New Community House

The Sergeantsville M. E. Church
has the hotel on it's hands, and is
seeking the views of the citizens as
to the best disposition to make of it
Jacob X. Wilson decided the property
to the trustees of the church on March
81, for a very small consideration
he and Mrs. Wilson moving to anoth-
er property they had purchased il
the village.
1t has been the aim of the Rev
John M. Jaqueth, pastor of the church
to turn it into a community build
ing, and plans are being considered
but the pastor is now asking for pub
lie opinion as to whether this should
be done, or the place rented for sum.
mer boarders.
The hotel stables have been oper
to the public for more than half cen
tury until a few months ago wher
Mr.. Wilson decided to retire and a
greed to sell the property to the
church. Mr.. Jaqueth is now sending
out a QUESTIONABLE, and the trend Of
the answers may have much to dc
with the ultimate disposition of ths
property.

Hunterdon County P. t. AS

On Friday, April 10TH an all-day
P. T. A. meeting will be held in the
Pennington High School. Every one
of the forty-seven P. T. AS of the
County is urged to send large dele
cation. Even if your Association
was disorganized through the winter,
come. Every person interested in edu-
cation is cordially invited. A strong
program just along P. T. A. lines has
been planned.
Mrs. Frederick Schoff, President of
the National Congress of Mothers
and P. T. AS will give an address
'suoIssnosIp III 9Isd sHB1 pue
Mrs. Drury Cooper, President of
N. j. c. M. and P. T. AS will bring
greetings from the State Congress.
Mrs. Cooper is successful mother of
eight children. Every mother who
makes an effort to come and meet her
personally will be glad

physiological tests made on children.
Now that these tests are rapidly COM
ing into all rural schools every par
ent and P. 7. A. member wants to
know about them. Hear DIR. McCallie

fully interesting.

financial help for rural school IL
braries and the practical use of books.
County Superintendent Hoffman will
bring county message.
The greatest educational force of
the world is said to be the moving
picture. The eye is the keenest sense.
1t seems like a dream that the moving
picture can be had in the most re-
mote school; pictures that make
geography, history, nature study and
literature real and vital to the child.
But Miss Turnoy will show the
dreams come true" Don't miss
knowing of this moving picture idea,
just because it is one great step in
American progress.
Coffee and ice cream may be ord
cred to complete your box lunch. So
many good things on the program
we can't take time for regular din
ner
This meeting was scheduled for
February but the weather interfered.
The true P. T. A. spirit is "Try again"
hitch our wagon to star and keep
our seat.
Forty seven Associations! Can't it
be forty-eight and all represented on
Anil 10Th, one for each star of the
Flag? Then our National President,
Mrs. Schoff, can tell others of Hun
terdon's "Uncle Sam" Associations

Brick Company Plans

The American Clay Products Com
pany, which expects to erect one o.
the mammoth paving brick concern!
of the country at New Hope, has pur
chased the John Short farm, on ths
York road just west Of the borough
and connecting up with the two East
burn Reeder farms and the Hugh
Michener farm, recently purchased
This latest acquisition, which fol
three quarters of a century was ir
the Kitchin family of Solebury, and
known as the John Kitchin farm
gives the company more than 40C
acres of shale land, which is especially
adapted to the making of vitrified
bricks, reaching from Reeder station
on the South to the northwest corner
of New Hope borough on the North
The brick concern is now the second
largest landowner in Solebury Town
ship, Anderson T. Herd leading with
more than 1000 acres. Mr.. Herd ex-
pected to purchase one of the Reeder
farms and that of Hugh Michener,
but the brick company "beat him to
it,
They will be ready to start con-
struction work as soon as the Reading
Railway officials decide upon the
switch entrance to the former Reeder
farm, at Reeder station.
The railroads surveying corps is ex-
pected to make the preliminary sur
veys this week. It will be necessary
to know the location that can be Sc
cured for the siding before grading
begins, and it is desirable that the
track actually be completed before
the machinery and equipment is
brought ~in, as the saving in expense
and time will amount to more than
the cost of the siding.

Druggist Retires

After fifty years in the drug busi-
ness in Lambertville, George M. Sha-
malta, one of the best known pharma-
cists in Hunterdon County, retires
today Thomas j. Scarf, register
ed pharmacist from Trenton, with
fifteen years experience, has purchas-
ed the business from Mr.. Shamalia
and will continue it.
Mr. Shamalia has reached three
score and ten, although still active
and energetic. He entered the drug
business in this city in June, 1870,
and has been at it continuously since,
as we'll as having been actively in
terested in many of the towns affairs.
He will continue to reside here, and
for a time, at least, will continue in
charge of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company's office, which is To-
Gated in his building. In point of
years he has been in the same busi-
ness longer than any other Lambert
vile citizen now living.

