Not So Strange After All.

You may think it strange that SO many
people are cured of stomach trouble by
Chamberlain Tablets. You would not,
however, if you should give them trial.
They strengthen and invigorate the stom-
ach and enableit to perform its functions
naturally. Mrs. Rosie Rish, Wabash,
Ind, writes, Nothing did me the least
good until began using Chamberlain's
Tablets. 1t is decidedly the best medi-
cine for stomach trouble / have ever
used" For sale by all dealers.

AmericaniZation
Service At The
Congregational

| America in miniature, or, as it
might be thought of, a piece of the
hem of it's flag, was the unique gath
ering which took place on last Sun
day evening at the Congregational
| Church.
The Americanization service held
at that time was essentially a patri-
otto love feast, Americanized and
together as equal citizens of free
country to do it honor.
Sunday evenings meeting was
beautifully conceived and carried out
in the twilight on the church grounds,
the whole being prettily decorated
with American flags.
The service opened by the marching
out of the congregation to the sing
ing of Coward Chistian Soldiers
the organ and the piano being out of
doors, near the specially constructed
platform. Patriotic songs and hymns
were then sung, and the flag raised
by the Mr.. Leeger, president of the
Young Peoples Society.
After prayer by the pastor the flag
was raised on the new flag pole,
which all joined in saluting, Then
in it's honor, the "Star Spangled Ban
ner, was sung with great patriotic
| fervor.
This was followed by praise SER
vice. Then Mr.. Leeger made few
remarks explaining and interpreting
the unique occasion which had called
his hearers together. He explained
that the great object was to unity
them all into equal citizens of com
mon flag.
Mr.. S. N. Sears made short and
Illuminating address on "Naturaliza-
tion," explaining to the foreign born,
and speaking members, the simple,
necessary methods for becoming ma
turalized American citizens. His
words were interpreted to the
Italian residents present by assistant
pastor Gozzo.
Pastor Church delivered a patriotic
address having for its theme" Ameri-
canizat ton"
After the pastors address, the
presentation of silk American flags
was made to four recently naturalized
Americans; of these three were
Italians, and one, Mr.. John R. Frid-
lington, who has recently become an
American citizen.

Bergen County
Organizing Local
Option Leagues

The Ridgefeld Park Branch of the
Bergen County Local Option League
met at the municipal Building and
organized by electing Joseph Fletcher
President, Warren Abbot LIST Vice
President, H. M. Dutt, End Vice
President, J. W. Wallace, Secretary
and H. J. Dexter Treasurer. An ex-
ecutive committee of II was selected
as follows: Charles H. H. German,
Harry F. Ayers, H. H. Holmes, E. r.
Proctor, j. p. Ewing, Arthur Kneirim,
Chas. Orleman, A. B. Colt, E. j. Brook
ms, E. A. Gray, E. A. Dassler and J.
H. Plummer. The executive Commit
tee is included in with, and is part Of
Committee of One Hundred" citi-
zens.
Up to the present time, Ridgewood,
Hackensack, Rutherford and Tenafly
have organized branches of the Leag-
ue, the headquarters being at Ridge
wood. 1t is expected that every town
of consequence in Bergen County will
soon have an organization with its
own committee of 100" public spirit
ed citizens. Each municipal commit
tee is now actively at work obtaining
signatures of voters who favor this
common-sense method of dealing with
civic problem in such liberal way
that satisfies nearly all of the people;
and so thorough and complete are the
organizations being perfected, that it
is expected that in short time 10000
signatures will be obtained to petit
tions for this equitable and just Home
Rule Law. Bogota and Teaneck are
organizing under the leadership of
Mr.. p. A. Spencer and other public
spirited citizens. Bergenfeld has now
under consideration an organization
there. Without any great effort, the
Ridgefield Park branch within three
days secured over LOO signers.

taken pretty bungalow there for
the summer and are enjoying the de-
lights of waterside life, with plenty
of good fishing. Junior Jackson, who
is with his parents at the lake, has
become a good oarsman and is on the
water half the time. Mr.. Jackson
writes very enthusiastic letters to his
friends in praise of the place as a
summer resort and says that his
health has been much benefited by
his sojourn there.
The Middletons and Andersons will
be gone two weeks on their trip and
visit. When they get together with
their old friends the Jacksons there
will be some great doings, as the par
ty is bent upon having the best kind
of good time.
The Wilbur F. Hollis, also, leave
to-day in their own car to join the
Jacksons at Lake Winnepesauka, and
will carry young James Binner cold

The First Public
Observatory Open At
The Amusement Park

The first public astronomical obser-
vatory in the United States is now
open at Palisades Amusement Park,
every clear night, when thousands of
students throng around the mammoth
telescopes, scanning the heavens I'M
der the tuition of Professor Milton
Schoenfeld, who has long been iden-
titled as one of the most noted astron-
omers in the country.
Through the enterprise of Schenck
Brothers, a complete observatory has
been erected on the brink of the lofty
Palisades. The plant now has three
telescopes, and within a week will
have twice the equipment, as the first
installation was not sufficient to sat
isfy the demand of patrons.
The observatory in under the per-
sonal supervision of Prof. Schoenfeld,
who gives comprehensive survey of
the heavens, showing representative
objects of all kinds, including, colored,
double, and multiple stars, star clus-
tiers, nebula, planets, and their sa-
tellites, the moon, and milky-way in
detail. He gives complete expla-
nations while showing objects with
CHc SdIlo dIIeIlClOIl anu UIlOFOuYnn6SS
as is distinctive of him when lectur-
ing before colleges and schools on
astronomical surveys.
In order to bring home to the minds
of the public, the wonderful power
possessed by the telescopes at the
Palisades Park Observatory, scenic
objects are shown every day. There
are many interesting sights along the
Hudson, which are brought out with
surprising results. People at a four
mile distance may be recognized as
they walk the streets of Manhattan
1t is the intention of Schenck
Brothers and Professor Schoenfeld to
develope the observatory until it will
be the largest institution of it's kind
in the United States. 1t will be re-
membered that the Lick Observatory
in California is open to the public
only one day a week, while the es-
tablishment atop the Palisades, is
in operation daily.

School Deposit Gets
Higher Interest Rate

An interesting development at last
Friday evenings, July 2, meeting of
Cliffside school board was the an
nouncement by member Timony that
he had succeeded in getting the con-
sent of the Northern New Jersey
Trust Company to give half per
cent higher interest on the board
$4,000 deposit in high school funds.
In other words the Trust Company,
which at the previous meeting had
made an offer of three and one-half
per cent, agreed to raise this to
four per cent, thus insuring to the
borough an increase of at least $500
in interest on it's deposit.
At the above meeting it was
planned that the question of teachers
would come up. Also the question of
rules and regulations for janitors.
