SENATOR EDWARDS
MAKING PERSONAL
CANVASS LIKE WILSON

Trenton, May 22.-State Senator and
former State Comptroller Edward l..
Edwards candidacy for the Democrat
ic nomination has reused the party
workers throughout the state as they
have not been stirred since the day in
1910 when Woodrow Wilson was their
standard bearer. Mr.. Edwards has al
ready been to many parts of the state
in his canvass, and in this connection
he seems TO have adopted a new style
of campaigning to this state. He will
suddenly drop into some small cOmmu-
nifty where IA meeting of few of the
Democratic voters has been called and
al way tell them why he is running for
the office of governor and discuss the
state problems facing its people for
solution.
1t is particularly apparent that he
intends to put the South Jersey Dem
ocratic organizations in proper fight
ing trim and is not alone combining his
activity to the northern end of the
state. He has already been in a num-
Der of the counties down that way and
is scheduled to address the Salem
county Democratic organizations this
week. The result of his activity has
been to fire the leaders and workers
with a new interest in party success
this fall.
At this writing the Democrats seem
to have more definite issues than their
opponents, such as an elective Public
Utility Commission. Edwards has pre-
scented this and several other engaging
propositions concerning the admins
tration of state affairs, and they are
all subjects having a popular interest
at this time. Congressman Thomas J..
Scully of the Third District, who is
also a candidate for the Democratic
nomination, may be handicapped in his
campaigning for some time to come by
reason of the fact that Congress has
been called into special session. To
date his platform seems to rest upon
his opposition to those in the party
who have been characterized as
BOSSES" Frank McDemmit of New
ark, who is the perennial candidate of
the Democratic party for either Unit
ed States senator or governor. has
again announced his intention to run
at the primaries for the nomination.

new YORK CHILDREN
FROM DIR, BEATTIE'S
CHURCH IN PALISADE

For the past five years large party
of children from the Third Avenue
Mission have been coming to Palisade
on one Saturday in May, when they
have been fed and entertained in the
basement of the church.
They came last Saturday, % in
number, accompanied by seven teach
erS and the faithful, much loved jani-
tor of the Madison Square Church
House, who has long been DIR. Beattie's
right hand man.
After walking leisurely up the Pail
sades they arrived at the church about
IL O'Clock, with every little hand
clutching wild flowers which they had
gathered on the way.
They deposited their coats and hats
up in the auditorium and descended
the stairs into the basement, where
tables were laden with good things for
their benefit, chicken soup, sandwich
es, milk, ice cream and cake disap-
pearing in amazing quantities.
Each child was permitted as many
portions as he or she could master,
refilled again and again.
The response to requests for dona-
tons had been so generous that there
was at no time a possibility of short
age.
Mr.. Glandorf had provided the ice
cream at a reduction, the Keystone
Dairy Company donated % quarts of
milk, and in addition to the money
donated for all expenses the sum of
$40 was contributed to be given to
Miss Haines, who is in charge during
DIR. Beattie's absence, for their Fresh
Air Fund.
While the children were scattered
through the woods after luncheon the
threatening storm hurried them back
to the church, where they gathered in
the auditorium and were entertained
with songs and stories until o'clock,
when they started on the return trip
1t is impossible to express the pleas
ure and appreciation of children and
teachers over these annual outings in
Palsade
Mr.. Philips Mr.. Goodman, Mr.. Sib-
ley and Mr.. Valentine were prepared
to give the youngsters joy rides, but
the weather compelled postpone
ment of this feature until next wear.
A long letter from DR.. Beattie had
reached the church house that morn
ing, and Miss Haines brought il with
her so that his friends here could
share it.

LIEUT.. PAUL BERkEY,
HOME, Tells HOW IT
FEELS TO Be OUT OF WAR

First Lieutenant Paul Berkey, just
returned from overseas, has been
spending a few days in Palisade with
his family. He got home last week
late and at once got ten days fur
Tough. Lieutenant Berkey was one of
the earliest to enlist from Palisade
and going to Camp Meyer, at Wash
ington, was fortunate to secure a COM
mission as second lieutenant. He got
an assignment in the field artillery, in
which he served for over a year, doing
most valiant service, and had the hap
piness of a further advancement in his
commission to the rank of first lieu
tenant. Lieutenant Berkey saw active
service in the First Army line and
went through the ST. Mihiel and Ar
gonne drives. He was most fortunate
in getting through without a scratch,
though he was twice slightly gaSsed,
but not seriously enough to amount to
anything He had very little sickness,
another piece of good fortune, and
came home looking fit, though some
what light in weight from the averdu-
poise he put on in France. He thinks
the rations had something to do with
his taking on weight and says that the
boys generally felt better from the
none too lavish rations. Asked how he
felt about the war, Lieutenant Berkey
said:
1.-The war ended as it should. Ger
many never had show after the
American power began to get started
and when it did start it was simply
overwhelming. Personally, was star
tied at the great size and sweep of
Americas part in the war. 1t was the
greatest thing Christendom ever saw
or ever will see. SO far as my own
views go, went out to fight the Ger
mans with every ounce of my strength
But I will say that after we got into
the ArgOnne / really never expected to
come out alive. l was not alone. Most
of the men in my company felt the
same way. We went in in October,
and along about November 3, believe
it was, my own company had rest
from the drive and was resting when
the armiStice came. We could not be-
lieve it at first. To think that there
we were alive, with chance to get
home again when few of us never look
ed to see America again. 1t was great
experience We were simply amazed
I can scarcely believe it yet. Yes, a
man can never forget the experience
of this war. 1t was more terrible than
any of it's predecessors and more nerve
racking than anything that could be
conceived. No man going through a
year in France and being in the actual
fighting for any length of time will
ever get over it, 1t will leave it's mark
on any and all. l feel that way about
it,
Palisade looks natural, Lieutenant
Berkey said, but he found difficulty in
recognizing some people. They looked
strange to him, and he said he could
not describe just how it felt to be
home again. He hopes to be discharg
ed before many days now. He thinks
he will finish at Columbia University
and secure his degree.

