Passed Around On New Years.

''Ting-a-ling-ling, ling!" went a
Palisade New Years afternoon
'Hello?" came the answer.
rs this one nine one fiye?" asked a
ferple voice at the other end.
No, this is 101 Clifside.
isn't this one nine one fve?"
again came the query.
mo, this is not one nine one five
This is 101 Cliffside."
"Arc you sure this is not one nine
one five?' was again asked.
POSITIVELY not. You are on the
wrong wire Ring off, please"
Then the receiver was hung up. In
about one minute the phone rang
again. an bet it's the same party"
who was it?" asked his wife.
ooh, [ don't know 1t sounded like
some fool of a woman. All she
could say was, is this one nine one
fve,' and I hung up the receiver on
her."
Another long ring this time.
Hello! hello!' impatiently an
swered the party at 101. "Who is
this 2" he added
rs this one nine one five?" came
the same voice.
No! No! this is not one nine one
five. This is one three one. You
have the wrong number, l tell you,"
more impatiently than ever.
Isn't this one nine one five?" once
more said the voice at the other end.
Then the man at 131 end heard voices,
and enc of them near the telephone
was laughing to beat the band. And
several others there were laughing to
beat several other bands, and Just
about this time the man at 131 tum-
bled, and he, too, broke out in a
merry guffaw. The joker at the other
end was so persistent about getting
information about 1915 was Mrs
Darby, and the other jokers at her
elbow were the other Darbys, and the
joke was on 101 by large majority.
"a happy New Year" said the
lady.
Thank you, a happy New Year to
you. You put over good one that
time. 1t is my treat to soda water"
More large laughter.

REAL ESTATE NOTES

The George H. Limbach Realty
Company is predicting a year of
lively interest, prosperity and good
cheer for all the property owners in
our village on the hill top. A number
Of their satisfied customers who have
purchased lots from them during the
past year are now preparing their
plans to build homes in the early
spring. They have started off the
new year by selling two good houses
in GrantWood and also a good corner
plot on Hillside and Lafayette ave-
nues, where another good house will
soon be built. They tell US that
everybody here should feel happy, as
things will surely boom up in 1915.
Other reasons they give US, and
which should make everybody feel
good and give US right to expect big
Improvements here is that the building
of a Catholic church is assured, a
Masonic Temple, and also another
club house are soon to be built.
Looking forward to all these
things everybody should feel good,
and it is no question whatever but
what these things will help us a whole
lot to make our hill top village perfect
and fully equipped in every respect.

A TROOPERS LETTER.
PdIisddian Subscriber Sends in
teresting Correspondence
From Irish Soldier.

kinsale, County Cork, Nov. II, 1914
Dear Frank:
Just Selling the opportunity to drop
you note. It's very hard to get a
chance of writing here, as we're in a
horrible outpost covered with muck
and worked off our feet. We're out
post for the Queenstown defenses, and
at the same time have to do general
duty so that we're about filled up with
work. The training was very severe,
but now that I've got used to horses
and hard work it doesn't matter
much, and | am feeling very fit.
We were under orders a week ago
for the front, but we were cancelled
two days after, as the Dublin squad
ron had got all their equipment ready.
| suppose they're gone now, but we're
next on the list. We expect to get out
at the end of next month. If you are
writing home you needn't mention
about the front, as the mother is
under the idea that we're for home
service alone. One squadron will be
kept at home, but our squadron, &C.
was highly praised by the general
and chosen for the front instead of
3D." but our colonel had "D' equipped
especially, SO we got to wait. Our
job out there is dispatch orders, as
the roads are too bad for motor bikes.
From the yarns of the service squad
ron, it's very exciting, and one has a
better chance than in the trenches.
Paddy, as you know, is in the navy
and he is very lucky in that he ex-
poets to get couple of days leave at
Xmas. | may get a couple of days
after Xmas, and will be delighted
you may be sure to get back to civil
cation. We get very few glimpses of
it here. About five miles from the
nearest public house where we can't
even get drink, as soldiers are not
served within the bounds of the
Queenstown defenses.
It's such horrible place here and
we've got so much to do that we never
worry about the war, and the whole
troop want to go to France-could you
imagine it-for rest. Our side is
bound to win hands down, but it may
take nine months or so before Billy
is sick of it. | would like to get a
sample of one of your Pro-German
papers and some of the more moderate
ones.
l hope our family doesn't get
showed under in this trouble, but I'm
sure we feel pretty cheerful. l don't
know whether you know that another
brother (BilD, who was bit wild, is
in the Irish Guards under Waverly,
so that | think our little family party
may be able to put spike in Kaiser
Bills chariot.
Drop me a note as soon as you
like. Give my love and Xmas greet
ings to my cousins and aunt and keep
some of them for yourself.
Yours,
(Trooper) M T. M

CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH

The daily evening meetings at the
Grantwood Congregational Church
are being continued. On Wednesday
night Dr.. Carroll spoke very beauti-
fully on the "Glories Of Youth" He
advised the young people to think
correctly and read the best authors.
He emphasized strength as a charac-
ter builder, and spoke of moral cour-
age and self control as among the
glorios Of youth.
Sunday evening the Brotherhood Of
the Congregational church were given
an address by Albert Lincoln Wyman,
of Ridgcfield Park, on Regeneration"
Mr.. Wyman's Interpretation of the
subject made it fit present day thought
and needs quite as we'll as the past.
In this day of warfare against medi-
eval slavery to brute force, now going
on in the old world, to alcohol and
other drugs, now waging in both old
and new world, and to old hardened
creeds, in religion, politics and indus
tries, this careful and scholarly adj
dress of Mr.. Wyman's is particularly
helpful. He gives you setting in
the past, present and future, and you
find yourself saying: "These things
must first come to pass" and feeling
that you have a part in bringing them
to pass or in hindering their realiza-
ton. May Mr.. Wyman's message
reach many people.

Ridgewood, prize city of northwest
Bergen, has, according to Mr.. George
Corsa, of the Corsa Real Estate and
Construction Company Of that place,
practically completed arrangements
for great railroad station improve
ment costing about quarter of a
million dollars. The existing station
(Erie) and approaches have long been
inadequate and inferior to the rapidly
increasing beauty Of the city, and the
improvements contemplated will more
than repay their promoters. Mr.
Corsa gives credit to Ridgewood's

YORK STATE
MUSIC TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION
CONVENTION

There are so many music clubs and
Womens clubs with musical members
in New York and the nearby States
that the following matter will prob
ably interest many:
The coming convention of the New
York State Music Teachers Associa-
ton will be held in the hotel Nc
Alpin, Broadway and Thirty-fourth
street, New York City, June 8, 9 and
10, and promises to be not only of
interest to music teachers, but to all
musicians and music lovers.
The convention is being held at the
hotel McAlpin because it is central,
also because it offers such conven-
fences to women. 1t is the only hotel
in the world with an entire floor re-
served exclusively for women. The
chaperon and hostess in charge is a
club woman from Indianapolis, Ind.
A we'll stocked library and reading
room are at the disposal of guests.
The rates per day will be very much
lower to those in attendance upon this
convention. Since all the affairs from
the splendid reception and banquet on
| the first evening to the round tables,
lectures, recitals, concerts, ETC., will
be under this one roof the arrange
ments will prove admirable for the
many women up state" and else
where who do not enjoy going about
New York alone. The time and nerve
force, to say nothing of car fare that
will be reserved for better purposes
will make of this convention a verita-
BILE heaven in comparison with those
held in groups of buildings more or
less scattered. Luncheon each day
will be served at a moderate figure
specially for convention guests, after
which will be time for the short siesta
so highly priced and so dearly bought
where time is taken up in much going
back and forth. The organ recitals
will of necessity be held in nearby
churches.
Recent conventions have given US
convincing proof of the increasing in
terest in musical affairs Teachers
are becoming more alive to the neces-
sity for a sounder, sturdier growth in
musicianship. Fraternalism is bring
ing to unit the energies of able men
and women. A spirit of confidence in
the American teacher prevails, and
notably, the appreciation of the work
of the American composer is seeking
through US means whereby the musi-
cal efforts of our native composers
may be brought to the musicians and
music lovers of the State for a bet
ter and more intimate acquaintance
ship.
We are glad to announce that the
twenty-seventh annual convention will
be devoted to American music, to
subjects of import to the American
teacher and to such subjects as are
calculated to still further the knowl-
edge and appreciation of the best
work of our music teachers, our ar
fists and composer.
1t is our object to lead in a nation
wide desire to excel in all branches of
musical art.
During this month there will be a
Get together" meeting in New York
City, and those desiring membership
blanks, propaganda, etc, can receive
such by addressing the inquiry accom-
panied by a stamped and self-ad
dressed envelope to one of our promi-
nent New Jersey women who is secre-
tary-treasurer of the N. Y. S. M. T. A.,

