Mrs. Harry Vanderbeck
Starts Suit For Diuorce
oherH Heath Returns Papers to Counsel, Being U1-
0ote 10 Locate Contractor Who EIoped With Wife
OF Cyrus j. Lozer, of Rdgefeld Park

The long expected divorce proceed
ings of Mrs. Hattie Mabel Wander
beck, of Ridgefeld Park, against her
husband, Harry L. Vanderbeck, a
former young contractor of that place
has been instituted and papers were
filed for service with the Sheriff
last Saturday.
The Sheriff has returned the papers
to A. H. G. Maidment, counsel for
Mrs. Vanderbeck, with a nonresident
affidavit, to the effect that Wander
beck cannot be found in this State
and that he resides in New York CITY,
Mrs. Vanderbeck alleges in her pc
tition her husband has had improper
relations with Mrs. Cyrus j. Lozier,
between the dates of May Is to
August 8, 1915, at which time they
were living together in an apartment
as man and wife at No. 919 East
Tenth street, Flatbush, Long Island.
1t is alleged they lived there under
the name of Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbeck.
The petitioner further says that at
the present time Vanderbeck is living
somewhere in the City of New York.
Mrs. Vanderbeck asks that the mar
riage be dissolved, that he furnish
her with support and that she be per-
mitted to resume her maiden name, of
Hattie Mabel Bedford.
The couple were married in Ridge
field Park, by the Rev. Albert l.. Will
son, formerly of the Congregational
church there, on October 4, 1904.
They have no children and the wife
claims she has no means of support
This action is the outcome of the
disappearance of Vanderbeck and
Mrs. Lozier on April II last, follow
ing which Mr.. Lozier entered suit
for divorce, naming Harry l. Wander
beck as correspondent.
The story is replete with startling
allegations, in which the family Of
Robert McCandless contracting
plumber of that place, is dragged into
the affair, he having started an aliena-
ton suit against Cyrus J. Lozier for
$4,000 and Mrs. McCandless suing
Lozier for $4,000 for an alleged as
sault in which Lozier is charged with
having struck her in a row over some
papers.
The three cornered scandal is of
absorbing interest and has disrupted
the social section of Ridgefeld Park.
All are we'll known there, Mr. Lozier
being a prominent banker and mer-
chant, while Mr.. Vanderbeck was a
contractor and builder and McCand-
less contracting plumber.

Every Dog Must Have His
Dav. So Rags Gets His

Yesterday Rags, Caffalls
dog met with one of the
bitterest disappointment
that can come into a dogs
life. His monday m e a |
had not arrived, for Beck
mann's delivery gon
failed to apper per
scheduled time. Poor Rags
could only lie patiently on
the back porch and await
his meal. Resigned to his
fate, he tried to sleep, but
hardly had he closed his
eyes when the jingling OF
bells accompanied by the
melodious in t o n a t i o n ,
OR R Ra g S ! Bones!
R-R-Rags!" greeted his
ears. With a dart of in
conceivable rapidity, Rags
jumped up and ran to the
next block from whence
the voice emitted. But
when he got there, imagine
his disappointment to lind
that the voice was not that
of Beckmann's delivery
boy, but an Italian rag
picker. Woefully did Rags
wend his way home with
his tail between his legs
and head bowed down in
sorrow.

Up To You

If you want to live in a
town divine,
In the town you've in mind
that's superfine,
Just pack your grip and
leave at once,
For we're only too glad to
get rid of a Ounce.
When you board the train
for the town you like,
Please drop US a postal so
we can hike
And look at your town of
finer mould
Than the town you left
with it's dear and old.
But I'll wager you ten or
more if you please,
That the town you left and
the folks you leased,
Cannot be b e a t N whe'er
you go
For our town is so good,
it's as white as snow.
And you'll only find what
YOU left behind,
That all towns are human,
not superfine.
You knock at yourself when
you knock your town
1t isn't the Tow hts
YOU.

Thanks to the "power of

has scored an important
victory through "The West

Bradshaw, president of the
Woman's Club. The COM
plant was published in
these col u m n S that the
weeds had grown so tall
and rank they covered up
the sidewalks. And t h e Y
did. Then Mrs. Bradshaw
got hold of the ear of Coun-
week men came down and
Gilman McGloin and this
chopped the weeds away.

