Consider Futher Plans for New
Rolling Mill.

A meeting of the joint committees
of the Merchants Association and
Chamber of Commerce, Messrs. F. A,
Woodward and Joseph Akers repre-
senting the Association, and Arnett,
Lambert, Kitchin and Hayhurst, the
Chamber of Commerce, was held at
Nthe Commissioners Room on Tuesday
evening, May 81, to consider the prop
osition made to them by the persons
interested in the Chemung Iron &
Steel Co. of New York, for the loca-
ton of a rolling mill at Lambertville.
The New York interests were repre-
sented by Messrs' Quirke and Ander-
son. Details and plans were discussed
informally. 1t appeared that there
was some misunderstanding about the
proposed location of the plant and an
expert will visit the locality in few
days and make report on that subject.
In the mean time it was understood
that the joint committee would be
furnished with a written proposition
containing definite statements as to
cost, capital investment, personel and
financial reference and that our COM
mittee would take up investigation
and be ready to make final recon-
incubation very quickly.

Lambertville's Liberty Loan Quotas.

A number of people have asked
what were the amounts raised by
Lambertville for the five Liberty Loan
Campaigns, and the quotas assigned
the District. The following informa-
ton will be of interest.
In the First Loan the quota assign
ed Lambertville was $349, 100000 and
the amount raised $134, 100000 The
amount subscribed by the citizens was
less by about $12,00OOo but the two
Banks of the city made up the balance
that Lambertville's subscription
might be 100 per cent on population
basis. Mr.. Andrew Foltz was chair
man of the Committee here.
In the Second Loan the quota as
signed Lambertville District was $519,
10000 and the amount raised $205,00
Mr.. Frank A. Phillips was Chairman
of the Committee
In the Third Loan the quota was
1929, 10000 and the amount raised
S225,S50.00 Mr.. Phillips was again
Chairman, and Rev. Theron Lee Chair
man of the Campaign Committee that
took charge of the Canvass.
In the Fourth Loan the quota was
$445, 10000 and the amount raised
$457, 10000. The amount officially
credited to the District was consider
ably less or about $454, 10000, viz.
102 per cent of the quota. This
discrepancy was due to the complicat-
ed system of accounting adopted from
Headquarters in the matter of Rail
road subscriptions, and the system
was such that it was inadvisbale fol-
the Local Committee to attempt tc
have the confusion rectified in the
matter of Lambertville's subscription
The Chairman was Rev. Theron Lee
In the Fifth and Victory Loan the
quota was 1894, 10000 and the amount
raised $350,100.00 This is the a
mount actually raised although the
Federal Reserve figures have not beer
completed and given out. The Chair
man was Rev. Theron Lee.
The total amount raised il
Lambertville District in the five loans
was therefore 81, 3,250.00.

improvements in New Hope.

Several local improvements of in
terest are being made or about COM
pleted, indicating an encouraging out
look for continued prosperity
The Northeast Pennsylvania Rail
road (Reading operation) has dis
tributed heavier rails than the present
one all the way into the local station,
and they will be laid at an early date.
When completed this will give the
company main line standard rail all
the way from here to Glenside, the
southern terminus of the road. With
the present heavy equipment and
trains this is considered necessary.
The Bucks County Commissioners
have had the new reinforced concrete
bridge over Aquetong Creek, near
Huffnagle station, completed, and it
for any traffic likely to cross it The
only attractive to the eye, but is safe
for any traffic likely to cross it The
old structure, of wood, collapsed some
weeks ago, making it necessary for
vehicular traffic to go around via the
Grimes place to reach the York road
from the silk mill.
Extensive repairs have been made
to the Stockton avenue concrete
bridge, the largest and most unique
bridge of the kind in the county, the
roadway being supported on curved ,
trestles of concrete. New cappings, |
curbings and some reinforcement |
has been added where the original |
showed signs of travelling |
out. The bridge was built in 1910, at |
a cost of 100000, and is extensively |
used, especially for hauling between
the local paper mills and the RAILROAD |
station.

More than three and half tons of
pig were weighed in for the Pig Club
boys and girls from May 1 to May Is.
Two hundred members of the clubs
scattered throughout the county are
competing for the prize offered for
the best pig in the county. The weight
limit is sixty pounds and the pigs
are to be twelve weeks old or less.
Any boy or girl in the county could
become a member. Of the total num-
Der of pigs in the clubs, and their
average is thirty-seven pounds, So
are purebreds, of which 20 are Berk-
shires, Is Durocs, IL o. /. c., Ches-
ter Whites and Poland Chinas. It
was figured out last year that the
pnrebreds gained more rapidly than
grades or crossbreds.

