TWENTY FIVE REASONS WHY YOU
SHOULD OWN YOUR OWN HOME

make your own home cozier makes 1t
more valuable.
Because you can make a profit as
property goes up. :,
Because nothing is safer than the
home you live in.
Because it is the best saving plan
ever offered.
Because as a home owner, you get
more respect from everyone than a
renter does.
Because the acquisition of home
has been the foundation for more in
dependence in old age than any other
investment in the whole wide world.

RICHARD CROOKS TO
SING IN BENNINGTON
"Berceuse" Crooks Favorite

"rhe 'Berceuse'. from Jocelyn, by
GODDARD, is one of my greatest favo-
rites,' declared Richard Crooks the
sensational new tenor, who appears
in Pennington at the Palace Theatre
under the auspices of the Chorus
of the Alumni. Mr.. f. C. c. Crooks
is said by critics to be "tenor by
the Grace of Cod. At the age of
81 and some odd months he held the
position of tenor of the Fifth Aven-
ne Presbyterian Church in New
York, the most aristocratic church
of its denomination in the city. "Oh,
like to sing most anything, as
long as it's good, but the Berceuse',
with its tender, grooming melody,
has always awakened In me senti-
ments no other song has been able
70 evoke.
81 presume that I've got out of
singing all the fun that some boys
get out of athletics" continued Mr.
Crooks. "a don't ment by that
wasn't active, and all that, but
never did get SO much pleasure out
of anything else as ! did out of my
singing"
Mr.. Crooks certaining doesn't have
the appearance of hot house plant
nor of recluse, and his war re-
cord would indicate that he is, as
he says, fairly active physically

WAITED ON DOOR STEP
To- PAY FOR RED
CROSS MEMBERSHIP

bertville-Generou response
is being met by the local committee
in the Annual Red Cross Roll Call.
One instance of the appreciation
felt by local people for the COM
mendable work of the Red Cross
was related by one of the team
captains yesterday. The canvassers
have been handing out copies of
the attractive folder containing con
vincing pictures and facts of Red
Cross work. Where people were not
ready to subscribe for membership
at the time, these folders were left,
and the people told that the cam
vasser would return the next day.
& One housewife was so impressed
with the proposition that she was
out sitting on the door step the
next morning waiting for the can
vasser. SHE DIDN'T WANT TO
BE MISSED!
In the past many men and their
wives have contributed individual
memberships Of $1.00 each. Half of
all individual minimum memberships
goes to the National Red Cross, and
the other half is used for local work.
If husbands and wives will combine
their contributions and take out a
$500 membership between them, it
will mean $3.50 for local work, and
only so cents of it will leave home.

INDIANS TO SETTLE
IN LAMBERTVILLE


The improved Order of Red Men
is about to organize branch in
Lambertville. This organization has
over 100000 members throughout
the United States with about 10000
located in Tribes and Councils in
New Jersey.
Tribes are composed of Men be-
tween the ages of Is and 80 years,
every member citizen of the Uni
ted States while the fraternity does
not recognize creed or politics it
makes it impossible for an alien to
become a member,
Councils are composed of women
between the ages of 16 and so years,
every member must also be a citizen
of the United States.
The principles of the Improved
Order of Red Men are Freedom,
Friendship and Charity. Freedom to
degree in the meetings where
every member is on an equal with
one another. Friendship wherein a
Friend is needed at all times making
it so that all members are made to
feel that member is Friend to
be called upon socially and other
wise. Charity, not in the literal sense
hut by doing for those who are in
need and at time when it is most
ESSENTIAL and then again not as
charity is many times talked of
but neighborly and to see chat all
members are charitable to one an-
other at all times.
The Red Men under its laws
are beneficial order. 1t pays sick
and funeral benefits also caring for
orphans of its members by a fund
that keeps an orphan at home with
its own people, this being the first
order to adopt this plan for the
care of orphans.
A community will be benefited by
he institution of either a Tribe OF
Council as it often times enables
citizens to gather in conclave which
better fits them to do for one an
other and to broaden their intellect
by becoming acquainted with then
neighbor.
When the Representative of this
order calls on you be ready to nc.
cept the offer.
Fl. f. Stetser of $40 Federal St.
Camden, is the person to address or
the above organization.

