NEW HOPE VOTE SHOWS SPLIT

pointed out, Clinton Oblinger, one
of the present encumbents, announc-
ed he had made connections in Flor
ida, and was likely to be more or
less absent from the boro with his
duties there. Bernard Mcdonnell, the

for some time, and has said him
self that he can't stand much exer-

Meanwhile, Chief Burgess Magill
was confronted with the task Of

drunkenness and disorderliness on
the streets. Continuous complaints
were being filed, and DR.. Magill did
not shirk his task. And it became

to be burdened with the task, es-

edge of the boro.
But while DIR. Magill has freely
supplied information about cases
coming before him in his attempts
to "clean up" the town he firmly
refused to make any statements in
regards to the election and the ap-
parant split in Republican ranks. He

said he preferred not to be en-
broiled in any argument and this
can readily be understood.
However, it develops that in view
of his possible absences from the
boro, Justice oblinger put in his
resignation, accompanying it with a
petition for the appointment of his
brother, Fred Oblinger. While the
resignation was apparently known,
it was not known that the petition
had been filed for. Fred Obliuger,
and so a number of individuals in
terested in preserving order in TIE
boro advocated the appointment of
Mrs. Blackfan for Justice of the
Peace. 1t was pointed out that she
had served with credit on the County
Committee, had served as forewoman
of grand jury, had acted on both
County and Federal juries and had
been honored with places on pro-
grams of civic and club work not
only locally, but in other parts of
the State. Her admirers consequently
petitioned her appointment, disclaim-
ing afterward any knowledge of any
previous petition.
Naturally, this did not meet with
on the part of the support
ers Of the Oblinger petition, and JUS
tice Oblinger's resignation, it is un-
derstood, was withdrawn, thus leav-
ing an impasse. And it is supposed
that in retaliation Mrs. Janney was
advocated to oppose Mrs. Blackfan
for county committeeman, whose
name was already printed on the bal
lots. This candidacy first came to
light on Sunday morning before the
election on Tuesday.
Not to be outdone, Mrs. Black
fans supporters also retaliated by
Mr.. Bennett to oppose
Mr.. Mcdonnell for county commit
teeman. They started their campaign |
on Sunday night. And while they did
not have a chance to defeat Mr.. |
on such short notice, they |
reduced his vote to a
point even below Mrs. Janney, who
had never run before. Thus the vote |

DIOGENES MAY BLOW
OUT HIS LIGHT;
SEARCH ENDED

Diogenes may blow out the light,
hang his old lantern in the wood shed
and devote the time he would spend
in search for an honest man to
other worthy purposes. The search
is ended. The honest man, while his
identity has not been made known,
has given full prove of his existence.
Here is the story: Walter Hopes,
pressman on the mechanical staff
of the Recorder, drove in his motor
car to Philadelphia last Sunday and
parked his car in Market street near
Sth. When he returned, he found
motorist had collided with his car.
The only damage done was breaking

QUITE SIGNIFICANT

Grade crossing accidents can be
prevented, not by taxing public for
grade changes, but by automobile
drivers stopping and looking before
crossing railroad tracks. This is
proven by experiments of the Stand
ard Oil Company, of Indiana, which
requires all its truck drivers to
stop, look, and listen before cross
ing railroad tracks. In the year
1924, the vehicles operated by that
company crossed railroad tracks 3d.
100000 times without an accident.
Public officials and others having to
do with the regulation of traffic and
avoidance of accidents may well
consider the significance of this per-
Torrance. If truck drivers can avoid
being run down on railroad tracks,
all automobile operators, and all
Others crossing such tracks, can do
likewise. -Collegeville Independent

Prize Mixers On
Local Farms
101 Pounds OF Milk Per Day Is
Record On Spring Dale Farm

