PaIisade Junior CiUics
Rehearsing For Minstrels


The members of the JUNIOR Civic
League, which is composed of the
younger set of Palisade boys, are
holding rehearsals for the minstrel
show which they are planning to give
some time in the month of May. They
are making wonderful progress, and
as they are being coached by Edgar
Darby, a great treat is in store for
the Palisadians.
The Civic Committee of the Wo-
mans Club of Palisade is actively en-
gagged in arranging for the "Clean-
Up" campaign which is to take place
about the 18th or 18th of May. The
members of the committee ask the
hearty cooperation of all the resi-
dents in it's undertaking.

Eastern Bergen
Improvement
Association
Important Meeting To Be
Held At Ridgef1eld Park
Next Thursday Night

The next meeting of the Eastern
Bergen County Improvement Asso-
citation will be held in the Municipal
Building at Ridgefeld Park on the
evening of April Is, Thursday of next
week. The aims of the association
at the time will be to inaugurate the
new movement it has recently had in
mind, that of making a cleaner Ber-
gen, and one less frequented by
thieves. There will be a real war
waged against dirt, and people every
where will be asked to clean up back
and front yards, and also to apply
the broom and rake to vacant lots
Mayor E. w. Webbon, Ridgefield
Parks commission government head,
is arranging to have big time at
this coming meeting, and in addition
to having some fine men speakers,
will present several women who will
address the company. AS the clean
ing process is one of woman's strong
points in life, they are especially in
terested at this time, owing to the
close approach of spring when the
habit of all should be to clean things
everywhere.
Letters to the organization show d
spreading in the entire program laid
out this spring for Bergen county by
the association. There were forty
communities represented at the meet
ing called by Sheriff Heath March "a,
and the Ridgefield Park meeting of
the association is expected to have
even a greater number than this.
The new interlocking police system
that has been looked into by the as
ISOLATION and the mayors, together
with Sheriff Heath is expected to
come to head soon and be put into
working order. The expense is the
main thing to stand in the way, yet
as most of the communities in Bergen
have their own paid police, the feel
ing is strong that the mere matter of
money should not stand in the way of
carrying out an enterprise that
promises so much for all home own
ers all over the county.
Mayor Huyler, of Tenafy, the presi-
dent of the association, is fast get
ting his plans of attack on the days
set for cleaning up, May IA and IS,
Friday and Saturday. This work is
especially pleasing to him. He is try
ing to have all of the local organiza-
tions all over take hand in the work,
and to this end has invited women's
clubs, borough clubs, Boy Scouts, and
civic organizations to come out and
lend a helping hand. A systematic
campaign will be arranged, so that
every organization will be given a
certain territory as a task and will
be charged with making it clean. In
this way, by thoroughly systematis-
ing the entire work, it will be a
pronounced success and not a half
handed affair.
The Eastern Bergen County I'm
provement Association has made al
ready such success that already ex-
pressions are being heard about bring
ing about an organization that will
take in all of the municipalities of
Bergen. 1t is the spirit of cooperation
that has dominated the parent organ
ization that it's influence is being felt
in sections that heretofore were
either Indifferent or else had not
known of the real Importance of work
that can be done under the plan
adopted already.

of the envelope reached her the other

plains itself:

land wool shawl, either white
or gray. there is now a charm
ing use to put II TO, for they
are being draped over soft silk
jackets in delicate colors to make
summer negligee jackets. There is
an art in the draping that makes the
shawl cover the sleeves and all. and
they are delightfully."- soft and nlmy
looking. The gray goes well over
corn color. lavender and pink ana the
white over blue, flame, purple and
nile green. The shawls may he pur-
chased new of curse, and some have
had them dyed in shades other than
the gray and white and they are very
effective.
A very serviceab,e negligee Jacket
is made Of the finest white crash
towelling. IL Is cut in scallops all
around the Jacket and they are bound
with white satin: around the waist
line there are wide huttonholes
through which a soft satin tie is run.
n the sleeves are finished in the
same way.
Rather new are the Jackets that slip
on over the head and button on each
shoulder. These are cut square neck
and nave elbow sleeves, the entire
Jacket is Cut around the bottom. and
at the edge OF sleeves and neck

 Most people eat altogether too much" says Miss Peck in letter to $. W. Straus, president of the Amer ican Society of Thrift, And they eat the wrong kind of food and alto gether too much meat. Very few peo- pie, except /setarians and those nuts and vegetables. l consider neat necessary, put not g great deal Of it.
 The daily menu should be s,lnp,e and yet contain nutritious foods and those having the clements necessary to maintain perfect health.
 Miss Peck buys her staple grocer ias ill fairly l~rge quaatities. 2Ae also cooks enough Of vegetables CT meat at one tirae to do for seyers. meals by heating them. She uses a dish electric stove, in which she can broil or fry or have creamcd dishes prepared. Here is a sample menu for weeks dinner:
 Sunday-Small steak and mashed potatoes at restaurant where bread and butter ana scoffee or tea are in- cluded for 20 cents.
 Monday and Tuesday-Roast pork and potato salad bought at delicates- sen shop; pork 10 cents, one-half pound salad cents-e3ough for two days.
 Wednesday-I~ haps codfish balls costing cents for two, with bread and peanut butter, tea or coffee.
 Thursday-As a special treat, ( course dinner at 2 restaurant for 20 cents.
 Friday-Oysters at 10 cents, crackers for less than 1 cent.
 Saturday-Os:meal with raisina and chocolate as a beverage or two eggs scrambled instead Of the oat- meal

New York Cotton.

New york, March 25.-Cotton showed continued strength today, opening at an advance Of zoe points and selling about 14@17 points net higher during early trading. This ad- vance established new high records for the season and reflected n- uewal of recent buying movement which is attributed to increasing esti- mates of consumption under war conditions and a bullish view of the crop outlook, particularly as weather conditions in the South are consider ed unfavorable for early planting. Large trade interests are credited with being very heavy buyers of July and October during the past few days.
 Offerings were very readily ab- sorbed at comparatively moderate re- sessions around midday and the market later showed renewed strength on a continued demand from Wall street, New Orleans, prominent spot firms and Western sources, with active months selling 21@25 points net higher.
