Heard Pacific Roar
Over The Telephone
5000 Miles Awa]

Mr.. John Davidson, of New Or
leans, who visited his sister, Mrs
Charles T. Logan, of Palisade, last
week, tells of unique experience he
had in New York few days ago
Through the courtesy OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company he was allowed to talk
with the San Francisco manager a
distance Of over 5000 miles.
"Yes," said Mr.. Davidson, 81 heard
the managers voice as distinctly as
we hear our city or suburban calls.
1t was remarkable. They do not say
'Hello!' over such a long wire, but
substitute the word 'Ahoy!' the
nautical term in hailing vessel. 1t
sounded odd, but when it was ex-
planned, l understood the carrying
qualities of the word are better The
manager asked me where l was from
and when | told him New Orleans,
he answered back, Yes, I've been
there. Nose beautiful American
city, l thanked him, of course, and
then he asked me to wait a moment.
"'Now listen,' said he, and you
will hear something roar
"' That is the Pacific Ocean you
hear. The sound of the waves on the
beach,
"This experience" continued Mr..
Davidson, was certainly unique and
very interesting"

September Wedding
At Trinity Church

when Miss Hilda H. Wagner, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Wagner,
of Washington avenue, became the

ushers were Lemar Vieau and Harry
Lane.
The bride wore a handsome gown
carried a large boquet of lilies of
the valley. The brides maid carried
a bouquet of tea roses.
The Lohengrin wedding march
sounded at eight twenty -tive, the
bride coming in on the arm of her
father. The ceremony was simple
but beautiful one. Rev. Marshall
F. Montgomery officiated. Mr.. Dana
was at the organ. A large number
of guests were present.
The bridal couple left after the
wedding for Asbury Park, where
they will spend their honeymoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane will be at home
at 316 Fifth street, Union Hill, on
and after September Is.

popular boy in Palisade, quiet, I'M
assuming and admirable. He is sue
cessful and loyal to his business. His
bride is also highly esteemed in
| Grantwood for her many fine quail
| ties of head and heart.

Music Night At
Grace Mission

Members of Grace Mission Choir,
Grand View, entertained number of
their friends on the occasion of their
first music night on Friday evening
of last week.
A pleasing program was presented
by the young people assisted by some
of their talented elders. Little Alton
Meredith played a piano selection
entitled "Santa Claus This was
followed by recitations, "a Chain of
Flowers" by Anna Mobbs, Grace
Harder, Edna Woodcock, and Title
Meyer. Arthur Carson, of Palisade,
favored his many friends in the au-
dience by his inimitable reading Of
the "Pettison Twins" Mrs. c. W..
Fairweather, of Grantwood, played
most acceptably a Chaninade selec-
ton. Charles T. Logan, editor of
"The Palisadian," followed with a de-
lightful talk and original reading,
introducing for the first time to an
audience, his humorous creations,
"Mr. Billinger" and "Hans Lobert."
Mr.. Dana, organist, played the
always popular "Humoreske," of
Dvorak, on the violin, accompanied
by Mrs. Fairweather The program
was ended by the playing of Mendel-
ssohn's Consolation" very sweetly,
by Miss Tile Meyers.
After the program refreshments
were served followed by an hour of
dancing led charmingly by Mr.. and
Mrs. d. Arthur Carson. Spirited
music was furnished by "Rudie"
Freudeureit, the blind pianist.

A Motor Cyclist
CoMdes With Trolley
Crushes His Skull

On Labor Day about 1.30 o'clock,
while four motorcyclists were having
a gay time with themselves speeding
up and down Anderson avenue, Pail
SADIE, one of them got little too
gay with himself and as he approach
ed Columbia avenue, car was pass
ing and he ran head on into it. He
got a fractured skull and was carried
to the North Hudson Hospital, where
his condition was considered very
critical.
was considered very critical
1t seems that for some time previ-
Gus four autoists, two of them hav-
ing young women partners, had been
speeding up and down Anderson
avenue, having the time of their
lives. Finally, one of the Citizens
Committee seeing the frolic conclud-
ed to put stop to it and SO calling
in police aid soon had the party
coralled as they were all gathered at
the collision with the trolley car.
They were carried to Fort Lee and
fined $40. each. They each promised
to be good when visiting Palisade
again. One of the young women
tainted over the sight of the uncon-
scious motorcyclist. The Ackermans
kindly carried her in their home
where she was restored to conscious

Pioneer Resident
Gives Palisade
A Very Fine Boost

George Gippert was one of the
early settlers in Palisade, being a
stakeholder in the Palisade Supply
Company that built the large apart
ment building in which the Beck
MAINS now run their supply market.
He runs large market of his own
down in Hoboken where he has been
successful. In speaking of the
future of Palisade this week, he
said:
eff you happen to be around this
part of the country in about fifteen
years, you will see a marvellous
change. Palisade is growing very
fast at this time, and will take on a
growth before a great while that
will atonish those who have not been
watching things as closely as 1 have.
l am as sure that Palisade will
grow from now on as | am that
am here at this moment. You can
not match Palisade anywhere. Its
location is ideal, and all that any
one could desire in a place of resi-
dence. Why, just think what has
been done here in three years. 1t
is astonishing"

