Food Conservation
Campaign Was
Great Success

Under the able leadership of Mrs.
Koch of Grantwood, as Chairman Of
the Local Committee, and Miss Es-
Their tombstone, Vice Chairman, the
Borough of Cliffside Park has been
made to realize fully what Herbert
Hoover's conservation food campaign
really means. The result is a phe-
nomenal success, and only occasion
ally did the ladies who made the house
to house canvass meet with the re-
suits of German propaganda-the re-
fusal to sign the food conservation
cards.
1t is quite evident that enemy pro-
paganda is at work in the Borough of
Cliffside Park in attempting to null
lily the earnest work of the Local
Committee. 1t might be also said
on reliable authority that the per-
sons at the back of this propaganda
are known by the proper authorities
and are being watched. This may
serve as a warning to them.
The active work was conducted by
five captains and their district as
sistants.
The captains are: Mrs. Warren Ey-
rich, Mrs. George Dickinson, Mrs.
Seymour Sears, Mrs. Joseph Mitchell,
and Mrs. E. c. Hellstern, Mrs. Haage,
Mrs. Moody, Mrs. Koran, Mrs. Ben
nett, Miss Edith Foringer.
The captains were assisted by Mrs,
George Vaughn, Mrs. Milehagn, Mrs.
Arthur Dodge, Miss Josephine Eyrich,
Miss Carrie Di'Sciascio, Mrs. L. Cav
anaugh, Mrs. McGrath, Mrs. Jane
Coulter, Miss Marchesano, Miss Groe-
mig, and Mrs. Moody.
1t is. hoped that those housewives
who failed to sign the food conserva-
ton cards through misunderstanding
Of the object and the great necessity
Of this food conservation campaign,
will reconsider and notify the Local
Committee of their willingness to
join with the great national move
ntent.

s Club
Meeting Next
Monday Eve 'ng

The Citizens Club of Cliffside Park
will hold its next monthly meeting on
Monday evening, November 10, at 8
o'clock. Two matters of great i'm
portance to the Borough will be dis
cussed and action by the Club taken
thereon.
The first matter is that of property
restrictions. Restrictions in certain
sections of the town, particularly of
Fr~s ~ Alnysezsr1sJ -
future of the town depends largely
upon future land values and upon
what disposition is made of the prop
erty after these restrictions expire.
The subject is one which bears very
heavily upon future land values and
upon the desirability of the Borough
as residential section.
The other subject bears a close re-
lation to the foregoing in that it is
to discuss the movement for extend
ing the function of the zone law to
townships. The zone law refers to
the authority that city may have
to restrict retail business to a GER
tain section of the city, to restrict
manufacturing business to another
section of the city, thereby leaving the
residential section undisturbed by the
nuisance following upon too close a
contact with a business enterprise.
At the present time there is a move
ment afoot to have this zone law ex-
tended so as to cover small communi-
ties. This is particularly desirable
in suburban sections around large
cities like New York.

MANY SURPRISES IN FINAL COUNT.

The Fort Lee election count has
developed the fact that the Republi-
cans Jared much better than was at
first indicated. The defeat of Sam
Corker for Mayor overshadawed all
other news connected with the fracas.
but when the returns were all in it
was seen that five Republicans on the
ticket were elected and only two DEM
ocrats. Five out of seven was a
pretty good record, and is SO regard
ed. AS stated elsewhere, trading
alone elected White over Corker.
The Borough Council will stand three
Republicans to three Democrats, but
this situation is dead sure to bring
out a condition that will prevent any
sort of radical legislation, and no
doubt will put crimp in the present
system OF running secret service"

Vulnerable thing connected with the
present administration, and the one
thlng that Mayor White completely
lodged as an issue throughout the
entire campaign. But he will have
a night on his hands if he attempts

anotner term, and many people are
wondering what he will do then.

COUNCIL NOW EVENLY DIVIDED.

The Fort Lee election passed off
quietly after one of the hottest cam
paigns ever recorded, with the usual
bitterness and billingsgate slung
around loose by the Kelly-W White
forces. The Corker ticket was man
aged with the single purpose of pre-
senting facts for the public to think
about and as much freed from per-
sonalities as possible. Their cam
paign could not have been conducted
along cleaner lines. The day could
not have been more desirable. 1t was
wonderful weather.
In Palisade the polls opened
promptly at seven o'clock, with Arth-
ur Brady, Bernard Brady and Arthur
Willmann in charge of the voting
booths which were located in the H.
D. Schall real estate Office at the
Palisade Junction.
By eleven o'clock some seventy
votes had been cast, and from ap-
pearances it looked as though White
had steadily lost ground all day. A
very close tab had been kept on the
voters, and there was pretty accur-
ate knowledge of just what was being
done. By five o'clock about 40 votes
were registered in Palisade, and the
rest came after, the total being 157,
the largest vote ever cast in the vii
lagos history, total out of 203
registered, however, showing that
the percentage was quite some below
the average based on registration.
In Fort Lee, the voting strength was
eJsa.sha .argest ever cast, due 10 the
extraordinary efforts to get Every
man entitled to suffrage. In no other
campaign was so much effort made to
get voters to the polls. Both Corker
facilities on the streets, there being
five or six all dolled up for both
sides, with banners of oilcloth paint
ed with the names of the candidates
all over them. The White cars, how
ever, were featured with his own and
candidate Murphy's portraits hung
on the rear of the cars. Strangely
enough, Mr.. Murphy played an i'm
portant part in the White campaign
for the reason that the Mayor expect
ed to get the most Strength out Of
the movie interests by promises of
catering to that interest and by cir
culating reports that Corker was
against the movies" No truth in
the statement, however, but it had it's
effect. The evident aim was to have
all the strength possible on the Coun-
Gil board to favor the movie interests,
for what reasons, only Mayor White
can tell. The Corker people had no
thought OF intention Of harming the
picture industry.
The automobiles did not have a
great deal to do, however, except to
carry the various candidates around
to the different polling places during
the day. The voters got to the polls
themselves, most people loving the
day for it's beauty of sky and air.
About four o'clock Mayor White, AS
SCISSOR Cavanaugh, candidate Murphy
and a number of White followers

SEALS ARE ALASkA'S
 GREATEST TREASURE

Seals live from twelve to fourteen years. The cows produces one pup each season beginning to breed when two years old The bulls are not ma ture until. their sixth or seventh year. In their first two years the bachelors associate with the pups; after that they occupy shore quarters adjacent to the harems until in their sixth or seventh year they begin to establish harems of their own.

 The bulls begin to arrive at the rookeries in May and June. The cows arrive in June, July and as late as August. Each bull collects harem~ of from one to 100 cows, the average being about sixty. A day or so after coming ashore each COW gives birth to a single pup. The harems began to disintegrate in Aug ust. During the two or three months of -the breeding season the bulls never taste food. Early in August the bulls take their departure. The rest of the colony soon follows, and by Novem- Der they all have gone.
 For the next six or nine months the seals never set foot on land, but swim about the Pacific ocean, feed ing and turning their fat into mus cle.

"Of all the treasures in Alaska the seals are probably among he most valuable" writes Pro. G. H. Parker of Harvard in the Scientific Month ly. Unlike mineral wealth they need never run out, for in consequence of their powers of reproduction, they can yield under reasonable control a large and continuous revenue for an indefinite future."
 The greatest seal rookeries are on t~George and St. Paul islands in Bering sea. There are probably about q third of a million now. The term inology used hn describing them is incongruous, Full grown male fur seal are called bulls and the ma- ture females cows. Their offsprings are termed bachelors. A bull with his assemblage of cows is called a harem and succession of harems
