Busy Contractor Says
Business Is Better

Not merely being satisfied with re-
porting business as usual" Mr..
Charles Richards, the builder and
contractor is pleased to acknowledge
that business is better than usual"
The war scare and rising cost of
materials is not stopping the activi-
ties of this progressive man, who has
a long string of building operations
under way and will start construc-
ton on many more within the fort
night.
He is now building two houses on
Warren avenue, both of one-family
structures and also erecting store
and dwelling on Cliff street. This
latter job required considerable ex-
cavation of hard rock, but in spite of
this obstacle Mr.. Richard will deliver
the building on his contracted time.
He also is personally experimenting
the work going on at Oakdene ave-
nue. and Palisade avenue A hand
some stone fence erected and the de-
molition of the old fiat roof house
and the laying out of tennis courts
for Mr.. R. Kendo is being done in
record time. Other operations in
other parts of east Bergen help to
round out busy days for Mr.. Richards.

Eairuiew Man Enters
Country's Honor Roll

Robert Robinson, an eighteen year
old boy, Of Fairview, has the honor
of being the first young man in east
ern Bergen county to answer the call

Young Robinson, who is the son of
David Robinson, of Bleachery road,
Fairview, and native of Scotland,
will leave to-day for Canada where
he will join the troop to which he was
assigned at the time he registered, a
few days ago. The young man
passed the physical examination for
the service at 100 per cent and was
pronounced a perfect specimen of a
man.
The youngster was given a fare
we'll reception by his many friends.
Police detective Martin Murphy,
of Edgewater, has been called to the

No Bread-Lines Ahead
By Herbert Kaufman
By Herbert kaufman


needs alone will total billions of dol
lars in food and raiment and weapons.
The hugest sum of money that ever
poured from this country's Treasury
is about to flood the United States.
There will be work for everybody,
and everybody must work. The
heaviest responsibility of the great
est war in history is now on our
hands.
We must not only support the
cause we have espoused, but also sup
port our confederates with their ne
cessities.
Get busy and keep busy. Hire new
help, enlarge your plant, order ma
chinery at once.
Hesitation, delay and pessimism
serve our enemies.
This is no time to retrench or
hoard. This is no moment to reduce
operations.
The Government isn't counting ex-
pense, but minutes, and it's plans will
be hampered by every doubter and
coward and penny pincher.
Consumption will not diminish.
Uncle Sam is in the market for more
goods than the members of the new
army and navy individually purchased
and their sons and daughters and
wives will soon be holding down their
old jobs and collecting their mems
wages, which will in turn be spent at
the grocer's the department store and
the druggists.
Patriotism is flooding Washington
with ready cash and Washington is
shipping it in carload lots to the man
ufacturer and retailer. There are ns
bread-lines ahead. An unprecendent
ed era of prosperity is around the
bend.
However sad the price, the bust
ness outlook was never better

Storm On Palisades
Does Damage By
Rain And Lightning

One of the heaviest rains that ever
fell hereabouts came up about two
p. m. Thursday and lasted until after
five o'clock. For over three hours the
downpour was terrific, torrential,
tropical. There were three storms,
in fact, succeeding each other in
rapid succession. Blue sky appeared
between the first and second, then it
tuned up again in about minute and
poured in bucketsful. In Palisade,
Grantwood and all the Hilltop sec
ton it was a trash-mover.
There was some little damage
from lightning. The power house at
Palisade Junction was put out of
business by bolt, and there were no
lights again until p. m.
Over by the Darby home a big
tree was struck and splenters of it
flew for hundreds of feet around.

War is bad business, but don't you
ever make the mistake of thinking
that war means bad business.
Mars has lately become the fore
most employer of labor and the lead
ing customer of commerce.
1t takes dozen farmers, me-
chanics, trainmen, butchers, bakers,
tailors and shoemakers to maintain
a soldier.
We can't put million men under
arms without putting at least twelve
million other men under the elght-
hour clock.
We must build cruisers, cats can
non, produce rifles, tin meant, raise
food, weave khaki, pack surgical kits,
cobble footwear, construct motor cars,
extend transportation, Manufacture
uniforms, knit socks erect forts, roll
armor plate, draw wire, mine metal
,and fuel, mix explosives, process
chemicals, provide spades, picks and
tractors, furnish ammunition, air
ships, electrical equipment in such
quantities that existing capacities
will stagger under the sudden burden.
Every trade and every branch OF
trade, from Bangor to Bellingham and
from cannery to foundry, will soon be
modified for the colossal task OF
Transforming an industrial giant into
a Titan warrior.
Within few months we must ac-
complish what Germany required
thirty years to do.
Think of it! More than a quarter
of century of preparation to be
crowded into less than year!
Factories must work day and night
shifts, railroads will operate extra
trains, produce will ride to port from
every arabic acre on the Continent.
We have become the armory and
the bread-box of our allies, and we
have called host to the colors whose

Three Mothers.

Three mothers by your cradle stand !;
One mother who has given birth,
And one of them is Motherland,
And one of them is Mother Earth;
Three mothers must you have in all,
And two are great and one is small.
Your Motherland is strong and dread;
Her shield your sure protection
makes;
She spreads her law above your head,
But even while she gives she takes.
Her arm is strong, her word is true,
But she may ask your life of you.
From Mother Earth by toll you wiring
Or feast or crust at her caprice,
The shelter for your journeying,
Though brief at best will be the
lease,
And at the end she gives you bed,
But cares not where your soul has
sped.
The Mother who has borne your flesh
Through good or i'll will hold you
fast,
Will guide you through the worlds
dark mesh.
And so will save your soul at last,
Three mothers shall you have in all,
And one is great and two are small
-McLandh Ugh Wilson, in the
Youths Companion.

Chile and Peru Neutral, But Favor
Fan-American Unity.

Ambassador Aldunate of Chile has
communicated. informally. to Secretary
Lansing an Interpretation of Chile's at
titude toward the United States in the
