Some people have consciences like
soft, leather chairs. They let them
down easy.
When the sun smiles thru the
clouds after a storm it shames us
whining so long after our troubles are
over.

We are glad that the people of
Lambertyille are not as "hard boiled'
as some of our streets.
There was an old bird about town
Who wore such a dignified frown
That when he passed out
Saint Peter devout
Gave him crab for a crown.
HE that tooteth not his own horn
the same shall not be footed" says an
old Southern wheeze. But some peo-
pie toot so loud they can't hear their
conscience footing.
When someone tells you a lie and
you know it, don't contradict them.
Just smile. That smile will make
them imagine more things than you
could ever think to tell them.

Somebody asked US the other day
how many states there are in the
Union. And we said "forty eight.
Then they said: swell that would
leave forty seven governors
But we haven't the heart to finish it.

With this experience Mr.. Cooper
plans to develop the RECORD and
NEWS as rapidly as possible. Be-
ginning with this issue he starts a
column on the Editorial page which
will always bear the heading,
"SMILIN' THRU" This will con-
tain bits of verse, humor aid philoso-
ply. $3.50
Mr.. Cooper graduated from Mercer
University. in the spring of 1915. In
the following fall he went to Boston,
Mass. to continue his studies in spec
ialized subjects of language, litera-
ture and public speaking. In addition
to this he was connected with one of
the Boston Colleges in interviewing
registrants in Vocational Guidance"
After coming to Trenton he was APP
preached by the School of Industrial
Arts to conduct such work at their
institution.
When war was declared Mr.. Cooper
enlisted with Harvard Ambulance
Unit No, IL (afterward changed to
S. S. U. 512) This unit was immed-
lately attached to the French Army.
While in the Vosge Mountains Mr..
Cooper was infected with the Tetanus
germ and developed pleurisy from
severe exposures. All of which was
aggravated by occasional exposures
to gas. So after nine months of SER
vice in France he was invalided home
with the cheerful information that he
would not last twelvee months.
However, the previous life of good
health which Mr.. Cooper had enjoyed
enabled him to "come back" to such
an extent that when he arrived at the
Lakewood, N. J hospital he was so
thoroughly convaleescent that he was
not even sent to bed. And when the
government began the organization of
educational work among army hos
pital patients, Mr.. Cooper started the
first class at Lakewood.
The many war drives which were
afterwards carried on over the
United States created demand for
overseas speakers. Mr.. Cooper's
training in public speaking and the
wealth of his experience with the
French Army admirably fitted him
for such work. He spoke under the
direction of the American Red Cross,
American Library association, Y. M.
C. A., Y. w. C. A. the Fourth Liberty
Loan and various clubs and private
organizations thruout New Jersey
and adjoining states. During the fall
of 1918 he delivered lectures under
the direction of the New Jersey De-
partment of Agriculture to the
Oranges in nearly every county in the
state. Lambertville people who at
tended the Trenton Fair in 1918 may
remember Mr.. Cooper as the Sergeant
Cooper who spoke to the crowds in
the Grandstand on October 3rd. Tren-
ton papers carried accounts of this
together with his photograph.
During these activities Mr.. Coopers
headquarters We're at Lakewood where
continued his activities in the educa-
tional department of the army. He
organized and published a weekly
paper at the hospital called the
"STIMULANT." This was continued
after his discharge in February 1919

Something Worth Seeing.

For tourists who drive through the
Catskill mountains of New York state,

Whisky Called water Of Lie. /,

The art of distilling liquors is first
mentioned by Albukassen, an Arabian
physician who lived in the tenth CEN
fury. Whisky, "a potable spirit dis
titled from cereal grains," probably
originated in Ireland, and its Celtic
name was uisgebetha (water of life)
afterward contracted to usquebaugh
and then to whisky. 1t was known as
usquebaugh in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries both In Ireland
and Scotland,

