the BeeCh-Nut lie
EVERYBODY in Harrisburg has heard
of the Beech-Nut Delicacies. So have
the people of the whole state of Penn
sylvania and Of every other state in the
Union. sNa.
Wherever you go nowadays-in the big
cities, IN the small towns or IN obscure vii
lagos, you find people familiar with the Beech
Nut reputation and Beech-Nut methods.
You will not find body of men any,
where who are more deeply convinced than
the grocers Of America that Beech-Nut Deli
cacies are as fine as human skill can make
them.
The Public Appreciation of Beech-Nut
DeEcacy and Flavor
1t is agreed by grocers and housekeepers
alike, and conceded by everybody, that for
purity, for delicacy and flavor, the products
of the Beech-Nut Company stand alone.
Whose fault is it then If there are some
people IN this city who have been deprived
of chance to taste the Beech-Nut Delicacies
to critically examine and compare them
with the ordinary products Of commerce?
For there are many Beech-Nut Delicacies
besides Beech-Nut Bacon that you would like
to know about and be glad to try.
You will be surprised to know that cer-
tain class of grocer IS to blame. And the
peculiar reason he gives for his pathetic and
impractical mistake is, that Beech-Nut Deli
cacies are too good for his trade Taking it
for granted that their quality standards are
fixed on inferior goods, and that It IS no use
to offer them Beech-Nut.
This, mind you, when we are living in an
age Of advancement. When the tendency
everywhere is rapidly and strongly towards
higher standard of quality, especially in
those things which contribute to the comforts
and pleasures of life.
The Grotving Store Should Progress
IDith the Advanced Standards
of Public Taste
And where is there another nation in
which there IS stronger desire among the
people for good food than here in the United
States?
You never hear an American housewife
accused of stinting her husband and children
In their meals. She is regarded everywhere
as an ideal provider. She is SO discriminating,
SO lavish IN her expenditures for the things
she places upon her table, that strangers who
have observed her generosity criticise her for
spelling her family.
But the women of this country have been
trained from infancy to appreciate the good
things of life. They are noted for the nicely
and superiority of their taste. They have

Concerning Your Grocer and
the Beech-Nut Delicacies

acies
always been animated with a deep-rooted
desire for the best of everything.
1t Is Un-American for Any Man to
Set Limits on the Aspirations
of the American People
TotUard Better Living
Even the workingmen Of our land de-
mand better food and greater variety of it
than many of the titled aristocracy of
Europe.
For the Wage earners of America are
leading the World in the amount of cash TO
their credit.
They have loaned the savings banks
of national banks, trust companies and other
banks, over $2,OOO,OOO,OOO more-a total
of Seven Billion Dollars.
This represents cash savings alone. It
is the greatest accumulation OF savings
ever put together by nation of wage
earners 5 and goes far to show why the
American people are the most discriminating
in the world. They can tOeN afford to be.
Go to a Good Crocer-a Grocer Who
Encourages His Customers in
Their Desire for the Best
The trouble with the Indifferent type of
grocer is that he allows his ideas of his GUS
toners to be bred In an atmosphere Of dis
trust and fostered by small coterie not at
all representative of the community.
You will find it quite otherwise with the
Beech-Nut Grocer. IN al the good grocery
stores OF this city you will find Beech-Nut
Delicacies displayed on counters, in show
windows-out LDhere everybody can see and
examine them, and not held in reserUe for a
fe1U faUorite customers.
When a woman shows interest In Beech
Nut Delicacies the grocer does not say to her
that she is prompted by too ambitious mo-
tive and should cast it aside and be satisfied
with something inferior.
It is Of no consequence to the Beech-Nut
Grocer whether the customer be learned
or an unlearned woman. He knows no dis
tinction. He finds it polite as well as polite
to respect the judgment of everyone who
comes into the store. He provides his GUS
toners with the finest he can get. He never
thinks the best is too good for them.
That IS why Beech-Nut Grocers have the
full confidence Of their customers and they
have his.
And that IS why we are determined never
to offer for sale any article under the Beech
Nut label until we are satisfied that It IS
better than any similar article made.

BY MEMS CT UB

There will be a debate before the
Mems Club of the Congregational
Church, Grantwood, next Thursday
night on the subject: "Resolved, that
women shall have suffrage in New
jersey" All are invited.
Many have expressed a desire to
attend and every one ought to be in
terested, as this is a matter of i'm
mediate Importance affecting US all
Many of the most active and pub
lie spirited women of the community
are anti-suffragists; others are ION
the fence; but hitherto only the suf-
fragists have had meetings and speak
ers, and now, for the first time the
subject will be presented from both
sides.
1t is hoped that at little later
date trained speakers from town will
present the matter from both view
points, but this debate of the eigh-
teenth will be confined to local women
who are all good friends and will so
remain although opponents for that
evening.
Equal Rights" will prevail, and
anyone can ask questions or take part
in the discussion. The debate will be
limited to one hour, in order to allow
time for discussion and early adjourn
ment.

