New Departments Added BY New
Owner, Ralph r. Rinck

Lambertville-Ext improve
ments and alterations are being made
at the Shamalia Drug Store, AZ
Bridge street. Since the advent of
Ralph r. Rinck, who bought the BUS
mess and building several months
ago, this store has become one o.
the most progressive in the city. The
present expansion, which adds many
feet of floor space to the store, is
primarily to provide for the in
stallation of the United Cigar Stores
and Happiness Candy products.
A partition down the right side of
the store has been removed and the
depth of the store proper has been
extended to the rear to take in the
floor space formerly occupied by the
prescription department. 4h's in turn
has been moved to larger quarters
in a room at the rear of the build
ing where added conveniences provide
for the better functioning of that
department. Carpenters are still at
work on the renovations, but it is
expected that they will be completed
next week, after which the finish
ing and decorations will be completed
to make this store as attractive as
the most modern city pharmacies.

PLUTO HERE ON
FEBRUARY y
Grand Officers OF Order To Journey
Here From Oklahoma

Lambertville-Wal p. Thornton
Grand Pluto of the order by that
name which is side degree OF
the Odd Fellows, has just received
acceptance from the National Crane
Officers, of Oklahoma, that they will
be present to confer degrees. The
Grand Officers last year were from
Texas. Each year the Grand Officers
are selected from different State
and they make pilgrimage to
every state in the Union, comforting
degrees at the limitations of each
local lodge.
This will be the sixth year that
the local lodge has been honored by
the Grand Officers, and it is anti
cipated that rousing initiation will
be staged here ON Monday evening,
February 22nd. Candidates are a..
ready registered from Trenton, Doy-
lestown, Pennington, Lebanon, New
Hope, limoges, as well as large
number from Lambertville.
Word comes from other lodges al
ready visited by the Grand Officers
that the Oklahoma delegation is a
bunch of wild cats. They come from
the great open spaces where men
are men, and women are bobbed hair
bandits in knickerboekers. So tic
candidates here can well expect to
remember their experiences at the
hands of these rough and ready Odd
Fellows.
Little Opium, the tiny pickaninny
who was here as mascot for the
Grand Officers in the care of her
huge Nanny for the last two an
nual sessions, will also be on hard
again. Due to the strenuous travels
of little Opium, it is reported that
her growth has been stunted, and
that the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children had filed a
protest with the authorities de-
handing that she be placed in a
nome. But her Nanny Indignantly
denied that Opium has suffered any
hardships, and insisted that she has
been better treated since she has
been the Grand Mascot than ever be-
fore in her life. When Nanny was
told that Opium was likely to be
taken away from her and placed
/ in home, she reared back with
an angry CLINT in her eyes and. said
EFF dem folks doan know hit, dey'g
walkin' ober deir grades on tissue
paper planks! All shud worry lout
dem an git my stummick all wrink

So local members of Pluto are
anticipating some good laughs when
Nanny struts in with little Opium

PLAN TO OPEN
BRICK PLANT
Bond Holders Committee New Hope
Brick Co. Seek Action

New Hope-The Bond Holders
Committee recently appointed at a
meeting in Worthington Hall to take
steps toward rehabilitating the plant
at Hutfnagle Station, have submit
ted an agreement to all the bond
holders which will enable them to
start the plant again so that brick
can be made for Spring deliveries.
The committee is composed of
Charles A. Bothell, chairman, Phila-
delphia; Robert Tosti, New York: E.
McLain Waters, Philadelphia; Her.
man E. Bressler, New Hope; and
Charles F. Holcombe, Lambertville.
The Pennsylvania Company for In
surances on Lives and Granting An
nuities has been designated as the
repository for the bonds held by the
investors. When the bonds are de-
posted certificates are issued in their
place, and thus the bond holders
become a party to the arrangements
whereby the Company is rehabilita-
ted. The Committee is authorized by
the agreement to secure loans on the
bonds or sell them to raise funds
for financing the reorganization, and
the costs shall be borne pro rata
by all bond holders just as they shall
share in the profits after the plant
is put on its feet.
About 100000 of the bonds have
been issued, and majority of these
must be secured by the Committee
in order to authorize its legal func-
tioning. Rawle & Henderson, attor-
neys of Philadelphia, have been Gp-
pointed counsel to the Committee,
and A. E. Ford, also of Philadelphia,
has been appointed secretary.
The plant has been idle for the
last month or two, and Ives l.. Har-
vey has left for parts unknown. A.
V. Wise, the Philadelphia receiver,
was unable to raise funds on the
Receivers Certificates, and thus the
plant could not be continued in oper.
alton. Many of the stock and bond
holders contended that the reason
funds could not be raised was be-
cause Harvey had been continued as
manager of the plant. They pointed
out that he had continually stated
that the plant could not fail except
by Encouragement, and that if it
did he would get out Consequently,
the stock and bond holders logically
argued that with the appointment
of the Receiver he should be dropped.
There will be meeting Of the
Committee, Friday, at two o'clock
in the Packard Building, Philadel-
phia.
