COL. RECORD Dimes HIS
FRIENDS IN CAMPAIGN
AT HOTEL BREv00RT

At the Hotel Brevoort, Fifth avenue,
New York, last night George L.
Record, who ran for the Republican
United States senatorial nomination
in New Jersey this fall, entertained at
dinner the candidates who ran for the
Republican legislative nominations in
various counties in New Jersey on the
Record platform and who supported
his candidacy.
Assemblyman o. Bell Close of Essex
county acted as POSTMASTER. While
there were no set speeches, there was
a full and very interesting interchange
of opinion as to the political situation
in the state and in the country at
large and as to the plans for the flu
ture.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
events in the near future will make it
perfectly clear that the program upon
which Mr.. Record has for years waged
his campaigns must be adopted If the
country is to solve the big problems
of the day in rational way and if the
nation is to be saved from the control
of the extremists. The program in
cludes government ownership of rail-
roads and government ownership OF
such natural resources as coal lands,
oil fields, etc.
During the evening fitting tributes
were paid to former Assemblyman Roy
M. Robinson of Bergen, who died last
summer, and to ]. Wadsworth Baldwin
of Essex, who was volunteer in the
United States army and who died in
France recently.
The guests enjoyed the novelty of
being dined by Mr.. Record after the
ballots had decided against him and
gave up the evening largely to remi-
niscences of the tent campaign.
Among those present were John II.
Cook of Monmouth, former Assembly
man James G. Blauvelt, Col. John III.
Adamson, former Assemblyman Henry
Morelli, Colin r. Wise and former AS
semblyman Josiah Dadley of Passaic,
County Tax Commissioner Herbert M.
Bailey, Charles ]. Leeger, Alfred
Gramlich and John B. Van Note of
Bergen, ]. E. Van Dyke of Essex coun-
ty and former Assemblyman Theodore
L. Bierck, former Judge Frank J. Hig-
gins and Director of Education Will
liam J. Dwyer of Hudson.

FOUR MINUTE men
DISBAND DEC. "a, TO
Be MADE PERMANENT

County Chairman j. w. Binder OF
the Four Minute Men of America has
received telegram from the Com
mittee on Public Information notify
ing him that the work of the -Four
Minute Men will conclude on Christ
mas eve, and that the organization will
be disbanded
The following campaigns remain to
be carried out prior to the members
of the organization being officially
mustered out"
December T. RED Cross Home
Service"
December s to What Have We
Won?"
December is to %. RED Cross
Christmas Roll Call
December 24.-"Closing Tributes"
Chairman Herman Vanderwart, who
was elected to head the Hackensack
branch beginning December 1, will
conduct these campaigns in his terri
tory, which includes Bogota, haywood
River Edge and Oradell.
sWhile it is true that the -Four Min
ute Men as a government organization
will disband on December a." said
County Chairman Binder, "there is ne
intention on the part of those who
have been responsible for the splendid
work done in New Jersey to allow the
organization to be disrupted.
ALREADY, without exception, the
county leaders have incorporated un
der the name Minute Men Of New Jer
sey. A canvass is being made of the
membership in the state-numbering
nearly thousand men-and almost
to man this membership will be en-
rolled in the new organization. The
charter of the Minute Men of New Jer
sey provides that they will be kept out
of politics; religious and sectariar
questions will be tabooed. Their prin
cipal function will be to spread the
principles of pure Americanism to ev
cry part of society,""
Judging from assurances Of support
that have been received by State Di
rector Chaplin and those associated
with him, there is no doubt but that
the movement they have started will
meet with the approval Of all classes
The advisory and other committees OF
the new organization will be annOunc
ed shortly.

ST. JOHNS LYCEUM
CLUB NOTES

The special meeting of the st. Johns
Lyceum Club, held on Monday even
ing, proved to be very important one.
One of the main subjects was the cleo
ton of officers, these officers to hold
Office for the next six months. The
officers as elected are:
Rev. J. J. Bennett, who has become
a favorite among the members and
whose work has held the club together
and whose work has made the club
what it is today, was reelected spirit
ual adviser and treasurer; Frank
Favre was elected president; William
Kidlick, vice president; Leon Portz,
recording secretary; Edward J. Oster-
mann, financial secretary; Fred Gu
sick, corresponding secretary; Ed
ward J. Ostermann, publicity agent
and Frank Alvino, sergeant at arms. A
short and well made speech was given
by each, who assured the club that
they would perform the duties to the
best of their ability. These officers
are to take office at the next meeting
on Monday evening.
Mr.. Braunstetter, one of the trus-
tees of the st. Johns Lyceum club,
formed Glee Club on Monday, the
rehearsals to be held in the Lyceum
on Thursday evenings. Mr.. Braun
stetter has shown and proven his abil-
ity as a singing leader by the wonder
full progress that has been made by
the st. Johns Junior Choir, which is
under his direction. He also assured
that this Glee Club would be one Of
the best ever had in the surrounding
boroughs, and everyone in the club has
enrolled, this being a big advantage
in their lives.
The Committee on the Barn Dance
gave good report, and the dance will
be held the third week in January, the
exact date has not as yet been pub
lished. AS this Is to be the Second
Annual Barn Dance of the st. Johns

sured that this will far SurpasS the
HrSC one, TOT Inefe are many surprises
in store for those that attend

0. .E.S. GRAND CHAPTER.

The coming session of the
Grand Chapter of the Order OF
Eastern Stars Of the State of Lou.
isIana Will be held IN this city, be.
ginning on May 9th. The ladies
have been preparing for that com.
ing event and if aught prevents
their successfully engineering one
of the best conventions ever in the
history of the order, it will be q
deep disappointment to every one.
1t is unfortunate indeed that
the world should be involved in
one of the greatest wars OF all
times when we are TO have the
randChapter with us,for the state
convention this year. Those who
planned the annual sessions OF the
order could not be held blameable
for present world history making
events. These events began shap
ing themselves entirely independ
ent of the O. II. s. and we pre-
sume will have to pursue their
courses to the end independently.
The world war will undonbtedl
exert great influence upon the
session TO be held here. 1t has al
ready east lts shadow across ev
cry feature of the session which
had been planned for the pleasure
of the delegates. Nothing but
the atolid business features of the
convention could be seriously con
templated for this year, when our
defenders Of liberty and freedom
are denied 30 much Of comfort and
the necessities of life. 1t ia hard
ly time for planning seasons Of
pleasure and merry making.
1t ia a part of the mission of the
Order Of the Eastern Star for it's
members to assist in tightening
the burdens of it's fellow. asso
ciates. The doing of this work
gives sense of well founded
pleasure free of the frivolities of
life. The delegates coming from
every section of the state az they
do, certainly must be identified
with the uplift work of their
home communities The prime
feature of such q convocation as
this is to make proper and prompt
provision for such legislation al
the annual sessions of its Grand
Chapter as will guarantee it's per
petuity and the accomplishment OF
the greatest amount of good
among the ever increasing number
of it's members.

sold at unprecedented prices; and
the manufacturers have paid top notch

crops
It is but natural that the farmer,
contented with life, should have no
thought of the dangers surrounding
him.
"Why should this war worry me?'
