MUSHROOMS CT ALL SORTS
Edible and Poisonous While One spe'
cies, Grown in Africa, Is Worshiped
as God.

In, or about the edges of woods one
occasionally comes across an unpleas-
aat-fooking umbrella-shaped mush-
room with a red or orange-colored top
tat is covered with Shiny emulation.
Now and then, strange to say, people
eat it. They die.
It's slime is very attractive to flies.
They gather upon it, and they die. In
Europe this species of mushroom is
used as a substitute for fly-paper.
The Notwithstanding "clathrus"
mushroom is believed in France to
cause cancer. French people call 1t
the cancer mushroom" Another spe-
ces, which grows on olive trees, is so
luminous at night that one can see to
read by 1t.
Other kinds of mushrooms are used
for making ink, for stanching the flow
of blood and lin Lapland) for killing
bedbugs.t A European species is en-
ployed to stupefy bees, and certain
"puffballs" are. said to have anes-
thetic properties. Tribes Of semi
savages in northeastern Asia utilize a
mushroom for snuff. But most curious
of all is the Polyporus sacer, which in
Africa is worshiped as god.-Pitts-

Community Club Meets.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Community Club" was held We'd
nesday evening in the New Hope Lii
brary Rooms. A goodly number of
citizens from Upper Wakefield, Sole
bury and New Hope were present and
freely expressed their desires in re-
CARDS to future school conditions. The
little RED School House" was gener-
ally condemned by every one as being
entirely inefficient. The question of
consolidation of the schools of the
three above named districts was dis
cussed and the methods by which it
might be effected. The proposition
of transportation to such a school is
the greatest stumbling block in the
minds of most of the very few who
may oppose such plan; However the
chairman, DR.. J. E. Scott having gone
over this problem in the past few
weeks, had been able to decide de-
finitely upon the number of routes
which would be necessary to provide
transportation for every child from
the most remote part of either Sole
bury or Upper Wakefield. Consequent
ly after very ably disclosing his
knowledge on this subject, all were of
the one mind that it can be done.
1t was generally conceded that the
costs of running a consolidated school
would be decidedly more economical
than running the schools in their
present form. 1t was pointed out that
New Hope with it's pupils all in one
building and under proper grading
has been able to give instruction to
approximately 200 students at cost
of about 100000; Upper Wakefield
is spending about 100000 to in
struct $50 students in the little "Red
school house" Solebury, about $11 900
to instruct a similar number in the
same way. A consolidated, "Voca-
tional school is the school which these
three progressive communities will
nave Wioiiil IiiS LCAt ySoi VI WV, VI
which the very few and disinterested
number of individuals who now may
oppose in secret, will after it's estab-
lishment feel proud with the rest of
us.
Mr.. Kerr, of New Hope, was pre-
sent and spoke most earnestly in favor
of the work being carried on by the
Club and urged that everything that
could be done to better school con-
ditions should be done without fail,
for it is heritage we owe to our
children Nh. Kn,rr ~cnnka uaru 0lnV5 |
ingly of the coming Chautauqua and
urged everyone to attend.
The work of remodeling the High |
school room is well under way. All
will be in readiness by the opening OF
school.

ity Club" will be held on the evening
of the second Wednesday of Septem-
Der. Let it be the duty of every mem
Der to invite and urge upon those who
have not yet attended meeting to

Contract awarded for Rosemont Road

The building of the Stockton Rose
mont road is now assured, the Della
ware Township Committee having
awarded the contract to Sigafoos &
Poore, of Riegelsville, for $21 ,996.48.
The bids, of which there were three
ran up to $4,000 for. the two miles
of highway to be built.
The new road will begin at the
northerly borough limits of Stockton,
passing through Bowdentown and
Rosemont village, and continuing to
the small bridge on the Kingwood
road, just north of the cemetery. 1t
is expected that the next move will
be the extension of the road to the
Kingwood Township line, a short dis
lance further, and that Kingwood
will continue the road eventually to
Baptistown, where it will connect with
the Observation-Disclosures road.
Another movement, to be started
soon, will be an extension of the road
eaSterly from RoSemont to Sergeants
vile and Ringoes, total distance of
seven miles.
This is the first improved highway,
under state aid, to be contracted for
in Delaware Township, although
several roads have been fought for
during the past ten years or more.
The new road is to be completed by
January 1, 1921, and it will give a
continuous hard road from this city
to Rosemont, nearly six miles. The
section between here and Stockton is
rough and bumpy, but it is under
stood that the township will repair it
soon.

SCOT as a pjsihfectant.

