A. T. Herd Buys More Land

The acquisition of the Hugh W.
Kitchener farm, in the western part of
New Hope borough, by Anderson t.
Herd, the New York financier, who
conducts the famous Herdlea Farms
in Solebury Township, brings that
magnate's holdings up to around
1000 acres of the best farm land in
this section of Bucks County.
1t is believed that Mr.. Herd will al
so obtain the Eastburn Reeder home
stead farm adjoining the Kitchener
place, and for which an agreement has
been made by Mrs. Charles Janney,
agent for the heirs, to sell to James
Slater. Mr.. Slater has, it is under
stoed, made an offer for the other
Eastburn Reeder farm, located at
at Reeder Station, and extending to
New Hope Borough.
With Mr.. Herd in possession of the
Reeder farm. be mill have an unhro-
ken line of holdings from the York
Road in this borough to Solebury
Village, and also for more than a
mile to the southwest of that village.
The Reeder homestead farm was
formerly under option for consider
able time to certain virifled brick in
terests, who planned to use the shale
underlying the soil in making paving
material. The Huffnagle Farm at
Huffnagle Station, in this borough,
was, however, purchased by the brick
people and several thousand dollars
expended there in the fall of 1913;
but the place has been idle since that
time.

A word to Parents! Many of you
are content to leave your religious
duties to your children. As long as
your children are sent to Sunday
School you think you are doing your
duty to God and your family. But
remember, friends, it is example that
counts. Your boy, who never sees
you in the House of God, is growing
up with the idea that as soon as he
gets big enough he will do like father,
stay at home and read the Sunday
paper The girl is moulding her ideas
on the conduct of her mother, and
later on will always have excuses for
not attending Divine worship. If you
want your children to grow up God
loving citizens of this great Nation,
set them the example right now by
being in your place at worship next
Sunday Example counts!
