A WISE MOVE BY THE THEATRE

Announcement has been made by
A. Rosen, new owner of the Strand
Theatre in Lambertville, that he is
to make enlargements and altera-
tions to the building, extending it
some so feet to the rear and add
ing a commodious stage.
This is not only to provide room
for vaudeville performances in the
theatre, but is to enable local or
ganizations to use the theatre for
amateur theatricals, etc.
Mr.. Rosen is making a wise move.
Not only will this tie up all enter
tainment features with his theatre,
but it will eliminate the compsti
tion he has to meet when local or
CARNATIONS stage attractions else
where.

SCHOOL NOTES
From Steel and Blue
of June IS, 1925
THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS
OF NINETEEN-TWE FIVE

On September 2, 1921, we the
Seniors of 1925 entered the Lam
bertville High School as green
Freshmen. There were about twenty
five of us in number. During our
Freshmen year we elected Miss
Eleanor Atkinson, teacher of Eng
lish, for our class advisor. FoI
our class officers we elected the
following: Fred II. Ryan, President;
Annie Woolaver, Vice-Presidenti
Violet Lambert, Secretary; and Ed.
gar Smith, Treasurer. Our Treasury
during our Freshmen year had very
little money, as we had very little
during the Freshmen year. What
we had was given to the Aathletie
and other useful Associations
By the end of our Freshmen yeaI
we had had our knocks and slams
in plenty from the whole school
We were now ready to become modi.
fed Sophomores. Before entering the
Sophomore class we were joined by
twenty or twenty-five other pupils
who had served only half term
in their Freshmen year. We all
stuck together and left school as
Freshmen, returning again in the
Fall as Sophomores.
In our Sophomore year we began
to get acquainted with the people of
our school and with their work.
On account of Miss Atkinson's ILL
ness and her leaving the High
School, we elected Miss Mary Co.'S
tello, as our class advisor, President,
Edward Amerman; Vice-President,
Annie Woolaver; Rose Lambert,
Secretary and Fred Ryan, Treasur-
er.
We began to collect money for
dues and presents. This year we
noticed that we had not only stu
dious people in our class but also
a great many athletes, who took
part in track, baseball, football ard
basketball. We won third place in
the track meet and many of our
girls formed basketball teams while
the boys trained for the baseball
teams.
We helped to raise money for
the Senior Class Day as the class
had not thought of the idea Of GO
ing to Washington. We were as
Sophomores, sister to the largest
class that has ever graduated from
Lambertville High School.
The end of our Sophomore year
we elected our officers for the COM
ing year. These were Miss Costello,
Class Advisor; Fred Ryan, Presi-
dent; Edward Amerman, Vice
President; Annie Woolaver, Secre-
tary; and Dora Dudbridge, Treasur-
er.
In nineteen twenty-four we were
Juniors and as Mr.. Snyder stated,
"the liveliest class in High School"
We surely did have class of gem
uine workers, none of whom we have
lost. Some of these who joined us
came from Frenchtown and Mil
ford. We then became acquainted
with our talented banjo player, Or
vile Emmons, and our wonderful
poetess, Portia Davy.. Also one of
the best catchers Lambertville High
School has ever known, Walter Ris-
ley. We met Annie Woolaver and
Amanda Risley, whom we found were
very good sports. We did not have
to go far for good workers who
stuck everlastingly at the job, for
We had with us Emma Shepherd,
Mary Pedrick, Helen Rocks, Thelma
Hicks, Dora 'Dudbridge, Fred Ryan,
Russell Bowe, Elton Naylor. and
many others too numerous to men,

This was a great year for our

kind may be augmented by refer
ence to the Bible.
Adam and Eve are conceded to be
the first man and women; their first
offspring were Cain and Abel; Cain
killed Abel. "And the Lord set a
mark upon Cain" records the Bible,
"lest any finding him should kill
him."
And Genesis 4:16 continues by
saying, "And Cain went out from
the presence of the Lord, and dwelt
in the land of Nod, on the east OF
Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and
she conceived, and bare Enoch."
If Adam and Eve were the first
man and woman, and Cain ant
Abel were their first children, how
could there be any other peopl,
for providing a wife for Cain? Wht

points to evolution--a slow but sur,
development from brute strength
and ignorance to enlightenment anc
Christianity.
Evolution does not disprove the
Bible--the Bible rather seems tt
bear it out. "There were giants in
those days." says the Bible. But
there are no giants today. We are
slowly but surely becoming "wisei
but weaker" That is evolution.

