WANT BIG MEN
AT THE EXHIBIT
Publicity Committee Of Solebury
Farmers Affair Seeks Presi-
dental Candidates.
THE OTHER NEW HOPE EVENTS

Candidates for President of the
United States will be seen at the
Solebury Farmers Exhibit, to be
held at the Solebury Deer Park, two
miles west of this New Hope on
September 8 and 9, if the publicity
committee succeeds in its undertake
ing.
A meeting for the final arrange
ments for the exhibit will be held
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
w. Preston, at Solebury village. on
Tuesday evening, February 20, when
the plans for having big politicians
attend will be decided upon. 1t is
pointed out that this exhibit is one
of the most interesting mutual
gatherings of farmers in the country
and since Governor Brumbaugh visit
ed the place two years ago it is
fitting that the presidential candi-
dates come along and tell what they
want. Situated as it is on direct
macadam road between New York
and Philadelphia, the problem of
bringing in the candidates is of
small moment, in these days of long
distance automobiling.

A list of pursuers is maintained,
kept up to date, and if horse is
stolen each member of that board
had certain duties to perform at
once. 1t has been so long since one
of them has been called upon to
answer the call to arms" that it is
but dim memory.
The feed" served on February
"a, 1847, cost $500, and twenty
three members partook of it. The
members in those days must have
been poor eaters, as the hundred or
more served now eat more than a
dollars worth each, and they get
full value for their money.

Cost Of the Schools.

Lambertville's newly organized
Board of Education is getting down
to business basis by carefully cal
culating the moneys available and
necessary for the alterations to the
High and Third Ward Schools, and the
building committee reported that
the expected transfer of So, 900 from
the latter school appropriation to the
former would balance the account
by small margin.
The total cost of the High School
alterations are: Building, 5000; fire
escapes, $400; toilets, $500; total,
$780,. Contracts now made: Build
ing, $500; heating and ventilating,
81 $50; new boiler, $125; other items
not contracted for, $310.67; total,
SO, 095.67. Yet to be provided: An
other new boiler. plumbing and light
ing, toilets, changes and additions.
Third Ward School. Appropria-
tian, $35, 900. Contracts: Building
$25, 292; heating and ventilating, $5,-
450; plumbing, $848; electricity
$424.7O; total, $32,O14.7O. Yet to
be provided for: Changes and alter
atoms.
A total of $8,378.17 has been
paid on the High School work, leaving
balance of $12E.83 from the appro-
priation, but this and more will be
needed. Out of the $35. 900 appro-
priation for the Third Ward school
SIS, 500 has already been paid. Out
of the $4,000 appropriation for archi-
tect's work, $685. has been paid.
The furniture appropriation of $500
walks 5000, library 5000, science
equipment of $500 and incidentals
of 500 are all listed on the balance
sheet.
The building committee reported
number of minor repairs to the
schools and recommend that altera-
tons to the First Ward school go
over until the question of additions
is taken up. The committee also
asked authority to take up with the
Lambertville Water Company the
question of running city water to,
the High School, and provid a fire
plug at the street level. DR.. G. E.
Wagg, whose new residence adjoins
the school grounds, has a contract to
furnish water for drinking and labora-
tory purposes, but expresses a will
ingness to have the contract cancelled
if more satisfactory supply can be
secured.
Secretary Walter F. Hayhurst re-
ported careful examination of the
various bonds, insurance policies,
etc., held by the board. and said
that they were satisfactory. Mr..
Hayhurst reported that Herbert N.
Morse, representing the State Board
of Education, had visited the city
and examined the First Ward Second
Ward and High Schools. He insist
ed that the desks and seats in the
First and Second Ward schools be
cleaned, and suggested an improve
ment of the boardwalks at the Second
Ward school.

mems, Wills II. OtDlC0.
The society was organized or
February "a, 1887, with Jacob B.
Smith as president, and William B.
Ely as secretary. Mr.. Smith con-
tinued in the presidency until his
death, with DR.. Samuel Lilly, John
son Barber, John H. Anderson, and
James D. Stryker following in rota
ton. DIR. j. Hayhurst became presi-
dent in 1868, about the time Lam
bertville changed from the town form
of government to that of the city
form. DIR. Hayhurst continued until
1888, when his son, Counsellor-at-
law Walter F. Hayhurst, one-time
prosecutor of pleas in Hunterdon
county, came to the chair. He has
served twenty-eight years, making
a total of forty-eight years of Presi-
dent Hayhurst. =" Being unanimous
~ reelected each time, there wouldn't
seem to be mvch question as to the
popularity of the selection.
Samuel A. Finger, president OF
the Merchants Association, is Sec
rotary, and is regarded as hav'
ing passed the protein" stage
From 1880 to 1882 he acted under
this title, but since that date has
had the office to himself, and thirty
six years on one job is apt to take
the green" feeling away
Robert H. Dilts, vice-presldent, is
the oldest member in point of rank
and has filled the second office since
1888, or twenty-eight years in all
Promotions in the society are no
rapid, although the positions seen
reasonably permanent.
David w. Hoppock, mere new
conner in the official family, has beel
treasurer only since 1906, and will
really not be eligible to the homo
roll for another fifteen years
but his friends intend that he sha
reach that point if possible.

President Makes Marked Headway in Straw Vote Canvass of
 Country.
TO BE CLOSE
New York May Decide the Contest; Wilson Leads There, but State
 Doubtful.

NEW YORK. Oct. 9.-The third week of the New York Herald's straw vote canvass Of the Nation finds President Wilson making mark ed gains throughout the country, and particularly in the so-called doubtful states. Hughes lost much of the ground that he had gained las. week. Wilson is ahead in enough of the doubtful States to give him the election. However the Herald. commenting on the showing made that everywhere is shaping up for a close race for the Presidency with New York State likely likely to be the determining factor"
 The Empire State in the straw vote tabulauon is placed on the Wilson column for the present but the Herald claims that it is un- auestionably doubtful State"
 Last weeks tabulauon. while show ing Wilson in the lead, claimed that Hughes had the better of the sit uation by a shade. This week, it is admitted that Wilson has shade the better.
 Wilson continues ahead in Wash lngton and Oregon