BUT ONLY A DREAM

During the summer months mil
lions upon millions Of city people
will rush of to the country for their
two weeks vacation. They win work
hard at play. spend their money, and
go home dead tired to face another
year of hard work.
But suppose they varied the Pre-.
ceedure for one summer as an ex-
pertinent. Suppose each vacationist
spent the two weeks on some farm
where labor is scarce, and men are
hard to get, and crops are light or
wasted because there are not enough
men to till or harvest them.
A couple of weeks of moderate work
on a farm would be vastly more bene-
fetal to health than the same period
spent in tearing around doing moth
ing.
And millions of dollars of addition
al produce would be added to the
store in the warehouses of the coun-
try. the wealth Of the land would be
enhanced, Drawn and muscle would
be hardened, brains would become
clarified. and humanity would be ele-
waited.
OF course 1t Is only a dream and
will never be realized--but then
dreams are often sweeter than the
reality.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS

The regular monthly meeting of the
Audubon Commercial Club was held
Monday evening. A large numDe,
of the members were present and
much discussion was INDUCED in re-
garding the various propositions
that were brought up for considera-
ton.
Representatives from the farmers
who contemplate installing a tele-
phone exchange in Audubon and also
representatives from the Bell Tele-
phone Co., were heard. All seem to
be agreed that we must have better
service. but the problem that con-
fronts all is, how are we to get it.
The Bell Company promises to give
us much better service and are at
this moment rebuilding their line and
making improvements in their office
equipment. The farmers, or many
of them who are interested in the
rural lines contend that the service
is bad and the only relief is to build
their own exchange. How the mat
ter will eventually end is still ques-
ton. One thing seems certain, how
ever, that we are going to have bet
ter telephone service. The Club as
a body took no definite action in re-
gard to the situations.
The Club ratified the action of the
city council in regard to hiring Hen
ry Paulsen to sprinkle the streets at
salary of 500 per month. The
Fourth of July committee also re-
ported that the stage was all set for
a big celebration and urged all citi-
Gems to lend a helping hand to make
the celebration this year the best in
the history of the town.

they went to Carroll and in the after
noon were married at the Methodist

thought they contemplated matri-

The first intimation of the wedding
came when the bride sent card to
her mother, Mrs. Fred Sunberg who
resides near Hamlin, telling her of
the elopement.
The contracting parties are very
popular and have a host of friends
who extend to them most hearty
congratulations and oesr wishes for

BIG AUTOMOBILE UPsETs

John Reuschling, who is manager
of five of the rural telephone lines
running out of Audubon, had quite
miraculous escape from serious in
jury last Saturday morning when the
car he was driving upset just after
he crossed the Botna river bridge
three miles east of town. He in
company with G. II. Sampson and
Chef Jones have been spending con-
siderable time rebuilding the lines.
Saturday morning Mr.. Sampson sand
Mr.. Jones again accompanied Mr..
Reuschling and when they reached
this certain point in the road they
found it quite slippery. The result
was that the automobile skidded and
slid down a five foot embankment,
rolling half way over. The car was
running at a low rate of speed and
when Mr.. Reuschling saw that the
car was going down the embank-
ment, he shut off the gasoline.
The car lolled onto Mr.. Reusch-
ling and Mr. Sampson but Chef Jones
jumped out to safety. The two for
mer gentlemen were caught with
their feet under the car. AS soon as
help arrived they were released
None of the men were injured SO the
accident turned out very fortunate,
for had the car fallen onto their bod
les they would have been crushed to
death. The steering wheel and the
wind shield were completely demol-
ished but otherwise the Apperson
Jack Rabbit suffered no damages.
When the car was turned, right side
up. the engine was started and the
machine was run back to town for
repairs.

At the regular monthly meeting OF
the w. o. W. last evening 1t was vot-
ed to accept a class of thirty new
members. Canvassers have been in
the field the past week. and the or
der had hoped to at least secure fifty
additional members. The thirty ca
didates will be initiated into the mys-

that this number will be increased by
that time. The drill team is holding
weekly practices and is endeavoring
to make record on the night of the
initiation.
