WISHING IoH, ~. u,
June 16, 1917.
Charles Thomas Logan, Editor,
Palisade, N. ].
Dear Sir:
l write to ask your special coop
GRAFTON in an important phase of the
work of conserving food for ourselves
and our Allies. The plan | now have
in mind is designed primarily to
reach the church people and the wo-
men, but with the help Of the press
it can be made to cover the whole
community.
Under date Of June Is there will
be mailed to every minister whose
name | can secure personal letter
over my signature asking him to
preach upon the subject of Food
Conservation on Sunday, July first.
In the same letter, | shall express the
hope that this day will become known
as GOOD Saving Day." and that it
may be made the purpose and motto
Of every household in America to
Save the Waste and Win the War.
May | have your assistance along
the following lines; first, on Monday,
June 25 (but not before) and on sue
ceeding days, to announce in your
paper the general plan for Food Saw
ing Day, with whatever local ar
rangements for observing it may be
decided upon, and to support it edi-
torially.
Second, on Monday, July 2 (but
not before) and on succeeding days,
to carry in display type the motto
Save the Waste and Win the War;"
to print also notes or abstracts Of
sermons preached on July l, and
most important Of all, to drive home
the lessons of food conservation by
your own editorial comment.
| should be especially grateful if
your influence and that of your paper
could be used to enlist civic, fraternal,
patriotic, and other organizations in
the effort to make Food Saving Day
really effective in conserving the food
supply for us and for our Allies, and
in reducing the cost of living to our
own people.
Yours faithfully,
Herbert Hoover

On the Subject of Canals


The great weaken of this country
is the lack of canals. The Erie Canal
is rendered practically useless by the
control of the terminals by adverse
railroad interests.
The average citizen does not in
the least appreciate the sitiation
Canals would have rendered the re-
cent freight blockade absolutely inn
possible that is if intelligently oper-
ated. The canal system most urgent
~ needed by this country is a water
way of at least twenty-six feet in
depth starting at New York City,
proceeding up the Hudson to Albany.
Then the barge canal to Buffalo
The lakes, of course, give open pas
sage to Chicago. Here, canal
should run to the Mississippi at
Alton, Ill, thence the channel should
be kept open to New Orleans The
inner coast. channel is open to Florida.
The Florida ocean to gulf canal
should be built thus connecting up
with the inner passage now existing
along the coast north to New York
City, the starting point. Here would
be a circle canal waterway that
would be of incalculable strategic
value for both commercial and naval
purposes. But who knows of this :?
or, who will give it second thought /?

Edgewater Trust
Has Big Public Clock

A handsome public clock has been
placed in front of the Edgewater
Trust Company at Edgewater. The
clock has three-foot face, and is set
in an iron box-frame some eight feet
high, bracketed on the wall, and
makes a valuable addition to the
many attractions of Edgewater.

Turn all Crooks Loose

We are very lenient to the GRIM
inal classes in this borough. This is
as it should be. A man went out
hunting one fall. When he returned
somebody asked him: did you shoot
any game
"Why, no." said he, "but you
should have seen the way l made the
feathers fly"
The way those crooks scooted when
they were released was worth going
to Fort Lee to see.

Visiting Our Woods

1t is fine to see the numbers of
people that wander through our
woods literally studying nature.
Some have butterfly nets and others
baskets and boxes to take home
botanical and other specimens. Boy
Scouts are always welcome and so
are family parties.

The Great Land Movement

The great movement under way to
cultivate waste ground, which passes
under the name of vacant LOTS
shows how impossible it would be to
corner food products if all land were
open to cultivation.
The Real Estate Record and Guild
says: New York is having a back
to the land movement of it's own.
Both children and their elders have
united in a concerted attempt to de-
feat next autumn and winter the
price manipulation of the dealers in
vegetables, and they have adopted
what may prove in the end to be the
most effective MEANS"

peasants was to seize and divide the

Pocahontas and Mrs. Wilson.

1t was on the Dist of March, old
style, in 1917, that Pocahontas, love
Lest and most celebrated of all Indian
women, died in England, on the eve of
her projected return to her native land.
The climate of England did not agree
with Pocahontas, and she was already
in state of decline when she proceed
ed to Gravesend with her husband,
John Rolfe, and her infant son, Thomas,
purposing to take passage on a ship
bound for America. She had no sooner
reached Gravesend than she was strick-
EN- down with smallpox, to which she
soon succumbed.
Thomas ROlfe, the son of Pocahon-
tas, had a daughter named Jane, who,
in 1915, married Robert Boiling n
young Englishman who had settled in
Virginia. Jane had one son, and he in
turn was the parent of one son and five
daughters. This sons great-great-
grandson was William Holcomb Boil
ing, the father of Mrs. Woodrow VIII
son.-New York World.

Everybody agrees that the surface
of road must be oval in its contour,
says Farm and Fireside, but not all
understand that this oval ought to be
as fiat as the character of the road ma
terial and the lay of the land will per
nit. With brick or concrete construc-
ton the oval may be very fat, because
the traffic makes no ruts to carry the
water lengthwise of the road, nor does
the pavement soften and develop de-
pressions when kept In contact with
water. But broken stone water bound
macadam), being susceptible to pene-
tration by water and subject TO great
damage If frozen while soaked, must
be given higher oval, and for gravel
roads still sleeper pitch is demanded
AS for earth roads, the steepness
must be governed by the combined In
duence of number of factors. Per-
haps the leading factor IS the quality
Of the earth In each particular case.
And next might be placed the presence
or absence of "seepsr or "spouts,"
while another of these vital factors
would be the longitudinal pitch of the
highway.

