Fairview Children
Cultivate Land And
Compete For Prizes

The local schools of Fairview are
very much alive to the appeal from
the State for greater home produc-
ton. Already there are some two
hundred home gardens under cultiva-
ton by the pupils as we'll as large
school garden opposite Lincoln school
on Anderson avenue. Mr.. Walker
very kindly consented to give the use
of this plot to the schools and al
ready large part of it is ready for
planting. The remainder of the plot
will be prepared for seed in a few
days.
Another matter of great interest
among the boys of the schools is the
bird house contest which is being
conducted by the Manual Training
department under the direction of Mr..
Grady. The purpose of this contest
is to stimulate greater interest in
bird life, protection of the bird life,
personal initiative and legitimate
outside school interests. Five splen-
did prizes have been offered for the
best houses, two first prizes, tive
second prizes and a prize for the boy
who gets the first occupant in his
house. The prizes consist of two
trophies, a baseball glove, jack
knife, and "a Brownie camera, all
of which will be on exhibition in
Doubles drug store in a few days.
During the first week of May these
houses will be exhibited and judges
appointed to award the prizes.

Police Officer
Beat Up Gangsters
And Makes Arrests

Three members of the "Rusty Knife
Gang" of Fairview, ran amuck of
the police of that town last Sunday
night and as a result two of the
gangs members, William Maloney,
% years old, of Third street, Fair
view, and Louis Alvina, % years old,
of the same address will spend the
next ninety days in the county jail,

It was shortly after midnight last
Sunday when the three men wandered
down Anderson avenue and stopped
at the corner of Bullsferry road. 1t
was evident the men had been drink

to insult passersby. When asked to
stop annoying people and move on
by Officer John Ridgway the men
recommended that the cop mind his
own business. A few more words
and the rusty" ones invited the cop
to arrest them.
eff you don't move on I'll move
you," ordered Ridgway.

"you just try it."
And Ridgway did. By the time the
battle cleared Ridgway's police uni

Another Robbery;
Mckinney Home
Entered Wed. Night

On Wednesday night, the home of
Miss McIlhinney, of Anderson ave-
nue., was entered sometime after ten
o'clock, and more than 500 in valu-
ables taken.
This particular thief made use of
the same tactics used by the Foeppel
thief. He went through the back
porch door, broke a window, opened
the lock that way, and then got into
the dining room and on through into
the main living room. This latter
room is shut off from the main hall
in front by large glass door, which
was broken, the glass falling all over
the floor.
The intruder then sneaked up stairs,
and with a false key entered the
room occupied by Mrs. Ludlow, who
is temporarily stopping with Miss
Mckinney, and took the most of her
jewelry, about $100 in all. The chap
got from Miss McIlhinney pair of
fine French opera glasses which she
priced very greatly on account of
their fine quality, and because she
had personally bought them in Paris
several years ago.
There is no clue to this robbery.
The police were notified, and came
down in a few minutes. Miss Nc
Andersons after she made the dis
covery, and 'phoned the police from
there.

Chief Of Police Finds
Stolen Auto Tires

Chief of Police Fred Naedler has
accomplished the seemingly impos-
sible in securing the return of the
stolen auto tires of W. Michaelson &
Son, proprietors of the Grantwood
Garage. A week ago Tuesday three
robbers jimmied two doors at the
garage and carried away thirty Fire
stone tires and sixty tubes in a Ford
car. The robbery was perpetrated
sometime between II p. m. Monday
and a. m. Tuesday The light rain
had destroyed the tire marks made
by the Ford and all evidence had been
lost. Without a single clue Council
man Naedler started work. The
usual report of the expected arrest
was received with the usual doubt,
but in this case it is backed by the
clear evidence of finding the tires.
The arrest Of the thieves is expected
any moment, perhaps as you read this
they are locked up in the Borough
Hall.
Needless to say Mr.. Michaelson is
happy to have some of the tires back
as he is now in a position to fill i'm
mediate orders and live up ito the
Firestone guarantee OF service salts
faction.

CONTRACTOR SEVERELY CENSORED.

Action may be taken at once to
abolish for all time the dangerous
nuisance maintained at the old red
quarry, on Palisade avenue. This
dangerous spot, which, for the past
six years or more, has been a thorn
in the side of the council boards for
as many terms, and with the sad
drowning of two tots at that place
last year, high hopes were held that
the pond would be filled up or drain
ed off. However, nothing has been
accomplished in this matter to date,
although great amount of time and
talk was given over to plans and pro-
posals at the last meeting of the
Cliffside council, held Monday night
at the Borough Hall.
Who Started 1t?
Just who started the rumpus on
this question is not known, but, in a
few minutes the council chamber and
many of the citizens present were en-
gagged in vigorous talkfest. Every
body seemed to have ideas and all
wanted their ideas carried out at
once. DR.. Hellstern, who was pres
ent, was the most active. He spoke
of this danger that had existed too
long and of the fact that while the
council always hashed over plans and
proposals every year, the hole was
now in just as dangerous a condi-
ton as ever. He advanced several
remedies, all of them good ones, and
DR.. Hellstern stated he was going to
keep up the fight until the matter
was settled.
To Dump Garbage
The frst proposal advanced to
Iabete this dangerous ni1isar i was 10
fill it up with garbage and ashes.
This aroused some discussion and
protest from Councilman Flood, who
pointed out the evil that would re-
suit. He was quickly overruled by
the statement that disenfectant
would solve that question.
To Pump it Out
Mayor Cadien advanced the idea
that the water be pumped out. Road
Commissioner Larkin quickly showed
that to pump the water from the
deep hole would be costly and would
quickly refill from hidden springs
and rain water drainage. The cost
of erecting a suitable fence was also
voted down as the cost would be too
prohibitive and the youngsters event.
ually would find some way to get over
tunnel and thus keep the water at
low and safe level, but advocated
the filling it up as this would also
do away with the deep hole.

