Eighty-three of the Bible lands
orphan babies have, figuratively, been
left on Alaska's doorstep, with a note
from Near East Relief saying: please
feed them, Alaska, lest they die"
This is the same number actually
cared for by Alaska year ago, when
funds for their food and shelter were
raised through an appeal headed by
Rev. David Waggoner of Juneau, who
is giving his aid to the effort again
this year, but cannot make a per-
sonal campaign.
There is nothing else that we can
do but to ask Alaska to care for these
same children another year." states

HSWuMCU small purpose, ana hOW
HlNANllN often we have been cow
ardly and hung back, or
temerarious and rushed unwisely in !;
and how every day and all day long
we have transgressed the law of kind
ness; it may seem a paradox, but in
the bitterness of these discoveries a
certain consolation resides.
Life is not designed to minister to
mans vanity. He goes upon his
long business most of the time with
a hanging head, and all the time like
a child. Full of rewards and pleas
ure as it is-so that to see the day
break or the moon rise, or to meet
a friend, or to hear dinner call when
he is hungry, fill him with surprising
joys-this world is yet for him no
abiding city. Friendships fall through,
health fails, WEAKNESS assails him
year after year he must thumb the
hardly varying record Of his own
weakness and folly.
1t is friendly process of detach-
ment. When the time comes that he
should go, there need be few illusions
left about himself. Here lies one who
meant well, tried little, failed much
surely that may be his epitaph, OF
which he need not be ashamed. Nor
will he complain at the summons
which calls defeated soldier from the
field; defeated, ay, If he We're Paul OF
Marcus Aurelius but If there Is still
one inch of fight in his old spirit, un-
dishonored. Give him a march with
his old bones; there, out of the glorious
sun-cOlored earth, out of the day and
the dust, and the ecstacy-there goes
another Faithful Failure.

PULLETS MUST HAVE GREENS
Fowls Seldom Pick Up Enough on
Free Range in Fall on Account
Of Plants Drying Up.

Green feed must be provided If the
pullets are to grow rapidly. They
seldom get enough even when on free
range in early fall. for most of the
plants and heritage have long since
passed the succulent stage. A newly
moved field of grass or patch of rye,
wheat, oats, barley, or rape sowed es-
pecially for the poultry gives the best
supply. Cabbage, chard, or beet tops
may be used

also comes the curious superstition
that 1t is unlucky to take anything
out of the house on New Years day

statements made by Eugene V. Debs
on being released from the federal

new HOPE And
EDUCATION
WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES DO
NEW HOPE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO DO

NEW HOPE-Mr. Charles Worth
lngton, cashier of the Solebury Ma
tlonal Bank, has called the editors
attention to an article appearing in
the "Banker-Farmer" magazine under
the heading of consolidated Schools
1t was reprinted from the Kansas City
Star, and shows the commendable
work done in school consolidation near
Garden City, Kan. This consolidation
consisted of eight schools. They
erected a school costing S225, 100000
The Coryell's Ferry Community School
combine would embrace twenty-five
schools and their proposed building is
to cost $100,000.00.
The article from the Barker
Farmer" follows:
"The Holcombe consolidated school
is soon to take the place of eight one
room country schools near Garden
City, Kan. The new school will cost
1925 100000 and include a modern
building, superintendent home, a
dormitory for the teachers and a
twelve acre farm for the teacher of
agriculture. The instituSicfl viii b a.
ate motor cars for the transportation
of school children who live at a dis
tance, and will employ, it is said, some
of the best teachers.in the State
Altho begun several years ago,
rural school consolidation has proceed
ed none too rapidly to the present.
Naturally the war interfered with the
work; but a revival on a large scale
of efforts to make country schools
effective and modern would be a pri-
mary factor in placing the rural sec
tons on a fair competitive basis with
the cities and an immediate means of
keeping young men and women on the
farms.
Recently there has been much talk
of reforming and thoroughly modern
izing schools in the city, but the coua-
try schools, in many cases, have been
declared to be twenty years behind
the educational facilities of the urban
centers. There are still too many one
and two-room school buildings in the
country, with poorly paid teachers, or
no teachers at all, few modern
methods of instruction, limited play
grounds, and little or no space for
gardens or experimental farming
Teachers find homes near the schools
with difficulty, and there is little
opportunity for social life with the
school building as center
The consolidated school, where it
combines sufficient number of the
smaller institutions, makes all these
things, and more, possible. In the big
ger school there may be nurses, and
medical inspection, things badly
needed in some rural sections; there
may be higher courses of study offer
ed, living quarters for pupils who may
wish to attend from a distance, and,
in fact, all the advantages the most
complete city school can offer. Incl
dentally the consolidated school en-
courages the building of good roads.
Under such favorable conditions
the country school may become an i'm
portant factor in making farm life
attractive to children born on the
farm, and so in helping to maintain
the farming population"

WHAT DO YOU
THL,''.D Of
YOUR STREETS?

LAMBERTVILLE = During the
week four men of the city were asked
what they thought of the paving OF
the streets. Their answers were as
| follows:
Mr.. H. R. Wilbur, local manager
of the Public Service Corporation
said: Certainly our streets are in a
| deplorable condition. But | do not sec
that any one in particular is to blame
The city treasury, l understand, has
been sadly in need, and has received
no help from the State for roads.
think that if mass meeting could be
called that would include influential
voters of the city, movement might
be started which would result in reach
ing the ears of the State officials. It
seems to me that the greatest need is
for an organization in New Jersey
something like that in New England
The States there build roads where
towns and boroughs build an equal
amount. That is, when the town
raises funds for so much road paw
ing, the State matches it. For in
stance, town says to the State Off
Gals We have money enough to build
one mile of road and pave it, The
State officials immediately sappro-
pirate an equal amount, then take the
whole and build two miles of road
Al. road construction is done by ex-
perts in the employ of the State. The
towns simply put up their half of the
money and the work is done by stand
ard requirements. 4 also think said
Mr.. Wilbur, that each county should
have in its employ an expert road
engineer who should superintend the
construction of aly roads in the
county,"
Mr.. R. C. Chesson, professor of
manual training at the Lambertvil'l
High School, said: "Lambertville roads
are not in good condition. There is
no argument about that. And be-
cause it costs more than the town can
! afford to put them in good condition
they are rapidly getting into worse
condition. But the fact remains that
good roads is the criteria BY which a
town is rated-progressive, non-pro-
gressive or retrogressive. People may
decide for themselves which head
Lambertville comes under"
John F. Mangan, merchant, said:
Our streets are no worse now than
IHSy nave UeeH lOT LIE past twenty
years. 1t is wonder to me that they
are as good as they are considering
the amount of traffic that passes over
them. But bad as they are, they can't
be made better without funds. l be-
lieve the commissioners are doing all
they can do with the funds they have.
The trouble with Lambertville is that
we have to pay the county and state
so much of our taxation, which is used
on roads in remote corners of Hunter
don County, and which gives US no
benefit" (Note by the editor: Last
year Lambertville paid to the State
and county $26,812.02.)
Theodore G. Kitchin, civil engineer:
1.-THE first essential for better streets
in Lambertville is more money. 1t is
getting good returns for the money
actually spent, but more than twice
as much is needed"
And so there you are! Now what
do YOU think of your streets? This
paper invites your opinion, and will
publish it if you do not object.
