turning to her young man, he said:
you've got mighty good girl, and
she'll make you a mighty good wife,
The young man, instead Of looking
disgrunted, seemed pleased. He was
not much of a talker, and smile was
his only response to the congratula-
tions. 1t is quite likely he felt CRATE
full to the bird for relieving him of
making proposal.
Mrs. Harkaway hung back for a
time not pretending that she had mis-
taken the parrots voice for that of the
lovers; but, seeing that the young man
was disposed to avail himself Of the
birds proposal, she went to Maria and
offered her congratulations.

RESTORED TO HEALTH

Holiday Messengers Bring Happiness te

Holiday Messengers Bring Happiness to
Homes Burdsned With Tubsrculssis.
Deserted by her husband, suffering
from tuberculosis in double form and
supporting herself and young boy by
her needle, the Anti-Tuberculosis As
sociation In a Western city found an
unfortunate consumptive. living In one
room with two little beds-one for her
self and one for her boy. Everything
was clean; but, oh, so poor!
That was year ago.
This morning she took q train for
the state sanitor1um, where she will
have chance to get well, while her
boy is being cared for by the Anti
Tuberculosis Association with funds
derived from the Red Cross Seal Sale.
Here Is the story Of another family
where happiness and health were
brought through the medium Of Red
Cross Seals:
Tuberculosis had made heavy de.
mands upon the family, and the in.
come had entirely stopped for several
months. It was inevitable that they
should run into debt for grocery bills
as well as the rent. With such worry,
anxiety and depression it Is not al
ways easy to find silver lining in
the clouds. The condition was recog.
nized, however, by the visiting nurse.
and the sick father was sent to hos
pital, and proper care was provided
for the others. Relief was also OBJ.
tained, and now both rent bills and
grocery bills are being gradually lessen.
ed each week. Each member of the
family has had nursing care for some
ailment or other.
Every Red Cross Seal sold helps to
better conditions like these.

HOW RED CROSS SEAL
IDEA CAME INTO BEING
Originating In Norway, Method Was
Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago.

Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago.
Over $3,2JO,O0O has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals In the last
eight years, and yet many people who
will buy these holiday stickers at this
ninth annual sale do not know how
this idea originated.
While Red Cross Seals really date
back to the Civil War when Charity
Stamps" Were first used, the first cam
paign to sell holiday stickers for the
tuberculosis fight was only nine years
ago in Delaware. Miss Emily 2. Bis
sell Of Wilmington read an article by
Jacob Riis describing stamps used for
tuberculosis work in Norway, and she
conceived the idea Of similar plan
here. Single handed, she launched a
sale which resulted in $1,000 clear
money. When Miss Rissell tried to
convince the American Red Cross that
this idea should be made national as q
peace activity Of that society, she met
with opposition, but finally persuaded
. the authorities, with the result that on
an investment Of few hundred dol
lars $135,OOO worth Of Seals was sold
in 1908 and the great national cam.
paign was launched. Since then the
sale has gone forward by leaps and
bounds, until now the Red Cross Seal
is an institution in the United States,
and offers to every one a chance to
help in the peoples fight against the
peoples disease. Last year over 76,-
100000 Seals were sold, and this year
the American Red Cross and The Ma.
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis, who con-
duct the sale, are out for 100000, 900
sale or 81 100000 for the tuberculosis

West Amwell Road Plans
PENNSYLVANIA

The state and larger municipal
ties are not doing all the good road
work as West Amwell township is
making a start in this direction,
the first move of which was made
Tuesday. The highway leading from
Mount Airy to High Valley will be
Strengthened, improved, and a new
bridge built across a branch of the
Alexauken creek. The bridge is a
county job, but a piece of land has
been purchased from William
Sweazey for a nominal sum, and the
two sharp turns will be reduced to
practically straight line at that
point.
Edward B. Holcombe, another
farmer and property owner, has
offered to donate three parcels of
land to aid in reducing the curvature
of this road. Starting down the hill
from Mount Airy the whole road
will be moved over onto land now
owned by Mr.. Holcombe, at the
sharp curve, and the entire hill will
be resurfaced and put into good
condition.

Turnpike May be Free.

The many motorists as well as
other drivers who have occasion to
use the turnpike from New Hope to
Buckingham are rejoicing over the
news from Doylestown that it is
likely to be freed very shortly, pos
sibly within few weeks.
Deputy Highway Commissioner
Joseph w. Hunter had conference
with theBucks county commissioners
a day or two ago, and it is under
stood that the county practically
agreed to pay the difference in price
between that asked by the turn
pike company and that offered by
the state.
1t is expected that if the road is
freed it will be put in good donci-
ton without unnecessary delay; Civ
ing a splendid road all the way from
New Hope to the Montgomery
county line near Hatboro.
Doylestown may be reached by
good road, going via Furlong. which
is but little further than going by
Mechanics Valley, without the pay
ment of toll. At present many au
toists go via Center Hill and Ne
chanicsvlle, half of which is first
class road; or else go out past Huff

Lambertville School Plans

The Lambertville Board of Educa-
ton is planning to have special ex-
ercises at the schools, when they are
open for inspection on Saturday.
September 8, and an address will be
delivered to the teachers and others
by a representative of the State
Board of Education. The school
rooms will all be completed, ready
for use, by that time it is expected.
The board is somewhat disap-
pointed that the street comittee of
council should have decided to make
no improvements to Washington
street, the thoroughfare leading to
the high school, but hope to have
something done later.
Many supplies were ordered to
be purchased locally, add minor con-
tracts were awarded. Bills amount
ing to $2,295 were ordered paid.
The resignation of Miss Olivia
Dundas, teacher of English in the
high school, was received and ac-
copied, but no one yet named to the
vacancy. The acceptance of Miss
Elsie B. Hanson to teach both sew
enth and eighth grade pupils for
$500 was received. The teachers
committee recommended that Miss
Beatrice Petrie be transferred tc
eighth grade work; that Miss Mar,
garet Cavanaugh be appointed g
teacher at $3.50, and that Miss Heller
Sergeant be hired for $3.50. Also
that Miss Mary E. Call and her class
be transferred to the Third Ware
school pending repairs downtown
