WARD FARM
HOUSE DESTROY.
ED BY FIRE
Prompt Action of Stockton Fire
Company Prevents Fur
ther Damage.

Early Wednesday morning of last
week, between II and l o'clock. the
house on the George Bird farm,
owned by Julian f. Ward, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire. An over
heated furnace was believed to be
the cause of the fire. William Ellis,
son-in-law of Mr.. Ward, occupied
the property with his family.
The occupants were forced to flee
from the building in scanty attire
due to the sudden spread of the
flames. Mrs. Ellis, with her small
child in her arms, fled across the
fields to Mr. Wards home and gave
the alarm. Not having telephone
it was necessary to drive to Stock
ton to secure aid of the fire fight
ers. Within a few minutes the fire
apparatus was on the scene with II
members of the company, and
others followed in their cars until
80 members were fighting the
flames.
Due to the limited water supply
from wells and cisterns the firemen
conserved it to prevent spread of
the flames to other buildings. The
flames had secured such headway
on the Ellis residence that there
were no hopes for saving it. Only
small amount of furnishings were
saved from the flames, and but lit
tie of the family's personal effects
were saved.

CIRCULATION DRIVE
ENDS IN ELEVEN DAYS

point offer for subscription clubs.
After next Saturday evening there
will be big drop in the number
of points given for subscriptions.
During the last of the campaign
all subscriptions will count the
straight point schedule printed on
the receipt book covers with no
extra points of any kind.
1t is the subscriptions turned in
during the next two days that
will have an important bearing upon
the final standing of the campaign
workers. Anyone entered in the
campaign who fails to complete at
least two or three of the 5000 clubs
of subscriptions will have a big
handicap to overcome during the
last ten days of the campaign if
they expect to win one of the two
automobiles offered as prizes.
The two automobiles are Grand
prizes in the campaign. They will
be awarded to the two candidates
who finish with the highest point
standings. After the two automo-
biles have been awarded, then the
three next highest will be awarded
cash prizes.
One of the interesting features of
the campaign is the mystery attach
ed to the total number Of points it
will take to win the prizes. No one
knows at this time, not even the
campaign manager or the club
workers themselves, how many
points they will be able to secure
by the close of the campaign. nor
how many points will be required
to win an automobile.
There is no specified number of
points one has to secure in order
to be awarded any one of the
prizes, the candidates having the
highest number of points at the fin,
ish of the campaign being declared
the winners. 1t is up to each club
worker to say just how many points
will be required to win an automo-
bile
The standings of the candidates
are again published today. The next
count will be published in the Rec
ord and News next Thursday.

STOCKTON FIRE
co. CLEANS
UP DEBT
Modern Fire Apparatus Purchased
And Paid For Without Cost
To Taxpayers.

Stockton-The Stockton Fire Com
pany has just wiped out the final in
debtedness of $1,000 on its new and
modern fire-fighting apparatus.
Their Stutz engine and pumper is
now clear of debt, and the members
are to be commended for their in
dustry in paying for everything
without single cent from the Boro
treasury. And altho the equipment
is for the protection of the tax
payers, it has cost them nothing in
taxes.
Since the new equipment has been
in use the fire losses Of Stockton
and vicinity have been very low. 1t
is to the credit of the firemen, not
only that they have been industrious
enough to modernize their system,
but that they have won reputation
of promptness and efficiency in
their war against fire.

VOTE FOR RITTENHOUSE
FOR MEMBER or
THE ASSEM- 81 y

Hunterdon County Democrat gives
the following reasons why it be-
licves William f. Rittenhouse, sue
cessful farmer, man OF good
business ability, sincere, sound-mlnd-
ed and progressive, must appeal to
great majority Of Hunterdon
County voters as the kind who
should represent the county in the
legislature. The rural counties should
be represented at Trenton by more
men of this type if they are to fill
the place they should in the state
government and share the benefits
they are entitled to.
Mr.. Rittenhouse is leader in his
own township. His leadership. is
found in its commercial, religious
social and fraternal life. His pub
lie service in his own township i
quite as good demonstration OF
what may be expected in the larger
field at Trenton. Furthermore, Mr.
Rittenhouse seeks election on prin
ciples that are constructive, prac
! ticable and decent.

"When it comes to choice of

CAR TURNS OVER
THREE TIMES
Essex Coach Wrecked on York Road
With Three Men and Three
Women In It.
ONE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL

Lambertvile-An Essex Coach,
driven by Paul Piancazzo, of Allen
street, Pennington, turned over early
Sunday morning on upper York
Road, Just at the edge ef the city,
and Edna Lerch, of Ferry street
one of the occupants, was badly in
iured. The other occupants of the
car, with the exception of John
Mazarous, escaped with shakeup.
First aid was given by DR.. l.. A.
Hamilton, and Miss Lerch was sent
to Mercer Hospital, Trenton, for
further treatment. She had a con-
cussion of the brain, and Mazarous
suffered lacerations about the head
and arms,
Due to the rains of Saturday
night and Sunday morning, tae road
was slippery, and it is supposed
that the car became uumanageable
when it skidded. 1t turned com
pletcly over three times. William
Johnson, of 1877 York street, living
nearby. gave assistance TO the vic
tins of the spill, and the wrecked
car was towed to Pennington to the
garage of the Howie Moto" o., by
A. r. Johnson, local garageman.
The other occupants of the car
Miss Lerch, were the two Martindell
besides Piancazzo, Mazarous and
sisters, of Brownsburg vicinity, be-
low New Hope, and Arthur War
man. of Pennington. Mazarous al
70 lives in Pennington.
TIE party, except Pianeazzo, had
been to Somerville. When leaving
there Saturday night in another car
they had wheel wrenched off wher
It struck a traffic mushroom at 4
street intersection, which was eVi
IDENTIFY obscured by the rain. They
had then got lifts to Flemingtoi
where they got Piancazzo nut o
bed to bring them to Lambertville
But they seemed to be playing il
bad luck, for the York Hill acciden
subsequently occurred. A regret
table thing about the accident wa
that the Essex Coach was just re
Gently purchased, and Piancazzo'
mother had objected to him makini
the trip. Piancazzo's father had bee
taken to the hospital for an oper
alton only the day before, and Mr.
Piancazzo had planned for her so
to drive her to the hospital earl
Sunday morning.
There were conjeetures that tn
party had been drinking, but thi
was denied by DR.. Hamilton VIII

accident occurred, and he said ther
was absolutely no evidence of drinl,

were certain that the accident wa

Had it not been for the sturdy stet

the occupants would have bee

two of the windows were broken.