Stockton-Rosemont Road

The macadam road from Stockton
borough to Rosemont, is now said to
be assured, the states approval of
the work having been given, under
the township road act providing for
such construction.
Efforts are now being made to Sc
cure, either as a gift or at small cost
the stone walls that line the road
most of the way between the two
towns, with view to keeping down
the cost of the foundation work.
The new road will be about two
miles in length, and will lie wholly in
Delaware Township, beginning at the
Wichecheoke Creek, at the Stockton
borough line, and ending at the east
erly end of Rosemont village.
A movement to extend this road
from Rosemont to Sergeantsville will
probably be made after the proposed
section is under way, and if success
full it would give this f1ourishing
village an outlet over good roads.
The distance from Sergeantsville to
Stockton via Rosemont, is about a
mile further than by the direct road
but its building seems more likely

Old Commissioners Will Run

The present Lambertville city com.
missioners, Mayor Theodore Balder-
ston, Andrew Foltz and Samuel w
Cochran, have at last decided that
they will be candidates for re-elec-
tion at the expiration of their pres
ent term, which expires on Nav 18,
and for which an election will be
held May IL.
This makes nine or ten definitely
recognized candidates for the office.
with several more suggested by in
terested friends. Edward J. Moon
an, former Councilman Hervey S.
Holcombe, former Freeholder A. Will
son Muirheid, Augustus Blackwell
aspirants for the office, and former
Councilman Charles Holcombe has
been urged by his friends to make the
run. DR.. Frank w. Larson, former
member of the city council and for
years actively interested in politics,
is said to be probable candidate.
Former Prosecutor Walter F. Hay
hurst has been urged as a possibility
by his friends, but has made no an
nouncement, and probably will not
enter the field at all unless strongly
urged. Former Councilman Fred. A..
Woodward has been suggested, as he
made good run in 1916, when the
present commissioners were elected,
but Mr.. Woodward himself has ex-
pressed no intentions in the matter.
He is an active member of the Board
of Education, in which he is much in
terested, and his entry into the COM
missionership race would necessitate
his withdrawing from that branch
of the city government.
The present commissioners have an
nounced no platform, but will probab-
ly content themselves by running on
their three and half years record,
which has been period of readjust-
ment in the whole country, and they
have faced and met many difficult
problems.
There doesn't appear to be any
special issue among the candidates at
this time, it being largely a matter
of personality.

The funeral of Elisha Holcombe,

Solebury Farmers Club

Fouitry was the main subject dis
cussed at the April meeting of the
Solebury Farmers Club, held Satur-
day evening at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Reuben P Ely, just north of
New Hope borough.
Reuben P. Ely said no matter what
the breed, it paid to have it pure bred
stock. He preferred the Leghorns
as their product brought higher re-
turns in the New York market, which
market he considered the best for
price, and white eggs were wanted
there. In pure bred stock, larger
egg secured and more uniformity
which were factors of Importance to-
ward getting highest prices.
The best way of raising baby
chicks, Mrs. E. NJ Johnson thought
largely individual but to keep them
warm of greatest Importance as a
chilled chick was usually dead one.
At the start, to feed grit and little
chick feed. That focks Of 250 could
be raised without much trouble to
keep the youngsters warm.
An electric light in the hen house,
Edward M. Paxson thought they
were help to greater egg yield dur
ing the months of November and De-
cember, when prices are high and
when it was not easy to keep the hens
at work. But that hen could lay
only so many eggs ayear and at this
time the electric lights would not be
the means of producing above nor
NAL. E. NJ johnson who has had
electricity installed said he would
prefer to report when the year was
up, but that he felt the benefit of
great value in November and De-
cember when prices were high.
AS to the best three breeds for
general purpose food E. C. Frampton
suggested the Plymouth Rocks, White
Wyandottes and R. l. Reds and wheat
straw best for litter.
C. V. Ely spoke on the best type of
house, and that he thought glass
windows better than curtains, though
glass and curtains might be used with
good effect. He used brooder stove
with rocking CRATE, chestnut coal
giving best results. He also advo-
Gated wooden floors.
Mrs. Edward Blackfan called at
tention to the League of Women Citi-
zens which held it's first meeting in
New Hope, and extended a general
invitation to women to join. Mrs.
Annie Ramsey suggested men would
be welcome if they felt they needed
to be instructed in civics. Mrs.
Blackfan, one of the delegates, also
reported on the community meetings
of the Hatboro Neighbors and Hors
ham Farmers Club, stating that the
paper, Relation of Farm Organiza-
tions to Community Life" Written
by the president of the Solebury Far
mers' Club, Mrs. c. B. Price, be pub
lished and motion was made and
carried to that effect.
The club journal was very inter
esting and read by Mrs. C. j. Roller.
A new committee for next three
meetings was appointed, consisting of
Mrs. S. NJ. Paxson, Mrs. D. A. Daven-
port, Mrs. w. W. Ely, DR.. Alvarez
and C. V. Ely.
The club was pleasantly entertain
ed by the stories told by Miss Darl-
ing, of New Hope.
Mrs. Annie Ramsey reported that
she had letter of thanks from the
deceased club baby's mother, regard
ing the clubs generosity in forward
ing the money to the mother for ex-
penses.
The club adjourned to meet at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. George H. Ely