EDITORIAL

Continued from first column)
There have been instances in the
past, where local organizations
were providing entertainment else
where, in which the Strand did not
take in enough receipts to pay for
the cost of the pictures shown.
Local plays, minstrels, ETC., al
ways make great appeal to local
people. This means loss to the
theatre when they conflict. By pro-
viding Accommodations for them in
the theatre, Mr. Rosen will not only
change competition into business for
his own theatre, but he will be able
to eliminate the cost of pictures
which would otherwise have to be
shown.

GOLFERS AND CHURCH

Golfers will applaud the Long
Island clergyman who invited the
members of his congregation to wear
their "plus- -fours" at Sunday morn
ing services. Scotland is one Of
the few places where Sunday golf
is barred, except at half-dozen
courses. In England there is hard
ly single club which is not open
on Sunday. 1t is a common thing
for golfers, tennis players and
cricketers to worship in their athle-
tic togs- And why not? The young
Scottish theological student who won
the 200-meter race at the Paris
Olympic games last summer was a
striking example of the type of men
who are now entering the ministry.
Princeton Theological Seminary has
produced several fine athletes as
well as excellent preachers. The
closer the cooperation between
Church and sports the better it will
be for both.

THIS PRINCE is MIKE

Sarasota, Fla.,-This is the story
of the Blood who became just plain
mike"
Prince Michael Cantacuzene of a
royal Russian family once fought
in the army of the Gar of Rus
sia. He was decorated for gallan-
try in action. He was wounded
twice. Then with the World War
over, and Messrs. Lenine and Trot-
sky industriously communing over
royal family jewels, Prince Cantacu-
zene picked up the royal carpetbag
and hied him to these United States.
What was in the carpetbag is not
known, however the Prince with the
Princess established himself on
beautiful estate in Sarasota County.
The American Legion post of
Sarasota had membership drive.
The Prince was then eligible. A
member of the post, erudite in
achieving royal audiences, approach
ed the royal prospect in a royal
manner and royalty suggested that
the Prince, as World War veteran
and an American citizen, might find
it to his royal pleasure to asso-
ciate himself with his comrades in
The American Legion.
Certainly" replied the Prince,
'but forget that Prince stuff, please
call me just plain Mike" as he
signed the dotted line, mike Canta-
cuzene."

Organized Farmers Refuse
To Follow Advice Given By
Coolidge in Chicago Speech

Bradfute, of Xenia, Ohio, who had
held the office for the last three years.
New President Oppose Coolidge
Bradfute had praised President
Coolidge's address in interviews with
the reporters, while Thompson had
taken sharp issue with the presidents
views. Thompson said:
"The president in his address re.
ferred to, but failed to recognize ade-
quately, the paramount problem be-
fore the great surplus producing
states. which is the disposition Of that
surplus in a way that will not hold
domestic markets permanently to
world price levels with resultant dam
age to American farm living stand
ards.
"In taking up the surplus problem,
the president consciously or uncon-
sciously assumed the responsibility of
dealing with it."
Convention Calls for Federal Aid
Following installation of the newly
elected officers, the report ofthe reso-
lutions committee further demonstrat-
ed it's disagreement with President
Coolidge by unanimously voting for
resolution calling for federal aid in
the establishment of a farmers ex-
port corporation. The resolution fol-
lows:
1--WE indorse the enactment of a
federal law based on the principle of
farmers export corporation, pro-
viding for the creation of an agency
with broad powers for the purpose of
so handling the surplus of farm crops
that the American producer may re-
ceive an American price in the do
mestic market, and we instruct our
officers and representatives to work
for the early enactment of such a
law, founded on sound economic poll
cies and not involving government
subsidy"
The McNary- -Haugen bill is not
mentioned in the resolution, nor was it
referred to in the debate. Interviews
by International Labor News Service
with delegates indicate that the farm
ers have modified their views in ref
erence to the McNary- -Haugen bill.
They said that what they want now
is to have the federal government in
augurate the export corporation at
government expense, and later turn it
over to the farmers, but under gov
ernment supervision, after it has been
established as going concern.

can workers prosperity is shown in
the gains during the past four years
of two and a half billion dollars in saw
ings accounts. Eighteen million auto
mobiles are owned by our people, most
of whom are workers. The forty-four
and a half billion dollars of life in
surance which they held in 1921 has
been increased to sixty-four billion;
more and better homes are being built
and owned by more workers than at
any time in the worlds history.
"Our people generally are enjoying
a prosperity far beyond that achieved
by any other people at any other
period in history. There is better
feeling prevailing among employers
and workers. feeling of partner
ship, realization that the success of
the one depends on the success of the
other. These things are being
brought about through a closer OBJ
servance of the Golden Rule-that
principle of treating others as fairly
as we hope to be treated ourselves"

i" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fIippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

