Home Defense
Must Volunteer To
Get Their Uniforms

Visions of having the members of
the local Home Defense Leagues sup
piled with guns and other parapher-
MALTA by the Government received a
serious setback through letter from
an official received at Fairview, and
which was read at Wednesday nights
meeting of the Borough Council. Ac-
cording to the communication, the
Home Leaguers will not be equipped
unless they volunteer for State serv-
ice under regular army regulations.
The members of the league would
have to stand ready to do duty at
anytime or place under these condi-
tions, for which they would receive
regular army pay. The matter will
be placed before the members at
their next meeting to determine how
many will be willing to serve.
The officials of Cliffside Park came
in for slam for their action in
connecting up with the Kemana
street sewer without first getting per-
mission. The matter was brought
before the meeting by Councilman
O'Connor whose resolution that Cliff
side disconnect at once, passed uani-
mously. The matter of making a
sewer connection at this point has
been before both boards for many
months, but a satisfactory agree
ment was never reached. Cliffside
was evidently trying to hurry mat
tiers along, according to the council
men, without asking the "other fell
low" and the Fairview officials con-
slider their action a little less than
braZen.
Immediate action is to be taken to
compel the two cemeteries in the Dor
ough to furnish bond sufficient to
pay taxes until their case has been
finally settled by the court of Errors
and Appeals to which they have
taken the decision recently returned
against them for taxes. If the bond
is not forthcoming, the borough will
then take action to restrain them
from doing business.
The clerk was instructed to notify
the William Penn Realty Company
that unless they lay sidewalks on
their Anderson avenue property
within thirty days the borough will
do the work and assess it's cost
against the property.

DeVoe Predicts A
Snow Storm 3 Miles
High August First

1t was considered a strange thing
during the record heat wave that
nothing was heard from Weather
Prophet DeVoe on the situation. 1t
was thought he was peeved because
"Old Sol" had put one over on him
without an advance tip, so the writer
called up the Paramount observatory
on the phone Wednesday morning to
console the prognosticator. There
was no response.
81 think l heard him say on Mon
day he was going to take trip to
the North Pole to see how the Es-
quimaux pack their summers supply
of ice," remarked neighbor who
likes to jolly the forecaster.
At 1920 a. m. Wednesday DeVoe
called us up on the phone and volun-
teered this information.
"a snow storm is forming three
miles above us and we will feel the
effect of it by noon time. There will
be thunder showers this afternoon
and the hot wave will cease"
At exactly 10.45 there was stir
in the trees west of the Evening
Record office and a cooling breeze
waited through the windows.
Truly DEVICES prediction had come
true-that is, for the time being
Hackensack Record.
The Hilltop Section felt the full
force of the heat wave, and Wednes-
day night few people got any sleep.
Old Mr.. DEVICES prediction that the
hot wave would cease after Wednes-
days thunder storm did not come
true as guess. Thursday was
nearly as hot as Wednesday. 1t got
cooler Thursday night, however,

American Efficiency.

Germany efficiency has been held
tainable by a Democracy. The ac-
complishments of the United States
since April 9Th last refute the truth
of the claim. In the short space of
time since that day the United States
has accomplished the following:
Declared a state of war as exist
ing between this country and Ger
many; 3
Seized 81 German ships and begun
repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously war
fund of $7,000,000,C
Appropriated $600,000,000 for mer-
chant shipping and as much for air
fleets;
Agreed to loan our Allies $780,
100000 and advanced them a large
proportion of that sum;
Passed selective draft law and in
a single day registered nearly ten
million men for military service;
Enlisted 100000 volunteer soldiers
in the Regular Army and in the Ma
tional Guard of the States;
Sent Commission to Russia to aid
Democracy and body of railroad
men to Russo and another to France
to advise and assist in railroad trans
portation in those countries;
Begun the construction of 80 camps
for our soldiers;
Sent to England fleet of destroy
ers and to France a detachment of
troops;
Authorized and now enforcing en-
barge whereby our enemies will re-
ceive no more food or material from
us;
Passed food conservation law;
Organized many voluntary COM
missions and boards who are aiding
the speeding up of work, conserva-
ton of food, and other national
movements;
Drafted by lot $4,000 men for
military service;
While the Government was accom-
plishing these things the American
people have loaned the United States
$2,000,000,000 and offered $1,000
100000 more, over four million citi-
zens subscribing to the loan
In addition they have given over
$100,000,000 to the American Red
Cross and $3,O00,00O to the Young
Mems Christian Association.
All these things were accomplished

TRANSATLANTIC PLANTS

When transplanting plants, shrubs,
trees, flowers and so on, dig a hole
much deeper than needed; fill this
hole with water, allowing it to sink
away three times, reflling it each
time. The fourth time it sinks away
you will have enough moisture at the
root of your plant to last many days.
1t does for it what no amount of sur
face WRITINGS could ever do. So fill
the hole up to the proper depth with
dry earth, set your plant in and draw
the dry dirt around it nicely.

