MISS STOUT H0NORED
AT COMMENCEMENT

Lambertville- Miss Annie F. Stout
who recently resigned as principal OF
the High School after fifty years of
service, was presented d memorium
at the commencement exercises last

vented her being present at the ex-
eercises.
F. A. Woodward, president of the
Board of Education, read an apprecia-
ton which was to be presented to her.
1t was an deliberately bound volume
setting forth tribute to her long and
faithful service, and expressing the
appreciation, not only of the Board of
Education, but of the many who had
studied under her in the schools.

Despite charges that the house bill
for regulation of the packing industry
was drafted by attorneys for the pack

substituted that measure for the more

Friendly Settlement of

BY EDWARD w. PICKARD.

Premier Lloyd George, talking to
the Welsh Presbyterian general as
sembly, admits that he is disappointed
because, despite the formation of the
League of Nations some of the peo-
pies of the world insist on fighting,
and because the spirit of national
hatred, greed and pride is as domi-

sons of the late war. He says he is
still all for the league, but fears that,
unless public opinion in all civilized
nations is better instructed, the league
will become breeding ground of in
trigues and feuds which might lead
to the greatest conflict yet witnessed.
Some small nations that have been
liberated, says the prime minister,
seem to have been rendered fercer by
being chained so long, and they APP
parently do not fear the interference
of the league nor have they any re-
spect for its decisions. In this Lloyd
George undoubtedly was alluding to the
Poles, and the situation in Upper 81
lesia justifies his feeling. The Ger
man defense forces there decline to lei
go of the ground they hold and reject
the plan for a neutral zone unless it
be created in territory which the Poles
control. The insurgent Poles, though
they have been retiring before the adj
vance of the British troops, are said
to be leaving well armed force of
civilians in their wake Great Britain
is blaming France for CONTINUED fail

of order in Silesia. 1t is admitted in
London that the work of clearing up
the plebiscite zone is at a standstill.
and Berlin learns that the interallied
commission at Oppeln has decided to
cease all military operations until the
German defense organizations with
draw from the territory east of the
Oder, which they recently occupied.
Is 1t any wonder the usually opti-
mistic Lloyd George feels rather des-
pondent?

JULY nth AT
DEER PARK
Monster Celebration to be Staged
Free for Residents of New Hope
SOlebury, Upper Wakefield,
and Lambertville.

New Hope In these days of high
costs and profiteering, it is a refresh
ing thing to find someone who Of
fers US something for nothing. But
that is what the owners of the old
Solebury Deer Park are planning to
do July 3rd. and 4th And when we
are told that these owners are a re-
igious organization, it seems even
more strange. For usually they are
after our money.
The new owners of the park are
known as the UNITED Church of Je-
sus Christ of the Seventh Day Ad-
vent" 1t is a jaw-splitting name,
but the people are genuine. The pur-
chase of the property was directly
by John Zimmerman, owner of the
Philadelphia Tapestry Mills And the
organization, like Mr.. Zimmerman,
seems to have plenty of money. AS
proof of it, on Sunday, July Bird. the
day before the holiday, they are to
reproduce the famous Oratorio Iby
Maunder with a chorus of over 100
voices and solists. And it is free to
the public. The director is Albert N.
Hoxie, one of the five men who wrote
the bulk of all the war songs. He
directed community singing in camps
all over the United States. This is
at A o'clock, daylight saving time,
Sunday, July 3rd. And remember
there will be no charge for admis-
sion.
Big Time July Fourth.
But the real time comes July 4th.
Beginning at two o'clock there will
be baseball and athletic contests. The
residents at the Park have some play
ers, and they are anxious to get two
or three friendly games. There will
be swimming, boating, and commun-
ity singing led by Mr.. Hoxie.
A monster fireworks display is to
be staged at nine o'clock that cost
5000. to produce by professionals. Of
this the climax will be a reproduct-
ion of Niagara Fails in one solid
mass of fireworks. And it is all free.
All you are asked for is to bring a
friendly smile and a desire for
good time. And to make it possible
for every one to go who wishes, Il ere
will be sent from the Park, autos to
carry those who have no conveyance.
In addition to these, the Universal
Paper Bag Co. thru Mr. Daniel o.
linger, will furnish its trucks for ad-
be at Main and Bridge Sts., New
Hope, July Fourth, at one o'clock,
daylight saving time.
There will undoubtedly be those
who will be sceptical of this, but the
following assurance is given the poor
bounded souls who have had their
legs pulled until they seem deformed:
The leaders at Deer Park have ap-
pointed the following well known cit
liens of this place as committee
to cooperate in giving a genuine
holiday to people thru this section:
Eanicl O5linger, J. P. Borden, Chas.
Edw. Foulke, Dr.. j. E. Scott, and Jos.
D. Holcombe. They are now prepar-
ing posters for distribution. Watch
for them.
Tie members Of the summer col
ony at the Park number 1000. They
are preparing to take care of 1000
guests. There are no charges for adj
nilsson, nor will there be any col
lections taken. The new owners of
Deer Psrk want you to enjoy a real
American holiday and become ac-
quanted with their endeavors. So pre-
pare to go.

In the Caucasus region General Blu

cavalry units are advancing to the as
slstance of the Turks. passing through
Armenia. King Constantine himself
has been in Smyrna and made prepa-
rations to go into the battle zone.