During the last years of the fifteenth
century Leonardo ia Vinci executed
for the Duke of Milan his masterpiece
of painting, 1.-THE Last Supper" a wall
decoration in the refectory in the mon
astery of Santa Maria dele Grazie,
Milan. Owing chiefly to his use of
oil colors directly upon the wall, to
neglect and to vandalism, only a ruin
of the grand original remains. But,
while for purposes of study 1t is neces-
sary to refer to the many copies by
Da Vinci's pupils, the best of which
are those by Marco d'Oggiono, In st.
Petersburg and in the Royal academy,
London, and to Raffaello Morghen's
excellent print, the original alone gives
the true though faint idea OF the
wonderful lighting and melting color.
The painting was in every respect
epoch making, no less in pictorial
qualities than in the remarkable com
position

A Christmas Verse.

THRISTMAS Is in the numbering

lane,
The heart OF Christmas beats once more
on mountain, hill and plain.
Wherever loves aOhtte morning shines
the ancient spirit todkes,
And over all the lCedry l0orld the gold
en- aoonder breaks.
Within a 1oidoto's lonely heart saao
its glory fame
Upon young child's laughing lips its
Jubildte came,
And one 1OEo had been blind a1tth grief
looked up and sdto the light
As one looks up aohen The calm moon
sails doton the veIUet night.
For Christmas, like the moonlight,
spread her rapture everywhere;
she luas like heduen overhead, like the
clean crystal air.
We drank her spirit and her heart, ace
bredthed her Uery soul,
For up and dozen the aoorld she aoent,

NEW SERIAL FILM AT AMAZON
Helen Holmes, Star of "The Railroad
Raiders'-Appears Friday Night.

Helen Holmes, "Darling of the
Rail-" as she is called among rail-
way men, has looked death in the
face two hundred and one times by
actual count, and it is doubtful
whether any woman caught in the
war devastated district of northern
France encountered more risks than
Miss Holmes did in the last year.
This daring youngster of adventure
nhotodrama has been ditched with
hundred and twenty ton Mogul en-
pine. hurled over a cliff in an auto
mobile; splashed into fifty feet OF
water; tossed from the fourth story
of a burning building into a net;
tied to the driving rods of a loco
motive running at top speed; buried
under debris by premature expio-
sion of dynamite; thrown from the
roof of a freight car into a river,
and pinned under the .wreckage of
motor car after a head on collision
so that it required half dozen
machinists to dig her out.
Yet Miss Holmes hasn't a scratch
to show for all her wild escapades
and in the new Signal-Mutual fifteen
chapter photo-novel, "The Railroad
Raiders" she is again counting in
jury or death dozen times day,
because "The Railroad Raiders" is
a drama of adventure made up of
innumerable hair-raising episodes in
which rushing express trains, flying
switches, dynamited mail cars and
what not, succeed one another with
startling rapidly.
In and out amid the dizzy mazes
of the plot with its torchlit switch
yards. snorting engines and desper-
ate as.iding gangs, Helen Holmes
progresses by a series of amazing
maneuvers any one of which. might
cost her life.
She jumps from one fast moving
express train to another, climbs into
an engine cab over the pilot, while
the speed is forty miles an hour;
runs along the roof of a rocking
freight train and vanishes through
an endgate with the agility of a pro
fessional hobo.
In fact Miss Holmes in her latest
production gives the most extraor-
binary exhibition of graceful aero
battles ever seen on the screen.
The first chapter of "The Railroad
Raiders" will be shown at the ANA
zon Friday night, December 9TH. Also

Early varieties and sweet apples are
not well adapted to drying. Winter
apples should be used for this purpose.
(a) Peel, core, trim and slice one
fourth inch thick. Dip In weak salt
solution containing eight teaspoonfuls
of salt to one gallon of water. Spread
on trays and dry. 1t is only necessary
to dry apples long enough for them to
become tough and somewhat leathery.
(b) Pare, core and cut into eighths,
or core and slice in rings, using fruit
or vegetable slicer AS apples discolor
quickly. do not let them stand long
before drying. To prevent discolora-
ton as the fruit is prepared it may be
dipped for one minute in a cold salt
bath, using one ounce of salt to one
gallon Of water. Remove surplus
moisture and dry at 40 degrees to
$50 degrees f., raising temperature
gradually. Dry from four to six hours
and longer if necessary.
Pears are dried in the same way as
apples. They may be steamed ten min
utes before drying.
Treat ounces the same way as pears.
Peaches.
Peaches usually are dried unpeeled,
but they will be better if peeled before
drying.
(a) Remove the stones. cut the fruit
into halves. or preferably into smaller
pieces, and spread on trays to dry
(b) Cut in halves. pit. lay in trays
pit side up and dry at same tempera-
ture and for same length of time as
apples.
