as well as facilitating education for
many years to come.

Nese Postmaster
For SergeanfSviHe
Present Incumbent Going to Another
Place After Fifteen Years of
Satisfactory Local Service.

For the first time in fifteen years
Sergeantsville needs a new post
master. Jacob G. Stryker, who has
served for that length of time goes
to Blawenburg, Somerset county
early next year, having purchased
the store property there, where the
postoffice is located.
The Government announces that
an examination will be held at
Pennington at date to be decided
later, and that applications for the
examination must be filed on or be-
fore September %. The compen-
sation for the past fiscal year was
S79S.
The office at Sergeantsville was
established in 1920 years ago
with Jonas Thatcher as first post
master. The name of Sergeantsville
was given it because of the numer-
Gus families named Sergeant in the
neighborhood, in 1927, but today
there are none of that name in the
immediate neighborhood.
For many years the postoffice has
been located in a store, the COM
pensation not being great enough to
warrant exclusive service. On the
other hand, better service has been
given for this very reason, as rural
store hours are usually long, and
patrons of the postoffice have been
able to get their mail until late in
the evening, and until nearly mid.
night on Saturdays. Should the Of
flee be operated separately in future
it will probably be conducted along
hours generally prevailing in other
places.
There are no announced candida
eies as yet; in fact, patrons of the
office seem more inclined to be seek
ing a mantor woman)for the place.
They regard it as unthinkable that
the office might be in any danger
of being abolished through failure
to secure a postmaster. Several
villages have lost their offices from
this cause, but each of them was
smaller and did less business than
the Sergeantsville office.

The Coryells' Ferry Chautauqua
will open its weeks course on Sat
urday afternoon at the Fairgrounds
on North Main street, opposite the
Third Ward School.
This will be the first time its tent
has ever been pitched in Lambert
vile, its previous fourteen sessions
having been held in New Hope.
A very good program is being
offered, and among the big musical
features is the Zedeler Symphonic
Quintet to appear in Monday evenr
ings concert.
For years doubtful persons watch
ed Zedeler and his splendid quintet.
They marvclled at the fact that
Zedeler represented an ideal in mus
ic and that he never stopped from
his musical standards, no matter
how great the temptation. Today,
however he has convinced all those
who doubted him. Today his com
pany is perhaps the most popular
organization before the American
public and strange as it may seem
this popularity comes from his mas
terly presentation of classical mum
bcrs. Mr.. Zedeler does not depart
from the requirements of the grea
composers, but correctly interpret

improvements For
Strand Theatre
Attractive Features On Program
This And Next Week

Lambertville--The Strand Theatre
is just completing physical i'm
provements to the building which
will add materially to the comfort
of its patrons. Separate retiring
rooms for men and women are to
be opened for use today. These are
built into the west side of the lob
by and are entered from the in
side of the auditorium. M. c. Van
Nest & Son made the plumbing in
stallations.
Another improvement which will
add to the comfort of the patrons
is the removal of the ticket Office
from the front of the lobby opening
onto the street. In cold and rainy
weather patrons have been obliged
to stand on the outside to buy their
tickets. But the ticket office is now
in the rear of the lobby adjoining
the auditorium, and patrons will be
protected from the weather while
in line for their tickets.

their visions, moods and ideals.
In their ensemble numbers, the
zedelers employ two violins, cello,
4 piano, and an especially construct
ed reed organ, which takes the place
oe upied by wind instruments in
larger orchestra. With these five
ini truments they secure the fullest
symphonic effects. In addition to the
ensemble numbers are presented vio-
lin and cello solos, as well as two
victims and cello. While to some,
the word classical" does not appeal
the choice of classical numbers in
the Zedeler program is such as to
inspire everyone, whether highly ed
uested unsteady, or not. A delight
full feature of the program are the
vocal solos. Many of the instrument
tai numbers are preceded by illumin-
atiag explanations by Mr.. Zedeler.
The Zedeler Quintet is composed
of artists of the first rank, and
| with u personnel Of the same high
type as their brilliant leader, it is
ont surprising that the Iedeler
Quintet ranks with the greatest of
the smaller orchestral organizations
and approaches actual symphonic
proportions in its musicianship and
masterly appeal.

