Quite characteristic Of the tdiotic
methods adopted by the Reds. abroad

threatening them with death unless
the Italians are set free, and in Drus.

Crisis of German Cabinet

At the time Of writing, the cabinet
crisis in Germany had not arrived, be-
cause the decision on the partition of
Upper Silesia had not been formally
communicated. But Chancellor Wirth
had announced his impending resigna-
GGn, and President Ebert was strug-
Cling to keep him in office at the head
Of reOrganized ministry to be sup
ported by the coalition parties. Rath-
enau, it was said, would remain in the
cabinet, but Foreign Minister Rosen
would be eliminated. SHINES, the
most powerful man in Germany was
said TO have turned against Wirth.
The steady recovery of power by the
conservatives and monarchists was re-
vcaled in the Berlin elections, which
resulted in great victory for the
bourgeoisle parties over the Socialists
and Communists. The Independent
Socialists, already split over commun-
ism, suffered further heavy losses

SOLEBURY COM
MUNITY HOUSE
PLANS
By j. H. Woodruff

Reports of activity in connection
with the work of preparation for the
Community House of Solebury be-
come commplace in comparison with
the work itself. Last Saturday, the
Casual was no exception to the
casual passerby. Yet there were sew
eral incidents that would have furn-
ished material for the pen of de
Maupassant or o. Henry.
In the morning, before the volun-
teer force had become fully organ
lied, or at least before the men were
willing to admit the pulling power
of three tractors, there was some loss
of time due to broken cables and
chains, until it became evident that
a blacksmith was needed. For some
reason the nearby shop was closed,
which made it necessary to drive
several miles for repairs. The smithy
was found to be extremely busy, it
being Saturday. The messenger hap
pened to be total stranger to the
blacksmith, incidentally he happen
ed to be writer and poet well known
in the large cities, tho not known in
this neighborhood.) He was in
hurry men We're waiting for his re-
turn, and without introduction, he
told the smithy that he would like
his work done first. The blacksmith
asked by whom the work was want
ed, and when informed that it was
for the Community House of Solebury,
he Immediately completed it Jand
said when asked the charges, This
is Community Day. There is no
charge" A short poem has been
written in honor of this blacksmith
which will be published shortly.
Three tractors nd fifteen men were
at work on Saturday, all volunteers.
One man of analytical mind tried
to compute the payroll of the men
if paid at their regular earning ca
pacity, and the figures were interest
ing. A larger crew is being prepared
for next Saturday and by Saturday
evening, it is expected that stakes
will be driven for the outlines of the
house.

RED CROSS ROLL
STARTS NOV. II

Lambertville- Armistice Day, Nov.
II, 1921, ushers in the 9Th Roll Call
of the Red Cross throughout the ma
ton. Lambertville is planning to re-
spond in the same enthusiastic way
in which our city came forward in
previous years. And with a good
reason, for the Red Cross is not only
constantly at work wherever there
is suffering and disaster, but right
in our own city the local Red Cross
is directing the work of our public
health nurse. We all know the bene-
fits we are receiving from this work.
The local Red Cross workers will
soon be making their calls bringing
with them the Red Cross flag which
should show in every home on the
anniversary of the great Armistice.

New Owners Lam
bertvilIe Pubic Service

Lambertville- Some apprehension
has been felt b. people who are US
ing power and light from the Lam
bertville Public Service Co. since the
company has passed into new hands.
These new owners are the New Jer-
sey Power and Light Co. The name
has suggested to some people that it
is the same as certain gas company
that has given so much dissatisfied
ion thru this section.
But it is not. The New Jersey Pow
err and Light Co. has not, and never
expects to have, gas plant. How
ever, the company is owned by a
controlling company, the General Gas
and Electric Co., which owns COM
panies in Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York. They own the Penn
sylvania Edison Co. of Easton, the
Metropolitan Edison Co. of Reading
and the Binghampton Power, Heat
& Light Co. of Binghampton, n. Y.
These interests have recently ac-
quired, beside the Lambertville Co.,
the Eastern States Public Service Co,
including the towns of Newton, Lam
bertville, Pennington and New Hope.
They have recently built new plan
at the cost of million dollars on
the Rockaway River at Dover. This
supplies seven thousand kilowats. At
the Reading plant they generate fif-
ty thousand kilowats, and at Easton
twenty-five thousand. Plans are now
under way for the erection of a plant
at Holland, N. j. that will generate
two hundred thousand kilowats. 1t
can be seen by these facts that the
New Jersey Power & Light Co is
a substantial firm that can give SER
vice in every sense of the word.
Transmission lines covering the
counties of Sussex, Morris, Somer-
set and Hunterdon will enable them
to connect all power plants so that
uniform and sufficient power can be
supplied equally to all towns in these
counties. In this way it is hoped to
reduce rates all along the line. This
may be made possible by the de-
creased cost of production brought
about by increased volume Also it
will enable the extension of lines to
take in more territory where there
are at present no lines. Stockton,
Center Bridge and the New Hope
Art Colony have been trying for 2
long time to get lines.
Improvements arc already being
made at the Lambertyille plant, and
the management is TO continue under
the direction ef H. R. Wilbur, We
understand, and this will be appre
eiated by those already using their
service. For Mr.. Wilbur has proven
himself not only capable, but has al
ways carried out to a gratifying eX-
tent the idea of Public Service.

Greek Govern
ment Worried

The Greeks announced another con-
siderable victory over the Turks in
Asia Minor, but their successes there
are not sufficient to satisfy the people,
and the government is much worried
British support did not materialize. so
the Greeks have turned to France for
help This week Premier Gounaris
is in Paris, and Bekir Samy Bey, Turk
leader. also is there The expectation
is that secret negotiations started by
Premier BRAND will result in peace
in Anatolia before long. A British
mission is about to leave Constantine
pie to confer with the Kemalists.

 The persistency of the contact veins is best indicated by the fact that rich ore has been found along them at in tervals of a mile or more for dis tance of six miles, with Tlford,s clam at one extreme and Millick's at the other. The discovery fartherest north is probably not more than six miles south of the Permont Mines property, which is believed to be on the same contact and vein system.
 More interest attaches to this new discovery in Spring valley than any that has ben made in this section of the state for number of years, and without doubt it will be the scene of much activity with the coming re- vival of mining.
 The quartz is an ideal gold and sil- yer bearing rock, and has every in- dication of being primary ore. The copper stains in the ore are taken as a good indication of permanency, and the general character of the forn1a- tion is such as to warrant confidence in the new district.-Ely Times

CUPRITE MINE ... .
 TURNS TO GOLD

Cuprite, the, southern suburb of
 Goldfield, is looking up with great ex- pectations according to Charles Fag- enbush, who was in Tonopah planting some boost beans. Owners of the sili- ca property, which has contracted with various California glass blowing com panies, are buying more acreage and expect to install an electric furnace that will reduce silica to it's most marketable form. Should this project succeed the silica company expects to ship at least 1000 tons a week over the Tonopah & Tidewater railroad.
