PICNICS GOING TO FOREST
PARK AT CHALFONI

Several Sunday School and other
picnics from this section are going
to Forest Park, at Chalfont, Pa,
during July and August.
The Sunday Schools around Ser
geantsville and Rosemont expect to
go there, having made several pre-
vious visits with highly satisfactory
results. 1t is generally conceded
that it is the most pleasing place
to picnic within ordinary autoing
distance.
Eight taxpayers have filed com
plant with the Readington town
ship committee in regard to the
condition Of the dirt road from
Shampanore's in Whitehouse east to
the first cross roads. Over 100 auto
mobiles have been stuck fast in the
mud there recently and at one time
there were thirty fast along this
road.

Local Men In
Oklahoma
Dix and Hildebrand Write Inter,
esting Experiences

Lambertville-C. f. Dix and Lewis
Hildebrand, formerly stationed at
the Tuscarora Oil Pumping Plant
at Centre Bridge, are in Oklahoma.
where they were sent by their en-
ployers. Both have written interest
ing items of their trip thru Okla
homa and Kansas, and wanted to be
remembered to their many local
friends. Their families are still here,
but as soon as they are definitely
located and secure homes they will
be joined by them later.
Mr.. Dix, writing from De Noya,
Okla, says there are literally thou
sands of oil wells flowing there,
with daily production of over
100000 barrels. The Carter Oil Co.,
producers for Standard Oil, have
just taken over 100000 worth of
choice Usage District leases. This
is called the Burbank Field" for
merly known as "Whiz Bang" and
Mr.. Dix says it is considered the
toughest town in Oklahoma. He
said that hold-ups and daylight
bank robberies are common. The
bank there was robbed twice within
week during June, and at Drum
right the sheriff was killed during
bank robbery Nr Dis saws it
reminds him of what he has heard
aboue the "49 Gold Fields"
Mr.. Hildebrand is located at Rails
ton, Okla, and like Mr.. Dig, wishes
his subscription to this paper con
tinued so that he can keep in touch
with old friends.
One of the interesting items men,
toned by Mr.. Dix is that free camps
for auto tourists are provided in
nearly all the towns in that section.
This is something that should recon-
mend itself to towns in this section
of the Delaware Valley where tour
ing is becoming more popular every
year. These tourists have money to
spend, and local merchants could
get some of it if they would provide
camp grounds.

is building a bungalow in Delaware
Grove, at the northerly end of New

This is one of the prettiest spots
along the Delaware, with splendid
river front, and Mr.. Roberts thinks
that additional houses will be built
there in the near future. 1t seems

TroIleys TO Speed Up.

While some of the trolley lines are
going out of business for lack of
patronage-and lack of pep in the
management, the Doylestown and
Easton line is going to speed up its
cars, cutting thirty minutes from the
running schedule between the Bucks
County seat and Northampton's me
tropolis. This will also reduce the
number of cars required, as well as
employees, besides giving the public

(From Our Regular Washington

(From Our Regular Washington
Correspondent
The sad spectacle of a great poll
teal party being ruthlessly sacri-
feed to the political ambitions of
single man, constituencies in
dividual who controls less than a
majority of Democratic delegates,
has filled Washington observers with
conflicting emotions throughout this
week. VIM. G. McAdoo on a rule
or ruin policy determined to be
presidential nominee or wreck his
party, found himself disgraced and
losing ground after the disclosures
of his conduct in his association with
E. l.. Doheny and his unlawful pros
ecution of the claim for 100000 for
the Republic Iron & Steel Co., be-
fore Treasury employees, most of
whom he had himself appointed to
office. This latter case was in direct
violation of the law which forbids
government officials to prosecute be-
fore departments with which they
have been associated any claim
against the Government until they
have been out of office at least two
years. Finding himself fast slipping,
McAdoo enlisted the services of a
secret political organization, the
ku Klux Khan, and with its aid is
now destroying the Democratic par
ty. This is not Republican, but
Democratic opinion. The New York
World, leading Democratic paper of
the country, says, eff the Democra-
tic party is to live it must defeat
McAdoo. Nothing else can save it
from division and utter destruction.
If the party is to be saved the
first duty of all men who consider
its interests above their own is to
compel the withdrawal of McAdoo."
President Coolidge has decided
that the United States shall be rep
resented at the allied conference
called for July 16, to arrange the
methods whereby the Dawes plan
for the settlement of the German
debt and the allied claims shall be
put into operation. Aside from the
fact that this essentially an Ameri-
can plan, devised by the man who is
now candidate for Vice President on
the Republican ticket, the United
States has a direct interest in it's
outcome and, therefore, in the com
ing conference. While this country
has generously refrained from ask
ing anything from Germany in the
way of reparations, it is entitled
under the terms of the armstice, not
the treaty-to reimbursement for
the cost of occupation of Germany
pending the negotiation and sign
ing of the treaty. Germany owes the
United States 5000, 900, the cost
of the Rhineland occupation. That is
lien which must be protected at
the coming conference. Consequently
disregarding unreasoning partisan
criticism, charging on the one hand
too much for interference in Euro
pean affairs and on the other too
little, the President has designated
Ambassador Kellogg to represent
this country and has chosen Col.

Bob La Toilette has been having
a terrible time trying to prevent
the Farmer-Labor-P Progressive con-
vention, dominated by VIM. 2. Fos-
ter and his fellow socialists, from
endorsing La Toilette for the presi-
dency. La Toilette realizes perfect
ly that an endorsement by the So
cialists, who captured the convention,
would only hurt him with the really
progressive farmers and workers Of
the country. On the other hand, Fos-
ter and his ilk, |. w. VS.. and all,
recognize La Toilette as nearer their
ideal for President than any other
man who could possibly secure their
serious consideration of any con-
siderable body of voters. La Toilette
insulted the Farmer-Labor-ite re-
peatedly but even though he finally
warded off direct endorsement, and
the convention nominated Duncan
Mcdonald, VIM. 2. Foster announces
that if La Toilette will repent and
play with his crowd he can still
have their votes.
La Toilette is certain to win lot
of votes from dissatisfied Demo-

Charles g. Dawes, Presbyterian in
faith, banker in trade, and Briga-
der General during the World War,
commands respect and confidence
for his accomplishments. He was
born poor, worked his way thru the
Cincinnati Law School as railroad
engineer, and graduated at the age
of 81. His unfagging zeal built up
a large law practice, and he organ
lied the Central Trust Company of
Illinois, of which he is still presi-
dent.
He enlisted as a buck private at
the beginning of the World War,
but rapidly forged ahead by his
almost superhuman ability. In
France he had charge of supplying
food to the army. and his success
under severe handicaps made him
an outstanding figure.
One thing is certain: He won't
stand for any foolishness by do
nothing Senators while he presides
over that body as Vice. President.
