diarrhoa, sore throat, full of cold,
give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours
all the constipated poison, undigested
food and sour bile gently moves out
of its little bowels without griping,
and you have a well, playful child
again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless "fruit laxative" be-
cause it never fails to cleanse the lit

the stomach and they dearly love it's
pleasant taste. Full directions for

ton, and after careful and thought
full deliberation endorsed the names of

Now that complete ticket has been
launched and three excellent men
chosen for the race, let us hope indi-

Mixup On Election
For Fort Lee Board
Of Education Man.
II. ID. SchaU Announces NOu
VIII Remain In The Race,
Which COmplicates Matters.

A general misunderstanding has
arisen concerning the vacancy which
will occur on the Fort Lee Board of
Education in March. AS stated in
last weeks "Palisadian," the Woman's
Club of Palisade has asked DR..
Ghales P. Berkey to accept the nomin-
alton for the position. DR.. Berkey
replied that he would do so only on
condition that the members of the club
assure him that he will have prac-
tically the unanimous support of the
entire community back of him.
1t seems, however, that this is not
to be. The Woman's Club, while it
was carrying on negotiations with DR..
Berkey, forgot all about the present
member of the Board who holds the
position which is soon to be vacated.
He is Mr. H. D. Schall, of Palisade.
Mr.. Schall was filling out the unex
pired term of Mr.. Douglas, also of
Palisade. MIR. Schall said, when in
terviewed, that he had nothing to say
except that he would be a candidate
for reelection
1t is not known what action the
Woman's Club will take on this new
phase of the subject, because when
it wrote to DR.. Berkey, it did not
know that there would be another
Palisadian as a candidate for the po-
sition.

nearly as pretentious as some of the
things essayed heretofore by the
Comedy Club, it was well put on
better, in fact, that some, because it
did not require so much business"
which is the upsetting of so many
amateur performances. The fidelity
with which this last play was put on
reflects great credit upon the stage
managers art, and evinced his pains
taking care in preparation. The pa
irons of the Comedy Club have mach
to be thankful for, because the organ
ization has been leading factor in
the social life of the entire Hilltop
section. The one regret is that suit
able stage with suitable equipment is
not available for their labors. Per-
haps the new high school may fur
nish this exact thing in it's fine audi
forum, for the modern day march of
progress in school construction is
looking to get the most useful ends out
of school buildings. The public pays
for the schools, and is entitled to their
use to the fullest extent, whether for
classroom work, recreation evenings,
or the broader channels of vocation
as developed in village dramatics and
social intercourse.

Palisade has a real live baby Boy
Hero. 1t is little Billy Messenger.
He scared away two bad men from
the Messenger home last Thursday
night, and did it without compromis-
ing his dignity or position as baby.
A little after ten o'clock on Thur
sday evening, an alarm OF burglars
was raised by the w. T. Messengers,
of Cumbermede and Bluff roads, Pail
SADIE. Within a few moments the
house was completely surrounded by
about a dozen neighbors armed with
automatics, canes, hockey sticks, and
various other weapons with which to
fell house breaker. Then Tom Dial
ton and Heft, the patrolmen, came
along and entered the house accom-
panied by all the watchers, who wan
dered through the rooms completely
forgetting the fact that someone
ought to have remained on the out
side.
The door to Mrs. Messengers bed
room, occupied by Mrs. johnson, of
st. Louis, Mo-, was locked and it was
thought to contain the intruder. Tom
Dalton went out on the upper bal
cony and entered the room by a Win
dow which was open wide. He
searched the room for the miscreant,
but the bird had flown. A gas jet
was found burning low, something
which the Messengers never do, and
the room was in disorder. Every
drawer had been ransacked and the
valuables taken.
The alarm was first given by little
baby Bill Messenger, age two, who

||Pair of Cloves"
Plays For Charity.

The second performance of "a
Pair of Gloves" by the Grantwood
Comedy Club was a repeat in behalf
of the Associated Charities of Cliff
side Park. The Fire Hall was again
well filled and the comedy went off
much smoother than before. AS an
amusing farce "a Pair of Gloves" is a
success. 1t is funny all over, and a bit
more familiarity with the run of
things on Tuesday night made it a
much better production, and one
highly creditable to those engaged in
it's presentation.
Mr.. Scott was excellent, Mr.. Voss-
berg was better than in anything he
has ever done, George Koch was a
clever lover and wife combined and
did WE'LL Mr.. White fitted the robust
demands of his character admirably
and there was no better touch of act
ing in the play than his, unless, per-
haps, an exception be made in Mr.
Wellman, who was really clever and
deserving of much praise for his
comic naturalness.
Among the lady members of the
cast, perhaps no one will question the
good taste of passing the leading
honors over to Mrs. Koch Her long
experience and natural abilities made
her work of exceptional merit. Miss
Mutt, Miss Flagge, Mrs. White and
Miss Beaker, all did well. Mrs.
Whites work was well done, the lit
tie she had to do, and her makeup
fine. Miss Blake made a very hand

Wild Geese Hit
Heavenly Trail

Last Sunday a flock of wild geese
were seen flying over this section of
the moral vineyard about our-thirty
o'clock in the afternoon, going North,
and making time to beat the band.
"How fast were they going, do you
Think" asked one Palisadian of an
other who happened to see them scoot
past away up there in the sky.
ooh, not so very fast. Perhaps not
over thirty miles an hour"
"Say, you are away off," replied
the first speaker.
"Well, l happen to know. l don't
believe all this talk about ducks and
things flying as fast as the wind, or
sixty miles an hour. There's nothing
to it,
"Well, ducks often fly sixty miles
an hour, and perhaps even faster.
Carrier pigeons make sixty miles, and
some birds must go eighty miles"
And before the twain could say Jack
Robinson the flock of wild geese were
out of sight. They were going very
fast, truly. Prophet De Voc, of
Hackensack, would say this goose
story would indicate a warm spring,
and an early one.

