coming his way and after oper-
ating at a loss for six years, the
magazine began to grow and has
grown to its present mammoth
circulation, 100000 copies month

few thousand or two thousand
readers who could understand
them are now read with interest

fifth winter in Florida. Early in
the past season he went to Cal

one month and now Mrs. Wind
sor is convinced that California
does not compare with Florida.
Florida, he said. has the better
climate. more beauties and more
delightful surroundings. while
California has at present better
roads, these will soon come to
this state and when they do the
state canot be surpassed on any
score.

WOMAN'S CLUB TO
MAKE JELLY FOR
THE BELGIANS
( Received too late for April 80
iSSue)

~ carload OF jelly and mar
malade for the Belgians" is the
plan proposed by the Woman's
Club of Auburndale, and accord
ing to agreement the Auburn
dale club will furnish at once a
nucleus of $50 glasses, each
member pledging herself to
make not les sthan six glasses OF
Jelly, jam or marmalade, and the
club vii solicit the cooperation
of the Florida Federation of
Womens Clubs, and all Florida
housewives in general.
There are six thousand club
women in Florida, and if each
one sent half dozen glasses Of
Jelly or preserves, it would not
take long to fill carload.
The proposition was brought
up in the club at its meeting
Tuesday afternoon, following
the presentation of a letter from
the Belgian Relief Committee
and the club went on record as
desiring to aid the Belgians in
some practical manner.
Mary Roberts Rinehart, in a
series OF articles For King and
Country in the Saturday Even
ing Post, states as follows:
Il wish some OF the women
who are knitting scarfs would
stop, now that the winter is
! over, and make jelly and jam for
the brave and cheerful little Bel
gian army. | am aware that it
is less pleasant than knitting. 1t
cannot be taken to lectures or
musicals. One cannot make
jam between the courses OF a
luncheon or dinner party, or dur
ing the dummy hand at bridge.
But the men have so little-un-
sweetened coffee and black
bred for breakfast; stew Of
bread for breakfast; stew of
meat and vegetables at midday,
taken to them. when it can be
taken, but carried miles from
where it is cooked, and perfect
| cold. They pour off the cold
liquor and eat the unpalatable
residue Supper is like break
fast with the addition of ra-
ton of minced meat and pota-
toes, also cold and not attractive
at the best"
And so, because Florida is the
greatest fruit state in the I'm
ion and there is always at
hand the material for jelly and
preserve making, and because
! the Women's Club of Auburn
dale believes that every house
wife in FLORIDA, could she but
find a way to send it, would
send half dozen glasses OF jel-
/ l.. to the brave little Belgian"
the local club is going to stand
sponsor for this carload of jelly.
Mrs. Earl c. May the Core
spending Secretary of the club,
was instructed OF take this mat
ter up with the State Federation
and, if possible, enlist their CO.
operation in this work.
According to the plan, but
briefly discussed at the Tuesday
meeting. every club in the state
will be asked to pledge at least
one hundred glasses, and it is
hoped the large clubs will send
much more. The car will be

Cliffside Park
Under Microscope

"The other day." said the dreamer,
81 found myself with pencil and
paper sketching what seemed to be-,
as much as anything else, rough
design for a pattern for plaid ging-
ham cloth. A few wide stripes in
each direction made series of
heavy squares. Within these were
smaller, lighter squares, made by
parallel lines at right angles to each
other. Still another series of finer
and timer checks were made by other
and still finer lines at right angles.
Looking more closely, could see a
maze of tiny black specks spread
over the whole. The outline of the
design was that of a horizontal
oblong, except that the greater part
of it's upper left hand corner was
cut to make two deep steps.
"This, l fear, is but tedious at

graph the birds eye plan of what is
called Cliffside Park Borough. The
heaviest bands of the plaid-like

across these the main arteries for

Defends The Bracket

The last day for filing petitions
for county officers, has past. Those
who seek honors have declared them
selves, and the Primary campaign is
in full swing That which is fore
most in the minds of all is the cleo
ton of the seven men who will be
Bergen County's governing body, the
members of the small board of chosen
freeholders. Both parties have a
number who are seeking nomination,
but the interest in the individual has
waned, giving place to the much
looked for fight against the Bracket
Democrats can easily recall the
election of the "Bracketed Seven
three years ago, and also the renomi-
nation of five 1.-TWO having with
DRAWN the following year.
Among these seven, was N. D.
Campbell of Hackensack, once more
one of the Bracketed Seven, who in
a short statement given to the press
this week justifies the position of the
Seven Being Bracketed. He says
eve seven feel that the taxpayers of
Bergen County want a change the
sooner the better. Their voices as
represented by ballots cast these last
few years show this. The taxpayer
wants retrenchment, business ad-
ministration and new system.
Seven men all understanding each
other all agreeing upon a certain
line of procedure, have conscientious
ly studied the situation We know
what we can do and we know how
to do it, there is no possible chance
of friction as to ideas or methods
after our nomination and election.
We seven stand as a unit to give the
taxpayers of Bergen County what is
rightfully theirs; what they really
pay for. This in itself, l think, is
reason enough for the existence of
the Bracket"
