WHAT ARE YOU DOINGi
Are You Planning TO Plant Garden
So As TO Help Win the Warf

"There has been no talk in Crystal
Falls so far about extending our ger
den operations next spring" said a
nrominent citizen OF this city TO Dia-
mond Drill reporter last Tuesday. III
a. nretty near time that something
was done to start the spring cam
paign. We ought TO plant more thah
We did last year.
Yes, Il Is true that there mas Deen
very little said about expanding our
planting the coming year and during
ALI OF the time the government mas
been calling upon us TO stint ourselves
on food products that the allies and
our army may have plenty to eat. Tor
an army can't fight on an empty stoIn-
ach
II is time that Crystal Falls people
should give some attention to this very
important work. The committee on
food increase has for the use or the
neople a large tract of land on the
Alpha road. Some OF II has been TAX
en- already, but there IL lot OF II leit
for planting purposes. Anyone VINO
wants some OF this land can have IL
by applying TO Thomas Conlin, Her
man Holmes or the county agent.
At an appointed date later on the
committee will 20 10 the land with the
applicants and allot the ground out as
called for. Ii Is intended to have
more system to the work this year
than there was last year.
The early frost caught most or the
garden that was planted on the land
last year, and so there was not the
return from II that was expected.
However, II is intended that crops
shall be put in early this year so that
they will be well along by the time
that they were planted last year.

RESTRICTIONS ARE OFF.

The meatless days have vanished TO
keep company with the heatless days
Of last winter The federal food ad-
mlnistrGtion has removed the restric-
tions to the use of meats, and the Am
erican people are now at liberty to
serve meat on every day II they
choose.
To Offset this relaxation on meats
the strings have been drawn tighter
on wheat. Victory bread must now
contain 25 per cent OF substitute for
white flour instead OF 20 per cent as
heretofore
Rye -four Ia not substitute for
wheat -four. The state OF Michigan

Public Schools Reopen

The Lambertville Public
Schools opened September 3rd
with an enrolment of 705 pu-

number about the same as last
year.
There are 83 pupils from out
of town and there were 78 last
year.
All teachers were in attend
ance and positions filled except

were made to fill the vacancy.
Tables and chairs were or
dered for the new room at the
High School and additional
desks for the Commercial De-
partment. A part of the physical

Free Bridge Meeting

A meeting was held Tuesday
evening at which the Lambert
vile City Commissioners, Chief
Burgess Harry Warford, of New
Hope, and representative citi-
zens of both places conferred
with Walter F. Hayhurst, Esq,
the local member of the Free
Bridge Commission in regard to
freeing the New Hope Delaware
structure next on the list.
The local bridge company
asks 100000 for the structure,
and whether this is too much or
not is a question which the
Bridge Commission will decide
after the states engineers re-
port on its value. 1t is believed
however, that condemnation
will be necessary.
After a lengthy conference,
Mayor Theodore Balderston APP
pointed o. C. Holcombe, George
w. Prall and Andrew Foltz to
represent Lambertville, and
Burgess Warford named Daniel
B. Oblinger and j. P. Borden to
represent New Hope in the
committee that will get busy in
the movement to secure early
abolition of tolls between Lam
bertville and New Hope.

THE RIGHT IDEA.

John, Jr., is a son of the Ameri-
can Revolution because his great
Observation-Disclosures passed
through the enemy's line with an
important message to General Wash
ington.
He did not exactly deliver the
message. Being intercepted by the
enemy, he swallowed it. Unwrlttcn
history has not left behind either
the size of the document or that Of
the messengers mouth.
81 tell you what folks has got to
do" said Master John, talking over
the gravity of the present situation
with the grocer boy; "When they
know something the Germans are
hanging around to hear they've got
to swallow it.

Walter l.. Main Fashion Plate
Shows here Monday.

