May Secure Industry.

The plans for securing a rolling
mill for Lambertville will be worked
out jointly by the Chamber of Com
merce and Lambertville Merchants
Association, according to the decision
reached at Monday nights joint meet
ing of the two organizations.
President Arnett, of the Chamber of
Commerce, whose representatives were
guests of the Merchants Association,
introduced the project, and Secretary
Hayhurst explained it in detail.
Apparently, about 100000 would
have to be raised locally, to be secured
by six per cent bonds covering plant
worth one and half times that
much. The company is also said to
have ample capital and banking con-
nections to carry on the business,
which would produce $4,000 tons of
steel and iron products per annum, on
a single shift, or 10000 on a double
shift, employing either 80 or164 men
in the plant.
Several details are to be worked out
before the project is put up to the
citizens of this city, and this the
joint committees will do at once, Sec
rotary Hayhurst having begun nego-
tiations yesterday looking to that end,
upon behalf of the Chamber of Com
merce.
While the amount to be raised
seems large, yet in comparison with
the million and a half dollars raised
here during the past two years for
war securities and charities, it is
mere bagatelle.

To the Editor of the Record:

To the Editor of the Record:
Dear Sir:
l would be glad if you would be
willing to publish the following addi-
tions and corrections to my open
letter of last week which you so kind
ly published:
One name was wrongly given by
me, the name of Mrs. Charles Rocks,
who volunteered time and valuable
services in the cleaning of the
Holcombe Building.
Acknowledgment should be made of
the work of Mr.. John Lambert in the
preparation of the list of automobile
owners in the District. Also of the
kindness of Mr.. Harry E. VanHorn
in the loan Of his typewriter for the
use of the Committee Records during
the Campaign. And in the kindness
of Mrs. William Lily and DIR. Charles
E. Wagg in lending their automobiles
to the Committee in two emergencies.
Two additional German helmets
were received this last week from
New York by the Chairman, and were
awarded to the second highest in
dividual subscriber, Mr.. George W.
Arnett, and to the Canvasser receiving
the highest number of subscriptions.
This proved to be team of men who
had canvassed together and the helm
ct was accordingly awarded to them
both, Messrs. Charles B. Wood, and
Comfy Sine. The Chairman wishes
without any reflection on the splendid
services of the many others to call
attention to the work done by Mr..
Charles B. Wood, who not only himself
canvassed but also was captain of a
district interviewed all the merchants
of the town on the subject of window
decoration, helped in the selected re-
canvass, solicited on Saturday after
noon personally all the automobile
owners of the cityfor their presence in
the Auto Parade, and in the last few
days of the Campaign in the absence
of the Chairman volunteered himself
and brought to successful conclusion
the Factory Canvass in two mills.
Thanking you, believe me,
Very Truly Yours,
Theron Lee,
Chairman Lambertville District

Play a Big Success.

The Lambertyille High School
/ Senior Class play, "The Camouflage
of Shirley" given in st. Andrews
hall Friday evening was not only a
complete success, but hundreds were
turned away, and the play was repeat
ed on Wednesday evening to accommo-
date those who missed it this time.
Every part was well played, with
never hitch from start to finish, and
at the close President Edwin
Pendleton, Of the Senior Class, and
the Captain Clay Calhoun" of the
play, presented magnificent bouquet
of roses to Miss Alice Cunningham, a
teacher in the schools, for the part
she had in coaching the players prior
to the event itself, Presents were also
given to Abraham Boletsky, the stage
manager, and of the senior class, and
to Supervising Principal John H.
Herring, Of the local schools.
Rose Ennis, as "Molly," a waitress,
with sorrow, was star who could
have done credit to a professional
troupe. Edwin Pendleton, the young
captain whom Shirley engaged herself
to without consulting him, performed
the part of bored and Lewilcered
young officer to perfection.
George Arnett, as Lieutenant
William Joseph Wayne" the young
bridegroom, bore his troubles with the
gloom and despair that made his part
inimitable, while Ruth Slack, playing
the part of Annette Richmond
Wayne" his bride, worried over her
Billy Joe and generally stirred up
trouble as all her friends lin the play
felt sure she would.
Trudeau Salmon as the German
captain and spy had an unpopular
part that required good acting, and
he fulfilled it to perfection, while
Margaret Mcnamara, who was his
American aide, turned gloriously in
to patriotic French girl at the
crucial moment. her faint,ng spell
was a clever piece of acting that
startled the audience.
Alice Ledger, Margaret English,
Grace Kerr and Ruth Gaskill were
all friends of the bridegroom and
bride who busted themselves in
number of things that kept both
Shirley and her Captain fiance in
hot water.
Kenneth Massey started out as
Stacker and ended up as volunteer
soldier, making a good showing in
his part Of the easy going young
man who could do things when a.,
reused Horace Redfield, James
Hayes, Marvin Stevenson and Albert
Reading were guests Of the others,
and did their parts as escorts at
various stages of the play.
Mildred Holcombe made the hit of
the evening as"Bettina, 1.-THE younger
sister, who explained lot of things
that caused the gallant captain heart
burnings until Shirley explained them
more, and who did little love making
on her own behalf.
Nora Emery as the brides mother,
had a perfectly lovely time explain
ing to a house full of dance guests
just how an imaginary series of ac-
cidents kept part of the family away
from the hop, while "Billy-Jo" was
kept under her thumb to substantiate

Still clinging to the first theory that
Cooper. probably met his death at the
hands of a blockade runner or sew
eral Nashville bootleggers, the au-
thorities today examined several other
alleged liquor peddlers. A woman,
whose name the police refused to re-
veal, was summoned to headquarters
late this afternoon and rigidly ques-
toned by detectives. They said they
we're seeking to ascertain the where

SUCCESSFUL COVER
CROP CAMPAIGNS

Clemson College, Sept. 9.-Cover
crop campaigns have been conducted
in several South Carolina counties re-
Gently with fine results. In Newberry
county six school district meetings
were held to interest farmers in grow
ing more clover and starting alfalfa
These were attended by 88 farmers, 81
of whom ordered alfalfa and clover
seed and ground lime. County Agent
Mills says: 81 find that farmers are
becoming disgusted with fodder pull
ing as means of getting roughage
and only wait to be shown a subst-
tute. One or two acres of alfalfa to
the mule on each farm will deal
death blow to fodder pulling"
In Greenville County the clover
campaign resulted IN ordering II 900
pounds of crimson clover seed for
fifty-odd farmers who have not be-
fore planted clover, thus doubling the
number Of farmers planting clover and
more than doubling the acreage in the
county.
In Chester County farmers have
bought two cars of rye seed for cover
crops to turn under in the dough stage
as green manuring, many farmers
who used rye last year having declar-
ed that rye had increased their cotton
yields 25 per cent up.
In Fairfield County $50 tons of lime
and 5000 pounds Of alfalfa seed have
been ordered already and orders are
still being made.
In Abbevillc County a two-day drive
for alfalfa resulted in.securing twenty
new alfalfa farmers, who will plant
alfalfa by close following of the
county agents thoro preparation
rules.
