Neighboring Farmers Hear Talk on
Growing Cost Of State and
Local Governments.
POTATOES ARE ALSO DISCUSSED

At the last meeting of the Sole
bury Farmers Club, held at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Welding Slack, in
New Hope, Philip. IL. Sprenkle, the
Bucks County farm agent. spoke on
the cooperative conference which
he attended in Harrisburg He said
it is doubtful if the public knows
what it is getting when it buys
Pennsylvania products, but everyone
knows what to expect when they buy
a California orange. Pennsylvania
must learn to grade and standardize
her products; and must work out CO.
operative marketing on a commodity
basis.
Walter w. Ely reported ON School
Directors Convention, and said that
the farm owner is paying majority
of the taxes, In Lower Merton
$l0000,000 worth of property is in
use for private schools, and are not
taxed as they should be. The per
capita tax OIL women goes direct to
the schools, but collection of it cannot
be forced, A bill is to go before the
Legislature which if passed will make
the evasion of this tax impossible.
Miss Nellie Magill recited "Motor
Madness, II clever little skit ON the
people of today
A. L. Hacker the county agent of
Lehigh County had for his subject,
Potato raising in Bucks County"
The Green Mountain, or white
sprouts, are not the strain for south
eastern Pennsylvania. The Rural, the
Russell, or any of the Blue Sprout
strain will give the best results. Be
sure of the quality of seed as far
as disease is concerned. Home made
Bordeaux Mixture is the best solution
for spraying, all points considered. A
sprayer with a high pressure, $50 or
800 pounds, should be used. The finest

LAMBERTVILLE
PROGRESS in 1872

Observation-Disclosures historians, COM
menting upon the anniversary of
George Washington's birth, the past
week, recall that the year of his en-
try into this world l732-was also
one fraught with history for this vi
entity.
The first house was built here about
that time, by Emanuel Coryell, who
established Coryell's Ferry, and the
York Road was open for traffic
across New Jersey, from the Della
ware to the Hudson Rives, after hav-
ing been opened on the Pennsylvania
side of the river several years before.
Wolves and bears were still being
chased out of what was then the
rural districts of the town, which
consisted of one house, with one or
two more under consideration.
Just how the citizens of that day,
who never even heard of George
Washington until many years later,
regarded such startling improvements
as the Coryell homestead, a ferry
across the Delaware, and public
road that was fairly pas.sable for
horsebackers, is not recorded in pre-
sent day archives, but it is suspect
ed that they bemoaned the rush and
hurry of the then rising generation,
and predicted that some day the
youngsters would insist upon at
least two roads in the district, and
wagons with springs under the seat.
There is legend that one of the
reckless inhabitants of the old In
dian village of Nishalmensy, located
in what is now West Amwell Town
ship. predicted that some day man
would travel a distance (now eompu-
ted) of fifty miles between sun and
sun, but the wiser heads thought he
had been imhibing the juice Of poke
berries, or other substance likely +"
produce such turbulent thoughts He
now lies in ar unmarked grave in the
neighborhood of Bovine station, prob
ably crossed hourly by automobiles or
the festive gasoline car that plies up
and down the Pennington Branch.
Lucky he did not predict the real
things that would happen.

CHICKEN THIEVES ROB
RING0ES HENNERY

Ralph Berger, of Ringoes, is minus
about $50 choice laying hens as the
result of visit from burglars a
few nights ago, and the state police
ae tracing out clues that may lead
to their capture.
The marauders were evidently ia
miliar with the young mans flock, as
they picked only the best of the stock,
and removed it across field in coops
to waiting truck that was hidden
ON the Ringoes- Headquarters road
near the cemetery. The tracks were
lost after the truck entered upon the
main road.
Mr.. Berger's loss is estimated at
about $500, the fowls easily being
worth 81 head, 1t is the first theft
of poultry in the Ringoes vicinity in
more than year.

LAMBERTVILLE SHOULD PRO-
VIDE FOR HER UNBORN
CHILDREN

During the year 1922 there were
about 100 births in Lambertville
proper that is, within the actual city
limits. Many other births occurred in
the surrounding community and New
Hope. II child is born at home it
is necessary for outside help TO be
secured to care for the household du-
ties that the prospective mother can
not perform during her confinement.
Help is hard to get. Many times wo-
men are thrown on the mercy Of their
neighbors to come into the home and
perform the pressing duties made
necessary. 1t is an embarrassment to
the mother and burden to her
neighbors.
II help is secured, it is at high
cost, and even then it is impossible
To provide in the home the essential
sanitary safeguards necessary TO in
sure the child birth free from ex-
posures.
If the mother could go to hos
pilal, SHE WOULD BE SURROUND
ED BY WHOLESOME COMFORTS,
SANITARY CONVENIENCES AND
SAFEGUARDS AGAINST EXPO
SURES FOR HER CHILD. And the
hospital expense would be no greater
than the expenses incurred in secui-
ing outside help nurse, etc. necessary
TO insure care for the mother during
her confinement. At the same time,
the fees charged by the hospital, while
lower than the costs of help in the
home, would be an income to the in
stitution to add to its maintenance.
MBER1VILLE SHOULD PRO-
VIDE PROTECTION FOR IT'S UN-
BORN CHILDREN. IT WILL HAVE
TO BE DONE EVENTUALLY, WHY
NOT NOW?

borough, last Monday will not be
used here, but on the Atlantic City
Railroad.
1t has been generally understood

LOS ANGELES PARK is
RICH In VIRGIN GOLD

Los Angeles-(A. P)-Los Angeles
could follow the example of Long
Beach, whose municipal treasury is
swollen with oil royalties, and become
a taxless city" by opening Griffith
Parks scenic hills to the exploita-
ton of gold mining interests, accord
ing to business men who recently
sought mining concessions in the
park, which lies in the foothills of
Hollywood.
At least $2OO,OOO,OOO in gold could
be taken from the Griffith Park hills,
the applicants for concessions con-
tended citing the discovery of gold
nuggets in one of the ravines of the
preserve as evidence that its slopes
were we'll salted down with precious
metal
However, an opinion handed down
by the city attorney to the effect that
the terms under which the city OBJ
tanned the park prohibit its use for
any commercial purpose, makes it un-
likely that the purported hidden hoard
of gold will be disturbed.
