Washington Cross
ing improvements

Washington Crossing-on the
Pennsylvania side of the Delaware
bids fair to become the "Spotless
Town of America" if the present ac-
tivity of the Park Commission con-
tinues much longer.
Few towns have the advantage of
a management which says paint,
and the job proceeds forthwith, at
the expense of great state, and
the same authority says cleanup
and it is done with equal despatch,
Professor Cowell, the state land
scape architect, is in charge of the
plans, and it is expected that by
Summer many of his ideas will have
been carried out.
The Park Commission reports that
practically all the land ON Bowman
Hill had been acquired, and that the
condemnation of the Irwin High prop
ert. is proceeding. The develop
ment of the hill itself, and of Pid-
cocks Creek, at the base, will early
future events, and when completed
will open to the public one of the
most beautiful scenic spots imagin-
able.
The Commission has decided to
purchase the old Joseph Walton
place and the Baker property, in the
village, which is another step tow
ard acquiring all the land there.
The work of clearing the Della
ware River of rocks in an effort to
make a bathing beach below the
interstate bridge at Washington
Crossing, will begin soon, and it is
stated that number of bath houses
will be constructed for the benefit
of bathers.

"You claims you is fast! You
says you's so fast folks calls you

'Tll tell you how fast is.' said
the other. "De rom where sleep

Frankness, honesty, simplicity and
sincerity are the finest types of a
character possible to find in any in

fellow was supposed to have said.
Nine times out of ten the fellow

In trading on the New York Stock

of the most remarkable buying demon
STATIONS in recent years.
Forty-fve carrier stocks scared to
new high prices for the year, some
of them to the highest prices in his

small fractions to Az points.
Sales of all. stocks exceeded 1900, 900
shares, the first "two-million share"
day since April II, 1922.
While the recent high monthly earpr
ings statements and record4br4aS1 g
car-loading statistics have been factors
in the buying of railroad shares, most
market observers agreed that the al
most unprecedented demand for those
stocks at this time was due to the
growing belief that the apparent loss
Of the balance of power by the radical
element In congress precluded the
probability Of any adverse railroad leg
islation In the next few years.

w. CHURCHILL IN
BRITISH CABINET
Named BY Baldwin Chancel-
Tor of Exchequer.

London. - Stanley Baldwin, new
prime minister, sprang a surprise on
the country when it was announced
that he had appointed Winston Church
ill, noted as a free trader, as chancel-
lor of the exchequer.
In bestowing this high office, which
generally is considered next to the
prime ministership in Importance, to
a recent convert from Liberalism, he
left a lifelong Conservative. Sir Rob-
ert Horne, out in the cold. Sir Rob-
ert, who had been chancellor in the
coalition government, was offered the
post of minister of labor by Baldwin,
but he spurned this Indignantly as he
confidently had expected to return to
his former office.
1t is known that Churchill Is in
favor of securing payment by the al
lies of their debts to Britain, view
shared by Austen Chamberlain, the
new foreign secretary. Action in this
direction may be looked for at an
early date.

COOLIDGE SETS
THANKSGIVING
President Urges Nation to
Show Gratitude for Days
of Peace on Nov. ~.

characterization Coolidge is
sued a proclamation formally pro-
claiming Thursday, November q, as
Thanksgiving day.
The proclamation said:
eve approach that season of the
year when it has been the custom for
the American people to give thanks
for the good fortune which the bounty
of Providence through the generosity
of nature, has visited on them. 1t is
altogether a good custom. It has the
sanction of antiquity and the approba-
ton of our religious convictions. In
acknowledging the receipt of Divine
favor, in contemplating the blessings
which have been bestowed on us, we
shall reveal the spiritual strength of
the nation.
The year has been marked by
continuation of peace whereby our
country has entered into a relation
ship of better understanding with all
other nations of the earth. Ways have
been revealed to us by which we could
perform very great service through the
giving of friendly counsel, through the
extension of financial assistance, and
through the exercise of spirit of
peoples. We should give thanks for
the power which has been given into
our keeping, with which we have been
able to render these services to the
rest of mankind.
'At home we have continually had
an improving state of the public
health. The production Of our indus
tries has been large and our harvests
have been bountiful. We have been
remarkably free from disorder and re-
markably successful in all those pur-
suits which flourish during a state of
domestic peace An abundant pros
perity has overspread the land.
eve shall do well to accept all these
favors and bounties with a becoming
humility, and dedicate them to the
service of the righteous cause of the
Giver of all good and perfect gifts. AS
the nation has prospered, let all the
people show that they are worthy to
prosper by rededicating America to
the service of God and man.
Therefore I, Calvin Coolidge, Pres
ident of the United States of America,
hereby proclaim and fix Thursday,
November 81. as a day for national
thanksgiving. I recommend that the
people gather in their places of wor-
ship and at family affairs and offer up
their thanks for the goodness which
has been shown to them in such null
titude of ways"