High School
Title Middle

At the meeting of the Cliffside
Park school board on Friday even
ing, September 8, report was re-
ceived from the North Jersey Title
Insurance Company as to the clear
ness of the title of the three and a
half acre plot condemned last spring
for the high school site.
1t will be recalled that some months
ago, the board received a report
on this same matter from the
boards attorney, Samuel Wright. Mr..
Wright was also the attorney
for the owners of the property the
Neumanns, ct al. Attorney Wright's
report showed no encumbrance to the
title. Friday nights report differed,
in that it showed that the property
had been sold for taxes; also that
there were mortgage claims of re-
cord. No survey accompanied the
title search, as had been called for.

monarch Of Serbia before the gfazet
| eyes Of the dying Sultan
For five centuries Serbia was undel
the heel of the Turk and for five cerf
| turtles she remained In a state of rebel
lion. giving the Sultan more trouble thar

family. He dismembered her and dis
persed her people, until at last none but

Every seventh year for generations h,

ents and carried them of into captivity
where he made them over into Moslems
and trained them to be his janizaries
that invincible infantry with which he
fought his Christian foes.
All the while a Serbian had only
to kneel to Mecca to become one, of the
conquerers rather than one of the con-
quered. Many Serbs in Bosnia. many
Christians in Bulgaria, Albania and
Macedonia turned Moslems and their de-
scendants today are among the most de-
vout followers of the Prophet. But
Serbia has the smallest Moslem popula-
ton of any Balkan country.
The Serbians. becoming clansmen again,
hid themselves with their crosses in the
mountain gorges. where they kept the
faith Of their fathers and whence they
spread terror and death among the apos-
tates. Their church was their one rally
ing point and perhaps to this day they
are less troubled by religious doubt than
any other people in Europe.
Every Serbian home became a little
kingdom and the family tie is strong
among the Serbians. There is no such
word as cousin In their language. all
cousins being called brothers or sisters,
among whom, of course. there can be no

usual test, IL any one cares to examine
it. of the effect on the race Of avoiding
marriages.
The Slav is a democrat by nature and
the Serbian ever has been most demo-
cratic. There is less looking up and
looking down there than in the United
States or IN almost any other country.
There are very few spots of earth that
never have been pressed by the foot of
a slave. and Serbia is one of them 1t is
the land or liberty equality and fra
ternity.

But when the Serbians locked up and
down the old road. they were always
fearful that they might see the outriders
of another conGueror coming to wrest
from them their gate and their inde-
pendence. Indeed. more perilous place
for a small nation could not be found
on the map than that which the ancient
Serbians accepted when they settled in
the valley of the Morava.
For in an age of force and Imperialism.
Serbia occupies a military and CONNER
cial vantage point which none but a
strong hand can hold Yet nigsard ma
ture has denied her the soil to nourish

To strengthen herself she entered the
Balkan wars, and her gains in Mace
donia almost doubled her territory and
population. But her conauests aroused

/ They set 1t to music, and, like the
| gleemen in Norman halls, chanted and

When all Europe was singing the Mar
| seillaise in the wars that followed the
French Revolution. Serbia Joined the
: chorus, being the first to lift the stand
ard of revolt in the Balkans. In 1904
she opened that struggle for the re-
covery of her long-lost independence
which has lasted more than a century.
and which never has been more desperate
than now. Although by 1880 she had won
the Sultans recognition of her as a
principally within the Turkish Empire.
she did not free herself entirely from
the Turk until as recently as 1878, when
the Congress of Berlin declared her to
be independent. Only in 1852, after half
thousand years. did she become once
more a fuil-fiedsed kingdom.
The Austro-S(rbian Feud.
But she was no sooner rid of her Turk
ish overlord than she found herself
For time Austria's diplomacy overcame
the Serbian crown itself and by secret
treaty she brought Serbia virtually into
the position of a dependency. Her king
actually was at the command of the
Austrian military attache at Belgrade
until the dynasty was eNtinguished, by
a bloody assassination in 1896. when the
present King Peter was called 10 the
throne. Since then there has been no
truce i'm the Austro-Serbian feud.
The Serbians are no less satisfied than
the Austrians with their boundaries. Be
fore the Balkan wars. the area of their
country was but 1900 square miles, and
perhaps only half Of that was I'm a state
of cultivation for the support of a !
population of 2.7oo.00o. Yet. however
poor they were. the people did not know
1t, for they had neither millionaires nor
paupers to remind them of their poverty. |
By the surest test of all. they were well |
of. for they had a smaller emigration |
than any OF their neighbors, and it might |
be said that they had none at all. They !
were also the most homogeneous country |
in the Balkans, virtually all of them
being Of one race and creed.

What Serbia wanted most of all was

10000 Inhabitants Of Dalmatia and sla-

All those peoples are of the Southern

difference between them. They are

Men may take their speech from their

from the rivers by which they chance

Of history. The waters of Serbia and of
the Serbian counties in Hungary by the
Danube flow eastward. and. therefore,
most Of the people are of the Eastern
Church. On the other hand. the cur

run toward Rome. Wherefore the DWELL

Roman Catholics.

Latin churches do not mix. The chasm

sisting in the work of organizing the
Lakeland Chamber of Commerce,
presented the Telegram with a neat
ly arranged scrapbook containing a
sample of every piece of printed
matter, circular letter and newspa-

ing the campaign. 1t was difficult
to realize that so many columns had
6,en printed in the Telegram about
this work until we saw them ali
gotten together in this scrapbook.
Mr.. Farnsworth said that if charged
for at usual advertising rates the
publicity given this one undertake

we did no more for this work than
we are constantly without
money and without price-for all
movements that benefit our com
