Hurley Presides Over
Farm Bureau
BUCKS COUNTY FARM BUREAU
MET LAST SATURDAY AT DOY-
LESTOWN

Observation-Disclosures w. w.
Hurley, of New Hope, has been re-
elected by the Bucks County Farm
Bureau, which met here last Saturday
in the Court House with over three
hundred farm men and women in at
tendance. Eli Fritz, of Springfield,
was elected vice president; A. H.
Transue, treasurer, of Mechanicsville,
and L. P. Satterwaite, secretary, of
Newtown, were reelected.
President Hurley, in his speech to
the bureau, said that the call to the
farmers today is for more foodstuffs.
He urged that Bucks farmers put down
more food bearing crops. The demand
is incentive enough to encourage the
farmer to plant crops that market
most easily. He claimed that two
thirds of Bucks County, because of soil
and convenient markets, is peculiarly
adapted to dairying.
"There is greater need of education
for the public on the quality and stand
ards of milk" he said. "The average
housewife does not know the value of
milk and milk products as compared
with substitutes. If the average
housewife and mother compares butter
and oleomargarine as food for chill
dren she will easily decide they should
have butter"
Mr. Hurley urged that the bureau
become affiliated with the American
Farm Bureau Federation thru State
organization. One of the most import
ant things said by Mr.. Hurley was the
mention of a problem not only of in
terest to farmers but the population
of Bucks County at large. "a remedy
for the away. from the farm atti-
tude by the farm children will be found
in the new vocational schools being
founded at many places. These schools
will prepare children for a training
that will fit them for business, mechan-
ical trades or farming. For girls
there is provided training in domestic
science. So far Bucks County has been
asleep so far as securing these schools
is concerned"
Mr.. Hurley urged cooperative farm
ing as was outlined by County Agent
N. E. CARRIER. Too many "ten-cent"
projects are being attempted by indi-
vidual farmers. In union there is
strength. The farmers of neighbor-
hood should cooperate in buying and
selling and in the work of production.

The annual subscriptions for the
support of the nursing service are due
March l, and should be sent to the

more desirable to have many subscrib-
ers of small amounts than TO have only

tors. This is a service for the benefit
Of all in the community, and it is
hoped that all will take part in it,

Deer Park to be
Recreation Grounds

NEW HOPE-Everybod in this
city and for miles around is inter
ested in the recent sale of the Sole
bury Deer Park, three miles west
OF here on the York road, in Sole
bury Township, Bucks County.
John Zimmerman, Jr., of PhiladeI-
phia, has purchased it from the
estate of Hugh B. Eastburn, late of
Doylestown, and it will be developed
extensively as a camp meeting site
and summer colony.
The large octagon pavilion, one of
the most unique and best constructed
IN Pennsylvania, viii be repaired and
improved and will have a seating
capacity of 1000 or more. Several
other buildings will be renovated and
put into use again
Bungalows will be built in the woods
on the hill overlooking Lake Aque-
tong, the beautiful body of water
lying east of Ingham Spring, which
furnishes the supply and is one of the
fine springs of the State and United
States.
The creek to the south of the Deer
Park will be damned, and swimming
pools and other amusements pro-
vided. A station will also doubtless
be erected on the Northeast Pennsyl-
vaDia Railroad, which runs for some
distance along. the south side, and
furnishes direct communication with
Philadelphia and New Hope.
The tract of land is a part of the
old Loganian tract, and embraces rs
acres, most Of which is woodland, in
good condition, and most picturesquely
situated.
Originally there were deers and
other animals in the park, the former
giving it its name. For many years
an annual musical festival was held
in the pavilion in the summer, fol-
lowed by dances in the evening.
Later on the Reading Railway,
which operates the Northeast Penn
sylvania, used it as an amusement
park, having several attractions on
the grounds. But the haul from
Philadelphia was too long; many of
the visitors expected more attractions,
and all the excursion trains had to
continue to New Hope to turn their
locomotives and lay over. Some
twenty-five years ago this scheme was
abandoned
In more recent years the park has
been the scene of the annual Solebury
Farmers Exhibit, which fiourished
half dozen years before dropping
out under the exigencies of war. More
recently the park has been the scene
of many picnic parties from this city
as well as elsewhere. Its rejuvena-
ton is probably the beginning of a
great development that now promises
TO bloom along the York road from
this city to Willow Grove and Phila-
delphia.

