w. P. Steel Still
Ill From Sciatic
Pains, Improving

The continued illness of w. P.
Steele of Abbott boulevard, Palisade,
has been the cause of great deal of
anxiety among the members of his
family and also his many friends. For
about seven weeks now he has been
a terrible sufferer from sciatic rheuma-
tism, making it necessary for him to
remain indoors, and much of the time
on his couch At times the pain has
been eXcruciating. DR.. Nilsson, the
well known Palisade physico-osteo-
path, has had the case in hand and had
done a great deal of good. This week,
however, he brought into the treatment
a New York electric specialist, and
they hope soon to have the patient on
his feet again. The neighbors have
been very kind, and Mrs. Steele APP
preciates it all very much. Mr. Steele
was gradually improving all this week.
but is still unable to be out.

Fl. Lee High School
Not Much on Looks,
But My! It's Dandy

The Fort Lee High School is mot

body, and its high ideals, disparage
anything so superficial as looks"
And now, what do you suppose they
have gone and done?-Its going to be
called "The Senior Observer" Bill
Corker is the editor Just leave it to
Bill. He is going to have all the
other fancy high schools dashed to
the mast when he let's loose his edi-
torials. Miss Fannie Moscowitz, is as
sociate editor. We hope her gentle
restraining influence will counteract
any rash breaks that Bill may make
Miss Della Abbott, is to have charge
of the Knocking Department. CTeach-
ers please look out. Forewarned is
forearmed. Mr.. Thomas McKenna
and Miss Anna Swenberg, are to So
licit advertising. The Fort Lee trades
map will have a hard time turning
DOWN these two persistent students. OF
course, this staff assures everyone, the
paper is only in the embryonic state,
but when it gets going full blast (and
at eighteen years, youthful ideas run
ramnan) some of our successful edi-
tors will have to look sharp to hold
down their swivel chair jobs.

Giving Child Mind
A Chance to Help
Mould Library

There is library in Fort Lee. You
may not be aware of it, but there is
such an institution. Everyone will
want to know who started it. It's
hardly necessary to ask that question,
for anyone who knows Fort Lee well
enough will know that no one else but
the Mothers Club is responsible for
its, endowment
This past summer a proposal was
made one day at the club that the
school library be kept open one day
a week so that the children should not
be deprived of reading while the school
was closed for vacation. Mrs. Naudet,
Mrs. Wasserman, Mrs Fischer and
Mrs. Waller were elected to look after
the matter. Everyone was anxious
that the children should be allowed to
choose their own books, and they were
curious to see in what direction the
child'S mind runs when away from
the prescribed books he is bound to
read under the regular curriculum.
This summer library was so success
full that when the school season OPEN
ed the older people, as we'll as the
children, decided to get together, and
with the aid of number of loaned
books and those contributed estab-
lished a small circulating library in
the real estate office of Mr.. Fletcher
Burdette, which he very kindly loaned
to them. There are now about 400
books in this library. They are cata-
logued and shelved just like a real
honest to goodness Carnegie library,
for Fort Lee boasts of at least dozen
young ladies who are registered libra
rians, and with the pride which all
Fort Leemans have in them they CO.
operated with these Jealous ladies to
the fullest extent.
The plan is now to have the reading
room open in the evening once a week,
as well as on Wednesday afternoon,
and with the proceeds of the Clan
dance held last week, which were do
mated, electric lights are now beinr
tii Y pu. more pQ,Ss asiiif7.,s,sfteds
\ lore help is needed, and If anyone
has any books to give, any of the
above mentioned ladies will be glad to
have them.

Palisade Church
Has Fine Bazaar,
Makes About $125

The church bazaar in Palisade on
Wednesday afternoon and evening was
largely attended by the village folk,
and a goodly sum realized for the
funds of the Woman's Guild. There
was about everything interesting,
beautiful and useful that could be util-
lied for Christmas gifts, besides all
sorts of practical and inviting re-
freshments. The practical things in
this category consisted of cakes and
other edibles and the inviting ones be-
ing ice cream, coffee, etc, worth while
being eaten then and there
A long table on one side of the long
for sale, and pretty nearly everybody
bought something for their wives or
themselves or for their husbands and
themselves, and this pretty nearly en-
braced everybody. 1t was pretty
nice affair and The cause of the town

gathering The Palisade Junction
uluS SURE very couTleOuSly sent over
to the ladies about five or more dol
lars worth of nice things for the ba-
zaar, which the ladies greatly appre-
GATED
One of the attractions of the occa-
sion was the walking grab-bag, imper-
sonated by Miss Mia McCord, who
wore large apron with pockets all
over it, in which rested scores of use
full and Indifferent articles from which
you took your pick at 10 cents per
pick. This reporter tried his hand,
and the first thing he drew was
small box of rubber type, too late to
be of any use now, for the printers
strike is over. The bazaar netted
about $125.

FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!
AND BARN BURNS DOWN.

About - o'clock Saturday night, the
fire bell rang with that dreadful sound
that always sends chills racing up and
down the spine. No one knows ex-
actly how it happened, but before
"Jack Robinson" could be pronounced,
Carraras barn was up in flames, light
ing the country all around and vol
umes of smoke were pouring from it.
By the time the sleepy inhabitants
were fully conscious, the barn was
almost burnt down, and the poor
frightened horses were dragged out,
badly singed. Fire Protection NO .
was the first to arrive on the scene,
but the damage was already DONE and
all that remained of the barn was
few charred boards.

ever, died just as he was entering col

pastor of one of the Oldest churches
in America at Neshanic, going to that
village in 1921 and giving up the
church in 1878, which he had served
for 81 years. The present pastor, Rev.
John Hart, if he lives to 1921, will
complete the remarkable record for
the old Neshanic Dutch Chugch of hay
ing only two pastors within 100 years.
Mrs Ludlow led a very useful and
religious life. She had many friends
in Palisade who remember her for her
wonderfully fine qualities. She al
ways had kind word for everybody.
The funeral took place last Satur-
day at IL O'Clock in Neshanic.
