New Hopers in France.

An interesting extract from French
newspaper has been received by friends
of Samuel NJ. Matthew's and John
Pickett, two New Hope boys in the
company mentioned below:
Although by no means the Oldest
organization in France, the Second
Corps Artillery Park have done their
bit at the front and are now engaged
in handling motor transportation in
Camp Potanezen, greatly assisting in
getting the boys home "toot sweet"
Worked Long Hours.
Organized June 4, 1918, at Camp
jackson, S. c. with strength of
1850 officers and men, the Second
Corps Park Artillery embarked for
France July 10th, arriving here on the
21st. They were Immediately sent to
the Front, where they participated in
the Aisne- Marine offensive August 9TH
to 14th, at St. Mihiel September 18th
to 18th, at Oisne-Aisne September
18th to October 18th with the Second
French Army, and in the Argonne-
Mouse offensive, October 18th to No
vember 18th.
This organization was cited by G..
H. @. after hauling ammunition for
~ hours without resting, in many in
stances delivering ammunition ahead
of American Infantry and machine
gun implacements. They were also
cited by the Commanding General and
the Chief of Artillery of the First
American Army for their efficient
work at the front.

On January 29rd they returned to
Brest for embarkation to the United

Weaver, Mr.. Edward Shick, and Mrs
George M. Rocks, for the contribution
of time or materials. The City Com
missioners for the use of the Council
/ Room. The War Savings Stamp Com
mittee for the use of their corner
booth.
One of the most and material SER
vices to the raising of our quota
was rendered by those who made the
conditional subscriptions that started
the ball rolling again in the last week.
The two patriotic citizens who do not
wish their names mentioned, one SUBJ
scribing 100000 and the other $4OO.
and the two banks subscribing $4,000
each, in addition to what they had
all previously put in, furnished con-
ditional pledge of S3S,4O0O0 an a.
mount that proved the final stimulus
in the Campaign. To the credit of
these individuals and corporations it
should be said that they made their
subscriptions final at time Saturday
night before the books closed and
while other subscriptions kept coming
in.
The Chairman wishes not only to
acknowledge the subscriptions of all
who found themselves able to do so,
but also the patriotic efforts of the
many who not being able to subscribe,
still supported the Loan in every other
possible way. The ability to subscribe
is not given to all, but all have had
the privilege of helping in some influ-
entail way toward the success of our
City's effort.
In conclusion, the Chairman wishes
to state his regret that the necessary
haste of the business of the Loan has
quite possibly given rise to omissions
or misunderstanding which have of
course been absolutely unattended.
He would appreciate it as a real favor
if in any such would be brought to his
attention, for an explanation satisfac-
tory could probably be made in every
case, and he would welcome the OPP
portunity.
Respectfully yours,
Theron Lee Chairman.

Improvements to Schools.

The improvements to the First
Ward School of Lambertville will be-
gin at an early date and be completed
by September /, in time for the fall
term, according to the contracts a.
warded by the Board of Education.
Contractor George w. Arnett, of
this city, will do the mason and car
penter work; John A. Bowling, of
Trenton, the plumbing, and the Mer-
Ger Electrical Company, of Trenton,
the electric wiring and fixtures.
The total cost of all the work will
be 1864, and when completed will
give each ward of this city modern
lied school building. The High
School, in the second ward, was re-
modelled and overhauled several years
ago, and the Third Ward School was
greatly enlarged and improved, SO
that the First Ward alone remained
unimproved up to this time.

Lambertville Goes Over the Top.

This city went over the top ZOO,
with more reports to come, in the
recent Victory Loan drive according
to the chairman Rev. Theron Lee.
The Amwell National Bank, report
ed subscriptions of $4,000 passing
through their hands; the Lambertville
National reported $160,S0O; the Penn
sylvania railroad, $15,700 and Stock
ton $1,000, making grand total of
$347,100 raised. The quota was 1894,
400. Additional subscriptions, yet ex-
pected to be reported will probably
add to this total. Not only Lambert
vile city, but Stockton, Sergeantsville
and Rosemont all went over their
quota by good margins.
The honor block is the west side of
North Union street, from Elm to the
city limits, that having more subscrib-
ers cards in the windows than any
other block in the city, number of
houses considered. And there are
quite a number of houses in that
block, too thirty-two in all.
Charles D. Mcracken won the Ger
man helmet for the largest number
secured by a canvasser, and William
B. John helmet for the largest in
dividual subscription.
Prior to and during the early part
of the campaign it was not expected
that the full amount could be raised,
due to the heavy inroads made in
previous campaigns, but the commit
tee kept busily at work with its usual
successful outcome.

Industrial proposition.

There is an industrial proposition
offered to Lambertville through the
Chamber of Commerce. Whether it is
possible to give the matter the con-
sideration it deserves; whether it is
worth while to give it any considera
ton at all, is a matter to be discussed
1t is assumed that the various organ
izations of the city will be asked to
give it due consideration. 1t would
seem that generally business is look
ing around for expansion and the
question is whether Lambertville can
afford to take The risk of helping it
long or can afford miss the oppor-
tunity at this time.

A Joint Industrial Meeting.

Joint industrial meeting will be
held by the Lambertville Merchants
Association and the Chamber of Com
merce at the formers headquarters,
in Odd Fellows hall, on Monday even
ing at 8 o'clock to consider the loca-
ton in this city of large industry
Every member of both organiza-
lions is invited to attend and hear the
proposition which will be offered by
Secretary Hayhurst, of the Chamber
of Commerce.
The proposition looks like a good
one, it would be located within the city
limits, and would not effect any of the
other local industries already here.

The Single Track.

Some years ago when Mr.. Wilson
was a candidate for president it was
said that the schoolmaster in politics
might be dangerous quality, the
reason being that the schoolmaster OF
necessity governs small children and
unruly young men by his word and
undisputed authority. 1t cannot be
otherwise. Under certain eircumstan-
ces this is necessary. It noa'- he d.
sirable that an official should as
sumo this attitude in time of emer-
gency, but the tendency undoubtedly
would be to develop the 'single track
mind, and we wonder whether this
is condition that we may be suffer-
ing from just the present time.

gan agricultural college. The de-
partment, it is announced from the
college, has published a book for the

vote more than minute or two a
day to the task. The new books fit
the farming business in the same man.

other businesses.
"In the new books there is no part,
except the actual daily record, which
can not be left until slack season,
like mid-winter, for classifying and
summarizing" declares Charles H.
Graves, farm management specialist
for the college.
"The present is a good time to COM
mence the keeping of farm records,
for the taking of inventories and sum-
marizing of last years results"
The books, according to the an
nouncement from the college, can be
obtained for small fee (cost) from
the county agricultural agents, or di-
