R. R. to New Hope
so Years Old

NEW HOPE-Fifty years ago this
week ground was broken near Willow
Grove for the building of the North
east Pennsylvania Railroad, which
now extends from Glenside, Mont
gomery County, to this borough.
Bands of music accompanied the
sounds of the picks and shovels, and
after several speeches by prominent
people of that section the whole party
repaired to the Willow Grove Hotel,
where a dinner was served.
For number of years this rail-
road only ran as far as what is now
Ivyland, but was then called Harris
vile Station. In 1892 the road was
extended to this borough, Offering
competition to the Belvidere Delaware
Railroad at Lambertville, compelling
the latter to operate Sunday passen-
ger trains, and to carry people to
Philadelphia and return for less than
one and a half cents per mile until a
few years ago, when the government
did away with the differentiaI rates
in favor of this section

League Question
Still Unsettled

The two great agencies of the allies
the supreme council and the council
of the League of Nations-began ses-
sions last week. the former in London
and the latter in Paris. The league
council first took up the matter of
amendments TO the covenant, and, be-
cause the attitude of the incoming adj
ministration in America was in doubt,
the question was referred to COM
mittee which will not report before
April. This. gives Mr.. Harding time to
define his position on the league,
Then the mandates were brought up
for consideration, and again the
United States, though not officially
represented, made its influence felt.
Ambassador Wallace sent word that
our State department wished to pre-
sent its views, and action was halted
until the note front Washington ar
rived This note, in substance, called
attention TO the fact that the United
States has never given its consent
that the island of zap be included in
the territories subjected to the man
date of Japan. and declares the gov
eminent cannot regard itself as
bound by the terms of that mandate.
1t asked the council to submit the
question to a new investigation.
Secretary Colby also claimed for
the United States an equal concern
and interest with the other principal
allied and associated powers in the
disposition of the overseas posses
sions of Germany.
The net result, at this writing. is
a decision to delay all mandate ac-
ton until the May meeting Of the
league,

MAKE YOUR
TAX RETURN

With the approach of March Is
taxpayers are advised not to delay
In the preparation and filing of their
income tax returns for the year 1920.
To avoid penalties the returns must
be in the hands of a collector or a
deputy collector of internal revenue
on or before midnight of that date.
Revenue officers have been assigned
to assist taxpayers in correctly max
ing out the forms, and are located
at various division offices and tenn
porary branch offices.
On page l of the income tax forms
is the following: eff you need assist
ance go to a deputy collector or to
the collectors office, but first read in
structions and fill out this sheet (face
and back in pencil as we'll as you
can" Much time can be saved both
the government officers and the tax
payer if, before seeking aid, the tax
payer will follow this injunction. For
example, blank spaces are provided
for answers to the following ques-
tions: Are you citizen of the
United States ?" "If not, are you a
resident Of the United States ?'' ''Did
you file a return for 1892" 'If So,
what address was given on that re-
turn" Were you married and liv-
ing with wife and husband on the last
day of your taxable period ?" How
may dependent persons under IS Tor
if over IS, incapable of self-support
because mentally or physically defec-
tive) were receiving their chief sup
port from you on the last day of your
axable period ?"
Questions such as these should not
await inquiry from revenue officers
assisting in making out the forms.
Returns are required of every mar
ried couple whose net income and that
of dependent children for the year
was $4,000 TO more and from every
single person-or married person not
living with wife or INSTANTANEOUS
net income was 81 600 or more.
The exemptions are $4,000 for mar
ried persons and heads of families
and 81 900 for single persons-or mar
ried persons not living with wife or
husband-and are determined by the
taxpayers status on the last day of
the taxable year, December 81, 1920.
Husband and wife may make com
bined return of their joint net income
if less than $4,000. If the income
of either exceeded $1,000, separate re
turns should be filed for the purpose
of computing correctly the surtax
which applies only to income in excess
of that amount.
The tax may be paid in full at the
time of filing the return, or in four
equal installments due on or before
March Is, June IS, September Is and
December Is. Taxpayers are advised
not to send cash through the mail.
Checks and money orders should be
drawn to the order of Collector of
Internal Revenue (insert name of city
and State).

