Wasted Nitrogen

Colonel Roosevelt, in wartime, is
an angel that rushes in where fools
fear to tread. No one ever accused
him of being Stacker" Don't re-
verse this in peace-time. We as a
community, have much to learn in
saving waste. The great need Of the
present time, as well as of the future,
is fertilizer, or plant food. This is
only another name for nitrogen in
such form that it may be applied to
land for plant assimilation.
We send to Chill for nitrates, while
millions of tons of nitrates in the
best form for plant food are being
carried down the Hudson river and
out into the ocean.
The pollution of the river is men,
ace to the health of the community.
Oysters and fish caught in polluted
waters threaten with disease every
one unfortunate enough to eat
them The time has now arrived
that this problem should be taken up
and studied, not by scientists alone,
but by the average citizen; for, un-
less our politicians are pushed along
by public opinion they will never
raise finger to protect the public
interests.

Farm Vacant Lots

Vacant lots mean vacant pockets
all round. 1t is only vacant minds
that are Indifferent to their existence
The vacant lot is more deadly men,
ace to US than scheming Kaiser
Extend this principle to vacant fields
and the menace becomes so much the
greater. The Borough Of Fort Lee
will soon have lot Of land, that is
not being used by the owners, placed
at it's disposal so that everyone can
have a garden free for one year,
Now, patriots all, you can do some
thing to benefit the world, by under
taking to cultivate one of these lots
Think of getting your winters sup
ply of vegetables or a large part Of
it for the mere trouble of turning
over the soil, planting the seed and
then watering, as necessary; all for
the mere trouble of doing it by your
own labor in spare time.

Sunday Autoing Has
Lost Its Chief Charm,
Roadways Too Packed

The charm of the roadway for Sun
day autoing has lost its grip with
many owners of cars. AS one old
timer said this week:
"There is no joy in moseying along
behind a string of cars on good
road 1t wouldn't be so bad if they
were all going one way. l could soon
break around the line with no trouble.
But the difficulty is that once you get
little distance from home the line
is going both ways, and you have
to crawl for miles and miles and
don't get anywhere. Then, too, the
dust. You'd have to seal up in a
diving suit to keep it out. Its some
thing awful, especially when the ever
present few daring chaps come
along and speed past the bunch of
trailers at all hazards. Then come
the clouds! No, sir, the only pleasure
my car could give me now is to start
by sunrise and go somewhere, stay
there till five or six o'clock, then
come home in some peace-late and
hungry, but missing the long line.
It's the only way. But don't let this
out. They'd all be doing it, if you
did"

All Bull Billy Sunday
BY Orrin A. Breiby

All Bull, Bill Sunday (may his slang
Awoke one night from deep dream
of peace
And saw, by the radiance of the
moon,
Which shone and shimmered like a
diamond spoon,
A Banker writing on golden slate.
(Exceeding store had Bill of platin-
UNI plate)
And to the Banker in the tabernacle
he said:
"You simp, what's your game?" The
Banker turned his head,
And with look of all innocence
Replied, II write the name of Bill
lionaires."
"Slap my handle down as one"--
''Not if our bank doth know
Itself" replied the Banker. Bill
said, "Slush!"
And "Gush!" and spoke again, "Just
wait until l hit New York
And make the sinful rich NUTS to
fork
Over their dough to me-"
The Banker up and vanished! The
next year
He came again and showed without
a tear
The names of Billionaires who passed
the test,
Of raking in easy money
And Lo! Bill Sundays name led all
the rest.
[Note-Billy Sunday, according te
the New York World, is doing great
work unselfshly. In series OF
short interviews with the leading
thinkers of the big city, his motives
appear to be clean and based on high
Christian zeal and marvellous ability

