Special Notice
To Everybody

Parties receiving this issue of the
"Palisadian" need have no fear of in
lection from infantile paralysis fol-
lowing the death of it's recent owner
and publisher, Charles Thomas Logan,
jr., from this disease. The entire
printing plant was Immediately and
thoroughly fumigated by the Cliff
side Board of Health, and no one al
lowed in the offices until the next day.
The print paper did not arrive from
New York until Friday, so that there
could not be any possible chance for
the infection to be carried through
the medium of the newspaper itself.
This statement is made in order to
allay any fears that timid and anxious
people may have regarding the
matter.
This entire edition of the "Pali-
sadian" was fumigated Friday night,
September /.

Palisade Avenue to be Paved

At the Cliffside council meeting
Monday night the contract for the
asphalt improvement of upper Pail
SADIE avenue was awarded to E. c..
Humphreys, of Hackensack, for $685.
'942.58. Humphreys also has the con-
tract for the work on lower Palisade
avenue and Gorge road. His bid was
SO per cent. of the engineers esti-
mate. The other bidders were: D
Napilo Co. $24,919.82; Ernest Abrams
$25, 653.76 and Bergen Contracting
Co. $29,073.13. The engineers esti-
mate was $24,4312O. The awarding
of the bid was an important step in
one of the biggest improvements ever
attempted by the borough. The coun-
Gil was enthusiastic with the gener-
GUS offer of the State to pay SO
per cent. of the cost, for they saw
an opportunity to push Cliffside to
the foreground of jerseys fast grow
ing suburbs. Considerable opposition
was lodged with the council over the
improvement, but it was its belief
that the majority of taxpayers real
lied he enormous benefit that would
accrue to he borough when he work
was completed, and they proceeded on
that assumption. 1t is generally be-
lieved that there will be an unani-
nous voice of approval with the coun-
ellis action when the completed road
| is open to traffic next spring.

Washington, August 1.-Heavy dam
ages to the growing cotton crop be-
tween June % and July 25 has caused
a reduction of 100000 bales in the
prospective production. The August
cotton report of the department of ag
riculture announced today, indicated a
production of 1876 900, equivalent 500
pound bales, compared with 1926, 900
bales forecast from the condition of

month, the bureau of crop estimates
says:
The month ending July 25 has been
only fair for cotton in most of the
belt west of the Mississippi river and
in Tennessee and unfavorable east of
the river and in louisiana.
Rains in the drouth stricken south
ern costal region of Texas permitted
the planting of considerable late
acreage. The crop in the western belt
is well cultivated and moisture condi-
tons have been favorable although the
need for rain is now beginning TO be
felt.

tropical storm through portions OF

in July and an extremely heavy down.
pour at mid-July in the Carolinas, to-
gether with heavy and almost constant
rains during July throughout the en-
tire eastern belt have put the crop
badly in the grass, leached out much
of the already deficient amount of fer
tilizer, and greatly facilitated the ac-
tivity of the boil weevil where present,

physician treated me all through my suf-
fering and did me more good than any
of the others, but 1 went to Bay Minette
and stayed a month under rheumatism

doctor at Mason. Covington county

treated three months by specialists there,

I did and live. Six months ago 1 was
taken worse and was suffering with Sc

anything hardly and if did L couldn't
digest it. I got to where l didn't want
ANYTHING to eat, and at last I got SO
in bed. I had to lay on my left side
for two months and was nothing but
skin and bones.
"At last my father heard about Tanlac
and wrote to C. M. Virgins, tax col
lector of Covington county, to go to
Riley's Drug Store and get bottle and
send it by parcel post, which he did. I
commenced taking it as soon as it got
here. but I had no hope at the time that
I would be living long. After three days
the pains begun to leave me and I began
to get hungry and soon got to where I
could eat anything, and everything I eat
agrees with me.

violin and pick the guitar and eat every

Washington August -1.-While Mr..
Hughes was outlining in New York to-
day his position in favor of a federal
woman suffrage amendment, President
Wilson was being urged by OFFICIALS

left the White House Mrs. Carrie Chap

said the President was weakening IN
his opposition to the federal amend

still preferred action on the question
by states.

committee, talked with the President
for nearly an hour The engagement
was made several days ago and word
