The difficulty in securing supply
of electric stoves at the present

it is expected that the coming sum-

Injured in Runaway.

Mrs. HenryW. o. Daniels, of Cottage
Hill, Lambertville, is confined to her
home by a broken rib, and her
daughter, Mrs. Raymond VIM and
granddaughter Margaret Win are
suffering from cuts and bruises as
the result of a runaway late Friday
afternoon. They were coming down
Studdiford street in a carriage, when
the horse became frightened at an
automobile that was following them
and ran away, throwing the occu-
pants out.
Mrs. VIM struck the back of her
head against a pole, but was saved
from serious injury by her hair,
which was dressed high and acted
as a cushion. The child was cut
over the eye and bruised severely.
Studdiford street is on a steep hill
and when the horse started to run
the first swerve from its course threw
the carriage into the road.

Churches to Combine in a Farewell
Service for Rey Pennington
COrson on Sunday Night.
MANY VISITORS In THIS CITY

dered by the Rev. Pennington Cor

church, during the Union Evangel-
istic Services last winter, the First
Presbyterian church and the First
Baptist church will close their ser
vices on Sunday evening, March 4.

Centenary M. E. church. When the
meetings last winter were planned,
Mr.. Corson was made chairman of

the success of those meetings was
due to his efficient leadership. This
service may close Mr.. Corson's minis
try in this city as he leaves for the
nnual Conference on Tuesday,

MAY COOK BY
ELECTRICITY
Local Electric Manager Figures the
Cost Down to a Reasonable
Basis For Family Use.
A REAL COMPETITOR OF GAS

Manager H. R. Wilbur, of the
Lambertville Public Service Com
pany and New Hope Electric Com
pany who has done so much to i'm
prove the service since he came to
this city, now purposes entering
into competition with the gas COM
panies of the two towns by supply
ing electric Juice" at a price that
will make it economical for cooking
purposes.
Mr.. Wilbur, together with W. E.
McClintock, the company's treas
urer, who was here awhile, have
been working to secure from the
interests controlling the local plant
permission to establish rates that
would place Lambertville and New
Hope on a par with any other city
in the country, and they have sue
ceeded. A quantity rate as low as
that given Trenton, Newark or
other large cities has now been
made.
Mr.. Wilbur figures out that the
cooking for a family of four can be
done for about $1.15 per week, and
a family of eight for about 81 IS
per week, based upon some expert
ments he has conducted along this
line, and considering the new rate,
where separate meters for the cleo
trio cookstove are installed.
The New Jersey Northern Gas
company charges $1.6O per 1000
cubic feet for gas in Lambertville
or 81 so for prompt payment, while

company furnishes Philadelphia

Red Cross Official Agency.

IF ever DO it now applied, it does in
this case" he said
Everybody wants to help, and as the
President of the United States. who is
also the president of the Red Cross,
said in his letter to last Fridays meet
ing. the Red Cross is the agency Off
cially related TO the government with
plans long since made Cor the most ef-
fective cooperation. Moreover, be
sides general Red Cross activities in
preparation for hospital work. the Dis
trict of Columbia Chapter is to equip
and maintain ambulance corps units,
now being recruited among our col
leges and schools. and also is to care
for dependents of District guardsmen
now or to be in active service
The executive committee strongly
commended che action of the Washing
ton Rotary Club in subscribing $1,000
and will be glad if other organizations
as they meet take similar action. 1t
also lndorsed the plan adopted by John
Dolph. superintendent of division of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany agency, in a joint subscription of
himself and other employees of not less
than $1,000 at $50 week. The exec
utive committee hopes other large con-
Germs will follow this example.
The executive committee desires to
emphasize the suggestion that sub
scriptions payable weekly or monthly
as well as quarterly or semi-annually
are greatly desired. In Canada, where
enormous sums of money have been
raised for Red Cross purposes. these
regular subscriptions payable weekly
or monthly have brought in great sums
in the aggregate.