Boy Scout Week June 9th to 14th.
To the Mothers and Fathers of
american boys:

To the Mothers and Fathers of
american boys:
The congress of the United States.
recognizing the value of proper train
ing of American boyhood, granted
a special charter for the organization
of the Boy Scouts of America. This
organization now embraces 375.0OO
splendid American boys; but this is
a very small proportion of the 10.
100000 American boys between the
ages of twelve and twenty-one who
ought to be given the benefit of Bow
Scout discipline, training and practice.
The future of the Nation depends of
course, upon its youth. The fathers
and mothers of American boys will
be gravely derelict in parental duty
and in National obligation if they fail
to give their hearty support. moral
and financial, to this great American
Boy Scout movement. Not only is
every Boy Scout given useful knowl-
! edge and training which equips him
better for the battle of life itself, but
there are inculcated in him the duties.
obligations, ideals and higher concep-
tons of American citizenship.
Each year the Boy Scout move
ment is turning out thousands of bet
ter boys and creating the finest types
of future American patriotics. No
cause should appeal more strongly
to the mothers and fathers of Amer
lea than the Boy Scout cause.
The Boy Scouts raised several hun
bred million dollars in the Liberty
Loan and War Savings Stamps cam
paigns. They did splendid work for
the Red Cross in its several National
campaigns. They served the Govern
ment in many other effective ways
during the great world war. 1t is
an organization of gallant patriotics
and deserves the encouragement and
support of the Nation
The week beginning June and end
ing June IA has been set apart as
Boy Scout week for the purpose of
charging and strengthening the Boy
Scout organization. Associate Mem
berships in the Boy Scout organization
will be offered to the mothers and
fathers of American boys and to other
adult American citizens. This, if sue
cessful will provide supporting adult
organization to the Boy Scouts of
America which will assure the enlarg-
ed usefulness and effectiveness of the
Boy Scout movement. Surely there
are five million men and women who
are willing to help the boys of Amer
lea to become the best of all American
citizens. Surely there are millions
of other American citizens who are
willing to contribute small sum to
put the Boy Scout organization on a
strong and permanent basis which
will assure the continuous training
Of the youth of America in the finer
ideals and conceptions of citizenship
in the greatest democracy on earth.
This worthy cause stands alongside
the Red Cross and other humanitarian
organizations which have had the gen.
erous support of the American people.
In the name of Americas best boy
hood, l beg Americas manhood and
womanhood to help.

The large number of purebreds
seems to be due to the fact that in
many cases last years winners were
of the purebred Duroc or Berkshire
breed. An instance is recorded of Eu-
gene Rosenberger. the winner of last
years first prize in the county. He
bought purebred Duroc pig from a
neighbor and this spring sold to the
other members of the club pure Du-
roc sow pigs so that their particular
club would have no handicap.
Seven thousand five hundred pounds
of pork to begin with, added to a
pound day increase, lao pounds for
the season for each member of the
club, means that at the end of the
period this increase will amount to
Ia tons.
Feeding the Pigs
A large proportion of members this
year are planning to feed this COM
bination, which has worked out SC
well in other years: Corn neH' 'H'
pounds, middlings 800 pounds and
tankage, 100 pounds, in addition tC
some sort of green feed. In some
cases boys are feeding skim-mill
which costs from a half cent to cent
a quart, instead of the Tankage. Thi:

Head of Trade Board
Is AssaiIed by Morris

Edward Morris, president of Morris
& Co., the packing firm, issued state
ment yesterday charging Chairman
Coiver of the Federal Trade Commis-
sion with becloudinc the chief issues
now before the public concerning the
packing industry. Mn. Norris, in dis
cusslng Chairman Colvers statement
before the Senate Committee on Agr;-
culture, declared that the chairman
dwelt on the "stale and inaccurate re-
port concerning privately owned freight
cars" but lodged the question of
prices.
"The public should not allow trade
commissioners or propagandists of
special interests to obscure the fact
that the packing industry, as at pres
ent organized, is functioning efficiently
at an amazingly small rate of profit,
and that such interference, as now
proposed at Washington, would, by dis
turbing this efficient operation, appre-
ciably increase the cost Of living" Mr..
Morris said in his statement.
He pointed out that the conclusions
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
SION reached after years of study Of
the system permitting privately owned
freight cars, differ radically from
those of the Federal Trade Commits
sion. which he terms "a body without
special training in railroad problems" !"
Mr.. Morris said that the only difference
between privately owned cars and those
owned by the railroads is in the
speedler unloading of the former

Right to Seize and Sell
Cold Storage Products

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Aug. 27.-The
right of the state Of Ohio to seize and
sell at public auction food which has
been held in cold storage longer than
specified by the Smith cold storage law
was upheld by the State Supreme
Court in a decision handed down to-
day.
The decision fully upholds the con-
stitutionality of the cold storage law
under which seizure Of seventy five
tons of pork owned by the Columbus
Packing Company had been made by
the Franklin County Common Pleas
Court. The meat had been held in cold
storage longer than the six months
time limit allowed under the cold stor-
age law.
Seizure of millions of pounds of meat
and other cold storage products in
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Column

to follow Immediately. Officials in
those cities have only been waiting for
the State Supreme Court decision to
take similar action, it is said.

ments charging violation of the state
cold storage law were returned by the
Hamilton County Grand Jury to-day.
Five of the indictments arc against

tain three counts.
