a distinctively military uniform, un-

soldiers duties while rowing the seas

Chicken Pie Supper
At Palisade Union
Church Next Thursda,

The Palisade Chicken Pie Suppers
have become such an institution of
the village that to speak of them in
the same breadth with any other
kind of feast is to make anything
else in the eating line pale into in
significance. Next Thursday even
ing at the Union Church, another of
these attractive events will take
place, and reserved seats days in ad-
vance will be in order. 1t would be
an idle waste of words to attempt
anything in the way of praise for
these sumptuous feasts by the Wo-
mans League. They are now so
famous that anything said would be
like guiding refined gold, or paint
ing the lily. Heretofore, the mere
mention of one of these chicken pie
affairs has been to create a center
rush akin to football tactics. Every
body has been anxious to occupy
front seat at the first table, and many
a heartache has been felt because of
an undue wait caused by the large
numbers of applicants for positions
at the banquet-for banquets they
are, with nothing to be desired.
Remember the date: next Thurs
day evening, six-thirty o'clock, No
vember II. Come one, come all, and
be prepared to enjoy yourselves.

Boys Build Bonfire
On Election Night
Which Draws Crowd

The small boys of Palisade, head
ed by Paul Binner, as club scout,
took a run around town on last Tues
day and scooped up all of the avail
able finder for their regular election
bonfire. If anybody had box on
the side of the house saved up for
kindling wood, it didn't do them any
good, for the boys got it, largely by
the asking, and in other cases the
box would just walk off. By night
fall the big pile in Palisade avenue
just north of Bluff road, was as high
as the telephone wires, almost, and
growing every minute. 1t finally got
to be whopper, and at 1880 o'clock
the boys, headed by two drums and a
banner, marched over the village an
nouncing the blaze at 8 o'clock.
Promptly at that hour the wigwam
builders had their torches ready
and the blaze was started. The
crowd standing very near at first
soon began to widen out a bit, and
in few minutes the forked tongues
of flame were darting up forty feet
high and the crowd was warm seven
ty-five feet away. 1t was a great
spectacle while it lasted, and many
of the little chaps played games
around it and spun yarns till after
ten.
Those engaged in the fun were:
Il
son, Alcide and Carl Pinard, Winter
and "Shug" Ebel, Werner Ebel,
Martin Lyon, the Scutano boys,
Thomas Fredericks, Brother" Pen
nell, Carl and Theodore Kemm, John
Purdon, Junior Jackson and a score
of others.

Reed Howell's Speach
AT Fort Lee Meeting
A Fine Promise

Mr.. Reid Howell, of Rutherford, a
candidate for one year on the Small
Board of Freeholders, spoke last
week, Saturday night, at the Repub-
lican meeting in Cella's Hall, Fort
Lee The speech made a fine I'M
preston. :,
Among other things Mr.. Howell
said that there was no further ques-
ton about the County now having a
Small Board of Freeholders. "Two
matters are settled" he said, 1.-The
system of administration at Hacken-
sack is to be changed; and we are
to have complete housekeeping in
County Government" He then ex-
pressed his appreciation for the part
the people of the County had in this
housekeeping campaign, pointing out
the part which is being overlooked.
that "you, the voters of the County,
with one stroke of the sword of popu-
lar disapproval have removed from
office every member of the present
Board of Freeholders. In the pri-
mary election not one member of the
present Board was re-nominated for
a place on the new Board.
"By the increase of the bonded in
debtedness from $1,535,000 in 1910,
to over $4,000,000 today, and by the
increase of the taxes something like
$1,25O,000 today, a sentiment against
the old Board has been aroused that
cannot be pacified. Other contribut-
ing causes for this aroused public
sentiment are found in the unbusi-
ness like methods of selling bonds at
par at private sale, when bond houses
would gladly have paid $1O6 for
them. Further offenses are discov-
cred in the letting of road construc-
ton awards to favored contractors;
and in the attitude of the Board and
those who control it toward the
change of the system by which such
wrong doing is possible"
Referring to his six colleagues as
body of business men with whom
it was a pleasure to be associated, he
said: "From the beginning of the
campaign we have each of us stood
out in the open, pledged, if elected,
to conduct the business of the county
in such manner that the taxpay-
ers may secure the largest possible
return for the taxes he is forced to

Charming Wedding
At Trinity Church

One of the most charming func-
lions in Grantwood in the entire year
was the wedding, last Sunday, of
Miss Anna Kissel and Oscar w.
Greiner, both of Cliffside, at Trinity
Episcopal Church.
Miss Kissel is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Kissel, jr.; Mr..
Greiner is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Oscar Greiner, ST.
The pretty service took place at
five o'clock in the afternoon, the
church being filled with the friends
and relatives of the contracting
parties.
Shortly after five the Lohengrin
march sounded and the wedding pro-
cession entered the church, being
met at the chancel steps by the
groom and best man.
The scene at this point was a very
lovely one, the wedding costumes and
the robes of the officiating clergy
man blending beautifully with the
floral decorations of the chancel and
altar. After the all too short serv-
ice, the strains of the Mendelssohn
march sounded and the procession
marched down the chancel and aisle.
The bridesmaid was Miss Kissel's
sister, Miss C. Kissel; the best man
was Mr.. Fred Yegger, of Yonkers
Mr.. Arthur Rooney and Mr.. George
Christensen wee ushers. The cere-
mony was performed by the rector,
Rev. Marshall F. Montgomery. Miss
Nancy Bowman was at the organ
The special floral decorations were
arranged by Mrs. William Dana.
Owing to the fact that the Kissel
family are in mourning, the wedding
was a quiet one, there being no re-
ception held for the guests.
The bridal couple departed for
their honeymoon to Pierceton, In
diana, where they were to visit the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Richcreek
formerly of Cliffside. Mr.. and Mrs
Greiner will reside in Highbidge
New York. Mr. Greiner is private
secretary to one of the New York
Central officials at the Grand Central
Terminal.