A Woman's College
For State of NJ.

"a women's college for New Jersey"
was the battle cry at the meeting of
the Women's Auxiliary of the U. c.
T., of Grantwood, held at the home
of Mrs. j. r. Fridlington on Wednes-
day afternoon last.
Mrs. Stella Biddison, of Ridgefield
Park, vice-president of the Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs for the sixth
congressional district of New Jersey,
was the guest of honor. She brought
a message of inspiration and enlight-
eminent to those present, and received
most earnest attention from her hear
ers.
Mrs. Biddison told her sister en-
thusiasts that the college was prac-
tically assured, a goodly portion of
the $4,000 needed for its establish
ment having been subscribed. Twelve
arces of land, in New Brunswick, adj
joining Rutgers College, had been
presented to the Federation as a site
for the proposed women's college, and
this had been followed by the offer
of the free use of a large building.
Other large money donations were
waiting to be subscribed, as soon as
the evidence of general loyal support
of the womanhood of the state was
conclusive. New Jersey babe fair to
be the last state in the Union to pro
vide the highest education for its am
bilious young womanhood. Would
not the principal women's organiza-
tons of the Palisades unite for the
purpose of raising, say, 500 year
for four years in support of this great
project?
Mrs. Biddison also spoke in her
capacity as poormaster of Ridgefield
Park, urging the need of reform in
the tri-township poor farm.
The meeting was ably presided over
by the president of the society, Miss
Emma Hodkinson. Much pleasure
was given by the singing of Mrs. Kir-
mayer.

Two Champion Teams
Play Basket Ball.

The most important interscholastic
basketball game of the season in this
section of the country will be con-
tested to-day at Englewood. The OPP
posing teams are the New Britain
High School five and the Englewood
High School quintet.
The New Britain team is an ex-
ceptionally fast one for schoolboy
aggregation. Its record his year is
unsullied. | has beaten the crack
school teams of Connecticut, and so
feels that it has every right to lay
claim to the interscholastic basket
ball championship of its home state.
Of course it has not played every
team in the state; that would be an
impossible feat; but the New Eng
land followers of basketball are unan-
imous in giving it the Connecticut
state championship.
The Englewood High School team
is one of the fastest and most sensa-
tional boys teams ever seen in this
vicinity Starting the season with a
defeat at the hands of a very fast
team, like Dickinson High School
team of Jersey, and only by single
basket at that, it has won eighteen
games in succession, one of the most
remarkable runs of victories ever re-
corded by a New Jersey high school
team. 1t met and defeated Dickinson
at Englewood by score of 1913,
thus more than making up for the
defeat earlier in the season. The New
York papers have given the Engle-
wood boys credit for winning the
New Jersey state championship.
Paul Brady, of Palisade, is the CEN
ter and one of the best players on
team which is composed of stars.
To-day's game is for the interstate
championship of New Jersey and
Connecticut The winner will in all
probability meet the winner of the
New York City high school series for
the championship Of The three states

shortly before ten began to cry. Mrs.
Messenger went up from down stairs,
where the family was gathered, and
found the little boy wildly excited.
All he could say was, Mamma

To the best of his ability he tried to
show his mother how the man had
entered the window and gone through
the room to the hallway where he
had entered the room, which door had
been found locked. But in her de-
sire to sooth the child's nerves, Mrs.
Messenger never suspected the truth.
Then she noticed the wide open win
dow in baby's room, which she had
opened but three inches. She called

quiet little BiIly's fears.

noises upstairs, but no one believed

could not get in her room. Finally,

A most unique missionary concert
was given last Sunday evening at the
Grantwood Congregation Church en-
titled "Indian Manners and Religious
Customs from the Cradle to the
Grave" After the devotional exer-
cises the pastor explained that the
exercises and songs were compiled by
Mrs. Paul Douglas whose husband is

one of the mission study books for
this year. Mr.. Donaldson announced
the program and explained each part.
Mrs Middleton, of Palisades sang
two Indian songs in a most pleasing
manner.
Misses Vivian Donaldson, Estelle
Unworthy, Helen Moody, Dorothy
Berls, Nina Schomber, and Nellie
Carmichael were dressed as Indian
squaws. They sang the Hope Lula
by, and performed the incarnation to
the Rain God. Little Wallace Mac
Donald acted as Medicine Man. There
were ten boys who acted as Indian
Braves. They sang song and char
tered the Lords prayer. The most
interesting and instructive part of
the program was Mrs. Donaldson's
chalk talk on Religious Symbols in
art. At the close the pastor made a
plea for the American missionary AS
ISOLATION. The offering was liberal.
The church was crowded.