PRETTY SPOT IN WEST INDIES

Port Castries is the principal city
of st. Lucia, which has been called
the most French of the British West
Indies. 1t lies on a very perfect little
harbor and furnishes Great Britain
with splendid naval base. The city
itself is not particularly attractive,
but the hills, checked with tropical
foliage, rising behind, and the blue
waters tapping before lend it the
charm that is common to all the West
Indies.

Former Fireman Is
Refused Membership

Because of it's action in turning
down the application Of John Mar
row for membership, the Tiger Hose
Company, of Fairview, has gotten
itself into a mess that is quite liable
to land it into the courts.
Marrow has asked the members of
the council to look into the matter
and Councilman Fiske's recommends
ton that the company reconsider its
action was acted on favorably at
Wednesday nights council meeting.
Mr.. Marrow had letter before the
board stating his case. In it he said
that the was member of the COM
pany in 1912 and that when he moved
to New York it was necessary for
him to resign. He left the company
in good standing and on his removal
to the borough sought to be rein
to his statement the Investigating
committee" Of the company recon.
mended him as member and he is
unable to understand why he should
be refused admittance after such
action.
Mr.. Marrow says he will carry tn.
case into the courts if need be to
make the members of the company
show their hand. Much interest is
being manifested in the affair owing
to the fact that the borough officials
have never been asked to interior in
similar case. And their is every
reason to believe that the town
fathers would not have taken hand
in this affair only for the excellent
reputation that Mr.. Marrow enjoys
and too the fact that he is a former
member of the company.

Fish Culture Long Practiced

The practical propagation of food
and game fishes by artificial means is
now conceded to be not only success
but one of the greatest triumphs of
science. Fish culture is an old sci
ence; it goes back to an early date
in the history of China, and it's origin
is lost in antiquity. In 1863 Stephen
L. jacob, a Prussian soldier, devised
a process of stripping the female fish
of her spawn and then mixing it with
the milt of the male. This simple
method is still in use at all fish-hatch-
ing establishments.

For Solution of the Conundrum Read
the Following Terse Interviews.
Andrew Carnegie, who since his re-
tirement from active life has devoted
himself to the study Of human rela-
lions, was recently asked which he
considered the most important factor
in industry-labor, capital or brains?
The canny Scot replied, with merry
twinkle in his eye:
(which is the most important leg Of
three legged. stool?"
For all the factors in industry there
is tabloid sermon in the steel mans
terse reply, sermon which brings
home more effectively than any lengthy
discussion could possibly do, the inter-
dependence of employers and en-
ployees and the necessity for their
working together with the public to
protect the prosperity of industry.
But Mr.. Carnegie Is only one of the
many authorities VINO have laid stress
upon this theme. Judge Ebert Fl.
Gary, chairman of the board of direc-
tors Of the United States Steel corpora
ton and president of the American
Iron and Steel institute, recently ex.
pressed the same idea from another
! ewpoint-namely, the value of loyal
ty in employees and the necessity for
cultivating this loyalty.
ut is WE'LL" said Judge Gary. "for
the large number Of employers to bear
in mind that they cannot successfully
carry on their affairs without having
the labor and loyalty of their eni-
ployees. The work of multitudes will
always be needed for the successful
operation Of business, but it is clear
that the skilled laborer or the highly
educated or experienced employees
would not without abundant capital
accomplish pronounced success. "-In-
dustrial Conservation, Neao York.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS:

There may be other hard ways of
earning money, but marrying it
takes first place.
Some men are so busy scraping the
snow shovel in summer that they
haven't time to NOW the lawn. And
they are so busy sharpening the lawn
mower in the winter that they haven't
time to shovel the snow.

BABY WAS DEVELOPING

Johnny was small boy of about
five years, and he had a baby sister
who was just learning to walk. One
day Johnny saw his little sister stand
alone and take a few steps for the
first time. Johnny ran hurriedly to
his mother and said, "Oh, mamma,
come here quick! Baby's walkin' on
her hind legs"
