Kansas City, Mo, May s.-Dande-

lroad to get rid of them, according to

"The dandelion soon will begin to

schools said yesterday. "And then,
what already has become serious

otherwise the lawns and the parks

WHEN Will THE WAR END?

WHEN Will TIE WAX ENDE
Here is a coincidence in figures.
Take the two years of the Franco
Prussian war and add them together:
1870 plus 1871 equals 3741. The fig
ures thus obtained give you the dura-
ton of the war, for it began on the
Sd Of the seventh month of 1870 and
ended on the 4th of the first month
of 1871 Then add the two years OF
the present war: 1914 plus 1915
equals 1929. It is true the war did
commence on the Sd of the eighth
month of 1914. If the thing works
out properly the war should there
fore end on the I'd of the ninth month
of this year.-Tid Bits,

Inqusitiveness is not generally re-

when inquisitiveness is properly d.

this point is told by John j. Arnold,

lated the experience of a young man

house in Chicago, where the latter
started his career as a helper to

He got hold of certain classes of
goods Mr.. Arnold said. THE names

the institution. He studied that in.
stitution from one end to the other
and he studied all of the fabrics, all
of the different things that went to
make up that particular piece of
goods, and in that way he analysed
every piece of goods that came into
his hands. He was not satisfied mere
ly to take the goods and hand them
out, but he wanted to know what he

Adeberg Speaks
To The Fairview
Voters On Election

Inc eliminating process at the Pri-
mares now being completed, the
selection has resolved down to two
candidates from which you are to
choose, one to whom you will entrust
the government of the Borough of
t'airview.
Don't make the error of allowing
party affiliations to govern your de-
cision. Party politics have no room
In the affairs of a small borough
like Fairview and while l have re-
ceived the Republican nomination and
have always held allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party
and always will, believing them to be
the form of government guarantee
ing to the people the greatest liberty
and prosperity, l solicit my support
at the coming election from the peo-
pie of Fairview, regardless of party.
| mean you, Mr.. Voter, who is dis
satisfied with the present administra-
tion, its extravagant methods and it's
eXhorbitant taxes with which you are
burdened, and which are destined to
be higher this year and every year,
until you demand change and insist
on economy and conservation.
The record of my opponent stands
as borough history and a fair deduc-
tion is that the present methods will
be continued, should he be reelected.
| enter the field without a political
record, determined to put the finances
of this borough on sound financial
basis, enforce economy and reduce
the exhorbitant taxes. If | accom-
plish this l will consider myself fully
repaid for my efforts and sacrifices.
From the beginning have resolved
to carefully avoid personalities in my
campaign and l trust to be pardoned
for this reference. My condemnations
are not against any individual, but
the administration as whole to
which properly belongs any credit or
discredit for the present conditions.
| am not one who stands in the
way of necessary improvements, as
my pride in advancing the interests
of the borough is second to none,
but l do demand that all improve
ments be made consistent with in
come and that they do not cost one
dollar more than is absolutely neces-
sary. l favor the severest competi
tion in the expenditure of all i'm
provement funds and l consider the
trust placed in me to handle the
peoples funds equal to that which l
have in handling my own.
The people of Fairview are offered
an opportunity to change conditions
for the better. How they avail them
selves of it remains to be seen.
In conclusion, l wish to thank my
friends for the support given me in
the primaries and feel assured of a
much larger vote on November 2.
Yours respectfully,
J. E. Adelberg.

Tunnicliff Lawn
Model OF Beauty

One of our worthy residents in
Grantwood, having a keen sence of
beauty and order, is devoting him
self to make, if possible, the grounds
around his house the most attractive
and pleasing of any in this borough.
This is Mr.. N. H. Tunnicliff, on Laf-
ayette avenue. Less than year
ago this gentleman became the owner
and occupant of this estate, and as
quickly as conditions would permit
began to rescue it from it's former
somewhat delapidated appearance
and developing it's possibilities. The
resources of leading nurseries east
and west were levied on for arboreal
and floral material, which has been
used to excellent advantage. AS
yet little more than the beginning is
in evidence, but this promises well
for the future, when, in addition to
the blooming forth Of trees, shrubs
and plants already set out, there will
appear beautiful rose hedge on the
line dividing this property from a
one and other features
which are being worked out by the
interchangeable owner.

right of way as a thoroughfare, and
pointed out that it was the pecuniary
interest of the railway company to
have this done. Councilman Sammis
proposed that in order to bring the
whole matter to head, a petition
be prepared and signed by at least 81
per cent. of the abutting property
owners, and presented to the council.
Mayor Neumann referred to the
conference of members of the council
with officials of the Public Service
Railway at Newark some time ago, at
which the latter agreed to hold up
the fence, and to take no further
steps until they should give notice of
the same. Mr.. Neumann said that
about September Is some of the rail
way officials came and with himself
and Councilman Flood inspected
thoroughly the line. They were not
able to decide upon any plan, how
ever, in regard to the roadway. The
speaker proposed that time be set
apart for public hearing on the
matter, when the railway officials
could be present with maps and
papers to meet the council and citi-
zens for thorough discussion of the
question. Friday evening, October g.,
at Cliffside Fire Hall was decided
upon as the time and place for the
meeting. Mr.. Leeger, as an abut-
ting property owner on the railway
offered to do all in his power to aid
in getting the requisite number of
signers to the petition. His offer
was accepted.
Attorney Agnew reported that
judge Campbell had that morning
granted an order for the appoint
ment of the following three persons
as assessment commissioners for as
sessing the cost of the borough's new
sewer system: William j. Morrison,
jr., Ridgefield Park; John J. Ferry,
Englewood; and Senator Charles O.'C.
Hennessy, Haworth.
Mayor Neumann reported the COM
pletion of the sewer outlet in Edge
water. He requested that Clerk Brun-
dage notify the Edgewater mayor
and council to this effect, and ask for
their inspection and approval of the
same.
Engineer McClave said that Cliff
sides connection with Edgewater's
outlet had not yet been made. He
had seen Mayor Wissel, who had said
that he would be glad to inspect the
outlet at any time.
The mayor appointed Messrs. Fred
erick L. Smith, R. H. Mutt and
Joseph Wunsch as commission to
assess the costs of the Walker street
improvement.
The contract for the plumbing
work for the Cliffside Fire Hall was
awarded to the Grantwood Plumb
ing and Heating Company for $3.50.
The second payment on the Oakwood
avenue and Columbia avenue sewer
improvement due to be paid to Edward
English on September was ordered
to be borrowed against unpaid assess
ments and paid to Mr.. English.
In the matter of the application of
certain citizens to have a Board of
Protectors appointed, the Mayor re-
ferred the same to the Law and Or
dinance Committee and the attorney.
Council then adjourned until the
next regular meeting, Monday Octo-
ber II.

Last Wednesday night,
Edward Caffall in passing
Cooper's house, saw some
one sitting on the porch.
AS the Coopers were away
on their vacation, Edward
got a little shock thinking
it was burglars, but on
second thought he decided
it was a drunken man. So
he very bravely called out.
"Hey! What are you
doing there 2"

came the answer from the
porch. That settled it. 1t
was someone drunk. En-
listing the aid of a neigh
Dor, Edward and the neigh
Dor cautiously approached
the enemy and when within
h caring distance, they
decided to use strategy.
"Gwan now and beat it
quick" commanded Edward
and the neighbor in unison.
"Darn yeh, Can't yer let

one. At the same time
two boys and two girls
arose from the rockers on
the porch and marched
calmly down Bluff road.
