In commenting upon the selection
of a fullback it says:
Among the fullbacks Homer Hazel,
the dreadnought of the Montclair
Academy eleven, stands out supreme.
Tipping the scales within a pound of
the double century mark, the Mont
clair captain is the most powerful
charging fullback developed in the
North Jersey ranks since the days
of Waldemar Deetjen, another Mont
clair product, who only last week
was chosen captain of the Wesleyan
eleven. If Mr.. Hazel requires any
further recommendation, be it known
that he is the best punter of all the
prep schools in the state, which,

Republicans Sore
Over Old Turnpike
Act Of Freeholders

The action of Freebooter Harrop
of Garfield and six of his associates
in the old Board of 80 members fight
ing the proposition to turn over to
the county the Bergen Turnpike has
resulted in Harrop and his colleag-
ues Hecker, Hutton Linderman, Van
Buskirk, Glover, and GRAIN being
praised by many tax papers.
Assemblymen-elect Herbert M
Baily of Hackensack, in a letter to
Freebooter Harrop says:
81 have read with amazement and
indignation of the action of the Old
Board of Freeholders last week in
taking over the Bergen Turnpike
upon the terms exacted by the Public
Service cooperation.
81 wish to congratulate you and your
six colleagues upon the vigorous and
intelligent fight you made in the
Board against allowing the Public
Service to foist upon the people of
Bergen County this road upon terms
so disadvantageous to the public.
GIN the first place the old Board of
Freeholders is so completely discred-
tied by the action of the people Of
the county at the. recent election, tina
it ought to have allowed the new
Board which represents the public
to handle this most important mat
ter, The fact the old Board in the
closing weeks of its official existence
insisted on concentrating this i'm
awaken the apprehension of the pub
lie as to the terms of the deed.
'The whole procedure is good ill
ustration of the private ownership
of a public utility. The Public Ser
vice Corporation has for years ex-
acted tolls for the use of this road
which has been nearly all the time in
a state of wretched repair. Now
that the company finds that it is not
going to pay, it turns he road over to
the public after reserving for it's own
use perpetual rights and easements
for which the company ought to be
compelled to pay large sum annll-
ally. The new Board of Freeholders
coming fresh from the pople and free
from the influences which have dom
mated the old Board would surely
have obtained from the Public Ser
vice much better terms before as
Stunning the burden of maintaining
the road. Not only has the company
allowed the road to remain in a state
of bad repair but | am informed that
the two bridges on the turnpike will
have to be reconstructed before long.
This means that the public will have
to pay for the neglect of this road
and will receive no adequate return
from the valuable easements which
the company has reserved"

Ray Dwiggins, U. S. N.
Drifts In On His
Palisade Friends

Raymond Dwiggins, who enlisted
in the United States navy last July,
drifted in on his Palisade friends
Friday, of last week. Ray is station
ed at the Newport Training Yard,
but not yet attached to any ship in
service. He wore his regulation sea-
mans uniform and looked hearty
and well. He has been so far~en-
gagged in clerical work, but has his
eye set on radio service post aboard
some big war ship, for which he is
studying.
With all of Rays family scattered
and moved away from Palisade,
there was a touch of pathos to his
visit, though he gave no outward
signs of any depression. The brave
lad will find warm welcome always
in Palisade.

Elocutionist Again

The Mems Club of the Congrega-
tional Church meet last week and
agreed to invite Robin-Elfs Clend-
enning to appear before the club a.
gain and to deliver Dickens Christ
mas Carol. Mr.. Clendenning was in
Grantwood a few months ago and
delighted a large audience with his
representations of famous characters
in poetry and prose.
His selection for the entertain
ment on Thursday evening December
16 is not only favorite with the
lovers of Dickens works but is very
appropriate to the Yule tide season.

Maiden Fair

l know a working maiden, altho she's somewhat old, who proves to her employer she's worth her weight in gold. She works both late and early; to please she always tries. The name of this fair maiden is Helen Advertise. She works to lay up fortunes. she works to lay up fame; altho her name is Advertise. she gets there just the same. So if success you're seeking just show that you are wise lay off your coat and go to work like Helen Advertise.

Obituary

Bessie Williams was born Feb. 8, 1908 and died June 5, 1915. She was seven years, three months and seven days old. God saw fit to call her home, He wanted her just as she was. She had filled her mission on earth, and why Bessie should not stay any longer we do not know. We hate to be separated from her, we feel lonesome without her little form playing m our midst. She was cheerful and seemed to enjoy life as well as any child could. Bessie will be missed by father, mother, brothers and sisters. At home her place is vacant. At school. Sunday School and church her place will be vacant; but she has won home where her place will never be vacated again. The family, when they gather together won't wait for the pat tering of Bessie's little feet con- ing to fill her place, nor will they hear her sweet little voice saying, Wait, l am coming" or singing the songs that they love to hear so we'll But she will sing sweeter songs in Heaven and not be interrupted by sor- row. grief, aches and pains; hut everlasting joy will be hers for ever to come. The disciples asked. Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, set him in the midst of them and said. verify l say unto you, Except le be converted and become as lit Q children ye shall not enter into the kingd.m of Heaven. Whosoever there fore shall humbleth himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of Heav- en. We cali imagine in our minds that We can see Jesus stopping down and picking up that little child, holding it up and blessing it and talking to his disciples. so we can imagine that we see Bessie up in her Sagiour's bosom, and if it was possible, beckoning to her father mother, brothers, and sisters to come to her, that she has found such a good place to rest and be happy all the time. She can not come to us, but we can go to her.
 Bessie will not be forgotten. She makes one more guide post for us that we may not miss the straight and narrow road that leads to Heaven. We should feel proud of the truth to know that she has gained Heaven by our loss of her.
 Another little lamb has gone
 To dwell with him who gave. Another little darling girl
 Is sheltered in the grave. God need one more angel child
 Amidst his shining band And so he bent with loving smile.
 And clasped little Bessie's hand.