GAS co. ALLOWED
RATE CHANGES
Minimum Charge of S1.10; Quantity
Users Reduced From $40 to
S1.60 Per 1000 Cubic Feet.
EFFECTIVE ON AUGUST BILLS

The New Jersey Northern Gas
Company, which serves Lambert
vile, Stockton, Ringoes, Pennington,
Pennington and intermediate points,
was granted authority last Friday
by the Public Utilities Commission
of New Jersey to institute the new
rates advertised in this paper in
July. The change in rate, according
to report of the Commission, will
increase the income of the Gas Com
pany only $173.17 for the years
business, based on the present con.
sumption.
However, the main object of the
new rate is to give quantity users a
lower rate, and increase the mini
mum charge to al per cent of the
customers who have meters, but use
less than 500 feet of gas month.
The old schedule called for flat
rate of $2.70 per thousand cubic feet
regardless of how much gas was
used. The new rate will have a
sliding scale of $3.0s for the first
thousand feet of gas, $235 for the
second thousand, S2.10 each for the
third and fourth thousands, and
$1.60 per thousand for five thous-
and and over.
AS has been previously pointed
out in this paper, customers who
average 1000 feet of gas per month
will get their gas pc per month
cheaper. Under the old rate the
cost was $685.; under the new rate
is reduced to $5.43. And for each
additional thousand up to five, the
rate is proportionately cheaper.
However, the customer who keeps
gas in the house for convenience,
and who uses it only on special oc-
casions, the cost will be materially
increased, as the minimum charge
is now $1.10 as opposed to the old
rate of 25c
The total business of the Company
last year was $61, 772.23; under the
new rates the Commission estimated
that the receipts of the Company
would be $61,945.40, showing an in
crease of only $17317. However,
there will no doubt be customers
who kept gas connections for con-
venience, who will refuse to pay the
new minimum charge and will have
the meters removed. But on the
other hand, the reduced rate for
quantity consumers will no doubt
result in greater quantities being
used, and this is of course what the
Company seeks.

nor and Farrell Mcdonald.
Richard Barthelmess is the star
in next Mondays feature, Just
Suppose" This popular star always
assures movie fans of good en-
tertainment. This picture is some
thing new in the laurels Of Barthel-

even more appealing in this role
than in those Of his past triumphs.

Ranascay Found On
Circus Grounds
Paul kubensky Returned To Father
BY Constable Morse
WAS NOT LOCAL BOY

bambertvile-Paul Kubensky, six
teen year old son of Stanley Ruben
sky, of Burlington, was found here
on the circus grounds on Wednes-
day of last week after having dis
appeared month ago. Flyers had
been sent out after the boys dis
appearance, and Constable William
Morse recognized the youngster
from descriptions, and the latter
admitted his identity when appre-
hended.
On leaving the grounds with the
young runaway, Constable Morse
ran into the father, Stanley Ruben
sky, who had come to Lambertville
looking for daughter who had run
away only the day before. The CIR
Gus had been in Burlington at that
time, and Mr.. Kubensky believed
she had left with the circus. The
daughter had donned boys attire
before leaving, and this no doubt
caused the rumor to circulate that
a local girl had been apprehended
in the act Of running away with
the show.
However, the girl was not located
on the circus grounds, and when
Trooper Elmer Naylor and other
troopers tried to search the circus
railway cars they were denied adj
mittance without search warrant.
But thru young Kubensky's testi-
mony, it was found that several
other boys from Burlington were
working for the circus. and they
were taken by the troopers before
Justice Elmer Smith who refused to
hold them as they we're all twenty
or twenty-one years of age. They
were taken to Wilburtha Station for
questioning.
A rumor was also circulated that
these were local boys who were at
tempting to run away with the cir
Gus but the rumor was untrue. No
local boys were arrested with the
circus nor was there any evidence
that local youngsters tried to leave
with the circus.

Stockton Road WorR
Progressing Steadily

The rebuilding of the Lambert
ville-S Stockton stone road, under the
direction Of Thompson & Drumm,
the contractors, is progressing
steadily. From Stockton borough
line the roadbed is completed to the
railroad crossing at Ireland's quar-
ry. Another week will, if the wea-
Their permits, see its completion all
the way to the Lambertville city
line. The oil will be spread after
the entire roadway is completed.
The widening of the stone bridge
at the entrance to Brookville, and
the cutting off of portion of Mrs.
E. Parents yard, on the opposite
swing of the reverse curve, are big
improvements to the appearance and
safety of the road.
Never since roads have been in
use has there been really first
class highway between Lambertville
and Stockton, but another week or
two will remedy this condition.
Traffic has been sent through
part of the time, and over the week
ends, motorists carrying red flags
between the oil tanks, above Lam
bertville, and Ireland's quarry,
where a short detour was necessary
through a part of the quarry itself.
The regular detour, up the Sandy
Ridge road, from the oil tanks, to
the Brookville-D ilts' Corner road,
has been far from joy, because of
its extreme roughness, but travellers
have traversed it in a fair spirit of
patience in order that the river road
might be completed that much SOON