Fairuiew Boro Hall
To Produce Income

Since the proposition of building a
new municipal building in Fairview
has gained a little prominence, the
local branch of the National Anti
Progressive League has gotten busy
with its hammer, but this time the
members of said league are putting
their woes before the people in rather
dim light, according to Mayor
Lyons.
The petition which is being circu-
lated with the hope of killing the
proposition is misleading, according
to one borough official. The cost of
the building will not run into five
figures as the petition says it will.
In speaking on the matter We'd
nesday evening, Mayor Lyons said the
building is not to cost more than
$500, which in no way will be a
burden on the taxpayers of the bor-
ough.
The sum of $500 of the cost is
to be taken from the cemetery &C.
count and the remaining $4,000 is to
be raised by bonds. The rental of the
building to various lodges will pay
off these bonds and it is only mat
ter of short time when the town
will have an income from the place
1t is proposed to house all the
borough offices, including the police
station and recorders court for
which the borough is now paying
rent. This saving alone will be a
tidy sum.
Mayor Lyons has made a canvas
of the town and says that he finds
the majority of the people are in
favor of the building which it is pro-
posed to erect at the corner of Grath
and Garfield streets, where the old
Grandview fire house is located.

Iwo Daring Robberies In Palisade,
Thief Walks Away With Safe;
Completely Ransack Another Home
Bold Burglars Go Through Pasade Homes Broad DAYLIGHT
And Get Away Unoested Neighbors See Man LeaUe Mr.
Foeppegs Home With Safe Audacity Proves a Bird
POLICE DEPARTMENT HELPLESS.

Two daylight robberies took place
in Palisade about p. m. Monday
last in the very heart of the village
Both were performed by house
breakers, and one of them was in the
sight of and actually witnessed by
neighbors.
Of course, there being no daytime
police, the job was easy, and prob
ably would have been pulled off even
if an alarm had been raised. The
mans GOODNESS was audacity I'M
limited.
The first house entered was that of
the w. D. Lemons, in Dearborn,
near Bluff road. The thieves entered
by the sun parlor, breaking a small
pane of glass near the lock to the
porch door. They then entered, and
going through door leading from
the main parlor were inside in a
jiffy. The strange part of this job
was that though the robbers tumbled
everything about in the house, opened
bureau drawers and made mess of
everything, they took no valuables
Of Importance, leaving several pieces
of solid silver, all marked.
Mr.. Hubbard Page, son of Mrs.
Lennon, has charge of the house, in
the absence of his mother and step
father, but as his business is in the
city, he had, of course, gone over as
usual. Mr.. and Mrs. James, of
Brooklyn, had spent Sunday night
as Mr.. Pages guests, but they, too,
had left with him. A travelling
satchel belonging to Mr.. Page, but
holding nothing of value, was carried
to the cellar and opened.
The thieves drove up in an auto
mobile, presumably d Ford, which
left the r. sck of 4 Stenl;nG tirR ar
cording to Arthur Grady, who recogl
nized the tread in the soft earth of
the street where the car was COM
pletely turned around in front Of the
house.
Foeppel Home Robbed
The burglars then entered the
Foeppel home, next house south in
Dearborn road They tried to get
into the house first by cellar win
dow, which one Of them entered.
But the door was locked leading to
the cellar, so the man came out Of
the window, brushed off his clothes
with his hands, according to a neigh
Dor, Mrs. Speyer, who saw him, then
went around to the front porch and
broke pane near a window latch

Quigley Home Has
Nouel Robbery Scare

Mr.. and Mrs. James Quigley were
considerably frightened on Friday
night of last week by the appearance
of a man in their home. They were
both in the kitchen when they heard
the front door open. Mrs. Quigley
thought it was her son William and
Immediately went out to let him know
she and his father were in the kitchen.
The man ran out of the door and
slammed it at once and disappeared.
Mrs. Quigley then 'phoned the "Pali-
sadian," and the police were made
acquainted with the facts and sent
man down to hunt for the intruder,
but of course he had fled.

First Candidate For
Mayor In Fairuiew

John Rene, former councilman, of
Fairview, who announced some time
ago that he would be a candidate for
the Office of Mayor at the fall cleo
tion opened his campaign last We'd
nesday.
Mr.. Rene has planned a whirl-
wind campaign and his many friends
predict his election, even at this
early date.
He already has received the en-
dorsement of the Plaza Boat Club, a
strong organization of the borough,
and it is generally believed that he
will be backed by every Democrat in
the borough.

Son Of Patrolman
Enhsts In Navy

William A. Kirchhoff, son of Patrol
man and Mrs. William Kirchhoff, of
Fairview, has joined the colors by
enlisting in the navy last Tuesday.
Although only seventeen years of
age, young Kirchhoff's courage and
determination to assist his country
in the present crisis was enough to
gain the full consent of his parents
in joining the colors.
It is believed the young man has
been sent to the Newport training
school.
The boys many friends were on
hand to wish him a fond farwell and
safe return.