and Knox avenues, Grantwood-on-

1t was seventeen days before we
reached Guadalajara, owing to all
sorts of inconvenience in way of
travel, and poor tired party we
were when the train drew in at the
station and we saw Stuart looking
for US. He had been every day for
four days looking for US, but we had
to stay in Mexico City because all
the railroads were used for the SOL
diers. And when passenger train
did 90 it was awfully crowded
Scores of people had to stand all the
way. We went an hour before start
ing time, and then only got the very
last seats in the last car. We should
have had to wait over still longer if
we hadn't got seats. Now again we
are at home, and it is certainly good
to be at rest.
We were quite fortunate to find so
or stolen. The Indian who had the
care of the garden and house kept the
garden in good condition and the
house fairly well.
All things here are at a standstill,
though we hope each day that some
good word will come from the con-
vention at Aguascalientes. We can
not even guess what is going on,
for the news is not allowed to be
printed.
Now you must write to me soon. |
want to tell you lots more, but cannot
this time
Remember me kindly to all the
ladies of the mission and tell me how
you are getting on. All of you, your
sister Emily and Morris.
Yours very sincerely,

LETTER FROM
MISS BURDETTE
Apartado 1854, Nov. 10, 1914.


My Dear Mrs. Stewart:
You must not think | have forgot
ten you, because l have not written
sooner. l have thought about you
many times. During my stay in the
north this time | planned to go to
Grace Mission one Sunday afternoon
to see you all When Mrs. Alderman
told me there were no afternoon ser
vices, so | missed seeing all of that
mission that | often think about. |
believe you will be interested to know
about our unusual trip as refugees.
Well we (all Americans) were or
dered out of Mexico, so three hundred
of US left Guadalajara, after only a
few hours notice.
Surprising an American transport
was awaiting US on the Pacific coast.
Well, there was no provision for us
there, and we were glad to take a
German tramp steamer, with four
hundred Cinnamon on board.
We were six days going to San
Diego. We, q good many of us, slept
on the deck with nothing between us
and the heavens. Fortunately, the
weather was perfect. We were we'll
and hungry enough to enjoy the very
plain food brought US. We had ten
days of comfort in San Diego; then
the trip by cars across the continent
This was comfortable, but a little
tiresome after the other journeyings
few of our belongings had been lost
For two months we kept house il
Hackensack. The rest of the time
from September 10th to oath, we
were with Charlotte. Stuart went
back to Mexico September 10th. Sep
TENDER 24th Stuart's wife, baby anC

Aviators' Safety Paraehutes.

The energies of practically all the
inventors Of parachutes for airmen
have been directed towards the devel-
opment Of a device for the airman
alone. the aeroplane itself being al
lowed to drop to earth unhindered.
Parachutes for the whole aeroplane
have just been designed by French
inventor. Two folded parachutes. con-
tained in cone-shaped receptacles, are
attached to the wings as near the ends
as possible. BY means Of a simple
mechanism. operated by the movement
of small hand lever, these para
chutes are pushed out Of the contain
ers, after which they are claimed to
open freely. no matter in what man.
ner the aeroplane may be falling. All
the airman has to do is to hang on to
the aeroplane.