March l, 1849, marked the entry of
Lambertville into the town class
where it remained until March 20
1872, when it became a city, which it
has since remained, being in what is
known as the thirdclass of New Jer-
sey's cities.
The high cost of living evidently
hadn't struck the place at the time of
its Incorporation, in 1849, as the town
clerk was paid the sum of $50 per
year and the town treasurer $40. Evil
IDENTIFY the handling of moneys was
counted as sufficient pleasure in itself
without paying anything worthy of
note for the work involved.
Some of the old timers, who are old
enough to remember 1849, say, how
ever, that ten dollars was regarded as
neat and tidy sum in those days.
In fact, even two years later, when
trains began running over the Belvi-
dere Delaware Railroad between this
city and Coalport, Trenton, the fare
was only 70 cents eacn way-and the
only commuters Were the tram crew.

grandfather there was morning and

WHY GO TO
HIGH SCHOOL

1t is not easy to think of any good
reasons why one does not want to go
to High School.
We can think of only two reasons
that look reasonable, and one is that
you can learn what you greatly de-
sire to learn better without going to
a High School There are cases in
which that is apparently true and if
it is honestly true in your case we
will not argue it with you, but per-
sonally we have not known such a
case.
Another is that the family needs
the money you can earn. 1t is not
easy to meet this objection, but the
cases we have known simply make this
an excuse. Often the family gets lit
tie if any of it. We have known SO
many instances where the children
spend it on themselves or the family
spends it foolishly that we are sus-
picious, but when it is honest reason
it is hard to meet the objection.
You Get Record
Most important is the fact that
whatever one learns in an institution
is matter of record 1t is some
thing that is markable. 1t is like the
pedigree of a pure bred animal There
isv 1zuara.ffes tiszt ycu have success
fully mastered course.
High School Years Are Vital
A High School course is adapted to
the best attainment of young people
from thirteen to eighteen years. No
normal child can wisely and reason
ably learn before twelve what he can
best learn from thirteen to eighteen,
and while many things in the course
can be learned later, it is much better
if the course is well chosen to learn
it in these years.
As society and the industrial world
are, if a young man or woman does
not enter the High School before he
is sixteen it is reasonably sure that
ne will never study the High School
subjects.
Doors Closed to Non-Graduates
If one does not graduate from a
High School he cannot go to college.
He cannot go to a State Normal
School in most States.
He cannot go to frst-elass law
school.
He cannot go to frst-class dental
school
He cannot be admitted to Naval
School of Aviation.
He cannot be admitted to an Army
Aviation School.
3 He cannot get a frst-class position
in a newspaper office.
He cannot get place that is open
to promotion in bank.
He cannot get place that is open
to promotion in any railroad office, IN
any counting room, in any business
Office unless he has High School edu-
cation.
One who has not High School edu-
cation closes many doors in his face.
1t is a great mistake for any young
nan or woman to deliberately shut
and lock all doors to the best things
/ in a business and professional life.

REDS Still
FIGHTING


According to advices from Constan-
tinople, the BoIshevlsts in the eau
casus region have begun warfare
against the republic of Georgia and
already have occupied considerable
territory. First dispatches said the
Reds, under command of Budenny
had captured Tifiis, the capital, but
later it was reported they had been
driven back from the city by the
hastily gathered Georgian troops
There is little doubt of the ability of
the BolShevists TO overrun Georgia
and reach Erzerum. there establishing
contact with the forces of Mustapha
kemal Pasha.
Another Red drive took place in
Persia and resulted in the capture of
Teheran, the capital. and Of the shah
himself. This exploit was carried out
by several thousands of Persian Cos
sacks under Reza Khan. who landed
on the south shore of the Caspian sea
and marched TO Kasbin and thence to
Teheran. Notwithstanding these
movements in the east, the great bulk
of the Russian Bolshevist army is on
the west border preparing for the big
spring drive there.
From German news sources comes
the information that Montenegro,
which has never ceased to protest
against the loss of her identity in the
formation of the new Jugo-Slavian
state. has declared a holy war against
Serbia. The message said two Serbian
regiments had occupied Cetinje, the
Montenegrin capital, and that the stu
alton was considered serious.