Greeks again In order to retain his
leadership of the nationalists, accord
ing to stories from Turkey. Enver
Pasha is his rival and if he can sup.
plant Renal he will he given full sup
port by the Russian Bolshevists, since
he has promised to set up soviet
state in Turkey, thing which Renal
has refused TO do.
Over in Siberia matters are still
rather confused. The anti-Bolshevists
retain control of VIadivostok, and the
pan because, they assert, the Japanese
troops disarmed the Bolshevists in the
city. This Japan explains by assert
ing that both parties were disarmed
because the Japanese commander
would tolerate no fighting in the zone
of occupation. The Far East republic
of Siberia, with headquarters mt Chita,
has decided to adhere to the soviet
government of Russia.
So much for the warlike aspects.
Now for the other side Two nations
that have been deadly enemies, and
two that many have feared might be-
come such, are moving toward a
friendly adjustment of their differ
ences. The first case is that Of
France and Germany, and though it
may be too much to expect that they
soon will love each other, at least it
appears they are likely soon to resume
amicable business relations. This is
baden between NJ. Loucheur, French
minister of liberated regions, and DR..
Walter Rathenau, German minister of
reconstruction. Both these men are
exceedingly wealthy industrial mag
mates and they debated for three days
over an economic euIellte petWteil
their countries. They finally reached
an agreement, for submission to their
respective governments. the main
points of which are that Germany I'M
dertakes, and France permits, the re-
building of the destroyed areas in
France; and that France undertakes
to provide the German industrial sys-
TEN with adequate supplies of iron
from the Briey basin now occupied by
French troops.
Nearly nine-tenths of the iron de-
posits of the old German empire are
in the Briey basin, and the Germans
expect, if they can get the ore from
there. that their now idle factories in
the Ruhr and elsewhere will be re
opened and that they will soon be
able TO fill the markets of the world
with goods of German make offered
at low prices. This of course would
be most painful to British trade, and
it is said the prospect of rapproche-
ment between France and Germany on
the terms stated is viewed with alarm

surance and oblige towns to ''care for
their own unfortunates." 1t would abol-
ish the Offices of assistant judges and
consolidate several municipal courts and
at least two county courts.
Many of these recommendations are
too radical to receive serious consider
alton, as, for example, that relative to
highway expenditures. On the other
hand, the boards suggestion that the
number of district school superintend-
ents be reduced from 65 to 40 has con-
siderable merit and very likely is not
impossible of adoption. The report adds
to the burden of those who would con-
tinue the present normal schools by as
sorting that it is obvious these schools
have not justified their existence.

WOMEN'S INCOME TAXES.

Few people need to be convinced that
women are getting on in the business
world, but the reports of the income tax
shed new light on how well they are
getting on. More than $4,000 women
in New York state alone filed income tax
returns for 1919. OF these 101, 900 were
and out of this number over
10000 were listed as supporting heads
of families. The occupations from which
the women reported particularly good
incomes ranged through the theatrical
and motion picture professions, big com
mercial positions, secretaryships of all
kinds and important banking jobs.
1t is true that New York is a big
state and a densely populated one, and
that New York city offers especially good
to the intelligent woman.
But for all that, the returns from this
one state are but a small percentage of
those of the entire country from women
who are making incomes large enough
to be taxed and supporting families upon
these incomes. The Importance of wom-
en- in the business world and as heads
of families assumes n new aspect when
these figures are considered, and should
receive a new respect. As for any ante
diluvian idea that the American business
woman can be either neglected or ig-
nOred-here is the answer.

An editorial on the high quality of the
maple sugar produced in New England
appeared in the Boston Transcript re-
Gently and it was evident that the writer
had had ample opportunity of sampling
our famous product and knew whereof he
spoke, but an Indiana man appears to be
positive the pleasure would not have
been the same had the writer known of
the maple sugar produced in the Hoosier
state. He says:
Possibly you have never had the
pleasure of nibbling the maple sugar
cakes and tasting the maple sugar
syrup made from the sap of the hard
maple trees grown on the steep hill
sides and limestone lodges of that
range of (almost) mountains in
Brown county, Ind. \ gustatory
treat awaits you-a treat that will
be the more appreciated if you have
the maple sugar habit induced by in
diligence in the so-called maple sugar
and maple syrup of Vermont
The only western maple sugar we ever
had the pleasure CD of sampling came
from Michigan which of course might
have been something entirely different
from the Hoosier state product 1t was
a dark brown square of a granite like
substance and the one thing which
led us to believe that it had once had
intimate acquaintance with a maple tree
was small twig imbedded in its inter
Tor. We still prefer the 'so-called"
Vermont maple sugar and syrup and
await our annual "gustatory treat"

4 DRASTIC REPORT.

There is little likelihood that the pres
cnt legislature will adopt any of the rec
concentrations in the special board of
control report made under joint reso-
luton of the legislature of 1919 order

Eliminating, however, in its revelation of
the increased cost of government from
1901, when the total was $970,47S. 30,
until now when the cost is $4,091 $40.
The report recommends a return to con
ditions akin to those of 1901, but after
study of the means which are suggested
for bringing this about most people will
agree with that portion of the report
which says that many of the suggestions
are ''reactionary and perhaps unreason-
able"
The board would reduce by 80 per
cent the amount the state spends on high
ways and reOrganize the system to pro-
vide state aid only for towns that have
trunk lines to support. 1t would cut off
state aid to forestry, agricultural fairs,
cooperative associations of all sorts and
the institutions of higher learning 1t
would do away with the present system
of school supervision and substitute "a
simple but efficient method of developing
rural schools, leaving the larger places
to look after their own institutions"