Sanitation

For THE PALIsADIAN:
| suggest that each man in this
community undertake the part of a
sanitary policeman for all territory
within a reasonable distance of his
home. To illustrate: This afternoon
while filling in" pools of standing
water, l discovered a dead dog and
cat on the border of a sluggish
stream. When burying these animals
l found them swarming with fly
larvae. The medium that the fly
revels in, both in the larvae and adult
state, is one that is offensive to man
/ won't say this place is Uttered with
unburied dead animals, but vigilance
in the detection of unsanitary condi-
tions of every description is the duty
of all good citizens. Let me warn
those who kill animals and leave
them unburied that they may thereby
cause the death of Somebody's darl-
ing" perchance their own darling
The common practice OF killing
snakes and, leaving them unburied is
one which deserves severe condemna-
ton. Many good people do this
through force of habit, without think
ing of the fly menace. Besides, the
snakes are usually of harmless
variety and ought not to be killed.
Many snakes are killed by cats. An
efficient sanitary police" force is
needed for a systematic search for
unsanitary conditions Of all kinds and
for the remedying of same. Its cup
to you," Mr. Citizen.
The Borough of Cliffside Park has
furnished "sprayers" and oil to a
volunteer force who will spray the
pools of standing water in the bor-
ough. A map has been made of all
the pools of standing water, and
under the leadership of the Woman's
Club, it is expected that some good
anti-mosquito work will be done. The
work really should have been COM
menced two weeks ago, as / found
mosquito larvae on April %. The
Borough of Fort Lee will, no doubt
also make a campaign against the
mosquito. Interborough action is
essential to success.
In conclusion let me say word ir
regard to the mosquito and disease
The mosquito, being supplied with
what is equivalent to hypodermit
syringe, is well equipped to convey
infection. 1t fills up on the blood o1
humans. What is more sensible
therefore, than to screen the sicl
child or adult from the mosquito, ir
order that the insect may not carry
disease germs, and infect some othel
person? Much is known about the
mosquito as a carrier of disease
there is also much that is unknown
Certain it is that this insect has {
good outfit to carry the germs
animal parasites, etc, which cause
other diseases than those which medi
cal men have demonstrated are car
ried by that insect.

He Knows What's
What, And Why

The distinguished gentleman who
presides over the political destinies
of this bailiwick is alleged to have
been in discussion recently with an
other party regarding the record of
a certain police officer. Asked why
he was not promoted to the upper
part of the borough, he is alleged, SO
the story runs, to have remarked that
"That man has one of the finest rec
ords made in this borough. Promote
him No, sir, he is already promoted
to the best post there is, and has
done we'll his duty. There isn't a
better man anywhere. He remains
where he is because of the manner of
those who wanted him removed"
Well, well, well! Right you are.
This is one time you knew all about
your business, old man, when you
made that hit. 1t was bulls eye.

Telephone Companies
Cooperate To Control
Our Forest Fires


State Firewarden G. P. Wilber an
nounces the publication of the 1917
list of frewardens, for the use of all
those who frequent the wooded areas
of the State and are therefore likely
to discover and wish to report forest
fires. The printed list gives the
name, address, and telephone con-
nection, if any, of each of the $50
local firewardens in the State.
To make it possible for automo-
bilsts and other transients, who may
not have one of these lists, to re-
port forest fires the telephone COM
panies Of New Jersey have made
provisions to handle all fire calls,
even though not directed to some par
ticular firewarden. By calling any
telephone exchange in the State, COW
ering territory in which frewardens
have been appointed, and asking to
report a forest fire, anyone will be
connected with a firewarden espe-
cially designated by the State to re-
ceive such reports and transmit them
to the warden of the district where
the fire is. Mr.. Wilbur states that
this cooperation on the part of the
telephone companies will greatly fa-
cilitate the reporting of forest fires.

The State Should organize the Ma

where one grew before, is benafac-

NONE grew before?

Wage War on Insects

AS community we must also see
that our land under cultivation is
really cultivated. We cannot allow
neighbors to breed potato bugs by
the million through neglect of their
gardens. We must all see that war
is waged effectively On insect pesss
in every part of the borough. We
have found out about the mosquito
evil We must also find out the dan
ger that comes to our crops from
our neighbor's negligences.

Percha, left the early part of the
week for El Paso to secure capital
to further develop these proper
ties,
Messrs. Burns and Stiles, Of Ell
Paso, mining men, visited this Sec
tion the early part OF the week
looking over the various mines in
this section, Comstock, Black Colt,
Southern Cross and Kangaroo on
Bullion Hill. They expect to re-
turn to this section again aud look
over other mines With the view of
leasing and bonding some Of these
properties.
Undoubtedly this section will
be more thoroughly investigated
this year than for many years past.
TIE inducements offered to those
who wish TO invest In mining are
very liberal and there is no doubt
but what deeper development will
be done on many OF these proper
ties, in order to place them on
paying basis, which will be done.