A LETTER

Mr.. Editor
Why must the public be not only
asked but besieged to finance the
High School senior class in plea
sure trip to Washington They are
furnished free twelve years of
schooling, even to books, paper and
pencils, more years If from any
cause, worthy or unworthy, they
cannot finish the course in twelve,
They have holidays innumerable for
which teachers must be paid. The
public is asked to patronize their
food sales at the prevailing extor-
Tomato prices. Their time and
strength are given to dances, recep-
tons, concerts and plays with their
attendant hours and hours of prac-
ticing, all of which have no legiti-
mate part in public school life and
which have aided materially in low
ering the scholastic standard of
which we were once so proud in
our graduates.
Is the trip necessary? Is IL even
advantageous Well, it might be
worth quarter or half eagle to
some of them. They have athletics
and educational contests for their
pleasure and profit. Let them Learn
to be content with sane life and
not be preying on the taxable pub
lie for things so needless,
Taxpayer.

HISTORICAL FILM
SpLENDIDLY DONE

Picturing a story that never grows
old-one that is immeasurably rich
ar in romance, dramatic values and
other desirable qualifications than
the great majority of modern
stories written directly for the
movies" Barbara Frietchie" To-
night at the Strand Theater is en-
tertainment not to be overlooked
by the iaded picture-goer. 1t strikes
a different note in photoplay
styles" 50 courageously that it un-
doubtedly Is destined to be one of
the most talked of productions of
the season.
One might expect to see in Bar
bara Frietchie" great deal Of the
Civil War fought all over again,
with the spectacle of marching men
and flashing muskets leaving but
slight footage for anything else. But
such is not the case. OF necessity,
there are war shots. The real en-
phasis, however, is placed on the
story of Barbara Frietchie herself,
and her remarkable love for Cap
tain viii Trumbull of the enemy
forces, that meant more to her than
North, South, family or even life
itself. And this inspiring romance,
in its transference to the screen,
has lost not one little bit of its
tremendous appeal.
Florence Vidor, as the lovable
Barbara Frietchie" of 80, is de-
serving of all the compliments that
may be paid her. For no more sim
cere, life-like and convincing sill
versheet study has ever been en-
acted by this talented favorite.
Likewise, Edmund Lowe creates
a tremendously forceful impression
| in the role of the sweetheart sol
der, Captain win Trumbull'
Ranking far above the ordinary
run Of pictures and without seek
ing to be a spectacle" Barbara
Frietchie" is, nevertheless, one of
! the most pleasingly entertaining and
edueative screen productions releas-
ed in many months.

FIELDS APPEALS
3O-DAY SENTENCE

Lambertville-The postponed trial
of William L. Fields, who was
charged with driving an automobile
while under the influence of alcohol
was held in the Commission Cham.
Der last Thursday evening, Novem.
Der 9th. Harry Stout, of Pennington
represented Mr.. Fields, and Prose.
cutor Lannigan, of the Motor We.
hiele Department, acted for the
State.
Mr.. Fields car collided with a
car belonging to Charles Lanning,
Jr., of Trenton, on Sunday, Octo-
Der 18th. He claims that he had
lost control of the car after the
left front hub cap had struck the
mud guard of car proceeding the
Lanning car. State Trooper Kier-
nan arrested Mr.. Fields and charg-
ed him with being intoxicated.
At the trial last Thursday At
torney Stout tore Trooper Kiernan's
testimony to shreds. He was follow
ed on the witness stand by DR.. r.
c. Magill, of New Hope, who testi-
fled that he had examined Mr.. Fields
after the accident. II was brought
out in the cross examination that
DIR. Magill's examination was some
two hours after the accident. At
torney Stout made DR.. Magill adj
NIT that he made only superficial
examination, and that he didn't even
take Mr.. Fields pulse. However,
DR.. Magill believed that he was in.
toxicated.
On the witness stand Mr.. Fields
declared that he was not intoxi-
Gated, but voluntarily stated that he
had taken drink after the accident
when he reached Lambertville. This
had been given TO him in kindness
by someone to steady his nerves
after the excitement of the acct
dent.
A. w. Muirheid, who was riding
with Mr.. Fields at the time of the
accident. testified that he had been
with him for some time before
starting out with the car, and that
he was certain that Mr.. Fields was
not intoxicated He said that he
would not have gone with him in
the car if he had thought him under
the influence of liquor.
Thomas F. Kilroy. garage owner,
was next called. He said that Mr..
Fields had phoned him after the
accident to have the car lowed in
and repaired. He said he went inn
mediately to the scene. and that he
had found Mr.. Fields absolutely nor
NAL in every way.
Harry Coulton, who is employed
at Green's Machine Shop, testi-
fled that he passed the scene after
the accident, and stopped. He said
that he did not smell liquor on
Fields breath, and that he appear
ed to be normal beyond being ex-
cited.
Justice of the Peace, Elmer w.
Smith, who presided at the trial,
declared that in his opinion the de-
PENDANT was drunk when the acci-
dent happened, and sentenced him
to 80 days in jail His drivers
license was cancelled for one year.
Attorney Stout Immediately filed
notice of an appeal and will demand
trial by jury at Pennington. Mr..
Fields bail of $500 was continued.