IMPORTANT ASSOCIATED
CHARITIES MEETING
Rummage Sale Planned-New

Sweet charity drew together many
members of the Sewing Committee
of the Associated Charities on Mon
day afternoon last. Fair hands
labored with needle and thread to pre-
pare charity garments for the Dor.
ough's needy. Many articles OF
clothing, too, were distributed to APP
plicants for aid. Shoes and food,
too, were purchased.
A decision was reached to dispose
of the large accumulation of clothing
by holding a rummage sale on the
following Thursday and Friday after
moons. It was decided also to secure
other less expensive quarters, a COM
mittee being appointed for the pur-
pose.

WomQn's Club
Gives Fine Lecture
At Palisade School.
Remarkable Presentation
Of Thought On Higher
Citizenship By ReU,
N. F. Montgomery.

The Woman's Club, of Palisade, had
as it's guests Thursday night at the
Public Schol, Rev. Marshall Mont
gomery, rector of Trinity Episcopal
Church, Grantwood, and Miss Donna
Mclean, pianist, and Charles T.
Logan, jr., bass soloist.
Mr.. Montgomery was supposed to
have treated the subject in the broad
er sense and gave one OF the most
graphic and eloquent pictures of the
meaning of the higher citizenship
ever heard anywhere. No mere syn
opsis of his talk would be adequate
to give an idea of it's power. He
is a rapid-fire speaker, and on this
occasion held his audience completely
spellbound for forty-five minutes, and
there was not dull instant in it all.
1t did not seem that he had been
speaking fifteen minutes when he
wound up with his beautiful perora-
ton on the hope of the future of the
nation resting in the more godly
man. The encominums OF praise
given the lecture were heard on all
sides, and the speaker had to hold
an impromptu reception after the pro-
gram was finished. He should have
had a packed house, for there are few
men of his type of orators to be
found. He is rich in his elocution,
profound in thought, wonderfully
original, and earnest to the last de-
gree. His delivery is so impressive
that one fairly hangs on to his SEN
fences which seem to flow almost
farther than he can give them ut
terance.
Miss Donna Mclean gave a
piano solo, "The Dance of the
Witches" Macdowell, rendered with
marvellous expression and feeling.
She seems to be at her best in crelora-
tive selection such as this, requiring
all of her skill in phrasing and shad-
ing which can only be effectively pro
duced by the real artist. Miss Nc
Lean not only showed the power of
the playing, but developed tempera-
ment fully equal to all of the con-
ception of the composer. She had
feeling, technique, soul, and the au-
dience showed its very great pleasure
by giving her very enthusiastic en-
core.
Mr.. Logan's solo, "a Song of Steel
was an agreeable surprise, for no one
in Palisade has heard him since he
placed himself under the training of
George Sweet, one of the greatest of
American opponents of vocal art. Mr.
Sweet has done wonders for Mr.;
Logan in very short time, his tonal
quality is greatly improved, and he
sings with fine expression. He has
a base voice of remarkable fiexibility.
Should he continue his studies he no
doubt will develop into an exceptional
style. He was favored with an en-
core, and responded with "The Turn
keys Song" from "Rob Roy"

FARVIEW SCHOOL
BOARD ELECTION

Sixteen men from the four sections
OF FairView are up for election for
one of the four vacancies on the board
of education next Tuesday night.
Never before has there been such a
contest for election to the board.
On the independence Citizens Ticket
are George Ebel, jr., Joseph E. Adel-
berg, Charles Gerlach, and John M,
Brinkerhoff. Another ticket contains
the names of Messrs. Bolz, Charles
Gerlach, Cavanagh and Muller. Still
another ticket shows Messrs. George
Todd, James Lyons, Mike Mann, and
VIM. Steinbach as its list of candi-
dates. On the ballot for Tuesday
night $4,000 appropriation will be
asked for.
In a speech before the Grand View
Lincoln Club last Saturday night,
Joseph Adelberg in making a plea for
the support of his ticket, said that
they were making their campaign on
non-partisan and non-sectarian lines.
Three of their members were tax
payers, and all were actuated by the
desire to serve the best interests of
the borough as represented by its
public schools. An $4,000 school
had just been added to the borough,
and $4,000 was asked for the next
years expenses.

''Peck Us. Peek Makes
Pronounced Success

"Peck VS. Peck" was presented in
the Congregational Church last night
by the Ladies Aid Society. A large
audience was present.
The play was a most entertaining
farce given by women, representing
the conditions of society under the
reign of woman, when women shall
be in control of the courts.
A jury of women in the various
garbs of extreme fashions chewed
gum and gossiped gossip to their
hearts content, while a distinguished
woman judge presides, suppressed
woman man bows her neck for the
expected verdict, and women advo-
Gates exhort the jury, and bring forth
feminine weeps and hysterical laughs
from the the impressionable twelve.
Among those taking leading parts,
Mrs. George B. Donaldson gave much
distinction to the role of Judge; Mr..
Green, the Ridgefield coach, rendered
effectively the part of counsel for the
defence. The defendant, being sued
for divorce, was played in realistic
manner by Mrs. Seymour N. Sears;
Mrs. J. R. Fridlington as counsel for
the plaintiff, and asking $1,000
alimony from the jury, did her part
very creditably. Mrs. Berls played
the part of wife suing for divorce.
Other principal parts were taken by
Mrs. Ansell, Mrs. VIM. Moody, Mrs.
Wallace Mcdonald, and Arthur
Bennett.