ReCoiu OH OpTmS Ddie Farm
Cow breeders of this county have
been listening to pedigree experts
boasting records elsewhere of 80
| lb. and 700 Id. cows until most
| dairymen believe such records are
! entirely impossible to the small
+ breeder. But right here in Hunter
don County are cows equal to any,
and often superior to those selling
for thousands of dollars.
One of the greatest production
records ever made under ordinary
conditions is being made daily at
the Spring Dell Farm, Milford, N.
j.
This farm is owned by Sylvannus
Apgar, and has the oldest pure
bred herd of Holsteins in Hunter
don County, having been established
in 1902.
Two months ago, one of his cows,
Spring Dell Christmas Ormsby,
started her third lactation period.
At the present time she is milking
101 pounds of milk per day at an
average test of 3.4qe butter fat.
One of the remarkable things
about this record is that, WITH the
exception of being MIXED three
times daily, she receives but ordin-
airy care. Her feed at the present
time consists of 40 lbs corn silage,
10 lbs sweet clover hay and 1G lbs
of 1870 grain ration daily.
In comparing this with official
records it must be remembered that
such records are made by animals
especially fitted and MIXED four
times daily. This ordinarily will IN
crease the milk flow 20ao or more,
and makes a larger difference in
the amount of butterfat.
AS this COW is already doing bet
ter than 80 lbs. of butter and 200
lbs. of milk in seven days, it can
easily be seen that she ranks among
the world champions. This COW must
not in any sense of the word, be
considered sport, or chance an
imal, but the result of constructive
breeding. Her sire is TRANQUILITY X.
o. Athekirk" No 267900, son of
king of the Omsbys," perhaps the
most popular bull in the East, out
of a daughter of "Tidy Athekirk
King" who was son of "Colantha
Johanna Lad" out of "Tidy Athe-
XIX" the one time champion COW Of
Canada.
The daughter of "Tidy Athekirk
Kink," mentioned above, was out of
daughter of "Ormsby Korndyk
Lad" the World Champion sire.
In this we see, not the hit and
miss methods of the old time farm
err, but the constructive and business
like methods of the modern breeder
and dairyman. Correct feeding, ac-
cording to production, good bull,
the best that can be had, and a
continual wedding out of the in
ferior animals, through the SER
vices of the Cow Testing Association,
have helped Mr.. Apear build up a
herd comparable to the best in the
world.

PREACHERS ARE INCLUDED

A Prominent preacher has come
to the remarkable conclusion that
American business men never grow
up; that even after middle age they
still seek the pleasures of youth,
mostly by making amazing asses of
themselves in the wee small hours
of the night. Well, some one must
keep the white lights burning or orr
professional reformers, both in and
out of the pulpit, might have to
look for other jobs. General observa-
lions would lead one to believe that
the crop of amazing asses is not
confined to any one profession. The
white light trail is not the only road
leading to this rather dubious OBJ
iective. -Perkasie Central News.

When you're criticising others

In the average of US all;
And lots of grave shortcomings
In the short ones and in the tall!
But when we think of evils
Men should lay upon the shelves
It's time we all went out
To take walk around ourselves.
We need so often in this life
This balancing of scales;
This seeing how much in us wins
And how much in US fails;

To take, walk around yourself.

Harry Lee of Augusta left Wednes-
Woodstock, n. B.. to start the races
at the Woodstock exhibition, Sept.
151617. According to all the dope
these races will be the hardest fought
in Aroostook and the Provinces for
the season and the Woodstock track
is about the best up that way to set
tie the supremacy for the season.
The best horses in the North Coun-
try, and they own some good ones in
that section, will be at Woodstock
this week for the simple reason that
Woodstock is the only town staging
an exhibition this week. The rivalry
between Aroostook and Provincial
race owners has always been keen
and the best horses from the two sec
tons will be there. The Woodstock
track Is very fast and with decent
weather the sport will be of a high
order.
Harry's prediction In recent in
terview that this was going to be a
banner year on down east tracks
hasn't gone very far astray. The
time made at Bangor. Waterville,
Lewiston and Skowhegan yesterday
back up the statement perfectly.
Heats from 206 IA to 210 have been
so common this year that one forsets
that only few years ago such time
as that was only looked for in the
better class of free for all horses.
Now it's different. Several of the
racing stables have. one or two en-
tries who are showing real class. John
Willard, who jumped to fame through
riding behind the wonder horse John
F. Braden has two, four year old
trotter, Gwendolne Aubrey by son
of Peter the Great, This mare is of
Grand Circuit caliber and 1T looks as
though 30 this year would be with
in her reach. She has hardly lost a
heat this year. Floyd Direct Will
lard's PAGER is one of the toughest
things to beat in this section for
years.
The Reed Brothers of Fort Fair
field have in Peterkin another four
year old by Chestnut Peter, very
high class horse. Just where he can
go is not known hut Lee vouches that