There is something admirable about
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur. It is
his native bluntness that age can not
wither nor custom stale. He used to
be blunt in the old days when the
writer knew him as much-loved ju-
venile judge-judge in a juvenile
court. He used to say things he
thought and sometimes the chips fell
heavily on meticulous and fussy per-
sons who interested themselves in
public affairs.
AS Secretary of the Navy he may
have been tainted with the official
snobbishness of the navy-one hopes
not, but it may have happened.
They are now telling the story of
how Secretary Wilbur indulged in an
old-time piece of bluntness the other
night at dinner where President
Coolidge was entertaining the Italian
debt-funding commission. Someone
brought up as subject of discussion
the personality Of Benito Mussolini." /"
1t was politely suggested that he
had genius for organization. No one
disagreed, but suddenly Secretary
Wilbur turned to Signor Alberto Pi-
relli, financial wizard Of Italy," and
remarked:
"That boss of yours thinks he can
accomplish everything by force. How
long does he think he can get away
with that stuff Z"

EMPLOYERS PROFIT
BY TOO MUCH POLITICS

Chicago.-The Bakers Journal, Of
fetal paper of the Bakery and Con-
fectionery Workers International
Union, says that Milwaukee unorgan-
lied workers are paying too much at
tention to politics. This is why they
are working IL and IA hours day for
$23 and $25 a week.
ave doubt whether there is another
city in the United States that can be
compared with Milwaukee, both as to
the lack Of organization among the
bakery workers as well as to the re-
peated attempts that have been made
during the more than 81 years Of it's
existence to place Local No. 2O5 upon
a. sustaining basis and in a proper
working ORDER" says the labor jour-
nal.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-12-25

No disclosure has been made of the
answer. One guesses it was MUIR
murs, polite dissimulations and pref
ty patches of politeness.
1t was pertinent question and one
the world would like to have answer
ed. Really, now, Messieurs, how long
will it be?
Here is problem that may require
some very expert handling to bring
solution:
John w. Langley, of Pikeville, KY,
was convicted some 18 months ago of
conspiracy to violate the prohibition
law.
Some twelve months ago the same
man was elected to serve two years
in congress at salary of $4,000 a
year.
A couple Of weeks ago the United
States circuit court of appeals de-
cided that Langley should serve two
years in the penitentiary and pay a
$1,000 fine.
Now, it would seem, the question
is: in which place shall he serve time
and shall the sentences run concur
rently?
At any rate, if the sentence should
stand the test of the supreme court,
it will knock off all the profits Of the
congressional salary.
Also, it would seem that, as they
say in Texas, Mr.. Langley is between
rock and hard place.
The funniest thing that has happen
ed in America in the last 80 days is
the appointment of an oyster censor
in Washington, d. G. This appoint
ment synchronized with the conven-
ing Of congress, Intentionally or other
wise.

Slogan Of Industrial Peace
Stirs Enthusiasm Of Industry,
Says Secretary Of Labor Davis

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-In concluding
his annual report to congress, Secre-
tary of Labor James j. Davis reported
progress in the field of industrial
peace and said that in his association
with men in all ranks of industry, in
Guiding labor, he had noted spirit
Of enthusiasm for service to the ma
tion and to the welfare of all. He con-
tinued:
"The welfare of the American wage
Garner is my first charge, but in the
study of conditions among the toilers
of other countries of the world have
noted the achievements of the work
ers Of my own nation. There is today
in America a better, kindlier feeling
among men engaged in industry
owner, manager, and worker. There
is recognition of the force of that apt
illustration: Two moose, leaders of
their herds, once met in deadly COM
bat. Today their locked antlers, mute
evidence of the futility of antagonism
and strife, lie bleaching on the plains"
Industry realize that the thing is not
to lock horns and die, but to lock arms
and live in industrial peace and amity.
''In closing my fifth report it is
source of pleasure to me, not because
claim any credit for the result, to be
able in summary to say that the mil
lions who were without employment
only four years ago are again engag-
ed in profitable industry. Notwith-
standing the present disturbed condi-
ton of the coal industry, a comparison
of this group with the great body of
Al ,000,O 900 persons gainfully employed
is testimony to the general prosperous

they are entitled.

PEACE PLAN SURVIVES
IN GARMENT INDUSTRY

New York.-The joint board of
sanitary control in the women's gar
ment industry celebrated it's fifteenth
anniversary at dinner that was at
tended by officers of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union,
employers and public officials.
Trade unionists and employers are
on the board. 1t was created under
an agreement which ended the general
strike Of 1910. The strike was pro-
test against sweatshops, fire hazards
and other bad working conditions.
In reviewing the boards remark
able success, speakers said it was the
one thing created by the agreement
which has weathered all storms, ignor-
ed all quarrels and survived all
changes in the garment trades.
