The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an exam
nation for the County of Bucks, Pa.

u. S. JAP HARMONY
In VIEW

Diplomatic settlement of the vari-
Gus questions pending between the
United States and Japan. without the
necessity of submitting any of them
to the council of the League Of Ma
lions or any other international body,
is near at hand, according to Wash
ington dispatches. Secretary of State
Hughes and Ambassador Shidehara
have been negotiating to this end,
treating the disputes as an integral
problem. If an agreement is reached,
it is understood, the cable privileges
on zap will be internationalized.
though Japan may still control the
island under her mandate. The basis
for settlement of the immigration is
sue probably will be that of a
strict exclusion of the Japanese la
boring class and adequate protection
for japanese property rights already
acquired in the United States. 1t is
believed Japan will promise to get out
of the province of Shantung, China, as
soon as practicable. What her atti-
tude may be concerning Siberia and
the northern half of Saghalien Is not
yet known.

PEACE VOTE

The house of representatives, as
was expected, adopted the Porter
resolution declaring war with Ger
many and Austria terminated. The
vote was 305 to 81, 40 Democrats join
ing the Republicans on the final roll
call The senate absolutely refused
to accept this substitute for the Knox
resolution, and the prospects were ex-
cellent for long deadlock In confer
ence. 1t may well be that such de-
lay would quite suit the plans of the
administration, but President Harding
is taking no part in the dispute. The
objection of the house to the senate
resolution is that to repeal the decla-
ration Of war might be taken to mean
that congress repudiated the action of
the government in entering the war.
The senators take the position that
the constitutionality of the Porter
resolution may be questioned and that
this might open the way to ceaseless
litigation. They assert that the power
of congress to assume the functions
of a treaty-making body and declare
the war at an end may be open to at
tack in the courts.

SOLEBURY FAR
MERS UP-TO-DATE

New Hope The Solebury Farmers
Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
George H. Ely on Saturday evening,
June IS, on the lawn.
This session followed the Field Day
program arranged the previous meet
ing, and the president called upon the
various assignees for their reports.
VIM. W. Hurley had visited c. J.
Rollers dairy finding the equipment
complete and the ventilating we'll
done. The Holstein herd is very uni
form in size, very large, and well
marked, showing careful breeding.
All the cows are descendants of Holl-
and stock of 1874.
Edw Kinsey, Jr., told of his visit to
Carol B. Prices new barn. 1t contains
cow stalls and three horse stalls,
There are at present four COWS and
two heifers. The equipment is up to
date and excellent, including run
ming water in drinking cups in the
COW stalls.
Mr.. Price had inspected Mr. Kin
sey's barn on two different occasions,
and gave a most enthusiastic report of
what he found there 1t is the cleanest
barn, showing no neglect for field
work. The cement runways are alb
solutely smooth so that they are
easier kept clean than those finished
rough. There are no drinking cups be-
cause Mr.. Kinsey believes in the
theory that cows are better for the
exercise of going out to the yard to
drink. The stables are very light, win
dows on three sides. well ventilated
also. There is thoroughbred sire at
the head of the herd. The milk sells
at a premium. This is probably due
to the cleanliness of the barn at all
times. The herd has doubled in size
since Mr.. Kinsey has been operating
the dairy, and this shows an increased
productivity of the farm SOIL
Several members spoke of the Hol-

stein meeting held at c. J. Rollers
place, and of the Guernsey Dairymen's
Association at Mr.. Vasey's. All urged
farmers to be careful to attend these
meetings as the opportunity offered
there for amateur judging of cattle
is most valuable in that one is able
to learn why the COW one chooses as
the best is the best and further tech
meal points in picking good animal.
The amateur Judge often can name
the best but when asked for his rea-
son falls down on technique. 1t mat
tiers not whether ones herd be Hol-
stein or Guernsey, one can learn
points from either association that
will be helpful.
Edward R. Johnson's poultry had
been visited by A. H. Barrett who
sent his report. He noted three hat
ehes of chicks, some four or five thou
sand, but said Mr.. Johnson had not
had as successful growth of the
chicks as other years, though his care
had been the same. There has been
a great. deal of trouble caused by
stacking, probably due to the warm
days and excessively cool nights. He
has three laying houses 80 TT, AZ IT.,
and 80 fit. respectively, all in excell-
ent condition. Mr.. johnson markets

ENGLISH JAPAN
TREATY

The British imperial conference,
which is in session in London this
week, planned to take up almost the
first thing the matter Of renewing the
Anglo-Japanese treaty. Prime Min
listers SHUTS of South Africa, Hughes
of Australia and Massey of New Zea-
land all have declared publicly that
the pact must not be renewed unless
it is agreeable to the United States.
Premier Meighan of Canada, if he is in
accord with public opinion in the Do
mnion, will oppose any renewal of
the treaty. 1t is believed In London
diplomatic circles that the question
may be finally solved by the forma-
ton of Pacific triple entente-Great
Britain. the United States and Japan.

HUNTERDON FINAN-
CIAL STATEMENT
STILL UNPUBLISHED

Lambertville- Taxpayers of Hunter
don County are asking more frequent
ly every day What is the matter with
the Financial Statement of the Board
of Freeholders ?" And because the law
provides for the publication of the
statement in the newspapers of the
county, every newspaper editor is
constantly being asked the above ques-
ton. But the editors know no more
about it than the average reader.
Notification was mailed each news
paper in the county December 9th.
last year just exactly six months ago.
asking for the number of statements
each paper could use. It was supposed
that the Statement would be ready for
publication as usual in February. But
it has not been forthcoming.
The best information obtainable is
very meagre. 1t is said that the state
ment prepared by County Auditor
Shinn was unacceptable, and that an
other statement is being prepared. 1t
is not known if Mr. Shinn's personal
work was unacceptable, or if the con-
dition of county finances were in such
shape as to be unsafe for publication.
Nor is it known if the new statement
is being prepared by another auditor
other than Mr.. Shinn,
After the continued reports last fall
about the irregularities in the county
finances, it is natural that taxpayers
are beginning to get suspicious, The
taxpayers have to furnish the funds
to meet these statements, and they
have a right to know the condition of
their treasury.
1t is hoped that the county will not
be kept in suspense any longer. The
continuation of war taxes, and the
universal objections to the equity Of
income taxes, have gotten most people
resentful. And the continued delay of
tn most immediate concern of Hunter
don taxpayers is doing no good to-
ward the good will of the public nor
to increase confidence in the admins
tration of County affairs.

Lambertville gets in the winning
column once more by defeating Man
ager Nolan's DeLaval Club, at Tren-
ton, N. j. on Saturday afternoon by
the final score of 6-5.
A few of the big features of the
game, was the timely and sensational
fielding by Leary, who figured in
two double plays of unexpected out;
which easily made him the Ace of
fielding stars" of which Holzer, H.
Walsh and Page played prominent
part, Carlen put up several star plays
in fielding and batting, but they were
all offset by an error which helped to
lose the fray for DeLaval in the
ninth. The fielding of Perrine, Dunn,
Cifelli, King and Hutchinson, was
worthy of mentioning. While H. Walsh
Barlow Page, Perrine and King
Welsh lead the batting.

the committee were almost swamped

SHOWN UP

leader, and some of his proteges, for
implication in number of big postal
robberies there and elsewhere Con
fessions OF some Of the minor figures