Farm And Garden

Regular feeding develops the
profitable calf. Every calf should
have the whole milk of it's mother for
about ten days.
The Scotch sparrow is found on the
farms of the northeastern part of
the United States to the extent of
five pairs on each farm.
It should be an ironclad rule on
every poultry farm that the moment
a fowl is ailing it should at once be
separated from the rest of the flock.
If placed in a cage in dry, warm
room it can be best treated.
Geese might we'll be more numer-
ously kept than they are. They
forage so we'll for themselves that
the cost of keeping is not large.
On waste or marshy ground they will
practically require no feeding.
An Aberdeenshire farmer got a
surprise recently. On visiting a field
where stock were grazing he found
that newly-dropped foal had been
taken charge of by cow that gave
her milk freely to it.
Salt is absolutely essential to the
preservation of the health of milk
producing herds, while the expense of
sailing sous is so trifiing that it can
not be used as an excuse for not at
tending to such weighty considera-
ton.
A potato grown at Northwood.
Kent, England, was cut into twenty
three pieces and planted on April
II. Each piece grew, and when the
crop was dug up lately it was found
that the single tuber had produced
267 potatoes, or about thirty pounds
in weight.
Sheep delight in the short grass
and peculiar heritage of hill pastures
and bare downs; and the mutton
produced in such pastures, and by
the breeds most suitable to them, is
of superior quality to that of the
large fat sheep fed on richer soil.
A good plan to prevent egg-eating
is to blow the contents out of an egg
and fill the shell with mustard or
cayenne pepper, so as to give
lesson to the hen which breaks it.
Where egg-eating is prevalent
amongst large flock, however, it is
the surest and best way to kill the
offending bird or birds.

Bad Nest Of thieves Uncovered
By Boulevard Police This Week
Cana Took Auto Tires to Value of $50, OOO--Eigtt
Car Loads of Tires StoIen--Leader Had 81, 72O in
His Sock, Wrapped Around His Legs -Headquarter
in West NelU York Saloon.

George Van Horn, SO years of age
af 241 Twenty-fourth street, Gutten-
berg, had $1,720 in bills of large de-
nomination wrapped around his legs,
under his socks, when searched in
West New York police headquarters
last night after his arrest on suspi-
cion of being connected with whole
sale robberies of automobile tires
and shoes. He was one of four men
taken by Chief Glossy, of the Boule-
ward police, with three of his men and
Detective Kenny, in raid on
Ferdinand Wolfahat's saloon, at 459
Hudson avenue, where the alleged
thieves made their headquarters. The
arrests were made after weeks OF
detective work by Clossey's men in
tracing the quartette.
Besides Van Horn, who gave his
business as that Of bartender, those
arrested were: Louis Gruenwald, 39
years old, of II Sixth street, West
New York, bartender; Albert Hab-
ermann, As years old, of Kissel
street, North Bergen, laborer, and
William REM, "a years old, of All
Hudson avenue, also laborer. Wohl-
fahat, the saloon keeper, was held on
a charge of having stolen goods In
his possession.
The Boulevard police say that there
have been thefts of eight carloads OF
automobile shoes and tires and they
expected to fasten all on the men
taken yesterday. They also claim
having recovered six automobiles
which were stolen. In the cellar OF
Wohlfahat's saloon the police found
eight shoes and some tires. Wohl-
fahat at first denied that he had any
such goods on his premises, but a
search revealed them. He also denied
that he knew anything about the men
except that they spent considerable
time in his saloon.
The arrest of Gruenwald was the
second time he was locked up within
a week. Last week Officer futile, OF
the Boulevard squad, took him in on
a charge of driving machine with
a fictitious license and asked that he
be held in heavy bail. The Boule-
ward police gave no particulars at the
time, but said it was important that
a heavy bail be fixed for Gruenwald
Plainclothes work by Officer Hanley
since then resulted in yesterdays
move on WohlfAhat's saloon.
Gruenwaldg whose bail last week
for driving machine with fictitious
license, was fixed at $1,000 had to
furnish another $500, making $1,000
security in all for his appearance be-
fore Recorder Eggers on Friday
night. Van Horns bail was fixed at
$4,000. Habermann and REM were
paroled.
The police would not say where the
theft of eight carloads of tires and
shoes took place, but the impression
is that it was in the West Shore Rail
road yards, where thievery has been
heavy and in which the railroad has
been a heavy loser by thief of car
burators from automobiles for the
Allies.
