DICKENS FAMILY PROVISION,

Election of Henry Fielding Dick
ems son of Charles Dickens, the nov
elist, by the aldermen of the city of
London to the office of common SER
geant, which carries with it salary
of $4,000 year, will cause gratif-
cation to many admirers of his IA
Their in America, says the Richmond
Times-Dispatch. 1t is true that the
versatile caricaturist made a lot of
fun of our institutions when they
were in crude state, and there was
a time when his burlesques of our
boosted business progressiveness
were not well relished, but he was
master of a form Of humor which ap-
pealed irresistibly to the American
sense of the ludicrous, and so he was
forgiven. Of late years, stories of
the poverty of his descendants caused
grief in this country, which will be
relieved at the newS of his sons good
fortune.

Welcome" From Merchants.

Welcome to Lambertville" and
Come Again" signs will be erected
at each entrance to this city by the
Lambertville Merchants Association,
according to a resolution fathered
by Frank Bailey at Monday nights
meeting of that organization. A
special design will be adopted, and
it will also be made in form of cuts
and run in newspapers. Theodore G.
Kitchin, Harry Van Horn, and Frank
Bailey were named by President S. A.
Finger to carry out the plan. The
association endorsed the county farm
demonstration movement, now on
foot in Hunterdon County, and app
ropiated SIS toward the flag pole
that the local G. A. R. will erect on
the city lot on. the city lot on York
street.
William Hunt, Frank Bailey,
Harry E. Van Horn, G. C. B. John
and George B. Horner were named
committee to arrange for a speak
err and a feed" at the annual meet
ing of the association, to be held on
Monday evening, April Is.
Plans for big demonstration at
the Soledury Farmers Exhibit on
September 6 and 7 next, and it will
be suggested to the exhibit associ-
alton that, if the date changed to a
Wednesday and Thursday, the mem
bers will close their stores on one of
those days and attend in a body.
This would be practically impossible
on Friday or Saturday. the days
upon which the exhibit is usually
held.
Treasurer Harry E. Van Horns
report showed a good, healthy bal
ance on hand, and Financial Secre-
tary C. C. B. Johns report showed
that the outstanding dues uncollect-
ed were the least in the associations
history, and all perfectly good; un-
solely because they didn't happen to
be in when the collector called.
The association expects this to be
the biggest year in its history. Off
icers will be elected at the next
meeting, the present ones being:
President, Samuel A. Finger; vice
president, DIR. Theodore Balderston;
treasurer, Harry E. Van Horn;

RAISING RICE IN ITALY.

Rice cultivation is one of the prin,
cipal industries of Italy, and par
ticularly in the Turin consular dis
trict, the annual Italian rice pro-
duction being about 100000 tons. Of
this amount, about 100000 tons is
rice hulls. 1t is estimated that there
is at present on hand, about 100000
tons of bulls from the 1915 and 1916
crops which, owing to the embargo
on expectation from the kingdom,
could not, as in former years, be sent
to Switzerland and Germany as cat
tie food, says Joseph Emerson Ha-
ven, consul at Turin, in a statement
to the department Of commerce.

Street Work Planned.

1t is now expected that the streets
of this city will not be oiled this
year, owing to the tremendous in
crease in cost. The best quotations
that Commissioner Andrew Foltz has
been able to receive are more than
twice as high as last year, with the
application cost an unknown factor.
Commissioner Foltz, with the ap-
proval of the other commissioners
who passed a resolution to that effect
some time ago, has placed the care
of the streets in the hands of City
Engineer Theodore G. Kitchin, and
he and Mr.. Foltz are working meth
DDS which they believe will relieve
most of the dust nuisance, and make
the roadways very much better.
If the streets are oiled, it will not
be possible to do any other work of
note, as the appropriation this year
is only 81 1000, but with extreme care
it is believed that every street. in the
city can be put in good travelling
condition, and some of them more
or less permantly improved. North
Main street, from Cherry street to
the Alexauken bridge, and the creek
road from the city limits, must both
be shaped up and placed in good
condition. Brunswick avenue and
Swan street are throughfares of i'm
portance that will be very material
ly improved at an early date.
1t is planned to change the cross
walks at intersecting streets, drop
ping them to the gutter lines, the
same as in other cities, doing away
with mud holes in the center. 1t will
also permit the removal of the large
boulders which have decorated the
various corners for years, to keep
vehicles from running over and
breaking down the thin flagstones
which cover the cutters.
All the drainage will be carefully
noted, and inspections made every
rainy day. repairs being made as
quickly as possible. Complaints about
streets, walks or drainage, sent or
phoned to either the commissioner
or engineer will be given prompt
attention.
Tractor power will largely sup
plant horse power this season, it
being expected that On, car lie hired,
whenever needed, not only for scrap
ing, but for hauling and other work,
The steam roller will be used extensi-
vely for keeping the streets in good
order.
No such elaborate scneme for
utilizing the city,s finds to get the
largest possible results has ever be-
fore been worked out, but when
work begins early in April. every
movement will be part of definite
system that will extend into future

Trolley Fare 39c.

1t seems that the fare between
this city and Trenton, on the BUCKS
County Railway, taking effect on
March 25, will not be SO cents as
expected, but 80 cents, it beng
necessary to add war tax, whicn
will be taken up on final collection.
Of course anyone leaving the car at
Yardley and waiting for the next
one to come along will save the three
cents. but it is not expected that
many will be so economical as that.
This rate will bring trolley fare
within five cents of the steam rail-
road fare, counting in the war tax
also, on single tickets, while the
steam rate is lower on any of the
several forms of trip tickets. People
who have watched both trains and
trolleys carefully do not anticipate
any great slump in traffic because OF
the total raise of nine cents each
way, believing that the trolley traffic
has already dwindled to those who
use it merely as a matter OF con-
vience between steam train times,
rather than because of any saving
in fare. However, for months past
the electric cars have made their
schedule almost without a break,
something that cannot be said for
the steam trains.

Work or be Locked Up.

Loafers are not going to have easy
sleding in Lamdertville in the future,
so long as Governor Edges labor pro-
clamation holds good, if the city
commissioners have any say about it.
The governors orders were received
last Thursday, and while no immedi-
ate Official action was taken, it was de-
cided, Informally, to investigate
several people without visible oc-
cupation, and if they don't secure
regular employment they face a
penalty of 500 fine and three
months Imprisonment.
In connection with the possibility
of imprisoning somebody under this
law, Commissioner Foltz reported
that the new door on the city Jail
was about as near escape-proof as
possible to make it. The cost was

job, using steel and various other
things that would discourage even
the most enthusiastic jail-breaker.
The Sane Fourth idea was dis
cussed, and it was left to Mayor
Theodore Balderston to issue pro-
clamation, which will propably pre-
clude the use of everything except
ing small firecrackers and displays
of the rocket type at night.

TAR AND FEATHERS AT

ceiving the limit sentence for misde
meanor, Fred Richmond, charged with
having made disloyal utterances, wa
forcibly taken from his keeper ane
given a coat of tar and feathers by {
party of masked men Monday even
ing.
The attack was made at dark place
near the Jail, the officer being knock
ed down from the rear and held until
an auto could come up and the party
make their getaway.
cat first it was believed that friends
of the prisoner had made a rescue
but later Developments point to the
application of a coat of tar and feath-
ers. This theory is borne out by the
fact that while the officer was knock
ed down and firmly held, no rough
punishment was attempted.