1t has been found that SCOT acts as
disinfectant and is more active moist
than dry. Water seems to dissolve the
d'sinfecting agents in the SCOT, making
them. more active. Carbon floating In
lhe'air seldom, if ever, carries bacteria
unless it has lodged on the ground and
is again blown into the air.
Now SCOT acts as a very. effective
blanket, protecting the bacteria and
giving them a chance TO grow. Dis
eases of the nose and throat are not
appreciably more prevalent in smoky
cities. but they are more severe and
harder to cure. This is probably due
rs much to the cracking of the mucous
membrane by the change from the dry
atmosphere in the houses to the moist
air outside and subsequent irritation
by dust and smoke.

Pennington Fair.

Flemington's biggest Fair will be
held August "a, rs, 26, 27. The
Pennington Fair Management is pro.
gressive and their aim has ALWAYS
been to make their Fair just little
more attractive to their patrons than
the preceding one. They arranged
far in advance, for their racing pro-
gram by opening two stake races for
purses of $1,000 each. The entries
closed early in the year and the stakes
are particularly well filled. All those
who made the first payment, made
the second payment. The next one
will be due just before the start of
the races.
In addition to this, many classy
events for the harness horses have
been opened for purses of $500 each,
making the entire sum to be given to
the horsemen, about $4,000. The run
ners also come in for a share of
these rich purses. The horses will
have control the first three days Of
the Fair and the track will be given
over entirely to them.
On Friday, the last day of the Fair,
the Automobile Races will interest the
crowds. There will be six of these in
number, ranging in distance from one
to twenty miles. Details will be given
later.
By coming early to the Fair, you
will have time to see the many exhib-
its in the different departments. There
will be an airoplane flight from the
infield each morning at 10 o'clock.
During the day, the same airoplane
that makes the flights, will take pass
engers for trips. Curtis machines
will be used, and the man in charge
will be careful and an experienced
ffier, who has clean record, never
having had a passenger injured while
in his care, and has made over 100
flights carrying passengers.
The Midway this year will be under
the management of James M. Benson
who the patrons of the Fair will re-
member as furnishing good clean
sport for the thousands VIII visited
the Midway at last years Fair.
No admission will be charged for
children under twelve years of age
throughout the week. Weekly tickets
will also be placed on sale with the
different business houses of Fleming
ton and the vicinity. The charge for
these weekly tickets will be $1.00 and
War Tax, which is twenty cents, total
$120, which will be good for admis-
sion at the gate all fallr- dasrs-nf thu
Fair, for the party whom issued. In
consideration of the price for which
these weekly tickets are sold, they
are positively not transferable, and
must not be presented for admission
by any person other than to whom
issued.
Many new features will be added
the different days of the Fair, and in
order to enjoy the entire program
offered, it will be necessary to go each
day, so make your arrangements &C
cordingly.
Watch these columns for new fea-
lures, which will be spoken of week
ly. Send for Entry Blanks, etc., at
the office of the Association, 81 Main
street, Pennington, N. j.

Women's Club Meets.

The regular meeting of the Women's
Club of New Hope, was held at the
Library Rooms on Wednesday even
ing, July 81.
Under the head of special business
it was suggested that the Correspond
ing Secretary send cards to the mem
bers previous to each regular meeting
announcing the time, place and sub
ject of the meeting, and that bulle-
tin be placed on the Library door and
bulletin board. The Chairman of the
Membership Committee proposed the
name of Mrs. Walter W. Ely, and
Mrs. Ely was unanimously elected.
Miss Margaret Turnbull spoke of
the educational and pleasurable value
of the movies and of the methods
used in making pictures. Just as the
educational value of the theatre is re-
cognized so is that of the movies be-
coming to be appreciated. They are
the more democratic institution for
here rich and poor are given the
same opportunity to see and learn
with no distinction as to seats. The
movies are much wider in scope than
the theatre, for they can show cur
rent events just as they happened and
almost Immediately after they have
bornanad This feature is one of the
greatest aids in Amerizanizing the
foreigner for it is the means of teach,
ing him facts of this country as vel
as easing his feeling of lonesomenes'
and homesickness by showing pictures

Do you Educate Your chiIdren7

Most parents provide for their chill
dren; some take personal care Of their
children: but few, indeed, are they who
can be forced TO take any part in the
education of their children, education
having become the business of schools,
factory process, turned over entirely
TO the public. Here and there is a sub
lime parent who plods doggedly over
the alphabet and the algebra, getting
an education for himself at this late
day; hut such are rare, the run Of par
ents putting their babes into the KIN

Incubator, while they themselves slip
