Committees Share Of
Appointment Praise

The announcement of the appoint
ment of Samuel j. Corker last week
as the new custodian of the Court
House by the Freeholders-elect, was
hailed by the people of Fort Lee as
an honor justly conferred upon Mr..
Corker and at the same time the Dor
.ough at large. 1t is the very first
time that resident of Fort Lee has
ever received a political post of i'm
portance in the county seat, and it is
no wonder they should feel proud.
But it is not without the hardest
kind of work that such thing was
made possible, and laying aside the
popularity and personal magnetism
of Mr.. Corker, a great deal of credit
is due to the men who worked Loyalty
on the local Republican Campaign
Committee and helped to gain an ap-
pointment for the Borough of Fort
Lee.
Mr.. Corker assumes his new duties
after to-day.

AT an entertainment recently Mrs
C. P. Berkey was in conversation with
a lady who said that she was col
lege graduate. She remarked:
ooh, yes, graduated from Chicago
in 1903. May 1 ask what college
you came from Mrs. Berkey?"
Certainly" replied that lady in
the sweetest of tones, 81 received my
diploma from KITCHEN"
as it possible. l never heard OF
that place before in my life"
And Mrs. Berkey only smiled.
Mr.. Geo. H. Frew, did not spend
as merry Christmas as he might
have desired, for he was laid up last
week with a severe case of La
Grippe.
Bob Craymer has recovered the
insurance on his automobile, which
was burned recently in Hoboken
garage fire.
j. R. V. Hawkins, who went to the
hospital some time ago, suffering
with rhuematism, is much improved
but has not returned home as yet.
Miss Agnes Brady expected to pay

-Glenville Kingsley and his grand
father spent the holiday season in

Joe Wolpert says that if it had not
been for the bad weather he would
have sold out completely. AS it was
he did well, considering.
-Palisadians quite outdid all past
performances in the way of sending
handsome Christmas cards this year.
Business conditions are beginning
to brighten. All the merchants,
local and otherwise, are commencing
to see the light, and say that it is
better than it has been in some time.
Those who display on real esate
signs that lots can be purchased for
5000 or less, should show more promi-
nently to the public just where these
parcels of land are located. Strangers
reading these signs only see the price
in big letters and naturally associate
the figures with lots in Palisade. 1t
is not helping to build up the COM
munity along the lines originally in
tended.
Just as a reporter went by John
Purdon's house the other night the

Palisade Man Lost
His Patience Over
Recalcitrant Furnace

"This ding blasted furnace we've
got in our cellar" said Palisadian
the other day, behaves like some
people know"
whats the matter, having trouble
heating your house?" asked a neigh
Dor with whom he was talking.
Trouble? Why, that's my middle
name. Up to this year we found no
difficulty with it whatever. 1t al
ways ate up lot O. coal, but we
could always regulate the quantity
more or less by a proper manipula-
ton of the front and back draughts.
But we happened to break the slide
in the upper front door last spring.
This fellow Charlie Leeger, of Grant
wood, was sent for, and he fixed it
all right-his way. Say, do you
know Leeger may keep me out of
heaven? Well, he's a fine chap and
all that, but he gave me the wrong
steer on that furnace door. When
he brought it back he said, you
don't need the slide, anyhow. All
you have to do to get your front top
draft is to leave the door a little
on the crack All right. We have
tried it. 1t won't work. We can't
work it anyway or anyhow. Of
course, don't really hold Leeger to
blame-certainly not. But now when
we want hot fire and open the bot
tom front draft it blows the fire out
in an hour. If l open the back
draught, it won't burn at all. If l
leave the upper door on crack, as
Leeger said, good night! 1t just
won't burn at all. Now, the only
way we can keep the fire going at
all is to shut the whole thing up
tight as. wax, front top and bottom
and back draughts all at the same
time. Then it heats up to white
heat! There we have the contrary
thing working exactly backwards.
What is more, my coal bill is
third more than we have any record
Of"
"Have you tried" his friend
was about to ask.
"Say, if you value me as a friend
and neighbor don't tell me what to
try on that furnace. I've tried every
thing. It's got me daffy."

ton in many quarters, and the case
is bound to create wide interest. A
motion made for the dismissal OF
Prof. Davis, but all effort will be
made to stop this.
The Hackensack Record had this
to say of the verdict:
Principal Walter G. Davis, of the
Ridgeield Park High School, was de-
clared at 1.50 o'clock Saturday morn
ing to be guilty of the charges of in
efficiency, ETC., the Board Of Educa-
ton sitting in judgement. The vote
was to A. The verdict carries with
it the dismissal of the Principal, but
Lawyer w. B. Mackay, jr., has filed
notice of appeal.
The verdict will surprise no one in
Ridgefield Park, for the general pub
lie seemed to be aware of the fact
that the Board of Education has all
along been antagonistic to Mr.. Davis,
who has taught in the Park for nine
years.
1t was believed that the vote would
be Z to 2, but many think Lawyer
Mackay's mastery handling of the
case and his address last night won
over two others on the Board.
The charges against the Principal
have been stated several times in the
Evening Record The new Supervis-
ing Principal, Albert S. Davis, and
four new teachers offered the most
damaging testimony against the de-
PENDANT, fact that has aroused much
criticism.
Former graduates, themselves now
teachers, and County Supt. B. G.
Wooster, rallied to the support of
Principal Davis and told much to off
set the charges made against him.
The applause that greeted favor
able evidence during the three hear
ings was indicative of the popular
sentiment for Mr. Davis.
William J. Morrison, jr., appeared
as counsel for the Board, also for
the petitioners.
A large audience heard the adj
dresses last week, Thursday night,
by the lawyers, and Lawyer Mackay's
eloquent appeal for justice for Mr..
Davis brought tears to many in the
hall.-Record.

the house smashing the windows and
setting fire to the shingles.
In distracted amazement the
family hastily prepared to defend
their lives. Rushing here and there
the various members fired out of the
windows and kept the savages at bay
for breathing spell. But the fatal
work of the attackers had been too
well done. Soon the house was filled
with smoke and flame from the burn
ing roof. Fortunately the telephone
wire was still intact, and in frantic
haste the alarm was sent to the fire
department and police of Fort Lee
and Palisade.
Meanwhile a new onslaught was
made by the frenzied attackers and
all members of the family were
desperately engaged in staving off
the dusky assailants. Would the
police never come? At length the
welcome sound of the fire alarm and
the rush of the machine was heard in
the distance.
just as the assailantS succeeded in
gaining foothold in one of the win
dows ringing cheer burst on the
ears of the gallant defenders as the
firemen rushed up to the house and
blew the z o'clock factory whistle at
Edgewater. (Phew! what relief
All this happened because the
West Palisadian picked up recently
what he believes to be the second
stone ak or tomahawk he has found
near the house. Both stones are of
similar shape, roughly fashioned,
and each with depression on the
side that would allow split branch
to wrap over the stone and form a
handle.
What story these stones could
tell if they could speak!
