RED CROSS TO
HAVE MEETING

Every American citizen will be
given the opportunity and is urged
to assist the American Red Cross in
preparing for any emergency that
may arise in this country, and to
this end a patriotic preparedness
mass meeting has been called at the
Court House in Pennington, Friday
evening, March 9th, at s O'Clock.
which is to be addressed by Albert
W. Staub, Director General of the
Atlantic Division of the Red Cross.
The work of the Red Cross is su-
pervised by the War Department,
and it is essential that in time of
peace you learn how to aid your
country in case of war. These are
War-like times, and the officials of
the Red Cross say Our nation has
never been ready at the beginning
of any war to take proper care of
the sick and wounded" You will
be told at this meeting how you can
assist.
President Wilson is President of
the American Red Cross, and Elk
President Taft is chairman of the
Central Committee. The Red Cross
has been designated by Congress
and the President as the agency
which must make preparation in the
time of peace to assist the medical
department of the Army and Navy
in war.
The public is earnestly requested
by the officials to assist, not only in
contributions of money, but in the
preparation of the necessary sup
plies, especially those which can be
made by volunteer workers.
The Red Cross is anxious to have
available sufficient quantity of
non-perishable goods to meet the
first overwhelming demands, should
our country be involved in war.
1t has always happened that when
the needs Of war arise, the means of
meeting them are not available, and
vast amount of suffering is caused
which could be prevented by such
provision as is now proposed.
NedwiIl Sutphin, teller of the
Pennington National Bank, is tenn
porary treasurer to whom contribu-
tons may be sent. The official APP
peal for members follows;
The American Red Cross asks
the cooperation of every man, wo-
man and child in the Unite States
in increasing its membership to a
million. The Red Cross is the only
volunteer organization for relief of
war or civilian disaster authorized
by the United States government by
act of Congress and Presidential
Proclamation. Its accounts are aud
tied by the War Department. 1t
is non-sectarian and non-political.
1t is original to furnish aid to sick
and wounded of armies in time of
war and to devise and carry on
measures of relief for those suffer
ing from great disasters in time of
peace. Japan with a population Of
forty millions has 100000 Red
Cross members. Germany with a
population of 67,000,000 has 400
600 Red Cross members. France,
England and Russia have more than
a million each. The United States
and its dependencies with popuIa-
ton Of 100000 600 has less than
800, 900 members. Patriotic Amer
leans are earnestly requested to join
and urge members Of their families
and their trienus to join.

FARMERS CLUB
In BUSY SESSION


Solebury Farmers Club was held
last Saturday afternoon at the
Friends schoolhouse. two miles west
of New Hope, and some interesting
reports submitted.
Chester A. MagilI reported wheat
looking very badly. w. w. Hurley
reported a neighbor recently selling
a small load of potatoes for one
hundred dollars, prices, $40, 50. 60
and $3.50 bushel for 1st, I'd and
Sd sizes. William r. Nichols re-
ported potato prices have dropped
the past week. Also that corn is
purchased by millers at $1.05 a
bushel, and cracked corn is selling
at 1925 hundred pounds.
Mrs. M. r. Ely told how she, Miss
Mary D. Ely and Mrs. Rebecca Lear
had tried the twenty-five cents a
day a person plan of eating, giving
menus which showed a wide variety
of nutritious and palatable dishes,
and meals in each instance costing
little less than the allotted amount
Mrs. Howard K. Funk reported
they were getting five cents for
milk, farmers butter selling for
forty cents a pound, creamery, As
and 48 cents, and fancy grades
bringing so cents.
Mr.. Hurley said he thought it was
best to feed most of the general
farm crops. 1t doesn't cost any
more to feed them than it does to
cart them away and does add very
much to the fertility of the farm.
Mr.. Nichols read an article show
ing that by a recent decision that
the Workmen's Compensation Law
of this state does not apply to spec
iality farming, such as fruit growing
or poultry raising.
E. r. johnson reported little
change in price of apples in city
markets.
For the War Baby Committee E.
r. johnson reported the total
amount contributed of $50, of which
SIS had been sent to the Philadel-
phia branch of the Fatherless Chill
dren of France for the care of one
orphan for two years. On motion
the balance was directed sent to the
Philadelphia committee toward the
support of another orphan.
A resolution was passed urging
the taking over of the Old York
road as a federal highway.
How would gasoline for motor
car use be affected by the addition
of small quantity of napthalene?"
Albert W. Preston said he could see
no advantage in the addition of nap
thalene as it is more expensive than
gasolene and that the carburators
would have to be changed.
What have experiments with fer
tilizers lacking potash shown" Mr..
Hurley said we had been without
potash too short a time to really
make any experiments this being
the first year we were entirely with
out it.
What experiments haveyou made
with labor saving devices in the
home that have shown results?"
Mrs. Albert W. Preston considered
the vacuum cleaner the very best
labor saver. She also recommended
bread and cake mixer, tin pieboard,
brush for sweeping walls and dust
ing woodwork, vegetable and egg

