getting two hard hits,
one of March s being double to

Afternoon Game.

The afternoon game was much more
of ball game than the morning affair
and Brattleboro won by a score of 9
to 4. For three innings it was a pref
ty pitchers battle and then Derosier
went to pieces in the fourth. Three
passes, two passed balls, an error by
Maynard, three singles and a double
scored six runs and settled the game.
Blake let down after that but always
held the game safe. Derosier featured
the fielding department of the game
with wonderful running one-hand
catch of low pop bunt which he
turned into a double play by tossing to
Conway. Graves made pretty one
hand stab of a slow grounder on the
base line and got his man at first. The