DR.. MACILL HEADS MEDICAL BODY

a member of the DIR. Granville A.
Lawrence Clinic at the Northeastern
Hospital of Philadelphia.
He was born in Carversville in
1881; graduated from George School
at Newtown in 1902, and from the
Medico Chirurgical College in Phil
adelphia in 1906. His first practice
was in the Pittsburg mining district
where his work was largely among
accident cases. His experience there
was extremely valuable in surgical
practice.
In 1908 he established his prac-
tice in Carversville, his home town,
and was there for four years until
he came to New Hope in 1912. He
became interested in eye work about
ten years ago, and for year or
more attended the DIR. l.. Webster
Fox Clinic at Philadelphia. But for
the last four years he has partici-
pated in the operative work of the
clinic at Northeastern Hospital.
With the growth of his practice
as an eye specialist, DR., Magill has
added to his clinical and operative
equipment an extensive line of eye
surgical appliances. Chief among
these is one of the latest scientific
developments in this profession-an
electric magnet for extracting for
eign bodies from the eye. This mag
net is operated thru a transformer,
and has tremendous pulling force.
Formerly the eyesight was usual
ly lost when pierced by a foreign
body. Surgical operations are hid
eously painful, and even then did
not always save the eyesight. But
by the use of this magnet the OBJ
ject that has pierced the eye can
be drawn out thru the incision it
made while entering the eye.
And while congratulating DIR. Ma
gill for being honored by the Bucks
County Medical Society, we also
congratulate him for his progress
in this highly specialized line of
work.

MARY GROWS UP AGAIN
AS DOROTHY VERNON

In "Rosita," Mary Pickford APP
peared as grown-up young wo-
man, with the famous curls held in
place by a baretta comb, and her
admirers Immediately accepted her
with the same enthusiasm as they
did when she was a child on the
screen. AS the street singer of
Seville, Mary portrayed a charac
terization totally different from any
thing she has ever done in the past.
In Dorothy Vernon of Haddon
Hail." coming to the Strand Thea
re tomorrow and Saturday, Miss
Pickford again appears as grown
woman, but instead of the rags of
the street, she wears gorgeous
clothes against background of
beautiful settings, and is a fashion
able fady of Elizabethan England.
1t is a real test of the versatility
of this star and she rises to greater
histrionic heights than at any time
during the past. The part of Dorothy
Vernon calls for the utmost in dra-
matte acting, with expressions vary
ing from the comedy for which
Miss Pickford is famous to extreme
ly dramatic moments, one Of which
shows what happens when she rea-
Lies that in her haste she has caus-
ed an order to be given for the
death of her lover.
AS Dorothy Vernon, Mary Pick
ford appears more beautiful than ever
and the vivacious and wilful little
lady of Haddon Hall will win the
hearts of those who see the picture
just as in it she wins the heart Of
Sir John Manners.