The Duty of Idaho

Idaho should make the most of
every acre. Much of that land
which would otherwise be fallow
this year should be planted to
some clean culture crop which
would add to the nations food
supply. Of the clean-culture
crops potatoes and beans are a.
mong the most important and
profitable. 1t has been found in
some sections that wheat follow
ing a properly cultivated crop of
beans or potatoes gives higher
yields than when wheat follows
fallow. Make the most of every
acre.

IMMEDIATE RELIEF POSSIBLE

MTE SUGGESTED 10 Director Webster
w a few days ago that he could very
readily put an end to the debauchery and
dlsgraceful proceedings which character
ize the Sunday excursions on certain
river boats. During the Blankenburg
administration there was the same talk
of divided authority that there is now
But when II became evident that the
Department Of Public Safety could not

The captains of the offending vessels were

Docks and Ferries that the use by them
Of city piers would be prohibited imme.

served at all times on their boats. 1t
was a drastic threat and 1t produced
results. Sunday river excursions ceased
to be a disgrace to the community. We
trust that Director Webster will consult
the files of his Office and repeat the action
that formerly brought instant relief.

II would be criminal for this nation to

must go about our task on the assurnp-

being a provision that there shall be

Congress has been liberal with money.
1t has been mean and cowardly in its
efforts to weaken the Presidents hands
and compel him to wage war with the
assistance of boards that spend most Of
their time disagreeing. We question the
wisdom of appropriating huge sums Of
money and refusing at the same time to
permit the efficient expenditure of this

UNIVERSAL LIABILITY"

TNHE popularity of the American draft

pearances the system has undergone since
the President, in his war Speech sug-
gested that soldiers be "chosen upon the
principle of universal liability to service"
Now that II Is "all over" 1t will be seen
that the results obtained are literally
much nearer this formula than any of the
infinite, conflicting theories about con.
scription that were popularly advanced.

military years has been drafted, uni.

number be the l0,500th number drawn
still II Is his number and the moral re.
sponsibility of giving his maximum OF

said OF lottery; this is not anywhere
near so much a lottery as it looks. When

MR.. MOORE's LIQUOR VIEWS
To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir--what is the reason for. all the ten
der care and solicitude for the liquor in
terests? ]. Hampton Moore's TRADE in
your paper against the effort Of the tenn
perance people to save the food supply
and the country's manhood by urging
restrictive liquor clause In the new food
bill at Washington Is a glaring example
of misleading arguments in behalf Of the
promoters of drunkenness. I am a poor
mechanic with little education, and must
confess that do not see things very clearly
but utter amaZement possesses me when in
a newspaper articles are printed which seem
to condone the whisky business. Every

which not only will not employ drinking
man, but will discharge a man who even
signs a petition of a saloonkeeper.
Congressman Moore's chief fear pretend.

from liquor. Doesn't he realize that liquor