Lambertville Public School Notes

.
The enrolment for the Term be-
ginning September First will be con-
siderably larger than in any previous
year. The indications are that the
High School enrolment will be very
large.
We are DESTROYS that all scholars
of high school age will return to
school. See to it that your children
take advantage of the standard
courses Of study offered. Encourage
them to pursue the work that they
are most capable of following.
Let US not be too busy or thought
less to teach our children how to
work or cultivate in them, as did our
forebears the zest for and sportsman
like attitude toward work.
Idle hours, fine clothes, social
events, and movies are all united in
tossing sons and daughters down the
rapids of unsupported appetites and
helpless inefficiency.
Parents all too often through neg
lect, false pride, or poor judgement
protect their children from work,
over patronize them and then in later
life rue the day because their off
spring turn out as they do.
Let US remember that thrift and in
.dustry are much needed virtues. Let
US not merely talk about earning,
saving and investing, but rather help
our young folks to discover the best
ways and aid them in getting started.
And along with all this encourage
ment let us remember to teach them
with all thy getting get understand
ing" To know how we can save and
invest ones self as well as ones
material possessions for the good of
humanity is the principal thing.
Let US change the spirit to one of
service and production. Let US pop
ularize hard work.

A SONG OF LIFE.
Life is bar of music
With a rise, swell, a fall,
A note of awe, note of fear,
With a note of hope thru all.
| And then a lifting note of joy
That blends with sombre peace
Then swells out in triumph song
And ends with note of grief. isle
Tho my hope must blend with fear,
And grief must mar my peace,
want it all, the finished song,
Ere my song of life shall cease
/ want to live, want to die,
But ere 1 lay me down,
l want the joy of work well done
To be my only crown.

We are to have the south half of the old mineral building at the State Fair grounds, so plenty of room will be or fered our displays, which will be aug mented by material showing what is being done in. other states in the union, and for our program of speech es, dancing and other things being planned by those in charge" /

For the first time since last, May silver metal was quoted above $1 an ounce during the month of August. Foreign silver was quoted at $1.01 3-4 on August 20. Quotation at London was 63 3-4d. Yesterday the white metal was again down, 94 IA cents being the quotation for the foreign mined product, but the offerings were so small that dealers are encouraged to the belief that the metal will soon be stabilized at $1 or better again.
 Only recently Director of the Mint Baker, in commenting on conditions in tha precious metal market, said that the decline in silver was due to Hull in buying from China and India, but that he believed it would prove only temporary. Demand for silver continues large from the arts and for use in photography.
 If the recovery in silver to above the dollar mark proves lasting it will have an important bearing upon the market, as it will mean that pro- ducers in the United States will again sell their product in the general mar ket and cease making sales to the director of the mint at the fixed price of $1 an ounce as established by the Pittman silvep act. The director of the mint made his initial purchase of silver under the Pittman act on June IT, last, when he bought 100000 ounces. Since then purchases have been made almost daily and the total purchased to date approximates H. DOC, ,000 ounces. The secretary of the treasury announced last June that the department was ready to purchase 207, 100000 ounces under the Pittmah act, so that 196,00O,OOO ounces re- mained to be purchased.
 A Spectacular Slump.
 Silver metal had spectacular slump last June. The high price in recent years was the $1.37 1-2 touch ed last November, being we'll above the gold parity point of the American silver dollar, which is $1,2929 and within fraction of the parity of sub- sidiary silver, which is s1.38 pei ounce. Buying from China continued heavy all during last January and the price held above the $1.30 mark the entire month, at one time being quoted around $1.36 3-4.
 In February the metal again sold as high as $1.35 1-2 and held above the $1.30 mark during the month.
 Big Drop in March
 In March first signs of weakness were manifest, the price dropping from $1.31 3-4 on March to SLY on March 12, but recovering to SIPS 1-2 by the end of the month. In April the price held above $1.15, but in May weakness again set in and the price fell under $1 around the end of the month. About a week later the break came rapidly, silver being quot ed on June 2 at 94 1-2 cents, June 8 at 84 cents and on June at 81 cents, a decline of 13 1-2 cents in two days. The decline was due to a cessation of buying from China, India and Japan owing to adverse conditions in those