KILLED BY AUTO
STRUCK BY CAR OF THE UNION
MILLS MANUFACTURING co.
WHILE CROSSING STREET AT
DEPOT IN LAMBERTVILLE

LAMBERTVILLE - On Tuesday
evening little Elizabeth Smith, six
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph ard Sadie Smith, of Main
street, New Hope. became frightened,
and disregarding the command of her
mother to remain on the sidewalk, ran
directly in front Of a large Cadillac
automobile owned by the Union Mills
Manufacturing Co., of New Hope, and
was killed.
Mrs. Smith had been shopping in
Lambertville accompanied by her two
little daughters. Purchases were made
a. Solliday's Jewelry Store and at
Beatty's Delieatessan Store, and the
mother was SO laden with bundles as
not TO be able to watch the two little
girls carefully. Returning toward New
Hope she had crossed the street at the
Canal bridge at the depot. When she
gained the opposite side she saw that
Elizabeth had not followed her Look
ing back she saw her still on the oppo-
site side of the street. She saw two
autos approaching from opposite dl-
rections and called to the child to re-
main where it was. Evidently Eliza
beth was frightened, and disregarding
her mothers cry, she darted into the
street. The Union Mills car, driven
by Clinton Oblinger, was only going
about FIVE miles an hour, but so sud
den was the child's dash into its path
It was impossible to stop before strik-
ing her.
Only the front right wheel of the
car passed over the child's body The
quick stoppage of the car proved 1t
was proceeding slowly. The rear
wheels did not touch her.
She was taken Immediately to the
Office of DR.. J. E. Scott on Bridge
street in New Hope. but her back and
stomach were so badly crushed she
died a few minutes afterward.
No one person can be blamed for
the accident. 1t was an accident pure
and simple. Mayor MooRan was stand
! ing nearby and saw the entire occur
ance. He eXonerates Mr.. Obhnger
from blame.
The funeral will be held this after
noon. Friday, February II, at 2.SC

BOOST FOR
The BOYS
LOOK FOR THEM FEBRUARY
18TH TO 18TH

LAMBERTVILLE-If the residents
of this town woul,l take as much in
terest in Lannbertville as they do in
Trenton and Philadelphia and New
York they would suddenly and force
fully realize that they have several
hundred growing boys for whom they
are responsible. A handful of patri-
otto and far-seeing men have for a
long time been doing what they could
for these boys, but for the most part
even the parents of l.ambertville boys
seem to forget that they exist.
These few men VINO are building for
the future have been providing exer-
else and recreation for several groups
of boys in the nature of Y. M. c. A.
work. They are F. A. Woodward,
president; Norman S. Conover, secre-
ry-treasurer; Alfred L, Crimson,
Charles D. McCracken, J. H. Herring,
Rev. A. C. Hensley, W. S. Thomas and
DIR. J. G. Petrie, committeeman.
These men are attempting to pro-
vide wholesome recreation and means
of development for the growing boys
of the town. They are divided into
three groups, and have been holding
their meetings about at the homes of
the different members. However, they
have now secured meeting place
that will accommodate a larger num-
Der, and where games and recreation
can be had during winter months.
To meet the expense of this club
room there is to be campaign con-
Quoted by the boys themselves for
eight days, beginning February 18th
and running thru the 10Th. These
boys have been paired off and will can
vas the entire town for their funds.
They deserve support. They demand
responsibility. They ask for funds
that are to be spent in your own town
and for your own people. There are
no paid officers in the organization.
The money you give to them will be
spent entirely upon the boys and their
needs. You can have no fear of CIV
ing to a cause that discounts your
money at every turn until it dwlndles
to nothing in reaching foreign land.
Your own town deserves your help
first. Your own boys are the citizens
of the future. The government and
prosperity of the future depends on
just what you make of these boys.
The boys teams are as follows:
Taylor and Hazen; Holcombe and
Joiner; Lovett and Hartwell; Cole and
Mccarthy; Burk and Salmon; Heath
and Dutt; Stout and Joiner; johnson
and Massey; Reading and Leftover.
These are YOUR boys. You are
responsible for them. Give them your
help, and give it generously. They
are building for the future of Lamb
ertville.
