Dear Dad & ALL
Well it is about 2 P. M. and
have just finished a big turkey
dinner, we had a fine meal,
turkey, all we could eat. l have
a big piece left for supper. We
had pie, cake, mashed spuds,
celery, macaroni, cheese, lettuce,
peas, dressing, gravy, four cakes
of chocolate each, six packs of
cigarettes and one cigar. | gave
mine to the other fellows. We
also had hot chocolate and nuts,
a fine meal, but it would have
been better at home.
forgot to tell you we took UP
a collection in this camp for the
benefit of the poor children of
Nevers, we raised $4,000 Francs.
from $4,000 fellows in this camp,
which amounted to about four
thousand dollars. We sure did
show them a good time, it was
so muddy that we went to town
to give out the things. l helped
give out the doll babies. They
were about s inches tall. Each
girl got a card at school which
they gave in and then they re-
ceived their presents, first a doll
then a box of tin dishes, a rope
to jump with, a pair of socks,
one pair of mittens, one cake of
chocolate and one package of
spearmint gum. The boys re-
ceived very nearly the same
things, only things for boys to
play with. There were over
5000 children there, it was a
sight. | will always remember

what to make of it, some who

the quantity fell to 100000
pounds. Imported hops ranged
from 1000, 900 to 100000 pounds
from 1908 to 1914, and they rose

ROBBED Tuesday night. Some time
in the night entrance was made
and the safe was dynamited. The
postmaster, c. E. Rich, has not
stated how much in stamps and

When the Angel of Death
passed over this town last Fri
day, it removed from our midst
William H. Blowars, beloved son
of William H. and Sidney
Blowars, in the 32nd year of his
age. He had been i'll with pneu-
monia for two weeks, and beside
a physicians care he had the
constant aid of a competent
trained nurse from New York
City. All efforts to effect a cure
proved unavailing. Mr.. Blowars
had been in the tinsmith bust
ness for some years, and was a
skilled workman. He was a
member of the New Hope Base
Ball Team where he was well
known, and last year he was
made one of the Lambertville
nine. He was also a member of
/ the Sons of Veterans, Camp No.
10, of Lambertville. Besides his
parents two brothels surv re
him, George az ....l old, bot :

about seven years ago. The Rev.
| C. E. Radcliffe, pastor of the M.
E. church conducted the funeral
service at his late home, Mon
| day afternoon, Feb. 3rd. Inter-
ment was made in Riverview

The curfew rang some time
ago for unlicensed and stray
dogs in Bucks County. Now their
death has been sounded by the
State Police. State Police in the
County have received instruct
ions from the State to proceed
to kill every unlicensed dog in
the County and every stray dog
whether licensed or not. Accord
ing to the provisions of the law,
no dog may be at large except
under the control of its owner.
That portion of the law has-been
generally vilated, and as the re-
suit property owners who have
found dogs on their properties
have killed a number. But now
the State has taken steps to
annihilate all these unlicensed
and stray dogs, and the County
will instruct constables to kill
such dogs or face a prosecution
and fine. Action of this sort has
been taken by the State and
County on account of the great
damage done to live stock,
poultry and game by the dogs
allowed to run at large.

500 pounds, the second highest record
COW in the state, and the thirteenth
COW Of the breed. Aurelley is a very
large COW of perfect type and individ-
uality, and Mr. Klemm does not stop
for money when he sees something
good. Mr.. Capener is a. very young
man at the pure-bred cattle business,
being a breeder of Guernseys just six
years, but he used good judgment in
selecting his herd and undoubtedly
he knew Guernseys. He has an i'm

carefully arranged by the officers and

of destroying the fleet was by opening

making for the shore, the boats were
called to surrender Some ignored the
summons and were fired upon, few
casualties resulting.
The stroke apparently was a sur
prise, and the fist news reached Lon
don through correspondent who was
informed by farmers that they had
seen the German ships sinking.
The admiralty at first denied the
report, but later confirmed it. and
issued an official statement. The Ger
man officers and crews have been
made prisoners. None of the officials
last night would offer an opinion as to
how they are to he dealt with.
This will settle the question as co
what to do with the German fleet. The
English are blamed in a measure be-
cause the Teuton ships were not
guarded.