Governor Fielder's Reply
To Bergen Protective Association.
Says He Cannot Force Board OF Freehoiders To GiUe
Up County Records But Suggests That Prosecutor
And Grand Jury Might Help Matters Along.

George White, of Englewood, has
organized the Bergen County Pro-
tective League, a name which smacks
SO much of old times in Palisade that
it looks as though it might have
gotten it's touch-off from a recollec-
ton of bygone days in these parts.
Be that as it may, Mr.. White has his
hands full. He has gone out after
the Board of Freeholders the first
crack out of the box. He had made
ords of the board, had been refused
and the other day appealed to Cover
nor Fielder. The governor sent on
word, promptly admitting he "did
dent" have the power to compel the
clerk to tamely submit to an examina
ton of the archives. He however,
suggested a remedy, process, way,
means or suthin-or-other, by which
the board might be pried open. He
actually made the Grand Jury as a
can opener! OF course, Mr.. White
replied that he had already tried to
pry the lid off through the Prosecu-
tor and Grand Jury, but what he
wanted was the governors further
support, whether this meant calling
out the militia or not was not stated
But anyhow, Governor Fielder's aid
is wanted and wanted badly-very
badly.
Among the folks Mr.. White tried to
get to act on the finance committee
of the new league was Mayor S.
Wood, McClave, of Cliffside. The
mayor at first thought well of the
scheme, but he is not much in favor
of the old regime of Bergen county
politicians, it is alleged, and agreed
to cooperate by lining" the league.
Then he got to thinking it over and
said he would resign, because it
looked to be a partisan affair, etc.
Now Mr.. White comes back in a
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1915-03-13

in honor of her eighteenth birthday
A delightful evening was spent by
the guests who were entertained to a
well rendered program of vocal and
instrumental music followed by
games and DIVERSIONS of many varie-
ties. Dancing was popular pastime
and many new and intricate steps
were exhibited by the different guests.
An elaborate banquet was served late
in the evening at which toasts were
made to the health and happiness of
the hostess. Dancing was resumed
after the feasting and continued until
late. The guests were the Misses

letter on last Monday to the Record
at Hackensack and insists that his
league is non-partisan. His letter
follows:
Editor Evening "Record."
Sir: If Major McClave really wants
better county management and a
complete investigation of Freebooter
transactions and methods, let him do
something to show it. If Republicans
like the gentleman from Cliffside are
not sure that the Bergen County Pro
tectlve League is non-partisan, and il
they are as little anxious as the Major
appears to be to find out what the
fact is, let them organize their own
association.
The people of Bergen county, as
a mass, want investigation-su
mary and complete. They may be
more likely to get it with Republi-
can help than without it. Let the
Republicans help in some way that
to them seems entirely safe.
To form hasty opinions and pub
lish absurd conclusions about the
movement started by the League gets
us nowhere. 1t tends to hinder and
not to help progress.
Who is the stalwart Republican
that is ready to investigate and pub
lsh the facts? Where can he be
found p? | am willing to work with
him. Between US we ought to be
able to accomplish something worth
while.

March 8, 1915.
Mr.. Whites letter looks like he is
suspiciously in earnest and means to
go ahead. If he gets anywhere he
will be lucky. The Freeholders are
not in business for their health
Whatever they do is their own per
sonal business. They are there to
serve the county.

Ger scheer took note of the mob. See
Ing a man in the center with a rope
about him, he came to the rescue and
liberated the victim.
About Is minutes later, however.
the mob again made a captive of the
man and hurried him into a waiting
auto on Webb street. Followed by a
couple of hundred on foot. the auto
chugged its way to Roundup Park.
The swimming pool was empty but
the concrete basin which receives the
water as it pours into the park was
full to overflowing. Taking off the
mans garments, the leaders of the
mob cast him into the waters where
he stood in a September morn pose
shiYering in the cool July night. Soap
was passed to him and he was told
TO rub and scrub. Relieved that he
was not TO be lynched, the man fell
to his task with a will and his body
received thorough scrubbing before
his supervisors gave the word for
him to emerge.
The mob declares that this incident
should be taken as warning by all
persons in the city.

With a mob of several hundred
men crowding down Main street with
slouching figure in the center. a
rope around his body, strangers and
many townspeople came to the excus-
able conclusion last evening that there
was to be a lynching bee. Quite
number followed the mob as 1t made
its way to Roundup Park. but, in
stead of seeing the victim strung up
to a tree or telephone pole, they saw
him undressed, cast into pool of wa
ter, given bar Of soap and made to
bathe,
The victim is a well known charac-
ter about town, noted for his dirty
appearance. His uncleanliness be-
came so obnoxious to a number oil

maneuvering for about an hour before
the quarry could be landed He re-
malned inside of an eating house for

he came out. The crowd hustled him
down Main to Court and was start