ELOQUENT SERMON
IN PALISkDE CHURCH
BY REV. H.P. GUHSE

The Palisade Church rang last Sun
day with a form of pulpit eloquence
seldom heard in this neighborhood.
The minister, Rev. Guhse, was not only
at his best, but far and away ahead of
anything he has yet essayed since he
came here, less than four months ago.
He chose an odd subject, "Only a
Ghost of a Chance" and had most peo-
pie guessing as to how he would han
die such topic. He did not leave any
opening for conjecture once he got
into his stride, and there were times,
several Of them, when his eloquence
was enthralling. He has set out upon
the task of trying to do something
worth while for Palisade, and is just
getting an angle on the size of the
job Several things have interested
him, among them the building of a
community center, and it was on this
part of his theme that he dwelt on in
such forceful style.
The application of the text, Bring
me up Samuel" from l Samuel %,
was in reference to the appeal of Saul,
Tic tHCHy VI WITCH IiC ttShOu
a soothsayer or witch, or fortune tell
er, to "bring me up Samuel" at which
he did not have "the ghost of a
chance" Hence the subject of effort
after the unattainable.
The needs of Palisade, the minister
said, were not more than normal for a
village of it's size, yet he had never
seen any place where there was so
little done for the general community
interest. Dwelling on the matter of a
place for the t0wnspeople to meet in
social gatherings, where there may be
displayed the proper spirit, where we
may have a gymnasium for the young
people and for older people as well,
where we may have movies of our
own, where we may have dancing of
our own and with our own, where we
may have home amuSements of every
character, where we may produce our
own plays on our own stage, where
there may be public baths, shower and
swimming; where there may be had all
of the most modern equipment for a
civic center that would be in keeping
with the high aims and aspirations of
Palisade-in touching upon all these
things Mr.. Guhse was filed with all of
the strength of his purpose that could
be put into the most eloquent Ian
guage. He has given the thing the
most intimate thought, and he feels
that Palisade is going to stand by
her own interests and do this thing
that is so essential to her general bet
terment and future happiness. AS an
appeal for the uplift of the community
seldom has anyone heard more
straightforward, manly appeal for
something that represents the best
thought, the truest purpose the high
est aims. AS Mr.. G. /. Phillips said,
at was the finest sermon ever heard,
and I have heard the biggest men in
the country"

A. c. JONES PROMINENT !"
LOCAL RAILROAD man
Died LAST NIGHT

The many friends Of Mr.. A. G.
Jones were shocked to learn of his
death, which occurred last night at
his apartments at the home of DR..
Sarah Wheeler, his illness having
only been matter of few hours.
Mr.. Jones, who was foreman of the
car department of the A. G. L. shops
at this point, complained Of a pain
in the back Of his neck and head yes
terday afternoon, and left for his
home about 4 o'clock. He steadily
grew worse and sustaining a hemor-
rhage later, he passed away at 1920
p. m. Every effort that medical
science could suggest was exerted to
save this splendid man, but all in
vain.
Mr.. Jones was a Virginian, and
came here seven years ago, since
which time he had been connected
with the A. G. L. shops, his position
being only once removed from that
Of the superintendent. He enjoyed
the highest esteem of the railroad
employees and large circle OF
friends, all of whom are bowed in
deepest sorrow at his untimely pass
ing. He leaves a devoted wife' to
mourn his loss, and she has the deep
est sympathy of many friends in her
great bereavement.
Mr.. Jones was member OF the
First Baptist church and the funeral
services will be conducted by Rev.
Entzminger at the chapel Of the
Gentry Undertaking Co. at 1880 p. m
tomorrow afternoon. The body will
be shipped to Richmond, Va, to-
morrow night, accompanied by the
bereaved wife and brother of the
deceased, who is expected to reacf
the city tomorrow night.

Low CAR INSURANCE

The Florida State Automobile In
surance Company, incorporated un-
der the laws of Florida, is now doing
business, it's headquarters being in
Orlando. The officers of the company
are practically the same officers as
those of the State Automobile Asso-
citation, for the benefit of whose mem
bers the insurance business has been
organized.
While the losses in Florida have
been very much smaller in ratio to
many other states, the rates are IN
most cases very much higher and 1t
is to meet this situation that the
State Association has organized the
Insurance feature, which feature has
long been one of the benefits offered
to members Of California and other
clubs. Only members Of the Florida
State Automobile Association can IN
sure their cars in this subsidiary
company. The rates are very low
because the insurance is sold at cost
and any member desiring insurance
or information with regard to rates.
etc may address the Lakeland MO-
tor Club.
