An epidemic of measels and mumps
besides other serious illness in Hat
boro, has caused the Board of Health

no session on Sunday and all amuse-
ment places not to allow any children
in under 16 years of age.

Hunterdon County Banks

The assets of the twelve banks of
Hunterdon County, according to the
latest reports, are approximately
$9,O00,000, of which about one-third
is represented by the two banks of
this city, and $6,S65,814 belongs to
the five banks in the southern section
of the county, the remaining seven
holding about $2,134,00O.
The total loans and discounts each
$4,000,00O, of which approximately
one-third is held by the banks of this
city. The largest amount of loans
and discounts made by any one bank
in the county is that of the Lambert
vile National, s9O6, ,792.67, which is
still $638, ,348.23 less than the total
assets of the institution.
The two Lambertville banks. Am
well National and Lambertville
National, have total loans and dis
counts of $1,379, 9,457.55, which shows
good active business movements To-
cally, against $999, ,154.62 for the two
Pennington banks which serve IN
the territory extending from this city
to Clinton or Whitehouse, twenty
two miles north, and from Somerville
to Frenchtown or Milford, twenty
eight miles west.
Despite Hunterdon's standstill DO
pulation for some years past, due to
the exodus to more urban counties,
its wealth has steadily increased, es-
pecially in banking assets and num-
Ger Of institutions Not many coun-
ties have one bank to every 1888 of
population; in fact, no other county
in the state, so far as known. Even
prosperous Mercer only has one bank
ing house to each 10000 or so of
population, and many of the counties
have even less.

Oil and Stone Bids

Asphaltic road oil will cost Hunter
don County 13.49c. per gallon for its
1920 supply if it accepts the bid of
the Earl-Lansdell Company, which
was the lowest submitted at yester-
days meeting of the Board of Free
holders in Pennington Decision will
be given next Thursday.
There were many bidders, the
amounts running all the way up to
27c. per gallon, depending upon
specifications and quantity, but the
next nearest to the Hackensack con-
cern bid 15c., or Isle per gallon
higher, which is neat figure when
considered in 100000 gallon lots, or
more.

O'Brien Leaves Gas Company

Charles O'Brien, who has acted as
local manager for the New Jersey
Northern Gas Company for year
past, severed his connection with
them last week and left for West
Chester, Pa, where he was formerly
located. Mr.. O'Brien made MANY
friends for himself and the company,
while here, through his courteous
dealings with the public and pains
taking afforts to furnish real service.
Charles w. Rose, who was with the
company for many years, and is
known to everybody locally, has been
secured by the company to fill Mr..
O'Brien's place. 1t was thought, last
week, that both Mr.. O'Brien and Mr..
Rose would be kept here, as there is
enough work for both, and the combi-
nation would have made many friends
for the company.

As God thinks of us so He would
have US think of others. Lent is a
time for prayer not only or chiefly
for ourselves but for other men-our
friends, our companions. How rich
privilege it is to call them by name,
as we kneel at home or in Church,
and ask for them the blessings they
need. God answers such prayers.

PRESIDENT CONTINUES WAR
In Hope Of Forcing Treaty Through
SAYS Knox.

Washington, d. c.. May 5.--Opening
debate on his resolution to declare the
state of war with Germany and Aus
tria at an end, Senator Knox, Republi-
can, Pennsylvania, declared in the SEN
ate today that President Wilson was
arbitrarily maintaining that the ma
tion technically was at war in order 10
coerce the Senate into ratification Of
the treaty of Versailles.
There was no excuse whatsoever
for greatly prolonging the war beyond
the signature Of the armistice," Sena-
tor Knox said, and the only explana-
tion for so doing was the deliberate
aim to retain all these autorcatic com.
pulsory powers with which the execu-
tive had been endowed for the prose.
cution Of the war in order that they
might be used for other purposes.
THE welfare and safety of the ma
tion imperatively demands that we
know we have peace. The whole world
aeethes with revolution. Our own ma
ton is in ferment and toll. Force and
strife are rampant and threaten the
destruction not only Of our property,
but of our free institutions, and even
of our lives. And yet we stand, and
have stood, for months as a rudderless
ship, laundering in the trough Of tre-
mendous seas

JOHNSON
COMBINE MAY
START SOME ETH|NC
May Be Able to Control the
Chicago Convention
HOOVER AND HARDING OUT
Primary Results Thought to Leave
Situation Favorable to Dark
Horse.

Washington, May 5.--Californias S
smashing majority for Senator Hiram
Johnson (CaD. in his contest with
Herbert Hovoer and Maj.Gen.
Woods plurality in Indiana, where
Senator Johnson, Gov. Lowden QlD
and Senator Harding (Ohio) ran sec
ond, third and fourth respectively in
yesterdays primary elections, have
thrown new light upon the Republican
Presidential race. Tonight political
leaders are summing up the situation
about as follows:
Senator Harding and Mr.. Hoover
have been virtually eliminated as
possibilities. Having failed to get
"a solid delegation from his home
State, Senator Harding has made the
poorest showing of all the other candi
dates in the adjacent State of Indiana,
after having nowhere else figured SER
iously in the primary results. Mr.
Hoover has lost his home state in a
greater defeat than even his opponent
dared hope.
Gen. Wood, Senator Johnson and
Gov. Lowden are now apparently as
sured of holding the place of leaders of
the field when the convention opens in
Chicago, but none of them will have a
majority of the delegates on the first
ballot Only by combinations among
themselves, or with unrestricted dele
cations, can any one of the three hope
to win
"The chance for the nomination of
a dark horse has been greatly increas-
ed. for the simple reason that none
of the early leaders have been killed
off by the various primary results or
is left strong enough to precipitate a
rreal deadlock.
Senator Knox, (Pa) remains after
the Indiana and California primaries
the most likely dark horse chiefly
because of the friendship of Senator
Johnson for him and the fact that his
views on the Wilson foreign policies
coincide with those of many other
Republicans, Old Guard men as well
as liberals"
Senator Knox at the moment looms
as the man who literally has had pow
er thrust into his hands, Ii was
observed today that, whether he likes
II or not, the prominence suddenly
given to him as a Presidential posi-
bility has placed in his possession an
authority that he could not possibly
have foreGeen.
