In order to bring this about there
should be an organization affected that
will work for the common good of
the county, with no specific section or
municipality to have any special adj
vantage over another If a central
body could be organized with the one
aim of publicity the dominant key
note, Bergen could go forward and
blossom as the rose. 1t would be an
easy matter to perfect a Bergen Coun-
ty Club of this character, whose scope
would be limited only by a question
Of funds. Plain, systematized adver
Using would be the most effective
process, and money should be raised
at once for this purpose. There should
be no delay in starting the ball to
rolling 1t should be non-partisan,
OF course, letting pure business be the
dominating keynote. There should be
enough enterprise in Bergen County
to do splendid work along these lines.
\ commission should be empowered
to advertise the resources and attrac-
tons of the county in no uncertain
manner, and it should tell of the
charms OF Bergen in a thousand ways.
Maps and pictures would best tell the
story, and the overflow from New
York should logically go into Bergen.
The county is its own best advertise
ment if only its attractions were
set before the public A campaign of
publicit-, would do lot of good right
now, and work should be begun in
hurry.

100000 FOR BERGEN.

The fact that Bergen county showed
the largest percentage of increase of
any New Jersey county from 1900
to 1910 was a matter Of great CON
graduation to the people of this sec
ton, and proves conclusively that
Bergen is the one section that may
be depended upon within the next
ten years for not only substantial
increase, but possibly a phenomenal
growth.
But it must be understood that the
natural advantages will take on a far
larger growth if the public will slim
ulate an, interest in Bergen county
as place for residence To this end
there should be some great central
organization for the purpose of Civ
ing publicity to Bergen's resources
and attractions No doubt certain en-
terprising sections, or localities will
do lot of advertising, but this, while
it will do a lot of good, will not do
one half the real good that CON
centrated movement along the lines
of well-laid scheme for advertising
the county as a whole. There are
enough in the way OF localities to
attract a fine class of people to Ber-
gen, but the idea would be broadened
and have greater value if the county
as whole were promoted and urged
be formed such an organization out
of the various commercial and local
Improvement associations all over the
county, and there should not be any
time lost in getting at the matter
There should be a reckoning each
year of the next ten, in order to see
just what the movement is develop
ing, for in this way the plans might
be improved upon and other meas
ures adopted for furthering the idea
as a whole 1t looks no more than
logical that with all the vast terri
tory in this county that it should
have not less than 100000 population
by 1920. Indeed, the time is not so
very far off when a round million
people should be reckoned within the
borders OF Bergen.
1t is gratifying that parties in Pal
isade are taking active steps toward
such an organization, and while Pail
SADIE alone could do only very lit
tie. nevertheless it could do its part.
and thus help enhance the whole 1t
is something that ought to make
quick appeal, and there should not
be the slightest unnecessary delay in
getting the ball rolling.

RAINS CAME AT JUST
THE RIGHT TIME

Coming at the most opportune
time the rain of last Friday night
has put an entirely different phase on
the crop situation in this section of
the state. All grain have been do
ing we'll on the inch and a half rain
the first of the month, but some ex-
ceedingly hot weather in the inter-
val held them back some. Corn
through this section is showing a
splendid growth and it is exception
ally clean. Wheat and oats are show
ing equally as we'll, and with addi-
tional rains they are going to produce
heavily. AS yet nothing has appear
ed in these grains to make any ma
terial difference in their yields, and
they have been free from any of the
foes which come at this season of
the year. On the newly broken
ground this year a large amount of
flax has been sown and it is coming
up in fine shape. Three or four
steam rigs are at work in this sec
ton. turning over raw prairie, and
this will be sown to fax.

barely a scratch. The pitifui life story
of t~wo-yeer-old Dick Rutherford, who
lives at the home of w. P. Hodge,
1922 West Van Buren, street, became
public yesterday. Little Dick doesn't
know that he has any troubles, but
he seems to have had his share in the
two years of his existence.
The baby's mother died at Dicks
birth at Grace Hospital" said Mr..
Hodge yesterday afternoon. "The
father. who is now proprietor of a
general store at Rapid City, S. D.,
gave the baby and $50 to a colored
woman named Alexander. He told
her he would send money from time
to time for the baby's maintenance.
Little Dicks father failed to keep
his promise and the baby was taken
before the Juvenile Court. We are
anxious to adopt the little chap, but
so far We have been unable to OBJ
tain aay answer to our letters to his
father"
Little Dick had been left alone for
a moment in the fiat on the third
floor Of the Stanley Building Stanley
and West Van Buren, strets. He
climbed to the window ledge just as
Mrs. Hodges entered the room and
fell headlong to the cement pavement
but received no serious injury.