Representatives of the Wal
ter L.Main Fashion Plate Shows
have completed all arrange
ments for the appearance Of
that World-Famous enterprise
in Lambertville Monday Sept.
18th.
For more than decade the
Walter l.. Main Shows have
maintained prominent place
in the front ranks of American
shows because of its unusual
characteristics as a Circus; its
essential quality of Different
from the other Shows, its fine
menagerie and its great display
of fine horses. What then may
be expected when it isannounced
that we are to be treated to such
an exhibition. Surely the pat
rons of tented amusements will
be justified in expecting an I'M
usually meritorious performance
and they will see surprising eX-
hibitions of trained animals
and skillful performers such as
have never before witnessed.
Two complete performances

CROPS NOT FOR AUSTRIANS
Seed Sown by the Soldiers Of
Emperor Karl.

The Austrians in their retreat
from the Piave abandoned not only
materials of war but also their har-
vests. The possessive pronoun is
used advisedly.
Last winter they sowed grain in
their conquered territory during the
abundance of spare time they had
when there was little fighting. They
watched the crop come up and grow
to swift maturity under the kindly
Italian sun. They watered at the
mouth in anticipation of enjoying
summer feasts of white bread, SO
long denied them.
They had almost forgotten that
the land was not their very own.
They had no expectation that the
real owner would return to claim the
harvest; on the other hand they were
looking enviously at the smiling
fields further on.
Suddenly they had to quit the soil
and its yield. When the order for
the retreat was given and discipline
was relaxed the soldiers, fleeing,
snatchcd off the heads of the grain
and filled their haversacks. Prison.
ers say the scene reminded them of
passages in the Bible which tell of
the men of Holy Writ going through
the fields and rubbing out the kerr
nels between their palms to eat them

War Chest Campaign.

Lambertville is carrying on
an intensive publicity campaign
this week preparatory to a re-
canvass for the War Chest next
week. The committee directing
this work has been administer
ing the centralized funds of war
activities since January and the
increasing needs of the Red
Cross, Y. M. C. A. and added
burdens which the city would
not want to ignore, make it nee
essary that additional money be
provided. The War Chest, in
consequence is listing all those
in the city with incomes, and
will ask that all payto the War
Chest one days income out of
every 81. This is only half what
was asked by Philadelphia and
other cities, but it is deemed
sufficient here. The Slogan 81
to 81" is displayed all over the
city and other publicitymethods
will call the attention of Lam
bertville and the surrounding
sections of New Jersey to the
new move.
An interesting display is
now open in the Holcombe
Building windows on Union st.
In one window is a fine collect
ion of relics of the present war,
loaned by William l.. Lathrop of
New Hope. Most ofthese articles
were brought to this country
by Mr.. Lathrop's son, Julian
Lathrop, when he was engaged
as an ambulance driver with
the French Army in the West
ern front operations. In the
other window is representation
of a large treasure chest and
sixty receptaclcS to be used in
the soliciting Of contributions at
the stores and business places.
They are made in the model of
a shell taken from one of the
Spanish warships sunk at San
tiago, and are of porcelain, made
at the Lambertville Pottery.
Most of the work on these re-
ceptables as well as the window
trimming was done by Thomas
Mountford, of the committee.
On Saturday evening a big
parade will be held, with many
notable features. In the line of
march will be the Citizens Band
the local fire companies, the
Lambertv lie Militia Reserves,
with the; fife and drum corps,
auto floats representing the var
ious interests supported by the
War Chest, families of the 207
men in service from this city,
carried in automobiles; the
Community Chorus, singing
horsemen from the surrounding
sections, and various lodges.
The parade will be by daylight
and will dismiss at the baseball
grounds to be followed by music
an address by a notable speaker
and free moving pictures of wal
events and scenes.
The committee believes that
bV the conclusion of the week
of advertising and giving the
people full information as to
the needs and the purposes for
which the money will be used
the responce will be so generous
that the city quota on all funds
to be raised can be paid out OF
this treasury paid in by weekly
or monthly instruments, and
frequent appeals will be avoid.
