Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-09-23

The story published last week about
Randolph Brown, James Woolcott,
both of Palisade, and young Albert
McMahan, of Plainfeld, who were
overturned in a canoe on Lake Cham
plain at midnight, September14, was
more nearly a terrible tragedy than
has already been told.
James Woolcott returned from
camp last week, and though some
what reluctant to tell the whole story
of himself and his two companions,
the facts have gradually come out
through him.
The boys were in summer camp
on the Vermont side of the lake I'M
der the guardianship of Prof. Smith,
of the Englewood high school, and at
times had gone over by boat to
Plattsburg to attend the movie shows
On the night in question the three
boys, all fine athletic fellows, canoed
to Plattsburg, saw movie show, and
were returning when the accident oc-
cured about midnight. When the trio
five miles, the lake was as smooth as
a millpond, but on their return quite
a wind had sprung up, and white caps
were running high. Nothing daunted,
although with some misgivings, the
boys started back to camp. All went
we'll till about midway over, big
wave caused a slight shift in their
positions, and the intuitive effort each
put forth to right himself, tipped over
the canoe, and over they went. AL
though the boys were all good swim
mers, after clinging to the upturned
canoe a few minutes it was determined
that young McMahan should undertake
to swim back to Plattsburg, leaving
Brown and Woolcott clinging to the
bottom of the canoe.
McMahan had on a pair of new
shoes when he went into the water,
and these he took off, giving one to
each boy to hold, as he let go to swim
ashore.
When he finally landed at Platts-
burg, two hours later, about ESQ a. M,
he was completely exhausted. But he
managed to tell his story to an old
fisherman he found ashore OF what
had happened, then fell over and lost
consciousness through complete bodily
and mental exhaustion. The old fisher
man said it was no use to go out
than. as the boys had either drowned

We must study the market de-
mands carefully and select good
sires of the type that will enable
us to meet them. II we find that a
butcher or packer likes an animal of
extreme beef type because that ami
NAL yields a higher percentage of
the high priced cuts, the sires must
be selected accordingly. If we find
that the horse buyer takes the big,
drafty, sound horse in preference to
the chunk when his order calls for
horses for heavy work, we must Sc
cure sires that will get colts Of that

Many people have prejudice
against sour milk. Nevertheless
during the past few years it has come
into great popularity in the United
States.
1t is a known fact that many ma.
tiOns of the world, especially of West
ern Asia and Eastern Europe, look
upon sour milk as an essential part
of their daily diet. Among the Bul.
garians, who use sour milk, habit.
ually, an unusual number of very
old people is found.
Sour milk, whether buttermilk
skinned milk or whole milk, has
much to recommend it. 1t is nu.
/ tritious and wholesome diet for any
time of the year, but is especially
good during the summer months.

DRINK GETS HIM.
THE Friendliest Man in st. Louis"
Knocks Under to King Alcohol.
Once Called Wilson Spineless
President.

st. Louis, Mo-, August 1.-THE
Rev. DR.. William williamson, former
pastor of the third Baptist Church
here, known as, 1.-The friendliest man
in st. Louis" in an interview given
to reporters yesterday morning said
his recent breakdown was due to
drink. He left st. Louis for Kansas
City, where he formerly had a pastor
ate, on his way to Denver. After a
months visit he will return to St.
louis and begin anew his career as
clergyman.
DR.. Williamson's collapse six
months ago was one of the most dis
cussed topics in church circles in St.
Louis. His intimate friends were
aware that his breakdown was the
result of drink, and it was discussed
to some extent in various church
gatherings. The pastor was taken
from st. Louis and was kept at va
rious institutions in the hope that
he would recover and could again
take up his work at the church. Lat.
er the church voted to accept his
resignation.
A signed statement given out by
DR.. Williamson, in which he blames
drink for his present condition, fol
lows:

churches of st. Louis. Most of thes'
years were spent night and da!

THE WORLDS GREATEST.
Will BE Seen at Missouri State Fair.
Largest Saddle Horse Stake in
America Filled.

In the present year, September
2Srd to 3Oth, at Sedalia, there will
be gathered together 25 or more of
the greatest saddle horses In Amer
lea. The directors of the Missouri
State Fair have hung up $4,000 in
cash to be divided between the will
ners of the Senior Saddle Stake, and
$500 to winners of entries in the
Junior Saddle Stake, This $4,000
has caused the stakes to MI quickly
by the entry of Americas grea, test
saddle horses and the youngsters.
Missouri. Kentucky, Illinois and Col
orado will be represented by the
greatest saddle horses ever produc-
ed upon American soil. Time was
when great horse was mentioned
our thoughts naturally fell upon
Kentucky as its place of nativity,
but today Missouri can lay claim to
the breeding and training of some OF
the finest on earth. This feature OF
the great State Fair should be sum.
cient in itself to bring to every lover
of fine horse to sedalia Fair Week.

but the problem of feeding, housing
clothing and providing amusement for the
family remains always with us. In the
last analysis, the question of making ends
meet-admittedly the most difficult ques-
tion in the world-devolves upon the
woman. Good, bad or Indifferent, she Is
the actual economist.
The man earns the money; Il Is the
woman who spends It. And whether or
not her family gets full value In nourish-
ing food, comfortable living quarters,
warm, sensible clothing depends even
more on the one who disburses the money
than on the one who brings 1t In.
How do you apportion the family In
come? What percentage of the whole do
you spend for food and what for rent7
Is II possible for large family living on
small sum to have any money for
amusement2
Above have been printed budgets tabu-
lated by two women who have made a
detailed study of the subject A profess
sional expert, Miss Edith Baer. head of
the Domestic Science Department OF the
Drexel Institute, believes It necessary for
a family of five living on $50 a week to
spend 40 per cent. of that income on food
alone.
Mrs. N. r. Hitchcock. n prominent
member of the Civic Club, who has been
doing practical work along these lines,
believes that If a woman is n close buyer
If she studies the markets and knows
food values-she can feed n family of five
on $40 week income on So, or 30 per
cent
Perhaps you do even better than this.
Let us hear about II. We want the de-
tails, so that other women less efficient
in the management of their funds will be
able to profit from your experience. How
much meat do you buy? Can you have
desserts? What rent Is II wise to pay?
How are car fares managed? Is there
money left for the ''movies?' How about
the clothing? What of insurance and the
savings account?

upon our books in evidence of this de-

a steady outgoing of fraternal interest in
